Plaudits: Washingtonian 2014 Top 100, Washingtonian 2013 Top 100, Washingtonian 2012 Top 100
Neighborhood: Three locations: Clarendon, Capitol Hill, Rockville
The Setup
With a drink together long overdue, Official Friend of DCWD Greg and I met halfway between our respective homes at Cava Mezze.
The Vibe
All of the Cava joints share the same aesthetic, one that in this day and age is fairly ubiquitous: the orange and brown and black dim-lit dining room, with polished wood tables and an amber glow. The dining room is at-once boxy and serpentine: the former from the sizable chest-high partitions that separate the bar from the seating and that create Tetris-like booths throughout, the latter from a curve in the restaurant that uses the bar area as its spine. Even on this Tuesday night, the place is buzzy and tables feel squelched together; I feel like we're practically on top of the two-tops on either side. It's cool but crowded.
The Food
The other dishes we sample are at a similar level. Greg's introduction to pork belly comes at this dinner, with crispy pork belly glazed in honey and dusted with thyme. They're wonderfully balanced, fatty on one end and crispy on the other, with flavors that show a certain level of welcome restraint. Each tiny bite lets the natural deliciousness of the belly come out while only hinting at sweet, which is incredibly pleasant.
We also try the special of the day: braised Greek-style meatballs the size of billiard balls atop a mound of pureed potatoes and covered in a sherry-based red sauce. I never grew up with meatballs, but these are how I always imagined homemade meatballs might taste like: chunky but crumbly, flavorful but not overwhelming.
We finish out the night with Cava's take on poutine - fries covered in beef, feta, and an interesting tomato sauce (which the menu attributes to cinnamon and burgundy). I like the way that the meat falls apart here and the fries exhibit a great crispiness; the only drawback here is that the whole thing strikes me as fairly dry.
The Verdict
Very, very good Mediterranean mezze. If you can handle a bit of the crowd and noise, then it's a great spot (plus there's a dish they set on fire tableside).

Rocket Fuel CEO George John: Investors Aren't Afraid of Ad Tech
Advertising technology company Rocket Fuel made a high-flying debut when it went public last September, helping raise the profile of tech firms in the complicated online advertising marketplace.
Though stocks of Rocket Fuel and its public peers in the ad tech sector have had a rocky ride this year, Rocket Fuel Chief Executive George John said there's still a lot of value to unlock in the space. The company, founded in 2008, employs artificial intelligence software to help marketers determine when and where to buy ads in real time — what's known as programmatic ad trading. For the first quarter, Rocket Fuel reported its revenue nearly doubled to $74 million, though it has yet to record an annual profit.
CMO Today spoke with Mr. John about the impact of automated ad buying systems on agencies and the pressures of being a public company.
(The Q&A has been edited for brevity.)
Are you doing more business directly with clients versus agencies or trading desks?
For us, principally our work is for agencies not as much through agency trading desks. It's the client-focused buying team within an agency.
In terms of agencies, advertisers are getting more interested in understanding programmatic but they're not necessarily turning that interest into disintermediating agencies. They're partnering more closely with agencies and understanding the scatter. They don't need to get rid of the agency, they need to get them more actively involved… I think Rocket Fuel never would have grown as quickly as it did without agencies as partners.
How big of a problem is ad fraud and how do you address it?
It's a big phenomena I would say, but it doesn't have to be a big problem if advertisers are thoughtful about it in a few ways. If agencies make sure media partners have good filtering in place that's one step… Also making sure we define metrics that are real. Helping our customers get real, defining, clean trusting experiments is a big one.
The market capitalizations of public companies in ad tech have been hurt this year. Do public investors really understand what ad tech is? What are some of the pressures of being a public company?
If you're a public company you have to be ready that fashions sort of come and go. Interest in growth stocks, value stocks come and go. Being ready for some degree of price movement that is out of your control is something you have to be at terms with before going public.
Investors are rotating out of high-growth stocks and relatively newer companies they don't have as much comfort with as say Apple or Google… I don't read it as some sort of investors' fear of ad tech at all. On the contrary, when we went on our roadshow and talked to investors, many of them are incredibly smart. I've been blown away by how insightful many of their questions have been… We're an unusual company with this core of artificial intelligence, building that software and operating that software within the environment of digital marketing. It just takes energy to explain to investors how we're different. Aside from that, I'm really happy with our relationship with our investors.
What other challenges remain in the ad tech space?
Getting real. Marketing really cleanly splits between creativity and science – figuring out what's true by running experiments and testing hypotheses.
On the science side, it's so important for marketers to understand is something really working or not. The challenge in ad tech, and maybe what's holding digital back from achieving the percent of budget allocation it deserves, is that companies vary a lot in terms of how precise they are, how correct they are on measuring the impact on marketing and advertising… If I were in marketing right now, the most important thing is having the right tool to understand whats working and to what degree and drive investment toward right tools and partners.

From the moment I saw my first literature circles in action over 15 years ago, the concept grabbed me. I was visiting another school and observed kids meeting together to discuss books they were reading. I remember thinking, "What a terrific idea! I've got to try that with my students!" Having kids form reading groups based on their own book selections seemed like the ideal way to teach reading. However, as soon as I began to try literature circles, I realized that implementing an effective program wasn't quite as easy as it appeared. I struggled with how to structure the program in a way that would hold kids accountable without dampening their enthusiasm for reading. I tinkered with various types of literature circles, from a highly-structured teacher-directed model similar to guided reading groups to a more loosely-structured, student-directed model. After several years of experimenting, I finally settled on a process I refer to as Classroom Book Clubs which seems to have the perfect combination of flexibility and accountability. Book Clubs are very easy to implement and they don't involve roles or excessive amounts of written preparation. The last few years that I was in the classroom, I used this model to supplement other methods of instruction such as the balanced literacy framework and reading workshop.
My students and I loved this method of using literature circles so much that I decided to create a slidecast program of instructional videos to share the strategies with other teachers. I also held a free webinar on this topic to provide more information and answer questions. During the webinar I explained how Literature Circles fit with the Common Core standards, how to create groups, how to encourage kids to participate actively in the discussions, and more. Participants shared their own strategies via the chat box which made it an interactive, exciting session. You can view the recording from the Literature Circles page on Teaching Resources. I hope you enjoy it!

Lecithin and Phosphatides
Lecithin is the most common natural phospholipid that is found in many animal tissues and organs as an important constituent of biological membranes. It is also widespread in the plant world and abundant in legumes, cereals and seed embryos. Vegetable lecithin is the main constituent of commercially available sources, in which the majority of lecithin is derived from soybeans. Lecithin's biological and physiological properties make it useful in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics fields. Moreover, it is widely used for a dietary supplement to aid in memory and cognitive function, cardiovascular health and liver function.
Lecithin from soybean sources is a complex mixture of phosphatides that contains mainly of Phosphatidylcholine (PC), Phosphatidyethanilamine (PE) and Phosphatidylinositol (PI) with minor amount of Phosphatidic acid (PA), Phosphatidylserine (PS), and corresponding lysophosphatidyl derivatives (LPC, LPE, LPI, and LPS). Neutral lipids, free fatty acids, carbohydrates and other components are also present in soy lecithin. High-purity PC and PE, the fraction products of phospholipids, were extensively applied in the fields of nourishment, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Among PC, PE and other phosphatides, PC is one of important active ingredients, which acts as a vehicle for essential fatty acids to promote metabolism through the cell membrane. Research has shown that Phosphatidylcholine is beneficial in depression, memory loss and neurological disorders.
The composition of lecithin is largely dependent on lecithin source and degree of purification. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining lecithin PC and PE of sufficient purity, it is important to develop rapid and effective analytical methods for the purpose of quality control and to discover any commercial frauds. HPLC technique has been widely used to develop selective and specific assays, which are required by current pharmaceutical regulations. HPLC analysis of lipids is a comparatively less developed field of application of this technique. American Oil Chemistry Organization (AOCS) established an HPLC method to determine PC, PE and PI in Lecithin by HPLC, which is validated and mostly performed for analysis lecithin. This HPLC method allows separation between different classes of lipids and between individual compounds within a certain class.
NOW Foods carries variety of lecithin products, including Lecithin powder, granule and softgel. To ensure the quality of these products, we have developed HPLC method based on official AOCS method to validate analytical procedure for testing PC, PE and PI. This analytical method is accurate, efficient and simultaneous to determine typical levels of various phosphatidylcholine compounds to ensure the quality of our lecithin products.

Is your brand and your content marketing living the "Question Lifestyle"? Do you speak the language of questions?
I'm fresh back from CMWorld. There was a lot of talk about "questions" and answering questions as being the most effective form of content marketing you can imagine. Marcus Sheridan, Ann Handley, and Jay Baer were all banging the questions = utility drum.
All this talk of questions reminded me of a story, that I think you'll want to hear it. If it doesn't change your mind on content strategy, I'm not sure anything will.
My teenage daughter told me a story about how her mom confiscated her iPhone. What was her first reaction? It wasn't to phone a friend, it was simply "Ask Google". This is the behaviour of her generation. Ask first. She read blog posts that gave her all the tips she needed and 5 minutes later she had a strategy. It worked. She got her phone back. Perhaps parents need to use Google more. Try asking "How to defend your action to confiscate your childs iPhone". Google helps both sides act smarter. Right now I think the kids are winning. They get Google. I sense most parents don't use Google like this.
My big thought is we that live in the "Age of the Question". Questions are a lifestyle – a way of living. We live in a self-service economy.
- Brands do not own their sales cycles.
- Customers and prospects own their curiosity cycle.
We don't begin with a plan to buy anything, we simply get curious. We "Google" questions with no fear of embarrassment. Your browser does not judge you. Fear not Google may not judge, but it is listening. The collective wisdom and curiosity (or ignorance) of billions of people is being accumulated for society's benefit. Are you using Google to tap into popular search terms.
The question to ask is "Is your blog playing its part?". Is your company living in the age of the question. Are you listening to the questions people are asking across the web (and not just on your site). Are you helping people discover your brand by responding to their curiosities? Are your seeding a sales cycle in which you become the trusted source of information?
Don't kid yourself and think that any question it too basic. 20% of Google searches are new, so there is demand for questions and answers that are both simple and complex. That means people have an ever expanding curiosity. Your job is to help people help themselves. Part of your job is to help them figure out the right questions. I learned a wonderful term from Ann Handley via John Jantsch – The FUQ – The Frequently Unasked Question. Don't assume people know the questions to ask. That's why you need to get super simple. Start with basic questions and build from there. Help people to ask better questions. Help people learn to trust your answers. Be the best source of questions in your industry.
These three lists that are must haves for any website and something you can implement today.
- FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
- FUQ – Frequently Unasked Questions
- FRO – Frequently raised objections
I know I'm planning an overhaul of our FAQ lists . I added an FUQ and an FRO in response to the conference and the talks I attended. I have Sonia Simone of Copyblogger to thank for the term FRO. Jump in and add suggestions. This is the way to flush out real needs from real people. If I can do it, so can you.
Jay Baer coined the term "Social FAQ". This makes perfect sense. Your FAQ's can be a big source of organic traffic if you implement them well. The idea of making your answers so valuable and so socially compelling that people want to contribute and share the answers is scarily obvious, but still easy to miss. It's actionable. It's fixable and it's a perfect way to put Listly to work.
Don't be afraid to show some personality in your question lists too. Don't pitch or sound like a product brochure. Give short concise, factual answers and link to other resources.
Let people extend your FAQs, FUQs and FROs. This gives people a sense that you are really listening and you will learn more about what they need.
Chapter 15 of Ann Handley's and CC Chapman's book "Content Rules" talks about FAQ's being the unsung heros of your website. Well worth a listen (I have the Audible edition). Here's some slides on the outline of the book
So what's stopping you making your FAQ's social?

Inundated with work, songwriter Eden Mulholland is busy trying to keep all of his customers satisfied, writes Lydia Jenkin.
Eden Mulholland is one of those musicians who is so talented he seems to have music dripping from his fingertips. But despite many successes, he's yet to become a household name. His band, Motocade (which includes his brother Will), got plenty of radio spins with tracks like Holy Moly and Oldest Trick in the Book, and had songs featured on Home and Away.
His other band, the Mots (which is co-fronted by other brother Jol), are indie favourites for their rare, rollicking performances, and Mulholland has made an impressive name for himself writing music for a range of dance and theatre shows - so much so that it's often a full-time job.
For many years he's balanced these different musical identities seemingly with ease, but with his soon-to-be released 12-track debut solo album, Feed The Beast, he's come up with a triumphant combination of both his pop prowess and his more abstract creative abilities.
Fans can rest assured that Motocade is still going - they've got a new album ready to release in the near future - and this is simply an alternate outpouring of Mulholland's endless musical ideas.
Some credit must go to his parents, what with so much musical talent in one family. Jol released his solo album in 2011, along with the Mots' self-titled 2008 album, as well as fronting Gasoline Cowboy, playing with Liam Finn, and producing records for a long list of local luminaries; their dad was in a band, their mum played piano, and it seemed only natural for all the kids to pick up guitars and start writing, which they did.
But, as a child, Eden was more interested in dancing.
"I did a lot of ballet when I was a boy, and the best thing about it was being on stage. I was never the most dedicated when it came to practice. I just wanted to be on stage."
Wanting to write songs and play music developed almost in tandem to his dancing.
"I wasn't really heavily into listening to music when I was younger. I'd just listen to what my brothers and Dad listened to - Dire Straits, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon. It wasn't really until I became a dancer that I paid more attention to music, and I didn't even really fancy myself being in a band until my early 20s."
It was after he'd finished his performing arts degree that the seed of Motocade was planted.
"I was a bit sick of dancing, and went 'I'm going to move to London and hang out with my mates'. And that was a bit of a disaster, but it compelled me to start writing music in my bedroom, and when I came back to New Zealand I thought, 'I'll start a band with my brother Will'. So I did."
Of course, his love of dance soon led him back to writing music for dance performances too - choreographers like Malia Johnston, Sarah Foster, and Michael Parmenter would commission works, and it wasn't long before Auckland Theatre Company came knocking, too.
Rather than keep all those tasks separate in his head, he found they would often merge and influence each other, feeding his inspiration.
"Those different threads of my personality have woven themselves together and I don't think I could have one without the other. Writing music for other people has become so much a part of me that I really like the way other people can influence what I write."
With this album, which was recorded with the help of Neil Baldock at Roundhead Studios, he's taken past ideas from his dance composition works as the basis, and shaped them to suit a live pop band.
"I've songified them," he laughs.
"A lot of the elements of theatre and dance music are too abstract for live bands, unless you wanted to be Sigur Ross or Brian Eno. I still have tendencies to have a clear message, and write pop music. I'm still too young to want to be abstract [laughter] - it'll happen one day, though. You start liking the sound of chairs scraping."
The result is a diverse but convincing set of songs with a deep sense of rhythm and propulsion. There are straight-up pop songs like the first single, I Will Echo, which evolved out of a 20-second loop, or the beautiful piano-based Blueprint, and then there's Beside Itself , which sounds like Thom Yorke meets MIA, all industrial electronic beats and spoken word/rap. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they're all songs that make you want to move - you can imagine a bit of dancing might go on during the writing and recording.
"My wife likes to dance to them. [As a professional dancer] she's got a really strong affinity for music that makes you have a visceral response like that, which is great for me."
To be so creatively prolific may seem exhausting from the outside, but it seems to come very naturally to Mulholland.
"I have to write. I have to feed the beast," he laughs.
"That's what that title is about really. You can read that in a universal way, not necessarily specific to me. But the beast could be either bad or good, and you sort of have to do it either way."
Who: Eden Mulholland
What: New album Feed the Beast out June 7
Where and when: Touring New Zealand in July, including a show at Backbeat Bar in Auckland on Saturday, July 6. See edenmulholland.com for more dates.

Added gussets to one side of my sliders, made them way more stiff.
Started caping my tubes....bout time
My bent tie rod
Gonna change that up a little. I am going to shorten up the drag link to the same length of the track bar, weld some tabs onto the tie rod to mount the drag link in double shear with a 3/4" bolt, flip the tie rod to the top of the knuckles to gain some clearance, mount with 3/4" bolts. Then I am going to flip the drag link to the top of the pitman arm. If I don't, things wont clear and the angle wont be right. I was also thinking about making it double shear...anyone see a problem with doing that? Welding to the pitman arm?
I just don't like how this all looks and I wanna make it double shear, on top
And here is one how it sits....
One last thing, I am gonna buy some Pacer flexy flares to help clean up the cut fenders. Oh, and my winch will be here tomorrow, so stay tuned for mounting of that.

Hundreds of young children are poisoned by lead paint in Massachusetts each year. Lead poisoning can cause permanent damage to a child's brain, kidneys, and nervous system. It can also result in serious learning and behavior problems. The Lead Law protects child's right to a lead-safe home.
What does the lead law require?
The Lead Law requires the removal or covering of lead paint hazards in homes built before 1978 where any children under six live. Lead paint hazards include loose lead paint and lead paint on windows and other surfaces accessible to children. Owners are responsible with complying with the law. This includes owners of rental property as well as owners living in their own single family home. Financial help is available through tax credits, grants and loans.
How does an owner comply with the lead law?
There are two ways:
- Have all lead hazards removed or covered. The owner must first hire a licensed lead inspector who will test the home for lead and record all lead hazards. After the work is approved, the owner will receive a Letter of Full Compliance.
- Have only urgent lead hazards corrected, while controlling remaining hazards. This temporary method is called interim control. The owner must first hire a licensed risk assessor who will explain what work needs to be done for interim control.
After the work is approved, the owner will receive a Letter of Interim Control. Owners then have up to two years before they must have the remaining lead hazards removed or covered and receive a Letter of Full Compliance.
Who can remove or cover lead hazards?
Some work must be done by a licensed deleader. However, an owner or agent (someone working for an owner without a deleader's license) can perform some specific tasks. An owner or agent cannot begin any of those tasks until:
- The home is inspected by a licensed lead inspector
- The owner or agent is properly trained to perform the deleading work
For more information about what work may be done by an owner or agent and how to become trained, call the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program at 1-800-532-9571
Can a rental property owner be held liable for a lead poisoned child?
Yes. If a child is lead poisoned by lead hazards where the child lives, the owner is legally responsible. An owner cannot avoid liability by asking tenants to sign an agreement that they accept the presence of lead paint. Complying with the Lead Law is the best protection an owner has from liability.
Can an owner evict or refuse to rent to a family with children under six if there is lead paint in the home?
No. An owner cannot evict or refuse to rent to anyone because of lead paint. Discrimination is against the law and carries penalties.
For more information against discrimination, call the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination in Boston at (617) 727-3990 or Springfield at (413) 739-2145
For more information, call the Massachusetts Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program at toll free 1- 800-532-9571.

White People Mourn For Romney
Posted in the Indianapolis Forum
#1 Nov 8, 2012
Since: Dec 06
#2 Nov 9, 2012
No we are mourning for this country. Have you bothered to read the news? Stock Market getting ready to crash. People getting laid off or hours cut to part time because of ObamaCare. Interested rates on saving is nothing. So you are celebrating Obama's win? Very sick person.
#3 Nov 9, 2012
I don't mourn for any politician , That's where people become dumb and followers of promises unkept or endless handouts to get their votes. That's the Dem party who continue that cycle. Romney is just a man. Yes even I knew he would lose to the corrupt Chicago machine Obama is part of. I new media once again would spin it even after the election as of why Romney lost in these demographics . The polls showed otherwise before hand. The fix was in again for Obama to win. Yes like I said he even had help from Rino repubs within the republican party as Dick Lugar endorsed Obama when he was senator Lugar . He was the dems favorite republican . Like Arlen Specter was also.He became a dem lets not forget that.You will see countless polls and explanations on why Obama won and pulled off such a great win. While still all the polls even the night before election had Romney winning easily and big. even spin doctors in media were shocked at the outcome as much as millions of voters dem and repubs were of the outcome , were to believe the house and senate remained the same in power. Yet Obamawins again, This the congress that people supposedly despise . again the big cheat happened on election night. Like I said no investigation will happen because as many rino repubs allowed it to happen also. They kept their seats and power, They got to toss out tea part congress people. That means they can spend more and be held unaccountable like Obama.
#4 Nov 9, 2012
I agree David they are climatic over another OBAMA WIN as companies already weeks before were cutting workers hours to the bone, Now big companies or letting people go by the thousand before the holiday seasons arrive. They truly don't get supply and demand nor economics and taxes, The burden of taxing and regulation upon business and citizens.I could be here celebrating Mike Pence winning , Yet I don't fall into that category or hype after any election. I look at the facts and repercussions instead. It's looking very bad fr America's economy even more so than in 2007 and 2008 .I agree with one guy I read, he said it's time for people to move to every state that's red and has no income tax and death tax. It's time to shuffle those feet and relocate out of those blue states if you are there now. Go to states that love small business and big business and rewards them and the people living there with less tax burdens and allows them to thrive and profit without being ridiculed and mocked for being wealthy and successful.Also believe these elections were handed to Obama to pacify the left for the Al Gore loss. Now republicans if they want can say well you got 8 years of Obama and a stolen election so hush up already, You had a black man as President for 8 years with 2 years to star off with full power , Thank bilderberg while you're at it also. I guess it's okay for Obam to be part of Bilderberg and skull and bones unlike GWB .GOOD OLE ILLUMINATI WINS AGAIN.
#5 Nov 9, 2012
You are an idiot. White people are tired of the free hand-outs and people losing their jobs (because they work). We'll see if you are saying this a year from now. Look what has happened in just the short few days he has been re-elected. I don't want to hear one citch and complain from anyone who voted him back into office. Look at the stock markets.
"Enjoy!!!"? Ha. You will enjoy it more than anyone it looks like. We'll see in due time. Yes, we will.
#6 Nov 9, 2012
is a real funny look at kooks.
#7 Nov 9, 2012
Here is a current list of companies who waited until the election was over for the following layoff announcements:
Smith & Nephew 700
Abbott Labs 700
Covidien 595
Kinetic Concepts 427
St Jude Medical 300
Hill Rom 200
Welch Allyn 275 over three yrs
Stryker 1170
Boston Scientific 1500
Medtronic 1500
Boeing 30% of management level
Beechcraft 470
Pepsi 4000
Bristol-Meyers 500
Groupon 80
Energizer Holdings 1500 or 10%
Vestas Wind Systems 3000 (plus, they got 50 mil from the 2009 Obama Stimulus Pkg)
Husquvarna 600
Ameridose 800
Pratt/Whitney 100
And this is just this week. There will be more. Many, many more.
Now who's sorry.

David Obama loves lay offs That means more people collecting unemployment that he can also push on to food stamps and welfare. Nancy Pelosi said she is proud to be4 called the party of welfare and food stamps , She said she is proud Obama is called the Food stamp King.That's any liberals agenda is to put everyone they can on welfare dependent always on big Govt handouts .Believe me the Liberals love the fact that companies are laying off more people. Under Obama there was a 70% increase of people going on welfare , Obama at the right time did away with the welfare to work clause, That alone killed the whole bill. He did it unconstitutionally also. That bill was passed overwhelmingly by a republican congress along with bipartisan support and Bill Clinton signed that welfare to work bill. Obama warned the supreme court last year, They better not deem his Obama care unconstitutional , Obama said it was passed overwhelmingly by a democratic congress. He warned the justices also that they were appointed not elected. Yet Obama removed a clause from the welfare to work law. Yet no republicans have done a thing on challenging his abuse of powers.I know that many rino repubs knew the big cheat was on on election day. They knew the dems would cheat and help Obama win again, They knew dems and union thugs were stuffing ballot boxes. Most that knew were rino's . They also despise the tea party. This win for Obam was to try and weaken the tea party, They shall see come 2014 how they messed up again. As many rino repubs will be ousted. The Tea Party will be Thee party of choice always.Many more jobs lost coming.The dems are going to try along with the union heads to get a bill passed that says you can never be fired from any job, They also want another bill passed that says no person can ever lose their home.
#13 Nov 10, 2012
I know many who collected unemployment they called it fun-employment as they got extended unemployment benefits over and over under Obama. Why work when the govt and the tax payers working have to pay for their freebies forever. Obama told them stay in school. That's what they do in Europe , ,Many live off the dole as they party at the pubs and stay in universities forever .
#14 Nov 10, 2012
I hope everyone's prepping.
Since: Dec 06
#15 Nov 11, 2012
I just found out that if you work 30 hours a week, under ObamaCare you will be considered full time. That is why my daughter in law is getting cut to 28 hours a week. Another company says it will be cutting jobs to part time. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/11/11/ceo-papa...
Since only full-time employees working 30 hours or more must be covered under the new law, he said he expects franchise owners will be forced to cut employees' hours
Go Obama.
#16 Nov 12, 2012
Yup, and you can bet it'll stay that way. They can hire two people full time for 40 hours, OR they can hire 3 people for 25 hours. And it's legal.
#17 Nov 12, 2012
Romney was elected????? O.M.G!!!
Since: Dec 06
#18 Nov 12, 2012
I was just at arby's today at lunch. The manger had a long face today. She just found out that they are cutting her to 28 hours and part time. Why? ObamaCare.
#19 Nov 13, 2012
This is going to keep happening anywhere there's retail.
Sorry, but this is what happens when you screw with peoples taxes.
Business owners, no matter how small or large, are people too, whether or not you like them or are jealous that they've made it.
#20 Nov 13, 2012
Funny that her and thousands like her who most likely voted for obummer will now find themselves in the same boat, as they scratch their asses wondering "wot de hale jus happent?"

Today was a nightmare and it's not calming down any! It all started with Gunther grabbing one of my potted plants and dumping it out all over the yard. I don't hit my dog except a slap on the snout when he's biting too hard but I did yell at him quite a bit over that one. My husband salvaged the dirt and seeds so I then put a pile of Gunther's poop in each pot and put more dirt over it. I'm hoping that helps. Then he refused to listen to a word I said during play or training so since I was already mad I threw out the training and stuck to just play. He dropped a Kong at my feet and when I went to move to throw the football I tripped on the Kong and fell flat on my left side onto some not yet placed patio bricks. Partially my fault because I had my hair down and it's like the Cousin It effect when it's down. Gunther was no help whatsoever and just sat there staring at me wondering why I was on the ground not moving and groaning in pain. To his credit he did sit and let me use him to help myself up. After I rubbed the giant welt in my left thigh we played until I went to work.
Came home from work to a super hyper active Gunther. He has stopped taking his medicine readily so we had to do the drop down into the gullet. For the past 2 hours since I have been home he has NOT stopped acting like a maniac. He is in and out of the door. When he's in he starts biting and barking and grabbing my sleeve to go out with him. When he's outside he jumps endlessly on the door to get back in. It is 1:30 in the morning and 33 degrees out, I am not going to go play in the yard.
I really hope he settles down ASAP.
Hail Gunther 7-2-2013

One would thank the staff that administer this residence. They are very helping and nice. The residence is very central and it takes less than a 7 minute' walk to come to Istiklal Cd. The residence building is effectively renovated. The atmosphere in the appt we rented was cosy and warm.
Alt var inden for gåafstand.
Værter var meget venlige og hjælpsomme. Hotellet opfyldt vores forventninger. Alt hvad du behøver var tilgængelig.
Tak. K.Juntke
Alles war zu Fuss zu erreichen.
Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft entsprach unseren Vorstellungen. Alles, was man braucht, war vorhanden.
Danke. K.Juntke
Overnatning i Wimdu giver mulighed for bedre integration i den fastboende befolkning i forhold til et hotel ophold og også billigere. Værterne er meget svært at behage gæster. Ulempen er den høje provision på 15%!
Die Übernachtung in WIMDU-Unterkünfte ermöglicht eine bessere Einbindung in die Wohnbevölkerung gegenüber einem Hotelaufenthalt und zudem preiswerter. Die Gastgeber sind sehr bemüht Gäste zufriedenzustellen. Der Nachteil ist die hohe Vermittlungsprovision von 15 %!
Takket være en masse Erdal for din gæstfrihed. Du er meget venlig og god vært. Det var meget rart at bo i Istanbul i din lejlighed. Sikker på, vi vil bo i din lejlighed i Istanbul, når vi kommer tilbage igen.
Varm hilsen, Irina og min familie :))
Thanks a lot Erdal for your hospitality. You are very friendly and good host. That was very nice to stay at Istanbul in your apartment. Sure we will stay in your apartment in Istanbul when we come back there again.
Warm regards, Irina and my family:))
dejlig lejlighed, meget godt placeret (10 minutter fra Istiklal Street).
Meget ren og med alle faciliteter (meget komplet køkken, babyudstyr) havde vi en meget god ophold, selv om gade støjen var helt til stede nogle aftener. Istanbul er en levende by, og jeg tror, det er den samme overalt ...
appartement agreable, tres bien placé (à 10min de la rue İstiklal).
Tres propre et avec toutes les commodités (cuisine tres complete, equipement bébé); nous y avons passé un tres bon sejour, meme si le bruit dans la rue etait assez present certains soirs. Istanbul est une ville vivante, et je pense que c'est partout pareil...
We strongly recommend Güner & Berivan & Erdal. They're very kind and nice, the aparts are clean and tidy :)
Recently renovated, nice and clean (and purple) appartment close to Istiklal. Friendly host.
It's an appartment 5min from Istiklal ave, clean, not too small and we had a good welcome. We appreciated the washing machine, the kitchen and especially the material for our baby (bed, basin ans chair).
Die Unterkunft hat kein Fenster. Sie ist ok. Sehr sauber war sie nämlich nicht. Der Boden war immer noch dreckig. Jedoch war die Toilette sehr sauber und modern.

Unique Custom Hardwood Floors5911 28th Ave SE Calgary, Alberta Canada
Unique Custom Hardwood Floors Dylan Coulson Fraud, service paid for but not provided. Calgary Alberta
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Dylan Coulson of Unique Custom Hardwood Floors was hired to refinish the pine floors in my house. A deposit of $1000 was paid to secure a date for start of the work. Promises were made that the process would take 4 days total. Promises were made that the process would be dustless, and the end result would be beautiful.
On the start day, we had our house ready (and empty), but Dylan Coulson did not show up. The job was started the next day. Dylan and his employee stripped and sanded the floors. The process was anything but dustless. Dust filled the house. Dylan claimed that his machines were acting up and the floor wasn't perfectly level in places. Dylan rushed through the job, arriving late (based on his proposed start times) and leaving early. By the 4th day, the floor was ready for product to be applied (oil based polyurethane).
The first coat of product was applied and we inspected the result the next day. The floor had lap marks and pooling marks, which Dylan promised would disappear after the final coat. The floor was then quickly screened and a second coat of Polyurethane was applied.
It was then that Dylan requested final payment. He assured us that the floor would be perfect, and if there were any issues, his work was fully guaranteed and he would take care of it. At this point the remainder of the $2200 owing was paid in cash. A receipt with everything outlined was provided.
Once the floor dried and we could enter the house, it was obvious that the floor was anything but perfect. The floor was covered with lap marks, areas of pooling, and missed areas. Instead of applying the product "with the grain", it was applied "against the grain" resulting in a terrible floor.
Dylan was contacted numerous times via telephone and text messages. He promised each time to rectify the situation, to honour his "guarantee". Appointments were set up to rescreen and resurface the floor. Each appointment was missed, with an excuse. 5 appointments in total. We Have now been living in an empty house for 4 weeks, waiting for the floor to be redone. Dylan now no longer answers his phone when we call, instead allowing it to go directly to voice mail. If we contact him via text message, he either claims he is very busy, or does not answer his phone.
We recently did a search of Unique Custom Hardwood Floors and Dylan Coulson and determined that he has failed to honour his contracts in the past. He used to own Woodchop Flooring in Vancouver, and has since changed his business name when he moved to Calgary. Both Unique Custom Hardwood Floors and Woodchop Flooring have fraud issues associated with them.
Be warned...do not deal with Unique Custom Hardwood Floors from Calgary, or with Dylan Coulson, or if you do, do no make ANY payments until you can verify the satisfactory completion of your job.

Rockaway Man's Spiritual Literature
Thomas McRae, son of Sylvia and Marshall McRae, is a Rockaway resident who has released his newest book titled "Poetic Salvation: My Acknowledgement to Our Lord." This will be the '96 Beach Channel High School graduate's fourth published book, all of them dealing with spritual issues.
McRae, who has been spreading the good word through his works via Internet or on the A-train to Manhattan, believes and appreciates "[the] Father 4 blessing me with a good heart and a wonderful talent."
In his third poem titled, "Inspiration," he backs up his preface in which he gave thanks to the "Father" for his inspiring aid during difficult times by stating, "I prayed 2 you Father when no one else cared and appreciate the fact you made my heart sincere."
McRae also gives credit to his mother and father in the preface for his new book. He recognizes his mother for raising two boys and being the "sweetest and kindest Christian."
And, he says his father was and still is his top role model in his life because of his life lessons, sense of morality, and financial care for his family. Currently, McRae is employed by the New York City Housing Association and still has time to do what he loves; writing spiritual poetry.
Out of the 23 poems he has published in his new book, "Knowledge" is the shortest yet most inspirational poem:
"Hate is an obstacle that can devour our souls but love is the inspiration we shall forever need 2 grow."
McRae uses "hate" as a metaphorical animal that can "devour our souls."
Yet, he then provides the solution to the evil by stating "love is the inspiration we shall forever need 2 grow."

The mother of a police officer left brain damaged when a colleague jumped a red light at 75mph said today: "I don't bear him a grudge."
Wendy Clarke's special constable son Reece suffered horrific injuries while in the passenger seat of a marked police car driven by Pc Ian Thompson when it ploughed into a taxi and flipped over.
Yesterday Thompson admitted careless driving and was fined £250. However, Mrs Clarke, 49, said the fine was "the right sentence", adding: "He was only doing his job. I do not blame him."
Mr Clarke suffered a fractured skull and went into a coma while the driver of the taxi also suffered serious injuries. Ipswich crown court heard how Thompson had been responding to an emergency alarm at the custody suite at Basildon police station.
He is believed to have been travelling at about 75mph when he jumped the red light in Broadmayne in Basildon, and collided with the taxi.
Mr Clarke suffered life-changing brain damage and is now cared for at a specialist ward at Northwick Park Hospital. His mother said her son, who was 19 at the time, would be coming home soon following the accident in July last year. Mrs Clarke, of Southend, said: "He has improved but is still in a wheelchair. He can now communicate through a computer."
Judge David Goodin told the court Mrs Clarke had acted with "generosity" in not pursuing a more serious charge. The taxi driver, 31, is recovering after sustaining a broken leg and pelvis in the crash.
The crash was investigated by the Independent Police Complaint Commission and Thompson is expected to face disciplinary proceedings.

|Hawaiian-themed golf clubs for the First Family vacation
With the "Fiscal Cliff" looming on the horizon, President Obama and the rest of the First Family will be jetting off to Hawaii to inconvenience an island and at the same time waste more than $4 million of American's hard-earned tax dollars he claims to be so interested in protecting!
|Replica White House gate flown to Hawii for the First Family vacation
The biggest expense is Mr. Obama's roundtrip flight to Hawaii on Air Force One, which costs taxpayers $3,271,622.
The cost of flying the U.S. Air Force C-17 cargo plane that carries the presidential limos, helicopters and other support equipment to Hawaii and back is $258,000.
The houses the Obamas rent are fronted by the ocean and backed by a canal so taxpayers have to cover the costs of housing the Secret Service, Coast Guard and Navy Seals in beachfront and canal homes for an estimated total cost of $176,400.
Local taxpayers pick up the tab for local police overtime and the use of the city ambulance that accompanies the president 24 hours a day, for a total of $250,000. (Source)

Walker Survives WI Recall Election [VIDEO]
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a Republican, has survived his recall election, beating back a challenge by Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Walker's victory caps months of bitter acrimony that began when Walker and Republicans in the state legislature rolled back what they considered excesses in the collective bargaining rights of public employee unions. Walker becomes the first governor in American history to stay in office after a recall challenge. Walker's lieutenant governor, Republican Rebecca Kleefisch, has also survived her recall election.
FOX News Radio's Jennifer Keiper reports from Walker Headquarters in Waukesha:
Audio clip:
From America's Election Headquarters…
(Kleefisch) "Now this is what democracy looks like."
Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefish and Governor Scott walker survive a recall election.
Losing: Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett who thought heavy turnout would help him.
Walker's hard line approach on public public-sector unions, apparently wasn't enough to sway voters.
(Walker) "And we tell people all across the globe that voters really do want leaders who stand up and make the tough decisions."
Challenger Tom Barrett says…
(Barrett) "What we have seen, over the last 16 months, is we have seen this democracy come alive."
The loss is a blow to Walker's challengers who spent millions in an effort to oust him.
At Walker Headquarters in Waukesha, Jennifer Keiper, FOX News Radio.

Amarillo Police Investigating Robbery at Dillards
Amarillo, Texas -
AMARILLO -- Monday evening around 6:46 PM, Amarillo Police responded to a called at Dillards on a reported robbery. Four Dillard's loss prevention employees and a mall security guard reported the incident.
Officers learned that the four suspects, two males and two females, entered the store at about 4:45 p.m. They walked around the store and made purchases on debit and credit cards. One of them also concealed some women's clothing and made no attempt to pay for it.
When the four walked out, store security followed them. The store employees spoke to the four and told them to stop. One loss prevention employee took physical custody of the bags one male suspect was carrying, including a woman's purse.
Another Dillard's employee tried to detain one of the females.
Three of the suspects ran to a white and blue 80's or 90's GMC pickup in the parking lot.
The male suspect that had been carrying the bags told the security employee that he had a gun. The male then ran to the pickup and retrieved a silver colored handgun. He walked back toward the loss prevention employees, pointing the gun at them and threatening them.
The store security went back inside.
The armed suspect then got into the pickup and left the mall.
The vehicle was last seen southbound on S. Coulter. The purse taken from the suspect contained credit cards and other identifying documents that were stolen in an auto burglary at the mall on Saturday.
There have been no arrests.

New Artificial Kidney a Viable Alternative to Dialysis
Organs are hard to come by. Just ask the 92,000 patients with renal failure who weren't able to find a donor kidney last year.
Dialysis is only an imperfect solution to kidney failure, as it replicates the kidneys' waste functions, but cannot carry out any of the kidneys' endocrine functions. Dialysis also limits mobility and carries with it an infection risk at the dialysis site.
Researchers at UCSF and nine other labs are in the process of creating an artificial kidney that could be used in case a donor organ is not available and as a better alternative to dialysis. The artificial kidney is a combination of real cells and nanofilters, a "mechanical device combined with cells," describes project lead Dr. Shuvo Roy.
The artificial kidney can last indefinitely, as long as new cells are injected into the kidney every two years or so. Although the artificial kidney can't produce any of the compounds that a real kidney can, the artificial kidney gets the job of waste filtering done without any hassle to the patient.
Dr. Roy hopes that the kidney will be on clinical trial by 2016, meaning that the artificial kidney won't go on the market for quite a few years yet.
Supertrek32The quantities required would mean it would need to be refilled quite frequently - which would mean regular risk of infection. It would also make the device that much more complex and incorporate more points of failure. Add on the added R&D costs and you're easily tripling the price. If you could just take pills to replace the lost hormones, it would be much cheaper and safer.
This is all assuming we can produce the needed compounds synthetically and that they can be introduced orally. I've no idea if we can or not.
AnonymousAs of right now, we inject synthetic erythropoietin intravenously (through the dialysis machine during treatment) or subcutaneously to aid the body in the production of red blood cells since the kidney can no longer do so. As of right now, there is no oral form.
I would love to see how much this "kidney" would cost and who would be eligible to receive it. All dialysis patients? Only transplant patients? It cost over $5000 per month per patient for dialysis. I have had patients on dialysis for over 20 years. Would this be more cost effective in the long run?
There would be no easy way to refill the kidney with these substances when it runs out.
They do replace some substances during dialysis but it doesnt work as well as when a kidney is in place. Probably other factors/substances involved.
I'll bet you they never thought of that, what with them spending all day every day working on the artificial kidney problem. Maybe you should send then your suggestion.
It must be nice to live in fantasy land where doctors spend tens of thousands (or more) to get their degrees, spend a few more years of their life as an intern, then take a minimum wage job to ensure they stay in debt until they die.
The people doing the research are people too, and they have needs. Money is how we fulfill those needs in the real world. This evil money has enabled research into things that likely never would have happened if there weren't huge monetary rewards for the pharmaceutical companies (not that they aren't taking advantage of us and screwing us at every turn too).
It's an imperfect system, but it's the only one we've got.
if you knew anything, you would realize that those greed capitalists would WANT to bring this to market as fast as possible so that they can make money!!
Capitalism is what makes the world work. Ever wonder why this was created here and not North Korea?!?!
AnonymousDialysis has been obsolete for the past 15 years: http://trishatorrey.com/2008/05/06/conspiracy-theories-reversing-kidney-disease-and-personalized-medicine/ If more people knew about it, then 90% of kidney failure could be prevented, and there'd be plenty of cadaver kidneys (35,000/yr) for the relatively few remaining kidney failure patients (10,000/yr, instead of 100,000/yr). So, no shortage of kidneys, and no waiting list. Prevention is always the cheapest way to get the best outcomes. But spreading the word has been hard, dialysis being such a lucrative procedure for healthcare. Each dialysis patient brings in $100K/yr for the 2-3 yrs that they're typically alive.
You miss his point though idiot.
Without everything being based off money we would be far more advanced. It wouldn't be a matter of "can we make money off of it?" it would be a matter of "does this benefit humanity?"
Don't forget dying because of the shortcomings or lack of progress of current state of technology and civilization!!
LOL wtf?! "I just hold life above all other monetary systems" ...Careful you could get hurt if you fall off that high horse... Oh, and "OTHER" monetary systems, life is curency? So you endorse slavery? Yeah, I know nitpicking, but i'm nitpicking on ignorant statements from the paragon of morality. There is a reason currency is necessary The whole mess comes simply comes down to the fact people are either givers or takers. If everyone was a giver, it would be great, but all it takes is one if not a few takers to ruin any "all givers system." The simply reality is that there exists horrible people and they prevent many great things, *tear.* Oh and the little jesus comment, Nice straw man there. In your "jesus cures blindness 4 $" scenario, he gains the end result without performing any work, he can do something with nothing. He didn't need any supplies (Someone has to make stuff). If that was the case for everyone, then yes, we would not need capitalism, but that is not how things work for us mere mortals.
You can say that the greatest minds in the world may not care about money, but so what? That is a stupid and pointless to point out. Yes, there are people that exist that would be doctors and scientists without any incentive. Is that enough people doing for the sake of doing good? Not likely, progress takes lots of work. I just want to reality check you here, most people don't do shit for free, so yes capitalism makes sense, or at least (When accepting the reality of human nature) the fundamentals make the best sense yet of any system.
Screw fantasy land. How do you keep people from taking all the benefits of what your noble researchers have? The recieve something for their work right? I mean they have to eat/sleep/drink to live and hopefully not living under a tree. So what stops a bad person from claiming to do research and just take all the benefits without doing anything? Need someone to keep check on them huh? Well, they need the same essentials at least, but wait how do you keep the slacker from taking that position? Oh crap.. I think this is showing signs of something....
Really though, your making a fundamental error by comparing unrelated things. Currency is imaginary, Life is not. Currency truly is only a made up marker for ever changing unit of work. The actual worth or value of anything, is based on the individual person. Is it worth pulling a weed for someone for a dollar? 1,000 weeds?[Don't be silly and say that research isn't work] People decide on the value of work to them and use currency as a place holder for trade of units of work. What your likely truly annoyed with is that it is not right that people take advantage of the fact that people highly value things they need to live, so wretched people will charge far more than the amount of work invested to create the items/service because the person has little choice and call it "Just Doing Business". Whysobluepandabear sounds exactly like those kids that used to be all "Anarchy! Screw the system!" It's a huge waste of time to point out that something isn't perfect. Nothing is perfect, everyone gets that, but if you don't have any better ideas (based in reality) and you're not trying to improve anything (ditto comment) you're wasting your time picking at something like social systems. Of course I guess you're feeling warm and fuzzy up there so it wasn't a complete waste right?

Brainerd woman turns 106
