Ripoff Report

David Leyva of AAA Fast Freight, Logistics Dispatch, Lazaro Estrada, Alberto Gonzalez, Rodolfo Ortega, and Pedro Fraud in Fort Myers Florida Lehigh Acres Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Watch out for this scam going on out of Florida. Doesn't seem like the Attorney General's office or the local law enforcement agencies (Lee County Sheriff or Ft Myers Police) want to do anything about it.
I hope that all of you do get your cars back. I had mine taken as well from this scheme, but managed to get mine back last week.
It was at the address mentioned in the post from 5 Sep (Logistics Dispatch at 4130 Wausau Road, Fort Myers FL 33916). There is a Lee County Sheriff Office report from September 2011 regarding stolen vehicle tags at that address.
Before it got there though, it was at the kept at two other people's houses in the area.
First it was at the "owner" of AAA Fast Freight, Mr David Leyva at 3310 9th Street West, Lehigh Acres, FL 33971. His phone # was (239) 895-8060 but I doubt he will answer if you are calling about a missing vehicle. He also may have a house at 3209 21st Street West, Lehigh Acres, FL 33971.
Second, my vehicle was at the house of Lazaro Estrada at 329 Lubdel Avenue South, Lehigh Acres, FL 33974. His phone # was (239) 222-5323 but he wouldn't answer either.
Whoever was driving my vehicle on the day it was removed from the transport truck also stopped briefly at 111 Alabama Road South, Lehigh Acres, FL 33936 (home of Mr Alberto Gonzalez) and 900 Gerald Avenue, Lehigh Acres, FL 33936 (home of Rodolfo Ortega). My guess is that these two work with Mr Leyva and Mr Estrada.
Their scheme seems to be that Mr David Leyva makes very inexpensive bids on transportation contracts and then requests cash payments when he picks up the vehicle. He takes the vehicle back to the Lehigh Acres / Fort Myers area and it is eventually moved to the Logistics Dispatch storage area where a mysterious "Pedro" has sub-rented out the back lot (Pedro doesn't answer the phone and Logistics Dispatch can't provide an address for him). Logistics Dispatch will then ask the owner of the vehicle to pay $300-$500 dollars to cover the storage costs that "Pedro" owes them.

Todd Hallett, AIA, President of TK Design & Associates, Inc. (tkhomedesign.com) has been designing award winning homes for over 20 years. He spent 15 of those years working for a $50 million production building company. Todd designed all of their homes but also worked in every other aspect of the company including purchasing, development, land acquisition, product development, and operations, and was President of the company for three years.
Check yourself before you wreck yourself. This delightful saying comes from a rap song by Ice Cube. Mr. Cube's message urges us all to make use of a verification system (the balance of his message is not quite suitable for this blog). A simple method of ensuring your design specifications are consistent from home to home is to use a checklist.
Have you ever heard a framer say, "I just make it look like the picture"? I have — far too often. They are referring to a lack of elevation detail on the construction drawings. For some reason this is relatively common.
Many drawings I have reviewed show that there was a good deal of effort expended making sure the floor plans are dimensioned and detailed accurately. The elevation drawings, however, not so much. What's up with that? A little elevation humor: up, elevate… get it? Don't fret, I'm not quitting my day job anytime soon.
As I sit on a plane bound for Fresno I am procrastinating. I know I have to put together this week's blog but there are a few things to handle first. I need to thoroughly read my Newspaper (front to back even the boring stuff). Of course I cannot get started until the snack portion of the trip is over. I must garner some energy from Delta 's bizarre oblong ginger cookie thing. Most sinful of all? A quick game of computer solitaire before I begin. We all do it from time to time right?
Growing up near Detroit, I know that old plans are like old cars —sooner or later they start costing you more money than they are worth. It is tempting to hold onto a previous best seller and keep it in the system for no other reason than that you have the bugs worked out. The contracts are set, the variances are low, and the trades know what to do.
Headers, headers everywhere! Nearly every builder I have ever worked with (regardless of geography) initially had far too many headers and/or headers that were way oversized in their homes.
Code requirements are typically 250 percent over failure, so designing above code is typically a waste. An exception is that there are pocket markets where customers require joist design a bit above code to avoid perceived floor deflection or bounce.
It's easy to do a quick check.
Do a field walk during framing:
Lots of matrimony talk lately. From the saccharin sweet royal wedding to the much publicized split between J'Lo and Marc Anthony - some marriages are meant to last while others fade away. The marriage that I am most excited about (save for my own naturally) is the one between Lean design and curb appeal. These two young lovebirds are guaranteed to make it for the long haul.
Plans, plans, plans, it's sometimes difficult to know what they should include and what they shouldn't. After spending the last two years with Scott Sedam and TrueNorth working with builders, suppliers, and trades all over the country we have developed a number of plan dos and don'ts regardless of geography, here are just a few:
Monday morning 6:30 a.m. Jeff the lead carpenter rolls out the latest set of prints for the new Thornberry model. He sighs as he scans the plans and elevations knowing it is going to be a long week piecing together his latest framing puzzle. He has worked for this builder for 3 years so he recognizes what he calls the Architects "greatest hits", overly complex dormers, overhangs, and gingerbread details. He knows he will be framing this home at a loss in hopes that the next time he frames it he will realize a profit.
The concept of lean architectural design is often misunderstood. Elimination of design- induced waste in both product and process is the overriding goal of Lean Design. The builders who "get it" know that they must eradicate waste from their plans in order to not be merely competitive, but to survive in today's economy. Our experience demonstrates that up to 60% of construction waste originates through poor or misdirected planning efforts. This blog post is the first in a series which will outline the key principles of lean design.

Target Master 350
Hey Guys,
I am wondering if the Target Master 350's are decent motors. I am buying a 1979 3/4 ton Chev 4X4 to use as a plow truck and it has the 350 Target Master under the hood. I have heard that these motors have 4 bolt mains, high nickel content blocks and two piece rear seals, is there anything else different about these motors than a normal 350? What kind of HP would this rig have and how is it easily improved? Headers must help quite a bit, and cams and domes right? I dont need a high HP motor for this application, im just wonderin' if its a decent motor. Thanks for any input you might have!
most of what you heard of them is true, only there made in Mexico, and made poorly at that, most avoid them because there known to be crack prone. However, they are decent engines, and you can add a small RV cam and aftermarket dual plane intake, and a set of headers and low restriction dual exhaust, it`ll really kick up the low end torque, which is what your application needs.
Well i dont like the sound of the mill being crack prone...shouldn't the higher nickel content make the block stronger?
I don't know what double vision is talking about god alot of wives tails get passed along here. Target master 350 are indead made in mexica but the casting are no more crack prone than any 350 block and much better than all except for the early ones which might be equal there is a little more casting flash on them but besides that they have very very good quality and make very reliable engines.
I can see the previous poster has not had a lot of experience with Targetmaster motors, the quality of the mexican blocks is terrible, the machine work is just bad, the castings have production problems, porosity, dirt, inclusions. We have had to return several.
I have one and everything is machined to spec. There sure seems to be alot of mixed opinions about targetmaster engines, but, they all always seem to be just rumors...
Read that article, it will give you an idea of what type of power you can pump out of the engine.
acually I have had lots of experiance with target master engines it is true there is more casting flash but in their defence they have been some of the most reliable engines we have installed
I consider a "wives tale" to be auto tranny fluid with gasoline will make it get better mileage. my information came from personal experience as well as Hot Rod, and popular Hot Rodding magazine. while it is true some have good experiences with these engines, it`s also true that some do not, and in my case the bad have out numbered the good. but as on all small blocks I get, I say the same thing, run`em, and whatever happens happens, if it`s gonna crack, it`s gonna, I got 3 cracked in the bore laying behind the shop.
I appoligize for being agressive there and I"m sure you do have a point but I guess its like everything there are some good some bad I guess it comes down to weather you trust an engine builder to do a better job than the target master would be.
You have to pour in a little Tequilla. That's the problem with the blocks cracking. They dry out....
Well i got the truck tonight and the 350 works like a top, and has quite respectable power, sounds like it has some what of a cam. Sorry for starting all the controversy. I'll run er' till' she blows!
I've had a few. Out of the three I had the pistons looked horrible. No failure in the pistons. They were just poor looking! Only problem was the valve guides going after 30,000 miles!
I am turning one into a 383. The block has good bores, clean casting and very little core shift!
When I was a kid (17) I worked at a auto machine shop, I was the grunt that tore down the engines to be rebuilt.
I saw a lot of Target master engines, Most had the problems everyone is talking about, But that was before the crate motors were so popular. Now I think they tend to have better quality due to the popularity of crate engines.
GM is really pushing their engines and I don't think they would want anything out there but a quality product.
just my 2 cents!!!
ramjet, heres the camshaft info if you wanted to know (that is if its the stock one, and if its the 'lowend' 290hp tm350);
Lift (I/E): 0.390 / 0.410 Hydraulic
Dur. @ 0.050" (I/E): 195° / 202°
Target master???Is that the same as the stock replacement goodwrench motor??If so I thought the goodwrench motor was just a factory replacement for most stock 80-85 low compression 350s???

ALBANY -- In observance and recognition of National Crime Victims' Rights Week this week, The Sage Colleges is offering a few events to bring awareness to this and other issues, to promote victims' rights and to honor victims of crimes and those who advocate for them, officials with the college said Monday.
Noting a statistic that one in four girls have been or will be sexually abused and that the National Center for Victims of Crime said most are abused by someone they know and trust, the college announced three events this week.
Parallel Justice with Susan Herman was Monday at the Kahl Campus Center. Herman, former executive director of the National Center for Victims of Crime and author of Parallel Justice for Victims of Crime, spoke about crime and justice from a victim's perspective.
Tonight is Beyond the Secret: Personal and Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse at the Albany campus' gymnasium at 140 New Scotland Ave. The free event includes a screening of the "Child Sexual Predators: The Familiar Stranger."
New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services released the new video to help parents protect their children from sexual predators. It includes interviews with four convicted child molesters who candidly reveal how they operate, three victims who discuss what they wish their parents had known, a psychologist and an FBI agent who demonstrates what can happen when a teenage girl enters an online chatroom. The video contains mature content.
Following the screening there will be panel discussion, moderated by Danielle Sanzone, The Record. Panelists include: Michael Fonda, prevention educator, Sexual Assault and Crime Victims Program of Northeast Health; Lisa Smith, director, Sexual Assault & Crime Victims Assistance Program at Northeast Health; Sharon Cretti, RN, sexual assault nurse examiner-A (SANE-A), NYSAFE.
It is free and open to the public.
Another event is slated for 11 a.m. Wednesday called Teen Dating Violence Awareness: An Open Forum on the fourth floor of the Cowee Hall in Troy
This informational forum on teen dating violence will offer an overview of services available to victims of dating violence through Family Court and from Unity House Domestic Violence Services. Warning signs of dating violence may include: emotional, physical or sexual abuse, restriction of freedom, isolation from family and friends, limiting independence with rules and directions, threats, and harassment. The presentation is made available by the staff of the Law Project of Unity House Domestic Violence Services. The Law Project provides free legal consultation and representation to all victims of domestic violence, officials said.

Chance The Rapper & Vic Mensa Guest on Mick Jenkins' 'Crossroads'
After Chief Keef went global with Chicago's booming drill rap sub-genre last year, the likes of Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa are introducing the world to a less-threatening, yet equally exciting, side of the Windy City's hip-hop scene.
The Save Money pair are obviously the main draw on fellow Chi-Town upstart Mick Jenkins' new 'Crossroads' single. Each MC coasts over the smooth, sorrowing OnGaud production, but it's Chance who delivers the highlight moment with a goo-goo ga-ga verse that's pretty ridiculous, even by his own standards:
"Lotta leprechauns done lied about their pot of gold/ I'm 'bout my green like an avocado guacamole."
While we await more from Mick, check out his 'Trees and Truths' mixtape over on DatPiff.

Six Beijing Olympians were today named in a young New Zealand women's basketball training squad.
Suzie Bates, Jillian Harmon, Kate McMeeken-Ruscoe, Angela Marino, Natalie Purcell and Lisa Wallbutton have been included in first-year coach Shawn Dennis' squad of 16 to prepare for the Oceania championship later this month.
The Tall Ferns squad, with an average age of 21, will assemble on August 23 for a week-long camp in Napier, before taking on the defending world champion Australia Opals in two games.
"The great thing about this team is its youth," Dennis said.
"You look at these Olympians and most of them are only 21, 22, 23, so they're just coming into their prime.
"Angela Marino has played at two Olympics and someone like Jillian Harmon has just come off a very successful college career, playing at a high level in the Pac-10 conference."
Unavailable due to retirement, injury or personal reasons were six Beijing Olympians, headed by captain Aneka Kerr.
Noni Wharemate, Charmian Purcell, Jess McCormack, Micaela Cocks and Clare Bodensteiner are also unavailable.
"I think, particularly with the retirement of Aneka Kerr, and Charmian Purcell and Noni Wharemate not being available either, it takes away a lot of experience," Dennis said.
"It's a new era dawning on the Tall Ferns. We really have to start looking forward to London 2012 now. It's going to be a young team and it's going to be enthusiastic.
"After the Olympics last year there was a bit of a downer, so this is a chance to freshen up and look forward."
Harmon graduated from Stanford University this year, where she averaged 9.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists as the Cardinals reached the Final Four of the NCAA women's tournament for a second straight season.
Marino, Purcell and McMeeken-Ruscoe all competed in the Australia Women's National Basketball League last summer, while Wallbutton played in Belgium and more recently with Albury Wodonga in the South East Australia Basketball League.
Bates has recently returned to basketball, turning out for the Otago Gold Rush in the Women' Basketball Championship (WBC), after playing in the New Zealand women's cricket team at the ICC one-day and Twenty20 world cups.
Tall Ferns
Kim Barnes (UC-Irvine), Suzie Bates (Otago), Pip Connell (Harbour), Toni Edmondson (Albury Wodonga), Samara Gallaher (Otago), Natasha Hall (Harbour), Jillian Harmon (Stanford University), Zoe Kensington (Taranaki), Angela Marino (Adelaide Lightning), Kate McMeeken-Ruscoe (Townsville Fire), Natalie Moore (Taranaki), Natalie Purcell (Logan Thunder), Georgina Richards (Canterbury), Erin Rooney (Canterbury), Chelsea Terei (Harbour), Lisa Wallbutton (Albury Wodonga).

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Beer Talk' started by maximumu13, Nov 19, 2012.
Southern Tier Choklat $7.99 per bomber at Wegman's.
Ontario the same... sigh.
$19.99/4 pack BCBS. Not an amazing deal, but still the best price I've heard of.
Around here we can get Victory Helios bombers for $3.79. One of the cheapest bombers in the state of PA.
Last year I found a place selling FSW anniversary (15 I think) for the same $11.99 they were selling the regular released for. Between a friend and myself we cleaned them out.
Year in and tear out thought, I think the Trader Joe's / Unibrau Vintage ale is one of the best deals going. $6 for a 750 c&c of (usually) damn good beer... I grabbed 6 origianally and I'm going to be there tonight. I'll grab a coupe more if it's still there.
Ripoff, ripoff, ripoff...those are all amazingly inflated!!
MentorBeerGuy (ie my brother) just bought 6-7 Scaldis Noel (usually ~5 bucks/11.2ox btl) and two bottles of Storm and Avery (usually 15ish/btl) from a restaurant GM that gives him access to their beer cellar...total price...34 bucks
You don't want to know what I paid for Bolt Cutter...in case you do it was $34.
$18.99 Omaha, NE Limit 1 4/pk
Harpoon Leviathan Imperial Red 4pack for $3.99!
Best: Founders Bolt Cutter, yesterday $19.99 a bottle. Significantly cheaper then the taproom at $26. I also found CBS in a random/crappy college liquor store in Dec. of last year for $22. Not a steal but finding it that late was crazy.
Worst: KBS, late in the season (July), at $9.99 a bottle.
I just got a marked down case of Black Butte the other day at Safeway for $11.99. Pretty awesome.
I picked up a few bottles of Harpoon's 100 Barrel Series #44 El Triunfo Coffee Porter at the brewery for only $6.99 a bottle. Can't beat that price for a bomber of this quality.
A buddy of mine was at the Air Force base in Tampa and got 5 bottles of 2011 DFH 120 for just under $3 each. Now that was a deal.
Just paid $6.99/ bottle for Brux
got the same deal here in FL. also just got bomber of little sumpin wild tonight for 4.99. excited to try it
here in NY, NOTHING is ever "underpriced"! The best deals the stores ever offer on sale is always just the regular price that most of the country pays. A steal deal for me is full retail price for people in south and midwest.
$4.99 a 4 pack Bourbon county. Not bad....
Paid $13.99 per bottle for Bourbon County Coffee in NYC this week. Grabbed 3 of the 4 they had left.
The other day I snagged 5 Firestone Walker 16th's for $11.99 each
Sale shelf at a corner liquor store over the weekend:
$2 - Two Brothers Red Eye Coffee Porters - I bought 3
$4 - Clown Shoes Eagle Claw Fist, Laughing Dog Alpha Dog DIPA, and GI Pere Jacques
Edit: All were 22oz format
When I go back to Michigan there is a small bottle shop that also has Expedition for $9.99. In fact most of the stuff they get from Bell's, Founders, Great Lakes is $9.99 - not sure if its a great deal but it makes it easy.
I just picked up a La Trappe gift pack at a random little place. 2012 bottles, two Quads and two Isis D'Ors, plus a chalice, for $8.99. Our COST on the pack is $16.80.
Still $35 case, includes Tax, at the brewpub.
For like over a year a store around here had bombers of Yeti mispriced at $2.99, man that was nice, but it really makes buying anything else a little more difficult.
$10.99 for a Unibroue gift set with a bomber and etched glass at whole foods, they had Maudite, La Fin Du Monde, and another beer, don't remember which one though
Have a local place that does fire sales and have gotten many incredible bargains, such as Ommegang gift sets, nine bombers and 3 glass3s (want some) for $13.
4.99 12 packs of Paulaner Oktoberfest. Not expired but a distributor got bought out so they are clearing tons of stock. Needless to say It is Oktoberfest in my house!
6 bottles and 2 glasses for $85 what a steal
Tonight, Wachusett Green Monsta IPA, 6.99 for a 12pack of cans, how can you pass that up? Bit old, bb 12/20/12 but still a great deal.
If you have a sweet hook up cases of short fills for half price are always a great deal. Thank you Lakefront!
Local liquor store has Bell's Expedition Stout and Third Coast Ale in their mix 6 section which cost $10.99 per 6 pack, they carry six packs of those beers for $16.99, so VIOLA! six dollar savings! I wonder if they will ever catch on...I hope they don't come here.
i got ballast point sea monster stout $3.99 (normal 8.99) a bomber
also got Cuvee de jacobins 2.99 bottle
and epic brainless on peaches $3.99 (normal 10.99) bomber what a steal
these were great beers at excellent deal wish they had more quantity
I would have bought it ALL.
4pk Backwoods Bastard $12.49. Haven't seen it under $15.99.
I got a 4pk of Narwhal for $8.99 and a Bolt Cutter for $16.99 today.
bought 4 bottles of BCBCS for 18.99, hit another store on the way home got another 4 for 10.99, my luck the store i first bought at doesn't return alcohol under any conditions...
Just had the same thing......then filled my growler for $22
Got Southern Tier oak aged backburner for $4 a bomber at the brewery.

We're all about sneaker science here at SF, so these Nike Air Max 1 Premium Geometric joints do more than just tickle our fancy, they've got us whipping out the magnifying glass to check the intricacy. A premium suede upper comes fragmented by a sticky shattered glass pattern overlay and save for a couple of sneaky grey hits, it's a completely black and white situation. If Melbourne's Federation Square were a man, these would be his kicks. Stay tuned for upcoming release details and peep more unseen heat in Sneaker Freaker issue 29.

There were workarounds with a 32bit layer and such, but that went against my intention to use 64bit in the first place. I was happy to have something like swdec or gnas, (limited as they were)

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Interlochen Center for the Arts
Interlochen, MI
«archive page
1. Grandeur
TR: Welcome to Interlochen Center for the Arts, in northwestern Michigan, summer home to 2,500 arts students including several who may become wealthy, and for years be getting letters from the Alumni office containing little envelopes, how happy they were here, on the shores of Green Lake, enjoying intellectual stimulation and truly excellent pizzas.
2. Hurry
TR: Six-thirty and students bound out of bed at reveille and put on clean blue shirts and dark shorts and red socks for a day of rehearsal and lessons. But first beds are neatly made, journals are hidden, and rooms are made shipshape. Time for breakfast, a tofu scramble with a side of quinoa [keen-wah].
3. Wide open spaces
TR: Summer afternoon at Interlochen; time to write letters home sharing with your parents the delights of the artistic life, even though you're fifteen hundred into your overdraft protection, but it's no problem, because you can get work dacing at the Wriggly Pig this summer. They will send a check by Friday.
4. Tango
TR: Night falls on the woods as students board the big green buses for a taste of high culture in Traverse City. Townspeople watch the students closely, knowing that Interlochen students represent the cutting edge of contemporary youth. That is why their clothing, their speech, their dance moves, their hairstyles, are widely imitated as far away as Saginaw and Kalamazoo.
5. Sum
TR: It's time to say farewell to Interlochen, a beacon of hope where students strive for world peace through the Universal Language of the Arts, and have a whee of a time doing it. We'll take warm memories of the camp and its rustic cabins, each housing up to 15 artists, many of whom will live as lonely hermits in the years to come. But if you need a friend, you'll find one......at the Alumni Office. Keep in touch.

Sociology is the study of societies in relation to history, culture and place, including the interaction between individuals and groups, as well as the norms, laws and social institutions that constitute a society. Sociology is centrally concerned with social change. Applied sociology describes the use of sociological theories and methods beyond academia, for specific client groups and audiences. Applied sociology is used in the active transformation of social life, by addressing 'real world' research questions, and by helping different public audiences to consider and adopt a sociological imagination.
The Sociology at Work website supports the application of sociological knowledge beyond university settings. We mean this literally – how do people use sociology in their jobs? To put it another way: how we 'do' sociology in the workplace? At the same time, we are also interested in the ways in which sociology might be used to work towards the positive transformation of society.
- Enhance awareness of applied sociology and to advance understanding and esteem of our discipline to wider audiences across the world;
- Support the careers of sociology graduates at various levels (undergraduate and postgraduate), and to ensure that students better appreciate the various work opportunities available to them;
- Foster links to industry, non-government organisations, government agencies, and other professional groups in support of sociology as a vocation.

Inside the Information Society: Enhanced cooperation for enhanced cooperation?
*_David Souter comments each week on an important issue for APC members and others concerned about the Information Society.
Baku in APC's rear-view mirror
The Internet Governance Forum in Baku (6-9 November 2012) was a space in which different interests collided. APC revisits the event by releasing "IGF 2012: The good, the bad and the ugly." Here is a snapshot.
Enhanced Cooperation at the WSIS+10 review event
At the first WSIS+10 review event in Paris, France from February 25 – 27, 2013, APC is organising an event on Enhanced Cooperation as a follow-up to its pre-event at the 2012 IGF "Enhanced Cooperation: from deadlock to dialogue" and will use the opportunity of the WSIS+10 review to bring together experts in a follow-up workshop, "Reflections on what needs to be done."
Multistakeholderism and Enhanced Cooperation: What's it all about?
Multistakeholder participation and enhanced cooperation seems to be one of the major issue in this year's Internet Governance Forum (IGF).

The Texas Transportation Commission established the Commission for High-Speed Rail in the DFW Region to advise on the proposed Dallas-Fort Worth Core Express Service. The Commission for High-Speed Rail in the DFW Region advises on the proposed development of intercity rail corridors, new transportation policies, and funding and procurement strategies related to the implementation of potential high-speed rail in the Metroplex.
TxDOT is developing an environmental study and working with Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), private interests and other stakeholders to examine the feasibility of a faster, limited-stop passenger rail service that could connect possible future high-speed rail lines currently being planned in Dallas and Fort Worth. The study will consider possible rail alignments, train types and speeds. Although there has been regional discussion about station concepts serving downtown Dallas, Arlington and downtown Fort Worth, specific station locations have not been determined.
In addition, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), the metropolitan planning organization for the Dallas-Fort Worth Region, has included high-speed or express passenger rail corridors in its long-range regional transportation plan (Mobility 2035 – 2014 Update).
This project, as well as the Dallas-Houston High-Speed Rail Project, Lone Star Regional Rail Project and the Texas-Oklahoma Passenger Rail Study, presents an innovative opportunity for the state given continued population growth and the increasing congestion on highways and at major airports – as part of an interconnected and multimodal transportation system vision.
Current Status
TxDOT and FRA hosted a public open house on June 30, 2015. The meeting focused on potential track location in or near Fort Worth, Haltom City, Richland Hills, Euless, Irving, Arlington, Grand Prairie and Dallas. The project team shared feedback from citizens from the public scoping meetings late last year.
FRA initiated the process of evaluating the possibility for a high-speed or express passenger rail line between Fort Worth and Dallas by publishing a notice of intent (NOI) to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for such a line. This marks the beginning of the process that will study the feasibility and impacts, and gather public input of the proposed high-speed or express passenger rail line.
Funding for the Dallas-Fort Worth Core Express environmental study comes from the April 2011 U.S. High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) program grant; it is important to note that there is no funding for construction at this time.
Get Involved
TxDOT, FRA and NCTCOG are committed to ongoing public outreach throughout this project. The first series of public meetings were scoping meetings, which drew more than 300 attendees in Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington during November 2014. The scoping meeting comment period ended on Dec. 15, 2014.

Pictures of bus passengers covered in manure have gone viral on the Internet after a public bus crashed into a truck carrying sewage in China.
The photos were posted online by Weibo user CHH, who managed to snap some images of the unfortunate and smelly passengers on 2nd January.
It was said that the bus had rammed into the back of the truck, causing the latter's tank to burst. The waste then poured into the bus from the broken windscreen and spilled onto the eight passengers. The truck driver sped off.

If you've been waiting for an easy way to test HPCC, the alternative to Apache Hadoop built and open sourced by LexisNexis Risk Solutions, then you're in luck. Starting today HPCC Thor clusters will be available on Amazon Web Services. At the moment this is just a beta and it's offering by HPCC, not as an official AWS service. There are some limitations, but it's suitable for giving HPCC a test drive. You can find the documentation here.
"AWS is not the best environment for a cluster like this, but it works," says HPCC CTO Armando Escalante. "AWS is made for clusters of about two or three servers," Escalante says. "Dealing with a 100+ node cluster would be a nightmare."
HPCC has developed its own tools for managing clusters, but for now AWS users will be limited to 20 nodes.
Escalante says more features are coming in the future, including a one button deployment option. Another limitation is that HPCC's querying system/data warehouse Roxie isn't available on AWS. Escalante describes Roxie as one HPCC's core differentiators. But Roxy requires additional infrastructure, such as a load balancer, to be present. Escalante says he's working with AWS on this, and since AWS already supports similar infrastructure for its hosted Oracle services, it should be feasible.
Escalante says that eventually Amazon will include it as part of the Elastic MapReduce service, which currently lets users spin-up Hadoop clusters on AWS infrastructure. Escalante emphasizes that this will be a bit of a misnomer, since HPCC doesn't sue MapReduce, but says that Amazon is planning on changing the name next year anyway. AWS is developing some sort of hosted data stream processing tool, possibly to be based on Hadoop, so it's possible that service will be included in this newly renamed Elastic MapReduce stable as well.
HPCC is currently the main apples-to-apples alternative to Hadoop. Microsoft decided to sunset LINQ to HPC ( (formerly called Dryad) in favor of using Hadoop with its partner HortonWorks. That decision doesn't bode well for the Microsoft Labs project Daytona. The University of California Berkley has its Spark project, but it doesn't seem to have any enterprise traction yet (though it is used in production at Conviva). There are some indirect competitors, such as data warehousing solutions, complex events processing solutions and Storm, but otherwise Hadoop and HPCC stand alone at the moment.

A frightening chart currently showing up on some financial websites and publications compares the Dow Jones industrial average in the 1920s to the current Dow. The implication is clear: A 1929-style crash is around the corner.
Beware. The chart is deceptive.
Based on comparisons of the Dow over a two-year period, some market observers argue the current Dow seems to be mimicking every twist, turn and hiccup of the 85-year-old pattern.
But the price scale of the current chart has been magnified. When the two charts are put in the proper perspective with comparable percentage changes, the eerie comparison fades away.
Now consider the Dow for an even longer period of time, from 1924-29 and 2008-2014. This comparison includes an even greater ascent in both eras. Yet as IBD's indexed chart shows, the Dow made a much bigger climb during the "Roaring 20s."
This is why it's important to not get sucked into media hype. Read The Big Picture column and focus on the day-to-day action of the market and leading stocks to know what the forward-moving trend will truly be.
A similar chart made the rounds in the aftermath of the 1987 crash. It showed the run-ups in 1929 and 1987, the crashes and the weak recoveries in both, then the horrible slide to a 1932 low. The implication was that 1988 and 1989 would be like 1930-32. Instead, stocks worked their way higher in 1988, setting the stage for a fine rally in 1989.
History repeats itself, and comparisons with similar epochs can be useful. Take the 1920s and 1930s Dow compared to the 1990s and 2000s Nasdaq. The comparison is close. The two periods have important parallels. In the 1920s, American life was being remade with the proliferation of electrified homes, automobiles, motion pictures, radios and phonographs.
The 1920s Dow was made up of the innovative companies that were leading the way, such as General Motors (GM), RCA and General Electric (GE).
It was the same in the 1990s and 2000s. The rise of personal computers, the Internet and smartphones transformed lives.
Today, the market is in a confirmed uptrend. It's very possible a correction could occur in the intermediate future. There's considerable optimism among investors, which is a contrarian indicator. The Nasdaq hasn't had a 20% correction since 2011. But the current Dow doesn't resemble 1929.

After the Blue team defeated the gold team 34-27 in Kent State's kick scrimmage Saturday morning at Dix Stadium, the players were pleasantly surprised to learn they were getting their 2012 championship rings from winning the Mid-American Conference East Division title last season.
"It's something new for me," said KSU defensive lineman Roosevelt Nix. "My high school team wasn't very good, so this is the first piece of hardware I've ever received. I probably will never wear it. I'll put it away someplace safe. It means a lot to me."
Seated in the team meeting room at Dix Stadium, each player was called up one by one to accept their ring from new coach Paul Haynes.
"Congratulations, but he humble about it," Haynes said after every player had in hand a small white box with the ring nestled inside. "Now, let's do it again!"
That wasn't just lip service from Haynes, who has his championship rings on display in his office.
"I have like, 12 or 13 of them," he said. "I've been blessed. The ones that are most special are my high school rings. My high school basketball ring is in there, but I'm missing my high school football ring. I was fortunate to win state in both basketball and football."
Haynes said he's pretty sure his prep football ring is somewhere at his mother's home.
"When I was over her house one time I was looking in this little pot of coins she has," Haynes said. "I was looking in there and it was in there. So every time I go home, I look at them."
After his high school rings, the first ring Haynes won while serving as an assistant coach at Ohio State has special meaning to him.
"That was the first BCS game that we were in," he said. "It was special."
HARD WORK PAYS OFF – There was a touching moment just before the rings were passed out when Haynes singled out former walk-on defensive end Anthony Christopher. As he asked the senior from Chardon to meet him at the podium, Haynes announced to the team that Christopher had earned a scholarship.
The result was a few tears in Christopher's eyes and a thundering round of applause from his teammates.
"I've only been around him a short period of time and it's amazing, because I already thought he was on scholarship," Haynes said. "I had no idea that he wasn't and was surprised. But you can by the reaction and applause from the team that he deserved it. They have a ton of respect for him."
Haynes said that before former coach Darrell Hazell left for Purdue, something was in the works to put Christopher on scholarship. But when he left, five or six of his teammates went to defensive coordinator Brian George (who stayed on with Haynes staff) to talk with him about ensuring Christopher still got the scholarship offer.
"That shows you the tremendous respect (Christopher) has from this team," Haynes said. "He's played for us and been on every special unit, which to me, is more important than a guy who just plays on offense or defense. He's been here so long as a walk on, he gives so much effort and puts his heart into every day that it's well earned."
The amount of love Christopher received from his teammates took Haynes by surprise.
"I didn't expect that," he said. "In talking with coach George, I knew a lot of guys wanted it, but sometimes you just get that from your side of the ball, the D-line. But it was guys from the whole team, which was awesome.
"To me, it's exactly what your walk-on program is about. You have guys like (Christopher) who come in, work hard and are dedicated and you can reward them their last year before they get out of here."
GETTING BETTER – Haynes said he's especially liked what he's seen from his new players, especially over their last two practices.
"They've been the best two practices of the spring," he said. "Their energy level has been great. It's been cold and rainy the other day, but we didn't let it bother us. The intensity was awesome, it exactly what you want to see."

I used flannel around the t-shirt blocks and ended up using the same flannel for the backing with Quilter's Dream cotton batting. I asked my grandson if he would like a fleece backing but he thought it might be too warm. I would have used the cotton batting even if I would have done the fleece, just for stabilizing, I guess. Good luck with your quilt.

LG Electronics pursues its 21st century vision of becoming a true global digital leader who can make its customers worldwide happy through its innovative digital products and services. LG Electronics set its mid- and long-term vision anew to rank among the top 3 electronics, information, and telecommunication firms in the world by 2010. As such, they embrace the philosophy of "Great Company, Great People," whereby only great people can create a great company, and pursue two growth strategies involving "fast innovation" and "fast growth." Likewise, they seek to secure three core capabilities: product leadership, market leadership, and people-centered leadership.
The LG HVAC Advantage
LG HVAC systems offer a range of solutions that are cost efficient, quiet and attractive. They provide a smart alternative to both central HVAC and window-mounted air conditioners, and are available in a variety of configurations to suit different cooling and heating situations.
Split Systems
These innovative systems are "split" into indoor and outdoor units. The interior units are available in several different units. The interior units are available in several different configurations: Art Cool, standard wall-mounted, Floor Standing and ceiling cassettes. All interior units have remote controls for easy use. Installation by a qualified HVAC contractor is safe and easy - no duct work or sheet metal is needed. Single, dual and tri-zone systems, as well as cooling only and heat pump models, are available.
Duct-Free Floor Standing and Ceiling Cassette Air Conditioning Systems
High-Capacity Split Systems
The Floor Standing and Ceiling Cassette models are ideal for light commercial applications and work well in large, open spaces. The ceiling cassette is a useful alternative when floor space is limited. The outdoor unit for both models operate on high-voltage (230/208) power.
Warranty Info
Luxuries Of A Mini-Split (Ductless Split System)
Ductless Split Air Conditioner and Heat Pump products offer wide versatility in solving your cooling and heating requirements. The Indoor unit (evaporator) is mounted inside the room, and usually goes very unnoticeable. It is connected to the outdoor unit (condenser) via refrigerant lines and inter-unit wiring through a 3-1/2" opening in the wall. Since no ductwork is required, installation is simple, fast and efficient. There is no need to use up window space or cut large openings in existing walls, which could undermine the integrity of your structure, and even pose security risks. Since the Rotary compressor is located in the outdoor unit, compressor operating noise is virtually eliminated from the indoor. The indoor unit has been uniquely designed to provide Whisper Quiet operation while delivering comfort throughout the room(s). In addition, rotary compressors provide efficient, powerful cooling at the lowest noise levels in the industry.

What does a guy need to do to get a golf ball hit into orbit, anyway?
Tomorrow, Russian and American astronauts on the International Space Station will conduct a five-plus-hour spacewalk.
And at no point during their time in space will any of them golf.
Now, if you're anything like me, there are only two things in life: One: wacky, possibly cataclysmic outer-space golf promotions, and Two: everything else.
This is why I personally feel betrayed by the Element 21 Golf Company – they said they'd deliver a Russian astronaut bashing a golf ball into orbit around the planet. They got tons of publicity for this idea, and now, they didn't deliver.
And don't give me this guff about reports not being done and safety being an issue. No one would come up with a stunt like this if they cared one bit about safety. In fact, that was the whole draw of it. You could just see the headlines:
"Out-of-orbit golf ball takes out International Space Station! All will perish!"
But now, no such luck. I mean, couldn't Element 21 reach a little deeper and pay off the Russians a little more? They're Russians, for God's sake. Payola was the first thing they relearned when capitalism showed back up over there.
Sadly, being a Canadian company, Element 21 just doesn't have the gumption to break every rule in the book in order to succeed. And we're all the lesser for it.
The stunt may take place next year, but now, who knows. I feel like they're stringing me along. I remember writing about this before, along with every other media outlet known to man. We were all so young and naive, excited about a brave new world that would include a golf ball orbiting it.
We want our hope back, Element 21. We want the opportunity to be part of the generation that took a golf ball and obliterated a working space station with it. And right now, that opportunity is gone, and it's a colder, meaner world as a result.

Hi all, new to the forum although used it to help decide on my recent purchase
I've just bought a 2007 E91 335d and am massively pleased! Traded in an E39 Tourer which was only a 520i so there is a huge difference in performance. Can't help but use the loud peddle everywhere I can at the moment. It's not helping economy though with low 30s including 320 miles of motorway.
Just awaiting some dates from E-Maps now for a remap, seems to be a no brainer - more power, masses of torque and a (possible?) improvement in economy. Good times!

Chris Young Honored at YoungArts Celebration
Chris Young traveled to Miami over the weekend to receive an honor from a very special group of young people.
Chris Young traveled to Miami over the weekend to receive an honor from a very special group of young people.
The fans have spoken and requested Chris Young be the subject of the first 'You Think You Know Country?' episode of 2015.
A few weeks ago, I participated for the first time in the weekly social media fad called Woman Crush Wednesday, picking my current favorite hottie of celebrity females. Today, Katie from 98 Country Middays had to help me with the other side of the coin...
Chris Young is packing his bags (and passport!) in preparation to head overseas. The singer has announced his A.M. World Tour, which kicks off in March in Australia.
Chris Young is teaming with Kidde Fire Safety to promote a national fire safety campaign.
Trucks and guitars are typically exchanged after a major country tour wraps up (Miranda Lambert bought Carrie Underwood a motorcycle after she recorded 'Somethin' Bad). But Dierks Bentley takes the prize for most creative, unusual and potentially dangerous thank you gift.
Country's biggest stars have taken the challenge -- the Ice Bucket Challenge! It turns out, dumping a bucket (or many buckets) of freezing cold water on your noggin brings in lots of money for ALS, as millions of dollars have been raised since Blake Shelton and company started taking the plunge.
Chris Young's new song 'Lonely Eyes' is sneaky. At first, his story and familiar shuffle are easy to dismiss as just another fine croon from the 29-year-old. But listen closer.
Strap on your helmets and put on your dancing shoes! Dierks Bentley's ninth annual Miles & Music for Kids is going to be filled with roaring motorcycles and popular country stars like Kip Moore, Chris Young.
Chris Young's kitchen accident turned out to be much more than a simple stitch-and-repair injury. The singer's hand required two surgeries, and he'll be in a cast for a total of six weeks.
Chris Young underwent hand surgery on Friday (June 6) in Nashville.
Chris Young was taken to the hospital after injuring his left hand cooking dinner on Thursday night. The singer has cancelled his planned fan autograph session, scheduled for Friday at the CMA Music Festival.

A University of Arkansas at Little Rock chemistry professor, his post-doctoral student, and colleagues at Stanford University, have developed a technique that could break through bottleneck that so far has stymied the scientific quest to create a new generation of electronic systems on the nano-scale.
Dr. Wei Zhao, professor in UALR's Department of Chemistry in the College of Science and Math, and his graduate student Xiaomin Tu, now a postdoctoral fellow at DuPont Central Research and Development, Wilmington, Del., are co-authors of an article in the Journal of the American Chemistry Society on the ability to achieve near single type purity nanotube production.
The UALR professor said semi-conducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with diameter of about one nanometer have attracted the most attention as a new generation material, a possible replacement for silicon for nanoelectronics. Scientists have been unable produce the kind of uniform type of nanotubes the electronic systems would need. The UALR team found a way.
"Our current work combines selective growth of a few nanotubes with chromatographic separation to achieve near single type purity nanotube production - a big step toward the SWNT applications," Zhao said.
"The semiconductor industry has been improving the performance of electronic systems for more than four decades by making ever-smaller devices down to nanometer scale. However, this approach will soon encounter both scientific and technical limits."
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes have attracted the most attention as a new generation material, a possible replacement for silicon for nanoelectronics. However, the structural heterogeneity with various types of nanotubes of different diameters and chiralities is the bottleneck for SWNT electronic, photonic, and optoelectronic applications where single type nanotube purity is required, Zhou said. His work combines selective growth of few nanotubes with chromatographic separation to achieve near single type purity nanotube production, a big step toward the SWNT applications.
Dr. Michael Gealt, dean of the College of Science and Mathematics at UALR, said the availability of pure single-wall nanotubes will greatly enhance the creation of new products useful for the consumer.
"Dr. Zhao's technique promises to provide industry with a critical starting material for development of manufactured goods with greater electrical efficiency, thereby helping to conserve electricity while making products that work better," Gealt said.

Martin Kay, who lived in Key West for nearly 20 years, died peacefully at home on Saturday, December 21, 2013. He was surrounded by friends and family including husband Jon Allen of Key West and brother Roger Kay of Chelmsford, England. A designer, real estate developer and landscape architect, Martin was a well-known and beloved wit and friend in his adopted hometown.
Martin, 60, was born in London and earned a diploma from the prestigious Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew. Gifted with a love of flowers, people and design, Kay opened Arcadia Flowers in West London.
The successful shop grew into the stylish boutique VASE Flowers in central London. Adding stationery and gift packaging to his sought-after floral arrangements, the company eventually opened five shops in London.
Working with partner Jon Allen, Martin later helped create Jouralle, a fashion footwear brand for women.
Martin developed marketing concepts, branding and designed lines of shoes for the company. Jouralle was sold to British Shoe Corporation, the U. K's largest maker of women's footwear which distributed Martin's designs worldwide.
Plans for a memorial for Martin will be announced in the coming weeks.

Ellen Kay Henderson Rhodes
Ellen Kay Henderson Rhodes passed away peacefully February 27, 2014 in Columbine Valley, Co at the age of 71.
Kay was born March 9, 1942 in Roswell, NM to Loren Edward Henderson and Vera Ellen Henderson. Her parents have preceded her in death.
Kay graduated from Roswell High School in 1960 and attended Texas Tech and UNM where she received her BA degree in 1964. She taught school for several years at Valley High School in Albuquerque.
She and Joe Rhodes were married September 8, 1962 in the First Methodist Church in Roswell by Dr. Austin Dillon.
Joe's career [auth] with Aetna Insurance took them from Albuquerque to Seattle, Washington for several years, followed by several years in St. Louis, Mo eventually to Littleton, Co. where he retired. Joe then accepted a management position with Prudential Insurance which took them to Barrington, IL and with retirement from Prudential back to Littleton/Columbine Valley, CO. where they began their retirement years.
Kay was always very involved with all her children's school and extra curricula activities wherever they lived. She was a very giving and caring volunteer in their various communities including: Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority Sustainer, PTA Leadership positions, Junior League, various book and bridge clubs, charitable work and fund raising committees, member of the Nine-Hole golf competitive team. Currently, a member of the Littleton United Methodist Church. She had been involved in many activities in high school: dance, music and was named the Most Beautiful Band member.
Joe survives her, as do their children Joseph Stephen Rhodes and his wife Natalie Morales of Hoboken, NJ and Julie Kay Rhodes Leftridge and her husband Steve Leftridge of Webster Grove, MO. She is also survived by her brother Steve Loren Henderson and his wife Carol Jane of Roswell and grandchildren Josh and Luke Rhodes of Hoboken and Henry and Logan Leftridge of Webster Grove.
Surviving nieces and nephews include: Cindy Henderson Redding and her husband Tony of Phoenix, AZ; Tonya Henderson Winder of Washington, UT; Mark Henderson and Carrie of Roswell; and Jon Henderson and Bertha of Laredo, TX. Sisters in Law: Barbara Rhodes Seigal and Bernie of San Francisco, and Penny Rhodes Pulliam and Byron of Grand Junction, CO, and nieces and nephews.
Kay fought a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's Disease. Kay faced the inevitability of this unforgiving disease with the same dignity and grace she displayed throughout the rest of her life. She never lost her beautiful smile, or her heartfelt love for her family and friends. She will be remembered as a kind, caring person, and she will be sorely missed by her children, her family, her loving husband and many others. May God bless her soul and welcome her into his eternal care.
As she had requested, cremation has taken place. Memorial services will be conducted at a later date.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Cowboy Bell Scholarship fund, First United Methodist Church, 200 N. Pennsylvania Avenue, Roswell, NM 88201: Alzheimers Association/ New Mexico Chapter, 404 N. Kentucky Ave, Roswell, NM 88210, The Colorado Alzheimers Association/Denver, 455 Sherman Street, Suite 500, Denver, CO 80203 or to the charity of one's choice.

A Florida man tried to sell his college diploma on eBay earlier this week in a satirical attempt to pay off his student loans.
Nick Enlow, 29, listed his 2008 bachelor's degree in psychology from Purdue University on the auction site for $36,000, plus $3.50 shipping and handling. No returns accepted.
Enlow was selling the degree because it hadn't helped him secure a job that would cover his $470 monthly loan payment to Sallie Mae. He is currently working as a substitute teacher in Jacksonville, Fla.
"The universities are handing out too many degrees that have zero real-world application," Enlow told the Lafayette Journal Courier, explaining that he put the degree on sale, in part, to start a dialogue about post-college debt and the worth of an education. "It seems to me, almost any major in the humanities or liberal arts will not gain you employment with a bachelor's degree."
You don't have to have a college degree to get a job. Check out these careers with no degree required.
Interim Dean of Purdue's College of Liberal Arts Irwin Weiser responded to the attempted sale. "A degree in the liberal arts is not an automatic ticket to a job," Weiser said. "Then again, no degree is."
eBay deemed that the listing violated its terms of service agreement and the ad was removed from the site yesterday. Enlow doesn't plan to contest this decision, primarily because he got wanted he wanted. In addition to media attention, Sallie Mae has already contacted him to renegotiate his payment plan.
Interestingly, this not the first time someone has tried to sell their higher education diploma on eBay. In March, a San Francisco lawyer attempted to auction off his Georgetown Law Degree for 99 cents. This listing was also removed by eBay, but a similar posting appearing on the less stringent CraigsList ultimately netted the graduate $592.50.

I spent several years in the Appalachian mountain range capturing ferals and my conclusion became that for many of those bees, their ability to survive is in their isolation. I had many, that as soon as they were put into a managed apiaries, they became over run with mites and died. The key to their survival was that they were existing as isolated populations and just hadn't met varroa yet. Unless you have been to the areas I speak of that is hard to understand..How would you characterise the difference between treatment-dependent and health self-sufficient stocks?
I disagree; any experienced TF beekeeper can take a package of bees from a commercial operation and successfully switch them to TF. And any inexperience beekeeper can take a treatment free hive from a successful TF beekeeper and have them die. There are commercial operations here who went from chemical dependent to treatment free without changing out their stock. The way you describe it that would not be possible. They simply weaned their hives off of chemicals over several years and now are treatment free.Unlike wild bees these stocks need human help to survive. Randy is right: that has to be viewed as a significant step toward domestication - for those stocks.

The article below has an interesting point about the difference between restaurant service and restaurant hospitality.
Having excellent service means that they get your order right, they describe the specials correctly and they don't forget to come back to refill your water and make sure your food came out okay.
Hospitality on the other hand is that extra X factor that makes you think to yourself "I really enjoyed myself today and I'm sure I'll be back soon".
The fact is of the two hospitality is much more important.
Think about your own life where you may go over to a friends house to have dinner. The food may only be okay and no one may offer to refresh your drink but you still have a great time because you with your friends and you enjoy yourself and that's what makes it such a great experience.
If you can duplicate that in a restaurant setting where people really enjoy themselves because the hospitality of the staff that quality will trump importance of the food or the service or the decor or any other factor you may be judged on.
The trick is teaching your staff hospitality is much harder than teaching your staff teaching your kitchen how to produce great food. The article makes a point of explaining how when they hire restaurant staff they specifically look for traits in the people they hire that would lead them to think they will be good at offering hospitality to the customers with the assumption that they can teach them everything else they will need to know.
This is an important distinction to understand if you can work out how to build hospitality into your restaurant business plan and make it a core value your restaurant will be off to a fantastic start in your competition will know what hit them.
The belief that the customer should come first rules the restaurant industry, but New York restaurateur Danny Meyer disagrees.
Meyer, owner of popular Manhattan restaurant Union Square Cafe and the global chain Shake Shack and author of a book about his experiences as a restaurant owner, gave a talk on the importance of hospitality in the restaurant industry to a crowd of over 100 Yale students and community members at the Whitney Humanities Center auditorium on Monday. During the lecture, Meyer shared the principles that he believes led to his restaurants' high levels of success.
Meyer said he first realized the power of hospitality to boost a restaurant's popularity about 15 years ago with the release of that year's New York Zagat Survey, an annual ranking of the top restaurants in New York City according to diners. The survey features three categories — food, décor and service — and also provides a list of the top five restaurants in New York. Though Meyer said he was thrilled that diners ranked his Union Square Cafe as their third favorite restaurant overall in the city that year, he was puzzled that it managed to achieve such a high ranking since its food ranked 12th, its service ranked 11th and its décor ranked 65th.
"There must have been something that the Zagat didn't ask about that we must have scored off the charts on," Meyer said. "We finally figured out that that was hospitality."
He then explained that good hospitality starts with a restaurant's staff. In hiring employees, Meyer said, his restaurants look for people with high "hospitality quotients," which are defined by what he referred to as six core emotional skills — kindness, curiosity, work ethic, empathy, self-awareness and integrity.
Employees are a top priority for Meyer, who said he values them over his customers.
"We were actually putting our staff in front of our customers," he said. "We learned that if we really wanted to have great customer satisfaction, you would never put them first. You want to make sure that the people who are coming to work love their jobs and love working with each other so much that they are naturally going to do a better job of taking care of our guests."
