By Francie Dalton, president, Dalton Alliances, Inc.
Let's assume there's not an ounce of fat left in your association. You've redlined, streamlined, and realigned, all the while continuing to deliver indisputably high value for your members. Even if you've somehow managed to convince everyone in your organization that the hemorrhaging is over, malaise has permeated your senior team, bringing a sense of insurmountable workload and a presumption that the dire straits state will continue for a long time to come.
One way to rejuvenate battered spirits and restore discretionary energy is to rally your team around a common goal—one that can showcase the commitment and drive of everyone involved. Here's a story of an executive team who did exactly that. Using a three-step process, the group revealed and redeployed more than 100 hours of senior executive time toward value-added work.
Step 1: Executives were confidentially asked three questions: What functions do you find most aggravating or banal? Which functions take up most of your time? What functions don't require your level of intellect or experience? The purpose was to identify what functions they perform well, but should not be performing. Six themes emerged:
1. Accepting incomplete work from staff competent enough to complete it.
2. Retaining functions when explicit instructions or templates would equip staff to perform them.
3. Not progressively developing in competent staff the acumen to do more substantive work.
4. Following up with staff to learn status of previously assigned tasks.
5. Attending/leading meetings where executive's attendance/leadership did not add value.
6. Choosing to be involved in enjoyable work that didn't require the executive's intellectual capacity.
Step 2: Executives then were asked to estimate the number of hours devoted to the functions identified in Step 1.
Results per week:
Exec #1: 25 hours
Exec #2: 8 hours
Exec #3: 13 hours
Exec #4: 17 hours
Exec #5: 10 hours
Exec #6: 7 hours
Exec #7: 4 hours
Exec #8: 16 hours
Predictably, the totals took their breath away. Yet when pressed to explain time spent on these functions, each had seemingly coherent rationalizations. Perhaps because they had taken on the functions bit by bit, they became conditioned to doing them and never realized they had the option to not perform them. Indeed, those who were struggling under the heaviest workloads slammed brain first into the realization that they were largely complicit in becoming overwhelmed.
These results aren't unusual. Twenty years in business consulting tells me these hours exist in many organizations. But until the catalytic questions in the above steps are asked, many functions performed by executives masquerade effectively as being legitimate work.
Worth noting: The probing nature of the questions sometimes can cut close to the bone, so this process isn't appropriate as a group exercise. Neither is the perfunctory inclusion of this process on the agenda of an executive team meeting. Indeed, you may prefer to use a dispassionate third party who can constructively confront executives and elicit the needed information.
Step 3: Securing commitment from these executives to redeploy time commensurate with their capabilities required only that they understand the opportunity cost of not doing so. One final question accomplished this: What outcomes could you achieve if no longer bogged down by Step 1 functions?
Motivated by the opportunities revealed from answering this question, the development of specific action plans for change was quick work. Executives were eager to brief their CEOs on their individual plans. Measurable performance expectations were developed for the achievement of the newly targeted outcomes. Thematic among the action plans were the following:
1. Require that subordinates complete all assignments thoroughly and on deadline.
2. Stop overlooking poor performance. Confront it and impose consequences.
3. Segment complex processes and delegate segments.
4. Learn to develop and articulate explicit, measurable, performance expectations.
5. Require staff to engage executives only after exhausting all logical next steps.
6. Require a quality of support from staff equaling that provided to the CEO.
7. Equip staff to handle the flow of work resulting from this exercise.
The same underperforming assets as described above, along with the attendant opportunity costs, may very well exist in your organization. And in the current business climate, CEOs can't afford not to tackle this exercise. What could your organization do with an additional 100 hours of executive time?

Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 1 week - interviewed at JPMorgan Chase.
Interview Details
I applied to this job via campus career website. After 2 days, I got an email from a branch manager in the area and chose two preferences for phone interview. On scheduled day, the same manager called me and asked very basic behavior questions.
1) Briefly explain about yourself
2) Why this position and why Chase
3) Experience in team activities
4) Sales experience
5) Experience in complicated manager
6) Experience in complicated customer and good customer
7) Role playing game - Please sell me anything you want. (iPhone, Mac, or Food, Anything)
So basically, all questions were related to sales oriented behavior because this job position is all about just sales in store.
Two days later, I got another interview request with a regional manager but turned it down because it's entry level sales job. Actually what I thought was a private banker, not a personal banker.
Interview Question –
Sell something what you want.
-This was the most difficult question because I didn't have actual information about the product. (Oh, I chose iPhone 5s and said just plain words, like long battery, slick design..etc)
Answer Question
Reason for Declining –
Not the final offer but another interview request.
But I don't want to stand in front of the door to catch walk-in customers and sell bank products. If I want to go with sales job, I might go to insurance companies.

Violent Vixen
Ray and Deena say that three years ago, after Deena had an affair and they divorced, their 16-year-old daughter, Summer, went from a straight-A student to a violent and out-of-control teen. The parents say that Summer shoplifts, uses drugs, gets into physical fights with friends and family, dresses provocatively and lies about her age to date much older men. They also claim that she has run away from home at least 15 times -- including a month-long ordeal in Las Vegas, when they say Summer lived on the streets, abused drugs and panhandled for money. How does Summer explain her behavior? Hear why she says she had no choice but to run away to Vegas -- with a near-stranger. And, how do Ray and Deena respond? Has the contention between them compromised their ability to parent Summer? Dr. Phil weighs in and offers the fractured family advice for moving forward. Will the parents be willing to come together to get Summer back on track?Tuesday - December 10, 2013

He admits that he lashes out verbally at Heather, who he claims nags him and pushes his buttons, but he is adamant that he would never physically harm her. Will he agree to take a polygraph test?

Plus, Dr. Phil's wife, Robin, issues a strong warning about domestic violence and provides important information from her new ASPIRE Initiative.

"Give Me Back My Child!"
Rabecca claims that three-and-a-half years ago, her mother, Debra, tricked her into signing over legal guardianship of her 4-year-old daughter, Dezira, while she was suffering from postpartum depression. She says that since then, Debra has developed an intense attachment to Dezira and has gone to great lengths to keep her daughter from her, including taking Dezira for the night — and then hiding her for three months. Debra says she believes the child belongs in her care, claiming Rabecca never bonded with Dezira as an infant and willingly signed over guardianship. She also alleges that Rabecca, who has two other daughters, is an unfit and neglectful mother — so why isn't Debra fighting to take the other children? Hear the shocking reason why Debra says she's contacted Child Protective Services — and Rabecca's response to the allegations. Plus, could something from Debra's past be motivating her desire to parent Dezira? And, what does Dr. Phil think is the best outcome for the child? Can this mother and daughter find common ground before the courts make their decisions for them? This program contains strong sexual content. Viewer discretion advised.Friday - December 13, 2013
A High School Homecoming, a Rape and a Ruined Relationship
Twenty-five-year-old Brianna claims that at age 15, she was raped by two male classmates at a post-Homecoming party, and when prosecutors initially refused to file charges, she says her mom, Bridget, coerced her into sharing her story with the national media, sparking backlash from her peers. Why does she say she believes her mom had an ulterior motive in getting her to speak out? Bridget insists she wanted to empower her daughter, because she felt they weren't getting anywhere with the legal system. Does she take any ownership in the fallout that her daughter says she received? Bridget and her husband, Michael, say Brianna -- who now has a 7-year-old son — has since spiraled out of control, and they fear for their grandson's safety. They claim Brianna and her partner, Vickie, use drugs and that Vickie has been abusive toward the child — allegations both women deny. Is Brianna's son in danger? Emotions run high when the family faces each other on Dr. Phil's stage. Then, best-selling author Mitch Albom shares a painful, personal experience that inspired his new book, The First Phone Call from Heaven, and offers advice to Bridget and Brianna. Can this mother and daughter make peace with the past and fix their fractured relationship?LAST WEEK'S SHOWS

Shortlist Success at National Transport Awards
Friday, 26 July 2013
Hampshire County Council's Streetsense road safety campaign has been shortlisted for a prestigious National Transport Award.
The Streetsense campaign is aimed at reducing the number of casualties among secondary school aged students by highlighting the dangers of being distracted at the roadside.
It is one of seven initiatives shortlisted for excellence in Road Safety, Traffic Management & Enforcement project of the year.
StreetSense was launched in 2012 and heightens awareness of the potential dangers from being distracted at the roadside by using mobiles, MP3 players or by friends. The awareness is intended to stay with them as they become young motorists, encouraging them to be safer drivers and riders.
There is a campaign website, and social media is used to advise young people on how to reduce the risks of being distracted and stay safe.
Visible roadside improvements such as enhanced signing and pedestrian crossings, resurfacing and improved skid resistance, go alongside the education programme.
Since its launch, bus and train operators, together with the Police, have given their backing to StreetSense, escalating the campaign to make all travel modes safer for young teens.
Councillor Sean Woodward, Executive Member for Economy, Transport and Environment, said: "The shortlisting is great news for the Council and gives the campaign the recognition it deserves. It reminds both teenagers and pre-teens about keeping safe as they travel on foot or by bike, particularly to and from school. It's a sad fact that 12-19 year olds are more likely than other road users to be killed or seriously injured in a road incident. This age group generally get themselves to school or college, independently and there are many things that can distract them such as listening to music and using their mobile phones so it is important that they are aware of the dangers of not fully concentrating on their surroundings."
The National Transport Awards are supported by the Department for Transport and Passenger Focus. Winners will be announced on 17th October 2013.
Hampshire County Council was awarded Transport County of the Year at the 2012 Awards.

Hello Everyone, i Please need HELP! I have a technical question regarding the APM 1 Mega Barometric pressure sensor. How do i know if the barometric pressure sensor is working right? I get a strange reading on the VSI, the indicator mouves up and down +/- 3-4 and some times it stays at zero and then it goes up and down again!!!! I am testing the apm on the mission planner and checking all the other sensors and seams like they are working fine, nothing moves if i don't touch the apm, what kind of reading are we suopposed to get from the Mission Planner pressure sensor VSI gauge? Is it normal?
Or does it need to be steady reading like always zero? Or the indicator from the vsi pressure sensor oscillates a bit.
Please respond!!!
Thank you.
Here is a shorto video.
Have you tried erasing eeprom?? connect to MP through USB and in terminal go to setup/ erase. repeat a couple of times and upload the firmware again.
i'm having the same problem. so whatever solution i find i'll let you know. remind me if i don't reply soon please.
also, if you find a solution, please let me know!!
wow yours is really crazy...
mine stays on -4 steady sometimes when i land. it's weird. but the big problem with mine was that it would twitch midflight. i solved it by soldering everything: motor bullets and ESC connectors to the PDB. it got solved!!
the bullets felt hard solid before soldering them. right after i soldered them it started flying perfectly.
I even checked the log of a stable flight and the VSI goes all around, but it seems to not affect the flight.. it's gotta be dampened somehow.
if your flight is bad, solder everything. highly recommended!
I'm seeing the same problem on my new APM2 with MP 1.1.55 and V2.5 firmware...would love to know if this is normal also.
hm.. do you know if it is the same sensor? either it's too sensitive or bad, or the graphic needle is not dampened (for visual relief i mean).
Me and friend of mine having the same problems - discussion here =(

"The Elephant Whisperer" is compelling and touching (book review)
Sunday, February 3rd, 2013"The Elephant Whisperer"
by Lawrence Anthony with Graham Spence
This 2009 book is a ten year story of how a conservationist/game reserve owner of 5,000 acres in Zululand, South Africa takes in an unwanted herd of 7 elephants, which were causing trouble in another reserve in Africa. If he didn't take them in all of them would have been shot and killed. He becomes their "friend" and by his kindness and gentle speech is able to communicate with them, mostly the matriarch elephant named Nana.
But Anthony writes in the opening Prologue:
"Make no mistake, the title of this book is not about me for I make no claim to any special abilities. It is about the elephants – it was they who whispered to me and taught me how to learn." (page 1)
There are numerous, exciting adventures related in the book – poachers, escape of the elephants, illness, birth & death, another female orphaned elephant, bush fire, flooding. He grippingly relates stories of living peaceably with the other animals in the African wild – snakes (including the deadly Black Mambas, pythons, and cobras), crocodiles, Cape buffaloes.
Later Anthony and his French 2nd wife Francoise entertain guests in a new luxury lodge at Thula Thula with jeep or walking safaris, to view first hand the African animals such as giraffes, zebras, rhinos, leopards, hyenas, antelopes, monkeys, etc., including this herd of elephants.
What is extremely touching is how Anthony becomes an "elephant whisperer", as he learns to communicate with this novel herd by watching their ears, eyes, trunk explorations, and noting their stomach rumblings. He keenly observed their behavior and admired their sense of intuition and caring for their young. He also mentions that they can communicate via infrasound vibrations(through unique stomach rumblings) over miles with each other, perhaps throughout the African continent (page 154 & 155).
Anthony's dream was to preserve the neighboring land into a Royal Zulu game preserve for the Zulu tribes that live nearby, and he also founded The Earth Organization to care for wild animal and plant kingdoms. He and Spence have also written another book about Anthony's courageous work to save the animals in the Baghdad Zoo during Desert Storm in 2003 ("Babylon's Ark: The Incredible Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zoo", 2007).
When Anthony suddenly died last March 2, 2012 at age 61 of a heart attack, this elephant herd somehow knew and walked for miles out of the bush to stand outside of his home for 2 days, apparently to pay their respect for him, their deceased "friend". How they knew he died was probably due to that special, spiritual bond that was created between him and this herd over 13 years. Indeed it was a fitting tribute to this admirable, kind man who saved their lives and took them without hesitation onto his large reserve to live peaceably in the wild once more.
After reading this book which helped me to understand and respect elephants a whole lot more, it also encouraged me to visit these magnificent pachyderms at the Reid Park Zoo in their new large enclosure Expedition Tanzania.

Microsoft Security Essentials vs Avira vs avast! vs AVG: Best free anti-virus/anti-malware program for Windows [3rd Edition]
December 18, 2011 408 Email article | Print articleWithout a doubt one of the most popular questions I am asked is "which security software should I use for my computer?" Often times the person asking me the question is looking for a free security solution as opposed to a paid one. To address this question, I have already created a post on best security software. However, now – in this article – I am going to directly address the issue of "should I use Avira, avast!, or AVG?" Of course there are many other free anti-virus/anti-malware software. However, I feel these three are the most popular and most commonly inquired about, hence why I picked them.
Update on December 3, 2010: Because of its growing popularity, and requests made to me by many people, Microsoft Security Essentials is now included in this comparison.
When evaluating security software and trying to decide which one you want to use, there are two main areas which you should look at: Features and performance. So, lets get started.
This review is part of our Best Free Windows Software section. Check out more articles on the best free Windows programs from here.
Table of Contents
Summary of Update
Features Comparison
Performance Comparison
Detection Rates
Malware Removal Effectiveness
Computer Impact
In the 3rd edition of dotTech's guide on Best Free Windows Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware the following changes have been made:
- Features Comparisonsection has been updated to reflect new features added to Avira Free, avast! Free, AVG Free, and Microsoft Security Essentials since the 2nd edition of this article was written. All four made tweaks and modifications to their existing features; the major new features are:
- Avira Free – "WebGuard"
- avast! Free – Behavior blocker, "Auto Sandbox", "Script Shield", "WebRep"
- AVG Free – Largely unchanged
- Microsoft Security Essentials – Behavior blocker, "Network Inspection System"
- Performance Comparison section has been updated to reflect new on-demand and retrospective detection rates for Avira Free, avast! Free, and Microsoft Security Essentials. AVG Free did not participate in the latest retrospective tests so AVG Free's detection rates have been updated only for on-demand tests.
- Performance Comparison's sub-section Speed and Computer Usage has been rewritten with a new source and renamed to Computer Impact.
- Performance Comparison now includes a new sub-section, Malware Removal Effectiveness.
(Click on the chart to view it in full size.)
In terms of features, as you can see in the chart above, all four programs provide the necessary fundamental protection. However, it is worth noting that neither of the programs provide full/advanced phishing protection; you will have to cough up money for paid versions to get full/advanced phishing protection. Or, you could just be careful about what links you click; and double-check to make sure the website you are at is who it claims to be since phishing success heavily depends on social engineering and user ambivalence.
Furthermore, while all four programs provide the fundamentals, avast! is the most notable one for going "above and beyond" the basics and providing a little extra bang for the buck (or lack thereof). In other words, avast! provides more "extra" features than the other three, although AVG Free also has some nice extras. It also should be noted Avira Free's "WebGuard" requires users to install Avira Toolbar, which is powered by Ask.com; and Microsoft Security Essentials has an interesting feature called "Network Inspection System" — a guard against network-based exploits.
Lastly, even though Microsoft Security Essentials is the only one to not prompt users with advertisements it must be noted that the ads in avast! Free are non-intrusive and embedded within the main console window – they are not the popup ads Avira Free is notorious for and AVG Free sometimes displays.
(Click on the chart to view it in full size.)
(Click on the chart to view it in full size.)
When viewing the above test results, keep a few things in mind:
- The On-Demand Anti-Malware Tests are tests done on the security software with all their features enabled (with all settings set to the highest possible). The Retrospective/Proactive Anti-Malware Tests are tests done specifically on the security softwares' heuristics capabilities; their capabilities to protect against unknown/new malware that have no signatures. It needs to be mentioned that heuristics is not the only feature that security software use against unknown/new malware. Other feature, such as behavior blocking, also help detect unknown/new malware; however only the heuristics feature (and no other features, such as behavior blocking) was tested in the Retrospective/Proactive Anti-Malware Tests.
- For the The On-Demand Anti-Malware Tests
- Microsoft Security Essentials had "very few" false positives; Avira had "few" false positives; avast! had "few" false positives; and AVG had "many" false positives.
- Avira scanned at "fast" speed; avast! scanned at "fast" speed; AVG scanned at "average" speed; and Microsoft Security Essentials scanned at "slow" speed.
- The tests were conducted 1-5 months ago. In other words, Avira, avast!, AVG, and MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) may have improved (or degraded) their performance since these tests were conducted. These are the versions of each program used for both of the above tests:
- The tests were conducted using the free version of Avira ("Avira AntiVir Personal" is another name for Avira Free); free and paid version of AVG, respectively for each test; and free version of avast!. Microsoft Security Essentials, of course, is free by definition.
Because of the above mentioned points,
- The performance of each software today may be different than when the tests were conducted.
- The performance of the free edition AVG may perform slightly differ than what is shown above since paid version for AVG was used for one test.
However, keeping that in mind, for the purposes of a simple comparison these test results work just fine because they give general indications, which is what we are looking for.
That being said, the results are a clear indication of Avira's detection superiority. Not only does Avira have the highest on-demand detection rates, but it also tops the chart for retrospective tests; all with fast scanning and few false positives. avast! comes in a close second with healthy on-demand and retrospective rates, fast scanning, and few false positives. MSE is fourth in on-demand detection but does very well in retrospective tests and comes out on top when it comes to false positives. (It should be noted MSE's lower on-demand rates help it do better in terms of false positives: It detects less so there is less chance of it to have false positives.) AVG, in my opinion, is the most disappointing of the lot. It doesn't do too badly in on-demand but does terrible for retrospective and has many false positives.
Based off just these test results, Avira and avast! are definitely my two top picks, with MSE a close third. However, the tests were conducted in a lab setting for benchmark purposes. In other words, they don't exactly reflect "real life". In real-life usage the protection between all four program will be similar because most user activity will fall within areas covered by all four. I may be a bit bold when I say this but the differences between all four software will typically only be felt when conducting benchmarks or tests.
(Click on the chart to view it in full size.)
Being able to detect malware has value in of itself; simply knowing you are infected is worthwhile. However, an anti-virus/anti-malware program that cannot remove malware is probably one you don't want to have. Hence in the 3rd edition of dotTech's guide on Best Free Windows Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware we look at the results of a malware removal effectiveness test.
Before we discuss the results it must be noted this malware removal effectiveness test had limited scope — it only used ten samples. It is hard, and frankly not fair or logical, to draw authoritative conclusions based on a test that only used ten samples. However, for the purposes of a non-authoritative indicator, this test will do just fine… as long as you keep in mind the limited scope.
That said, Avira once again tops the charts. MSE comes in a close second with AVG and avast! lagging as distant third and fourth, respectively. As I said, this test used only ten samples so we can't say avast! or AVG are incompetent at removing malware while Avira or MSE are the best. The results very well could have been different if different ten malware samples were picked. (That is why having a large, randomized sample size is important in any test.) However, I believe it is fair to say with its combined stellar performance on-demand and retrospective detection rates and malware removal effectiveness, Avira more than makes up in performance what it lacks in features.

(Click on the chart to view it in full size.)
NOTE: Avira Free 2012, avast! Free v6, AVG AntiVirus 2012, and Microsoft Security Essentials v2.1 were used for the above tests.
Generally speaking, the computer impact of all four software is about the same. True, avast! does come out on top but only by a small margin; and this small margin will only be noticed when benchmarking — not in real-life usage. Really the only test worth noting is opening Word and opening PDF. In this test avast! out shines the other three on the first run (subsequent run they all perform the same). All other aspects of the Computer Impact test end up with results that are too close to draw lines between.
(For those that don't know, PC Mark is a professional, industry-recognized benchmarking tool. The higher PC Mark score, the better. However, when it comes to PC Mark, few points here and there have no significant meaning. If PC Mark scores were drastically different, such as 50 or more, then it would be worth looking at.)
Note: All tests referenced in all Performance Comparison sub-sections of this article were not conducted by dotTech. They (the tests) were conducted by AV-Comparatives.org, an authority on security software testing. I attained permission to re-publish AV-Comparatives' results on dotTech when I originally wrote this article.
While there are some noteworthy aspects – such as Microsoft Security Essential's low false positive count or avast!'s lowest computer impact or Avira's best detection and removal performance – there is no one "winner" between Microsoft Security Essentials, Avira Free, avast! Free, and AVG Free. To try to determine which one is the "best" is like trying to split hairs; it is hard to do and it hurts. In real-life situations, all four programs will provide users with excellent protection.
However, with that being said, if I were to rank these four I would rank Avira and avast! as my top two picks; Avira for its detection and malware removal and avast! for its features and lowest computer impact. Microsoft Security Essentials and AVG come after Avira and avast!, with each providing one or two unique features that have potential to win over users.
Now, what program you should use comes down to your specific needs and desires. Want the most features? avast! Free is the way to go. Are you looking for the best detection rates and don't care about anything else? Avira Free is for you. Want a simple anti-malware program that provides great protection without nagging ads? Microsoft Security Essentials beckons you. Worried about network security? Microsoft Security Essentials' "Network Inspection System" may serve you well. Are you a social network addict? Go with AVG Free for it has "Social Network Protection". Hate false positives? Avoid AVG and consider Microsoft Security Essentials. Dislike slow scan times? Don't get Microsoft Security Essentials. Surf the web a lot, besides your frequent websites? avast! Free's "Web Shield" provides better specialized protection in that area than the other three programs. Download lots of software? avast! Free's "Auto Sandbox" may be your next best friend.
I have provided you with the facts; now the choice of Microsoft Security Essentials, Avira Free, avast! Free, or AVG free is in your hands. Whichever one you pick, rest assured all four will serve you well.

Hi !
For those who are interested, I have left a comment here :
concerning the comparison between Avira, BitDefender, Avast and AVG.
This comment illustrate the nature of things at this present moment about this subject.
But I will let you know right now that Avira is actually the best antivirus amongst the four I've just spoke about…
Personally I'm running Avira Free with Malwarebytes Pro and making scans with these one but also with the free version of Emsisoft Anti-Malware.
401Hi !
There is a special page on AV-Comparatives where you can get a complete awards overview for all the habitually listed antiviruses. The address of this page is :
http://chart.av-comparatives.org/chart2.phpYou may get the data for different categories like Anti-Phishing Test, FileDetection Test etc, over a certain number of years. All you have to do is to chose a category at the top of the table and after that you click on the antivirus of your choice on the right of the table.
If you do a special check for the FileDetection Test, you will clearly see that Avira is really one of the very best antiviruses on the market since a couple of years…

I have never been so disappointed with a service in my life. I have 4 cats and wanted a portrait with me and them all wearing identical sweaters that I knitted myself. I worked very hard knitting them and wanted my hard work captured in a family portrait. The events leading up to the portrait were precessional and gave the impression that my needs and expectations were ensured to be met. I was wrong. I was way wrong. When we arrived at her studio she snickered and made a snarling remark about how horrible my sweaters looked. After a brief moment of fight back tears I continued on because I didn't want to let my cats down. Especially Mittens. He has been excited the whole week prior. My cats were well behaved and didn't make any fuss at all. It really helped out that 3 of them were stuffed after they passed away 2 years ago. When she took the picture she didn't even tell me to say "cheese." As a young girl, that was always my favorite part when it came to taking a picture. She took the picture unexpectedly and wouldn't take another without wanting to charge me for an additional photograph. When I got the picture in the mail, I was mortified. Her photoshop skills were lackluster at best. I felt like Mittens could have done better. He was so disappointed when he saw the photograph that he walked away and hit under the bed. Prior to the photograph I asked her to remove a mole that noticeably sits on my face. Not only did she not remove it, but I'm fairly certain she added hairs to it. Circling back to her candid snapshot, Mittens was licking him self and I was in mid-sneeze. Needless to say, I am unhappy and never plan on calling her again.
I own a local business here in Tucson, and I always try to support the local community and small business. When approached by this studio for work collaborations I figured I would give it a chance. The owner is young, and very unprofessional. Talks about her personal life in less then pleasent ways. Not very reliable as our appointment times had to be changed a few times. I think her quality of work shows promise but I wouldn't jump at the chance to work with this business again.
No new reviews so i thought I would post one.
Friday has perennial 80's and G. Cover charge and packed. Saturday night ; no cover smaller crowd and sometimes very good bands (Giant Blue, etc). Definitely the night to go. Mixed crowd with many older people looking for hookups (well it's true). Drinks are very reasonable for Foothills, food good. Bartenders are nice and fast
-sher-e-punjab is an amazing place, the service was wonderful it might not look big and fancy but once you order one of there dishes the appearence of the building doesnt matter the naan bread is unlike anything ive ever ate before the aroma of the dishes still remains in my noise til now,the tenduri chicken is very flavorfull try it!!,and i love how you can hear them play indian music softly in the background who ever says they dont appreciate the great dishes that this place brings seriously doesnt know what good food is and shoudnt even be critiking negative comments because they are not true !!,, sher-e-punjab the greatest restaraunt to have ever been open in the cityof tucson..
dont know what the big deal is. Food is average. No bar. long wait during prime time. Clinton ate hear? So what. He ate at MC'D's too.
A feast for the eyes and ears. A very soulful, sensual place.
From the ambience, to the friendly staff, to the great food there is nowhere else in Tucson that I enjoy eating more. It is a must hit every time my family is in town!
Awesome food, haven't had a mediocre meal ever since I started eating there. It's usually packed Sunday late-mornings, so get there early or be ready to wait for a table, it's a small-midsize restaurant.
Best prices for cards. Fun atmosphere. Also, one of the top rated judges presides over the events. Good people. Good times.
I tried this place years ago and never went back as I thought the food was mediocre and the place too loud. It can get loud but its really a great restaurant in an area of town with few choices of restaurants. Pizza is just fine, thin crust better than regular. Food portions are hugh and all the food is tasty and reasonably priced. Great staff. Beats dealing with a Brooklyn Pizza kind of place.
I do not understand this places' popularity. Like were is the meat? The sandwiches are hugh only because the bread is hugh with very little filling. And when I eat there which has only been twice in eight years, I worry about chipping a tooth.
Awful food. Seriously bad. The waitress I had had some big towel on her head, smelled like cabbage, and couldn't understand a thing I said. Padd Thai is a signature dish and any halfway decent Thai place should be able to pull it off. It was gross. We complained and someone who claimed to be the owner came over. Started telling us that it was a recipe from her grandmother. Who cares lady, it's BAD!!
Char's - Sorry I strayed. Never again!!!
Great beers, tasty food, attentive servers, no skimpy portions! Very relaxed kick back atmosphere, pool tables too.
The best food I've had in Tucson. I went last Septemeber for my birthday and again for Cinco de Mayo and then my mom, aunt and I resolved to go at least once a month. I always get the Plato Poca Cosa and give the chef free reign on what I eat and have never been disappointed. The chocolate mole is to die for.
Try it for Hot or Cold Sandwiches, Hot Italian entrees, even salads - this food rocks!
Careful, if you order the Chicken Parm sandwich... You'll start craving this place and be back again & again!
My favorite secret menu item - A Tuna Sandwich on a TOASTED roll. Trust me...
Eating here was the worst dinning experience that I have ever had in any restaurant ever. I went with my grandparents and one of their elderly friends who had suggested the place and wanted to teat us. We started out by ordering a few appetizers and I bit into something rancid. We instructed the waitress to take away the remainder of that appetizer tray and to bring me a clean plate so I could finish sharing the other appetizers. She asked us if we wanted to order another appetizer and we said no, that would be fine, just bring a clean plate please. She did, and we went on. Then a guy, who I assume was the manager, actually brought the remainder of the appetizer plate back to our table and demanded to know who said that the food tasted rancid. I said I did. He said he didn't understand and that he didn't think that I knew what the word rancid even meant. That it meant rotten. I was blown away. I was trying to be discreet because the friend had highly recommended this restaurant and was picking up the tab, and now the manager is hovering over our table with the tray in hand, telling me that that it must be the balsamic vinegar that I'm tasting, and that I don't know rotten, slimy spinach when I just spit it out of my mouth! To make things even worse, he goes on and on to tell me I should order something else, that If I think that tastes bad, than I'm not going to like the Greek salad that I ordered as a side dish to my entrée because that's "just the way it tastes". And you know what, I didn't. It was completely bland and dry. But that's besides the fact that no body enjoyed their meals after that absurd encounter. Being there with octogenarians, I didn't react the way I wanted to. We tried to mumble through with some awkward jokes about him coming back out to ask me if I knew the definitions of more words, but it was still embarrassing. Can you imagine what would have been like if it was a dinner with clients or people from work? I will definitely never go there again with anyone, for any reason, and I suggest no one else does either.
Now repurchased by Jose, the original owner of Hideout West on Mission. It is clean and bright inside and out. Worth stopping by to check it out. Back to basics neighborhood bar with good food, drinks, and 14 flat screen HD TV's.
We went on a Friday night, there was only one person working and he had four sets of customers waiting. So the service was lacking a bit. I didn't take away any stars for this for two reasons. One, he let us know he had to send the other person working with him home that night because he was too sick to be working. Not his fault. And two, the food was so darn good, we didn't even care that the service was a tad bit slow. We ordered Carne Asada tacos, Camaron (beer battered) tacos, the Mar y Tierra (Surf and Turf) tacos and the Ranchero Style Whole Pinto Beans. Everything was made to order so when we got them they were still sizzling from the grill. Wow, were we blown away! They use rib eye and fresh shrimp for the Mar y Tierra with a drizzle of mustard on top. I am obsessed with this one and wanted to go back the next day to see if I was dreaming about it or if was truly one of the best tasting tacos I ever tasted, it was! The batter on the shrimp was very light, crispy, tasty and complemented the shrimp perfectly. The salsas served were delicious too.
Everything was fresh and the quality of the meat and shrimp made a huge difference in the flavor and experience. I've eaten at alot of taquerias in this town, this place is now my Numero Uno!
My wife and I went to the Original Hideout last Saturday night to meet our friends. Never having been there, we were a little worried with all the stories we've heard throughout the years... Well, let me put your mind at ease! As we pulled into the parking lot it was apperent this is the place to be on Saturday nights. It was a full lot. As we traversed the lot for the third time a security gaurd met us and directed us to a spot. I thought it very nice of the fellow. As we walked up to the door, there was quite a few people outside, we could here the music playing inside. It was a hot and muggy night, but inside was dark and cool. It was a packed house so we slowly made our way to the bar, three bartenders at the ready taking orders from the crowd, soon a beautiful bartender took our order and off we went to find our party. We found our friends at a table right off the dance floor, we squeezed in and enjoyed our drinks as the band started their second set of the night. Let me just say at this juncture, Los Bandidos, (house band for the 11 years, I later found out) is so great... they have the crowd jumping on the dance floor. Many couples don't even get off the floor, they just stop dancing. Growing up listening to my fathers music, I became an instant fan of Los Bandidos. They play all the classic Norteno/Conjunto music I have come to love and thought I would only here in old tapes and CD's. There hook is to play any song the patrons of this westside night spot ask for, I requested a few of my favorite tunes and was dancing to them within a few songs. I don't know why it took us so long to find this Saturday night gem, but we're regulars from now on.

Looks like the TB&G station has both Ethanol and 100% now.
A belated congratulations on the new racer and the retiring of the big rig!
The TB&G station on Ann Arbor isn't 100% anymore. The pumps have 10% Ethanol on them.
Great comment on the Fracking issue this morning. Bud's??
Don, both the Silverado and Impala were victims of the GM financial problems fromthe U'S. financial collapse in 2008. Both have had their cadence extended and are finally both brand new for 2014, but while both vehicles are vast improvements, it will take another "on time" cadence cycle to really get where GM needs to be. Remember, cars and trucks are in development for years before going into production. Also, the 2014 Silverado and Sierra are Superior to the current Ford trucks and will probably win the 2014 Truck of the year award, so i wouldn't read too much about the article about weight reductions. Good day to you sir.
Congratulations on 1,000 consecutive days!
Congrats on a thousand straight days !!! ... and Happy Birthday tomorrow !!! ... What branch of the service ??? Wanna be buds ???
Hi Don, Congratulation on reaching the 1000 Day Mark Tomorrow, Let me the first to say keep up the good work, Wanna be buddy
Good comment on the (man-made) 'global warming' scam. Bud's?

About Me Classic, Stylish
I bought these after hunting them down at the SoHo location, which is the only store that has them in the NYC area. I tried on both the black and cognac and had the HARDEST time choosing between them. I went with the black only because I wanted the shoe more for going out and thought the black was just a sexier night time look. However, I am thinking about going back and getting the cognac because these shoes are gorgeous and great for transitioning into fall. They are comfortable and provide great ankle and overall foot support. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

daffodyllady wrote:Of course, we haven't yet seen whether Trump will also throw his hat in the ring...
good4u1 wrote:Well, that is a shame, Sword, if you neglect your civic responsibility as a citizen just because you do not like your party's national nominee. I didn't particular care for McCain either, but I still voted for him...and you know the results. Remember, there are many other vital races/issues that need support and decisions can be won or lost all because you sulked and stayed home. Please re-consider and do the right thing.
Sword of Geddon wrote:The revolution was fought for immoral reasons, mainly because many colonists did not want to pay taxes(a violation of one of God's commands in scripture).
HighBeams wrote:Sword, I also am quite a bit older than you and have had many opportunities to vote. Also, like you, I am cynical of the political process that has evolved in our country. But I will continue to vote. What good4u1 said about our democratic process--i.e., the ability to have a one-person-one-vote--being a treasure and ultimately under God's control is absolutely correct. Our government was given to us by God (Romans 13:1-3), and our corruption of it is not His fault. But simply because it is highly corrupted does not mean that God cannot or does not use individual votes as He desires. When I go to the voting booth, it is after much prayer seeking the Lord's guidance. Therefore, while I do not know just how God uses my vote, I am absolutely confident that He does use my vote for His glory.
Postby Sword of Geddon on Wed Jan 04, 2012 6:58 pm
The American revolution, fought by a minority of colonists in the late 18th century, was fueled by a humanist, not Christian, philosophy. When people say the United States was founded on Christian principles they are promoting revisionist history. The founders were influenced by people like Locke, and I don't have to tell you that Locke's writings were anything but Christian. Thomas Hobbes, another writer of the time was much closer to a true biblical view of government.
The true purpose of government is not to represent "the people" but to maintain order and restrain immorality, much of which is not possible under a representational or democratic form of government. The revolution was fought for immoral reasons, mainly because many colonists did not want to pay taxes(a violation of one of God's commands in scripture).
I'm not going to go into the voting booth and in effect endorse the American political system, which forces you to choose from one of two people who are really not all that different,and enforces a system where popular opinion, not the common good, is the rule.
My newest favorite quote:
"A society which makes freedom its primary goal will lose it, because it has made, not responsibility, but freedom from responsibility, its purpose."
--R. J. Rushdoony
Isaiah 22:22 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
22 "Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder,
When he opens no one will shut,
When he shuts no one will open.
And also:
Revelation 3:7 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
"And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this:
daffodyllady wrote:laney, if Ron Paul will run as an independent, he will draw a lot of votes off of Obama. Hopefully.
good4u1 wrote:I think Dr. Williams makes a good case for how ignorant most Americans are regarding their voting privileges and how flawed our political system really is, but...nothing is impossible with God. Even if the deck is stacked against conservative, voting Christians, I will cast my vote AGAINST Obama to make my one vote, one person voice count regardless of who the eventual GOP nominee will be. Period.

Could he not draw alot of votes away from the Republican nominee too?

daffodyllady wrote:All I can say is, I sure am tired of hearing the mudslinging!
All I can think is ... Newt started it.
And most of the anti-Romney stuff really doesn't make good capitalist sense.
I used to like Newt pretty good. But now... hey he is a very slick politician. He knows how to read a crowd, and how to say what will connect with that particular audience. He knows how to twist facts to seem to support his side (like the Bain saga) and this makes me really not trust him... How do we know who Newt really is???
He talked a lot in SC about his new spirituality, and being changed by becoming a Christian, etc. Yes. He was in the Bible belt. He knew that would resonate with them. Now that he is in Florida, he is proposing big NASA dreams.
How do we know who Newt really is? All we have are his words. And his words (especially the mud-slinging) make me distrust him.

It was the home 48 Wilson Street in Corning that exploded but the damage was felt throughout the neighborhood. Paul and Jill Mertus own the home right next door. A home they are no longer able to live in. Our Bill Mich has more.
CORNING, N.Y. -- For Paul and Jill Mertus, the homeowners at 46 Wilson Street, the news about their home being condemned after the house next door exploded was certainly tough, but they took it in stride.
"I was just thankful everybody was alive. So at that point, who cares about anything else. Everybody's alive and I was happy and thanks be to God I continue to be happy because everybody is alive," said Paul Mertus.
Their house is just one of three that has been deemed uninhabitable after damage sustained in Friday's explosion. 48 Wilson Street exploded after a gas leak found an ignition source with two men inside who were working on the water heater. Robert Young, 86, and his grandson, Paul, 38, survived the blast, but did sustain serious injuries. Now it is time to try and get back to normal on Wilson Street and while that will be tough for the Mertus', they say they are getting plenty of help.
"Offers to stay at houses, offers for food, to help clean out, to help watch our kids, to just anything you can imagine. It's been amazing to really see what everybody would do for you in this type of a situation," said Jill Mertus.
The family will soon have to rent a house because the one on Wilson Street must be torn down. But the Mertus' say they would love to rebuild in the same spot. And despite everything that has happened, Paul and Jill hold no grudges.
"I can't imagine he would not do his own water heater. That's just what Bob does. I am very thankful for our neighbors and I just really pray that he pulls through," said Paul Mertus.
Following the explosion on Friday, both Robert and Paul Young were taken to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester to be treated for their injuries. Both are listed in guarded condition.

Anti-Eating Mouth Cage From the Patently Absurd Inventions Archive Actual Patent Illustration - All Inventions Hold Real USA Patents
Anti-Eating Mouth Cage US Patent Issued In 1982
The holidays are a time to celebrate (there's a holiday coming up soon somewhere in the world every week). And you know what the holidays mean... Eat! Feast! Food! The holidays just wouldn't be the same without a little overindulgence in the chow arena, but overeating leads to health problems and our inventor says that it's a foregone conclusion that chefs, housewives that cook and restaurant employees who are constantly subjected to food will overeat their way into obesity. His solution? The Anti-Eating Mouth Cage! The Mouth Cage is designed to allow you to breath and speak but not eat due to the food barrier that's mounted on your face. Just in case you are temped by that perfect pie that's calling out to you, the Mouth Cage is actually locked onto your head, so you can't cheat the system. We don't know about you, be we're thinking it's just a little too creepy to have Mom and our favorite restaurant staff smiling from behind their own little personal mouth jails. Guess it's time for some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
