So you finally realized your company needs a professional to explain your website videos.
You've held out long enough, old friend, but we knew you'd crack. At last you admitted that if you don't have an online video, a competitor will…and guess who will win the next client? You will! Because you're working with us!
So what can an online video really do? Well, online videos allow you to present a clear, concise message that will tell the story of your product or service in an appealing, engaging, and user-friendly format. Talk about using positive words, right? So, why do people like them? Because information-overloaded consumers are more likely to watch an online video than read a lot of text. An online video capitalizes on this by putting your product idea into video form. What it comes down to is that people like to watch stories and respond well to clear, entertaining messages and calls to action. Sneaky, huh? You're advertising and having fun!
Now, obviously, the level of complexity of your product or service changes the length of your online video and the pricing structure. Of course, if you have something extremely complicated, then we want to take our time explaining it, so that the viewer really gets it. If your product is straightforward, then hey why waste any time? Let's get that bad boy done in a minute! Many explanatory videos are short and concise, not lasting longer than two minutes; however, web series can last up to 20 minutes, because they include more information and a longer story. We're not going to ask you to do a one minute web series, because that is literally no information; we'll let you go on and on (but not too long…don't bore us).
0 to 5 minutesTypical explanatory videos last 60-90 seconds, but some may be extended past this recommended time, if they really deserve it.
0 to 10 minutesOnline videos showcasing different or intricate products or services may last up to 10 minutes in order to fully convey the message. But don't push it.
0 to 20 minutesEducational pieces or multifaceted products can last up to 20 minutes, but the recommended length is less. Please less.

"I think all my first dates were probably less awkward than this," says Jeremy Fugleberg, referring to the NAACP's meeting on Saturday night with the Ku Klux Klan in a hotel conference room in Casper, Wyo. Fugleberg is assistant managing editor for news at the Casper Star Tribune and reported on the gathering.
The meeting took months to set up. It was prompted by a number of assaults on African-American men in Gillette, a town about 130 miles north of Casper. Jimmy Simmons, the president of the local NAACP chapter, said he was concerned that the attacks might have been racially motivated because the men were reportedly attacked after hanging out with white women. Klan literature began appearing in Gillette. So Jimmy Simmons negotiated with the Klan for a sit-down meeting with John Abarr, a kleagle in the United Klan of America.
The meeting took place last Saturday night, and Jeremy Fugleberg was one of the few members of the media invited to attend. He shared his observations with Tell Me More's host Michel Martin.
Interview Highlights
On the meeting:
"You had the NAACP on one side of a table. You had the one Klansman on the other. And they swung right into it. There were certainly some pleasantries at the beginning, and the next moment, we were talking about interracial marriage, and [John Abarr] would come out and say things that were completely consistent with his position as a Klansman, but just odd to hear said out in the air, much less in front of leaders of the NAACP."
On whether the NAACP challenged John Abarr on his opinions:
"They certainly challenged him. Jimmy Simmons, the branch president, he definitely took a lead in almost moderating it … almost saying, 'Tell me more about that.' Other members there were much harsher on him, saying, 'Look, how can you say that? How do you know that you're not black?'…because they were talking about Klan recruiting and he was insisting, 'I wouldn't let anybody who is black join.' And they said, 'Well okay, so how do you know?' They said, 'Do you subscribe to this 'one drop of blood' process?' and he said, 'Oh yeah, that's definitely how we do it.' And again, of course, the question is: How do you know? 'Oh, I would know. I would know if somebody was black.' And they all laughed at that, because under his standards, that's not necessarily an easy thing to claim."
On what John Abarr liked about being in the Klan:
"He definitely seemed excited about the sense of belonging that you get from an organization like that, I suppose. He even mentioned at one point…he almost equated being a member of the KKK to being an historical re-enactor — almost. And…the NAACP members pushed him on that, and said, 'How do you do that without realizing that you are taking on the form and the character of an organization with the history that it has?' And every time he was pushed on that, he would admit that, sure, there had been some things during Reconstruction, but other than that, he wasn't aware of anything."
On how the meeting ended:
"One of the [NAACP] members, Mel Hamilton, took the stance of trying to sum it up, saying, 'You know I'm really not happy with what I'm hearing. I don't think you're aware of your own history, and I don't feel like you're coming here seriously. I don't think you're taking this seriously." Then [John Abarr] was asked near the end, 'So what do you think of the NAACP now, after this meeting?' He said, 'Oh I think … I really have more respect for the NAACP for having this meeting. I think it was awesome." And then Mr. Simmons, out of the blue, says, 'Well would you like to join up? Would you like to become a member?' And he [John Abarr] said, 'Sure. Yeah. I'd have no problem doing that.' And the next thing you know, he was signing the application form to become a member of the NAACP."
On the NAACP's reaction after the meeting:
"I don't know that they were ultimately happy with what they heard. They got, maybe, a better understanding of this man's beliefs. But as far as changing something, I'm not sure that happened."

Psst... Is Alice Dellal in at Agent Provocateur?
So it might not be Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for Agent Provocateur after all... This week's rumour is that Alice Dellal is Agent Provocateur's newest campaign model.
The 20-year-old model has reportedly been photographed in a secret photo-shoot due for release in September. So does this mean Kate Moss is about to be replaced for a second time?
"Everyone is stunned. Kate's shots were really well received, but bosses thought it time to move on," a source told The Sun.
"They want a fresh new face and think they've found just the candidate in Alice," the source added.
Whether or not this means that Moss is finally done at AP remains to be seen. She recently renewed her connection with the lingerie brand after landing a £500,000 deal to be the face of their bridal campaign. What it does appear is that AP's marketing gurus are brewing up a publicity storm right now.
Stay tuned!

Treats In The News
This place is amazing! When I first moved to Studio City about 3 years ago I needed to find a new place for my waxing needs. It can be hard to find a place you trust and feel comfortable enough at to get a Brazilian wax. Treats for the Face was an ideal find for me. I have never gone anywhere else again! Veronica is so great! Her waxing technique is virtually pain-less AND she is so incredibly nice and fun! Ashley, who works in the front, is so nice, friendly, and fun as well. Overall, Treats offers great quality services and an extremely positive and friendly environment. The prices are right on track with what I have paid for lesser quality services elsewhere. I whole heartedly recommend Treats for the Face for all your beauty needs.Marguerite Lambert, Studio City
Veronica is my girl. She's so professional, knowledgeable, wise and nice; she makes u feel so comfortable, always gives u great advices about beauty and life. She made my day today!! Love her!!!!Lucy Freile, Los Angeles

Whether it's a steaming cup of green or earl grey in the winter or a iced glass with lemon during the dog days of summer, there's nothing quite like tea. Sure I love the taste, but I also love the antioxidants and other body-benefiting ingredients that are packed into every little bag. But if you thought those ingredients only had advantages when consumed internally, you're about to discover a whole new way to benefit from what's inside a bag of tea.
This flowering herb makes a soothing perfect-at-bedtime tea. But the delicately scented, comforting herb also helps calm, balance and soothe the skin. You can buy it as a pure, essential oil (I love Primavera's biodynamic Roman Chamomile Essential Oil) or find it as a key ingredient in other organic products.
You'll find organic Chamomile oil in many of Erbaviva's products for baby. It's paired with Lavender oil to create a scent that helps soothe and relax your baby. And while I love all of the Erbaviva products, my current favorite is the all-natural Childrens Sunscreen SPF 15. It's perfect for the whole family, and is especially useful for adults with extra sensitive skin. The naturally moisturizing Baby Cream comes in at a close second.
Then we have Jurlique's Chamomile-Rose Hydrating Essence. It lightly hydrates while calming and soothing sensitive, irritated skin. Plus, it just feels indulgent, like a high-end spa treatment. You add 4-6 drops to a bowl of warm or hot water, saturate a soft cloth in the aromatic water and wrap it around your face and neck.
Black, Green and White Tea
Although the names would have you believe otherwise, these three teas actually come from leaves on the exact same plant (Camellia sinensis). The difference only comes in the processing phase. Black tea leaves are oxidized to bring out a full-bodied flavor and dark color. Green Tea isn't oxidized at all. And White Tea leaves come from tender new buds for the most delicate flavor of the three.
Pure, Camellia Seed Oil, like Primavera's organic version, is rich in essential fatty acids to restore elasticity and smoothness to dry, rough skin. It also soothes irritated skin and helps balance oil production and unclog pores for acne-prone skin. Quite the little miracle oil isn't it? Primavera Active Body Lotion uses Green Tea extracts to help nourish and protect the skin. I love the eye-opening scent of Ginger and Lime, which really helps wake me up on mornings I'd rather just crawl back into bed.
Dr. Hauschka's Volume Mascara and Translucent Face Powder Compact both contain Camellia sinensis extract to help soothe and protect. The silky soft powder naturally helps even out your complexion and banishes shine. Meanwhile, the amazing Volume Mascara conditions lashes while enhancing them for clump-free, dramatic volume.
The antithesis of soothing Chamomile, Peppermint stimulates the senses to refresh and reinvigorate. Peppermint tea is often used to help reduce nausea, and Primavera's organic Peppermint Oil can be used for just that. It's also perfect for headaches. One of my favorite products is the Primavera Clear Mind Aroma Roll-On. Made with 100% pure, natural essential oils, the tiny roll-on is perfect to stash in your bag or while traveling. It naturally helps soothe and clear the mind, and because it's natural yet powerful, the roll-on is my first defense against headaches.
Pangea Organics Indian Green Tea with Mint & Rose Petals Bar Soap may be a mouthful to say, but all of those yummy ingredients work together to create an amazing soap that's perfect for men and women. Each organic extract has natural healing properties to nourish skin, while invigorating the senses. And while you're in the shower condition and detangle hair with John Masters Organics Rosemary & Peppermint Detangler. Perfect for fine hair, it smoothes, strengthens and restores shine without weighing it down. Plus the combination of Rosemary and Peppermint wakens the senses better than a cup of coffee (well, almost).

Lexus sets high standards for the craftsmen behind the interior of the 2013 ES 350. Automotive News reports those responsible for stitching the leather on the sedan's instrument panel must first pass a simple test. Given a blank piece of paper, the applicants must construct an origami cat's head. No big deal, right? Not exactly. Lexus makes each worker fold the piece using one hand, whichever one happens to be their non-dominant. As if that weren't difficult enough, they have to do it in under 90 seconds.
That kind of manual dexterity is tricky to master. According to Automotive News, it can take years to become a Takumi, but the level of control is important for work typically relegated to mechanized hands.

- Melbourne is like Australia's little New York. It boasts chic café's, historical museums, impressive art galleries, talented musicals, and most importantly, it is the city that never sleeps. Especially with the cool climate, where rugging up in all your warm jackets and boots is a must, everyone, everywhere, is always on the move to that next Italian dinner reservation, or that new art exhibition in town. Journeying into Melbourne is a unique experience from any other city in Australia, as it's metro culture founded on all things fashion, entertainment, and food and wine is vastly different to other cities such as Sydney and Brisbane, who boast other cultures of surf and regional city-life. For some who enjoy warmer climates, it is best to stick to places which are hotter, but for those who don't mind getting caught in the rain as you walk by shops, with a latte in hand, than Melbourne is just the right place for you. Don't let it rain on your parade though, go out and shop til you drop at Bourke Street, which is known as the city's main shopping district, where all the big designer brands are located, or if you fancy something a bit more relaxed, you could take a walk around the botanical gardens and take some shots of the city's sky line from the steps of the Shrine of Remembrance. In terms of food and wine, the city is just crawling with restaurants, some hidden in tight candle-lit alleyways, some more out in the open to watch the sun set at 9 pm, or some are even taken on the dinner tram that circles around the city, so you can take in some sight seeing while you sip a Sauvignon Blanc. If you decide to visit some touristy attractions though, Melbourne boasts everything from the Melbourne Gaol, where legendary bush ranger and outlaw Ned Kelly was hanged, to the iconic Luna Park and the monumental Melbourne Flinders St. Station. The highlight of my trip to Melbourne though was the Melbourne Supper Club, renown for it's popularity with business people who use the club for connections over a glass of Port, or if your not a business person, you can still enjoy the intimate atmosphere of the terraced cafe overlooking the Parliament House.

Enhance the Attendee Experience - Add Value and Provide Exhibitor ROI
The single most important goal of all event managers is to provide all participants with a valuable experience.
Every thing they do — from every theme, to every action, to every detail - must be done with the goal of providing a truly valuable experience.
A recent industry survey of event executives revealed that creating value for participants was their most important goal — but so was cutting costs. With today's economic environment weighing heavily on most industries, creating added value and staying relevant is especially difficult.
Watch our video: Adding Value, Increasing ROI and Enhancing the Event Experience.
Exhibitors are responding to their own situation by going to fewer shows, taking smaller booths or canceling going altogether.
Smaller travel budgets mean attendees are also going to fewer shows, sending fewer people and spending fewer days.
Retrenching, scaling back and lowering expectations does not add value. What does add value to events is to recognize that above all else - an event is for business. There is one thing common to a large trade show with thousands of exhibitors or a professional event for education, certification and networking.
Everyone is there to do business or to earn a living.
Organizations who truly understand this can add tremendous value, especially in bad economies, by addressing this imperative head-on and becoming more attendee and exhibitor relevant.
You Are Here builds solutions that enable membership organizations to provide value to their entire audience today - be they attendees, exhibitors, buyers or sellers. By providing technology and services that enhance the act of connecting, we
- embrace and amplify the intentions of all participants;
- satisfy the goals of their behaviors;
- enhance the experience of the entire event and;
- provide sustainable value to all parties involved.
For attendees, an enhanced experience is provided by enabling them to express their intent either 'in the moment' on the show floor, anytime on the web, or anywhere on their mobile devices.
You Are Here on the Floor provides attendees with the information they need exactly when and where they need it most.
Web tools lets attendees choose how, when — and if — to engage.
- Decide what level of self-profiling they want to reveal – if any at all;
- Research exhibitors pre-show by visiting their micro-sites anonymously or opt-in to set up appointments;
- Plan agendas and decide beforehand how they will spend their time and maximize their productivity;
- Social-network with Social Badges used to communicate with friends and colleagues – and even to exhibitors;
- Recall and 'revisit' every booth they were scanned at with Crumb-Trails after the show.
You Are Here is both an experience and an environment that keeps the organization relevant to attendees well beyond the hall and well after the event.
For exhibitors, an enhanced experience is provided by enabling them to leverage their existing investments and activities that are core to the enterprise.
You Are Here provides an immersive, interactive environment that lets exhibitors:
- Better integrate 'events' into their overall marketing mix;
- Leverage creatives across multiple media types;
- Extend the event beyond the booth, the venue and the week;
- Realize longer, stronger amortization of advertising spending;
- Self-provision control of content and delivery of messages;
- Target attendees and measure results;
- Embrace and deploy social networking;
- Realize SEO benefits to their own websites;
- Get more leads;
- Get better-qualified leads;
- Share an ongoing advertising and communications platform with attendees.
You Are Here is both an experience and an environment that keeps the organization relevant to exhibitors well beyond the expo and well after the event.
Deliver Value Now
The organization that provides an enhanced experience today is the organization that will be rewarded with loyalty tomorrow.

Arvanitas' piano is always great, but we especially love the rhythm work here by bassist Jacky Samson and drummer Charles Saudrais – two amazing players who help Pepper find a groove on the record that's quite different than usual. The set begins with the 11 minute "Bossa Noveau" – a Brazilian-styled groover that reminds us a lot of the Samson/Saudrais work with Marco Di Marco and Chris Woods – and the same sort of vibe follows on the 17 minute "Min & Maj Blues" too. "Ephemera" and "Body & Soul" are a bit straighter, but totally great – and the CD also features the bonus track "Dear Old Stockholm". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I'll admit it: organizations and groups make it seem quick and easy to stop and prevent violence against women. There's no shortage of "here's what you can do" and "join us in the movement" calls to action on our websites. Volunteer, donate, participate, have some wine and cheese as we review current events related to the issue and inspire you. If only the world were willing to stop violence, we seem to say, we would make it happen.
I'm not sure if it's my crabby, thirty-something scepticism typing for me here, but I've come to wonder how easy it is to stop and prevent violence. The issue is so complicated at times. Is it truly a matter of willingness? For those of us who take the issue seriously, is what we're doing really effective? Is it just a matter of joining existing organizations or campaigns, or is it perhaps something more?
These days, I find myself pensive about it all. I won't pretend to have the right solutions but there are some things I've observed may actually have deeper impact than other things. I'd like to list them out here. Notice that they aren't contingent on organizations or formal movements.
Exerting influence wherever you have it
Joining a campaign, volunteering and donating to an organization or cause that deals with the issue are all important things, but they strike me as starting from "level one". In fundraising and sales, people talk about how it's much easier to get an existing donor or customer to give or buy than it is to get a new one. I can see how that logic might apply to preventing violence against women. It's easier to exert influence where you've already got it to make positive change than it is to try to break into a new realm.
Where do you have influence? Your family life, workplace, place of worship, neighbourhood, school? I don't think you have to be CEO or the student council president – where might you have some influence, or where might you be able to grow your tiny seed of influence? If you look at it from that perspective, you may find you have more potential impact than you think.
That's where you can get a little creative. For example, are you taking children out for trick-or-treating? How could you use that moment when you'd be going around your neighbourhood in any event? Could you hand out a flyer or even just communicated an upcoming event or action related to the issue?
At work, if you have a computer-desk job, could you ask permission to close your emails with a copy-and-paste "PS" line? PS: if you know a woman who is experiencing violence and needs help, tell her about The Assaulted Women's Helpline (1-866-863-0511 | 1-866-863-7868 TTY | #SAFE on your cell phone). If your job isn't very free-form and open, what quick things could you aim to do with co-workers during your breaks?
It takes thinking and some initiative. If you're only mildly motivated, it might be hard to get anywhere. But trying it out might be better than hoping that existing organizations and causes will one day break into the places where you have influence. Truth is, it's more effective for you to act in those spaces, however you can imagine doing so.
Asking questions … lots of 'em
Whenever I've done trainings with future volunteers, I've noticed there's anxiety about answering to people who may be resistant or at least misled about the facts. What if they fight me and say violence against women doesn't exist? What if they try to say it happens somewhere else but not here? What if they don't listen? It's not like I don't carry that anxiety too. If people are actively resistant and don't want to take it in, there's probably no way you could argue like a ninja and win them over. But it's been my experience that most people aren't trying to ignore the reality, there are just simultaneous motivating factors that run in the opposite direction.
This is where I've found that asking questions and genuinely attending to the answer can open a door for dialogue. You made a comment that women beat men up all the time. Tell me more about that. Authentic conversation – real asking and answering – may seem like a given but I'm often guilty of reactionary conversation where all I'm doing in a spar about the issue is waiting for a break to make my point.
Years back, I was co-facilitating a ReAct youth workshop on dating violence. It was with a group of about ten boys, and we showed a short video clip containing pictures of women who had been physically abused. Oh the horror for anyone who has facilitated these things – the boys began snickering at the sight of the battered women.
I got all sweaty and mad but my co-facilitator was brilliant. "Why were you guys laughing when you saw the women with black eyes and broken bones?" She asked a real question and properly listened to what they said. Turns out, they didn't find it all that funny, but laughing was a default. One said, "What did they do to make someone hurt them like that?" My co-facilitator said, "What do you think they did?" And we all eventually came to the conclusion that, no matter what, nothing justifies such punishment. What if she just reacted as I was tempted to do? Told them they were being jerks and gave up? There's no way that workshop would have made any useful impact.
Connecting with friends
People like that ReAct co-facilitator of mine are hard to come by – bold, sharp, personable and willing to take on anything and anyone. Most of us struggle to connect and, in this society, many of us don't even know the people we live beside. When I first moved into my place, I would wave to my neighbours and many would watch me with shock and puzzlement. It has gotten better but, yeah, I don't know most of their names.
Most of us do have friends and we can start there. We may not feel ready to become a volunteer peer counsellor for an abuse prevention phone line, but perhaps we could take two minutes out of a hangout with friends to share something we learned about abuse. And we could offer to share more if they're interested. I don't know if my friends are especially wonderful, but they love to chat about social issues. Just give them the opening. How about your friends?
Having those chats with friendly sources actually serve to embolden me to have conversations with less friendly sources. It serves a very tangible purpose.
I'm really interested in this subject. What do you think? Please do share your thoughts here, or you can feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Untrimmed Beef Brisket in Toronto
Hello everyone
The old thread on this subject seems to have died a few years ago with people checking back in every year so I'd like to get a newer updated list and prices for untrimmed beef brisket.
Looking for the whole brisket (flat and point). This may be referred to as a packer brisket, double, whatever.
It should have all the fat on it and not be lean. This will be for smoking. (burnt ends mmm)
Looking for cheapest and not necessarily best 'quality' (doesn't need to be organic, hormone free, etc etc.) Grocery store, or whole sale or even smaller markets are fine. I've been to a few places (costco, no frills, etc) and I can't seem to find a place that sells the whole brisket untrimmed for a reasonable price.
Looking for in Toronto closer to North York the better.
Any help would be great
You can check out Skyland at Lawrence and Scarboro Golf Rd. www.skylandfoodmart.com
They have a bin of packer briskets, usually AA from Excel, a Cargill division. Price is usually just over $3/lb, so each runs $22 to $38. There is a bin of about 12, over near the pickled pigs feet (yes, I enjoy this store!). My hit ratio for good Texas Q is about 70% here, as I learn how to pick a good piece.
re: jayt90
I have moved away from the GTA, and now use a small town butcher for occasional briskets. The quality has been excellent, and they can deliver exactly what I want. Sometimes I can even specify breed (prefer short stocky breeds such as true Aberdeen Angus). Price was $4-$4.50/lb. and they always need a week lead time. These local abattoirs deal with a lot of grass fed beef, and I find that to be ideal for brisket and front quarter cuts. It should be possible to pre-order from the farmers markets, if the vendor has a solid small town abattoir connection.
I bought a huge brisket (10 lbs at least) last spring at Globe Meats. It's a big wholesale-ish warehousey looking place around Finch and Weston Road. I can't remember what I paid but it was a good price and there was a LOT of meat to choose from. Seems to cater to a sausage-making crowd, with whole pork shoulders and other large cuts of meat.
Thanks for all the replies
Will give nortown, skyland, and globe (i think its' globel?) a try.
I have bought the whole brisket before from Highland Farms before..
I also think I might have got one from Fortino's before.
Sorry, forget the price...
I buy my briskets from European Quality Meats on Jutland. Comes cryovac'ed from the meat packer. Pricing varies as they don't have a SKU for this, you have to ask for them to get it in the back. They'll charge you "brisket point" pricing ($3.99/lb), and subtract either a dollar or two from that... depending what the staff feels like that day. Very inconsistent, very frustrating.
-I don't have a local butcher that I frequent as I get most of my prOteins from Costco or the Asia.n grocery stores. Could you recommend a good one in the north York area that has reasonable prices?
-do you know which highland? I find the stock is always diff store to store :/
-is this the Eqm that sold their space to sanagans meat locker?
re: gtaequivalent
I bought several cryovac brisket over the summer from European Meat on Jutland. It sells for $3.99/lb. I've been getting around the 12-16lb packages and smoke them for 8-9hrs and come out succulent! I've asked some co-workers and a Jewish co-worker mentioned that Costco actually carries them. Not very often but can request for it. Otherwise it looks like European Meat is your best bet on the westend anyway.
If anyone else knows of a cheaper place, please share. I've had quite a few orders for catering for my brisket that we're considering purchasing a larger smoker.
re: chiqchiq
I recently bought them at The Butcher Shoppe on Shorncliffe for $3.50/lb
They told me this was expensive as it was the Jewish holidays. They usually have them at $2.99/lb. Was very satisfied with the meat - we smoked it too!
re: shms
Globe Meats has briskets every week and i know they take special orders. Have you tried making the request to have one cut with more fat on it? I spoke to the head butcher and he was very knowledgeable to help with my questions and helped me when i wanted to make my own bacon from a pork belly they sold. I smoked it and it came out to perfection. That guy is there basically everyday 7 days a week.
re: Quikfest
I have bought a whole brisket from Nortown in the past. It wasn't cheap, but I had a good chat with the butcher and he brought out a few briskets still in the cryovac packaging and helped me pick a winner. It was so succulent when cooked that the point fell apart into pulled brisket, while the flat was still sliceable, barely. Decadent.
Most of the Nortown customers want no more than 1/4 inch of fat left on and many want the leaner flat portion, so the butchers typically trim most of the fat cap off of the briskets that are on display.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Love the staff at the school. Always willing to speak with you about what is going on if there are issues and problem solve with you to find a solution. Many go above and beyond what is expected of them. Although there is always room for improvement with any school/business, I feel Maryville is one of the better schools in our district.
My child is doing very well at her school. I love the teachers and staff. She is reading so well and a grest speller!
Maryville is the perfect fit for my children. From the office staff to the teachers, they are all very caring individuals. My children love to go to school and my youngest will attend in a couple years. We have been wanting to move, but Maryville School is the one reason we have not moved. I want my youngest to be able to have the experience that my other two have had and are still having.
Maryville is one of the best schools I have ever been in. My family moved her from out of state and this little school has been wonderful for me and my children. I feel that the staff truly care for my children and my concerns. I am so thankful that my three children attend Maryville Ellementary. We have desired to move but do not want to move out of the Maryville area because of this school!! Mr. Cowan, I am forever grateful for the great school you lead!! Keep up the great work!
I thnk Maryville is the best school ever. I have 3 kids who 2 of them went through maryville and now are at Zoneton and i still have one at maryville. All my children have been given exceptional care and educational needs there. We have been wanting to move but the only thing that stops us is the school system. Maryville makes parents feel important and keeps us involved at all times. They really care about the children there as well as the communuty. They have the best teachers who are very caring. The P.E. teacher has brought so many opportunies to this school he is great. Thanks Maryville and keep up the good work. Mr. Minnis you are Great!
Maryville is an awesome School. I have had both of my children go through Maryville and they got the education I would like for them to have to prepare them for the world. Now I am working at Maryville and I am proud to be a part of a wonderful school.
Maryville Elementary School has been the best school yet I have seen for my kids. I have 2 that go there now and when I move I plan to stay within the area so they can continue to go there and so that my youngest will be able to attend as well. The teachers work with them and challenge their minds and I think that is a marvelous job they are doing. Keep up the good work Maryville.

A word from Esquire Tavern
Located in the heart of downtown, The Esquire Tavern is the oldest bar on the San Antonio Riverwalk, opened the year, month and day that Prohibition was repealed. Tending bar in the early days was a highly prized and much sought after craft. Bar keeps then created many of their own syrups, mixes and concoctions and used the freshest of juices with the intention of serving the best products. We at the Esquire have taken a serious approach to the old world of bartending and spun it with a modern twist. Combining classic techniques and new world flavors and culinary concepts, our goal is to lead and set San Antonio's emerging cocktail culture on the map.Continued

Justin's ice cream was delicious (it reminded me of Cold Stone Creamery). The dates tasted a bit exotic, but when mixed with the ice cream it was good. The booth seats run parallel to the bar so there's a activity as people walk by your table.

- EnthusiasticSCTheresaDined on 10/30/2014The staff take pride in the food and beverage and their descriptions make me want to try it all.Special Features:
- foodlove2eatDined on 10/21/2014The restaurant is nice place but too dark you can't read the menu at all. Our alcoholic drinks we ordered we did not like. The Sea of Confusion drink I had ordered was horrible. It would be nice that with the sandwich that we had ordered that fries or cole slaw came with it. Too much money for what you get. The house salad that was served was good. My mom ordered the shrimp toast and liked that a lot. The bbq pulled pork sandwich was good. The hamburger my husband ordered he did not like. My dad ordered the steak with garlic over it and he liked it but a bit too fatty.
- Riverwalk diningFancynancyDined on 10/19/2014This is a great find on san Antonio's riverwalk. It has a great history - opening the year prohibition ended. Old fashioned light fixtures with a dark bar and interior lend to its charm. Excellent cocktail menu and eclectic menu with items from deviled eggs and fried pickles for appetizers to short ribs empanada and pimento cheese sandwich. Service was excellent - knowledgeable, timely and attentive. Highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not for everyonewillywonkaDined on 10/19/2014While the food was amazing and service was great we did have undercooked chicken that took two redos to correct and the lighting in the place is not for those who have visual restrictions. Other than that our server was really good and the beer selection was amazing. My only peeve was that they didn't comp the drinks or the meal for my friend when they gave him under cooked chicken which he alresdy bit into and it remained undercooked on the second go. Required a third new chicken to finally get it right.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A San Antonio Gemssbn626bDined on 10/18/2014San Antonio's oldest bar is full of history, but also a great burger. Not sure why it has to be so dark, made it very difficult to see the menu. Good local beers on tap, and we had a great time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really Enjoyed Our Meal at EsquireMagnolia61VIPDined on 10/18/2014We had reservations and were seated promptly by a very friendly hostess. We tried their Gin Shrubby Collins and liked the drink very much. We weren't thrilled with the Texas Onion Dip, but loved the bacon cheeseburger (grilled to medium, as requested, and a generous amount of bacon, smoked gouda and aioli put it over the top), their lamb chili, and a chicken curry dish with whipped sweet potatoes. My youngest son got a St. Arnolds Root Beer float - a basic dessert - but he was very happy with it and finished it right up. Very relaxed, warm, old-style atmosphere. Only small cons... parking was difficult and the Texas Onion Dip tasted like dry onion soup mix stirred into sour cream. Otherwise we loved Esquire Tavern.Special Features:
- Fun placetxbobbieDined on 10/13/2014A couple of girlfriends and I went here to check it out and see what all the talk was about and it was awesome! We sat outside and enjoyed the great weather, the drinks were amazing and the meat loaf sandwiches were really, really good! The service wasn't as friendly as it could have been but we did move our table to outside and had a couple of special requests (which were granted). We will definitely be back!Special Features:
- Fantastic Local Beer and FoodfoodcouplewilltravelDined on 10/8/2014The atmosphere was amazing, and the draft beer list was incredible. The food is all locally sourced, and they served the best fried pickles I have ever had. It was a great mix of classic and different food, and I would suggest this place to just about anyone. The service was a little on the 'upscale' impersonal style, but still really nice and informative.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Cocktailsnotafan1234Dined on 10/6/2014The cocktails were extremely well done. The waiter knew the details of each concoction, and make very good recommendations. The food is not to be overlooked. Very interesting combinations, and a nice selection of appetizers. A great way to go if you're with a group is to order a variety of things from the menu and share. The food is heavy and filling, so ordering the traditional appetizer, main for everyone is a lot of food! And you do want time to enjoy/sip those cocktails! Also be sure the catch the view from the river. It's a really great old building with the old facade architecture being well preserved.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/5/2014Took out of town guests that were here for a conference. Both enjoyed the wine, apps, and main courses. Gave them a little history of the bar and they thouroughly enjoyed the ambiance.Special Features:
- Good service, disappointing menuowenwmDined on 10/3/2014My friend and I really enjoyed the scene, and I had looked up the menu online and already knew what I wanted to order, only to find out that only the late night menu was available at the time of our arrival. Considering there was no indicator on the menu as to when the "late night" menu became the only available one, we found this frustrating. To further our disappointment, the 2 items we wanted most on the late night menu were both sold out. Though what we did end up selecting were both good, and the fried pickles were incredibly delicious, I think our experience would have been much better if the menu was clear about the late night menu times and the two best items on said late night menu(served until 1am) were not sold out by 10:45pm.Special Features:
- BetsyDined on 9/27/2014The cocktails were interesting and the food was well prepared. We'll definitely go back.Special Features:
- Historic BarPhillyexpatsVIPDined on 9/25/2014When visiting S.A. we had dinner at this old "dive" bar because it was advertised as the oldest. Pulled pork sandwich with pickles was delicious. It is extremely dark and, indeed, old looking inside. Good place for the curious, but not an elegant dining experience. Server was charming, knowledgeable and efficient.Special Features:
- So...RicCDined on 9/23/2014Great food. I just wish I could have seen what I was eating. The restaurant is lit like a damp cave! They need to give their food a little more credit and up the wattage on those "Edison-esque" light bulbs. Other than that, service was excellent!Special Features:
- Lots of atmosphereSadderbudweiserDined on 9/23/2014Great bar/tavern with a friendly staff. Service was great, waitress was attentive without hovering. This is a great place to bring an out of town guest for a taste of nostalgia on the river walk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Big Bar!!FriendofFoodDined on 9/21/2014Great food and awesome drinks!! Very cool atmosphere! Wife and I liked it so much we brought 14 other people back the next day!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- EsquireOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/20/2014Great place to grab some drinks at the bar or have dinner and get the ribeye. The bison burger was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A must dine experience....NomnomnomDined on 9/12/2014I am already looking forward to my next dining experience at The Esquire. The food was absolutely amazing and full of flavor. I fell in love with the atmosphere... Dimly lit and romantic but not over the top. The wait staff knew exactly when to check on us. I also enjoyed their very unique drink menu. A perfect dining experience!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great locationRalf100Dined on 9/9/2014Good food, good drinks, great location, will come back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food. Not so great for groupsOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/9/2014Limited seating for groups and it is VERY dark inside. However, the food is fantastic!Special Features:
- yummmmmDined on 9/6/2014For how uppity the Riverwalk restaurants can be, this is amazing food in a prime location at a great price, and although I am a super foodie I am young so money doesn't grow on trees for me yet! I had the bacon cheeseburger and it was so gourmet trading, fried pickles which were so good we got a 2nd order, and I don't even like pickles! And although the drinks are $10 they are worth every penny because they are 100% alcohol! Finally so cute inside and awesome helpful service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful food, service not greatMeghanswtDined on 9/6/2014Good: Food, drink, ambiance, location are wonderful!! Fresh ingredients. Had deviled eggs, ceviche, pimento cheese sandwich. Cool environment and hip without being stuffy. Bad: I reserved a table "next to the tv for the UT football game", online and by phone and it was confirmed. I was taking my brother & girlfriend out. We were seated in a booth by the tv, but I was told by staff another patron asked for a diff game first. I get it (sort of) but the staff didn't seem concerned. This shortened our visit & money spent so we could seek out a diff place to watch the game. Our waitress was amazingly uninterested & looked bored. Really puts a damper on things. I would go back for a diff server with no expectations as far as requests.Special Features:
- Perfect for guests in townDocMilnerVIPDined on 9/6/2014We were tired of taking our visitors to our favorite Mexican restaurants for a SATX experience. Someone suggested Esquire and we were very pleased! I will say, the 'spicy' food has been pretty toned down for out-of-towners but the cocktails were outstanding. The service was very personal and we never wanted for anything.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful experiencebvdeezyDined on 8/31/2014For cocktails we tried the French 75, Pimm's Cup and Brown Derby. We loved all of them and they are served very nicely. For food, we started with the deviled eggs. We preferred them without the pink peppercorns but still enjoyed them very much. They were already out of quite a few entrees but our choices did not disappoint. We had the Shrimp Toast and the Pork Loin. The shrimp toast was a surprising treat and was sooooo good with the goat cheese and jelly! The pork and potato salad were nicely done and the mole was unique and delicious! Our server was fantastic and offered good advice with the menu options. The atmosphere is great and we had such a fun evening!Special Features:
- Excellant Dining Experience.JohnMcCDined on 8/27/2014My third time to dine and drink here in 1.5 years, traveling to San Antonio from the East coast. Initially discovered The Esquire by accident, walked in on a hot day in July, fell in love with the ambiance, then the beer and informed service, and then later several excellent meals. This last time I brought my hard to please brother-sisters-in-law on a Wednesday night and had a delightful meal, great service by Brandt, and favorable reviews by all. Will always recommend this unique Tavern, the great beer selection, delicious food and lovely ambiance to anyone visiting San Anyone!Special Features:
- Service was horrible!IjistwantfoodDined on 8/22/2014They ignored our reservation, when we went to they gave our table up and where rude to us. They didn't find a quick solution, knowing that they made a mistake. Need to learn to try to make an effort to something. They could've asked to split us up, 4 at a table and 2 somewhere else!Special Features:
- excellent food good atmosphereBogeyDined on 8/20/2014Really unique food items on menu. Ecletic crowd. Grest experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hole in the WallMandMDined on 8/19/2014Esquire is a unique find: hole in the wall appearance with decent ambience. They're known for their drinks, but the drinks were mediocre. Service wasn't great - the whole meal took 3 hours, with huge lags between courses. Food was pretty good, though. Good after worth place to grab a drink, possibly listen to live music, and eat good appetizers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014Wonderful environment, great service, tasty food. We will be back again soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great historic bar!travel4foodDined on 8/15/2014Great historic bar with a warm fun vibe! The food is made with local organic produce & sustainably raised meats. It's prepared and presented beautifully, an unexpected find in a bar. The margaritas rank up there with the best ice ever had & the wine list, while small, is very good. The servers are very knowledgable & work hard to ensure a great experience. Favorite menu option- the bison burger! Yum!!!Special Features:
- Retep2BeratedDined on 8/2/2014Tried Esquire by chance and found it to be a hidden gem on the Riverwalk. They certainly know how to make a good drink and the food is great. The Manager and Assistant Manager came over and introduced themselves. Went back a second time and it was just as good.Special Features:
- Historic and Wonderful!Jsc5264Dined on 8/2/2014We ate here on a Yelp recommendation - it was a great pick! We took a boat tour of the River Walk just before dinner and were delighted to discover our tour ended right in front of the Tavern. Great service, great food, wonderful ambiance - will definitely return the next time we're in San Antonio. The owner and staff are all delightful. Our cab driver shared even more history on the Esquire Tavern on the way back to our hotel - HIGHLY Recommend!!!!Special Features:

Moto Guzzi's Norge tourer gets a makeover for 2011. Now called the Norge GT 8V, it has a new chassis, body panels and the latest evolution of the Italian firm's eight valve engine, replacing the old two-valve motor. It also comes with an impressive array of goodies, all included in the price too. It's as comfortable as ever with a ...

The Yamaha XT660Z Tenere is a great value, superbly capable adventure bke with real off road capability. Global treks aren't really on the cards as the Yamaha XT660Z Tenere's vibey single cylinder engine makes hard work of pulling its 185kg dry weight. Useful touches such as the durable crash panels and front towing hoop put it in a class of ...

The Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace started out as Yamaha's last throw of the old school superbike dice, and resulted in the final incarnation of the FZR1000 EXUP. But ironically the Thunderace has proved to be a better big bore sports touring motorcycle than out-and-out superbike – albeit a humungously fast one. If you like your superbikes big and brash and with room ...

The Honda CB750 F2 is not the most exciting motorcycle to leave the Honda factory but a competent, comfortable cruising motorcycle nonetheless. Adequate suspension, good riding position, top brakes and a strong engine are plus points but the Honda CB750 F2 is let down by average handling and a lack of real zest. Sadly, rather boring.
1064cc, 91bhp, 135mph, Insurance group 13
The V11 is something of an oddball in Moto Guzzi recent history, but one actually gaining in appeal and charm. The first Moto Guzzi V11 was launched in 1999 and was a worthy, good–looking if heavy roadster using Moto Guzzi's traditional and characteristic transverse 1100 V-twin shaft mated to a raft of top spec cycle parts yet let down by equally ...

The Kawasaki GPZ1100 is more sporty tourer than sports tourer. Launched with zero cutting edge technology but a honking great engine with a hearty midrange that makes rapid riding easy. On the spec sheet the Kawasaki GPZ1100 is an overweight dinosaur but on the road it's actually a great machine. Just don't go chasing the latest GSX-Rs on a twisty road.

This is the latest in a long, long line of Ducati 750SS which date back to the early 1970s (think Paul Smart). The most recent version of the Ducati 750SS is not a bad all-round motorcycle, and the fuel injection's a marked improvement, but it's hard work and a lot of money for not, perhaps, quite enough reward. One for the fans?

You can surprise a few four cylinder sportbike owners on the 1100 Sport, but you have to really work hard at the job, and the bottom line is that the 1100 Sport is too heavy, too old fashioned for seriously fast motorcycling. Trackdays often end in tears.

System hangs on shutdown
Hi people.
Ive just put together a new system and installed windows 7 (clean). It hangs probably 1 in ten shutdowns, when it hangs at the same time a fan goes into overdrive and sounded like it was ready to take off, I've discovered that this is the graphics card fan and it does it everytime it hangs. I have had no other problems with the graphics card.
I have not overclocked anything and below is my set up.
