WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! – No one should ever go through this type of experience.
Although I encountered many problems throughout my visit, I do not want to waste any ones time. Let me just say that I was at the Firebird to watch the NFL games and I neither received anything I ordered on time or accurate. My waitress was not very attentive and I had to search for her each time I wanted something. Each time, she was at the server station on her phone texting. After 6 hours of this, I became a bit upset and asked for my bill. When she came back, I gave her my card and she authorized it. I then asked to speak with management.
Manager #1:
The first manager immediately offered me a $20 discount on my next visit. He did not ask me if I had a problem or not. $20 off may seem like a fair resolution for someone with half the amount of problems that I encountered or that planned on returning. I declined his offer and asked if there was something that he could do about my current visit. He said that he will be right back.
Manager #2:
The second manager, who was the GM, had a whole different approach. This man came to my table, put his fist down, and said that I needed to pay my bill and leave or he was going to call the police! It is his job to listen to guests, hear out there concerns and find resolutions. I was doing him a favor by telling him all of the problems I encountered. When I tried to explain to him of my service he then signaled the bartender to call the police. I then told him that I was not doing anything wrong and I had a bad experience with my service. He then looked at the server and asked her very threatening if she was going to pay my bill because of her service. She then said, well I didn't do my best. I then spoke up and said that I didn't think that was right that she should pay my bill. The GM said then this bill must be paid. The GM didn't care about me, nor did he care about his employee, and obviously he did not care about any of the other customers in the restaurant. I have been thinking this whole week that I caused the biggest scene of my life at this restaurant, but after some time to ponder what happened, it wasn't me causing the scene, it was the GM. I'm certain that everyone in the restaurant could hear us going back and forth. After about ten minutes of getting nowhere with the GM, I decided to leave. At this point I had had enough and just wanted to go home. When I tried to walk out the GM got in my way and told me I couldn't leave. He literally stood in my way and put his hand on my chest and held me back from leaving. I told him very sternly that I was leaving and he needed to get out of my way. He remained in my way and said that I was not allowed to leave until my bill was paid for. I then told him that I had already paid my bill prior to him arriving and that he needed to step to the side so that I could leave. He then looked over at the waitress who confirmed it. I then left the restaurant.
When I was finally allowed to leave the police were outside. I took 2 steps outside and they asked me to speak with them. I was asked if I had a problem tonight with this restaurant. I then told them I did. I had a bad experience and asked to speak to management who told me I needed to pay my bill or else and leave. I told the police that I have paid my bill and I am very upset by this and all I want to do is go home and go to bed. They listened to my problems, asked me if I was okay to go home. They then let me leave. The police acted with more hospitality than the GM did!
I used to manage a restaurant and I appreciate when guests speak up about their service. In trying to speak up about my service at the Firebird, I was almost arrested. I am very thankful that the police approached my problems with an open mind and did not immediately assume I did something wrong like the GM did. Bottom-line, don't express your concerns if you choose to dine here, you might spend a night in jail for it!
A Bit Overrated – Unfortunately, my experience was not a great as the other posters. My mother and I chose this restaurant after reviewing their menu online and comparing it to other places in the Dunwoody/Sandy Springs area. She's not big on fancy restaurants so she picked this place since it's a sports bar.
We had to seat ourselves which was not a problem, however, no one acknowledge our presence and I had to get up to go get menus from a server. There was another party that came in after us; however, they were greeted & served before us. We were 2 tables down from them near the entrance.
The waitress was completely rude, but it definitely was not a warm, inviting welcome. It was a very dry greeting that we received and it was obviously she didn't want to be there or serve us. It was almost like we were wasting her time and it was very quick "hi-bye-here's your food-bye!" Since we looked at the menu online, we had an idea of what we wanted, so it wasn't like we were being picky, indecisive patrons that would understandably ignore someone. I've worked in the service industry & as a someone who LOVES to go to eat, those types of people ignore me.
The food wasn't terrible but it definitely did not live up our expectations from their website. I think my mother had the Fried Shrimp Plate and it look pitiful. I had the Veggie Wrap which was a disappointing. They didn't taste sauteed - more like cooked frozen veggies, very bland and I didn't taste the cheese. I love fries; however, their fries were bad. They were comparable to McDonalds & Wendy's and I'm not very big on fast food. It's like they just grabbed some cheap frozen food, warmed it up, and tossed it on a plate. The servings were minimal. If you're looking for healthy servings and really consistent service I would recommend Sandy Springs Dinner because they are a small spot but the food, serve, serving are outstanding! We didn't order any drinks but another table did and they looked like they were enjoying them.
The atmosphere in Firebird was a little dead, especially for a Saturday. The only good thing about the place is the small TVs at the tables, but I would rather watch one TV with other patrons in a crowded bar and get better service & food.
I was really hoping this would be a pleasant experience so I could return with some friends and co-workers because we are kind of getting bored with our usual spots. I live and work in this Perimeter area and this would have been a very good spot to meet up with people; however I will not be returning or recommending this place because it was not up to par.
Love the Wings! – The patio with a few freinds wathcing the big screen. It is very comfortable.
Great Patio! – I have been to Firebird several times and each time has been a great experience. The staff at Firebird are super friendly which is a big seller for me. Firebird has a great drink selection and a really fun ladies' night, too. My favorite thing on the menu is their mandarin orange and Georgia pecan salad. Putting some warm, pulled rotisserie on top makes it even tastier.
Definitely check it out. It's hard to find a nice place to hang out these days that's reasonably priced and not pretentious at the same time. The patio will be awesome during the football season!
Exceptional food AND every game on planet earth!!! – First went with friends and was impressed with the quality of the food. BIG wings with unique flavors for the adventurous types, as well as traditional flavors for the more conservative eaters. We also had ribs and sliders which were both exceptional. I'm not the healthiest eater, but I did noticed a lot of salad choices and a seared tuna dinner, among many other "non bar food" choices. As a group, we were impressed that going out for a beer and some baseball turned into a pleasant dining experience.
I couldn't help but return for my next wing craving and figured I'd go alone and see if I could find some baseball fans to watch the games with. The food was very consistent, very good. People in the bar area were open to conversation. It just felt comfortable. I got some good sports talk out of my system and eventually left happy once again.
I gotta say, this is my favorite place to watch college football, mlb, and nfl. If I lived in the immediate area, I'd go everyday. Unfortunately I only make it there every couple of weeks or so and have yet to be disappointed. If you're reading this and you want great food at good prices, I would highly recommend you try it at least once. If you are any kind of sports fan, you'll be glad you did!
Awesome place for drinks and food after work! – I have lived in Atlanta for 2 years now and love going Firebird. It has a great mixture of people so you if you don't like one conversation just move to the next table. The drinks there are priced great and the staff is really nice and on top of the orders all the time. I love going on thursdays because it seems that is when people always go for happy hour and there is a great crowd to mingle with. Finally the food. I would put Firebird's food in my top 3 of restaurant/bar combos. Always prepared perfect and usually comes out fast! I absolutely give firebird 5 stars!!!!
Great place to eat! – Working right around the corner, I have been here many times for lunch, happy hour, and diner. They have an awesome food selection that tastes great. never had anything bad on the menu. The beer selection is also very good. The staff that works here rocks as well, very friendly!
Great Food – I have been to Firebird several times for lunch and dinner. The patio they have is amazing, PERFECT for big events/b day parties/ office parties etc... There food is also fantastic! I have to say their ranch wings and ranch chicken tenders are the best in town! Happy hour is always affordable also! 5 stars!
Editorial Review by Jonathan Baker – Don't let the chicken/sports combo fool you, this bar gets cranking with late night eats, adult trivia and live music.

Local hardware stores see a rush of sales in shovels and snow blowersFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- It's been an off and on season for MAC's Hardware.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- It's been an off and on season for MAC's Hardware.
But now, with winter weather heading our way, everyone is stocking up. This is all that's left inside the store in Fargo. Just a line of snow blowers and a rack of shovels.
In the last month, the manager says they've sold hundreds of shovels, nearly selling out each week.
Chad Stelljes with Mac's Hardware says, "some of our shovels are, we are waiting for our shipment on Monday and stuff. So, hopefully the other shovels, we'll be able to sell them as well until we can get the other stock in."
The hardware store tells us they've sold more shovels than snow blowers. But they do have enough to get us through this blizzard.

text: A musician since age 6, Gendreau went along to work with several group organizations, culminating in Crawling With Tarts (1983-1998), and using this group as a medium (along with the various uses made of it by co-founder Suzanne Dycus) for work in elementalism, attention to temporal and environmental persistence, and eventually, applications of parataxis. These final studies included the use of small motors and turntable mechanisms, mostly performing with one-off transcription discs cast by others in the middle of the last century, or cut in Gendreau's studio using a decrepit lathe. More recently, in composition and performance, Gendreau has sought to enlarge these later studies, adding physical parameters of performance spaces (as a point of reference, based on studies in physics completed in 1989 and current work as an acoustician-primarily working on low-vibration design in buildings and noise impact to optical research apparatus in the infrasonic to audible frequency range) as a language within the paratactic structures that form his compositions.

What exactly does a debt-laden, politically dysfunctional major economy have to do to get a ratings downgrade around here?
In 2011, the U.S. earned the ignominious distinction of being the first of several post-financial crisis era economies to be stripped of a triple-A credit rating. Yet since then, Washington has lurched from one budget crisis to the next, with no plan for arresting the growing federal debt burden.
In spite of those factors, the ratings agency triumvirate of Moody's, Fitch and Standard & Poor's — the only firm to actually mete out a U.S. downgrade thus far — have been strangely reluctant to pull the trigger on another ratings cut.
Even still, America's problems — including political paralysis, oceans of red ink and stunted growth — are mounting.
The refusal to cut the U.S. again is curious, given that the Sword of Damocles has already fallen on both Britain and France — the euro zone's second-largest economy, which has been downgraded on two separate occasions by two different ratings firms.
(Read More: France Is Dealt Another Downgrade — Who Is Next?)
Adding insult to injury, both countries have forced through tough budget-tightening measures. The U.S.'s only brush with austerity has come via the automatic budget cuts that finally took effect with Friday's sequester.
Some might argue that the world's largest economy either has the luck of the Irish (who incidentally, have also been slapped with ratings cuts), or that ratings agencies are deliberately sparing their rod — perhaps in fear of retaliation from U.S. authorities.
(Read more: US Sues S&P Over Mortgage-Bond Ratings)
This week, Fitch gingerly sidestepped the issue of what it would take to trigger a downgrade. A top official told CNBC that more fiscal gridlock in Washington wouldn't necessarily a precursor for a ratings cut – even if it resulted in a government shutdown.
"The failure to reach agreement on a continuing resolution to keep the government operating clearly would be sort of a negative signal," David Riley, global managing director of sovereign ratings at Fitch in an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street."
A potential shutdown like the 1995 standoff "in itself it doesn't threaten the capacity of the Treasury," Riley explained. "It would be short-lived…it wouldn't be good, but in itself it wouldn't trigger a downgrade from Fitch." The agency still rates the U.S. at triple-A.
Still, it may be only a matter of time before the sands of time run out on the U.S.'s credit rating. In a separate opinion this week, Fitch warned that a failure to hike the statutory debt ceiling could finally trigger a downgrade.
And in a carefully worded opinion last month, Moody's said it was "still too early to tell when a clearer picture of the medium-term deficit and debt trajectories will emerge, but we will reassess the rating (Aaa negative) during the course of this year."
Moody's added: "An agreement that arrests and ultimately reverses the debt trajectory would support a return to a stable outlook."
Yet consensus on federal spending is a tall order, considering that Congress and the White House than can barely agree on the time of day, let alone agree how to slice a $16 trillion debt burden.
Even the boundless patience of the ratings agencies may have its limits. Fitch's Riley implied that a concrete plan to reduce deficits was a linchpin to keeping its top rating.
"If you can't do a deal in 2013, when will a deal be done?" he asked. "Further delays in reaching agreement in reducing the deficit would just imply a bigger deficit and higher debt going forward."

"These cards far exceeded my expectations!! The color is bright, vibrant and just a lot of fun!! Very high quality! I will certainly be ordering again in the future!!"
"I can not tell you how cute this card is! As soon as we received them from Tiny Prints we wrote thank you notes to the grandparents and cousins for my son's easters gifts. My family loved the cards as well! They too thought they were the cutest things ever!!"
"I just love this note card. I purchased this to write thank you notes for my son who is having a truck birthday party. I was pleasantly surprised at the quick delivery and quality of the paper. Once again tiny prints does not disappoint!"
"I love the personalization! I wanted Thank You cards that didn't actually have Thank You printed on them just in case we have to send a note for other reasons. The editing tool allowed me to ditch the Thank You and just have my son's name printed on the card. I love it and it matches the theme we have for his 2nd Birthday!"

Drifloon is often overshadowed by Misdreavus and Gastly as Little Cup's offensive Ghost-type Pokemon, and with only base 34 Defense and base 44 Special Defense, Drifloon is extremely frail. Ghost / Flying is not the best defensive typing either, making Drifloon weak to common Dark-, Ghost-, Ice-, and Electric-type moves. In addition, Stealth Rock strips off 25% of Drifloon's health every time it switches in, decreasing its already short lifespan. Despite all of this, Drifloon does have its merits. It has a wonderful ability—Unburden—that it can utilize with the new item, Flying Gem. The Gem not only doubles Drifloon's Speed after it has been used up, but also powers up Acrobatics to a sky-high 247 Base Power (factoring in STAB and Acrobatics's effect). Drifloon is also very fast, reaching 17 Speed with maximum investment. This allows it to outspeed any Pokemon in LC after the Unburden boost. For these reasons, Drifloon is an underestimated sweeper that should always be taken into consideration.
This is, without a doubt, Drifloon's most effective set. It utilizes Drifloon's fantastic Unburden ability to become a fast, dangerous sweeper. Not only does Flying Gem boost Drifloon's Speed, it also makes Acrobatics (which is already fearsome as it is only resisted by Steel-, Electric-, and Rock-type Pokemon, all of which are relatively uncommon) an extremely powerful attack, boosting its Base Power to 247. Even after the Gem's boost has been used, Acrobatics still hits fairly hard with a Base Power of 165 (STAB included). Shadow Ball is a great secondary STAB, having a pretty wide neutral coverage in conjunction with Acrobatics.
The choice between the two types of Hidden Power is up to you. Hidden Power Ice hits Murkrow, Drilbur, and Dragon-types, such as Axew and Dratini, for super effective damage, whereas Hidden Power Fire OHKOes Ferroseed and deals heavy damage to Bronzor and Pawniard. Destiny Bond and Will-O-Wisp are used to play mind-games against Sucker Punch users such as Stunky, as Sucker Punch will only activate if Drifloon uses an attacking move. Destiny Bond is usually the superior option because Drifloon will most of the time lose against these Pokemon, and can use this opportunity to take the foe down with it. Will-O-Wisp, however, can be used to cripple Pokemon such as Mienfoo and Stunky before starting the sweep, or maybe even during it.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
The goal of this set is fairly simple: switch into something that Drifloon is likely to force out (such as Mienfoo), and set up a Substitute. If Drifloon is faster, set up Calm Mind to get some Special Attack and Special Defense boosts, and if not, set up Substitute. The key for sweeping with this set is setting up Substitutes until Oran Berry is activated, thus activating Unburden for the Speed boost. A Drifloon with an Unburden boost and a few boosts in Special Attack and Special Defense is not easy to face, and it has a great chance to sweep if it's behind a Substitute. To demonstrate Drifloon's power, after it has achieved two Special Attacks boosts, it deals a minimum damage of 76.19% to Mienfoo—one of the most dominant offensive threats in Little Cup—with Shadow Ball. Hidden Power Fighting's coverage in conjunction with Shadow Ball is perfect, but Thunderbolt is usually stronger, hitting Pokemon such as Murkrow or Omanyte harder.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Explosion can be used to go out with a bang, but Destiny Bond and Will-O-Wisp are usually the better options to play mindgames against Sucker Punch users. Hypnosis puts the foe to sleep, but its shaky accuracy does not make it a viable move. Sucker Punch can be used to hit priority users before they hit you, nullifying the opponent's Sucker Punch or taking some of the foe's health away before Drifloon is KOed, but most of these priority users (such as Croagunk, Houndour, and Stunky) resist Sucker Punch. Hidden Power Fighting has perfect coverage with Shadow Ball, but it's not going to do significant damage to most threats. Thunder Wave and Toxic can also be used over Will-O-Wisp, but Will-O-Wisp's support is more needed for this set to weaken physical priority attacks such as Sucker Punch. If Snover is present in your team, Weather Ball can replace Hidden Power Ice, saving the Hidden Power for another type. Substitute can be used to block status and Sucker Punch.
Drifloon does not have many other options, unfortunately. A set with a combination of Rest and a Chesto Berry can also be used to utilize Unburden, but it is not bulky enough to make an efficient use of this combo. Baton Pass can be used on the SubCM set to pass the Calm Mind boosts to a special sweeper such as Misdreavus and Abra. Charge Beam can also be used to raise Drifloon's Special Attack, but it has a chance of missing, and doesn't boost Drifloon's Special Defense, making it an inferior option. Clear Smog or Haze can be used to cancel any boosts the opponent has collected, but only works effectively against rare Baton Pass teams. Hidden Power Ground can be used to OHKO Magnemite and hit Chinchou and Stunky harder, but the coverage it has with Shadow Ball is underwhelming compared to Drifloon's other moves. Memento can be used to utilize Drifloon's respectable Speed, allowing another sweeper to set up safely. Stockpile can be used to stack Defense and Special Defense boosts, but as said, Drifloon is just not bulky enough. Focus Sash, however, can make use of Drifloon's frailness, as after its been used Drifloon's Speed will double due to Unburden.
Checks and Counters
Dark-types such as Stunky, Pawniard, Murkrow, and Houndour in general are Drifloon's biggest enemies. Most of them use Eviolite as their item, which makes them very bulky, and they also usually pack STAB priority in Sucker Punch. In general, a great way to counter Drifloon would be by using priority attacks, as it is weak to common priority attacks such as Snover's Ice Shard and Croagunk's Sucker Punch. Magnemite and Chinchou resist Acrobatics due to their Electric typing, and can retaliate with their super effective STABs. Rock- and Steel-types, such as Bronzor and Lileep, will not be able to take on the SubCM set well, but they don't take much from Acrobatics, and can poison Drifloon with Toxic; the latter can also Recover the damage off. If Drifloon does not have Hidden Power Ice or Thunderbolt, defensive variants of Murkrow can take repeated hits while healing off any damage taken with Roost. Hippopotas and Munchlax are bulky enough to take any of Drifloon's attacks, and can hit back hard with Crunch or Pursuit. Moreover, they have recovery moves in Slack Off and Rest, respectively, to recover the health they have lost. Tirtouga and Omanyte will get struck hard by Hidden Power Fighting or Thunderbolt, but they can still set up on Drifloon with Shell Smash and OHKO with their STAB moves.

This ring is absolutely beautiful. I would be thrilled to have it if it were actually a shade of blue. It's not. By anyones standards. I asume all of the ring are very different... But my favorite stone is a blue diamond and I expected a BLUE diamond.
Got this for my fiance as an engagement ring. She loved it! Like mentioned, it is a little more teal/aqua than true blue, but it still is beautiful. No regrets. She gets lots of compliments on it.
My girl picked this ring out and she is obsessed with it. She isn't getting it til christmas but I couldnt resist showing it to her sooner. Can't wait til I get to ask her the big question she knows it's coming just not when. The gesture is mostly for her family. And they are going to be impressed. I have a hard time believing I didn't spend a fortune. The diamonds are a beautiful blue and the white diamonds sparkle like frost on the white gold setting the prongs aren't noticeable and it's thin so it will go beautifully with my soon to be wife's wedding ring. Very happy with the choice i made.
This ring is simply amazing. It has so much shine and spark with a bunch of elegance.
It is a pretty little ring. I like it a lot. The acutal ring looked much like the picture. I am very happy with it.
Extremely disappointed in the size and clarity of the diamonds!!!
My fiance had me pick an engagement ring out. He wanted me to have something I'd be happy with and proud to wear for the rest of my life. I came across this beautiful piece and immediately fell in love. So he ordered it & he was concerned when he received it. He told me that the diamonds didn't look as blue as they did in the picture, but I know that diamonds tend to vary a LOT in color and no one color is the same as the next. Might I say that I absolutely LOVE this ring and am forever getting compliments on how beautiful it is or how vintage it looks. You should see peoples' reactions when they find out it came from overstock.com! Even the girls at Kay Jewelers couldn't believe the quality!! I laughed when I looked at their catalog a few weeks later, only to find that there was a Neil Lane that looked exactly like it for at least three times the cost. I love this ring and am 100% satisfied with it. It is absolutely perfect for me.
The diamonds are very small. The blue diamonds sparkle nicely. I am using it for a wedding ring with a 1/5 C diamond band and am pleased with the two.
I bought this ring as an engagement ring. It has a classic and at the same time modern feel to the design. The blue with white gold, can look a bit "cold" in the pictures but when you have it in your hands it is beautiful. Since I proposed she hasn't stopped smilling when ever she looks at the ring. Beautiful, absolutely buy this ring if you want to surprise your loved one with that live changing question.
I love this ring. My fiance and I hunted all of the internet and physically in local shops for "The Ring", to no avail. Even with a financial allowance of a few hundred more than the price of this ring, we decided on this one. Two weeks in and no complaints or concerns with the quality. The stones, in most light, are very similar to that in the photo. We looked at several blue diamonds in person, at stores, and one of the qualities I loved most about the stone is the depth and variance of color. It's officially my engagement ring and I can totally see myself wearing this, eventually with a wedding band, for the rest of my life.

I dig what you're saying and all, but I ain't trying to represent Seattle... These cats out here ain't trying to show me no love, so I'm representing my native Brooklyn. I love Seattle, I do...but the local hip hop scene has a very bad attitude if you ask me.

I have nothing against the city of Seattle itself and I have been shown love by a few cats here, but the gatekeepers here are mad fugaizi and I'm no ass kisser, so the way I see it, I'll continue what I've been doing without their support. I'm planning on relocating to Vancouver, BC in a year or two anyway. Seattle and America will just become a faded memory to me as I pursue Canadian citizenship.
I think I'd make a nice edition to Stones Throw and I love the fact that I don't sound like anyone else on their roster. Why would I want to sound like everyone else? Of course its a dope lineup, but I don't want to be like any of those guys to be among them. I want to be me and only me.

All cool and delightful. But, I think that is why you are special. I am not going to argue against it, I will say that I once thought ST was the be all end all, but, I think there is more out there given what you provide. Your sound may stick out on ST, but it may also get lost in the shuffle and why deal with fanboys... The less contact you have with some of these lesser acts the better. Like I said your sound is crisp--not some hodge podge of--well, Ill leave that to one's interpretation. I feel like you could do better--basing this only on your last recordings. There is a bit of care taken there...I feel uncomfortable going into it further...but, another somewhere in the hemisphere comes to mind.
I take all serious suggestions like yours into consideration. I'm curious what quality indie label do you think would make a good fit for my sound?

I feel you, not much of a hip hop community out here at all (record shops here are a bummer because of this too ). Just figure it's cool you're living around these parts. WA STMB user Dawhud does some good stuff and has some cool associations, worth checking his stuff out.
Posted 21 October 2013 - 10:31 PM
That's me, Dawhud and DJ MadMax Wallace...
I'm cool with quite a few folks here in the NW....the Seattle Gatekeepers (Radio, Local Cable Hosts, Bloggers and Jounalists) are a totally different deal tho'.
Despite the fact that since I've moved here 6 years ago that I've had two #1's and eight Top 10 singles on the college radio charts, been featured on numerous blogs and now we're cracking both the Asian and European markets with my records.... the Seattle Gatekeepers refuse to show me any love...To them... I'm that "Outsider" or "that dude from "Brooklyn".
I'm not hating on them, but I am frustrated by their nonchalant or negative attitude toward me and my work.
If my album #REALHIPHOP which is being released by IK Multimedia February 7, 2014 ends up getting national media attention and then the Seattle Gatekeepers begin claiming me...I'm gonna make it very clear I'm actually an "outsider from Brooklyn" and I'm seeking legal residence in Canada. I'm not going to publicly claim a scene that's been kinda cold towards me like I did them something wrong...
Since I've announced my plans to move to Vancouver, I've already been invited to be interviewed by a few DJs and bloggers and been shown quite a bit of love by the music community there with absolutely no funny styled side eye bullshit politics involved. That kinda genuine love and respect got a cat like me feeling very positive about moving forward with my plans to relocate to Canada.
The Gatekeeperism in Seattle, makes me wonder how many other dope artists and producers in the city are being held back or just plain gave up because of it? Some cold cats with way too much power in this city yo!

With so many music groups in Austin for SXSW it is easy for any of them to get drowned out by all the noise, but luckily for World Music artists, their foreign musical stylings give them a uniqueness that audiences tend to stop and pay attention to.

The Certified Medical Meeting Manager project took another step forward this fall in the form of a completed pilot program, according to James Montague, president and CEO of the Professional Meeting Planners Network, Durham, N.C., which created the CMMM program. PMPN offers a network of independent meeting planners nationwide who often serve as on-site logistics managers for medical meetings. Of the 18 PMPN planners who completed the pilot program coursework and test, 11 passed.
"We were really looking to get feedback on the body of knowledge we were presenting," says Montague. Other goals included enhancing planners' knowledge of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America's Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals, the Office of Inspector General's guidance for pharmaceutical companies, and the other regulations, codes, and guidances that govern medical meetings of all kinds.
Of the three learning modules offered, two centered on the rules specific to medical meetings, while one dealt with meeting management and logistical issues. "If someone has a Certified Meeting Professional designation, they could opt out of [the latter] portion of it," says Montague. The study guide includes not just information about the rules regarding medical meetings, but also why and how they are relevant to the meeting planner. "Why is it an issue if a pharmaceutical sales representative is in the room? Why is it so important that the feedback forms are sent in a timely manner? We wanted to take the guidelines and make them relevant to what are people are doing on site," he says. While the information currently offered is focused on what on-site staff like PMPN's planners need to know, the company wants to expand the body of knowledge so it is more useful to those who are full-time planners in CME offices and pharmaceutical companies. Although the content now tilts heavily toward CME, PMPN also wants to broaden it with information for those who plan non-CME medical meetings.
The goal of the fledgling CMMM program at present is to be a certificate program, where one studies and takes a test once, Montague adds. Recognizing that things can, and do, change frequently in the medical meetings industry, he says that the ultimate goal is to provide a certification program, which would have pre-requisites for certification, and ongoing recertification, instead of a one-time course and test.
"What we're doing now is putting together a snapshot of where we are at this one point in time and making sure people are competent in what they need to know now," Montague says. To roll it out to a broader audience — such as the 200 people who have sent PMPN requests for information about the CMMM — the company is looking for a nonprofit or accreditation organization to partner with on the project.
"We're looking to work with bodies that are already used to accreditation and that are removed from the perception of commercial bias," says Montague. PMPN has been criticized for starting the certificate program for its own commercial benefit. "We want it to be clear that this isn't the PMPN certificate. We're calling it what it is: A Certified Medical Meeting Manager certificate." Working with a noncommercial partner to turn it into a full accreditation program, he believes, would make the distinction clear, and would further the credibility of the CMMM's noncommercial status.
In the meantime, Montague says, PMPN is taking the feedback from the pilot program graduates to fine-tune the study guides and related materials. In addition, one of PMPN's clients plans to use the CMMM certificate program internally to broaden its meeting planners' skills sets. "This is different than what we intended," says Montague, "But still a great use for it."

Recently, club members voted to amend their constitution and change the name of the organization to the Woman's Club of Ouray County.
"At the inception of the WCO, travel around Ouray County was a slow process, and naturally the majority of the founding members lived in the City of Ouray," explained longtime club member Vicki Caldwell. "As our modern age emerged and transportation and travel became more easily available, the Woman's Club quickly added members from the entire Ouray County area. Today, less than half of the membership lives in Ouray; the majority of our 80-plus dedicated members live throughout Ouray County. Hence, the need and the recognition of our organization's name, which represents unified women committed to making Ouray County a better place to live."
Club members have diligently volunteered to provide services needed in Ouray County for the last 115 years. From the establishment of the Lincoln Memorial Library in 1898 to the recent funding and maintenance of a hospice room in Valley Manor Care Center, as well as the opening of the first Medical Loan Closet available to all people in Ouray County, the Woman's Club continues to keep the tradition of philanthropy alive.
Last October the Woman's Club granted over $9,000 in funds to 21 Ouray County non-profit organizations in order to support other important groups within the county. The Woman's Club also concluded a series of outstanding monthly programs in May centered around "Uncommon Women: Uncommon Lives," all of which highlighted exceptional Ouray County women and their unique contributions to the county.
Other highlights of 2011-2012 WCO activities have included monthly monetary and food contributions to the Ridgway Community Food Pantry, participation in the 4-H Holiday Bazaar, selection of Joan Fedel as WCO Woman of the Year, reorganization of the Medical Loan Closet, an annual salad luncheon to honor all Ouray County graduating senior girls and their mothers, and sponsorship of the Cedar Hill Cemetery Clean-Up. Installation of new officers is coming up on June 12.
All projects, donations and grant monies provided to others have one common monetary funding source – The Woman's Club of Ouray County's Annual Rummage Sale. This rummage sale is a long-standing tradition for Woman's Club members, and it provides a much-needed opportunity for special purchases for many people. Woman's Club members accept gently used clothing, books, linens, housewares, sporting goods, home improvements, arts and crafts, floral items, furniture, luggage, jewelry and decorative/miscellaneous items each year. Two generous families (the Corleys and the Wolkins) allow their garages to be used for storage. Members work many hours sorting and pricing the items, and the community receives incredible bargains.
This year's Annual Rummage Sale is set for Friday, June 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, June 23 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"This year's selection of merchandise is incredible, and the Woman's Club of Ouray County cordially invites everyone to mark their calendars now and shop early to find unbelievable sale items," Caldwell said.
After your "spring cleaning," if you have donations to make, please contact Caldwell at 325-4816, Nancy Wolkin at 325-4368 or Nancy Rule at 325-4306.
Donations will also be accepted on Wednesday, June 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or on Thursday morning, June 21 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Ouray Community Center. If anyone has large, gently used furniture items or other bulky donations, arrangements can be made for pick-up on Wednesday, June 20. Once again, contact Caldwell to make such arrangements.
"As the years have flown by (1897 to 2012), people, names and buildings may change. However, the Woman's Club of Ouray County continues its one unifying principle – community service and philanthropy," Caldwell said. "We invite any interested woman to attend a meeting, to learn our history and goals, to share great programs and to serve fellow Ouray County citizens."

Dallas >Zini's Pizzeria
2639 Elm St, Dallas, TX | Directions 7522632.784535 -96.784875
Sun-Thurs 11am-12am; Fri-Sat 11am-245am
Neighborhoods: East Dallas
Best Pizza in Dallas! – The atmosphere is fun and relaxed. The pizza is the best in Dallas by far! They also have chocolate fortune cookies which are awesome. I try to eat there every time I'm near it. Staff is awesome, and the location isn't hard to access. If you have never eaten there before, go there!
REAAAALLLY good pizza! – OK, I've lived at length in Chicago and New York, so I'd like to think "I know pizza". This place is up there.
I regularly go to the Deep Ellum location. The gang working there are friendly, loud, funny... a good group of people.
Tonight, they made a pizza fresh for me, simply so I could have the "one slice" that I wanted. The chicken tenders are different (not like any of the typical "fast food" places), and yummy.
HIGHLY recommend. Be sure to compliment the dress that Bob the Bear is wearing. He's sensitive about that stuff.
Best BBQ Chicken Pizza – Best BBQ Pizza that I've ever had! It's a must have for Pizza Connoisseur's. Thank you Zini's for your delicious pizza!
Zini'z Pizza! – I have been coming here for years. This is the best Pizzeria in Dallas, probably anywhere. I enjoy it all to much some time.
Out of Cheese! – The pizza here is really good and I am a consistent costumer. But I called tonight and they didn't even have enough cheese at the Deep Ellum Store to make a medium pizza, which is their smallest pizza size. Really Zinis?
Dallas' Best Pizza – Great Food, more than reasonable pricing. The staff is always friendly, its always clean.
Love their Pizza – Always fresh and hot. They get here pretty quick and are always friendly. I used to order from the Cedar Springs location and was happy to find out about the one in Deep Ellum.
Hellyeah Zini's – Best f*cking pizza ever. Every late night in Dallas isn't complete without some Zini's. Great service, awesome pizza. Hellyeah!
Great pizza, great service! – This pizza place in Deep Ellum is incredible! My boyfriend and I went in for lunch the other day and were so impressed with the really good lunch special. The crust is amazing, and the 100 pounder is the way to go if you're really hungry (100+ pepperoni and a ton of cheese!) We also ordered a small caesar salad and were treated to a complimentary large one instead. The chef even came out to talk to us, which is rare in pizza places. I would highly recommend Zinis to anyone!

This is the outdoor shower that provides a temperature-adjustable stream of water anywhere in a yard. The shower's housing acts as a greenhouse and heats water from a hose; turning the shower handle combines cool water from the hose and the heated water, producing a soothing cascade of water from 60� F to 130� F. The unit produces up to 4 3/4-gallons of hot water after three hours of sun exposure, providing up to four two-minute showers. The water pressure is strong enough to quickly rinse off chlorine or dirt, and the showerhead swivels and tilts for optimal positioning. The shower sets up on the included base or mounts onto concrete with the included bolts. Made from durable, weatherproof PVC. 80 1/2" H x 11" D x 5 1/2" W. (22 lbs.)
