Would you take a job at McDonald's?
McDonald's is doing a mass hiring on April 19. Are you too proud to work there?
McDonald's is going on a hiring spree -- filling up to 50,000 jobs in a "National Hiring Day" on April 19. Yep, all in one day.
Which raises a basic, oft-asked question: Would you take a job at Mickey D's? Aren't you just a bit too smart, talented or proud to flip burgers for a living? "For years, people have used the term 'McJob' as derogatory slang for low-paying, dead-end work in the kitchen or behind the counter," The Wall Street Journal observes. Post continues after video.
In fact, the National Hiring Day appears to be a PR stunt since McDonald's would likely be filling that many jobs in the run-up to the summer months anyway. The all-in-one-day makes them look as if they're working hard to help out the unemployed, no? Our pal Kim Peterson at sister blog Top Stocks reported, "The Atlantic notes that the 50,000 employees McDonald's wants is equal to a quarter of the new jobs created in the entire U.S. last month."
Upgrading the image of working at McDonald's is also part of their goal.
It's not the first time McDonald's has tried to retool how people think about working under the Golden Arches. Several years ago, it unsuccessfully tried to convince the Oxford English Dictionary to change its definition of "McJob": "unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects, especially one created by the expansion of the service sector."
- Calculator:Is your budget in balance?
So back to the question: Would you work there? Let's consider the possibilities:
These jobs typically pay more than minimum wage, but not much more, and a bunch of these positions are part time. Sounds good if you're a high school kid, but if you're living on your own, it's not much money. According to a new report, "a single worker needs an income of $30,012 a year -- or just above $14 an hour -- to cover basic expenses and save for retirement and emergencies," The New York Times reports.
You could try for a management job. Managers at company-owned restaurants (most are owned by franchisees) earn about $50,000 a year after five years. (Either way, you can apply online or at the store.)
There are benefits. Some store owners offer "mini-med" plans -- up to $10,000 of coverage a year for $32 a week, which won't help much if you get really sick.
Working at McDonald's has got to be tough. Maybe you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work there, but neither do the customers -- who may not even have a modicum of class. You can hear the aggravation in Joanna's McRules for customers, posted by a McDonald's employee back in 2006. Among them:
Don't confuse franchises! We don't Biggie size, we don't have onion rings or nachos, and no ... you may not "Have it your way."
If you ordered a burger without pickles and they somehow ended up there anyway ... just pick them off because that's all I'm going to do when you bring it back to me to "fix it."
In fact, the charms of working at McDonald's show up on other lists, including "25 reasons why working at McDonald's is better than being a graduate student" -- which only goes to show how bad life in grad school can be. Among them:
No line worker at McDonald's ever pretends that their work has more social significance than it really does.
At McDonald's there is a minimum wage.
In a few states, McDonald's is actually required to pay you a living wage.
You could do better. Sure, some McDonald's employees eventually move into management. Jan Fields, the president of McDonald's USA, said she started there years ago making french fries. But that kind of advancement is not available for everyone employed at the 14,000 McDonald's restaurants.
You could do worse. "Yes, any job is better than no job and for low-wage workers McDonald's does better as an employer than many," "jaredbrain" commented at The Huffington Post, and went on to say, "but if we're getting this excited about fast-food openings while millionaires get richer and the economic divide grows, we may be past the point of claiming a middle class."
Here's the deal: If you're unemployed without benefits and there are no better jobs where you live, you should be lovin' that McDonald's application. (Believe me, I've worked in worse jobs.) For now, that may be the best you can do.
The Chicago Tribune reported:
According to a recent report from the National Employment Law Project, the U.S. lost 8.7 million jobs during the Great Recession but has recovered only 1.5 million of them since the recession officially ended in 2009. The jobs that have been added are disproportionately of the low-paying, entry-level variety.
More from MSN Money:
The restaurant industry has always provided great career opportunities. It bothers me that people believe that every job within our industry should be at a family wage. It doesn't work like that….anywhere. It's 50,000 opportunities, what you make of your opportunity is up to you. My wife and I have worked for a large chain, we are both college graduates and now operate 13 Wendy's with family. We wrote a book titled Flip-N-Burgers to help dispel the negative stereotypes often associated with our industry. There is a lot more going on than Flip-N-Burgers. Flip-N-Burgers gives people the knowledge and tools that we have picked up in our Operations and Human Resources careers to help them fast track. If you need a new career or are starting your career you shouldn't overlook this opportunity.You can find our book at Amazon.
Dear Someone,
There is not one standard starting rate. It varies from store to store, but is generally reported to be a little more than minimum wage. I included a link so you can look up minimum wage in your state.
Also, the $30K referred to is the amount needed "to cover basic expenses and save for retirement and emergencies" -- which is a standard higher than basic survival.
"Doesn't even pay the gas for the car.." How much gas do you buy? Even at today's crazy prices, I can fill up my truck for 60 bucks. Surely, with 25 - 30 hours of work, you'd make more than enough to fill up the car.
I kept looking for the actual rate McDonald's pays in the article, but I didn't see it. What is the starting rate per hour for the average worker (not manager)?
And it kills me that is says a person needs $30K a year to stay afloat. I have had many times in my life where I had less than that coming in, and I survived.
I worked at McDonalds from the age of 16 until I graduated high school and after getting out of the Army, another 3.5 years until I graduated from college. Although the wages were low (minimum wage) and it wasn't the most glamorous job, it was enough to supplement my GI Bill and give me some spending cash through college and pay a few bills. And the added benefit of providing a flexible schedule so I could get to classes made a pretty good job in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a career or trying to support a family but as a stop gap job or way to support yourself through school I would highly recommend working there. Upon graduating college and interviewing with several engineering companies, I was surprised at how many potential employers actually looked at my experience working at McDonalds as a positive and heard numerous times that they felt McDonalds taught young people how to work i.e. be to work on-time, find work to do during slow periods, etc.

So far so good by ilive2dive on 07/12/2011. Trim: 2011 Toyota Venza AWD V6, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I just bought my Venza and so far so good. I actually chose this over a BMW 5 series and an Audi A6. I love how comfortable it is and how well it handles. It sits higher than my old car but not as high as my husbands SUV. Its just perfect for me. Tons of room in the back seat.
Cons: I wish they would have made one without the panaramic roof....it seems like a giant waste to me, but every car maker has gone to it. I would have been just as happy with the traditional sunroof.
Overall review: I love it. Its looks good, its spacious, very compfortable and practicle.

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Staff was fantastic! Very informative. Beautiful Catamaran! Hospitality was amazing and the food was superb!!! Would book this excursion again. Always making sure the guests were happy and served with a smile.I didn't have a child with me but those that did were given the same hospitality and the staff swam with the kids to make sure they got the same experience.
This tour was awesome, the crew were great and the boat was brand new.
The food and drink were really good and we saw about 30 dolphins almost as soon as we left the dock. The tour was well ran and pick up from the hotel was efficient!
I'll do the tour again when I go back to Honolulu!
We got to see dolphins, turtles and fish! I was so sad that my camera died but i will never forget all the great memories. The staff was very friendly. Take dramamine if you get sea sick!
This was a GREAT time had by all! Our hosts and guides did a great job and hospitality of the crew was WONDERFUL!
If you want a great time sailing with a competent and fun crew, swim with dolphins or just enjoy a great day out on the water with wondrous views, this type is for you. Rated 5 out of 5.
Thoroughly enjoyed this experience, watching the dolphins and snorkeling with the turtles and a variety of fish. The crew were excellent, very friendly and helpful and the food and drinks were plentiful. All round great trip.
Completely awesome!!!! Kelly and her crew made the cruise enjoyable, relaxing, and safe and fun. We saw many spinner dolphins, but we didn't get to swim with them on this trip as when we got there they were in sleep mode. It was still well worth it and would recommend it to everyone.
Everything was wonderful the tour birdies were pleasant food was great
What a great adventure. Very knowledgable captain and crew. Fun, Fun, Fun. Our favorite activity of the whole trip. Great food too. Highly Recommend.
The tour was awesome! The crew was very good in entertaining and making the tour fun for everyone. The pulled pork sandwiches were very good also!
This tour is worth the cost even if you do not snorkel - the boat trip out to our snorkeling spot was spectacular and for me was the highlight of the tour. We saw many spinner dolphins including several babies. The dolphins came close to the boat and we all got good shots and were able to see them demonstrate their trademark spinning behaviour. I'm not a great snorkeller (my husband is) but I still got in and was amazed by the sea life just under the surface. I'm no swimmer but it was safe and we felt watched over at all times. Families even had little toddlers in swimming and enjoying the experience.
We had a beautiful breakfast and gourmet lunch including fresh pulled pork, fresh fruit, several salads and many kinds of drinks. Tasty and unexpectedly gourmet!
The trip to the bay was also beautiful and we got to see an side of Oahu we might not have otherwise made it to. Our guide Melinda (?) was informative and helpful.
Take lots of sunscreen and a broadbrimmed hat that will not blow off. I usually get seasick on boats but I was ok here as the boat is quite large and steady and the sea was smooth as glass the day we went out.
The tour was excellent!
We were picked up from our hotel and driven to a catamaran, there was plenty of space on board for sitting and watching the ocean - and see dolphins!
The crew (Mash, Kelly, Gary and Nessa) were really friendly and looked after us really well.
They were very helpful in explaining how to use the snorkeling gear and I liked the fact that they were very respectful of marine life (no touching the sea turtles, etc)
We got to see dolphins on the way to the snorkeling spot and lots of fish and sea turtles during the snorkeling, the trip was truly amazing, one of the highlights of the holiday! Highly recommended!!
Had a great time
Our FamilyJust Loved The Crew. We Tried To Book A Second Tour With Them But You Were Not Able To Locate them Through Your System So We Didn't Book It. I Recommend You Have This Feature Available For FUture Trips.
What can I say beautiful the mountains were like a scene from Jurassic Park, water Crystal Clear, swam with Sea Turtles and Tropical Fish, no Dolphins but the Cruise Company gave each visitor Life Time return Coupon to Sail with them for free. We will be going back in the Future.
Young Skipper and Crew were very accommodating and great sense of humor!!!

GMP warns of phone scam on customersStaff Report | January 24,2013Green Mountain Power on Thursday warned customers that several attempts to scam its commercial customers over the phone have been reported.
The caller claims to be representing Green Mountain Power and requests the customer pay their account balance by releasing credit card information to the caller or paying their bill by means of a money card or other alternate payment mechanism. The caller also represents that the customer would have electric service disconnected if they do not comply.
GMP follows very clear processes when working with customers about paying their bills and advises customers that it would not demand credit card information or alternate payment mechanisms from a customer for any purpose. This is clearly a phone scam, GMP said.
Any customer receiving such a call should not provide the caller with any personal information, including account and credit card numbers, and should immediately contact the Vermont State Police or their local law enforcement agency.MORE IN This Just InBy Josh O'Gorman Full StoryBy Gordon Dritschilo Full StoryCASTLETON - Police have released a picture of a man who robbed a convenience store Monday night.

Your eyes will roll back in your head, this is so delicious! You can make it with cake mix, no problem, and a double chocolate cake mix would be even better. But do take the time to make the caramel cream according to the recipe, and don't make other changes to the recipe. This was absolutely dreamy. If you are told to bring dessert, you can't go wrong with this. I brought this to a Christmas dinner and it was GONE even though there was another dessert and there were only 8 of us. That about says it.
Chocolate-Caramel Trifle with Raspberries
James Carrier
Notes: Make and cool pastry cream while cake bakes and cools. For a nonalcoholic version, substitute a hazelnut- or raspberry-flavor syrup (such as Torani, available in most well-stocked supermarkets) for the liqueur; the trifle will be somewhat sweeter.
Yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings

A settlement between the
Madera County Farm Bureau in the Central Valley and California's High-Speed
Rail Authority could be a big win for Governor Brown.
If a Sacramento Superior
Court Judge approves the settlement, it'll mean one less roadblock for the Rail
Authority, which has been besieged with lawsuits over the $68 billion dollar
And the Governor, who is
pivotal backer of the state's bullet train project, may have an easier time
drumming up investors with another lawsuit out of the way.
"Far from being perfect, I
believe this settlement forces the Authority to compensate and mitigate
individual land owners for agricultural impacts this project will have on the
farming community in Madera County," said Tom Coleman, the president of the
Madera County Farm Bureau. "We were very concerned that even if we prevailed
entirely in our CEQA case, we would not have been afforded these rigorous
The M.C.F.B. filed legal
action against the Authority's environmental documents in June 2012, claiming
that the mitigation measures provided for weren't adequate for agricultural
"The settlement actually
increases the amount of mitigation the Authority is going to be required to
provide to property owners and towards agricultural impacts," says Anja
Raudabaugh, M.C.F.B. executive director. "It also provides for appropriate
severance damages towards properties affected by the alignment of the high
speed train."
The settlement agreement
includes all joint petitioners as co-signatories, including the Merced County
Farm Bureau, Chowchilla Water District, Preserve Our Heritage and the Fagundes
Brothers Dairy entities.
Rail Authority chairman tells
Fox 11 investigative producer Heidi Cuda: "We are committed to working in
harmony with the agricultural community to preserve farmland in the Central
Valley. This settlement clears the way for the Authority to move forward with
construction of the first high-speed rail in the nation and shows we can build
high-speed rail while preserving precious resources."
This is the fourth legal case
that the Authority has settled in recent weeks.

Gas Prices Up Again
TAMPA (970 WFLA) -- Tensions in Egypt, and higher demand in the U.S. are the reasons the price of gasoline keeps going up, according to the AAA.
The average price in Tampa reached $3.55 a gallon, while the statewide average reached $3.62 a gallon, according to The Auto Club Group, which includes Triple-A organizations in several Southeastern states.
Auto Club Group spokeswoman Jessica Brady says traders are worried about the impact of political turmoil on the Suez Canal, a chokepoint for oil shipments from the Middle East. There's also more demand for fuel in the U.S.
Brady predicts gas prices across Florida will reach $3.65 to $3.80 a gallon, but will just miss the $4 mark, assuming there are no hurricanes in the Gulf.

Abortion foes in the Arkansas State Senate passed a bill yesterday to ban certain funding grants to Planned Parenthood. The chosen grants heading to the chopping block? Sex education. Which sucks, because Planned Parenthood provided the state's sex ed.
According to Think Progress, Arkansas lacks a codified set of sex education requirements, which is why Planned Parenthood stepped in to do HIV/AIDS and STD/STI education in the state. A Republican health education teacher, and assistant football coach, Darrell Seward, told the Huffington Post over the phone:
"I would challenge any legislator or politician in the state of Arkansas or higher to set foot in my classroom and listen to the curriculum and walk out and say it's a bad program. This program has been one of the most well-received programs that our students have ever been engaged in. I am a Republican, but this is one issue I feel very strongly about, because I see the benefit for our kids."
So why take away these funds? Well because the bill's sponsor doesn't like any state funding to go to any organization that has anything to do with abortion or abortion referrals. Keep reading »

I like monumental woodcuts because of it being an extroverted art form. To quote Leonard Baskin, "monumentality makes it an art of witness" Creating large images quickly communicates my ideas to others and is a direct reflection of who I am. I like to think big — therefore I work big. This invariably leads to a whole bunch of carving in a studio filled with big prints, which is totally awesome!

Nineteen-year-old Sloane Stephens became the talk of the sports world when she upset Serena Williams at the Australian Open quarterfinals, and she certainly advanced the family name by doing so.
But she's not the first member of the Stephens family to gain fame in sports. Her father John, a former Springhill Lumberjack was selected in the first round of the 1988 NFL draft out of Northwestern State, won the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award that season after he gained 1,168 yards and scored four touchdowns on 297 carries.
Stephens played seven years in the league -- five for the Patriots, one for the Green Bay Packers, and one for the Kansas City Chiefs -- and he was out of football after the 1993 season. That was the same year Sloane Stephens was born.
Sadly, John Stephens is no longer with us to enjoy his daughter's athletic exploits -- he died in an automobile accident in September of 2009 on a stretch of Louisiana's Highway 169 when he lost control of his truck, veered off the highway, and hit some trees. Sloane Stephens didn't really know her father -- the two had met just a few times until they established a phone relationship.
John Stephens was a conflicted personality -- honored in his rookie season for his humanitarian work, but put on probation in 1994 after he pleaded guilty to rape charges in Missouri. A pending sexual assault charge followed in early 2009, which was still pending at the time of Stephens' death.
John Stephens was also suffering from a degenerative bone disease, and wanted to get to know his daughter before he passed away.
"I wanted her to have pride in him," Sybil Smith, Sloane's mother, told the New York Times in 2009. "I'm telling you, John was a very good man with addiction issues that were never addressed early on."
The hardest part of that relationship for Smith was having to tell her daughter of her father's past.
"She said, 'Mom, why didn't you tell me this?' " Smith said.
"It's very sad," she added, her eyes welling with tears, "because Sloane and her dad became so close. They had a great friendship. She knew a part of her dad that was all good and she was able to be proud of him.
"One of the things I told her," Smith concluded at the time, "is this is the only time you'll get to say goodbye to your dad and to see the memory of your dad and the legacy of your dad and the people who really loved him. This is the time to feel that love."
Asked about her rooting interest in the upcoming Super Bowl after the upset win over Williams, Sloane Stephens said that "I don't really watch professional football, but I want the Ravens to win. I love Ray Lewis."

This seminar, co-organised by the French Chamber of Commerce in China and the EU SME Centre, will focus on the main obstacles and best practices in relation to Chinese import regulations for food and beverages.
Despite a fragmented distribution infrastructure and growing local competition, opportunities for European SMEs to sell high-quality foodstuffs in China are likely to grow, driven by increasing disposable income, urbanisation, and a growing taste for foreign delicacies. In fact, from 2005 to 2010, EU exports of F&B to China multiplied by almost five. Managing the importing process and conforming to the multitude of regulations concerning food safety and product labelling are major challenges even for experienced exporters.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - State public school Superintendent Tony Evers says he has no regrets about signing a petition to recall Governor Scott Walker.
And Walker says he won't hold it against Evers, as the governor decides whether he'll endorse anyone in next spring's election for state superintendent.
Evers is running for a second four-year term next spring, and he's being challenged by State Assembly Republican Don Pridemore of Hartford.
Walker said Wednesday that he's still trying to decide whether to endorse either of the candidates – and he won't let his decision be affected by Evers' signing a recall petition.
The superintendent was among the 900,000 people who petitioned for a recall election against the Republican Walker earlier this year – which Walker won by seven points. Evers had been critical of Walker's proposal to virtually end collective bargaining by most public unions, a move that was since overturned for public schools and local governments.
Walker also cut K-12 school funding by $800 million. But later, the governor and Evers worked together on a number of issues – including new school performance standards, early childhood screenings for literacy, and a new program that allows non-traditional students to use their life experiences toward college credits.
Walker and Evers both say their politics have not always been aligned, but they've found ways to work together.

A petition drive is under way to rename a two block stretch of Seattle's Occidental Avenue "Seahawks Place" in honor of the Super Bowl champions.
The online petition reads, "We, the undersigned 12th man, call on the City of Seattle to rename a portion of, or ceremoniously add a name to Occidental Avenue between S. Royal Brougham and S. King Street. We the 12th man petition to rename or include the name 'Seahawks Place or Ave'. We understand the history of the current name and intend no harm or insult to the city, its people or its heritage."
As of Monday morning, over 650 people had signed the petition. A GoFundMe fundraiser has been set up to pay for any costs associated with the name change, with a goal of $1,200.
A Facebook page has also been set up to promote the drive.
Renaming a street based on the success of a Seattle sports franchise would be nothing new. Edgar Martinez Drive can be found along the south side of Safeco Field, named after the great Seattle Mariners designated hitter. 1st Avenue S. in front of the stadium was renamed Dave Niehaus Way in honor of the late Mariners broadcaster.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (WKZO) -- It's been over 30 years since the Detroit Lions opened a football season 3-0. 1980 to be exact. It appeared, at least in the 1st half that the 1980 Lions team was going to remain the last to win 3 to begin a season.
That changed in the second half as the Lions fought back and Matthew Stafford went 32-for-46, throwing for 378 yards, 2 touchdowns and perfectly placing a deep pass in overtime that dropped Calvin Johnson onto the Minnesota Vikings 15-yard-line.
This is not your parents Detroit Lions. Even after allowing the Vikings to tie the game in regulation, overcoming 2 false start penalties on Jeff Backus and a 3rd and long in overtime the Lions were able to secure the 26-23 victory.
In years past the Lions have always found a way to lose. Today the Lions found a way to win. Stafford spread the ball around Sunday hitting Brandon Pettigrew 11 times for 112 yards, Johnson 7 times for 108 yards and Jahvid Best 5 times for 74 yards in the win.
Up next the now 3-0 Lions head to Dallas for a showdown with the Cowboys. WKZO will LIVE blog the Cowboys game right here online at wkzo.com and via text.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge, Gear VR
On sale in Australia from November
On sale in Australia from November
What it's like to wear, how it feels and when it will be in stores
Can Apple's iPhone 6 fend off its better equipped Android rivals?
Motorola is readying the release of its Moto X flagship, a 5.2in Android smartphone ripe with innovative features
Samsung will release its Galaxy Note 4 and Edge, the Galaxy S smartwatch and its Gear VR headset in Australia early November.
Optus has commercially launched LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide using two 20MHz allotments of its 2300MHz spectrum.
Apple's iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have been cracked opened and stripped by repair site iFixit, which has revealed key specifications and repairing gripes.
For those who ever questioned the relevance of Apple in today's market, the tech giant has emphatically blown away the doubters with a record-breaking first weekend of iPhone 6 sales.
Motorola's Moto 360 differs from the plethora of smartwatches by resembling the time-pieces we have long been using. Good Gear Guide had a brief hands on with the promising device. Here are our first thoughts.
The Nokia Lumia 735 is a mid-range smartphone that comfortably nests between the inexpensive Lumia 635 and premium Lumia 930. It runs Windows Phone 8.1, offers a 5 megapixel camera for self-photography and supports wireless charging.
If you've been itching to get your hands on an inexpensive tablet that runs Windows 8.1, then check out your local Target store on September 25. That's when a little Intel-based tablet with the brand name of Pendo goes on sale.
October is firming as the month of release for Motorola's upcoming flagship, the second generation Moto X, and for the company's smartwatch, the Moto 360.
If you have trouble recognising your rump from your tenderloin, you probably need the Meat Cuts app, which gives you a visual breakdown of the different parts of beef, lamb, veal, and goat. Yes, goat. (Our Mobile Editor, Tony Ibrahim loves goat.)
According to a survey from MobileMuster, Australians are pretty good at hoarding their old phones rather than throwing them out and getting them recycled. The upcoming apocalypse, stuff coming back into fashion, and prop pieces or 'art', were some of the reasons given for the hoarding. So that got us thinking about some of the other reasons we keep old tech, and not just phones, lying around.
Vodafone is offering unmetered international calls and double the data on select plans as it leverages its global network to compete in the Australian prepaid market.
Apple has long derided large screen smartphones. The company defended the dwarfish 4in screen of the iPhone 5 in a series of advertisements following its launch. Now Apple has changed its tune with its 6 Plus phablet, a 5.5in variant of its iPhone destined to battle rivals from Samsung, LG and Sony.
The Thecus N2310 is a small, two-bay network attached storage (NAS) device that's designed primarily for home users. Compared to many NAS devices, it's a good looking unit with reasonable build quality, and it possesses many of the features that are sought by consumers, such as easy installation, and the ability to copy from and backup to USB drives.
The long awaited Apple iPhone 6 went on sale today. The next generation smartphone is bigger, faster and better equipped than its predecessors. It brings many features to existing iPhone users, although most of them have long been enjoyed by its Android rivals.
Hundreds of people lined the sidewalks stretching from Apple's George street store all the way towards Darling Harbour in the hope of getting an iPhone 6 today.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
