We often say that insanity reigns at the state Capitol.
But when we do, we do not literally accuse the people inside of letting their grip on reality slip. We simply mean that our ability to fathom their motives, or their ability to express them, has fallen short.
Referring to a politician as delusional is simply entertaining hyperbole. But it is something that becomes much less funny when a truly tortured soul bears her torment.
Last Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee entertained SB 235, the bill sponsored by Sen. Chip Pearson (R-Dawsonville) to prohibit the involuntary implantation of microchips in human beings.
In Gov. Roy Barnes' stump speech, the bill has become a routine example of the Republican tendency to attack problems that don't exist, and ignore the ones that do. Besides, Barnes argues, if someone holds him down to insert a microchip in his head, "it should be more than a damned misdemeanor."
Three states have instituted bans, and others have considered the legislation. In Virginia, a bill supporter declared microchips to be the "666″ mark of the beast referred to in the Book of Revelation.
Pearson has said his motivation isn't biblical or religious – that he is simply working in advance of technology's next assault on personal privacy. Not unlike limiting the uses of DNA testing by health insurance companies, he argues.
At the House hearing, state Rep. Ed Setzler (R-Kennesaw), who is shouldering the legislation in the House, spoke earnestly for better than a half hour on microchips as a literal invasion of privacy.
He was followed by a hefty woman who described herself as a resident of DeKalb County. "I'm also one of the people in Georgia who has a microchip," the woman said. Slowly, she began to lead the assembled lawmakers down a path they didn't want to take.
Microchips, the woman began, "infringe on issues that are fundamental to our very existence. Our rights to privacy, our rights to bodily integrity, the right to say no to foreign objects being put in our body."
She spoke of the "right to work without being tortured by co-workers who are activating these microchips by using their cell phones and other electronic devices."
She continued. "Microchips are like little beepers. Just imagine, if you will, having a beeper in your rectum or genital area, the most sensitive area of your body. And your beeper numbers displayed on billboards throughout the city. All done without your permission," she said.
It was not funny, and no one laughed.
"Ma'am, did you say you have a microchip?" asked state Rep. Tom Weldon (R-Ringgold).
"Yes, I do. This microchip was put in my vaginal-rectum area," she replied. Setzler, the sponsoring lawmaker, sat next to the witness – his head bowed.
"You're saying this was involuntary?" Weldon continued.
The woman said she had been pushing a court case through the system for the last eight years to have the device removed.
Wendell Willard (R-Atlanta), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, picked up the questioning.
"Who implanted this in you?" he asked.
"Researchers with the federal government," she said.
"And who in the federal government implanted it?" Willard asked.
"The Department of Defense."
"Thank you, ma'am."
The woman was allowed to go about her business, and the House Judiciary Committee approved passage of SB 235.

Ok…is it just me or did they spend valuable time that could have been used to figure out this budget mess by parading a psychotic woman who might also be friends with a space alien or two in front of this committee for WHAT REASON?!?! Roy has this one nailed. If Sen. Chip Pearson (R-Dawsonville) is your rep…I'd say its time to vote for someone else. This would be laughable if it wasn't for the fact that so much needs to be done and you hear about this garbage

Poor lady, it'll be years before the spaceship folks comes back to remove their microchip from her butt, and she thought it was the Dep't of Defense. On another note, I personally know of at least several state legislators who are not utter and complete buffoons, but you can count 'em on one hand.

So, King Roy makes fun of a bill outlawing implants of micro-chips.
I ain't scared of an involuntary implant of a micro-chip, King Roy, but I am scared of an involuntary implant of 4 more years of Bobby Kahn.
Hey Roy, forget the micro-chip bill, just support a ban on implantation of Bobby Kahn when you once again enter into your Kingdom.

Don't the legislatures know that we are just going to go across state lines to get these involuntary implanted. They are just losing out on revenue by not allowing this here.

What is truly sad is that the legislature must pass a bill to make this kind of thing a crime. Show how little we can count on the government to protect our rights these days, as they are generally the first in line to violate them.
The intrusions into our privacy that the government at both state and federal levels DEMANDS these days is so far beyond what any of our founding fathers would have believed, and all done with complete disregard for the 4th amendment.
As states work to pass laws in attempts to protect their citizens from the onslaught of the feds with healthcare it is nice to see that a few are looking at all the ways the government has planned for invading the sanctity of our lives and our bodies.

What a profound – and unintentional – testimony to the need to fund Behavioral Health services.
I wasn't there, but generally anyone can sign up to testify and it is unfair to assume that legislators "paraded' her, or even knew who she was.

Isn't Pearson the same dude with the company that boasts of its 'connections' to the Capitol? Perhaps the guy could look at sponsoring some ethics legislation next. Maybe he could get the same lady to come back and testify before the committee on that bill. She was probably just a 'plant' by the Democrats anyway;-)

Shouldn't our teachers and law enforcement be given special training on how to do spot/deal with those seeking to…implant us?

April 19th, 2010
5:35 pm
WOW….So for years both Federal and State government has been screwing all of us and now they decided to "tag" each of us to they can actually keep track of whom they have screwed…And now Georgia wants to ban it, so does this mean that we can rest better knowing that the Legislators will stop screwing us in the future? I dont think so, because they are doing it to us now….SPEND OUR MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT CAN IMPROVE OUR LIVES AND WALLETS instead of WASTING TIME AND MONEY ON NOTHING….So does implanting our foot up your butts to get you to do something will now be deemed illegal?

Okay…this bill is silly, however, and I cannot believe I am going to say this, but I can foresee at least one positive use for implanting chips in certain types of people. To track soldiers in battle for instance, so they can be found if they go MIA, are POW or KIA.
I don't approve of this one, but I fear it is only a matter time before we see people seriously talking about forcing sex-offenders to get microchip implanted in them the make sure they don't go near schools etc.
Also, we should all piety the mentally ill, I would not wish it on my worst enemy.

Sorry we didn't do anything about transportation once again this year but we ran out of time. We had much more important issues to deal with. Besides, traffic is only important to the yankee infested Atlanta. We have to spend valuable time on issues important to REAL Georgians, like our women being abducted by CIA controlled UFOs and getting microchips implanted in their vjj.

See why I left the GOP? They're a bunch of whackjobs. Look at the propaganda Glenn Beck spreads, and he sits home laughing at the things he can get people to believe. Dems aren't far behind either. If they ever start talking again they'll probably realize they have more in common that they thought – screwing the American people. Yeah I vote Dem now but that doesn't mean I like whackjobs from either party.
At least I know why my GOP friends' claim their a$$es itch all the time now. Either they been hanging out in male airport restrooms or the CIA's green men implanted them.

As a pharmacist and conservative, I find it appalling that our Georgia legislators would put a psychotic/mentally disturbed woman in a position of talking about implantation of microchips into her body. Did any of these legislators consider that she may be under treatment for her mental disorder and therefore may have received IM (intramuscular) injections or suppositories containing antipsychotic medications as part of her treatment??? (Patients often don't understand the difference between medications they need administered and "space aliens who implant devices in them".) Mentally, where is the sanity of our legislators in evaluating each person individually BEFORE they allow to talk on the floor of the legistlature? This woman is certainly detatched from reality!
Big-Ole Roy Barnes and the Democrats are having one big laugh because Rep. Chip Pearson (R-Dawsonville) and Rep. Ed Setzler (R-Kennesaw) won't take the time to evaluate the sanity of people they put before the legislature to speak! Furthermore, the Republicans cannot discern a real problem from a potential future or imagined problem.
We have so many REAL PROBLEMS in our state now, so why are we entertaining this "make-believe" topic — and on the last days of this legislative session, when candidates are trying to push through remaining legislation on so many important topics before they can start raising funds for re-election?
I'm totally disgusted with the Georgia Republicans, the poor state of the Georgia economy, and decisions made on our behalf by dim-wits we have elected!!! Before I vote for another Georgia candidate, I will evaluate their fitness to serve in the Georgia legislature!!! I suggest everyone reading this do the same thing.

@ Pharmacist:
Thanks for this:
"Before I vote for another Georgia candidate, I will evaluate their fitness to serve in the Georgia legislature!!! I suggest everyone reading this do the same thing."
I've been urging others to do the same thing for a long time. It remains to be seen whether voters here have really learned anything after repeatedly voting the same types of politicians into office at the state and federal level. It continues to boggle the mind how/why voters would continue making their choices solely on the basis of a series of buzzwords. Voters need to stop allowing themselves to be used by these types of politicians. The way to do that would be to educate themselves thoroughly about the candidates before voting, but I have serious doubts as to whether they are willing to do this.

Once again, it's time to make some New Year's resolutions. This year, in addition to promising yourself that you'll hit the gym more often, learn a new language or take up a musical instrument -- all worthy goals, of course -- why not set some financial resolutions?
Consider these suggestions:
o Boost your retirement account contributions. If your income will rise this year, consider putting more money into your employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k), 403(b) and 457(b). You typically contribute pre-tax dollars to your plan, so the more you put in, the lower your taxable income. Plus, your money can have tax-deferred growth potential.
o Don't overreact to headlines. Lately, you've heard a lot about the "fiscal cliff," political paralysis, the debt ceiling and other really scary topics. These issues are not insignificant but should they keep you from investing? After all, in any given year, you won't have to look hard to find warnings and negative news events and many people do use these ominous-sounding headlines as a reason to head to the investment "sidelines" for awhile.
But if you're not investing, you're unquestionably missing out on opportunities to make progress toward your financial goals. So instead of focusing on the news of the day, make your investment decisions based on the fundamentals of those investments you may be considering, along with your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.
o Keep whittling away your debt. Over the past few years, Americans have done a good job of lowering their debt burdens. Of course, the economy is still tough, and it can be challenging to avoid taking on new debts. But the less debt you have, the more you can invest for your retirement and other important objectives.
o Rebalance your portfolio to accommodate your risk tolerance. If you spend too much time worrying about the ups and downs of your investments, then your portfolio's potential for volatility may be too great for your individual risk tolerance.
On the other hand, if you continually see little growth in your holdings, even when the financial markets are going strong, you may be investing too conservatively especially if you are willing to take on some calculated risk to potentially boost your returns. So review your portfolio at least once in 2013 to see if it needs to be "rebalanced" to fit your risk tolerance.
o Get some help. Navigating the investment world by yourself is not easy. For one thing, there's a lot to know; different types of investments, changing tax laws, the effects of inflation, interest rate movements and much more. Furthermore, when you're making investment decisions on your own, you may have a hard time being objective so you might end up investing with your heart and not your head.
The need for knowledge and objectivity are two advantages of working with an experienced financial professional, someone who understands both the financial markets and your individual needs and goals.
These aren't the only financial resolutions you could make for 2013 but if you follow through on them, you may well need to make fewer ones when 2014 rolls around.
For more information or a free, no-obligation portfolio review, call Edward Jones investment representative Jamie Chapogas at (772) 463-7189.

After the roof, further restoration was undertaken. The Coast Guard moved emergency backup equipment to the watch room on the upper floor of the tower, allowing us to remove the partitions and open the main floor of the fog signal building back into one large room.
In August, 1999, in celebration of National Lighthouse Day and the Ninetieth Anniversary of the lighting of the Point Cabrillo Light, we held a bang up party (listed in Sunset Magazine) to show off the beautiful Fresnel lens and the progress we had made in the restoration. We still had a long way to go, but everyone who came that day agreed that the Lighthouse was well on its way!
Restoration of any aged building alongside a coastline takes a lot of time to do properly. It gets even more complicated when a building like the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse has 8 exposed roof rafters and 36 exposed rafter tails, each badly deteriorated from years of coastal weather. Normal building procedure would be to replace them with new material, but the overriding goal of a restoration is to maintain as much of the original structure as possible by repairing components instead of replacing them. To achieve this, each piece had to be carefully removed from the building, gently stripped of paint, the damaged sections carved away by hand and the remaining wood strengthened with consolidating epoxies, the voids filled and sculpted to original contours, the piece primed, painted and reinstalled.
As of spring 2000, the foundation, structural components, wall sheathing and roof were finished and most other components of the lighthouse neared completion of their individual restorations. Working into another cold and unusually wet July, the crew installed all of the new windows and the building's corner and skirting trim. They then completed siding on the south and east sides of the building using replacement siding especially milled to match the original. The west and north sides were prepped and replaced by August. With a final coat of paint, the crew was ready for the interior during the stormy winter months.

Plaza Cinema
70 Duncan Road,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Located in Gillingham, Kent. The Plaza Cinema was opened on 12th October 1931 with Maurice Chevalier in "Monte Carlo". It was designed in a Neo-Classical style by architect E.J. Hammond. The proscenium was 28 feet wide, and the cinema was equipped with a Western Electric(WE) sound system.
It was closed on 29th November 1980 with Michael Caine in "Dressed to Kill". The building was converted into a studio for Southern Television, which opened on 4th March 1982. They had moved out by the early-1990's, and the building became a Laser gaming room. This had closed by 2000, when it had been demolished and an Aldi Supermarket now operates from the site.

Grapes: 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 58% Merlot, 3% Cot and 5% Petit Verdot.
Tasting: Deep garnet red in appearance with a purple luster. On the nose, where the full impression has yet to develop, there is a suggestion of summer berries with notes of blackcurrant. The tasting reveals a wine of rather supple attack, distinguished by a firm, tannic structure which is the mark of all Cabernet Sauvignons and which a further year's development will help to render more supple.
Kept in reserve for the time being, the 1997 Château Haut-Beauséjour still has some years' maturation to go before coming into its own. A masculine wine of classic Saint-Estèphe style.

Nintendo DSi Sells 500,000 in JapanThe next revision to the Nintendo DS handheld, the Nintendo DSi, has sold over 500,000 units in Japan so far, according to Gamasutra.
The DSi was released in Japan on November 1 for around $180. The handheld updates the existing Nintendo DS hardware with a slimmer frame, bigger screens, support for downlodable games, two cameras, and an SD card slot.
A report by media firm Enterbrain notes that over 24 million Nintendo DS handhelds have been sold in Japan since the system's debut in 2004, with the DS Lite accounting for 17 million of those sales. Combined with other territories, the DS platform has sold over 84 million units worldwide.
The DSi is expected to hit North America sometime after April 2009.

September 21, 2011— Out & Equal Workplace Advocates applauds President Barack Obama for including gay and lesbian rights in his address to the United Nations General Assembly.
"President Obama's words at the General Assembly are an incredible step forward," said Selisse Berry, Executive Director of Out & Equal Workplace Advocates. "We hope that this powerful message is taken to heart by leaders of countries where equality is a distant dream."
In a groundbreaking move in New York on Wednesday, United States President Barak Obama addressed the United Nations General Assembly and stated, "No country should deny people their rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion, but also no country should deny people their rights because of who they love, which is why we must stand up for the rights of gays and lesbians everywhere."
This is the first time that the President of the United States has used his annual General Assembly address to call on the world's heads of state to reaffirm that every person has the right to love whom they choose. The President's words today have special meaning given where he was speaking. Seventy-six countries have laws that make same-sex acts illegal -- and five consider same sex acts an act punishable by death.
While Obama's words have special meaning for gay and lesbian individuals across the globe, Out & Equal also calls upon the President to continue to be a leader, not only for all sexual orientations, but also for all gender identities by moving forward with the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and supporting marriage equality so that all Americans can live free from discrimination.
Out & Equal Workplace Advocates stands for the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the workplace. "Every person has the right to love who they choose to love, without fear of discrimination," Berry continued. "We hope that the President's words will have a profound impact so that all global citizens can enjoy freedom and equality."

Women's cardiac care has changed in many ways in the 20 years since Dorothy Eberhardt first began receiving care at Rush University Medical Center. What hasn't changed is the compassionate, personal attention that Eberhardt has received over the years from her cardiologist, Annabelle Volgman, MD, medical director of the Rush Heart Center for Women.
Eberhardt's treatment predates the Heart Center for Women itself, which opened in 2003 to provide comprehensive care to address the unique needs of women with heart problems.
The center was created because heart disease often is misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed in women. "Women's heart attack symptoms frequently are ignored or overlooked," Volgman says. "Studies showed back in the 1980s that men in their 40s were dying of heart attacks. It took another decade for the same studies to show that women were dying of heart attacks, too — just usually not until after menopause."
As a result, doctors were not routinely trained to diagnose heart disease in women — a problem compounded by the fact that women often have different heart attack symptoms than men.
Specialized Care
Eberhardt's case provides an example of this problem. When she went to see her doctor for her severe chest pains in January 1985, he gave her pain medication and sent her home. When the pain didn't improve after a day, she returned to her doctor and was sent to a hospital, where it was determined that she was having a heart attack.
Although she survived, Eberhardt eventually began experiencing arrhythmias — irregular heartbeats that can cause sudden cardiac death. In addition, her heart attack caused congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart doesn't pump sufficient quantities of blood to the rest of the body.
In 1990, her cardiologist determined she needed specialized care and referred her to Volgman, whose expertise includes treatment of arrhythmias. "Women don't suffer from sudden cardiac death and atrial fibrillation (the most common form of arrhythmia) as much as men, but they have higher mortality rates," Volgman says. "They have more symptoms but aren't treated as aggressively. We've learned a lot about women and atrial fibrillation based on studies we've done at Rush."
Help for the Heart
Eberhardt's condition stabilized, and she no longer has symptoms of heart failure. Eventually, though, she needed additional help for her arrhythmias. Ten years ago, she had a defibrillator — a device that sends an electronic charge to the heart if it begins beating irregularly in order to jolt it back into a proper rhythm — implanted in her chest.
Like heart medications, defibrillator technology has advanced significantly over the last two decades. They now include the ability to pace the heart out of arrhythmia. "It doesn't just shock the patient, it can help the heart recover and get marked improvement in function," Volgman says.
A Lasting Relationship
In 2004, 14 years after she began receiving care from Volgman, Eberhardt and her husband celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. They invited Volgman to the party and paid tribute to her there, crediting her with making the event possible. "I don't think I'd be alive if it wasn't for her," Eberhardt says.
Eberhardt lives in Kankakee, a 90-minute drive to Rush, but she continues to travel to Rush every three to four months for her treatment because of the personal connection she feels with Volgman. "She absolutely cares about all her patients, not just me," she says.
And it's not just Volgman who has earned Eberhardt's affection: "The entire staff at the Heart Center for Women is great at treating the whole person — not just the heart."

Temporary Debt Ceiling, Delinquents and Giveaways
January 8, 2010 by Chip Wood
*A very temporary new debt ceiling. In its last action before shutting down for the Christmas holidays the Senate voted 60-39 on Christmas Eve to raise the U.S. debt ceiling by $240 billion, to a grand total of $12.4 trillion. The new funds won't last long, however. At the present rate of spending the government will run out of money by mid-February.
*Here's one way to pay the bills. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reports that some 276,000 current and retired federal employees are in arrears on paying their income taxes. The total owed Uncle Sam by these deadbeats comes to a little more than $3 billion. Among cabinet agencies, the Department of Housing and Urban Development had the highest delinquency rate at just over 4 percent.
*Let's stop giving it away. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack recently promised that the United States would give $1 billion to developing countries that work to preserve their forests. This means that the U.S., already $12 trillion in debt and facing another trillion-dollar deficit, will borrow the money from China, to send to Brazil, to bribe them to stop cutting down their own trees.
*But Hillary wants to spend a lot more. Vilsack's promise of $1 billion to preserve the Amazon rain forests seemed modest indeed compared to the promise at Copenhagen from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She pledged that the U.S. will lead a campaign to provide $100 billion a year, starting in 2020, "to address climate change needs in developing countries." Where will the money come from? See the first item above.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY --With healthful kids meals and children's nutrition remaining a top culinary trend for 2014, according to a new report from the National Restaurant Association, Applebee's restaurants have announced a completely redesigned kids menu with 10 meals that meet the NRA's Kids LiveWell nutrition criteria and more than 650 combinations of entrees, sides and beverages.
The new kids menu moves away from a "one-size-fits-all" approach to a two-tiered entrée option with a selection of sides and beverages to complete the meal. With 26 menu items, the new Applebee's kids menu offers more items than any other national casual dining restaurant, including kid-approved favorites and healthier options.
The 10 new meals approved by Kids LiveWell are the most among all national casual dining restaurant brands. Of note, French fry orders declined from 73 to 39 percent during a three-month testing period for the new Applebee's kids menu.
"The new Applebee's kids' menu includes:
A two-tiered menu with entrée options for older kids with bigger appetites and younger kids with smaller appetites.
10 new Kids LiveWell-approved meals with three entrée options, including chicken, steak and pasta. Previously, the Applebee's kids' menu had just two meals that qualified under the Kids LiveWell nutritional guidelines.
Two Kids LiveWell-approved side items, and 11 total side choices, including Kids LiveWell-approved and all-natural GoGo squeeZ Applesauce and Kids LiveWell-approved steamed broccoli, apple slices with all-natural yogurt, all-natural yogurt and strawberries, white rice, salads and carrots or celery with ranch dressing.
On Sunday Family Day, all kids meals are just $1.99.
The St. Lucie County Applebee's are located at 4898 Okeechobee Road in Fort Pierce; and, at 10501 South U.S. Hwy. 1 in Port St. Lucie.

Identity Based on Conditioning (are you really an Individual?)
Your Parents and Elders are always telling you to be yourself, or be your own person. They encourage you to try new things as you grow up and always are trying to raise you to be individual. But the very act of raising a child invoves conditioning, instilling certain values and interests into children via words or actions, and not only this, but teachers and many other people influence a growing child in many different ways. So the question is, Are you realy an individual if your childhood is conditioned?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jul 27 2012: Identity is an interesting concept. We humans have many of the same attributes, opinions, emotions, and experiences; however, our interpretations differ which is what makes us individuals. I think the answer to your debate is that yes we are individuals because no matter how much our childhood is conditioned we have the capacity to think subjectively for ourselves at a certain age.
I hope this makes sense, good debate!

Restaurant reaps rewards after it bans tipping
One owner says his sales jumped -- and his employees' pay rose -- after he did away with subjective gratuities.
Tipping helps ensure a better dining experience by rewarding wait staff for attentiveness and quick service, right?
Actually, not so much. The Linkery restaurant founder Jay Porter explains that his company disproved the industry's assumptions about tipping after he banned the practice in his second year of business.
"We instead applied a straight 18% service charge to all dining-in checks and refused to accept any further payment," Porter writes at Quartz.
That made the Linkery the first restaurant "where you couldn't pay more money than the amount we charged you." But he says instead of his waitstaff's performance lagging, "our service improved, our revenue went up, and both our business and employees made more money."
Research backs up Porter's assertion that tipping actually promotes bad service and doesn't always reward hard workers. For starters, servers who get the most tips are thin white women in their 30s with large breasts, according to research from Cornell University professor Michael Lynn.
But discrimination also swings in the other direction, Porter notes. Servers often profile guests, providing better service to those they believe will offer big tips. That creates "negative experiences for the many restaurant customers who are women, ethnic minorities, elderly or from foreign countries," he notes.
Tipping also encourages servers to maximize the number of guests they serve, which can lower the quality of their work.
Some top New York City restaurateurs recently discussed the issue of banning tipping via Twitter but were shot down by their own servers, Eater.com notes. That might be due to the potential for servers to haul in big tips on busy nights, but the truth is that many workers who rely on tips aren't exactly rolling in the dough.
The median annual wage for servers is about $18,540, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (While tips are taxable income, some people working in tip-based industries underreport their income, contributing to the $2 trillion shadow economy.)
To be sure, it's not as if flat service rates are unknown in restaurants. Automatic gratuities are the norm at many eateries for big parties, often charged 18% for tables of six or more.
But a June lawsuit over the practice indicates flat-rate tips may have a tough time gaining traction. Ted Dimond, 47, is suing Darden Restaurants' (DRI) Olive Garden and Red Lobster in Time Square, among other restaurants, for adding automatic gratuities to bills.
"They'll have an automatic gratuity in the price and then they'll have a line for an optional tip, but a tip and a gratuity are exactly the same thing," his attorney, Evan Spencer, told CBS Local. "They want to squeeze that extra little dollar out of everybody."
Follow Aimee Picchi on Twitter at @aimeepicchi.
There should be no "tip" figured in. The cost should be the cost--if the service is so bad that a tip wouldn't have been given, then the manager should be taking something off the bill for the inconvenience. It is stupid to do "tipping"--it is a hold-over from segregation (when most servers were black), is demeaning, and serves to make diners feel as if they are Lord and Lady Beneficient.
Just pay the servers minimum wage to start, and increase their salaries as they show their worth--there's no need for the stupid "tip" industry (not to mention, that will do away with the $2 trillion shadow industry).
Just price the meals at an increased price and pay your servers a percentage of the gross bill.
Example: Hamburger: $5.00
18% gratuity .90 Total Cost $5.90
Next example: Hamburger $5.90
0% gratuity and a NO Tipping clearly stated Total cost $5.90
In the "Next" example you then give the server 15-16% of the bill ($5.90) and there you have it.
No Tip. No added gratuity.
Folks, this is not rocket science.
It is interesting how different experiences are.
A friend and I had lunch yesterday and we both tipped the water, who did and excellent job, 25% of the ticket. My friend decided he wanted another glass of wine and asked the water to bring it.
Since the check had already been closed out and the tip paid on those charges, my friend just gave the waiter an extra dollar when he brought the $5 glass of wine.. The waiter smarted off about "who gives a dollar tip" after already being given a $12 tip from my friend for his $45 lunch.
My friend was extremely pissed and just reached over and pick up the dollar himself and put it back in his billfold, smiled at the waiter and said "thank you".
I always thought TIP was an acronym for "To Improve Performance". If so, getting a TIP implies you're a slacker.
I'm OK with what the restaurant has done. It makes sense to me. But, when you add a fixed TIP percentage onto the bill, aren't you really just increasing the price so you can pay your employees a decent salary?
Ha Ha Ha... add that automatic gratuity if you want to! I may be only a small percentage of the average dining populationl, but I am a great tipper for any server regardless of gender, looks, race, etc. - right up until I see the automatic gratuity on my check.
I tip well over the 20% rule, usually about 40-50% of the check depending on overall service and the cost of the meal. But always at the very least a respectable amount because I understand the garbage that servers and retail workers have to endure. Thankless, ungrateful management and rude customers make for a very hostile environment which is one of the many why very few stay in those professions for an entire career.
With all of that, once you take away my right to decide what I think an appropriate amount for a tip then I will not complain, you just saved me money! That 18% is normally well below what you would have gotten in a tip if you left the decision to me. Some establishments will remove the 18% automatic gratuity if you ask them, and then I tip the server an appropriate amount. Others will not, and then I just let that server know that their managements policy just cost them money. Also, if that gratuity is automatically added to the check then the server has no choice but to claim that measly 18% tip and pay a tax on it.

Don't fall for the trickery!!!
So I got on my desktop this evening after work, and voila! My mouse won't move farther than 20px in any direction! I tried rebooting, searching Google, and other silly troubleshooting tasks. After about 10 minutes, which is when I was thinking that I need to re-install Windows 8, I realized I left my Wacom Splash tablet plugged in… guess where the pen for the tablet was?… sitting right on the tablet. Thus, my mouse wouldn't move because it was accepting input from the tablet, which wasn't moving.
So remember kids, don't be dumb like me.

In 2007 Dominican's School of Education and Counseling Psychology initiated a project in which teacher candidates were sent to South Africa to work in math and science classrooms with 9-12 grade students living in poverty. These students were being educated in a post-apartheid education system.
In the past five years we have expanded this program in partnership with Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. Dominican students from the School of Education and Counseling Psychology, School of Health and Natural Sciences, and School of Business and Leadership work together in interdisciplinary teams in township public high schools to improve the academic and life skills for 9-12 grade students.
The project runs every July-August for approximately four weeks.

Great place to stay in Outer Banks
The place was exactly as described. It looked even better than it looks in the photos provided. It is very close to the beach, it's less than 5 minutes walking. The amenities were great and the place feels new and modern. The price was great and fits 11 people very comfortably. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is planning to stay in Outer Banks for a nice beach vacation.
Just Splendid
My family and I stayed for a week in, August. It was wonderful. Spacious, comfortable, relaxing and clean. The location couldn't have been better for us. Centrally located with easy access to everywhere we wanted to go. The only thing we regret is that we didn't book this lovely home for 2 weeks. My elderly parents were so happy they can't wait to go back. The owner and the realty company were wonderful to work with and everything was seamless. A + to everyone. You made your home feel as though it was our own home. Thank you for letting us create some terrific memories.

By WAYNE PARRY | AP
BRICK, N.J. (AP) -- The community that was hardest-hit by Superstorm Sandy is preparing to use eminent domain to take small strips of land from oceanfront homeowners who are holding up a critically needed beach replenishment project.
Mantoloking is expected to hire an attorney Tuesday to institute condemnation proceedings against a handful of holdouts who won't sign easements that would allow federal officials to carry out the work.
The work is desperately needed in Mantoloking, which saw every one of its 521 homes damaged, with scores destroyed. It would pay compensation for any land taken.
Mayor George Nebel predicted that only four or five residents will ultimately refuse to sign. He said the town has no choice if it wants to survive.

Goals Matter! Whenever you're doing any kind of marketing, including social media marketing, you need to have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve. When thinking about your dealership's social media there are 5 important things to keep in mind that will help you make your goals 'S.M.A.R.T'.
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Attainable
R = Realistic
T = Timely
Be Specific:
When stating your goal, make sure it's very clean and states exactly what you expect. You can achieve this by answering the Who, What, Where and Why.
- What: What are you trying to accomplish with social media? Get fans? Find followers?
- Why: Specific purpose or benefits you're hoping to achieve. Are you trying to get more on site traffic? More web traffic?
- Who: Who needs to be involved?
- Where: Does your goal take place in a specific area? Facebook? Twitter? YouTube?
Social media goals need to be measured. It can be anything from: "We need to sell at least 5 units with this promotion" or "We need to reach XX number of people". To effectively measure, you'll need to track your efforts.
Make sure to set your goal at an attainable level. To get 1 million video views isn't an attainable goal. To get 10-25 "likes" on Facebook is something more realistic.
Does this goal make sense for your dealership? Do your social media efforts fit with the overall direction of your dealership's marketing?
When are you going launch your social media campaign? When should you have it completed? If your answer is more than a year or two, you should break it up into smaller attainable goals. What could you accomplish in 6 months?

Shooting for City Eats, the Food Network's restaurant reservation and food interest website, continues to satisy me on so many levels. They send me off to shoot some the DC area's best restaurants—high-energy shooting with a lot of creative inspiration and wonderful people. The food is always visually beautiful and tastes great. I shared some of my first shots for City Eats in a blog post a few months ago. Here are some of my favorite shots from recent City Eats assignments. The colorful plate above is Maine Lobster Pappardelle with Baby Carrots, English Peas and Lobster Cognac Essence at Marcel's.
I try to contain myself, but I really do feel like jumping up and down with joy when they bring out the food. The chefs just keep getting better and better. The dish above is Restaurant Eve's Agnolotti with Almond, Carrot Butter, Ricotta and Tamarind.
Ideally, I like to get to these restaurants between shifts to allow enough quiet time for shooting several composed plates–then, when possible, I love to segue into shooting the start of lunch or dinner service as the tension and pace build. Above is the bustling dining room of The Majestic.
Above is The Majestic's Chesapeake Bay Seafood Stew.
At Vidalia Restaurant, I got into the kitchen for close-up shots of cooking and service, below.
I grabbed a quick shot of Vidalia's Caramel Layer Cake with Buttermilk Ice Cream…as it whisked out of the kitchen.
I'll share more favorite shots from City Eats assignments again soon. Meanwhile, check out their excellent website to reserve a table and to read some excellent DC food writers' articles on restaurant news.


text: Aside from the rebellion he has started, he was a little behind in school. Though, he's used to juggling so many things at once hee figured that he needed to catch up. Maybe even get a little ahead of his classes. He asked his teachers to give him the work three weeks before it was given to the rest of the class. He spent all day where he hoped that no one would interrupt him with his task. He sighed. School really wasn't hard, that's why he could sleep though half of his class and still maintain a good grade point avenge. He finally after hours lifted his head and noticed that everyone was gone. Except for the librarian, but she always let him stay even when she leaves. He heard a few footsteps, but decided it was probably Rolo spying on him so he tried to just ignore it. "I figured you would come find me." He stated.

Continuing discoveries in molecular biology, genetics, and process science provide the foundation for new and improved processes and products in today's biochemical process industry. The production of therapeutic proteins, which is made possible by discoveries in biotechnology, generated sales exceeding $120 billion in 2012. In addition, biotechnology has led to marked improvement and expansion in the traditional biochemical process industry for production of enzymes, diagnostics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and foods. Continued introduction of new technology necessitates innovation in process development scale-up and design. As a consequence, there is the need to design new, as well as to improve existing, processes. An integral and cost intensive part of these processes is associated with downstream processing for product isolation and purification.

About Carol
Carol Sanford has been a respected innovator in educating and advising business in creating extraordinary traditional success while at the same time creating a better world. She has worked with businesses for almost four decades who have successfully done so BY building great businesses, not creating programs for responsible practices. Responsibility will not only be in the DNA with everyone contributing, but the current approaches of doing less harm, following best practices and working with fragments will have given way to working from a living systems view that makes all systems more vital, viable and able to regenerate themselves, without tradeoffs.
To that end, Carol has been leading major consulting change efforts in both Fortune 500 and new-economy businesses for more than 30 years. Her client list includes long-term relationships with Colgate Europe and Africa and DuPont Canada, US, Asia and Europe. One Google Innovation Lab using her work to change global food systems. She also works with new-economy companies like Intel, Agilent and leaders of change such as Seventh Generation.
Central to Carol's philosophy and approach is a reimagined look at what makes an organization truly responsible. "It's important to find out what differentiates your business and cannot be copied by competitor because they cannot be you;" she says, "and then thinking about how to do business so that communities, societies, and ecology as a whole are improved. These are not separate but interwoven pursuits. It's completely doable, and a conversation worth having."
Carol's first book, Carol The Responsible Business: Reimagining Sustainability and Success (published by Jossey-Bass) has won numerous awards including Best General Book by the International Book Awards, Top Fifteen Business Books by CNBC, Bullish on Books, and was in the Top Five General Business Books by 800CEOREAD, the largest distributor of business books in the world, and it was shortlisted for Best Business Book of the Year, out of 11,000 business books. Her book is required reading at Harvard Business School, Stanford Engineering and Management Science, and MIT Sloan, among others. Her second book, The Responsible Entrepreneur: Four Game-Changing Archetypes for Founders, Leaders and Impact Investors, will hit shelves in July 2014 with the award for Best Entrepreneur and Small Business book for 2011 and 30 Best Business Books of 2014 by Soundview. [Click here to purchase]
Every year since 2012 she has been named one of the Top 100 Thought Leaders in Trustworthy Business Behavior. She is a guest blogger for CNBC's business blogs, the Stanford Social Innovation Review, American Express Open Forum, and CSRwire. Carol has published dozens of works in 10 languages, including a series of articles in "Executive Excellence," Stephen Covey's newsletter and "At Work," a Berrett - Koehler Journal.
She holds undergraduate degrees from UC Berkeley in Economics and Public Law and a graduate degree from California State University, San Jose in Urban Planning. She currently lives in Edmonds, Washington.
