- what happened to this place?OpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 9/27/2014used to love north, the menu isn't as good as it used to be. my tuna had something that tasted like turkey gravy on it. not that i am going back, but too bad you got rid of the gluten free snicker doodle cookie in the skillet. when i request a table downstairs in advance and are forced upstairs because the owner is accommodating friends, it's annoying. upstairs is quiet and downstairs is lively. completely different evening.
- Outstanding food and servicePedroDined on 9/27/2014We were celebrating our 23 wedding anniversary. We could have not selected a better restaurant for the ocassion. Food was delicious, the maitre and the waiters did a fantastic job making us feel very well It was our first visit to this restaurant and it is now in our top list for future ocassionsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/26/2014We were celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary and at the recommendation of a friend, we booked North. Our first impression of North was not great (and they knew about the anniversary). We were seated upstairs in the corner directly behind the air conditioning vent. The atmosphere upstairs was stagnating. For twenty minutes, our server spent more time talking about her personal life with a couple nearby. Tired for our waiting for our server to return with our drinks and the lack of service, we asked for another table. We were moved downstairs, which had a better vibe and much more energetic. The restaurant redeemed itself - they treated us to drinks and dessert for our anniversary, and the service downstairs was superior to upstairs.Special Features:
- Food4ThoughtDined on 9/23/2014I have been eating at North since it opened. I am a real fan of the menu - something for everyone. From delicate omelet and risotto to full on burger. This occasion was a celebratory lunch. My team left smiling....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NorthfoodisloveDined on 9/19/2014Food here is always wonderful, although my friend's dish (the chicken) was a bit salty for her taste. Wine by the glass a little pricy, considering the level of the pour (a bit skimpy). A little noisy downstairs.Special Features:
- Great Meal as AlwaysFrancophileADDined on 9/17/2014Wonderful food, amazing service, great wine list make this Armonk gem a place I keep wanting to return to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So disappointed!mimiVIPDined on 9/9/2014Every single thing was overly salted. Chicken burger, chips, salad dressing all very salty...omelet ok but fries so salty. It ruined the meal completely. Have been there 3x before and always SO good. This time a big let down.
- Impeccable!!pisces312Dined on 9/6/2014My husband and I spent our first anniversary dinner here and it did not disappoint! I have been in restaurant management/hospitality for over 15 years and was impressed with the thorough service and the attention to detail they provided us. They happily accommodated my pregnancy by offering a "mocktail" which was unique, different and equally delicious. The three courses we chose included confit of chicken wing risotto, squid ink cavatelli, lovely sweet and sour shortribs with sauteed greens and seared top round, tender veal over pomme puree... my mouth is still watering! Thank you again for a wonderful meal and also for the fresh baked muffins to go that I enjoyed with our kids the next morningSpecial Features:
- avalon1188VIPDined on 9/6/2014Restaurant North is always a favorite for it's farm to table food done amazingly inventively. However, we waited about 20 minutes for a table we had a reservation for which was empty but they just couldn't get it set up? Also, the din in the restaurant is very loud so its hard to hear the people you are seated with. The food is outstanding so it makes up for the flaws.Special Features:
- disappointedLocalYokelDined on 9/6/2014We've been regulars at North since it opened, and this last visit was disappointing. The chef is terrific and the food was terrific as always, far better than almost every suburban restaurant. But we waited far too long, well over 40 minutes, between our appetizers and our entrees, and I'm quite sure no one on the staff gave it a thought. This may be ok and understandable with a large party, but not for just a party of two. I loved the scallops, but honestly, does any one think three is the right number of scallops? And if a portion is going to be small, perhaps someone could have warned me and suggested I add a side dish? Finally, I have a special love for Ethiopian coffee. But $12 for a cup? I don't think so.Special Features:
- Foodie heavenNoCompromiseDined on 9/6/2014It was our first time to North. The experience was super. Ambience was calm and airy. Our server was fantastic. The wine list is comprehensive and worth the time to explore. We had their signature Bloody Mary's while we took the time to pick a bottle. The combination of tastes is genius. We had the pork belly with a polenta sauce. The biscuits and seasoned pepper and mint butter should not be missed.Special Features:
- The BestBillVIPDined on 9/5/2014North is the best. Pure and simple. Inspired dining.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our favorite!!!!EvePDined on 9/5/2014Interesting menu, fabulous food and incredible service. A don't miss!Special Features:
- far inferior to prior visitsgreygeekVIPDined on 8/31/2014North WAS our favorite restaurant in Westchester and we were saddened by our last visit. The food was served cold. Wine (our selection) was sub-par, but in a fine restaurant, we would have been given an alternative when we commented on our level of disappointment. The service was far less enthusiatic than on other visits.Special Features:
- Sea scallopsOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014I really enjoyed dinner on a busy Saturday night. Food was delicious and the service was professional friendly and attentive. My only criticism is with the fact that my entree included only 3 scallops for $31. There was a large, medium and medium/small scallop and it left me in unsatisfied from a portion size perspective.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentaleseDined on 8/27/2014Every dish the 4 of us had was amazing. From bread to dessert! Nice touch sending us home with breakfast muffins!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointed!DisappointedVIPDined on 8/26/2014We really like North, however, they are horrible at reservations. We had 8 pm reservation and didn't get seated until 8:30. Our server, while pleasant was slow. My dinner (veal) was served cold. And, all night we saw muffins delivered with the check. When we got our check, we had no muffins. When I asked we were told they had run out. That was insult to injury!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A bad night, or gone downhill?DavidgrDined on 8/23/2014I've been a big fan of North and have been there 5 or more times for dinner. It's been outstanding each and every time until my most recent visit. When we were seated our waiter told us that they were out of scallops. Okay... that happens. So my wife ordered tuna. The waiter then came back and told us "no tuna" so she ordered veal. Bread was brought to the table, but the waiter apologized that there was only one kind... they were out of the others. Service was very slow. We waited a long time to order a bottle of wine, a long time to order our meals and a long time for the food to be delivered. Previously meals were great. This time it wasn't bad... just ok. I may be back, but there are alot of other restaurants I prefer.Special Features:
- Everything fresh and delicious!ChefmommaDined on 8/22/2014We enjoyed everything we ordered! We started with the lamb carbonara. Wow! Amazing flavors from this dish of homemade pappardelle. We also enjoyed a salad of farm fresh tomatoes delicately flavored with fresh herbs and olive oil. The pork belly dish was outstanding as were the short ribs. I usually never order deserts, but made an exception and ordered the panna cotta. It was one of the lightest and the creamiest I have ever had. The chocolate chip cookie served with homemade vanilla ice cream was also terrific. Loved the presentation of our dishes and the goodies to take home. 5 stars all the way! The downstairs room is lively and fun. Next time I'll ask for a table by the window.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- THEMAYORVIPDined on 8/22/2014~~CHEF ERIC, HIS SERVICE AND WINE TEAM, CONSTANTLY RAISE THE BAR FOR EXCELLENCE FOR THE FRESHEST INGREDIENTS AND ECLECTIC WINE LIST. ~~THE RESTAURANT'S EVER-CHANGING MENU GUARANTEES A VARIETY OF CULINARY EXPERIENCES USING TOP-GRADE FOOD ITEMS. ~~RESTAURANT NORTH IS A DEFINITE 'GO-TO' RESTAURANT THAT IS A TREASURE IN THE ARMONK AREA!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/21/2014Excellent prix-fixe lunch options with extremely fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. Couldn't have had a more pleasant lunch.Special Features:
- Just So-soRoRoVIPDined on 8/20/2014Lunch at North on Wednesday was pleasant, but the food, although interesting, was too salty for my friend. The salad accompanying my chicken burger was inedible. The dressing was pure lemon juice! Dessert was very good.
- Couldn't be worse!NotnowVIPDined on 8/19/2014We went when it first opened, and had a horrible experience, tried it again with friends... Food was cold, service awful, portions tiny! Music was horrible. Eden the bread was bad... Never again
- DeliciouswolvesandwineDined on 8/19/2014Went in for dinner to treat my brother for his birthday after having lunch here a few weeks ago. The heirloom tomato salad was simple, delicious and so fresh. Buuba's burger was huge and those fries were super tasty. Service was on point and not overbearing. Overall a great place to eat for lunch and dinnerSpecial Features:
- Excellent Service and SurpriseMichaelWDined on 8/17/2014Really excellent spot - great food, service, atmosphere, and highly creative fresh twists to old themes. When I booked my reservation on Open Table I mentioned it was my daughter's b-day, and they went out of their way to recognize her special day. Well Done!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2001VIPDined on 8/15/2014Cute bar, nice decor, solid but not extraordinary food. You almost feel like you are dining in Manhattan but you can't hear yourself think.Special Features:
- Just so soWorkinmommieVIPDined on 8/6/2014Good food, very interesting (like a hazelnut encrusted soft boiled egg with pancetta) but very pricey, limited menu options and not much for the gluten free folk. Also the view is of a parking lot so it's not much to look at. Don't know if I will return.Special Features:
- Truly awfulUESCriticVIPDined on 8/3/2014This was the worst meal I have had in a long time--and really expensive. Each of the five of us had fish, which was presented in tiny portions surrounded by dark, greasy vegetables. Something called cooked root vegetables appeared on the table, and they looked like something that I would pull out of my garden and throw in a pan without thinking of how they were presented. Yes, the setting is nice, but you still want a good meal.All in all, very disappointing.
- EXCELLENT French toastFlxusvirusDined on 8/2/2014EXCELLENT French toast, Good at blunch, intimate feelingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place for DinnerCJdursDined on 8/1/2014The food and service were great. Our meal took a little longer then the restaurant would have liked but my wife and I hadn't even noticed. At the end of the meal they brought us a free desert and apologized for the delay without us ever complaining about anything. Service like that is what serperats good restaurants from great restaurants. I will definitely be returning and I will definitely recommend to everyone I know.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DelectableScarlettDined on 7/31/2014Each item we ordered was incredibly delicious and visually appealing. We look forward to our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best thing I have eaten in 2014KellyVIPDined on 7/31/2014The Smoked Salmon Flatbread and Kale and Quinoa Salad with Preserved Lemon Dressing! Outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Siberia with open tableBistroDined on 7/30/2014Every time I book with open table I am seated in Siberia. Why?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mediocreRadarDined on 7/25/2014We were seated on the second floor which is totally devoid of ambience. The service was excellent and the food was very good but my steak was undercooked and nothing special. It was fairly expensive. I wouldn't go back. Too many better choices in the vicinity including Moderne Barn.
- Another fabulous mealDeadEdVIPDined on 7/23/2014Each time North does not disappoint. Went with friends who had never been and they were effusive in their praise. Bobo's chicken may be the most delicious chicken dish on the planet. Always have to save room for the chocolate chip cookie in the skillet with Killer Chocolate ice cream. Can't wait to return.Special Features:
- Great food, not great valurRonniTVIPDined on 7/23/2014Restaurant has a limited menu with very high prices, but dishes very flavorful and creative.Special Features:
- Awesome LunchwolvesandwineDined on 7/23/2014North has a great prix-fixe menu for lunch! (3 courses only $25). The risotto with the confit chicken wing was excellent, very nice and creamy. They had a "happy waitress" sandwich which was and old time favorite of mine... so delicious! Great steal for lunch!! Definitely a must goSpecial Features:
- Perfect Summer Lunch!GingerVIPDined on 7/22/2014This is a great oasis for foodies tucked into the charming village atmosphere of Armonk. The roasted pig on the prix fixe menu was memorable as was the entire dining experience. A business lunch or a break from the usual daily routine are perfect reasons to splurge on this excellent restaurant.Special Features:
- Expensive but very goodgcminVIPDined on 7/19/2014This was our second visit and there will be more in the future. The food is very good and there are ample choices. Portion sizes were reasonable, although prices are on the high side. All four of us had different items and we were unanimous in our positive opinions. The wine list is a bit eclectic, and prices are fair (we had a delicious Macari Chardonnay, a Long Island vintner). The ever changing menu makes for an interesting evening, but also can be a challenge for those with allergies and particular diets. However, the plethora of gluten-free items is a pleasant aspect. Overall it is an excellent dining experience albeit at a high price.Special Features:
- Might have just been out entreeDateNightDined on 7/18/2014We were very happy the ambiance, wine, and food service. But two of us ordered the cavatelli with lobster for $29 entree size portions only to be disappointed. There was no taste, the consistency of the pasta was that of day old play-doh, and where was the lobster? The other members of our party were pleased with their entree so maybe we just picked the wrong entree. But for that price tag and the outstanding reviews, we expected much more. We won't give the restaurant a second chance. It was that bad. If you go, just don't order pasta to be on the safe side.Special Features:

The Five Best Haircuts Makeovers of All Time
You're longing for a new haircut, but nothing too extreme. The solution: Choose from these five guaranteed-to-flatter cuts the bob, the shag, the pixie, long hair plus bangs, or long layers. You simply can't go wrong with any of them. We got five busy moms to test-drive them, with help from our beauty dream team: New York City hairstylist Sean James Decuers, colorist Rita Hazan, and makeup artist Mally Roncal. Pick your favorite look, then take it to your hairstylist stat. Find out how to avoid common hair mistakes and choose the best hair coloring products for dying your hair at home.
By Mary Rose Almasi
Long Hair With Bangs
Jill Hyman: After
Sure, they're cute on kids, but a little fringe can make grown-ups look youthful, too, by concealing a broad forehead and fine lines.
Cut and color: Decuers cut a wide swath of bangs just past the outer corners of Jill's eyes, then used a razor to place layers in her all-one-length hair. Hazan added caramel highlights, even to the bangs, to give her brown more depth.
Is it for you? Yes, if you want a dramatic change without lopping off too much length. Bangs need trimming every three weeks, so ask your stylist how to do it yourself, or if he offers free touch-ups.
Styling tips: Curl bangs under slightly with a paddle brush. "They look prettier if not blown stick straight," says Decuers.
Key makeup move: "Shiny lips play up a more youthful cut," says Roncal. Try Milani Buzz Worthy Lip Gloss in Bee Gone ($5.49, Walgreens).

In the April 2008 issue we published a story called "Fuel for Thought" that addressed the European diesel revolution coming to the United States. We gave you a peek at and offered speculation on some of the platforms likely to make the Transatlantic voyage for use on public roads here in America. Though still in its early stages, the revolution is now in full swing, spearheaded by four major German manufacturers. Here's the current state of affairs as we see it.
R8 Le Mans Don't get too excited-Audi has no concrete plans to build a production version of the R8 Le Mans, equipped with a V12 TDI producing a maximum 1,000 Nm of torque (about 740 lb-ft). Initially, designers had problems fitting a gearbox that could stand up to such a massive amount of twist, and the entire powertrain package proved a problematic fit in the existing R8 rear end. Reportedly, the concept vehicle is a completely new animal from the doors back, and building a road-going car to this spec could drive production costs into impossibility. But that doesn't mean Audi can't or won't build a high-performance diesel version of the car. A diesel-powered super sports car, especially one drawn so directly from Audi's legendary motorsports heritage, could go a long way in selling diesel technology to the unconverted masses.
Audi In contrast to Volkswagen of America, Audi USA may at first seem somewhat indifferent to the diesel revolution even though Audi AG is regarded by many as the world's leading diesel innovator. The company has promoted diesel technology with international motorsports programs and cross-country road events promoting the efficiency and reliability of the technology, but currently only has plans to sell the Q7 SUV with a 3.0-liter TDI engine. Sure, a Q7 with a TDI is what's needed to keep SUV sales moving, but you'd think that with the current demand for smaller, high-mileage vehicles something like a 46-mpg A3 would drive sales sky high. In Europe you're able to buy the A5 with a 3.0-liter TDI. Compare that to a U.S.-spec 3.2-liter gas engine (both are equipped with a six-speed manual transmission):
*A5 3.0 TDI Quattro (European-spec): 240 hp @ 4000 rpm, 368 lb-ft @ 1500 rpm0-62 mph in 5.9 sec., 35 mpg (combined cycle)
*A5 3.2 Quattro (U.S.-spec, gasoline): 265 hp @ 6500 rpm, 243 lb-ft @ 3000 rpm0-60 mph in 5.8 sec., 22 mpg (combined cycle)Based solely on the numbers, the choice seems obvious. The A5 3.0 TDI is as fast to 60 mph but gives a combined mpg increase of approximately 60 percent. Clearly, Audi has the tools and know-how to create some amazing diesel products, and it could be that we'll see further products come to the States in the future. But for now, Audi brass just isn't saying.
Current Model: Q7 3.0 TDI Engine: 3.0-liter V6, turbocharged, direct injectionOutput: 221 hp @ 4000 rpm, 405 lb-ft @ 2000 rpmEfficiency: 19/25 mpg
BMW Until recently, BMW never surprised anyone with its U.S.-bound vehicle/engine combos. Always predictable, it never really strayed, always building the same naturally aspirated engines, each generation more refined and with a bit more power. That was until, out of left field, the company announced it would be getting back into the turbo business, shortly after releasing the 3.0-liter N54 twin-turbo gasoline engine. BMW kept the surprises coming, shocking me with an even-more-ultimate driving machine equipped with a 50-state-legal, 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine with 265 hp and 425 lb-ft of torque that could propel a 3 Series sedan from zero to 60 mph in just 6 seconds. If you take a quick look at BMW's European heritage you can see that the company has actually been developing and refining diesel technology for more than 25 years; today, more than 67 percent of all BMW sold elsewhere in the world are diesels.
Current Models: 335dEngine: 3.0-liter I6, variable twin turbos, direct injectionOutput: 265 hp @ 4200 rpm, 425 lb-ft @ 1750 rpm0-60 mph: 6.0 sec.Efficiency: 23/33 mpgX6 xDrive35d Engine: 3.0-liter I6, variable twin turbos, direct injectionOutput: 265 hp @ 4200 rpm, 425 lb-ft @ 1750 rpm0-60 mph: 6.8 sec.Efficiency: 19/25 mpg
Mercedes-Benz When you think of diesel-powered passenger cars, Mercedes is likely the first to come to mind. You could say that Mercedes first introduced the American public to diesel, and some old Mercedes diesels have even reached a sort of iconic status. In the early 1980s more than half of company sales were diesels, and Mercedes would likely still be the reigning king had not U.S. emission standards constricted as tightly as they did. But today, with fuel prices as they are, it only makes sense that the company would have strategically placed its Bluetec V6 diesel engines in some of its heavier platforms, vehicles that could benefit from an increase in miles per gallon. But being an equal opportunity-diesel maker, all Mercedes that could benefit from a diesel engine could be getting one without a sacrifice in performance. Its modern performance and fuel economy stats clearly show that the new Bluetec is not your daddy's diesel engine.

Volkswagen Volkswagen has spent the latter part of a year prepping the American consumer for the coming diesel invasion. This campaign has included various industry and consumer shows and drive programs designed to dispel common myths and prove that diesels no longer make strange noises or spew clouds of smelly exhaust. In addition to this educational blitz, the company created a Jetta TDI Cup racing series to highlight the viability of modern diesel-powered race cars. The first batch of TDIs sold out before they hit the showroom floor, so it looks like the public got the message. To round out the product line, Volkswagen will be releasing the Touareg with a V6 TDI in early 2009, and by the end of 2009 a Rabbit TDI.
Current Models: Jetta TDI (Sedan, Sportwagen)Engine: 2.0-liter I4, turbocharged, direct injectionOutput: 140 hp @ 4000 rpm,236 lb-ft @ 1750 rpmTransmission: Six-speed DSG with Tiptronic0-60 mph: 8.2 sec. (Sedan); 8.4 sec. (Sportwagen)Top Speed: 128 mphEfficiency: 30/41 mpg
Future Models:Touareg V6 TDI, Rabbit TDI
The future-and what we'd like to see come down the road next *AudiA major hurdle when trying to maximize engine efficiency is planning how to reduce the parasitic drag created by a belt-driven engine's accessories like the alternator, air conditioning and power steering. Audi engineers set out to tackle the problem on the A4 TDI Concept e, developing a secondary voltage source independent from the engine to power the electronic rear brakes, electromechanical steering, and a host of other electronic goodies. They accomplished this by using an energy-recuperation system that converts kinetic energy during deceleration into usable electrical energy which is stored for use during acceleration, effectively reducing drag, increasing performance, reducing emissions and increasing fuel economy. There's also a start/stop function that shuts the engine off at a standstill. Put it in neutral and the system disconnects the air conditioning's compressor from its drive whenever possible. All this results in a vehicle that produces 120 hp and 213 lb-ft of torque, zero-to-62 times of 11.4 seconds, and 58.95 mpg.
*BMWWith the early success of the 1 Series, we'd hope that BMW would add the 123d to the list of vehicles it'll be bringing to the U.S. market. Powered by 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine, the 123d produces 204 hp at just 4000 rpm and 295 lb-ft of torque at 2000 rpm. It's enough to propel the vehicle from zero to 62 mph in seven seconds and maintain a 45 mpg efficiency rating. Behind the 123d's impressive numbers is the world's first four-cylinder diesel engine to use Variable Twin Turbo technology, where sequential turbos are employed to optimize power and torque across the rpm range. Each turbo has been sized to do a specific job. The smaller, low-inertia unit spools instantly to effectively create immediate throttle response. As demand increases, the larger unit takes over to ensure there's continuous boost as engine revolutions increase.
*Mercedes-BenzThe line dividing diesel and petrol performance has become so blurred that it's impossible to simply look at a vehicles' performance numbers and determine if it runs on petrol or diesel. A perfect example is Mercedes' C-Class. Based on the vehicle's zero-to-62 time of seven seconds, you might assume it had a V6. Then you notice the vehicle is able to net a combined efficiency rating of 45 mpg. It has the power of a six-cylinder with the fuel economy of a four-cylinder. That's better than a Prius... plus it's prettier and handles better, too. The C250 CDI is also somewhat unique when it comes to its high-performance diesel powerplant. Instead of a turbocharger, its 2.2-liter inline four utilizes a dual-stage supercharger to produce 204 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque.
*VolvoWhile a highly efficient engine design is important, the Volvo DRIVe package for the C30, S40 and V50 demonstrates that if you start with the engine and tailor the vehicle itself and drivetrain around it, you end up with increased fuel economy and reduced emissions. To reduce drag, the DRIVe package consists of a series of aerodynamic enhancements, specially designed wheels, reduced vehicle ride height, and a front end designed to optimize airflow into the engine bay. It is further enhanced with a next-generation Michelin tire with decreased rolling resistance, tweaked engine management, and optimized cooling and power steering systems. To round out the package, the transmission has been re-geared and filled with a new low-friction gear oil. All this adds up to a 4 to 7 mpg increase on a C30/S40/V50 equipped with a 1.6-liter diesel engine. In addition to the mileage increase, zero-to-62 times were reduced from 11.4 to 10.8 seconds and emissions reduced by 8.5 percent. If you're not into economy-sized engines, Volvo also offers a 2.4-liter, five-cylinder turbo diesel engine that can propel a S40 to 62 mph in just 7.5 seconds.

Congress passed a law a few years ago that really shook up publicly owned companies. It's called Sarbanes-Oxley, named after the congressmen who sponsored the bill.
Basically, this law says the CEO and other high echelon management of a publicly owned company cannot get off the hook from wrong doings because he claims he didn't know what his employees were doing. I believe the same rules should apply to all businesses, even if their stock is not publicly held. The boss should always be held accountable for the actions of his employees and this should apply especially for car dealerships.
Most of the employees customers come into contact with in a car dealership are paid on commission. Those employees get a percentage of the profit the company makes on the transaction.
Car sales people, service sales people (also called service advisors or assistant service managers), parts sales people and the mechanical technicians who work on your car are mostly all paid on commission. This method of pay tilts the relationship between the customer and employee in somewhat of an adversarial manner. The employee wants the profit to be as high as possible but the customer wants it to be low.
In a car dealership that has talented, fully engaged and ethical management, this potentially adversarial relationship is kept in a fair balance. Without the oversight of upper and middle management and careful hiring practices, some employees will exploit a customer to increase his commission.
What brought the subject of this column to mind was a call I received yesterday from a 78-year- old widow from Fort Pierce. She called to thank me for writing my column and to tell me that she wished she had read some of my columns before she bought her 2005 used Mazda. This was the first car she had bought on her own. Her husband had always taken on this responsibility. She paid the dealership a huge profit on her purchase. She was sold a maintenance package that she believed cost only $25 but it really was $2,500. She was rushed to sign the papers at night because the dealership was closing.
In the morning, when she realized the mistake, she drove back to the dealership and asked to back out of the sale but was told it was too late. She was told she had signed all the papers and that they had already sold her trade-in, even though she had not given them the title. When she asked to speak to the general manager, three different employees identified themselves as the general manager. I get a lot of sad calls like this.
The owner of that dealership should know what's going on. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt by saying that he doesn't know because if he does know it's even worse.
The owner should look at the big picture and the long-term view of his business. You can take advantage of customers and benefit in the short run, but you eventually "pay the piper" when your bad reputation spreads far enough.
Most of the bad things I hear about car dealers from their customers are not illegal things. They are simply unethical and not the way one human being should treat another.
Refusing to refund the money of an elderly widow after she realized that she had been taken advantage of is not illegal, but it sure stinks.
Jim Press is the top executive for Toyota over all of North America and he is also the only non-Japanese to occupy a place on Toyota's board of directors. He was quoted in the book, "The Toyota Way" by Jeffrey Liker, as saying, "It's what you do for a customer when you don't owe him anything that is the true measure of character. It's like sticking up for somebody who can't defend himself."
I really like this quote and I have it engraved on a plaque which I give out each month to the employee who wins the "Above and Beyond Award." This award goes to our employee who does something for her customer above and beyond what the customer would have expected.
If you have a bad dealing with your car dealership, do your best to contact the owner. This is impossible with publicly held dealerships such as AutoNation and United Auto Group, but you should be able to talk to their general managers. If it's privately owned dealership, don't give up until you see the owner.

Reading @neilhimself in the bathtub (the illustrated edition of Stardust with Charles Vess). Just barely SFW, if you have a fairly permissive office.
This is the internet. Is there actually a dedicated place for happy photos of people reading my books in the bath?
There is now! Send me your photos, people, and I'll put 'em up. I'm student enough (and therefore bored enough in class) to take on this task. Address them to firstname.lastname@example.com if you don't want to do a Tumblr submission.

For the second time in 21/2 months, the 49ers have issued a statement about cornerback Chris Culliver and insensitive remarks.
This time, Culliver is in the spotlight for posting an Instagram conversation in which women are referred to as "bitch" and "hoes."
The 49ers issued a statement from general manager Trent Baalke saying: "We are aware of the matter, and it is being handled internally."
Culliver made national headlines before the Super Bowl in February when, during Media Day, he told a Los Angeles-based radio shock jock that gays would not be welcomed in the 49ers' locker room. Culliver quickly apologized, has taken sensitivity training and recently became involved with the Trevor Project, a group that provides crisis and suicide intervention to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth.
Culliver played well at cornerback in the 2012 regular season. But his comments about gays in the locker room were followed by the worst game of his professional career in the Super Bowl against Baltimore, one that included a blown coverage and a missed tackle on a 56-yard touchdown catch by Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones.
The 49ers' secondary is more crowded than it was a year ago. All five cornerbacks from 2012 are back, and the team also signed free agent Nnamdi Asomugha earlier this month. The 49ers also could use one of their 13 draft picks on a cornerback. They have hosted at least two this month Houston's D.J. Hayden and LSU's Tyrann Mathieu.
Grant suspended Larry Grant, who showed he was a starting-caliber linebacker when he filled in well for injured Patrick Willis in 2011, has received only tepid interest as a free agent.
On Friday, the league revealed why.
Grant has been suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Grant (Foothill High School) has visited the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots but remains unsigned. Despite the suspension, Grant can participate in offseason practices and preseason games once he signs with a team.
Grant started three games at the end of 2011 and finished with 39 tackles and a forced fumble that preserved a win in Seattle.
He mostly played on special teams for the 49ers in 2012, blocking a punt in a blowout win over the Jets.
Grant's agent declined comment.

PHOENIX (AP) - 1 of 2 men accused in a string of forced-entry home burglaries in Goodyear since January has pleaded not guilty.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 24-year-old Augustine Bobby Ortega entered his plea Monday. His next scheduled court date is Aug. 6.
Ortega and another suspect were arrested earlier this month at a Phoenix home by Goodyear police and U.S. Marshals.
Authorities say Ortega and 36-year-old Jimmy D. Guzman allegedly were linked to about a dozen "door-kick" burglaries in Goodyear.
They say suspected stolen items from Goodyear and other cities were recovered from the home, including electronics, guns and victims' identifications.
Ortega was arrested on suspicion of burglary, aggravated assault, theft, probation violation, credit card theft and unlawful flight from law enforcement.
Guzman was arrested on suspicion of burglary and parole violations.

Would you give out your home address to strangers on the street? Some people are doing it everyday and they don't even realize it.
It's called geotagging and it's basically a location attached to a picture, video or website.
The trend has been in the news for some time, so it's surprising that so many people are still in the dark when it comes to protecting themselves.
Erin Fletcher is a mother of two and she had no idea she was giving information about her children to strangers.
"Terrified," she said. "Unfortunately in today's society something is always a worry but to know that I'm enabling it is even more fearful."
"With everyone having smart phones and things of that nature, they don't realize they take a picture and upload it, they want everyone to see it but there's information attached to that picture the latitude and longitude, and see where you are when you took that picture and the time frame that you were there," said Matt Clayton, retail store manager for Verizon.
He said one app allowed him to see where people on Twitter were located and he doesn't even have a Twitter account.
We put geotagging to the test.
She took a picture at our building, put the photo into a program she downloaded off the internet and instantly found the latitude and longitude.
Through Google maps she pinpointed where the photo was taken and got the street level of the location.
Some people just don't realize strangers could be tracking their homes. But there is a fix - you just have to change the settings in your phone.
If you have an iPhone, go to settings, location services, turn the location completely off, or you can pick a certain app and just turn that one off.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Randy Edsall's first season as Maryland football coach produced two wins. Last year, when the Terrapins went through four quarterbacks, a six-game skid and eight distressing defeats.
Edsall and his team have put all that behind them as they prepare for his third stab at a winning season, a task that begins Saturday with a home game against Florida International.
The Terrapins have only four senior starters, two on the offense and two on the defense. But they've got quarterback C.J. Brown, who missed last season with a torn left ACL.
Brown is healthy and eager for a fresh start.
Brown says, "The knee feels great, and I'm really excited for this upcoming week."
Edsall, who turned 55 on Tuesday, says the Terps "continue to get better with every practice."
