Creating a smarter planet means taking steps toward a more sustainable planet.
The EPA's ENERGY STAR® program has been working toward this vision for years. These days, most people recognize the ENERGY STAR seal as a trusted sign of energy efficiency from seeing it on everything from light bulbs to refrigerators. But IBM's involvement with ENERGY STAR goes all the way back to 1992 when we became a charter member of the ENERGY STAR Computer Program. Back then it was focused on personal computers. Today, however, in an era of the global internet, Big Data and analytics, ENERGY STAR is also addressing computer servers and data centers. Continue Reading »

From businesses selling vegetables grown locally with less energy than those grown and shipped from different parts of the world, to companies creating sustainability objectives, the proliferation of the smartphone and green initiative apps are influencing, enabling and creating more responsible and sustainable business and consumption decisions.
In fact, as sustainability becomes a greater strategic initiative for organizations, more sophisticated apps are appearing to help them address such pressing objectives as sustainable sourcing, the paperless office, and supply chain management.
The first wave of sustainability apps was focused largely on consumers, providing guidance, for example, on reducing energy consumption at home. But this year, of the estimated more than 400 million green mobile application downloads, an increasing number of them will be aimed at corporate green initiatives and sustainability.

Much has been said and written about the need to optimize the data centers of the world to be more efficient and less costly, especially in a down economy. And while the discussions have generally centered on technology solutions, such as virtualization, de-duplication, thin provisioning, etc., there is a growing need to not only explore, but to strategically think about data center power consumption.
In this age of Big Data analytics, "visibility" into the inner workings of the data center is not only possible, it's critical. Both great savings and improved performance can result from getting control of, and fine-tuning data center systems. But it takes accurate data, robust analysis and a will to act on the results to make it happen. Continue Reading »

Cloud. It's the IT world's darling. It's fast, efficient, distributed computing that makes it possible to do everything from bank online to start a business. But despite all this goodness, could the cloud actually have a negative impact on…the environment?
After all, the actual "computing" has to happen somewhere and usually it's in massive datacenters with thousands of power-hungry servers, network equipment and other infrastructure components.
Never fear, tree-hugging, EV-driving IT friends. IBM's patent 8,549,125 gives cloud computing a "green" button that can distribute cloud service workloads to low-powered or under-utilized systems to minimize its environmental footprint. Continue Reading »

It started 40 years ago, before it was trendy or being taught in business school.
Thomas J. Watson, Jr., IBM Chairman at the time, said: "We accept our responsibilities as a corporate citizen in community, national and world affairs; we serve our interests best when we serve the public interest…We want to be in the forefront of those companies which are working to make our world a better place." That was 1969.
IBM's values shape and define our company and permeate all of our relationships; between our employees and our shareholders, our clients, the communities where our employees live and work, and among our network of suppliers. Continue Reading »

Chairman, IBM Europe
Recently, IBM detailed two new computers that will help change the way the world, literally, works.
The first, Sequoia, is the world's most powerful supercomputer, capable of calculating in one hour what would otherwise take 6.7 billion people using hand calculators 320 years to complete if they worked non-stop. It is installed at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)'s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.
The second is the first commercial machine, cooled by hot water, built for the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Germany. It will be used by scientists across Europe to drive a wide range of research − from simulating the blood flow behind an artificial heart valve, to devising quieter aeroplanes.
What's impressive about these machines is not just their massive processing power alone, but they are remarkably energy efficient, too.

By Frederick Streitz, director of Lawrence Livermore National Lab's High Performance Computing Innovation Center
We live in a time of tough economic competition that demands industry and business respond to global market forces as quickly and efficiently as possible. At stake is American leadership in technology as well as other industrial and business domains.
There is growing international recognition of the important role high performance computing (HPC) can play in the innovation that is critical to economic competitiveness. We need only look at the Top500 list of the world's most powerful computers over the last five years to see that supercomputing is seen as an essential tool for scientific discovery and an engine of technology innovation from France, Italy, Germany and Spain to India, China and Japan.
From a federal government perspective, the competitiveness of American business and industry has become a matter of national security. Continued US leadership in science and technology is considered by many to be critical to the nation's security and economic prosperity.
In line with this growing recognition, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and IBM are broadening a highly productive 20-year partnership to make HPC and domain expertise in science and engineering available to US industry. LLNL and IBM have formed Deep Computing Solutions, a collaboration that aims to help US companies use HPC capabilities and expertise, at a level previously only available to national research laboratories, to improve their competitiveness in the global marketplace.
The Top500 ranking of supercomputers today recognized the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Sequoia as the fastest computer in the world. The computer, an IBM Blue Gene/Q, was designed to be extremely energy efficient. Like previous Blue Gene machines, it's powered by low frequency and low power embedded PowerPC cores–in this case, an astonishing 1.6 million of them. Sequoia produces 16 petaflops of computation muscle. That's 16 quadrillion operations per second. It's an important stepping stone on the way to exascale computing–machines that will be 50 times as fast as today's fastest.
Read a related post on the IBM Research blog.
Energy use in data centers accounts for 2% of electricity consumption in the United States and 1.2% worldwide, according to a new report by Stanford University professor Jonathan Koomey. While that's a relatively small slice of overall energy usage, it's a lot of megawatts. So the pressure is on to come up with ways to make data centers less energy hungry.
A couple of IBM scientists think they've found a smart way to do that. Kota Murali and Roger Schmidt are the brains behind the Holistic Green Data Center–an integrated package of technologies designed to bring solar energy to data centers, avoid energy-sapping DC-to-AC power conversions and use water for cooling by running it directly under the microprocessors in server computers.
Each of the pieces by itself could create significant energy savings. Taken together, they offer the potential of transforming the way data centers are designed in sunny locations and greatly expanding the availability and lowering the cost of computing in developing countries in Africa, South Asia and the Middle East.
Like many good business ideas, IBM's plunge into water management technology started with its own pain. The story is told in Charles Fishman's new book, The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water. Fishman warns that the era of easy water is over. "The new water scarcity will reshape how we live, how we work, how we relax. It will reshape how we value water, and how we understand it," Fishman writes. The managers at IBM's chip plant just outside Burlington, Vt., had their consciousness reshaped before many others did. Water is plentiful for them, but they use a lot of it and the water they use has to be ultra-pure, so it's mighty expensive.
At the Burlington plant, IBM creates huge quantities of purified water for washing delicate components during the semiconductor manufacturing process–1.7 million gallons a day. The bill for purified water is nearly $10,000 per day, including the cost of water, chemicals and energy. It used to be much higher–more like $20,000. But, starting more than a decade ago, under pressure to cut costs, IBM's managers realized that situation was unsustainable. So they launched a water management initiative that ultimately became a data-rich system for managing all of the water used in the plant. And that system grew up to be the company's Smarter Water business. "Burlington has helped IBM change the way it thinks about itself," writes Fishman. "IBM wants to do for its customers–for companies, for cities, for utilities, for whole natural ecosystems–what it has done in IBM Burlington."
For IBM, natural resource management has evolved over the past decade from an internal discipline into an expression of global advocacy. The company's annual corporate social responsibility report lays out the internal benefits of conservation and environmental sustainability. For instance, IBM saved over $50 million in electricity expenses and conserved 523,000 megawatt hours of electricity since 2008. The company's global conservation program involves 3,100 conservation projects at more than 350 IBM facilities in 49 countries. Conservation is a good investment, too. Over the years, IBM estimates that its focus on environmental sustainability has realized savings and avoided costs at a rate of approximately $1.60 for every $1.00 spent.
As the Smarter Planet business initiatives continue to develop, those savings will increasingly be supplemented with new revenues. IBM's experience points to a big, convenient truth: conservation is good for business.

Your blade is called with, "Bite the Moon in Two". In shikai, the blade splits into many whips that you can extend at will(they have an icy touch).
Your bankai is like few, like you know, your blade stays in many whips but you also summon your spirit itself! Wether its for travel(u can ride it) or shredding your enemy to pieces! Its bankai name is "Touketsu Enkaiookami".
What is your Bleach Zanpaktou?(includes Shikai and Bankai)
You have Kuragia Akuma(Dark Scythe Demon)!!! Your zanpaktou's spirit is in the bottom left corner.
Your blade is called with,"Reap the Soul". In Shikai, it takes the form of a Scythe which can be used to grasp a hold of your dark powers, it can also slice people inside and out! Your dark abilities allow you to reach into your enemy's head and arrange it however you please. In your bankai you can still use the scythe but u gain the zanpaktou's demon wings and its tail. While your shikai is very powerful, in this form you can also take on the power to travel through dementions(like Nova). Are you on Azien's side? Anyway its bankai name is "Kura Aidagai Akuma"(Dark Demention Scythe Demon).
You have Dendou Kitsuneite(Electric Fox Archer)!!! Your zanpaktou's spirit is on the right.
You ARE a shinigami not a quincy though you do poses similar powers. Your blade is called with, "Peirce the Heart". In shikai, it takes the form of a bow. Unlike quincies, you can form arrows with pure electricity(and at any voltage!!!). In bankai your speed accelerates beyond belief(you could probably beat Yuroichi-san in a game of tag!). Your bankai allows you to even control your arrows as they speed through the air. Its bankai name is "Haiboruto Kitsuneite"(High Volt Fox Archer).
You have Enkaiookami(Ocean Wolf)!!! Your zanpaktou's spirit is on the bottom.
Your blade is called with, "Bite the Moon in Two". In shikai, the blade splits into many whips that you can extend at will(they have an icy touch). Your bankai is like few, like you know, your blade stays in many whips but you also summon your spirit itself! Wether its for travel(u can ride it) or shredding your enemy to pieces! Its bankai name is "Touketsu Enkaiookami".
You have Tsuchi Gekidouma(Earth Raging Steed)!!!Your zanpaktou's spirit is on the right.
Your blade is called with, "Smash the Earth". In shikai, the blade becomes a large claymore that can destroy any hopes your enemy has for staying on the ground.

Its bankai name is "Adaputivu Tsuchi Gekidouma"(Adaptive Earth Raging Steed).
You have Kaen Torieitai(Flame Bird of Eternity)!!!Spirit is on the top right.
Your blade is called with, "Die and be Reborn". In shikai, the blade doesn't change much but it has a very HOT aura around it, making any cut on your enemy searing hot with pain. As for your bankai, you gain flaming wings which won't burn you but will scorch any enemy that touches them. Its bankai name is "Antacchaburu Kaen Torieitai"(Untouchable Flame Bird of Eternity).
You have Akarui Shirotora(Bright White Tiger)!!!Spirit is on the top right.
Your blade is called with, "Shine Bright through Darkness". In shikai, the blade severs, forming two blades in one zanpaktou. You can blind people and that is when your zanpaktou does a lot more damage for if you cut them with its ability it will slow their movements. Which means easier attacks. In bankai, your power doesn't change much, but your reitsu sky rockets. You also get a tiger-like aura around your whole body. When you go bankai intimidation isn't a choice for your enemy because that aura paralyzes them for a short period of time. Its bankai name is "Toukatsu Akarui Shirotora"(Intimidating Bright White Tiger).
You have Teitaka(Air Hawk)!!! Spirit in top right corner.
Your blade is called with "Collide, winds to storms and storms to winds". Though your blade doesn't change much in shikai, but it does allow you to manipulate the wind around you to slash any enemy you please. Your bankai, is a lot more powerful, with wind razors flying around you at all times, its almost impossible for someone to get too close. You could also create or dissipate dust storms and tornadoes(and control their travel paths). Its bankai name is "Reza Teitaka"(Razor Air Hawk)
You have Reidou Rinsei(Mother Nature)!!! Spirit in bottom left corner.
Your blade is called with"Shoot".Your blade is the most abnormal transformation in shikai. The sword completely changes into a gun that fires budes that can suck the life out of your aponent. In bankai, your gun becomes slower but now you can control regular plants growing nearby which can also attack or wrap around your enemy. Though if you were to try and hold them with plants and shoot you'll most likely only get one shot because you can only foucus on one or the other. If you don't want to use the gun though, a dagger can come out off the barrel for closer combat. Its bankai name is "Kusakiesei Reidou Rinsei"(Plants of Power, Mother Nature"
I don't know!!!
If you got this result it means I apparently didn't put all the possible choices. So if there is anything you think i need to add just mail me on here. If you don't have a quizilla account my email is email@example.com
You have a regular zanpaktou.
No shikai or bankai for you! So your not a seated officer then...

Huge file was huge earlier. I didn't even realize it lol
My first time painting the adorable Dashie here. :3
I changed her hairstyle a little. I played around with the colors in photoshop, but the main painting was done in Sai.
The texture in the background is from google. It's called "orange text" or something. At least, that's what it was named in my texture folder lol
Nope, she doesn't have a tan if you are wondering. I modeled her after myself sorta.
Working on a Rainbow Dash painting :3

Let's Get Out of Here by *johnjoseco I couldn't really tell if that last person was applejack or rainbow dash but because there wasn't a hat I just decided to tag it as rainbow dash
Gotta say, I read it as (left-right) Luna in the foreground, Applejack standing in the door, Twilight Sparkle behind her, Fluttershy collapsed/sat down inside, Celestia just reaching the ramp, and Rainbow Dash on the right hand size.
Maybe I'm just reading her as Applejack on the left because she's bigger than the other ponies.

CALO - Change Academy Lake of the Ozarks
Treatment Facility
"Across the country there are a number of generalist residential treatment centers. Many of them do fine work. They treat issues and disorders such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Depression, Bi-polar Disorder, some personality disorders, phase of life issues, etc. Most work from a behavior modification paradigm. A few are more relationally oriented. A smaller few utilize a community or positive peer culture model. All try to change the lives of struggling teens. Generalist programs are usually large (80 plus and as many as 250 at times) and level-focused in their treatment approach. In order to manage student behavior they frequently put systems of rewards and punishments in place. These programs came into being to fill a need created largely by managed care in the healthcare industry. Managed care decreased stays in hospital settings and pushed members to acute care and stabilization treatment. Longer, chronic care and remediation lost its funding source. Managed care effectively ended long stays in psychiatric hospitals. Long stays went away but the need for some sort of longer-term treatment did not. Residential treatment has filled the void left in the wake of decreased lengths of psychiatric hospitalization. As residential treatment has matured, the one size fits all approach has lost its appeal. There are many presenting problems that are not well grouped together. A program that puts eating-disordered teens with Conduct Disordered ones will feel the strain of the differing needs of those populations. Simply put, specialist care is needed for many emotional and behavioral issues. Eating Disorders, issues of trauma, Reactive Attachment Disorder, non-verbal learning disabilities, substance abuse; these and many other issues demand specialized knowledge and treatment. CALO was created with this need for specialty care in mind. CALO focuses on only three presenting issues: issues of emotion, trauma, and attachment. An even more concise way of presenting CALO's specialty is to say that issues with trauma at their core are what we treat. Trauma during the attachment window will frequently create attachment issues in later adolescence. Trauma will also lay the groundwork for later Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Trauma will predispose some teens for emotional regulation issues like Bi-polar Disorder or Depression. CALO treats trauma-induced emotional and behavioral problems. Our theoretical framework is based on attachment research. Our treatment model relies on relationships and attachment interventions to create lasting change. CALO is a relational, attachment-centered program. The following would be a partial list of the type of teenager CALO would specialize in treating: A teenage adoptee struggling to connect with parents and caregivers A teen who has been physically, emotionally, or sexually abused and is now acting out behaviorally A teen who has survived a trauma and cannot maintain emotional control A foreign-adopted teen who is not fitting in at home or at school and is draining emotional resources from his/her adopted family A teen with anger control issues and history of abuse or neglect An untrustworthy and sexually promiscuous teenager who does not enjoy deeper connection with family or caregivers CALO utilizes time, experiential successes, relationships, peer interactions, and our specialized environment to reach our troubled teen in a way not done by most other programs. Other generalist programs cannot treat our population as effectively or efficiently as CALO. We welcome questions about our treatment model. Feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Outpatient treatment programs in Kansas City or clinics provide flexibility to those who are unable to take time away from their regular lives, work or school. Programs typically meet at the clinic a couple of times every week for a few hours at a time.
Because clients are living away from the centers, outpatient facilities in Kansas City are less able to focus on medical conditions and nutritional needs.
Certain programs provide a combination of the in/out approach: Inpatient for medical stabilization, partial hospitalization for moderate cases, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient clinics for follow-up.

Worldwide, it's estimated that more than 180 million people have teeth the have been repaired with some sort of dental restorative material. In total, that's a staggering 1.4 billion teeth. From the 1950s through present day, one of the most common dental restoratives has always been dental amalgam. Often called "silver fillings," this metallic mixture is prepared with up to 50% or more liquid mercury. Poisoning from these "mercury fillings" is a risk that holistic dental professionals are quick to warn patients about, even though agencies like the American Dental Association refuse to formally acknowledge any potential health problems associated with their use. At Assure A Smile, we take a holistic approach to dentistry that focuses on both oral health and total body wellness. We believe patients should be educated about mercury poisoning, dental amalgam, and the long-term health risks associated with silver fillings.

Well, here's a tidbit that will rock your world: Soccer star David Beckham is hanging 'em up at the end of this season.
I have to say I am shocked, shocked.
No, not because he's retiring. He is, after all, 38 years old.
It's because, no disrespect intended, but ... I thought he'd already retired.
Because, really, when's the last time his name came up, even in soccer circles?

Tips and Hints
The Healing SpringsI remember my first week on Neopets. I was devastated when my poor Kacheek got sick and visited the Help Board to find the cure. Well, after buying that expensive medicinal soap, I discovered that I should have visited the Healing Springs every 30 minutes until my pet was fully healed for free. Oops.
The Stock MarketThis page has everything you need to know about the stock market. I highly recommend it! However, one very very important thing to know about the stock market is that you will most likely not make a significant profit until at least six months have passed.
Questions and Answers
Q: When I try to make an offer on the trading post it says I cannot make an offer of over 800,000 - why cant I?
A: 800k is the limit of pure NP you can offer at the trading post. You have to make up the rest in Easy To Sell (ETS) items. Usually if something is 1 mil, you offer a Baby Paint Brush and make up the difference in pure NPs.
The Lab RayQ: Is the Secret Laboratory Map worth the large amount of money needed to get it?
A: Most Neopians agree that it's mostly for fun. If you want a specific species or color it's not really worth it. You have the chance to get lab only colors including Clay, Garlic, Ice, MSP, Robot, and Sponge (8-Bit was originally a Lab Ray exclusive color, but that changed with the release of the 8-bit Power-Up Potion). But usually you get nothing or stats. :/ The lab ray cannot turn your pet Baby, Pirate, Plushie, Quiguki, Royal, or Usuki. Here are the approximate chances of lab ray events:
Lose Levels: 5.5%
Lose Movement: 4.9%
Lose Defense: 4.9%
Back to Level 1: 7.4%
Gain Levels: 5%
Gain Movement: 10.6%
Gain Defense: 6.1%

Nothing spectacular but good and a way to incorporate a lot of fresh veggies as a side dish. For me the poblano didn't really come through, I might think about using two next time. Otherwise good and I'd probably make it again at some point although I wouldn't consider it a go to recipe.

British Politician Rats Out Robstenby Hilton Hater at . Comments
We've seen supermarket tabloids claim Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were an item.
We've heard from Twilight Saga co-stars that have hinted there's a romance between this pair.
Earlier this week, Robert himself said he and Kristen were "together." But this is a first:
A British politician has ratted out the pair! Council member Nicolas Clark was in London pub Tuesday when he spotted Pattinson and Stewart getting cozy together. Then, the guy actually Tweeted about it:
"In The Marquis of Granby with Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart," he wrote, later adding: "From what I saw just a couple of kisses on lips. R+K were acting like a couple."
Is this really what we've come to? Politicians are using Twitter to publicize private moments between movie stars?!?
We're not sure how parliamentary procedure works, but can the citizens of England impeach this moron?
Dude...this guy does not have a gay bone in his body; I am not sure about her. Rob just get nervous during interviews and says whatever stupid comments come to him; which turns up to be funny. He probably gets more vaginal than he knows what to do with it. But hey....I'm not gay....and if I had to take pictures with naked guys...I will uncomfortable. Who does it? Maybe he's a gentleman and thinks of his sisters and mother. Now...the body language is not from two close friends or buddies just hanging. They are together; you could see that they are a couple. If I was deny a romance all the time, I wouldn't show to the premiere even if he's my friend. I honestly think that both of them are ready to come clean with the world but something or someone is keeping them from doing so. Also..I don't know why...but I think that Kristen is holding Rob by his B@LLS. Did anyone see the video he's saying sorry to her? You go Kristen...Payback for Bella.
totally agree with EM and secretly afraid that what Caring Kate assumed would be true, but i do hope they are together, they seem so right for each other....
omg robs drivin me crazy.there has to be somthing going on between kristen stewert and rob
i never been an avid fan, until I've seen robert. who ever he loves Im on to it...
i hope that is true, because they do have great chemistery!!!
I hope they are together because they have great chemistry and as everyone else says, the body language says it all.
My assumptions are (1) the press and the fans make it crazy for them to show up together. (2) Summit's worry is that if they come out as a couple and for some reason break-up before all the movies are finished, that it might put a damper on the allure of the on-screen romance between Edward and Bella. I think Summit is trying to keep the magic alive til all movies are out. Alot of hype about a break-up would be all over everything and everywhere taking some of the spotlight off the final movies.
haha, this makes me laugh :)
They are so obviously more than "just friends" or "good buddies" as Kristen called it.It's true,body language doesn't lie.Until they come out and say one way or the other,all the speculation will continue and people will not leave it alone.That's just how it is,it's human nature.Don't blame the photographers,they're just doing their jobs.Don't blame the fans,they're just naturally curious.Don't blame some random guy in a pub,he's just been caught up in the hype.Don't tell me if you saw them in your home town,all cozied up and kissing,you wouldn't whip out your cellphone and take pictures if you could and text all your friends that OMG I just saw Robsten kissing!You all would and you know it.What Rob and Kristen and their agents and reps don't realize is,if they would just officially announce whatever,it would all die down.It will anyway eventually,once Breaking Dawn is all done too.There will be some other celeb couple on the menu soon enough.
Body language talks, platonic friendship isn't so close physically as that they have. Neither they admit they are together, it doesn't matter, they want to leave the assumption to the people... Did you all know that Kirsten Mom is so proud of Rob? She was even seen arranging Rob's tossled hair in place -caught by the papz in youtube... How many times have she been in London officially and unofficial? They do arrange their schedules to be together.
omg why cant they just give them some spac see ppl these days they get on m nerves sumhin offi

Have you ever had a meal so bad you wanted to walk out without paying?
- g
- gryphonskeeper Oct 30, 2007 12:05 PM
I recently had a meal at a branch of a local chain Pancake House that was so horrible I actually wanted to walk out without paying.
I went to the weekend breakfast buffet (at the request of my friend, not my choice) and it was horrifying. The place was filthy, food all over the floor and buffet stations. I asked the waitress to please send someone to clean the syrup and goop on one buffet table but it was never done. I asked for a refill on coffee, it never came, I asked to speak to a manager and he/she never came as well. (and I waited for well over 15 minutes, standing there looking like a fool) I was so furious I left the exact amount for the bill on the table and left fuming.
Now I know this is not exactly a 4 star restaurant but still. The entire experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth (no pun intended) Am I alone on this, but are you ever justified in refusing to pay a check? While I did pay this one I really wanted to walk out... out of sheer revulsion.
I have felt this way, but the truth is it's illegal. If you ordered something for which you're expected to pay, you have to pay for it. Best to take it up with corporate.
Now what I have wondered about is how long one should wait for one's food with no explanation or attention from the server before you can just get up and walk out, assuming they've forgotten about you completely. Yes, you ordered something, but you never received it.
for the cleanliness, and managerial issues you listed, no. I just make a mental note to never return.
For poor service issues(disappearing waiter, no waiter assigned to you table, etc). I have either left before the tardy waiter finally shows up from thier smoke break, etc., or for the disappearing waiter, payed for the drinks, & food I had consumed and thats it. Again making a note and never returning.
re: swsidejim
I only had an omelet from the station where they make them for you, I was disgusted at the filthy conditions and was afraid of getting il trying anything elsel. I had a cup of coffee, that was never refilled.
But you re right, I will never eat at another Bickford's.
re: gryphonskeeper
I can understand your issues with this place. Terrible & unacceptable
So why on earth did you stay there? I know you were with a friend, but if the place was filthy, why would you stay? I'd be too nauseated to even think of eating. If this is the mess you saw, think about what you couldn't see. But once you ordered and ate the food, you hd to pay for it. You didn't complain about the quality of the food, so it must have been edible (keeping in mind that the bar for edible is quite low in some places). You chose to tolerate the conditions. Why would your bad choice justify not paying?
re: Just Visiting
That's exactly what I was thinking. I'd walk out of a place like that without sitting down, it'd never get to the point where I'd actually ordered or eaten anything and would need to pay anything.
I've definitely had experiences where I felt like it wasn't worth a cent much less what I actually paid for it, so I suppose the answer to the question in your title is "yes."
re: ccbweb
Trust me, I had NO idea when we walked in and were seated what I was in for, it was not until I walked up to the buffet that I saw the horror. We were seated in a front room, not even the same room as the buffet station. That is why I opted to only have an omelet that I could watch being made, and a cup of coffee. If I was not with a dear friend I would have walked out in sheer and utter disgust.
re: gryphonskeeper
Yes, but you saw the condition of the buffet station and still ate something from it. Therefore, you have to pay. If you had checked out the buffet station and walked out before eating anything then you wouldn't have had to pay.
re: hrhboo
I did pay... however that is not the question. The question was did you ever not WANT to pay at a restaurant because the food was so lousy.
Trust me I hated leaving every penny I did, the whole thing cost me $17+! for one lousy omelet and coffee that was not refilled. ($14 buffet and $2 coffee plus tax.)
Considerin' as this is probably not the sort of place where the manager gives a hoot (if he ever did show up), he/she wouldn't be likely to "comp" your meal. That leaves you with one alternative to "I'm not paying for this" ... leave before you take any food. McDonald's still makes pretty good pancakes and you can get there fast.
Normally it would take a while for me to get my upset up to that level, but then again for $17 I might get upset real fast. That's a lot.
I completely sympathize. There are those bills that just hurt to pay. I recently heard a rave review of a certain hard-to find place's low country boil. Very excited - we went inside, thinking I has just discovered a hidden gem. What we got was terrible and overpriced. $17 for 3 shrimp, some crab, a little sausage, corn and potatoes. Also had the chicken tenders which were the exact sysco frozen tenders we hated in grade school, the burgers, bubba. Both over $10. Parked outside was a permanently stationed sysco freezer truck that answered all my questions. Also, we got sick afterward.
There was a time about 10 years ago when the restaurant in Quechee VT which was the place we stopped at before we headed home was our favorite Mexican place to eat. Rosalita's was the name, I think. Folks who live there or are familiar with that area right on Rte.4 west might recall/correct me. I ordered a Bloody Mary and a roast beef sandwich. I usually forego the celery sticking up in the drink.... but didn't this time. Celery was dirty. Roast beef was grey around the gills, and brittle. Called the waitress over and pointed out the problem. She walked away. So did I. Out the door. She followed me into the parking lot. With the dish in her hand. The restaurant is no longer. Too bad - it was great when they knew what they were doing.
I dislike having to say it because I was once in the very same position as you. The very fact that I was with a 'dear' friend (one with whom I can and do share confidences) allowed me to say what I would not have said to a 'friend' of lesser importance. That is, I said; "this place is filthy - certainly not what it ever used to be - let's get the heck out of here before we get ptomaine poisoning". My friend, in responding said; "you first!" I really think that the subject of paying or not paying would quickly have become a non-issue.
In reading these posts, I guess I'd have to say I've been fortunate insofar as not having experienced food that has made me feel like walking out w/o paying. That's not to say I haven't experienced the occasional very uninspired/cold/boring/overly seasoned, etc food. Unfortunately, I've had service (or lack thereof) that has made me either want to, or actually walk out of a few places. Apparently, I'm a lot more tolerant of disappointing food than I am of inept, rude, inappropriate or just plain unacceptable, service.
re: Tay
Apparently, I'm a lot more tolerant of disappointing food than I am of inept, rude, inappropriate or just plain unacceptable, service.<<<
Very true, Tay.
I'm not sure how paying for unacceptable food is even an issue. That can be reflected in the tip and talking to the manager/owner.
Not paying for food eaten, no matter how horrid, is stealing. Heck, where would I draw the line? If I'm overcharged for pretty food piled vertically on the plate, do I negotiate a fair price? No. Same deal. Horrid food? Report it to the owners, pay for it, don't go back, and write about it wherever available.
re: dolores
Ahhhhhhh......in my case: the food was dirty, stale and obviously old. I didn't eat a bite because of the condition. Not paying for that anywhere.
re: dolores
I understand you point of view, Dolores. However, since the plate of food presented to me was inedible, I certainly did not want to try another dish. Frankly, there was nothing to work out. Additionally, I doubt very much the restaurant would prosecute for a $9.00 order.
re: dolores
Dolores, you forget that I spoke to the waitress who, when she left my table, I thought was going to get the manager. After waiting some time, I left. To continue this unnecessarily long tale, my DCs paid their bill, left a small tip and later told me my meal had not been charged.
IF the meal was $46.00 and disgusting, after speaking to the manager, I would have left.
I don't know that I could walk out because of poor food, but service is another thing. My dad is a firm believer in walking out if he's ignored or treated poorly.

Real-time clock alarm
A real time clock alarm is a feature that can be used to allow a computer to 'wake up' after shut down to execute tasks every day or on a certain day. It can sometimes be found in the 'Power Management' section of a motherboard's BIOS setup. However, newer BIOS setups do not include an RTC alarm option, although it can still be set from within user applications. Wake On LAN, Wake on ring, and IPMI functions could also be used to start a computer after it is turned off.
In Linux, the real time clock alarm can be set or retrieved using /proc/acpi/alarm or /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm.[1] Alternatively the rtcwake utility may be used which prevents problems when using local time instead of UTC by automatically processing the /etc/adjtime file.
In Microsoft Windows there are different programs which could be used to 'wake up' a computer from standby or hibernation. Task Scheduler settings for power management can be used to 'Wake the computer to run this task'.

TEAMS: Orlando Magic, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers
Game time: Sunday at 6 p.m. ET TV: FOX Sports Florida The Orlando Magic's last two victories have come against division leaders. They just haven't been able to get the job done against teams below .500. Orlando will try to avoid a seventh consecutive defeat to an opponent with a losing record when the Dallas Mavericks seek a seventh straight road win in this series Sunday night. After ending a 10-game skid with a 104-101 victory over the Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles Clippers on Jan. 12, Orlando was routed 120-91 by league-worst Washington on Monday. The Magic (14-25) rebounded with one of their better performances of the season, a 97-86 victory over Central Division-leading Indiana on Wednesday, but they opened a stretch of five in a row against teams with losing records with a 106-100 loss to Charlotte on Friday. "We're just still maturing as a group on how to (play at a high level) night in and night out," said swingman Arron Afflalo, who scored...

Christmas Storage Solution + Giveawayposted by Andrea | 12/28/2010
UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed. A winner has been chosen and notified.
Christmas Day has come and gone; and if you're like me, you'll be taking down your Christmas tree and packing up all your fun holiday ornaments with in the next week or so. It's a sad day…but it has to be done.
For me, this day involves putting my ornaments in a big cardboard box and hoping they don't break as I try to shove them all in! However this year, I have a brand new, super organized way to store all my Christmas ornaments — want to know what it is?
Well, have you heard of Ultimate Christmas Storage?
It's a company that specializes in high-quality storage boxes like these gorgeous red boxes.
And these super cute blue polka-dot storage boxes!
And, as their name suggests, they have tons of great "Christmas Storage" products for ornaments and other small items that can easily be lost or broken.
All of their products are extremely high quality, durable, and SO much prettier then my cardboard boxes — so I'm using these boxes for my ornaments this year!
The Ultimate Christmas Storage products feature:
- Acid Free heavy-duty chipboard throughout.
- Tarnish inhibitor added to help reduce the atmospheric effect on silvered and metal ornaments.
- Ornament boxes and Ornament chests provide removable trays from 3 to 5 inches deep.
- Trays have fully adjustable dividers to accommodate a variety of collectibles.
- Beautiful fabric covering adds years of durability to acid free ornament boxes.
- Decorative fabrics allow ornament boxes to be used as a decorative accessory.
- Our fabric variety allows for easy segregation and identification of your collectibles.
- Clear heavy-duty vinyl zippered bag protects the archival ornament boxes while stored.
OK, so these sound really fancy, and they technically are…
BUT they are also practical, stackable, transportable, storable, movable, and really pretty. Plus, if you're planning to move, these boxes are very convenient {yes, I speak from experience!}
I'm sure you can imagine how excited I am to replace my cardboard boxes with these pretty boxes that provide tons of storage for small, delicate items and assure that everything stays neat, organized, and unharmed.
Well, I'm also excited that Ultimate Christmas Storage is giving away a beautiful green ornament storage box to one lucky Simple Organized Living reader!! {see below for details}

Diane Campagna01/04/2011
My current method is a combination of things. I store some of my ornaments in the original boxes, but they start to disintegrate after a while. Others get wrapped and put in sturdier cardboard boxes, and the rest get thrown together into one large box. It's mess really. This looks like a wonderful solution.
we have lots of ornaments that go back a generation or two, and i usually wrap them in tissue, place them in smaller boxes and put several boxes in a large plastic bins that i can stack in storage. This past Christmas I went through each ornament to discard the broken or donate what we never use and it really helped in seeing what I have so when I am able to purchase better storage I know exactly what we need!
Most of the things are just put in Rubbermaid totes.
Beverly Huntington01/04/2011
I use Ultimate Christmas Storage boxes currently but need more, just not in my budget! I purchased my first one in the holiday fabric from Neiman Marcus close to 20 years ago and purchased more over the years. I also have several of the small 6″ cube boxes in the same fabric and a smaller box perfect for stockings, wrapped in your acid-free paper, of course. Although I use the plastic vinyl covers, they all could pass as new! I'll post a picture on your facebook page which I have "liked". Signed up for email newsletter also.

I currently throw everything in plastic rubbermaid bins…and occasionally a cardboard box!
My current method. . .for those that still have boxes, I put those back in them. After that, I wrap them in tissue or put them in plastic ziplock baggies and put them in a cardboard box or shopping bag. I just told my husband last night that if we ever had water damage in the garage I would lose everything
I signed up for the newsletter too!

Common Core State Standard
SL.CCS.1/2/3/4 Grades 6-12: An essay of a current news event is provided for discussion to encourage participation, but also inspire the use of evidence to support logical claims using the main ideas of the article. Students must analyze background information provided about a current event within the news, draw out the main ideas and key details, and review different opinions on the issue. Then, students should present their own claims using facts and analysis for support.
Ronald McDonald -- friend or foe? Depends who's asked
Look for other health or fitness news. Does any coverage apply to students?
Now check out ads, particularly in the features or lifestyle section. Can you spot one for a product or service promoting good health? How about a pitch for something that seems less beneficial?
After looking at photos in any news or feature sections, does it seem as though most people pictured are average weight or overweight?
Happy Meals make nutrition advocates unhappy. Health professionals and consumer groups last week urged McDonald's to retire Ronald McDonald as a brand symbol because they feel the clown encourages kids to eat foods high in fat, salt and calories. About 550 health specialists issued an open letter asking the company to "stop making the next generation sick." In addition, ads in six newspapers from a watchdog group urged McDonald's to stop marketing to children through the clown, toy giveaways and other tactics.
Company directors and investors didn't bite. Just 6 percent of shareholders voted for a proposal that would have forced the hamburger giant to tally the annual cost of defending children's meals against charges of contributing to childhood obesity. The world's largest fast-food chain maintains that customers make their own dietary choices. "This is about choice and we believe in the democratic process," chief executive Jim Skinner said last Thursday at the annual meeting for investors at corporate headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill.
One no-debate fact is that Ronald McDonald is well-known. He ranks fourth in consumer awareness out of 2,800 celebrities in an index created by an ad agency called The Marketing Arm. The colorful character, which made its TV debut in 1963, has become less clownish in recent years as fast food became criticized on health grounds. Ronald now also promotes exercise.
Company says: "Ronald McDonald is going nowhere. Ronald McDonald is an ambassador for McDonald's, and he is an ambassador for good. He does not advertise unhealthy food to children." -- Jim Skinner, McDonald's chief executive
Student says: "It's very fake . . . all his commercials, where he's jumping up and down, where he's always happy. You know that no one's always happy. It's silly. . . . In Ronald McDonald World, we have no problems, it's just happy all the time." -- Mollie Kerr, 11, suburban New York City
Blogger says: "McDonald's merely markets a product. We, as fatties, choose to buy it." -- Gordon Deal, The Wall Street Journal
