Posts tagged with Bill Lynch Is Awesome
When was the last time you experienced a bait and switch?
It had been decades since I'd seen Bill Lynch play. I'd stopped going to dances and local performances once I had children and only recently did I fall back in with the 'in' crowd who enjoy meeting and dancing our caloric needs and weekend nights away.
I was excited this past month when I learned Lynch would be coming to town and would perform this past weekend.
I was disappointed however at how a local business used a big name performer such as Lynch for their bait and switch.
Here is what happened. Online tickets were a few dollars more than those purchased direct from the business - which opens daily at three for drinking and ticket purchases. My son is more likely the age group who frequent the establishment, so I sent him in - three days in a row - to get tickets.
The problem was that their computer 'was down' and they couldn't run any tickets off. I wised up and started calling in advance rather than send my son in a fourth or fifth time in the heat. Each time I was told they still had no means to run the tickets off, but the problem would be solved the next day. There was even discussion that they were bringing in another computer specifically for the purpose to run off tickets.
Saturday, the day of the concert, I called and still no tickets had been printed. I expressed concern that the performance would be sold out. I was assured that it would not be and that I could even wait until that evening to purchase my ticket at the $13 fee.
I arrived early to insure getting a ticket and to save seats for additional friends. No one was at the door at that time. At some point I went to get water for our group and the bartender asked me to go get my wristband. I went to the doorman/ticket taker and was surprised when he told me the price was $16. I mentioned all the times I'd tried to purchase tickets. I was referred back to the bartender (perhaps he is a manager). He wasn't interested in how many times I'd attempted to get tickets or that I'd been assured I could purchase them that evening for the original fee. He said they still had to pay for the price of running off the tickets. I asked why they couldn't just f' ing stamp my hand. I got a look that told me if I didn't back down, I'd be escorted from the establishment. I went to buy my ticket. The doorman said, "So you get the $13 price?" I could have lied, but I did not. I told him I was required to pay the $16.
An hour later, I mentioned to a friend in the bathroom what had occurred. Several other women spoke up and said they had the same experience.
My questions: How much extra money did the establishment make by doing this? (there were probably a couple of hundred people there)
How could they say the extra charge for tickets at night cost $3 more than tickets during the day that they never had?
When did they become able to run tickets off?
Is this a common practice used by this establishment?
I would gladly have paid more for a performance by Bill Lynch. The issue wasn't about the price, it was about the practice by the establishment that cost many people time and effort.
Please share your experiences with bait and switch practices.

Dangerous Dioxins: NYC Green Groups Call for Stronger Enforcement
A little more than a month after the Environmental Protection Agency released its long-awaited report on the non-cancer dangers of dioxins, consumer groups have called on Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration to officially stop buying products which contain these chemicals.
New York's Center for Health, Environment & Justice -- which had previously decried Mike for flouting anti-dioxin regulation -- says that Bloomberg's administration has greatly improved enforcement, but now needs to target PVC plastic. (A 2005 rule requires that NYC cut back on dioxin-containing purchases.)
The organization worries that the mayor who succeeds Bloomberg might not be as willing to enforce the guidelines -- unless there is a clear, written mandate on PVC.
So the cohort will publicly call on Bloomberg to do this tomorrow, when the group will submit oral and written testimony to city officials at a hearing.

"We're dissapointed with the regulations as written," said Daniel Gradess, who's with the Center. "The provisions contain zero provisions addressing this plastic."
Runnin' Scared reached out to the Mayor's office.
A spokesperson told us that the administration's current policy is sufficient, pointing to earlier official comments on the issue.
A Bloomberg spokesperson had previously told Runnin' Scared that the administration is actively working with its primary vendor, Staples, to buy low-dioxin products.
"We've been working very hard and very diligently to meet these standards."
Dioxins can be found in nature, but their high concentration in industrially produced materials poses a greater risk to human health.
In New York, The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association recently demanded cancer stats for 9-11 first responders, after analyses showed that they had been exposed to high dioxin levels. Also, a ProPublica report discovered that the federal government tried to remain hush-hush about dioxin-related risks at Ground Zero and downplay the dangers.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Red Sox were still digesting the news of Dustin Pedroia's broken bone in his left foot Saturday when pitcher Clay Buchholz pulled up lame in the second inning while running to second base moments after singling for his first big-league hit.
"I think we all panicked right away," manager Terry Francona said. "He got in the dugout and was struggling.''
The fear, of course, was that just hours after losing Pedroia, the 2008 MVP, for perhaps as much as six weeks or more, they were about to lose Buchholz, who with 10 wins leads the staff, for an extended period, too.
The early indications, though, are that the injury is not serious. Buchholz hyperextended his left knee, according to both the manager and player, and while he will be re-evaluated again Sunday, the Sox were hopeful that Buchholz may make his next start.
"I hope so, that's what we're shooting for," Buchholz said Saturday after Boston's 4-2 win over the Giants, while acknowledging that his hamstring might also have been tweaked on the play and will require further evaluation.
"I love hitting and running the bases, but not doing it in five years, it's an art," he said.
Buchholz said he was undecided on whether to slide or peel off when Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval fielded Marco Scutaro's ground ball and flipped it to second for the start of a possible double play.
"Going into second, you can think all you want, 'Just jog down there,' but it's hard to make yourself do something 50 percent whenever you have a chance to break up a double play and keep the inning going.
"It was indecisiveness on my part going into second base. I was either going to slide or bail off. I landed weird and felt a little pop behind my knee.''
Buchholz pulled up, then limped onto the outfield grass before trainer Mike Reinold reached him and accompanied him to the dugout. Reinold quickly determined that Buchholz would be unable to continue, and manager Terry Francona sent out Scott Atchison to start the bottom of the second inning.
Atchison was the first of seven Sox relievers who combined to hold the Giants to five hits and two runs. Atchison was credited with his first win with Boston, while Jonathan Papelbon recorded the final three outs for his 17th save.
"He got back in the clubhouse and had good range of motion, good strength,'' Francona said. "It didn't look good. It kind of scared all of us. Long-term he's going to be OK."

Federal recognition possible for riverMarch 04,2013
WESTFIELD Voters in seven Vermont towns are being asked whether they want two rivers to receive federal recognition under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers program.
If voters approve, Congress would be asked to add the 50 upper miles of the Missiquoi River and the 11-mile Trout River to the federal program, which could bring tourist-attracting publicity and federal money to help with economic development, water quality and public access.
But The Burlington Free Press reported that the proposal faces an uncertain fate on Town Meeting Day. In some towns, the plan has been met with local suspicion that federal recognition means federal control. Officials say that isnt true, though the program would bring some regulatory changes.MORE IN Vermont NewsLea Davison, Team USAs best hope for an Olympic medal in mountain biking, loves to see girls on...

DJ Shadow Releases "Infamous" Mansion Set: "Too Hard? Too Future? Or Just Too Raw?"
DJ Shadow dropping his now-notorious "Too Future" mix at Mansion Miami.
Photo by George Martinez
It's been 18 days since DJ Shadow got kicked off the decks at Mansion Miami for playing "too future for all of y'all." And it's been a week and a half since the South Beach nightclub offered its "sincere apologies to DJ Shadow and his fans for his set being cut short."
Finally, though, we all get to hear the now-notorious "Too Future" mix. Because over the weekend, Shadow and his team uploaded his "Infamous South Beach Set" to SoundCloud.
Check the cut for the full one-hour-26-minute-and-17-second mix, plus the DJ's smartass little note, asking: "Too hard? Too future? Or just too raw?"

Thread: MACYS SUCKS/hourly wage salary.
August 20th, 2010, 05:11 PM #1
MACYS SUCKS/hourly wage salary.
so i just got back from an interview with macys! was offered a job on call in cosmetics, so basically i will only be called to counters that need my assistance for that week. my hourly wage is $7.40 AN HOUR!! what the hell?? i was so shocked when i saw this while filling out my application. i couldnt believe it. i worked for sephora and gap before so i have retail experience! i just left, and it made me realize how much i want to work for MAC and not to settle for anything less. Its a little depressing because i am having a hard time finding a job and they were the only people that called back. I am going to apply next week to all MAC counters hopefully i get it because i feel lower than low right now.i am FULL TIME student so i am looking for part time but hopefully something that pays a little bit more JESUS!!!!

Re: MACYS SUCKS/hourly wage salary.
Agh. The dreaded on-calls. We hate them because when there are extra hours for gifts or call offs, they give them to the on-calls because they are paid less instead of us part timers... which over the years have gone from having 24 hours/week down to only 15.
I hope Macy's gets rids of the on calls soon. I've already had a few customers complain about the one they hired (claims she has cosmetics experience from a WalGreens, but I swear maybe it was '92 if you could see how she "applies" her own make up. Yuck.). And she was only at my counter for one day.
I think being an on-call would suck anyways. You might work 15 hours one week, but then not work again for another month.
Good luck finding something better with more regular hours in any case!"Hand me my purse, will you, darling? A girl can't read that sort of thing without her lipstick."

Re: MACYS SUCKS/hourly wage salary.
Thank you so much for breaking it down for me, i wasn't sure how it would work for me. This is a terrible position thank god i didn't go through with it, but it was the only call back i got from applying to jobs since i am a full time student. I am looking for part time and will later know to stay way from the Dreaded on call positions lol i laughed when you mentioned the on call girl's makeup! that was hilarious thank you for responding :-)

Re: MACYS SUCKS/hourly wage salary.
I applied there this past winter/spring since I was laid off for almost a year at that time. They called me for an interview and what an odd interview it was. The lady asked me why I wanted to work there....I was like...uhhh because I need a job. LOL anyway then she said "ok sell me an outfit". I said what? SHe said part of the job was to sell people outfits and said if they come up to pay for a shirt you needed to try and sell them pants to go with it. I said that never in my 25 yrs of shopping at Macy's had I ever had a cashier/associate try to sell me something else other then what I Was buying. Then she told me that I needed to meet a quota of signing up people for credit cards in a month and if I did not reach the quote I would be terminated. Then she said the pay... $7.90! I was just like you Makeup_BeautyD. All that work and you only pay minimum? And then she threw it on top of al that, that the hours would be at the most 16. I declined the offer and it made a bad taste about Macy's. I didnt and don't really like to shop there anymore.

Re: MACYS SUCKS/hourly wage salary.
That's terrible! at least they offered you more money than me lol i was so shocked when i saw that, its Macys I would of thought, that they would pay their employees much more. It seems like they wanted so much from you and only paying you $7.90, i don't think anyone especially in cosmetics, should be paid no lower than $10.00. good thing you didnt take that job!!!
August 21st, 2010, 10:53 PM #10
Re: MACYS SUCKS/hourly wage salary.
Yep. Add on sales and link selling used to just be something used in cosmetics, but now even the regular clothing associates have IPT and AUS on their score cards. Most employees don't just try to add a pair of socks at the register or something weird like that. But maybe you're looking for a shirt, and an associate helps you find what you're looking for and hey, did you see these new vests we just got in? Aren't they cute? And this one would look really cute over your shirt, too!
Just like cosmetics. You just don't show them a lipstick, you show the lipstick, a matching lip liner (hey, you need the pencil sharpener, too!) and a gloss, and while you're here why don't try our new scent on as well?
It's sick LOL."Hand me my purse, will you, darling? A girl can't read that sort of thing without her lipstick."

Re: MACYS SUCKS/hourly wage salary.
KimmyAnn nailed it! I have been with Macys for 3 years (going on 4 in November) as part time. I started off at 7.49 and I am just now making 9.01 an hour! And the hours suck too because yeah we had an on call girl but she quit,but they take out of our commission, sales, and hours too. The credit is such bullshit. Im sorry I dont want to sell someone a crappy credit card because most people are being smart now and days and paying their cards off and not using them but Macys doesnt understand that. Im stuck there until I can find something else, just keep looking girl and be positive! Sorry I kind of had to rant about that place...lol

They lied. I don't know what it is with the MAC stores and counters in NYC. It's like winningthe fucking lottery to score an interview. My friend works for the counter in the Bloomingdales in SoHo, and she tells me when they are hiring for certain locations.
On the other hand it seems like people who are getting jobs there are just lucking out. My friend said she randomly stopped by a counter looking at eyeshadows when they offered her a freelance job.

Re: MACYS SUCKS/hourly wage salary.
WTH?? seriously i've been trying this ENTIRE summer for a interview with mac. I had one in the beginning of summer and was told i would of been overwhelmed because my retail experience wasn't that great. Left in tears, but i didnt give up, and just yesterday i was at the mac counter at 34th street in nyc and it just made me feel like crap, because i see people working their who look like complete CLOWNS, PILED ON MAKEUP! no one ever wants to help you because its just fucking packed in there and they decide to look away. Its like what makes you so god damn better then me? you know lol sorry i am just so upset with this shit lol i am applying again this week, you are right about mac stores in nyc most of them are rude and just laugh in your face when you had in your resume. The one in harlem i traveled all the way from brooklyn, and this idiot said they weren't hiring and just walked away, they usually take your resume.
August 22nd, 2010, 09:49 PM #14
Re: MACYS SUCKS/hourly wage salary.
ugh so god damn credit cards lol i didn't even take the job i felt disrespected and worthless. Since you been there for 3 yrs why don't you apply for other places like mac, or free standing store. I'm sure with your experience you can get something way better with hours and pay. i hope you do SCREW MACYS lol unless mac hires me than we can talk lol hahahah
thanks for your response xoxoxo

^Your welcome! Yeah I have been looking but its a tought market right now! I'm really bff with my MA so he tries to keep me in the loop on openings and such. I just take it day by day and hope to leave that horried place asap! Good luck to you in your search!
August 26th, 2010, 07:06 PM #16
Re: MACYS SUCKS/hourly wage salary.
The on on 34th is the worst! I felt like crap when I went there to hand in my resume, they keep saying they're not hiring but I always see new girls there telling me they just got hired.
I also went to Fulton in BK's MACY's but the girl working there told me that I would have a better chance of going to Roosevelt Field (Or mall something like that) to speak with the manager there, since she does the hiring for that district. Have you tried there? I would go but I'm all the way uptown, and that's too far.

Try 7.25 an hour no raises, same pay for the last 4 years at least! The atmosphere is horrible in the Crystal Run, NY store! Same associates always getting recognized, and they work in all the busy departments! No where to go but out and make more money! I would never tell anyone to apply here, not worth the harrassment day in and day out!

"Don't ask like that," your server may tell you if you dare request spicy, and depending on your mood, you might indulge such attitude for mediocre Northern Indian and Bengali fare. Light, deep-fried lentil kachori are less of a liability, served in a zesty tamarind chutney; usual suspects like chicken tikka masala and a requested vegetarian curry (off menu) do the job with a minimum of flare. But takeout feels like a better bet considering the tiled, dimly lit cafeteria. Frankly, you can do better in Park Slope. And was it spicy? Not nearly enough to learn the proper way to ask.

Medicare Part D:
Some Plan Sponsors Have Not Completely Implemented Fraud and Abuse Programs, and CMS Oversight Has Been Limited
GAO-08-760: Published: Jul 21, 2008. Publicly Released: Aug 25, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) established a voluntary outpatient prescription drug benefit, known as Medicare Part D. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) contracts with private companies to serve as Part D sponsors and administer the Part D prescription drug benefit plans. To protect beneficiaries and the fiscal integrity of the program, the MMA requires Part D sponsors to implement programs to control for fraud and abuse in Part D. Subsequent regulations and guidance from CMS contain requirements and recommended measures for these programs. This report examines (1) the extent to which certain Part D sponsors have implemented programs to control fraud, waste, and abuse and (2) the extent of CMS's oversight of Part D sponsors' programs to control fraud, waste, and abuse. GAO conducted on-site reviews of five of the largest Part D sponsors' fraud and abuse programs. GAO also interviewed officials from CMS and reviewed CMS documents.
The five Part D sponsors in GAO's review had not completely implemented all of CMS's required compliance plan elements and selected recommended measures for Part D fraud and abuse programs. All Part D sponsors had completely implemented the requirements and selected recommendations for three of the seven required compliance plan elements. However, Part D sponsors varied in their implementation of the remaining required elements and selected recommended measures. CMS oversight of Part D sponsors' fraud and abuse programs has been limited. To date, CMS's activities have been limited to the review and approval of sponsors' fraud and abuse program plans submitted as part of the initial Part D applications. For example, CMS officials reported that they worked with sponsors to help them develop fraud and abuse program plans that met the agency's compliance plan requirements and recommendations specific to fraud and abuse. However, CMS has not conducted oversight to assess Part D sponsors' implementation of fraud and abuse programs. Officials from CMS stated that the agency had not audited sponsors' implementation of fraud and abuse programs in 2007, and as of April 2008, no audits of these programs had been conducted.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In the fall of 2008, CMS complied with the recommendation by initiating compliance plan audits of Part D Sponsors to ensure they were fulfilling CMS requirements regarding conducting internal investigations of potential fraud and abuse, developing and taking appropriate corrective actions, and making referrals to CMS for further investigation. As a requirement of the audit, Part D sponsors had to demonstrate how they implemented their compliance plan: to meet the statutory and regulatory requirements; and to identify, prevent and correct fraud, waste and abuse in their operations and the operations of their first tier, downstream and related entities.
Recommendation: To help safeguard the Medicare Part D program from fraud, waste, and abuse, the Administrator of CMS should ensure that CMS conducts timely audits of Part D fraud and abuse programs to monitor sponsors' implementation of these programs.

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
The XLR lineup is now comprised of two models: The ultra-luxury Platinum model and the high-performance XLR-V. Minor styling changes include revised front and rear fascias, new chrome side vents and a host of interior updates and improvements. The bulging hood previously unique to the V-Series is now featured on both trims.
Cadillac now offers a limited-edition Alpine White model and has improved the XLR's Magnetic Ride Control system. Expanded color choices, a heated steering wheel and optional 18-inch chrome wheels finish out the changes.
There are two new Limited Edition trims: Platinum and Passion Red. On the technical front, a new six-speed automatic replaces last year's five-speed, while the seventh-generation OnStar service is added to the standard-equipment list.
Continuing as Cadillac's only open-air offering, the XLR competes with other long-established premium convertibles in a battle to regain the company's world-class status. With a potent V8 engine, a Corvette-derived chassis and a retractable hardtop as slick as it is practical, the XLR is certainly a contender. But, in this league, name recognition is just as important as performance and price. Of course, the premium convertible market is a small slice of the pie and, with such a short list of competitors, XLR sales should continue to gain momentum. The only thing we can see holding back sales might be the high price tag some may feel the XLR has yet to earn.

"2006 Star Black - Great car. Unique styling, a real head turner. Performance is great, handling is outstanding (wouldn't mind having a little more power though). So far, very good reliability. Interior may not quite match others in it's category, but the eye catching lines and fact it is made in America more than make up for it. I'd recommend it to anyone!"

Brain Structures Differ between Musicians and Non-Musicians
From an early age, musicians learn complex motor and auditory skills (e.g., the translation of visually perceived musical symbols into motor commands with simultaneous auditory monitoring of output), which they practice extensively from childhood throughout their entire careers. Using a voxel-by-voxel morphometric technique, we found gray matter volume differences in motor, auditory, and visual-spatial brain regions when comparing professional musicians (keyboard players) with a matched group of amateur musicians and non-musicians. Although some of these multiregional differences could be attributable to innate predisposition, we believe they may represent structural adaptations in response to long-term skill acquisition and the repetitive rehearsal of those skills. This hypothesis is supported by the strong association we found between structural differences, musician status, and practice intensity, as well as the wealth of supporting animal data showing structural changes in response to long-term motor training. However, only future experiments can determine the relative contribution of predisposition and practice.

Musicians use both sides of their brains more frequently than average people
Supporting what many of us who are not musically talented have often felt, new research reveals that trained musicians really do think differently than the rest of us. Vanderbilt University psychologists have found that professionally trained musicians more effectively use a creative technique called divergent thinking, and also use both the left and the right sides of their frontal cortex more heavily than the average person.

To the Editor:—
Because the editorial "The Immunological Aspects of Ulcerative Colitis" (198:659, 1966) failed to mention atopic allergy to food and pollens, we believe that the following comments deserve consideration.Food allergy as a cause of chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC) was first reported by Andresen in 1933,1 and has been reported by us since 1942.3 Pollen allergy as a sole etiological factor, or associated with food allergy, was also reported by us in 1942 and reemphasized in 1955.3 We are convinced that when the causative food or pollen allergy is controlled by increasing numbers of physicians, atopic allergy will be recognized as a major cause of CUC.The causative role of atopic allergy was given support with the demonstration of gamma globulin antibodies to milk by Trueblood and Wright in 1961.4 Although these antibodies are found in clinically non-milk-sensitive individuals, they occur more often

Off-Campus Housing:
There are so many off campus housing options. There are 1/1's, 2/2's, 3/3's, and 4/4's available.The location of the apartment complex you choose is going to depend on what stores and restaurants are available, however regardless there are countless options.Living off- campus is cheaper than living on campus and buses are always running so if you do not have a car and need to get to campus it is not a problem.
Campus Food:
The dining halls are good, but sometimes you just get use to the food that they serve. There is a variety of options on campus to get good food as well as multiple places right next to campus to get food.
Campus Quality:
At the University of Florida, Student Government has made it possible to keep Library West open for 24 hours which is really convenient for pulling all nighters.The gyms on campus are awesome. South West Rec is open early in the morning and late into the night making it easy to work out!
During the winter, the weather is great! It is nice and cool outside, but the summers are an awful, humid mess.
Campus Housing:
If you are accepted in the honors program, you must live in Hume your freshman (and possibly sophmore) year. It is by far the best dorm on campus.
If I could do it all over again, I might have started in the higher level English classes sooner. I was told it was important to work my way up, but honestly the 3000-4000 level classes tend to have real professors and aren't that much harder. While some professors can be infuriating, you can at the very least respect that they know their subject.
English at UF is what you would expect. Reading can be a bit much at times, but for the most part you can be prepared through sparknotes. I tend to have two to four papers in each class, either two double spaced 10 page papers or 3-4 double spaced 4-5 page papers. Expect daily quizzes on your reading, but if you find a class that doesn't do that, jump on it. The class will be a nice break.
Getting into the English major was really easy. Getting into the university is the hard part. You just have to speak to the Liberal Arts and Sciences department and ask an adviser to make your major English. I declared it my second semester and there were no hoops to jump through.
UF has a great campus and local transportation system. Every night a student-run organization drives students all night to and from campus.
Drug Safety:
I hear about drug use but have never witnessed it. Alcohol is big around campus and is pretty relevant.
Campus Housing:
Horrible. I doing worst than planned living on campus. It's expensive, staff members (Resident Assistants and Graduate Hall Directors) are mostly rude and talked bad about residents, and you are stuck on campus for the entire year and can't leave even you are on the verge of eviction.
Guys & Girls:
Varies from person to person. I feel like those who are in fraternities and sororities can be pretty rude sometimes.
Campus Quality:
Very beautiful campus on the outside
Campus Quality:
Some things are decent and then some could use renovations
There is a lot of cultural diversity here- but I sometimes feel like the majority of the school is white frat guys.
In short parking sucks. The price of a voucher is insane and it's temporary. Also there is not many parking spots to go with anyway.
Guys & Girls:
The girls are pretty nerdy but that doesn't mean they aren't fun to hang with. The cool thing about UF girls is that a lot of them workout and they have some nice bodies. At night Gainesville is a party city so most girls go out and drink with friends or if not they spend the night studying. Also girls like to wear yoga pants for some strange reason.
Sports at UF are taken very seriously. Football is the most supported sport as far as student involvement, fan support, school spirit and athletic facilities are concerned. The home UF football games really bring the city of Gainesville to life. A UF home game is definitely a special experience to all who may come.
The UF campus is large and there is a lot of walking involved in your academic and social life. Unfortunately, in the early fall and late spring, or if you're attending over the summer, the heat and humidity can become unbearable. There aren't really seasons in Gainesville and being in the middle of the state there isn't a lot of wind to help cool. As with the rest of Florida, thunderstorms are a part of life and you should always be prepared for sun or rain.
Health & Safety:
There is a fair amount of crime on campus, but we are alerted when any occurs via text message and e-mail. I've never lived on campus, but I know that most people move off as soon as possible, whether that's a choice due to safety or lifestyle probably depends on the person.
Campus Quality:
The old collegiate look is nice, but it feels very dingy in places. The "green spaces" are mostly grass and weeds, and computers on campus look like they have not been cleaned in 10 years.
Summers are the hottest, most humid and stagnant in the whole state. Then it becomes more mild in fall and spring, but with wide temperature fluctuations over the course of day (e.g. need a sweatshirt in the morning, then can't wear it in the afternoon and sweat while walking between classes). Winter can get very cold (by Florida standards).
There is a supposed "strict" honor code in place, and it is enforced strictly in some classes and contexts, but not others. Some online classes have webcam proctored exams, and some have no regulations at all. A major source of cheating are the groups of people I have seen in science classes who share all their materials, especially lab materials and old exams, with their friends after them.
A majority of students get scooters or motorcycles because otherwise you can't park on campus. Most students take the bus, ride bikes, or walk. You can only get a parking decal if you live on campus, and even then you have to park a mile away from your dorm.
Busses are pretty convenient in Gainesville. They even have "later gator" busses that run after hours. UF also has a program called "SNAP" which will drive you anywhere on campus after dark until 2am.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Some schools have certain advantages over others. Small schools give a feeling of community; large schools have lots of resources; private schools are ripe for close academic relationships with faculty; and state schools offer a good value. Well, UF is not your typical state school, and Gainesville is certainly not your stereotypical small town. Because this place is so big, it has all of the libraries, dorms, athletics, courses, clubs, and services you could want at a good price. But if you put forth just a little effort, you'll find that the University also has more compassionate, down-to-earth professors, locals, and students that any small, private school could ever dream of having.
The best thing about going to a school like UF is that whatever you want to accomplish in life, it is probably obtainable through going to this school. You will never have to worry about not fitting in with anyone because the campus is a huge melting pot. Students are never bored on campus because there is literally always something to do with friends both on or off campus. And who wouldn't want to go to a school where the immense amount of school pride is literally unexplainable? It sure is great to be a Florida Gator.

This paper describes a model-based approach to perform tracking of extratropical atmospheric disturbances from a sequence of satellite cloud-cover images. More precisely, it deals with the estimation of motion of these spiral-shaped cloud systems (both translational and rotational motion), and the measurement of the evolution of their shape. Tracking is achieved by recording from one image to the next the changes of the model parameter values. A maximum likelihood criterion is used in the process of fitting model to sensed data. The defined model takes into account geometric and intensity aspects. Such an approach readily yields global information on the disturbance cloud system of interest. As a requirement in such an application is robustness to noise, to this end two versions of the modeling have been considered.

Glad to see that we can finally order a set of wash cloths by themselves instead of having to buy the entire set (3 sizes). I prefer the Mainstays True Colors line, but unfortunately they have them priced too expensive online. These launder well and don't shed lint or bleed colors. Would buy again.
My hubby ordered these and was shocked at the color. Didn't even come close to our bathroom colors but, after looking at them I found them to be a beautiful coral color and once washed and put in the linen closest to use they are now my farvorite washcloth. Thick enough to do the job but not so heavy to be bulky. Ladies you know what I mean, when washing up the kids and the cloth is to thin and can't get the job done or like using the hand towel. They wash very well and now I love the color so much I am redoing the bathroom!!
I loved the color that I ordered and they exceeded my expectations. They are soft and the whole family loves using them. I would recommend these to anyone needing wash cloths!
Surprised at value for price
I really like the washcloths I ordered from Walmart. The cloth material is not too thin, and not too heavy to wring out. They're perfect.
These are of good quality. I have been using them for a week now and I really like the softness of the 100% cotton cloth! They lather up well and are of a nice size being not to generous in size. I even bought one set for kitchen wash cloth and they work well for this too. They are very absorbent for the kitchen. I notice the loops do tend to snag on surfaces if you use them for wiping things off. I have washed the red cloths when I recieved them and they held there dye and did not shrink. I use these red cloth for my kitchen and did accidently bleach one with some cleaner so you can not expect the color to hold up to bleaching. I would say over all, these are a good quality wash cloth!
These are a nice, thick and absorbent wash cloth, however, there are a couple of issues which could help determine if they are the right ones for your particular need: 1) There is some pilling of the material after washing.
2) The color tends to fade (I purchased a darker green color and have not used any type of bleach) after a few washings. If you are looking for a nice everyday wash cloth for family use, these are great, but if you are looking for something that you would like to use in a guest bath, not such a good idea, unless you choose a lighter color that would not show the fading as much as the darker color tends to do.
These cloths are an excellent value. Admittedly, I am talking about the cloths I purchased on line and on sale, but I normally buy the ones in the store @ $2.27 each. When you had a seasonal change, the color I wanted was no longer stocked so I looked on line and you had them (at a much lower price1) Frankly, in the store or not, they are the best value of all your wash cloths. The cheaper style have only serged edges while the higher priced ones are WAY too expensive. These have a nice, reasonably thick pile, attractive border, and they keep their integrity.
I ordered two sets of these because I figured, for the price, I would end up needing to replace them sooner than I would have if I had gone to a department store and gotten "name brand" towels. I was so wrong and I have never been happier to admit it. These are good and thick, wash easily, and rinse clean. They are exactly the same color in person as they were on the website, which blew me away as well, and they match my bathroom colors perfectly. Thank you, Walmart!
These wash cloths are excellent value, lightweight, yet well-made. I have athritis in my hands, and it's difficult to hold a heavy, wet rag, so these get the job done without being too much for me to handle. All the Mainstays products I've purchased have been excellent quality and value. Thanks very much!
We are heading to Jamaica for our wedding and these were perfect to put in the welcome bags for our guests. Our resort doesn't have washcloths (weird, I know) so we placed 2 in each bag. The colors are really nice and they are very thick and durable. Great price too!
I purchased berry glow thinking it was a dark pink color and it's actually burgundy. I'll be returning this because it's not the color I wanted.
When these first arrived, I was disappointed. They seemed very thin. I was disappointed. Then I used one. The fibers fluffed right up and thickened the entire cloth. They have remained that way. I'm very pleased.
my mistake i didn't read the description right i end up with 8 small hand towel its in good material durable so didn't return it
I bought two sets of these in cheer pink, they are so fluffy, bright, and beautiful! I will order these again in the future!
Nice product - cheerful (very bright though) blue. Also ordered in a nice Hunter Green.
Very soft, large size and great quality of material. I'm pleased with them.
Thick and very nice.
