- "You are a slave. Want emancipation?"
- —Teaser trailer
Persona 5 is the sixth game in the Persona series. It is an upcoming role-playing game developed by Atlus' P-Studio.
The story focuses on the 16-year-old protagonist after he is transferred to Syujin High School in Tokyo, Japan. He is currently staying with Sojiro Sakura, his parents' friend, at a coffee shop called Cafe Le Blanc. At school, the protagonist meets up with problem student Ryuji Sakamoto, the withdrawn Anne Takamaki, art student Yusuke Kitagawa, and a talking, shape-shifting cat-like creature known as Morgana.
The prologue consists of the protagonist confronting a man who harasses women, and subsequently being detained by the police because of the injuries he inflicts on that man. The protagonist is then sentenced to probation. He becomes a Phantom Thief afterwards to fight against that.
During the protagonist's time there, feeling suppressed by their environment, the five form a group known as the "Phantom Thieves of Hearts". They work together to explore The Palace, which represents the distorted minds of adults, and the goal of the heroes is to steal hidden "treasure" from the world in order to help reform their targets. During this quest, they confront adult authority figures opposing them, along with a greater enemy revealed by their activities.
Later, more members join the Phantom Thieves: Makoto Niijima, Futaba Sakura, Haru Okumura, and Goro Akechi.
Themes Edit
While the focus and main theme of Persona 3 is death and the focus of Persona 4 is identity and seeking truth, the main theme of Persona 5 will be slavery - whether it be in the form of slavery to countries, government, authority figures, rules and laws, societal expectations, money, bills, debt, school, jobs, etc. Persona 5 will discuss the hardships of modern-day 21st century society and feature characters that are restrained by the rules set by this society, especially in Japan where the game is set. As a result, players will be confronted with trials and chains that they will have to overcome.
However, the mood and tone will be different. Persona 5 is about how humanity is engaged in a system of slavery, and about a kind of freedom that is different from the other games in the series. This freedom is meant to liberate those who "are bored and discontent with their lives".[2]
Atlus expects and wants players of Persona 3 and Persona 4 to feel at home with this game. Persona 5 is meant to be an emotional experience that stirs up its audience and finally lets them go with a strong message of catharsis after everything is said and done.[3]

Daily life Edit
Like Persona 3 and Persona 4, the story takes place over the course of a year.
Players can take do part-time jobs, play video games, going out with friends,go to restaurants, study, go to the movies, play baseball, go to the bathhouse,fishing, exercise in your own home or go to the gym. These certain activities can increase the player's stat performance such as their Max HP and SP. The third trailer released during Tokyo Game Show 2015 also teased a variety of minigames.
The SNS system allows the player player to chat with other characters using phone text messages. This will allow players to personalize and expand their stories.
Players will be able to explore various locations in the Greater Tokyo Area.
The Cooperation system will be similar to the Social Links of Persona 3 and Persona 4 and will involve building relationships with helpers around the city for various benefits in battle.[6]
Dungeon and combat Edit
During the prologue, players can select the difficulty from Safety, Easy, Normal and Hard. Like previous Persona titles, the player can not change the difficulty afterwards until the player has finished the game. The player is able to play in "Maniac" difficulty, which is one difficulty level above Hard, but only after completing the game once on a New Game +.
Players engage in combat with demons of unknown origin using both melee and ranged weapons, instead of only one weapon type.
Players can explore a side quest Dungeon called the Mementos where players can traverse by driving a Morgana vehicle where they do certain objectives such as stealing hearts.
Players can plan out their heists depending if the player will do it or not will effect the story. The primary dungeons are not randomly generated, consisting mainly of places a phantom thief would want to infiltrate, and will feature elements of real-time gameplay such as platforming, stealth and traps. The game also brings back the old way of acquiring Personas: negotiating and making contracts with the Demons, a feature returning from absence since Persona 2, in vein with the Shin Megami Tensei games. Players can trigger a negotiation during a "Hold Up" or an "All Out Attack" during battle. If the player suceeds an All Out Attack, a quick animation shows one of the playable characters that receives the final hit in battle.
While activating into battle when the player is in stealth mode and is able to encounter it in time. The player has a head start during battle displaying "CHANCE". When the player has encountered a "WEAK" spot on the enemy a new feature called a "BATON TOUCH" where players can pass on another character to boost up their stats during battle.
Unlike previous Persona games where players have to go though menus in order to give in a command in battle, Persona 5 has an improved battle system where players can take advantage of the UI.

The game was first mentioned to be under development in August 2011 in an interview with Katsura Hashino, the producer of the Persona series. Hashino confirmed that the basic preparations for the development were finished and announced the return of Shigenori Soejima and Shoji Meguro as character designer and music composer, respectively. Both Soejima and Meguro previously worked together with Hashino on Persona 3, Persona 4 and Catherine.
Unlike Catherine, which used the Gamebryo engine, Persona 5 uses a new engine.[7] Before it was decided that the game would be released exclusively for the PlayStation 3, it was also discussed internally to move the series to mobile gaming devices like the PlayStation Vita or smartphones. Eventually, Hashino and his team chose the PlayStation 3 as they felt that fans would love to see another game for home consoles.
Persona 5 was officially revealed on November 24, 2013 following a 72-hour countdown that eventually resulted in a series of announcements that included Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth and Persona 4: Dancing All Night. A Persona 5 website domain was previously registered on June 25th, 2013 by Index Corporation, the former parent company of Atlus.[8] An American release was confirmed on February 25, 2014 with an originally estimated release in 2015.[9] A PlayStation 4 version of the game was announced on September 1, 2014 during Sony's Tokyo Game Show conference with a new trailer that gave a first look on the setting and the game's protagonist. [10] A bonus Blu-Ray containing a variety of Persona 5 related content was released as preorder bonus for the Japanese version of Persona 4: Dancing All Night on June 25, 2015, which also included the second trailer for the game.[11]
On September 17, 2015 a third trailer for Persona 5 was shown as part of the company's Tokyo Game Show 2015 broadcast which revealed that the release date would be postponed to Summer 2016.[12] According to Katsura Hashino, this decision was made so that game could become the biggest out of all the games he has directed so far.[13]

- Unlike previous Persona titles, which were set in fictional locations, Persona 5 takes place in Tokyo, primarily in the Shibuya ward.
- The dates shown in gameplay footage line up correctly with the 2016 calendar; however, the calendar in the game displays the year as 20XX, leaving the exact year ambiguous.
- According to Hashino, Persona 5 will have the most content out of any of the games he has directed. During an interview with Hashino, Persona 5 is said to have more hours of gameplay than the previous Persona titles to keep long-time fans and newcomers interested.
- The box art of Persona 5 has a similar style to Persona 4's, in that the main cast is featured surrounding the Protagonist, who stands at the front of the group, with the game's setting and the Protagonist's Persona in the background.
- Persona 5 includes Nuclear and Psy elemental skills, which have not been seen in the franchise since the Persona 2 duology and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, respectively.
- The Arcana written on the tarot cards use French instead of English, matching the French origin of most initial Personas such as Arsène, Carmen and Milady.

In Gibbons's classic tale, a resourceful young heroine finds herself in the gloomy, overwrought world of a Hardy or Bronte novel and proceeds to organize everyone out of their romantic tragedies into the pleasures of normal life. Flora Poste, orphaned at 19, chooses to live with relatives at Cold Comfort Farm in Sussex, where cows are named Feckless, Aimless, Pointless, and Graceless, and the proprietors, the dour Starkadder family, are tyrannized by Flora's mysterious aunt, who controls the household from a locked room. Flora's confident and clever management of an alarming cast of eccentrics is only half the pleasure of this novel. The other half is Gibbons's wicked sendup of romantic cliches, from the mad woman in the attic to the druidical peasants with their West Country accents and mystical herbs. Anne Massey's skillful rendering of a variety of accents will make this story more accessible to American audiences. Recommended for both literary and popular collections.

One of the best advantages Gulfstream business travel offers is the ability to continue a work day―even while jetting through the air at 562 miles/904 kilometers or more an hour.
When an aircraft comes in for service, Gulfstream technicians conduct a comprehensive inspection of every part and component, and because of their expertise with every Gulfstream model, they can anticipate needs, make repairs and quickly return the aircraft to service. Gulfstream service centers also house some of the most sophisticated test equipment in business aviation. For some repairs, Gulfstream is the only designated service center authorized to work on a supplier's part. Other Gulfstream technicians don't just make repairs, they also handle the original manufacturing.
Owners and operators also have additional confidence staying with Gulfstream because scheduling repairs at a Gulfstream site assures warranty protections remain in place. The highly detailed service history that Gulfstream service centers maintain on each aircraft also better protects aircraft value.
Gulfstream's top-rated product support efforts extend to providing technicians all the information they need. Should a technician ever want to consult a Gulfstream engineer, that option is readily available as part of Gulfstream's effort to maintain its standard for excellence and reliability.
One of the best advantages Gulfstream business travel offers is the ability to continue a work day―even while jetting through the air at 562 miles/904 kilometers or more an hour.
Air travel is safer and more cost-efficient with an enhanced navigation system known as Wide Area Augmentation System-Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (WAAS-LPV).
The world is not flat. So why should a pilot's cockpit display only be two-dimensional? Seeing accurate terrain representation rather than a simple color-coded representation is a unique safety feature of the Gulfstream Synthetic Vision-Primary Flight Display (SV-PFD).
The Gulfstream GIV and Gulfstream GV cockpits leap forward in avionics capability with a PlaneDeck retrofit, which replaces the original Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) primary flight displays with sharper, more vivid Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).

UK/CHINA: Greenpeace accuses Tesco of illegal pesticide levels in China stores
Greenpeace claims food in Tesco's stores in China have illegal levels of pesticides
Greenpeace has claimed food products sold at Tesco's stores in China contain illegal levels of pesticides.
The pressure group said it had commissioned tests revealing that fruit, vegetables and rice showed traces of pesticide including methamidophos and monocrotophos, which the environmental organisation says have been banned in China since 2007.
"I am sure British people expect the fruit and vegetables they buy at Tesco shops in the UK to be safe to eat, so why shouldn't this be the case in China?" Greenpeace food and agriculture campaigner Wang Jing said last week.
"Tesco is not complying with the law in China. It is shirking its responsibility to protect the wellbeing of its customers and the environment. Its negligence is in stark contrast to overseas retailers operating in China that have already committed to remove the more harmful pesticides from their produce, such as France's Carrefour and Auchan, and Japan's Aeon (Jusco) and Ito Yokado."
However, Tesco conducted their own tests on the product lines alleged to be unsafe and say they are safe.
A spokesman said: "Our initial tests have shown these products to be safe for customers and compliant with local laws.
"Food safety is a vital part of the trust we want our customers to place in us. All of the samples tested were safe for customers and compliant with Chinese law.
"We have asked Greenpeace for further evidence to help us trace these products back to their source so we can conduct further tests and ensure that the suppliers are complying with our strict controls on the use of pesticides."
The test results were part of a wider Greenpeace study of pesticide residues on agricultural goods sold at Chinese stores owned by Tesco and two other major supermarket chains, Thailand's Lotus, also owned by Tesco, and China's Bailian Group.

Easy Packet Modification for Real World Testing
Whether in network trouble-shooting or in security investigations, network packets play an important role. Typically, these professionals need to analyze packets to uncover important information. In some other cases, though, it is useful to be able to modify packets. This is particularly important for a NEM (Network Equipment Manufacturer) when performing networking testing or when sanitizing a pcap before distributing to the public or other organizations. In this blog, we will describe a powerful and useful technique for packet modification and how this is both interesting and challenging in the real world.
There are many tools for modifying packets. Some of these are open source and some are commercial. Most of the tools allow a user to make changes to a packet or a group of packets by specifying some parameters either in the command line or in the GUI. While this works for some network scenarios for which the tools are designed, the particular tools are often not applicable in other scenarios at all.
At CapStar, we believe that the ever-changing real world will present many challenging network scenarios where the problem involves analyzing packets or modify packets. Instead of creating a tool that works for only some limited cases, CapStar is designed to be open and flexible so it can be effective in networking scenarios that were not even thought of even a few years ago. To date, CapStar has created 200 scripts for packet analysis and dozens of scripts for packet modification for the CapStar Packet Analyzer platform. Users can either use or tweak the existing ones, create new ones, or ask CapStar to create scripts for them (we are always happy to hear new requirements).
What can CapStar do with respect to modifying packets? Let's first look at modifying the server ports of packets in a pcap file. Here, the challenge is one doesn't want to blindly change all the destination ports to a new port number, instead, we want to change the ports in a consistent way: for the packets sent to the server, we need to change the destination port; for the packets sent from the server, we need to change the source port to the new server port.
This is not necessarily easy for many other tools that can change one packet at a time but this action is very trivial for CapStar:

Heteroditopic Receptors for Ion-Pair Recognition
Ion-pair recognition is a new field of research emerging from cation and anion coordination chemistry. Specific types of heteroditopic receptor designs for ion pairs and the complexity of ion-pair binding are discussed to illustrate key concepts such as cooperativity. The importance of this area of research is reflected by the wide variety of potential applications of ion-pair receptors, including applications as membrane transport and salt solubilization agents and sensors.

oh, please. no one suggesting this idiots not speak/film their idiocy. it just that should be denouced.who mentioned Obama?
you sound like looking for another reason complain about obama. get real. he affirmed first amendment in initial announcement.
A lawyer should not want people to call them "doctor" because people will think they have lots of money which is misleading for most lawyers. People may also expect us to be extraordinarly smart which is not the case. I think its legal for anyone to call themself "doctor". Its only when you cut someone open or prescribe meds which triggers illegality. For example, take "Dr. DRE", he got away with it for years but didn't face legal problems because he doesn't prescribe meds - Neither did Dr. Suess

"I felt the scholarship funding allowed me to explore more of what the University offered beyond the classroom and put me in touch with people who helped me have a full and vibrant experience while in school."
The Office of Fellowships & Scholar Programs is the home base for Carolina, Stamps Carolina, McNair, Hamilton and Horseshoe Scholars. Here they are provided advisement and support on a full and vibrant array of high-impact opportunities that distinguish them in their pursuit of national fellowships, internship placements, acceptance to graduate schools, and employment.

"When I discovered and seized the opportunity to travel to China with the Confucius Institute, I was able to merge my curiosity for wold cultures, interest in international business, and unyielding desire to have a personal experience in China. I realized that in order to begin to understand China, I have to learn about the Chinese people. Traveling is learing about the people. This generation is one of world citizens, of which I am thrilled to get to know. Our scholars have no limits in pursuing their dreams."
Our scholars have no limits in pursuing their dreams.

Scholars will also begin work at companies such as Manhattan Associates, Belden, Johnson & Johnson, ScottMadden Consulting, Société Générale Investment Bank, and Bechtel Marine Propulsion Corporation.
- Our Scholar alumni flourish as outdoor educators, business consultants, artists, professors, environmentalists, journalists, parents, clergy, engineers, pharmacists, and more.

The Integer / row at the moment is around 520, so I want to do:

WEBSTER, TEXAS -- I was hired at the Outback located at 481 W. Bay Area Blvd. Webster, TX 77598. I was told to dye my hair because my roots were showing. I said that it was not a problem and that I would have it done immediately. This was on a Monday. I was told to come back on Wednesday at 3 pm to take a test over the menu. I studied and I was prepared. My brother was in town from Indianapolis, so I sent him on a fishing trip for the day since I had this test. An hour before the test I received a text message from the Outback trainer. She was TEXTING, how unprofessional, to "remind me" that my test was Thursday at 3pm.
She sent me a text message saying that was the date all along. I called her because this was incorrect, and if she needed to change the date at least she could have called and told me what happened. She then explained that she was busy and had other plans. How was this my fault? Then, she was irritated at me. I could hear it with her attitude and the tone of her voice. She set the date. I wrote it down when she told me. When I went in the following day to take the test she escorted me to a booth where I could take the test.
Then, she told me again that ** the manager said I needed to dye my hair. I stated that I had just dyed it. I pulled my hair to show her the roots under the light. I started to take the test. I was almost done when ** the manager came out and said that I needed to dye my hair. I was confused so I asked why.
He spoke to me in a tone that I did not care for. He said that my hair was too pink and that no one has the color of red I had in my hair. It had to be natural. I then asked if he wanted it more brown. I was trying to find out if I could still have red hair. He grabbed the test out of my hands, and continued to yell at me. He taunted me saying that, "You didn't even have the job 3 days and you're fired." He was smiling about it. He enjoyed humiliating me. I could tell that everyone there was scared of him.
The bartender that was there hid behind the computer and gave me the I'm sorry look. I was only trying to understand what color was acceptable. He talked to me in a manner that was simply unacceptable. I really needed the job, but I could never work for a person like that.
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- Glazed Pork loin served less than 1 inch in width. Pork loins are at least 2 to 3 inches in width. When I am not dining out, I am cooking in my kitchen. Pork loin is a favorite of mine. Even in the picture in the Outback menu the pork loin is 3 to 4 inches in width. Seriously, what I received were cubes less than the size of a quarter. How embarrassing! The server actually brought it out.
The cook should have said the store was out of Pork loin instead of creating some pork chop substitute. The server should have rejected the plate. The manager should have agreed the plate was incorrect instead of lying about the size of a pork loin cut. Our meal was $100 and consisted of the glazed pork loin plate, the filet and shrimp plate, the fettucini and shrimp, the salmon plate, plus wine and salads. The meal came out late because the cook was trying to figure out how to create the pork loin from whatever was in the kitchen. I returned the pork loin plate and the manager took it off the bill. UNBELIEVABLE! From Outback?
Never have I had a bad experience until now. The food was cold because the cook was trying to come up with something that looked like pork loins. The manager offered a bull story about the size of a pork loin, adding insult to injury. The cook and the server completely failed to control quality. The manager failed to admit the failure and provide an honest and sincere apology and acknowledge publicly the failure. Either stick with the maintain stays on the menu and stay away from fancy new menu items, or train your people to say they don't have the menu item, or do it right!
I dine out 10 to 12 times per month at $15 to $25 plate restaurants and have for over 10 years. The people I work with and socialize with dine out frequently... I'll be commenting about the poor experience and the declining quality at Outback. Outback has a serious problems! I believe McDonald's went through a decline several years ago and had to return to the basics- to fix the quality of the experience. Learn from their past.
SPRINGFIELD, VIRGINIA -- On our way home from a family vacation in Washington, DC we passed through Springfield, VA and decided to eat at Outback Steakhouse. We usually go to the one in Greenville, SC so we were happy to find one on the way home. When we went we had a rude waiter and a few other things happen that really got me angry. Not the service we are used to from Outback. Well, when I got home I decided to let the company know because I would want to know if it was my business. I didn't think anyone would care to tell you the truth. I just did it to make myself feel better. Well, was I wrong.
I immediately got a phone call from the proprietor at the Outback in VA. Her name was Donna Rambler and she was the nicest woman I have ever encountered. Wonderful manager! She seemed to really sympathize with my story and truly gave me the feeling she was sorry it happened. I was surprised she seemed so upset by the incident. She apologized for what happened and assured me she would talk to the people who were rude and I believed she would. I hung up the phone not angry anymore, thinking it was just a bad night.
Well, 4 days later I received a box in the mail and it was filled with cookies and brownies, beautifully packaged! I was SHOCKED to see it was from Outback! In it was a letter apologizing again for the service. I also received a comp ticket to go back to Outback on them. Unbelievable! I have never had a company make me feel truly appreciated. We went tonight to dinner and sure enough, everything was perfect. It really made up for the last time.
I thank Outback for having such wonderful customer service and am truly surprised. You don't think companies out there care anymore but this one does. My hats off to Outback for realizing that I will be a customer for life and will tell everyone I know what a great company they are. I wish more companies had customer service like this!
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- Ate at Outback Mission Valley, San Diego, California today (April 1, 2009), and the joke was on me. Ordered the basic pasta off the value meal $9.99. There was a chicken add on option of 2.99 more. Asked, how much more for Salmon, was told just $1.00! I said, "that seems too cheap, even if it is $3.00 (the price of the chicken) I am OK with this, however, if it is any more, I do not want the salmon. Instead, just bring me the basic pasta." When the bill arrived, I was charged for the basic pasta plus $14.99 for the Salmon!!! What happened to just a buck. I brought it to my server's attention, and was told that he rang it in this way to save me money.
What???? This did not save me, he apologized and I was told he would correct it. He came back, and took $2.00 off the bill. I told him this does not make it right... he said any more and his manager needs to make the correction. His manager came by, only to tell me that it was my fault for ordering salmon, and that the correct price is an additional $14.99. Then he went on to say he would correct it just this once. He came back with a new bill, that took $7.49 off the bill, but it was still not correct. I paid the overpriced bill, and decided to cross outback off the list of fair good value restaurants.
I do not need to get upset, nor do I need an idiot manager to tell me what the price is, when his servers are ignorant and give out the wrong price. I told the manager to educate the server, but he felt the need to tell me his pricing. In any event, Outback Mission Valley San Diego is over billing - a form of stealing. I overpaid and am totally not happy, that is why I wrote this blog. I know that Outback lovers will continue to go there, so remember to check your bill, and when you are over billed, that is the price you pay for enjoying Outback. There is no value there, they will cheat you if they can - with a smile.
TURNERSVILLE, NEW JERSEY -- On 3/6/09 I went to the Turnersvill, NJ Outback Steakhouse with my wife, daughter & her husband to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I'm a 54 year old, semi-retired male. We first went to the Road House Restaurant but the wait was too long. We decided to go to Outback instead. We had to wait almost 30 minutes to get inside. Right away the problems started. They seated us at a table that was too small for 4 large adults. Also it was unstable and it rocked. I asked to be moved but they said "no other tables were available, take it or leave it."
The start of things to come on very poor customer service. We finally got our food after 20 minutes and my mashed potatoes were ice cold. I waited for a waiter for a few minutes, nobody came, so I took my dish back to the kitchen. After 5 more minutes of watching my family eat without me, they finally brought back the mashed potatoes and they were only semi-warm. The lady told me they have given me the old batch of potatoes first, like I wanted to really hear that comment.
As we ate the table rocked back and forth every time someone cut their steak or chicken. I was so upset, I hardly ate anything including the semi-nuked mashed potatoes. No one came buy to offer any apologies or attempted to remedy the situation.
My daughter was so upset, she walked out of the restaurant crying. I then asked to see the manager and his name was **. Where did you get this guy at? He was and is the worst customer service person you could have hired. I told him of all my troubles and he only offered me 2 free appetizers on my next visit. I said "next visit, I'll never step foot in another Outback restaurant again in my lifetime." I said "the least you should do is comp the dinner free of charge and give my family another free dinner on the house. Then maybe I could re-evaluate this chain."
He then told me I have a rotten attitude and to stop talking and listen to him. He didn't want to hear my side of the story. He said we are done talking and to leave his restaurant. I was so upset when I got home I called the restaurant and asked to speak to ** again and I told him I was contacting my Chase Credit Card company and reversing the charges of $95.00. He started hollering at me again and said never to come back to his restaurant again. You seriously have to investigate this manager and provide counseling and therapy. How can you ever hire a cruel and demeaning person like this in the public eye?
NASHVILLE - RIVERGATE AREA, TENNESSEE -- Last night, my partner and I went for dinner at Outback in the Nashville, TN Rivergate Area (Madison). We were seated in the smoking bar area. As soon as we sat down and ordered a beer, the table of two men beside us started making crude comments about gays. We are both professionals and were dressed as such. We weren't being "gay", flamboyant, or causing a scene. But the comments continued and increased in intensity as the minutes passed and we became more and more uncomfortable.
The salads arrived, the waitress asked if we needed anything else. Not wanting to provoke the table next us, we quietly said "yes". Anyone in the restaurant would have known otherwise as the table beside us had already raised everyone's brow more than once or caused bar patrons to turned around to see who was yelling such slanderous remarks. At one point the man primarily responsible, turned around and looked at me and asked if I was using my fork and could he have it. For why, I do not know. But I said I was going to use it. He turned back around and said "**!" No one from the Outback staff ever approached the table or asked them to keep their voices down.
The comments continued from the table beside us. (At that point I unlocked my cellphone and had 911 ready to dial.) Before we could finish our salads, the man next to us yelled "G.D. Homosexuals" across the bar and a young mother, who was taking her child to the restroom, gasped in horror and snatched her child into the restroom. Just about that time our waitress came by and we told her to ask the Manager to meet us outside.
Leaving our beer, salads, and undelivered entrees behind we went outside and waited. When the Manager finally appeared, we informed him of what happened. He said this is the first he had heard of it. We told him that the verbal gay bashing had gone on for nearly 40 minutes and it was escalating to the point we became fearful, didn't want to provoke a hate crime and decided to leave. He had no excuse for his staff nor did he seem to care much. In hindsight, we should have probably filed a police complaint, but I'm glad we didn't stick around and become a hate crime victim.
44124, OHIO -- I've been going to the Outback in Lyndhurst, OH, for a while now, since I live in the neighborhood. They have consistent problem with preparing well done steaks and it seems that there is no cure for it. For some strange reason, it's always "bleeding" and red and rare/medium rare, but never well done. Looks like their cooks have serious issues with comprehending what well done means. And this time we went to celebrate my birthday, and it was a disaster (as usual).
I had to return my steak, and then I waited for 15 min, and then they bring my steak back and it's all burned. And I ordered a 16 oz steak, and what they brought back was about 8 oz (I guess the other half of it burned completely). By the time they brought it back I wasn't hungry anymore anyway, so I canceled the whole order, and the waitress got all mad. So we had to wait another 20 min for a desert.
Everybody else was OK since they ordered pasta and chicken, and I was all upset since I ended up eating bread and salad. And I have to deal with this pretty much every time I go there. Why cannot you leave the steak on the grill for a few extra minutes and get it done right the first time??? Oh, and try to make sure you don't hire psycho waitresses, that would be helpful too!
TAMPA, FLORIDA -- Tampa (Henderson Street). Dec. 27 found hair in salad, and Manager saw it and comped $9.99 of $78 total bill. When my family was not with me I called and told him I was surprised he did not comp entire bill. I could have loudly complained as the restaurant was at full capacity, but opted to keep it low-key. He credited another $21 to my Visa but I feel the entire $78 should have been comped.
Also, my guests were hesitant eating their own salads, and the one that ordered a Cobb Salad didn't even finish half of it as she lost her appetite! While Manager said this compensation was standard in the industry, I immediately found examples online where other Outback Managers comped the entire meals for hair in a sandwich and also a salad -- and their total bills exceeded $100. Comments or Feedback -- is this acceptable?
SUWANEE, GEORGIA -- Went to Outback for a steak dinner. When we were seated we were looking for a nice meal. The service was slow. It appeared that our table was not on anyone's list so we had to wait. My wife ordered the prime rib and I ordered the rib eye. Both were to be done 'medium'.
After a long wait for our salad our meat arrived. Her rib was 'rare'. The waiter said they would put it back on the grill to cook it some more. The best way to ruin a prime rib is to grill it. The meat was black and tasted burnt. My rib eye was tough and tasteless. They replaced it but the replacement was just as bad. All in all the service was slow and the food was not to our liking. We would not be going back for a long time. They must have reduced the quality of the meat they are serving.
DANVILLE, VIRGINIA -- Myself, my wife and two little girls were at the Danville VA Outback store on Sunday August 5, sitting at the last booth closest to the BAR and the Kitchen entrance. Our Server was **, who we thought was wonderful, we also had the not so happy experience with the Bar Keep on duty **. She complained the entire time we were there and right before we left after we had admired our server take care of almost every table in the lounge area, even the ones that she wasn't even getting a tip from, she belittle ** in front of the entire Lounge customers.
And I will have to say my family and I made a choice before we left that if she is ever at the bar when we come back we will not sit in that area. I really hate to complain but seeing ** handle the embarrassing moment like it was nothing I could still tell she was hurt and didn't want anyone to know....

Bay View Cafe evicted after 25 years - Mendocino Beacon
There are 21 comments on the Mendocino Beacon story from Mar 8, 2012, titled Bay View Cafe evicted after 25 years - Mendocino Beacon. In it, Mendocino Beacon reports that:After 25 years of renting the same space from the same owner, Bay View Cafe owner Jim Jones received an eviction notice on Feb.

#1 Mar 8, 2012
This is SO WRONG on so many levels. Heartless, simply heartless. I hope the community supports Jim and boycotts whatever new entity moves in.
#2 Mar 8, 2012
How sad that a place with such class has to go in order to make way for a "new" business. Whatever/whoever moves into the building BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT. Please keep everyone updated on where Jim goes and continues his business because we will all be there. Good Luck to the Jones Family.
#3 Mar 8, 2012
I always include a meal at Bayview everytime I visit. I hope some other property owner in the area provides a new home to The Bayview ASAP! I hope this apparently greedy owner gets a big dose of Karma!
#4 Mar 8, 2012
I live in LA. Used to go to the Bay View every year. I will be skipping Mendocino if the Bay View is gone. What a heartless landlord after 25 years. What is the matter with people. There are lots of places to go so everyone let's BOYCOTT the new place so it folds. Empty rentals pay no rent and that is what this jerk of a landlord deserves. I hope the Bay View finds a new location that proves to be fabulous! Mendocino you are off my vacation spot list. Bye-bye.
#5 Mar 9, 2012
What a terrible, sad, shame. It's difficult to believe that the owner, Mrs. Raymond, really intends that Jim Jones be evicted after 25 years. Perhaps she doesn't fully understand what her agency is doing? As a long-time business and property owner in the town of Mendocino, I cannot visualize any business or business persons making better use of that deck and that location than Jim has done over the years. If he voluntarily was closing that would be one thing. To be forced out of business after 25 years of timely rent payments -- there are no polite words to describe what is being forced upon him. This should NOT be happening.
#6 Mar 9, 2012
What can this property owner be thinking? How can she believe that evicting a loyal tenant for some other unnamed enterprise can do anything other than create ill will towards her and her new tenant? As one of the few businesses in Mendo that has successfully stayed open all these years, Jim Jones should receive an award, not an eviction. This just should not be happening.
#7 Mar 11, 2012
Hello Lois Jean,
I feel a tremendous sadness that all the hard work and investment that has gone into making the Bay View Cafe a success will be taken away abruptly, with no consideration given to the impact on Jim Jone's financial and personal life, to the sudden termination of his employees, and to the loss of all his assets that he and staff have built up for so long.
Of course, we also understand that a property owner has the full legal right to do what he/she wishes with their property. However, I would like to suggest that there is also an unwritten but equally important sense of social responsibility in the decision-making equation, taking into consideration the impact to the lives of all parties involved: Jim and family, the employees, the revenue drawn into the community, and the Mendocino community itself. At the very least, giving 45 days notice to put Jim's affairs in order must certainly be seen as unusually harsh and unreasonable. We hope you will seriously re-consider your decision!
Thanks for taking the time to read this letter.
Matthew Miksak
#8 Mar 13, 2012
Jim Jones and the Bay View Cafe have been a major part of our community for all these years and a favorite of many tourists. It would be an absolute shame to lose them. I cannot believe LoisJean realizes what this will mean to the community and Jim and his staff. I know she is a kind and caring person and must be receiving erroneous information and/or shoddy advise.
Please, LoisJean, reconsider this eviction. Don't continue this heartless and ill advised action.
Not to mention, that it will most likely just add another empty store space in Mendocino. There aren't many businesses standing in line to rent space these days.
#9 Mar 13, 2012
Ahhhh yes, the Raymonds.....Greed pure and simple.
Never mind about the people who pour their souls into making a business a success or the people who now are without jobs....they don't matter. How much do you people really need?
You are a digrace to the human race...I left because of the greed from land owners but be reminded of the greed of Maureen and Mivhorney...what goes around eventually DOES come back around.
United States
#10 Mar 13, 2012
Lois Jean, i cannot imagine that you know what is going on. I sincerely hope that you read all of these messages, and talk to your advisor. Bay View has been a staple in the community for a very long time, and there are very many people who depend upon working there for their livelihoods.
Please reconsider your decision. Particularly in this economy, a long term tenant of sterling character, is a rare thing to have.
#11 Mar 14, 2012
I was wondering how much money has been spent by the tenant making improvements to the property at no expense to the owner over the past 25 years. This has been done purely to get more money out of the property. You can rest assured that this building is already rented/leased at considerably more. The rents in Mendocino are completely insane, for lack of a better word. I don't see how they can evict on such short notice. Obviously he had a month to month and they probably think they are doing him a favor by giving him an extra 15 days. Time for him to lawyer up. It's just business now. Who cares who's feelings get hurt. Time to make the owners and property managers lives miserable. This will most likely make for some comments in the isles of Mendosa's.(No comment on their prices.) I could go on and on about this. After all, I still have over 2900 characters left. But really, whats the point? Lifes just a big game, you need money to play. The person with the most money wins.......period. There's a special place for people like this, but hear it gets a little hot.
#12 Mar 14, 2012
Isn't it illegal to evict a business if they've been paying their rent? What about renters rights?
#13 Mar 14, 2012
This would only be the case with a current contract or lease. The problem with business leases is that they run for many years and it's tempting to allow them to go to month-to-month during recessionary times. If the lease has reached its' end date the property owner has no obligation to renew. If that was the case it's hard to believe both parties in this matter were not in talks.
I hope a new location can be found at a reasonable rate.
#14 Mar 14, 2012
This sucks
#16 Mar 16, 2012
I add my voice to those expressing disbelief and amazement that this could happen. It is just unbelievable. The Bayview has been "the place" for us for the past 25 years: first as tourists, making the incredible discovery of a place (the only place) with a great view, good food, fair prices and excellent service; then as residents where we take all of our family and guests and refer all of the "visitors" we see on the streets who ask, "Where can I get a bite to eat?" We are very hopeful that the owner will be reached through the community outpouring of concern. I do not like the tactic of threatening to boycott anything in the future but it should be enough said that I will not be happy IF the Bayview is not in it's usual place next month. All will NOT be right with the world.
#17 Mar 16, 2012
Maybe legal, but it is not ethical. Why would anyone else think of renting, from this CAH. Jim , need help moving? We will drive from Merced. Let us know. A good attorney may have suggested a better way of handling this, so as not to impact the business, the community, and our economy.
#19 Mar 17, 2012
Dearest Loisjean,
I was completely surprised and shocked to hear that you do not
want to renew our lease. I am besides myself with emotion and sadness..
I have grown up here and have always had the deepest respect for you. I
have always looked up to you, from the first time I met you. You are so
kind and good-hearted and I truly loved seeing you and Bob come in for
breakfast after your bike rides around town. I was deeply saddened by
his loss and I am sorry that I never expressed that to you before. He
was such a wonderful man and seeing you guys together always made me
smile and my heart sing. I always hoped to find a love like that. I
would also like to say Congratulations on your recent marriage as well,
that is fantastic and I am very happy for you.
Since I was 7 years old the Bay View has been my entire life. I
grew up here in this place and was hoping that my one year old son,
Ryley, would be able to grow up here as well; as well as my 6 year old
niece Isabelle. Since he was born he has spent everyday down here and he
loves being able to come here. I am beyond sorry for the flood happening
and would have done anything I could to have prevented it. Unfortunately
accidents do happen. Just know that we are so so so sorry for what
happened and have made sure that we do everything now to ensure that
nothing like that would ever happen again. This business is my life and
I was hoping that I would be able to take over the business from my
father, it has always been part of my plan in life and the thought of
that not happening now breaks my heart. It is who I am, it is who our
family is. The Bay View has been a part of everything good in my life
for the past 26 years, I do not know what I would do without it.
I really really hope that you will reconsider and negotiate some
sort of new lease or agreement. Whether it be a very short lease or just
letting us stay 6 more months in order to let us both move on and upward
in a timely fashion. I am willing to do anything I possibly can to make
this happen. Please please let me know what I can do to change your mind
and continue this business partnership that was 26 years in the making.
We are willing to do whatever we can to make this happen. The Bay View
is more important to me and my family then I could ever really put into
words and try to express. Without it in our lives, it would be
completely devastating to us all. Some of our employees have been with
us for 20 years and they have become extended family that we love and
cherish also. I truly hope I have not overstepped my bounds by writing
this letter, but I wanted to you to know how I feel and that I would
really do anything in my power to try and get you to reconsider. I
promise that if you do, you will not regret it.
#20 Mar 18, 2012
May I suggest the Mendocino Beacon take a more active role in this story. The action of not allowing Bay View to continue to operate at it's present location by one individual, will have more effect on this town than the dimensions or color of a sign debated by the Mendocino Historical Review Board. There have been no interviews with the owner, property manager, or attorney. The outpouring of grassroots support for this business vs the desires one landlord, a past resident of Mendocino who no longer resides here, makes for interesting drama. Other than a long term lease, what rights to business owners have. The implications of this story should be explored.
#21 Mar 24, 2012
We at Twist have been in business down the street from the Bay View for over a decade and have sent countless families to this restaurant when they ask "Where can we get breakfast in Mendocino?" or "Where can we go for a reasonably priced lunch?" The Bay View has filled this need for an affordable meal with a priceless view. Many thanks to Jim and his family for their years of hard work. The optimist in me hopes there is still a chance the property owner will change her mind. I heard a rumor about the large amount of $ the Bay View pays in rent. Some quick calculations indicate that it is likely that over the course of their tenancy the Bay View has paid for this building and then some with its monthly rental payments. What an injustice to be evicted after such an outpouring of $ and hard work. I encourage the landowner to open her heart, read these comments and do the "right thing".
#22 Jun 11, 2012
The sad thing is... it is still sitting empty, with no new tenant. I too was devastated to find my favorite place of more than 20 years to be GONE!:(
I did hear they are trying to come back somewhere else, who knows when or where though.
