Making a paste out of the food you are eating then adding it on top of the remainder main food can make for a usually pretty dish with nice texture variance. For example adding fresh tomato paste or puree on top of slices of tomato. Garnishing with a sprig of parsley freshens the the other food and makes the food more appetizing.
that fit in that category of low cal and low fat. Any ideas? I've looked online.|||I have two youtube videos. One is on a chicken dish another on a salmon dish.

Simply season with salt and white peeper with a little amount of butter. When the rabi is done cooking, drain Through a colander into a bowl (juices go into the bowl) to warm the bowl, then empty liquid, add butter and rabi. Season accordingly. It will remain hot|||I would steam or boil small cubes of it until tender, drain and then add garlic, coarse ground pepper and a little seasoning salt. It is similar to Rutabagas and those are the ultimate comfort food and worth the hassle it is to chop them up.|||Handling: If the kohlrabi leaves are still attached to the bulb, trim them and store separately. If the leaves are in good shape - firm and green - they can be cooked but will need to be used within a couple of days. The bulbs should be stored, unwashed, in a plastic bag. They will hold for about a week in the refrigerator. Smaller kohlrabi are the sweetest and most tender. Bulbs much bigger than the size of a tennis ball won't be as tasty and often have a pithy flesh.
Simple Preparation: Tender, young kohlrabi is delicious eaten raw. Peel the outer skin with a paring knife. Slice, dice, or grate, and add to salads. Use on raw vegetable platters or serve with a creamy dip. Substitute in recipes calling for radishes. Grated kohlrabi can be added to slaw, but lightly salt it first and let stand for several minutes. Squeeze to remove any excess water before adding dressing. Kohlrabi can also be steamed or boiled. For this preparation don't peel until after they are cooked. Steam or boil until bulbs are tender, peel skin, and season with butter, salt, and pepper, a cheese sauce, or just enjoy plain.
If the leaves attached to the kohlrabi bulb are fresh and green, they can be enjoyed as a cooked green. Wash the leaves and remove the ribs. Blanch in boiling water until just wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and squeeze excess water from leaves. Chop leaves, then saute in a little olive oil or butter. Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of vinegar or squeeze of fresh lemon juice.|||what is KOHLRABI?

* 1 cup uncooked glutinous white rice (sushi rice)

* 1 pinch salt
* 4 sheets nori (dry seaweed)
* 1/2 cucumber, sliced into thin strips
* 1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced

Use your hands to spread the rice evenly onto the sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch of seaweed empty at the bottom. Arrange strips of cucumber and avocado across the center of the rice. Lift the mat and roll over the vegetables once and press down. Unroll, then roll again towards the exposed end of the seaweed sheet to make a long roll.

|||Okay I will check back and see, and if I don't know I will delete my answer, don't worry this is not for point gaming.
What do you mean by raw? As in fruits and veggies? Or grains? Or uncooked, healthy cereals mixed with other stuff like fruits and veggies?
Please, I will come back and check.
Just checked again after something reminded me of it. Okay, grains are good. There are plenty of grains besides wheat that are pretty healthy. I have a website about it. I, personally, love dried cherries, so you can put some grains and dried fruits into a bowl of grains. There are a few healthy cereals like cheerios and rice chex that you might like that you can put in a bowl. And there are nuts that are really tasty such as pecans, walnuts, um . . . there might be others that you like, too. Cashews are tasty, even lightly salted cashews. I am allergic so I didn't mention it right away. You could put some of those in. Make sure to only put a little cereal in if you even want to put any cereal in as they are loaded with carbs. I don't have any special mixes to tell you about. Just put in a lot of grains, throw in a little dried or fresh fruit, maybe some carrots or something, a handful or half a handful of cereal, and some nuts. It doesn't always have to be all together. You could go without the nuts or grains or something else.
You would need to provide an example of a recipe in order to get some advice.|||Just omit it...or use tomato or eggplant|||Apple, cucumber,leek.|||I would have to say egg plant or apples too, just because of the coloring, your dish will look great.|||Why would you want to replace it??

So I just wanted simple recipes that do not require too much time or fancy equipment, thanks|||Hi Soy Iquana
Check out the link below - most the recipes that are on there only require a food processor or just your normal old blender.
Once you get into a raw food diet you may want to consider a dehydrator - I found I really wanted a 'bread' type thing and this was the only way to make it.
As for a Vitamix - they are great but not essential. I have a $20 coffee grinder that I use to grind my flaxseeds and nuts and seeds when I wat to.
I've heard a lot of raw food recipes are high in fat because they have a lot of nuts.

One of my friends had a website made by them and they made it to his exact specification.|||Your idea is great but your website names don't tell that you are advertising restaurants. I understand that you will want to expand to hotels and other properties, but what you are now suggesting is not something I would think of to search on to find more details on a restaurant.

Each website should deal with it's own niche. So when ready to expand, set up a new URL for the hotels.
Good luck!|||Hi,
I have a lot of experience marketing small companies online (I have 3 companies). One of the best ways is to sign up at business directories and protals. These are basically listings of businesses (simliar to the phone book). The advantage is that these portals usually get a lot of traffic and they're ranked high on Google because of all the quality links they contain.
My favorite portal is called Directory Exclusive. I signed up a few weeks ago because they're giving a away a free business card holder when a person enter's their company info. I received it in the mail 3 days ago =)
I don't know if they still have that promotion, but you can try to get the free card holder here:

I am working on a PBS style talk show where the topic is food, mostly high end restaurants in trendy places like NYC and LA, and gourmet recipes. I would like to change things up a little and relate to a younger, less prestigious audience, while still keep the credibility of the chefs involved.
So far some of my ideas for new segments include: a night life/drink special; meal on a budget daily recipe (think typical morning shows); preparing exotic food from foreign countries, and restaurant guides to areas of Manhattan and other large cities....What do you think? What would you, the auidience like to see on this type of show? Any ideas?
Also keep in mind the visual quality is limited/we do not have the resources for a Food Network-like show.
Thank You.|||Chef of the Week -- highlight her/him and their achievements, feature a recipe from them.
Nutrition Tips -- maybe a "nutrient of the week" or have a dietitian on to break down the confusion about anti-oxidants, trans-fats, phytoestrogens, that sort of thing. Maybe call it a "Nutrition Bite" (byte?)
Entertaining tips -- how to set up a buffet for easy service, when to hire a bartender and waitstaff for a home party (and where to find them), latest table decor ideas, party favors: in or out?, music for a dinner party|||cooking on a budget, you know, how to be able to create terrific foods for not a lot of money.|||Fast and fabulous meals. When preparing exotic foods, try to keep it simpler for at-home chefs who may be short on time and ability.|||I agree on the comfort food also sushi would be a fun segment to watch... Try a segment on seafood!! so many people are scared to try some kinds like crawfish and all that in the south we have a crawfish boils and they are big during this time of the year..i like the exotic food idea thats a good one. I would like to see a casserole show too.. i'm always looking for a good casserole to make along with dessert|||Meal on a budget and also smaller-scale meals would be great ideas.
Maybe a lesson on how to use spices other than the mainstream salt, pepper, garlic, and Lawry's that everyone has in their kitchen? A lot of people are afraid to try "exotic-sounding" spices like coriander or tarragon because they're not sure how to use them.|||Looking for something trendy and relevant? Try a focus on what young people are actually into like the vegetarian/vegan/raw consciousness that is so hot and relevant right now with animal rights, global warming and the economy being such important issues for young people today..You can feature vegetarian chefs, authors, politicians (Dennis Kucinich, D Ohio) and concerned people whose consciousness and concerns have brought them to this way of life.

Comfort foods are VERY popular right now, both for young and old.|||If you are looking at younger viewers as a market think about the marketability.

Zagat restaurant guides publish ratings of restaurants for many large cities around the world. The review for each restaurant gives a verbal summary as well as a 0- to 30-point rating of the quality of food, d茅cor, service and the cost of a dinner with one drink and tip. For Italian restaurants in London in 2007, the food ratings had a mean of 27.60 and standard deviation of 2.70. The cost of a dinner had a mean of $81.62 and standard deviation of $17.59. The equation that predicts the cost of a dinner using the rating of the quality of food is yhat = 6.99 + 6.2x. The correlation between these two variables is 0.63. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the slope?
A. A one unit increase in price results in a 6.2 unit increase in the average rating
B. A one unit increase in rating results in 6.2 unit increase in the average price
C. For restaurants with a rating of 0, the average price of the meal is $6.20
D. A one unit increase in rating results in a 6.99 unit increase in the price
E. None of these
Show work and answer please. *Best answer receives 5 extra bonus points!|||A one unit increase in rating results in 6.2 unit increase in the average price
In the regression equation yhat = a+bx, as x increases by 1 unit, yhat increases by 'b' units.
a=6.99
b=6.2
Here, cost = average price|||Have a look at the notable Glass Theater.

I haven't done this in a very long time....but I used to hang out in the Oak Lawn area....and go to some of the bars, in the area...such as jr's, tmc (Throckmorton Mining Company), Moby Dick, the Dallas Eagle, and maybe a few other bars.
Mainly, though, I went to JR's.
But like I said earlier, I haven't gone back to these bars (in fact, the entire area)...for a very long time.
Anyway, I was just wondering if any of these bars are still around....especially jr's and the Dallas Eagle.
I've checked them out on the net....using different
phone directories and bar/restaurant guides...and they've
helped, sort of. But I don't know how up-to-date their
information is.
They probably are pretty much up-to-date....but I
just wanted to make sure.
If you have any info on this, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

I realize that this question really does not belong in France Travel, but I have asked in other places and have never received anything close to a satisfactory answer. This is Central Florida, USA. Has become an area well known for theme parks and now has more than 2 million inhabitants. There are several restaurant guides. One is Urban Spoon. They list 450 Italian restaurants in the area; 715 pizza places; 606 hamburger joints; 359 Mexican and Tex mex: 177 for sushi; 56 Thai; and 44 from Vietnam. I know of maybe two or three first class French restaurants; one excellent French cafe and the two French restaurants at Epcot (Disney World) The two at Disney are strictly for the tourists and in order to visit either, you must pay the park admission of $90 per person. Therefore, my question is - WHY? Where are the French .restaurants? Is it the type of food - the preparation - the size of portions. I do not know. I believe you will find similar situations in just about every USA city, possibly with the exception of New York, New Orleans and San Francisco. Any ideas?|||This is such a good question. I have pondered your very question for years.
Americans want cheap and abundant. The French pride themselves on using only the highest-quality, freshest ingredients, and this will not be cheap, and if you want heaps of food flopping over the plate, sorry, this is not how it's done in French restaurants. The French want their food to taste as good as possible, and they're willing to pay for it. This means hormone-free meat, unpasteurized dairy products, local produce, and most importantly, ingredients like butter and chocolate made by true "artistes", not by big soulless factories. To get the highest quality in a restaurant in America, Americans will have to pay for it, and they don't want to do that, especially if they don't see a huge amount of food on the plate.
In one of his books, Bill Bryson tells the story of a local Mexican restaurant that was always full, and very popular. A branch of a big chain of Tex Mex restaurants opened nearby, selling cheaper meals. Within months the local restaurant closed, and this fact was lamented by most in town, as most agreed the quality of the food was better, but they had mostly decided where to eat based on cost.|||there are not many french immigrants, and the ones that do come do so as professionals.however there are many many italian immigrants. also unlike french, asian immigrants tend to stay together. they meet thorugh things like thai temples (wats) or korean baptist churches. however french people dont really associate themselves in that way.I think most french immigrants move to Quebec not the US so they can be with other people who share their language and even culture to an extent.|||To Amelia's answer, I would add that France has a serious image problem in this country. Though there are of course Francophiles here - you're presumably one of them - as well as people who are neutral about France and all things French, I find that there are also many people here who view France with suspicion and disdain at best, outright contempt bordering on hatred at worst. I won't attempt to quantify this phenomenon by venturing a percentage of the population or anything; suffice it to say I find it to be depressingly common. I'm sure you've heard and/or personally witnessed France-bashing yourself: "the French are rude, pretentious, unkempt, anti-American, antisemitic, effeminate cowards with delusions of grandeur", yadayadayada. This is of course based on a highly politicized and skewed view of history, combined with caricatures that seem to take on a life of their own. I find that such, um, "thinking" is chiefly perpetrated by people who've neither set foot in France nor met anyone from there. Then of course there are people who don't necessarily harbor any ill-will, but who falsely assume that French food is inherently pricey; French culture inherently intimidating and inaccessible.
While I'm certainly not suggesting that this fully explains the dearth of French restaurants in your area (and elsewhere), I'd say it's a significant mitigating factor.
ok i know loads of girls say they like nice guys but they are just trying to be politically correct because they know they're supposed to, and most of the guys who say girls like nice guys are only saying that because they've heard girls say it. for the sake of all women i am just going to say it: we do not like nice guys! please don't be a nice guy, it is such a turn off, i totally hate it. don't be a jerk but just find some middle ground ok? like one guy i was dating asked me "permission" to change his display name on myspace are you for real? don't ask for permission to do that what do i care i'm not your guardian i'm your GIRLFRIEND! don't call me every 24 hours to "see how i'm doing", don't get me flowers every single date, don't ask me what i want to do, don't! i dont like it or want it. i want a man who will take the lead and take me on a ride (NOT a sexual thing! i mean like an emotional ride)! who will allow me to just sit in the passenger's seat and experience (and not shout out directions at every minute). who will order for me at restaurants, guide me through life, make the important decisions, make the plans, let me anticipate his calls by not having them at consistent times, make me wonder about him like all the girls in the romance novels *sigh*. i know i know all these things are typically frowned upon but for the sake of women everywhere PLEASE there are way too many nice guys, and if most women would me more upfront about what we really want this would not be a problem!! i dont want a nice guy i want a real one.

Hi, Can anyone help, I was tested for Celiac Disease last week and thankfully the test came back normal, but the Doctor Diagnosed me with I.B.S, and said that I had a sensitivity to Gluten and should cut it out of my diet.
After spending all night on the Gluten free web sites like Gluten free mall, etc, I find that I am now feeling very overwhelmed by the whole situation, and am starting to feel a little depressed about all the changes and choices.
Can anyone who has gone through this steer me in the right direction please. I seen a book called Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide by Dr. Mara Matison & Mr. Dainis Matison, and another restaurant guide by Triumph Dining gluten free.
Are these good books and does anyone know of anymore that can be helpful?
Does anyone know of any web sites that offer a big variety of gluten free products all in one place?
Please Please Help!!!|||Hey, it's not about your eyes, it's about your mouth! Reading is fine, but it really doesn't do much besides make you feel overwhelmed, as you found out.
Cut out some glutens for awhile and see what happens. The obvious ones are the breads and wheat flour products like pasta. Take it easy, and start one step at a time. If you are eating a lot of gluten now, reducing it should help, and if it does, you will be motivated to try more substitutes. First, just find out if cutting out breads and wheats helps you.|||I'm confused. There's only one answer so far, which doesn't say anything about losing weight. Also this is pretty much the same question as i've seen elsewhere.
i've been vegetarian for 5 months and have done all my research about the things i have to be careful about and vegetarianism is extremely health if you do it right and i have, i don't live off of french fries and coke and i eat lots of veggies fruits and i've even looked in the phone book at the restaurant guide and found all these places i can eat out at and highlighted the food that i can order, i've planned it out very well, and all i'm looking for is some thumbs up and "good job" even if the person doesn't believe in it, i just am tired of ppl being mean when they know nothing about being vegetarian, my new bf's mom wasn't in my face like my last bf, but she looked troubled and said "Oh honey, you're gonna be really ill if you eat like that" she's an older woman and just the fact that she said that tells me she knows nothing about what i'm doing cuz if she did she wouldn't have said that, i didn't say anything, i learned my lesson last time with my ex's parents, but it's just troubling that people aren't very well informed about the health benefits of being vegetarism...i'm the vegetarian that does it for the health, not the murder of animals, i know that sounds horrible and i love animals, but i don't wanna be all stressed out cuz i'm worried about every little piece of food i put in my mouth, ya know...and i'm writing this in a calm tone btw...i'm really looking for some help, i get really bothered that people will tell me i'm gonna be sick and i won't get the nutrition from a vegetarian diet when they know nothing about it. If they had at least looked it up and saw some benefits. and it's not even the fact that they aren't vegetarians, because i know that's personal choice and i don't wanna intrude on that, but when i do all my research and am aware of the pros and CONS of vegetarianism (B12 and calcium and iron defiancy, solution: drink soy milk or eat cheese, ether eat lots of veggies with iron or if you're anemic take a supplement, and drink/eat foods that are fortified with B12, problem solved, vegetarianism can be healthy if you do it right) But when i'm proud of myself for being healthy and they start firing off these myths that aren't true and talk to me like i don't know what i'm talking about, i get mad and i have a temper when ignorant ppl treat me that way without a reason or logic, and i blow up, but i'm trying to work on my people skills cuz i don't want people to think that's how all vegetarians are like, we are nice people but it hurts my feelings and irritates me when i know what i'm talking about and it's not like i'm bias, i looked at the Cons of doing this, but there's so much negativity, and i just want some tips from both vegs and non vegs, like for example, i'm open and willing to learn what really bugs you about vegetarians, i want to learn so i don't do that, and veg's tell me how you over came this struggle. i'm being very calm and i just really wanna learn so i don't alilenate myself, thank you|||Well it depends who is doing the asking.
In the case of a bf's mom, when she says "oh honey you're gonna get sick," just say you take multivitamins. That's not someone I'd argue the point with or someone where it's appropriate to teach her something about nutrition.
In the case of a friend or a peer though, just rattle off some facts about vegetarianism they wouldn't know. You can say it in a nice way if you really want like, "well actually you can get more than enough B12 with _____" or "I get my iron from _______"
If the friend or peer keeps pressing the point beyond that, then it's worth getting into an argument about if you really want to...but in that case they'd be the ones who antagonized YOU, not the other way around.|||Please do YOUR research.

Mother seeks $100 million in son鈥檚 death
By Phil Ray, pray@altoonamirror.com
HOLLIDAYSBURG 鈥?The mother of a man killed in a triple homicide last year plans to sue the federal government for $100 million, court documents state.
Sandra Miller of Altoona is the mother of Stephen Heiss, who died Aug. 28, 2005.
Miguel Padilla was convicted and received death sentences this month for killing Alfred Mignogna, owner of the United Veterans Association building; Fredrick Rickabaugh Sr., UVA doorman; and Heiss, a patron.
The jury wasn鈥檛 told that Padilla is an illegal alien.
The civil lawsuit notice, filed by attorney Art Cohen of Hollidaysburg, blames the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for allowing Padilla to remain in the United States.
Padilla, 27, came to America as a young boy with his mother and brothers to escape an alcoholic father.
He graduated from Penn Cambria High School but never became a U.S. citizen.
He was involved in a stabbing incident in which the victim was his then-father-in-law.
ICE never took Padilla into custody or attempted to deport him.
U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-9th District, spoke of the case on the House floor, saying ICE did nothing about Padilla.
Most of the money sought is for punitive damages because the government did not take any action that could have prevented the homicides.
An attorney with ICE declined comment Wednesday. ICE has asked Cohen to provide it with more details concerning the Padilla case.|||This is great news....I asked a question awhile back if people thought victims of an illegal should be able to sue the Gov. the majority said yes. I wish more would start suing!! I hope she wins and I want to stay on top of this to see how it works out.
OH and to answer the Q, yes it is a preventable death. Our gov. and greedy business owners have American blood on their hands, not as much as the actual perpetrator, but they do have some.
Another Great post seals!! thanx for this one!!
~add on~ If a moron can sue McDonalds (for her own idiocy) AND actually friggin wins, then I am sure this mother has a case.|||yes. thats funny because a girl asked a question yesterday about whether she could sue the government for her father being killed by an illegal. i hope she sees this.|||Just put a bullet in his brain.|||I don't know if you could relagate murder to the fact that he's an illegal allien. I'm sure percentage wise the numbers are overly favoring Legal citizens as committing 99.999999% of the murders even though illegal alliens may make up 1% of the population.
Yeah if he wasn't here those people wouldn't have gotten murdered. Yes he shoud've been deported. However I think that the illegal allien problem is not the cause of violent crime in the U.S.
It's poverty and greed.|||Yes, and I hope she wins her lawsuit.|||All illegals should have to apply for citizenship. What they are doing is illegal, thus the name!|||If Immigration laws were actually enforced, then the death could have been prevented. I hope she wins her lawsuit, everything that she is asking for, plus another $100 million. Maybe a win in court like that will actually get the government to do their jobs and protect the boarder better.|||Shouldn't we be putting our energies into *these* preventable deaths?
American Deaths:
Since war began (3/19/03):2708
Iraqi civilian deaths: 43546|||Another useless death - the cop in Houston...the police officers in Houston are planning a rally in Houston at the city hall reflecting pool on Tuesday, 10/3 from 11 til 1 to drum up support for the lack of pubic safety, homeland Secutiry & law enforcement...their argument is that the don't ask, don't tell policy concerning illegals of the Houston PD is a detrement to public safety. I don't live near houston but if i did i would be there....instead I guess I'll just have to email the city of houston to show my support.....Can/Will all of you do the same? http:\\www.houstontx.gov|||Yeah another person just trying to get some easy cash.Though if she wins the courts will be overflowing with people who claim that ex convicts killed someone in their family because they didn't keep them in jail.In order for her to win she will have to prove that in reality if this person had been deported that her family member would have still been alive.And since when is Ice obligated to check the legal status if every person arrested?Perhaps if someone had reported him to Ice as being an illegal then yes they could say Ice did nothing otherwise they cannot stop every single person and ask them for legal status without at least have a strong reason for it.Like if they suspect a company is hiring illegals.Its like someone stopping you on the street and asking what your religion or sexual preference is.But yet again maybe it will work but highly doubt it.
If I want to set up a restaurant guide/review business such as a website, can I get a tax deduction on my meals for restaurants that I review?
Obviously each country is different. I'm referring to AUSTRALIA. Thanks.|||Tax deductions are available to be offset against income earned from a particular activity. If all of your income came from restaurant reviews, you would have a case but not otherwise.|||I think because that this is your business, it is your job. this can be a tax deduction, just as tools are for a tradesman. as long as it is just what you do for jobs, one meal for one person.

I found a Brazilian restaurant guide www.findbrazilianfood.com! Still has a few restaurants, but every week has new entries!|||It's great! Many people don't know where found brazilian food but this website it's a perfect guide for this! It's in my bookmarks!|||Thank you
Sounds like I am getting hungry, again
I think I understand but I thought I'd ask here. (I am not overweight but it's good to try to eat healthy and cut out junk etc.) I did 20min. on a treadmill and burned 100 calories (1 pack of 100 calorie Doritos!) So I jumped on the internet to research restauraunt food. Take Breadsticks from Pizza hut it says 150 calories so are items such as that,pizza,chips etc. per piece/slice? If so then a 5 pack of Breadsticks means 5X150=750 Calories so you just ate 750 calories correct? (Most restaurant guides say serves X grams. Half a Pzone is a serving so a whole Pzone is 1,260 Calories!!! IT TOOK 20MIN. to burn 100 CALORIES!!!!! Thanks for your help. :-)|||do realize that you burn calories doing average things such as eating, sleeping, walking, and driving. And if you resort to lower calorie foods, it would take less time to burn them off.

I think she's great and has put up an AWESOME site, especially for Weight Watchers people. The restaurant guides and points are soo comprehensive! www.dwlz.com
Hungry-girl.com is also great! She has fantasic recipes, low-cal and they taste phenominal.
I think I'll share these sites at my next Weight Watchers meeting!|||I love DWLZ! She must put a ton of work into it, and the restaurant listings even include Canadian ones. Love it. I'm sure the people at your meeting will appreciate the tip!|||OK, shameless plug here. My wife has been doing WW for about 2 years now and Dotti's site was recommended to her at her meetings. There is tons of information there but in a difficult to navigate format (for my wife anyway). I am in the process of making a site similar to Dotti's but hopefully a little easier to use. I've been putting it together for a few months but it is still a work in progress. Takes about 3-6 hours per restaurant to get it formatted properly. Check it out and let me know what you think!! Feel free to let others know if you like what you see.
I will have to check out Hungry-Girl, haven't heard of that one. Thanks and good luck doing WW (wife lost 50 lbs)!

I'm an American going to Paris for the first time. Too often, restaurant guides tend to emphasize the ultra-luxurious and exotic rather than simple meals done well. I would appreaciate any suggestions .|||Don't be concerned. Almost any cafe or bistro will have simple "cuisine bourgeois"
Despite the impression given by some guidebooks not everyone in Paris is constantly eating in Michelin 3 star restaurants and chowing down exotic food laden with truffles and caviar.

I saw this one program that had these hand things and guides on how to make certain dishes and restaurant guides and stuff and then of course there's neutrosystem and Jenny Craig! What's the best?? Has anyone lost large amounts of weight on any of these systems?? How much did you lose and how fast?? Please help!!!! Thanks so much!!!|||Hello Sparkles,
If you are looking for best weight loss systems you have a strict diet to follow like what i have done. I was 152 pounds before I started planning to loss weight. Following the strict diets and exercises given to me I've lost 60 pounds.
I always make sure to eat at least some healthy fats in most of my meals. Eating enough healthy fats is very important for maintaining proper fat burning and muscle building hormone levels in my body. Adequate healthy fats in my diet also helps in keeping my appetite under control. My gym instructor told me that burning to much fat and eating less of it, is not good. So if you aim to burn fats/calories there must be a balance. I also eat a high quality protein source with each meal and snack that I eat. Quality proteins from grass-fed meats, grass-fed raw dairy, and even from plant sources such as nuts and beans provides good appetite suppression so I can control my calorie intake easier.
And regarding with the exercises I have done. I jog ever morning, do bicycle crunches that really helps my stomach work. Doing arms and legs exercise at the same time I get enhanced work in my stomach muscles, and by twisting I get increased work in my oblique muscles. All parts of my stomach are worked with this one exercise. It really helps a lot in getting rid of my belly fats.
Hope that helps. If there is anything more I can do for you just drop me a line.|||I would recomend herbal magic! its all natural i use to work at one in my town ive seen wonderful results, my sister did it and lost 75 pounds in 4 months ive seen what it can do, there are a few catches though it is fairly pricey but id say its worth it.. its more of a lifestyle change you have to be really commited inorder to succeed.. if you have good will power and if you really wanna do it you can also going off the pills ive seen alot of people gain there wait back but its only because they stopped eating healthy.. you cant do it and then go back to eating junk (not saying you do) but diet is important if you want to stay healthy and keep fit... just a suggestion|||Just burn more calories then you consume.

Hi!...two of my friends from Australia are coming to visit me at the end of November and I am sooo thrilled about it. When i pick them up from the airport i want to give them each a small gift box with a bunch of things i think they will need or might be able to use as they tour around New York City. The ideas i have right now are: a metrocard, a map of the city, a subway map of the city, and a restaurant guide. I don't want it to be too expensive but i would like the box to get them excited about thier visit and have substantial, useful infromation. Thanks for your help!|||Also if you go to the Empire State Building there's a visitor information kind of booth set up where you can just pick up free pamphlets of different sights to see or tours that they can take. If anything, it'll be some nice things to take back home as souvenirs! Oh and a nice gift I like to buy for friends are those mini taxicab magnets.|||I think that what you have is perfect. Maybe also include the current Time Out New York to give them ideas of things to do. I wouldn't worry about including other food or gifts in the package. Half the fun of visiting a new city is taking in all the sights, visiting restaurants, and doing your own souvenirs shopping. If you give them a place to stay, as well as tips and tools for getting around, that's more than enough.|||I think you're on the right track. A MetroCard is a good idea, along with a subway map (very handy). Maybe you can highlight your favorite places in the restaurant guide they might like. There are booths in tourist areas like City Hall that give out brochures for various sites around the city, maybe you can collect a bunch of those and include them. You might also think about including some New York delicacies - a salami from Katz's, or a bottle or two of Manhattan Special coffee soda for a bit of old-time New York flavor.

I have a major project on France (every student gets a different country) and one of the things we have to find are famous restaurants and famous wineries.
I'm really having trouble finding some wineries because so far I found NONE and on google I am so confused because every thing's in French (duh, I read the translated versions but nothing found).
I wasn't sure to put this one as one of the famous restaurants or in the famous wineries because the Chief is all about wine.
thanks!|||you should add a few first growth bordeaux's to the winery list - there's 5 of them:
chateau mouton rothschild
chateau latour
chateau margaux
chateau haut-brion
chateau lafite rothschild
also consider domain romanee conti from burgundy - $3000+ wines!|||The following are the only 3 star rated restaurants in Paris (3 stars is the highest for Michelin, and Michelin is the best source for restaurant rankings in Europe)
* Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athenee
* L'Ambroisie
* Arpege
* Astrance
* Le Grand Vefour
* Guy Savoy
* Ledoyen
* Le Meurice
* Pierre Gagnaire
* Pre Catelan
In terms of Wineries,
Chateau D'Yquem would be a good choice
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2tea鈥?/a>
Mo毛t & Chandon would also be a good choice. They are most famous for making Dom Perignon Champagne.

You could always go to a wine store with an adult and ask them which ones are famous so you can look it up for your project|||I thought there was a famous region in france for the kind of wine they made- burgundy?

I've had nothing but mediocre meals during my visits to Estes. Have you had a good meal at a restaurant there? If so, where? I'm only interested in personal or word-of-mouth recommendations -- no search results from restaurant guides, please.|||My husband and I visit Estes several times a year and we like good food. The best place we've been to is Twin Owls Steakhouse. Excellent food in a casually elegant atmosphere. Beef and game are their specialities. Their elk loin is to die for! A meal for two with wine will be around $100, well worth it.
Another nice place is The Gallery which specializes in fresh fish flown in from the Pacific. Lots of interesting recipes, definitely not your run-of-the-mill fishhouse.
My favorite Italian place is Sweet Basilico. It's very small, about 15 tables and you may have to wait for a table, but it's worth the wait! Excellent, fresh Italian at very reasonable prices. Dunraven Inn is also good for Italian. I love their Alfredo dishes - very rich!
I believe that if you try any of these places, you'll change your opinion of mediocre meals in Estes!|||We ate at a restaurant where you cook your own steak. It was really good. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it.

I'm just curious how Prolific searches are for restaurants on the internet. When you want to find a new spot because you are bored of your usual Favorites, do you Research the Internet to find a new place to dine and if so what restaurant guides do you use or do you just randomly search? Also, which Restaurant Guide, if any, do you think is the best and why?|||LA Weekly is a good place to start...online or the paper itself.
Zagat guide. ||| I base my research on word of mouth. If one of my friends has tried a new restaurant and like it they will tell me about with rave reviews. Now they have tried a NEW restaurant and did not like they will tell me to stay away. Second thing read the newspaper food critic reviews of the place and if you like what you read then go check it out.|||I normally go by what I see as a good review in the local daily newspaper and weekly entertainment papres which both give a new review every week and give a synopsis of the 10 best they have reviewed recently.
I have a favorite Thai restaurant and never get bored of that one because of friendly family atmosphere and good value.
Other source: word of mouth from friends and co-workers.
Our city has an Internet website from the local Health Board which gives the results of recent inspection visits. Normally health issues not a problem in our restaurants but I check it out if I drive by a restaurant that looks interesting and haven't heard about it.
I mainly look for family style, inexpensive eateries that give good value for the money - these are not usually found on internet Restaurant Guides.
EDMONTON, Canada|||Try this web site i promise you it will have everything you need.www.Opentable.com|||This is a great way to find a good restaurant and spend less money too.
Type in the zip code, pick a restaurant, and save. You can refine your search by distance, type of cuisine, or atmosphere. Enjoy.|||www.opentable.com is the way to go. 100%|||Look in the phone book.

What I do is that I will take different routes to destinations, like home or work. If I see a restaurant that is quite busy, I will make a note of it and visit it in the near future. Of course the reasoning is that if enough people like it, there has got to be a reason.

I have a lot of experience marketing small companies online (I have 3 companies). One of the best ways is to sign up at business directories and protals.

Zagat restaurant guides publish ratings of restaurants for many large cities around the world. The review for each restaurant gives a verbal summary as well as a 0- to 30-point rating of the quality of food, d茅cor, service and the cost of a dinner with one drink and tip. For Italian restaurants in London in 2007, the food ratings had a mean of 27.60 and standard deviation of 2.70. The cost of a dinner had a mean of $81.62 and standard deviation of $17.59. The equation that predicts the cost of a dinner using the rating of the quality of food is yhat = 6.99 + 6.2x. The correlation between these two variables is 0.63. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the slope?
A. A one unit increase in price results in a 6.2 unit increase in the average rating
B. A one unit increase in rating results in 6.2 unit increase in the average price
C. For restaurants with a rating of 0, the average price of the meal is $6.20
D. A one unit increase in rating results in a 6.99 unit increase in the price
E. None of these

But like I said earlier, I haven't gone back to these bars (in fact, the entire area)...for a very long time.

I realize that this question really does not belong in France Travel, but I have asked in other places and have never received anything close to a satisfactory answer. This is Central Florida, USA. Has become an area well known for theme parks and now has more than 2 million inhabitants. There are several restaurant guides. One is Urban Spoon. They list 450 Italian restaurants in the area; 715 pizza places; 606 hamburger joints; 359 Mexican and Tex mex: 177 for sushi; 56 Thai; and 44 from Vietnam. I know of maybe two or three first class French restaurants; one excellent French cafe and the two French restaurants at Epcot (Disney World) The two at Disney are strictly for the tourists and in order to visit either, you must pay the park admission of $90 per person. Therefore, my question is - WHY? Where are the French .restaurants? Is it the type of food - the preparation - the size of portions. I do not know. I believe you will find similar situations in just about every USA city, possibly with the exception of New York, New Orleans and San Francisco. Any ideas?|||This is such a good question. I have pondered your very question for years.
Americans want cheap and abundant. The French pride themselves on using only the highest-quality, freshest ingredients, and this will not be cheap, and if you want heaps of food flopping over the plate, sorry, this is not how it's done in French restaurants. The French want their food to taste as good as possible, and they're willing to pay for it. This means hormone-free meat, unpasteurized dairy products, local produce, and most importantly, ingredients like butter and chocolate made by true "artistes", not by big soulless factories. To get the highest quality in a restaurant in America, Americans will have to pay for it, and they don't want to do that, especially if they don't see a huge amount of food on the plate.
In one of his books, Bill Bryson tells the story of a local Mexican restaurant that was always full, and very popular. A branch of a big chain of Tex Mex restaurants opened nearby, selling cheaper meals. Within months the local restaurant closed, and this fact was lamented by most in town, as most agreed the quality of the food was better, but they had mostly decided where to eat based on cost.|||there are not many french immigrants, and the ones that do come do so as professionals.however there are many many italian immigrants. also unlike french, asian immigrants tend to stay together. they meet thorugh things like thai temples (wats) or korean baptist churches. however french people dont really associate themselves in that way.I think most french immigrants move to Quebec not the US so they can be with other people who share their language and even culture to an extent.|||To Amelia's answer, I would add that France has a serious image problem in this country. Though there are of course Francophiles here - you're presumably one of them - as well as people who are neutral about France and all things French, I find that there are also many people here who view France with suspicion and disdain at best, outright contempt bordering on hatred at worst. I won't attempt to quantify this phenomenon by venturing a percentage of the population or anything; suffice it to say I find it to be depressingly common. I'm sure you've heard and/or personally witnessed France-bashing yourself: "the French are rude, pretentious, unkempt, anti-American, antisemitic, effeminate cowards with delusions of grandeur", yadayadayada. This is of course based on a highly politicized and skewed view of history, combined with caricatures that seem to take on a life of their own. I find that such, um, "thinking" is chiefly perpetrated by people who've neither set foot in France nor met anyone from there. Then of course there are people who don't necessarily harbor any ill-will, but who falsely assume that French food is inherently pricey; French culture inherently intimidating and inaccessible.
While I'm certainly not suggesting that this fully explains the dearth of French restaurants in your area (and elsewhere), I'd say it's a significant mitigating factor.
ok i know loads of girls say they like nice guys but they are just trying to be politically correct because they know they're supposed to, and most of the guys who say girls like nice guys are only saying that because they've heard girls say it. for the sake of all women i am just going to say it: we do not like nice guys! please don't be a nice guy, it is such a turn off, i totally hate it. don't be a jerk but just find some middle ground ok? like one guy i was dating asked me "permission" to change his display name on myspace are you for real? don't ask for permission to do that what do i care i'm not your guardian i'm your GIRLFRIEND! don't call me every 24 hours to "see how i'm doing", don't get me flowers every single date, don't ask me what i want to do, don't! i dont like it or want it. i want a man who will take the lead and take me on a ride (NOT a sexual thing! i mean like an emotional ride)! who will allow me to just sit in the passenger's seat and experience (and not shout out directions at every minute). who will order for me at restaurants, guide me through life, make the important decisions, make the plans, let me anticipate his calls by not having them at consistent times, make me wonder about him like all the girls in the romance novels *sigh*. i know i know all these things are typically frowned upon but for the sake of women everywhere PLEASE there are way too many nice guys, and if most women would me more upfront about what we really want this would not be a problem!! i dont want a nice guy i want a real one.
sorry if this bothered you i just had to get it off my chest. i know nice guys are well meaning but i just don't like it it's too over the top. so sorry if you're a nice guy and this offended you im sorry i really do like nice guys but i just dont like dating them because its boring and uncomfortable im just trying to be honest|||thanks for letting us know o_O|||It sounds like you want a suck-up who will be there for your every command, but then you will tell this guy I don't care what you want, it is all about me.

Hi, Can anyone help, I was tested for Celiac Disease last week and thankfully the test came back normal, but the Doctor Diagnosed me with I.B.S, and said that I had a sensitivity to Gluten and should cut it out of my diet.
After spending all night on the Gluten free web sites like Gluten free mall, etc, I find that I am now feeling very overwhelmed by the whole situation, and am starting to feel a little depressed about all the changes and choices.
Can anyone who has gone through this steer me in the right direction please. I seen a book called Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide by Dr. Mara Matison & Mr. Dainis Matison, and another restaurant guide by Triumph Dining gluten free.
Are these good books and does anyone know of anymore that can be helpful?
Does anyone know of any web sites that offer a big variety of gluten free products all in one place?
Please Please Help!!!|||Hey, it's not about your eyes, it's about your mouth! Reading is fine, but it really doesn't do much besides make you feel overwhelmed, as you found out.
Cut out some glutens for awhile and see what happens. The obvious ones are the breads and wheat flour products like pasta. Take it easy, and start one step at a time. If you are eating a lot of gluten now, reducing it should help, and if it does, you will be motivated to try more substitutes. First, just find out if cutting out breads and wheats helps you.|||I'm confused. There's only one answer so far, which doesn't say anything about losing weight. Also this is pretty much the same question as i've seen elsewhere.
i've been vegetarian for 5 months and have done all my research about the things i have to be careful about and vegetarianism is extremely health if you do it right and i have, i don't live off of french fries and coke and i eat lots of veggies fruits and i've even looked in the phone book at the restaurant guide and found all these places i can eat out at and highlighted the food that i can order, i've planned it out very well, and all i'm looking for is some thumbs up and "good job" even if the person doesn't believe in it, i just am tired of ppl being mean when they know nothing about being vegetarian, my new bf's mom wasn't in my face like my last bf, but she looked troubled and said "Oh honey, you're gonna be really ill if you eat like that" she's an older woman and just the fact that she said that tells me she knows nothing about what i'm doing cuz if she did she wouldn't have said that, i didn't say anything, i learned my lesson last time with my ex's parents, but it's just troubling that people aren't very well informed about the health benefits of being vegetarism...i'm the vegetarian that does it for the health, not the murder of animals, i know that sounds horrible and i love animals, but i don't wanna be all stressed out cuz i'm worried about every little piece of food i put in my mouth, ya know...and i'm writing this in a calm tone btw...i'm really looking for some help, i get really bothered that people will tell me i'm gonna be sick and i won't get the nutrition from a vegetarian diet when they know nothing about it. If they had at least looked it up and saw some benefits. and it's not even the fact that they aren't vegetarians, because i know that's personal choice and i don't wanna intrude on that, but when i do all my research and am aware of the pros and CONS of vegetarianism (B12 and calcium and iron defiancy, solution: drink soy milk or eat cheese, ether eat lots of veggies with iron or if you're anemic take a supplement, and drink/eat foods that are fortified with B12, problem solved, vegetarianism can be healthy if you do it right) But when i'm proud of myself for being healthy and they start firing off these myths that aren't true and talk to me like i don't know what i'm talking about, i get mad and i have a temper when ignorant ppl treat me that way without a reason or logic, and i blow up, but i'm trying to work on my people skills cuz i don't want people to think that's how all vegetarians are like, we are nice people but it hurts my feelings and irritates me when i know what i'm talking about and it's not like i'm bias, i looked at the Cons of doing this, but there's so much negativity, and i just want some tips from both vegs and non vegs, like for example, i'm open and willing to learn what really bugs you about vegetarians, i want to learn so i don't do that, and veg's tell me how you over came this struggle. i'm being very calm and i just really wanna learn so i don't alilenate myself, thank you|||Well it depends who is doing the asking.
In the case of a bf's mom, when she says "oh honey you're gonna get sick," just say you take multivitamins. That's not someone I'd argue the point with or someone where it's appropriate to teach her something about nutrition.
In the case of a friend or a peer though, just rattle off some facts about vegetarianism they wouldn't know. You can say it in a nice way if you really want like, "well actually you can get more than enough B12 with _____" or "I get my iron from _______"
If the friend or peer keeps pressing the point beyond that, then it's worth getting into an argument about if you really want to...but in that case they'd be the ones who antagonized YOU, not the other way around.|||Please do YOUR research.

Sometimes people will leave it at that, some will ask questions that im more then happy to answer (as long as they are sincere questions (trying to be a smart*ss questions get smart*ss responses), some want to debate it (and I''ll either debate it or just say "whatever believe what you want" because some people just arnt worth it.

Mother seeks $100 million in son鈥檚 death
By Phil Ray, pray@altoonamirror.com
HOLLIDAYSBURG 鈥?The mother of a man killed in a triple homicide last year plans to sue the federal government for $100 million, court documents state.
Sandra Miller of Altoona is the mother of Stephen Heiss, who died Aug. 28, 2005.
Miguel Padilla was convicted and received death sentences this month for killing Alfred Mignogna, owner of the United Veterans Association building; Fredrick Rickabaugh Sr., UVA doorman; and Heiss, a patron.
The jury wasn鈥檛 told that Padilla is an illegal alien.
The civil lawsuit notice, filed by attorney Art Cohen of Hollidaysburg, blames the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for allowing Padilla to remain in the United States.
Padilla, 27, came to America as a young boy with his mother and brothers to escape an alcoholic father.
He graduated from Penn Cambria High School but never became a U.S. citizen.
He was involved in a stabbing incident in which the victim was his then-father-in-law.
ICE never took Padilla into custody or attempted to deport him.
U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-9th District, spoke of the case on the House floor, saying ICE did nothing about Padilla.
Most of the money sought is for punitive damages because the government did not take any action that could have prevented the homicides.
An attorney with ICE declined comment Wednesday. ICE has asked Cohen to provide it with more details concerning the Padilla case.|||This is great news....I asked a question awhile back if people thought victims of an illegal should be able to sue the Gov. the majority said yes. I wish more would start suing!! I hope she wins and I want to stay on top of this to see how it works out.
OH and to answer the Q, yes it is a preventable death. Our gov. and greedy business owners have American blood on their hands, not as much as the actual perpetrator, but they do have some.
Another Great post seals!! thanx for this one!!
~add on~ If a moron can sue McDonalds (for her own idiocy) AND actually friggin wins, then I am sure this mother has a case.|||yes. thats funny because a girl asked a question yesterday about whether she could sue the government for her father being killed by an illegal. i hope she sees this.|||Just put a bullet in his brain.|||I don't know if you could relagate murder to the fact that he's an illegal allien. I'm sure percentage wise the numbers are overly favoring Legal citizens as committing 99.999999% of the murders even though illegal alliens may make up 1% of the population.
Yeah if he wasn't here those people wouldn't have gotten murdered. Yes he shoud've been deported. However I think that the illegal allien problem is not the cause of violent crime in the U.S.
It's poverty and greed.|||Yes, and I hope she wins her lawsuit.|||All illegals should have to apply for citizenship. What they are doing is illegal, thus the name!|||If Immigration laws were actually enforced, then the death could have been prevented. I hope she wins her lawsuit, everything that she is asking for, plus another $100 million. Maybe a win in court like that will actually get the government to do their jobs and protect the boarder better.|||Shouldn't we be putting our energies into *these* preventable deaths?
American Deaths:
Since war began (3/19/03):2708
Iraqi civilian deaths: 43546|||Another useless death - the cop in Houston...the police officers in Houston are planning a rally in Houston at the city hall reflecting pool on Tuesday, 10/3 from 11 til 1 to drum up support for the lack of pubic safety, homeland Secutiry & law enforcement...their argument is that the don't ask, don't tell policy concerning illegals of the Houston PD is a detrement to public safety. I don't live near houston but if i did i would be there....instead I guess I'll just have to email the city of houston to show my support.....Can/Will all of you do the same? http:\\www.houstontx.gov|||Yeah another person just trying to get some easy cash.Though if she wins the courts will be overflowing with people who claim that ex convicts killed someone in their family because they didn't keep them in jail.In order for her to win she will have to prove that in reality if this person had been deported that her family member would have still been alive.And since when is Ice obligated to check the legal status if every person arrested?Perhaps if someone had reported him to Ice as being an illegal then yes they could say Ice did nothing otherwise they cannot stop every single person and ask them for legal status without at least have a strong reason for it.Like if they suspect a company is hiring illegals.Its like someone stopping you on the street and asking what your religion or sexual preference is.But yet again maybe it will work but highly doubt it.
If I want to set up a restaurant guide/review business such as a website, can I get a tax deduction on my meals for restaurants that I review?
Obviously each country is different. I'm referring to AUSTRALIA. Thanks.|||Tax deductions are available to be offset against income earned from a particular activity. If all of your income came from restaurant reviews, you would have a case but not otherwise.|||I think because that this is your business, it is your job. this can be a tax deduction, just as tools are for a tradesman. as long as it is just what you do for jobs, one meal for one person.

I found a Brazilian restaurant guide www.findbrazilianfood.com! Still has a few restaurants, but every week has new entries!|||It's great! Many people don't know where found brazilian food but this website it's a perfect guide for this! It's in my bookmarks!|||Thank you
Sounds like I am getting hungry, again
I think I understand but I thought I'd ask here. (I am not overweight but it's good to try to eat healthy and cut out junk etc.) I did 20min. on a treadmill and burned 100 calories (1 pack of 100 calorie Doritos!) So I jumped on the internet to research restauraunt food. Take Breadsticks from Pizza hut it says 150 calories so are items such as that,pizza,chips etc. per piece/slice? If so then a 5 pack of Breadsticks means 5X150=750 Calories so you just ate 750 calories correct? (Most restaurant guides say serves X grams. Half a Pzone is a serving so a whole Pzone is 1,260 Calories!!! IT TOOK 20MIN. to burn 100 CALORIES!!!!! Thanks for your help. :-)|||do realize that you burn calories doing average things such as eating, sleeping, walking, and driving. And if you resort to lower calorie foods, it would take less time to burn them off.

I think I'll share these sites at my next Weight Watchers meeting!|||I love DWLZ! She must put a ton of work into it, and the restaurant listings even include Canadian ones. Love it. I'm sure the people at your meeting will appreciate the tip!|||OK, shameless plug here. My wife has been doing WW for about 2 years now and Dotti's site was recommended to her at her meetings. There is tons of information there but in a difficult to navigate format (for my wife anyway). I am in the process of making a site similar to Dotti's but hopefully a little easier to use. I've been putting it together for a few months but it is still a work in progress. Takes about 3-6 hours per restaurant to get it formatted properly. Check it out and let me know what you think!!

Has anyone lost large amounts of weight on any of these systems?? How much did you lose and how fast?? Please help!!!! Thanks so much!!!|||Hello Sparkles,
If you are looking for best weight loss systems you have a strict diet to follow like what i have done. I was 152 pounds before I started planning to loss weight. Following the strict diets and exercises given to me I've lost 60 pounds.
I always make sure to eat at least some healthy fats in most of my meals. Eating enough healthy fats is very important for maintaining proper fat burning and muscle building hormone levels in my body. Adequate healthy fats in my diet also helps in keeping my appetite under control. My gym instructor told me that burning to much fat and eating less of it, is not good. So if you aim to burn fats/calories there must be a balance. I also eat a high quality protein source with each meal and snack that I eat. Quality proteins from grass-fed meats, grass-fed raw dairy, and even from plant sources such as nuts and beans provides good appetite suppression so I can control my calorie intake easier.
And regarding with the exercises I have done. I jog ever morning, do bicycle crunches that really helps my stomach work. Doing arms and legs exercise at the same time I get enhanced work in my stomach muscles, and by twisting I get increased work in my oblique muscles. All parts of my stomach are worked with this one exercise. It really helps a lot in getting rid of my belly fats.
Hope that helps. If there is anything more I can do for you just drop me a line.|||I would recomend herbal magic! its all natural i use to work at one in my town ive seen wonderful results, my sister did it and lost 75 pounds in 4 months ive seen what it can do, there are a few catches though it is fairly pricey but id say its worth it.. its more of a lifestyle change you have to be really commited inorder to succeed.. if you have good will power and if you really wanna do it you can also going off the pills ive seen alot of people gain there wait back but its only because they stopped eating healthy.. you cant do it and then go back to eating junk (not saying you do) but diet is important if you want to stay healthy and keep fit... just a suggestion|||Just burn more calories then you consume.

Hi!...two of my friends from Australia are coming to visit me at the end of November and I am sooo thrilled about it. When i pick them up from the airport i want to give them each a small gift box with a bunch of things i think they will need or might be able to use as they tour around New York City. The ideas i have right now are: a metrocard, a map of the city, a subway map of the city, and a restaurant guide. I don't want it to be too expensive but i would like the box to get them excited about thier visit and have substantial, useful infromation. Thanks for your help!|||Also if you go to the Empire State Building there's a visitor information kind of booth set up where you can just pick up free pamphlets of different sights to see or tours that they can take. If anything, it'll be some nice things to take back home as souvenirs! Oh and a nice gift I like to buy for friends are those mini taxicab magnets.|||I think that what you have is perfect. Maybe also include the current Time Out New York to give them ideas of things to do. I wouldn't worry about including other food or gifts in the package. Half the fun of visiting a new city is taking in all the sights, visiting restaurants, and doing your own souvenirs shopping. If you give them a place to stay, as well as tips and tools for getting around, that's more than enough.|||I think you're on the right track. A MetroCard is a good idea, along with a subway map (very handy). Maybe you can highlight your favorite places in the restaurant guide they might like. There are booths in tourist areas like City Hall that give out brochures for various sites around the city, maybe you can collect a bunch of those and include them. You might also think about including some New York delicacies - a salami from Katz's, or a bottle or two of Manhattan Special coffee soda for a bit of old-time New York flavor.

My favorite Italian place is Sweet Basilico. It's very small, about 15 tables and you may have to wait for a table, but it's worth the wait! Excellent, fresh Italian at very reasonable prices. Dunraven Inn is also good for Italian. I love their Alfredo dishes - very rich!
I believe that if you try any of these places, you'll change your opinion of mediocre meals in Estes!|||We ate at a restaurant where you cook your own steak. It was really good.

I'm just curious how Prolific searches are for restaurants on the internet. When you want to find a new spot because you are bored of your usual Favorites, do you Research the Internet to find a new place to dine and if so what restaurant guides do you use or do you just randomly search? Also, which Restaurant Guide, if any, do you think is the best and why?|||LA Weekly is a good place to start...online or the paper itself.
Zagat guide. ||| I base my research on word of mouth. If one of my friends has tried a new restaurant and like it they will tell me about with rave reviews. Now they have tried a NEW restaurant and did not like they will tell me to stay away. Second thing read the newspaper food critic reviews of the place and if you like what you read then go check it out.|||I normally go by what I see as a good review in the local daily newspaper and weekly entertainment papres which both give a new review every week and give a synopsis of the 10 best they have reviewed recently.

Other source: word of mouth from friends and co-workers.
Our city has an Internet website from the local Health Board which gives the results of recent inspection visits. Normally health issues not a problem in our restaurants but I check it out if I drive by a restaurant that looks interesting and haven't heard about it.
I mainly look for family style, inexpensive eateries that give good value for the money - these are not usually found on internet Restaurant Guides.

I have found some new yummy places to eat before in my town I live in by using the phonebook :)|||you will love this, go to opentable.com I use that site before I go to any restaurant. enjoy!|||Most of the guides are subjective and value things I couldn't care less about. What I do is that I will take different routes to destinations, like home or work. If I see a restaurant that is quite busy, I will make a note of it and visit it in the near future. Of course the reasoning is that if enough people like it, there has got to be a reason.
I'm looking for maps, city guides, a restaurant guide...... Something to have before we get there so we can plan ahead. I was looking for some sort of chamber of commerce, but I'm not sure how to get the info.

It is a free guide (community driven) of restaurants/hotels/shops for people with celiac disease (and other food allergies). It has just been launched a couple of months ago, but has currently more than 5000 places. The easiest way to find places/restaurants is to interact with the map (select 'gluten-free' and zoom in to the region you want). Alternatively you can try typing the name of the city in the search box (typing toronto, for example, will give you now 37 results - you can click the map markers or click the 'see results as a list' link). Hope it helps!|||Hi Shauna,
Check out http://www.celiachandbook.com/canada.htm鈥?/a>
Lots of listings in Canada. Some are labeled as "Gluten-Free menu available and others as "ask for assistance". Good luck.
I live in East Finchley. There are only 3 eateries worth spending money in. Genzo. Poseidon. Chinon. Genzo offers quality I would drive into Soho for. You have included a VERY dubious list of establishments. Perhaps either your reviewers (if they exist) have no taste buds, or you accept entries by reading Yellow Pages. To call yourself a guide is laughable. Edward Mitchell|||near bishops avenue oooo
why dont u just go and eat in the
THE WHITE LION near finchley tube station, hollywood bowl or WOOD GREEN? N22!|||Are you asking a general question there or asking a specific person a question?
I have never eaten in East Finchley - and to be honest the 600 mile trip might have something to do with that. I haven't written a restaurant guide either so you are right to complain to me, I have never included your restaurant in a restaurant guide. But why should I?
So why are you asking everyone wht we have never included your restaurant in a guide?
I live in Nassau County but I often work and play in the city. Of course, the more time I spend there, the more I eat there. I've got the 2009 Zagat restaurant guide but I was just wondering if it's too much of a tourist move to keep it in my bag and possibly get caught consulting it in public.
This is not a terribly serious question but more of a curiosity. Thanks in advance.|||Absolutely not. I keep a copy in my car to look up restaurants in different areas depending on where I wind up at meal times. Often, friends who know I have a copy borrow it frequently. You get honest reviews from people who ate at the different establishments.|||yes you might get caught consulting in public
I dine out a lot and I've used a lot of restaurant dining guides, but before I find the restaurants that I want I have to click thru a lot of rubbish. Can any recommend a quick and easy restaurant guide?|||The sydney morning herald :good food guide" 2007. Its terrific . You can buy in newsagencies around sydney or bookstores.

They are touring the United States with Big Time Rush and they are BTR's opening. I'm going to their Chicago show :) I absolutley LOVE One Direction and I always see YouTube videos about fans meeting them as they enter/leave the venue and getting their autographs,etc. Since they are the opening, is there anyway I could leave BTR's concert a little early and try to find them? I really want to meet them! Thanks :)
p.s. Since they are the opening for BTR, how many songs do you think they will sing?

Other than that, I can't find any more info on what songs they could be playing. What do you think?|||When I went to a BTR concert bnack in July, we had the opportunity to meet all of the opening act singers. There was about 5 (It was outside and at a theme park.

Other than that, I can't find any more info on what songs they could be playing. What do you think?|||If you have meet and greets (you can win from a fan site or a local radio station) you could meet them. Radio stations are always giving away free meet and greets to whoever is performing in a town and they usually make you show how big of a fan you are by doing something they want you to do which they will say and they will decide who to give the meet and greets too. You cannot meet One Direction through a V.I.P pass, well.. that's how it is for most singers but for some singers that aren't very popular in America like Greyson Chance, Cody Simpson, Selena Gomez, Austin Mahone you can meet them through a V.I.P package but for singers like Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Beyonce, you cannot. What usually does come with V.I.P is reserved parking, sound check, sound check after party, close concert seats, and merchandise. You can see if the One Direction V.I.P packages come with meet and greets by calling the arena that One Direction will be performing at. If you arrive early like very early I don't know when exactly they would get there there is singers that show up at different times at the arena sometimes 5 AM, sometimes 7 AM sometimes 9 AM they arrive before everyone gets there and if you arrive early there is a chance of seeing them but don't just stand in front of the arena walk around it because they could be in the back also even if their bus is out front. If there tour bus is out front (it most likely will) and if you have the guts knock on their tour bus door and see what happens. If the boys from One Direction are not in there a friend, a bus driver or a parent will be in there and maybe if your lucky they will allow you to meet them, they probably won't be mean usually parents or friends that knows someone really well that's famous are nice because they have a lot of people going up to them and they don't wanna come off as mean and then have it been in the news the next day. There tour bus will be behind the arena after the concert is over because there are many fans going out the entrance and they don't wanna get trampled by thousands maybe millions of fans while heading to their tour bus so go behind the arena after the concert is over (if you really want to see them) and go near the doors because that is where they will be heading out. The boys from One Direction are extremely nice and even if you were behind a gate or you were very far from where they were and they see fans they will come up to you talk to you, take pictures and sign autographs. Usually at concerts the celebrity does talk to their fans, take pictures and sign autographs before and after the concert is over. You will never know unless you try :) Good luck hope you have a great time.|||I got tickets for the show in San Jose! If you get the vip tickets, you get to go in for sound check and a meet and greet. I'm sure you'll get to meet both big time rush and one direction, or at least I hope so! But if you get there early enough, you'll definitely be able to find them walking around.
Most opening acts only play three songs unfortunately|||Im going to their show in San Jose, and i got the VIP package that includes Meet & Greet, soundcheck, backstage, and the concert.. So like u should get the VIP package.. I won them on a radio contest.|||i have searched EVERYWHERE to find out how to meet them, I tried contacting ticketmaster, vip ticketmaster and the theater at which im going to see them (detroit) there is no way, it is just pure luck. Vip ticketmaster told me buying the big time rush vip wont get you to meet one direction, you only get to meet big time rush with vip... but you get to be near the stage for when one direction is performing. They told me you can ask some of the workers at the theater if there is a possibility to meet them, you can also wait outside to see if you could meet them or one more thing you could do is contact the theater about a week or two before the show and ask them, sometimes they give you hints on where to come and what time to come. I also suggest that right after one direction is done performing you go out and look for them. i heard sometimes they leave to see if they have any fans. also if you see any of their friends or family talk to them, they are all pretty nice and might be able to help you out. let me know if you find any other ways to meet them . good luck
Ok so I'm going to do my best to try and explain this:
So I go onto Panic! At The Disco's official page and click on the link for the Chicago show tickets. I go through all the processes for buying the ticket minus actually paying for it, just to get an idea how much it was going to cost. It said it only cost $38 all together. I couldn't believe it because I have asked people and they said they got their tickets for around $150. It didn't specify where the seat were either. So I don't understand what this was all about? I know the ticket site was legit because it was linked by the legit band site?
I hope this all makes sense and sorry if it doesn't!|||I used to buy concert tickets online at TicketFront.com .Its the most reliable ticket selling website.
In chicago, showed my condo for rent yesterday. I gave out no applications but took e-mail addresses so people wouldn't have to hang around filling out apps if they had other places to view. At one viewing (one male, one female) I was rubbed the wrong way by 1) their offensive comments and giggling about a place I happen to like (they didn't know I like it) 2) although my ad said I'd paint some rooms, the female said about a some chips in the doorway of a room that I said I will not be repainting "these will need to be fixed." 3) There is a white hallway carpet, worn but clean and she said "are you going to shampoo that before we move in?" as if the place were theirs and it wasn't good enough for them. They seemed like malcontents who could be problem tenants who are never satisfied. Talking to them again would make me sick. Are their comments grounds for disqualification? Must I contact them? Must I still let them apply?|||LOL, let them apply & pay for the screening fee to a tenant screening service. You certainly are not obligated to choose them as your tenants and can keep your ad running and applicants coming as long as you wish.
You must be careful about your wording however, as "I've just not found a suitable applicant yet" or haven't made your decision yet.
Go for the full screening also. It costs more, but then you have full credit, rent history and criminal background. Applicants pay for it so it doesn't cost you any extra.|||If this is your only rental unit, you are exempt from "being fair" under federal fair housing laws.
PS- this is only assuming you are doing this yourself and not thru a realtor/prop mgmt company. If you are going thru a realtor/prop mgmt company, then fed fair housing laws apply. Sorry for addendum, but i wanted to give you the correct info.|||No you dont have to let them have the condo. You can let them apply, however you can just state that you are still processing application.
However, never ever let prospective tenants leave without filling out an application. If they dont want to fill it out, they are not interested. Then you wont waste your time on them. You are letting people have the opportunity to go somewhere else. You want them in YOUR apt, not someone elses. Being a landlord is a business to make money. You are giving them the chance to give someone else their money. BAD MOVE.
I have had people come to see my apts that raised the hair on the back of my neck. They may have filled out an application, however never heard from me again. If they called about the apt, I used the above statement about still processing the apps.|||go with your "gut instinct"
and yes give out applications..
via the email..
and check the references..
don't forget the references could be "fake"
take pictures...of your property before you rent it so you have proof on the condition when they leave.
I usually ask..when someone wants the place if they want something removed as hall carpets..(i have hardwood under and expect that in great shape and mention that)..
some people are allergic to the dust from carpets and prefer hardwood..
I love hardwood and find it so easy to damp mop clean but i always supply some "cheap toss carpets" in case the renters prefer carpet or do not appreciate "hardwood"..
anyhow go with your "gut instinct"..
but do get out an application so if they run off with your fridge and stove you have some way to find them..and sue them..
i've had a "washer and dryer" stolen by a renter and they had the nerve to ask for the "damage deposit"..
go figure.

I read in one article that they were going to play all the songs off of their new album to try to "woo" the Americans, thus becoming their fans. Other than that, I can't find any more info on what songs they could be playing. What do you think?|||well im not too sure, but this is definitely a better answer than his ^^ im from australia so i wont have this problem, but my guess is that the girls get there really early, sneak and find, have passes, if you see them ask if you can come hang out. ask really sweetly, guys like that stuff -_- not sure where they'll be but when they walk around which they will probably do because they LOVE their fans, try and find them and just talk.
im not too sure that they will sing all of their songs from their album, 1 because they would get REALLY out of breath and so they will get really tired. 2 because it would take up too much time. i would think they would at least play 2 songs.
im also a directioner like you, have fun, and good luck :)|||I hate them because my GF likes them lol

How does this work exactly? because this is my first one, ever.
I want to get them something, something memorable. What do you guys think?
Anything else I might need to know, please add on. Thanks in advance.|||Okay, so i've never had a meet and greet with Paramore but i have had one with Aly and Aj, so your meet and greet depends on a lot of things, so lets say there is a lot of people in the line, even if your toward the front you wont get much time with them, all we got was a picture and me and my friend were 3rd in line. so you usually arive a little bit early and they come out and you go backstage in a little room and meet them, then they either take pictures or sign stuff or something, you dont get much time to talk, sorry.

A study of the size of jury awards in civil cases(such as injury, product liability, and medical malpractice) in Chicago showed that the median award was about $8000 but the mean award wa about $69000. Explain how this great difference betwee the two measures of center can occur.|||Mean is a non - resistant measure of center, as it can be influenced a lot by very small or very large numbers. Median, on the other hand, counts only the amount of data, not the actual value of data.
For instance, in this example, say there are 100 cases.
most of them, lets say 70% of them, are under 10K, but there are a few very large cases that pay out like 1-2 Million. Since the mean is dependent on the actual values of the data, it will go up a lot because of the few very large cases.
Median, on the other hand, will not, as it only counts the number of cases, and in this case, the 50% percentile of the data( the median), is below 10K, accounting for the very small median.
Hope this helps!
Is the Blue Man Group show in Vegas the same as the Chicago show?|||It is similar. But not the same. Although all the Blue Man venues offer the same type of percussion and some of the same songs, each show has its own routines and skits.
The Vegas show is very good. I saw it when Blue Man was playing at the Luxor in 2001. I've also seen the Blue Men when they were touring through Texas. It was also a great show with fantastic percussion but the skits were a lot different.|||I am sure it is similiar.|||Very similar from what I've been told.
I've only seen the Vegas group - but have a friend that has seen all of them except one group. He said they are all pretty much the same show.
Don't you get so caught up in the ending ---- the flowing paper & all!
They are soooooo good!
Black Sabbath is on tour now with Dio as their singer. I am considering going to the Chicago show. Thing is, I like the songs with Ozzy much better. My question is for anyone who has went to a show from The Devil You Know Tour. Have they been playing songs from the Ozzy era, such as "Black Sabbath" "NIB" "Iron Man" "War Pigs" "Paranoid" etc. or just Dio songs. Also, anyone have a rough setlist from a setlist on this tour?|||Actually they are touring as Heaven & Hell and not as Black Sabbath. They aren't playing any Ozzy era Sabbath on tour. The set list consists of Dio era Sabbath and and what is now Heaven & Hell.
A study of the size of jury awards in civil cases (such as injury, product liabilty, and medical malpractice) in Chicago showed that the median award was about $8000. But the mean award was about $69,000. Explain how this great difference between the two measures of center can occur.
|||what is the mean: mathemathical average.
what median is the middle awards when ranked by size.
so 1, 5,10,20, 10,000 has a median of 10 but a mean over 2000.
Hopefully now you can find suitable figures for your question|||There is an outlier that affects the mean but not the median.
For example:
5000, 7000, 8000, 10000, 90000
If that was the data, the median would be 8000 but the mean would be a much larger misleading number.|||most cases are lost|||It means that 1 very BIIIIG reward was given.
Let's say that there are 3 jurors:
juror A gets 8000
juror B gets 8000
juror C gets 191000
Then we get the situation you desribe.
Ofcourse, if there are more jurors, then the BIIIIG reward even gets bigger...|||say there were 5 amounts
1k,2k,8k,100k,234k
median is 8k, mean is 69k
the median should be low and the amounts higher than the median must be a lot higher.
|||The median is just the number in the middle of the set. Whereas he mean is the average of all the numbers added then divided by how many numbers there are. Therefore, there might be a lot of lower numbers, then a few really high numbers, so the median would be a lot lower than the average. e.g. (1,2,3,4,100)
Median:3
Mean:22|||There is different amounts of money per state. I think that there is some people receiving more due to the severity of the case. So the cash that someone can get is pretty high but it is more rare and the median reward is the average between the usual higher price and low price. I am not sure but this is just a guess. I hope you can figure it out though.
Interested in getting tickets early for the Sept 12 Chicago show...anyone have a code to access tickets early before they go on sale to the general public April 4th? Thanks.|||Keep your eye on the Cheap Trick messagboard. They always have current info, in Concerts on the Road and News sections. And if you feel like meeting the band, join the fan club. It's only $20. Meet & Greets have not been announced, but they do happen when Cheap Trick is not the headliner act. Now if only someone could explain why they are opening for a lameass band like Journey life would make sense again.

how much money do you think i could make if i sold my tickets. my two friends and i have three seats together. they aren't very good seats, but i know that a lot of people want to see her show since it is her comeback tour. they are 3 tickets to the chicago show on april 29 and we originally paid $80 for each ticket. How much do you think we could each make?|||atleast $200 per ticket
in my town the cheapest I could find is $300
good luck!
I would buy them from you if I lived in Chicago for ATLEAST $250 each and I am broke a$$ poor - I would sooo find the money somehow|||Try to start selling those right now I guess if you sell them early U can get almost what you paid or even a bit more. Good luck, I hope U can get good seats :D
How do you get into the meet and greet for Paramore? My dads in the No Doubt fan club, and he didnt hear ant=ything about a meet and greet for the Chicago show. Any help?|||I know that people that belong to the paramore fanclub are in with a chance to go to a meet and greet if they have ordered tickets off their website.
Hope that helps a bit !

how old do you need to be to go see the ellen degeneres show? my mom might be getting tickets for the chicago show|||Ellen's website says "Everyone in your party must be 14 years of age or older. All minors must show an I.D. and be accompanied by an adult." I requested tickets for the Chicago show too, I hope I get them!!|||I odnt think there si an age limit. But my cousin went and she is 13. So maybe you need to be 12 or 11 to go.|||not sure Im sure all are welcomed....
I'm going to the Chicago show on July 11 for the Jonas Brothers World Tour. Does anybody know what songs they sing/the order of them?? Please let me know.|||Their mainly doing the tour to promote the new cd "Lines, Vines, and Trying Times". But they also said on the 'Facebook Live Chat' that they'd be playing hits from the previous two cd's like "Hold On", "S.O.S", "A Little Bit Longer", and "Burnin' Up". An exact list of songs hasn't been set, but they may even play a song or two with Jordin Sparks and Honor Society.
I am seeing the band rush for the first time at jones beach on july 24th in more than a week and am very excited i checked the weather for the 24th and it says thunderstorms with a 30% chance of percipitation although it probably wont rain just in case im wondering if they have played in the rain before and i am aware that they canceled there chicago show last week because of the rain but they also had some of there equipment damaged and could be a different situation thank you|||no worries. they'll just levitate the crowd above the clouds. They can do that cause they're f*cking Rush and can withstand any kind of weather.|||I believe your ticket will probably say rain or shine on it, as I just went to see the Doobie Brothers and Chicago there this past Saturday night and my ticket definitely said that on it, but it wasn't raining and they 100% def played a full concert so i don't know why you heard it was cancelled as i saw it. Anyway, they will play in the rain, but if its a thunderstorm, then they might not be able to play. That has happened to me there, I saw Seal there and its was thundering and lightening so they cut the concert short, he only sang 4 songs, but man was it a sick show with the lightning lighting up the sky. I also saw Def Leppard and Journey there a few years back in the rain but they both played as there was no lightning. I hope that helps. have fun!|||Most likely *they'll* be under a tarp. You, however, will be on your own as far as trying to stay dry... and umbrellas usually aren't allowed. I suggest a poncho.|||i hope they all get electrocuted
so i am trying to buy spice girls tickets for one of the chicago shows but me and my friend are so confused??? you have to have a code in order to buy them... it says to register at thespicegirls.com to get the code... me and my friend both registered.... but we dont know how to get the code??? it says they will send you an email with the details.. but they didnt... has anyone bought tickets for n e of their concerts?? did you have the same problem?? does this mean the tickets are not onsale yet or something??? how did you get your code?? the united center website said the fan club presale was nov 5th... so wouldnt thatmean the general public sale should already be open?? we are really confused... we really want to go so please help us!!! Thank you!|||Only some people get the code sent to them, I think it was a random draw for the codes. If you register and are picked they email out a code to buy the tickets. Ticket's can't be bought without the code. Hope this helps !!
While watching Y&R today,,,,,it became very clear to me that as Good of a detective as Paul and JT are,,,,,they are not TOO discreet while talking !!! the past few conversations they have had has been at the coffee shop with EVERYONE in ear-shot,,,David Chow This,,David Chow that,,,NOW the girl from Chicago shows up,,I thought she was scared of David. Paul offered to go to Chicago,,,BUT NO> here she PoPs Up in Genoa City,,
My question is,,,Woulden't you think they would be a BIT less talky-talky about DAVID CHOW when people are around??? I woulden't want my business shouted all over town...expecially if it involved David|||Yeah, I hear your (and them) loud and clear. Yes, for private investigators they sure aren't very discreet, are they.
I think the same thing about Gloria, Micheal, and Kevin talking about the tainted face cream, and the possibility that Gloria will be tried for murder. I mean, sometimes they even start raising their voices at one another in the coffee shop with all sorts of people hanging around.
I want David Chow to go back to where ever he came from. I've never particularly liked this character. I think somehow he should get the ax... Send him to prison, have him die. I don't care just get rid of him already.
And speaking of Paul... Did he and Maggie break-up, because I haven't seen her on the show in the longest time? Does anyone know what's happened to her?
God bless!|||I hear ya. And watch the next time Chow takes his "bookie" calls. He walked out of the meeting today and said he had to return a phone call, and stood right in the middle of the lobby talking and never once looked around to see who might be listening. Believe me if I was doing private or underhanded business, my eyes wouldn't stop scanning the area LOL!|||I was thinking the SAME THING. Paul and Jt need to be a little more professional when it comes to business!
now that they know just what David is like ,,,,Paul needs to jump on the telling to Nicki>>> does she die?
BUT I think that David got the heads up from someone today when he was on the phone before Paul walked in looking for Nicki,,,the look on his face was "WHO'' and it seemed like he wasn't surprised to see Paul...
did anyone else think this besides myself???|||I tend to agree with you! However, what we see as them being "out-in-the-open" in various places, may just be the right place to talk about some things. Not everyone that comes into the coffee house (or airport, for that matter), knows or cares about Clarke. By the same token, doing that in the open, sometimes gets you unexpected results, and actions!|||I noticed this too....whatever happened to Paul's office? Did Y&R cut it out of his budget? Remember Lynn was his secretary? lol And like the other poster said: David and Brad are both always taking those "secretive bookie/gambling" calls right in the lobby of Jabot with tons of people walking by them at all times.|||your right.. especially with all the nosy people in there, and what if Gloria over heard,, she would blackmail somebody..she needs money now anyway..what do you think David chow is up too besides trying to Nicki's money..it getting kind of boring to me with all the business talk,,what will happen next,,it is so stupid to talk about all that in the coffee shop when they should be in their office,..........lol|||I noticed the same thing. They are not discreet at all. Even when the waitress comes up to the table they just keep blabbing. And then go to the bar with people around and talk on their phones for everyone to hear! Not so believable.|||For sure they should be more careful, l was wondering why Paul brought the woman to the "coffee house" to discuss something about David!!|||Amen!! Even when they were talking at the airport (after Paul landed), he was just chatting away about it as if he was all alone!! I think it's just one of those soap slip ups they thought we were all too stupid to notice. LOL|||Look, David Chow isnt that popular a person that everyone at the coffee shop would know or even care if anyone was talking about him.|||I thought the same thing. In public it should be just "HE" not "DAVID". They both know who they are talking about. And so do we.|||true...and tell them to lock their doors. on bb especially, folks talk about each other and the next minute the person they talk about enters through the door|||True ... David I believe knows that he talked to that step daughter chick that came to genoa city.|||(pssst) <whispers to miss monk>....you're not supposed to notice that !!!|||i was thinking same|||I have to totally agree with you. I also thought it was really strange for that girl to come to GC if she was sure that he had murdered her mother.
If they have things to talk about, JT is suppose to have an office at NE, so why don't they go there? As it turned out David did see or hear about the girl from Chicago.
Somehow I don't think the writers "think" about anything or perceive how what they are writing will be understood in the viewers eyes or how they will relate to the story. I don't think they put themselves into the viewers shoes and watch it from their perspective, and also the history of the show.
I'm sure these new writers have no clue as to the dynamics of a lot of the characters or the history of many of them. I think a lot of them need to do some homework and watch or read a lot of the back shows, because there are a lot of stories that have been left hanging.
What happened with Ji-Min's murder? Jill never mentions it anymore.
Also Maggie left without any fanfare here today and poof gone.
so i am trying to buy spice girls tickets for one of the chicago shows but me and my friend are so confused??? you have to have a code in order to buy them... it says to register at thespicegirls.com to get the code... me and my friend both registered.... but we dont know how to get the code??? it says they will send you an email with the details.. but they didnt... has anyone bought tickets for n e of their concerts?? did you have the same problem?? does this mean the tickets are not onsale yet or something??? how did you get your code?? the united center website said the fan club presale was nov 5th... so wouldnt thatmean the general public sale should already be open?? we are really confused... we really want to go so please help us!!! Thank you!
after we registered, they sent an email saying we registered and also it says .. we hope you are one of the lucky ones to come see us... so does this mean they just havent sent the code yet??? or we are not getting the code??? or what???|||you only get the code sent if you were chosen because they selected an amount of people and sent them the code, so unfortunately if you havent got it you cant get tickets....but now i think everywhere they are selling the tickets for everyone even if you dont have a code.|||presale code is needed for presale ticket. There are some place to search for presale code. Check them soon
I am an American but lived in Australia for most of high school, and that's where I met my boyfriend. I now live in Chicago with my grandparents and they are the ones who actually encouraged me to invite my boyfriend to come visit over the holidays. They've Skyped with him before, and they like him a lot. They know how much he means to me. They talked with his parents about everything. His parents are extremely excited for him because he's never left Australia. They're happy about it. They bought him the ticket already. My grandparents are treating him to everything we're doing in Chicago (shows, ski trip out of the city, stuff like that) We were together for two years, and really he was my one genuine friend there. Even though I was living in Australia, I was going to school online through a program in the US, so I didn't have a typical high school experience at all. I used to be an extremely extroverted, happy girl before we moved but in Australia I was very isolated and lonely. My only other friends were from gymnastics, but none of them really lived close enough to me to be able to make a close friendship. I didn't have a car and my mom wouldn't let me take Cityrail. He was honestly the only one who was there for me. He did a lot more for me than a typical boyfriend our age. We broke up before I moved, but would like to figure out some way to be together.
My mom is the one who is taking major issue with it. She thinks it's totally inappropriate and has been calling and emailing my Nana and harassing her about it. My family is coming over for the holidays, too, and I'm scared my mom is going to just sabotage our happiness. Thankfully, they will be staying with my other grandparents (her parents) so they won't be in our house. But she could still seriously muck everything up. She has a lot of issues as a result of prescription pain addiction (we were in a car accident years ago and she was badly hurt), depression, and other things. She also had brain cancer, but has been in remission for it for five years now. She became a religious zealot after everything, and now thinks I'm like an embarrassment or something for inviting my boyfriend to stay with me. He'll be sleeping in a guest room downstairs right across the hall from my grandparents' room, and my room is upstairs. We're not going to be shacking up. I have way too much respect and gratitude to my grandparents to do anything that would put them in an awkward position.
What should I do? I mean, both sets of my grandparents, his parents, and my dad are okay with this but she's the only one who isn't. Unfortunately, she's the type to ruin everything for everyone. Idk what to do. Would you even disapprove of this, all things considering? What should I do? I'm getting so anxious.|||Reading only the topic, my answer was so easy. No.
Then I read your whole question and I've had to rethink my answer. Based on everything you've written, it sounds like you have done a lot of planning, openly discussed rules with your grand parents and set acceptable boundaries. The choices you have made sound very mature. If I were your parent, I'd have to agree that it sounds like a fine plan.
As for your mother, I don't have any solid advice. You are living with your grandparents in their home, so the final say should be up to them. My step mother has an explosive personality and in thirty years, I've never found a consistent way to deal with her. I usually try to keep conversation very light and neutral when we are all together because I don't want the situation to blow up around my children. Try leading by example -- you want her to be pleasant, so you keep things as calm and pleasant as possible.
Enjoy your visit with your friend.|||Wouldn't bother me at all, then again im not a religious zealot.|||No I would not.|||Your mother sounds like a lot to handle. I'd say that if your grandparents who you live with are okay with it not to worry. I'm sure you'll have a great time.|||Theres always go to be that one disapproving parent. If you really want to show him off to your family and show everyone how much he means to you, do it. You can handle her comments right? And your 17 with no sexual intentions, almost an adult. If your mother can't respect that, then I say go against her wishes. Its not innappropiate, its a beautiful thing called love :)
ok heres the story but ill try 2 make it as brief as i can but its long, heres the story, i never relly had much luck with any gurls in my life, im 20 rite now and still never relly had any real gurlfriend, im the nicest most open minded down to earth sensative sweetest loving man any woman wood ever meet but everyone i meet seems 2 take that 4 granted, im a white man that relly likes brown gurls nd always has since i was a teenager, i like hispanic, indian, natives, and specially pacific islanders since theyre the ppl i mostly know and i speak a language they speak as i learned on my own, and i live here in usa but thats a long story i dont wanna talk about that, ill jus talk more about love, it seems 2 me as everyone is hung up on this image thing, no one cares anymore at all, everyone has a negative attitude, i watch the steve wilkos show all the time, not so much today but the old chicago shows from the tapes i have and those ones on youtube and i have learned alot but basically jus common sense from his show AND in real life, women jus love the image and like guys who treat them like crap, it seems that the only type of guys women like r soldiers, athletes or gang bangers, no romantic guys, usually its always the same excuses y gurls dont like me, they have a husband, boyfriend, honeyboo, babies daddy, or other stuff, ur not my type, i dont like white guys only black, ur too young, ur too short, ur not my type, its all the same everytime, usually one of 3 big circumstances
1. the gurls live VERY sheltered lives and arent open minded 2 b with a guy like
2. their friends lied and told them a crazy once upon a time story about a stupid little bad experience with me
or 3. they jus dont wanna change or try new things
i got no help or support in my life for all this stuff i been through and my trials and tribulations, i go to bed alone, wake up alone and spend most of my days alone and i jus dont want 2 anymore, im always alone and not cared for cuz i have no gurlfriend 2 share my life with and everyone in this town is simple minded and unwelcoming and i jus wanna leave, but cant for now, i will but it wont b for a while yet, im always ignored and never talked 2, gurls jus turn me down and ASSUME sumone else will come along and help me but they dont, thats y im so mad cuz im being shuffled off from person 2 person, the scary thing of all is that theres no meaning or direction 2 any females feelings, one minute theyre ok with me next minute they want me far away from them as possible, they cant make up their minds!! its like theyre so fast 2 hold grudges with me but so forgiving to their abusers n such, they jus 4give them but me, totally opposite, their feelings go a million directions at once, like every which way...and its scary!!! its eating me up inside bcuz i feel like ive done all i can, racist ppl, gang bangers, drug dealers, deat beats, stupid ppl etc...these ppl dont seem 2 have ANY plans on changing their ways and everytime theyre questioned about it they lie through their teeth and everyone believes them cuz no one knows the lonely lost sad empty feel i feel everyday and nite...

please help me ppl, i jus dont know where else 2 turn|||Long :P Well mabey you should try going out more. Bars,clubs, that sort of thing. Go with a friend who does this sort of thing often. Try and make yourself look polished but casual. Things like a shave, haircut, new clothes, a tan or working out can really make a difference. And try not to be so narrow minded. Be friendly with girls, and keep conversation subtle. Ask them about themselves. People like people who like them. Alcohol is fine just as long as you don't over do it. No one likes a drunk. Stay away from drugs. Theyre unattractive and can seriously mess up your life. Hope I helped!
I'm goin to the Chicago show tomorrow and I was just curious who was her opening act. I looked on the venue site and her's and came up with nothing.|||The Ting Tings are opening until 10/5|||I'm guessing it's The Jonas Brothers, but I also heard Avril Lavigne is opening for Jonas Brothers. lol I think I need to catch up on my celeb gossip!! :)|||in boston the ting tings|||The Ting Tings!|||Jonas Bros.
Has anyone heard anything about this? I'm almost reluctant to buy tickets for the Chicago show on May 22nd if there's a change the show may be canceled.|||im pretty sure it will because although he's sentenced it wont take affect until the end of may which will interfere with the tour, unless he can get the date changed that he hast to serve it.|||No its just 8 days, Isnt the first show in Columbus though?|||The tour starts on 5/17 in Columbus. I have tickets to the 5/20 in Cleveland. If he starts the sentence soon, it wont be an issue, except for missing the rehearsals.|||i hope it has no effects by October when they come to Voodoo Fest here in NOLA.|||No, they announced on TV last night he will be out in time.

Lupe Fiasco or N.E.R.D. in CHICAGO...
Lupe opened up in the Glow in the Dark tour...which is ok...but if anyone is familiar with hip hop shows...dem shitz aint ever on time...but this one was... 7:00 on the dot Lupe was on stage...There were people still coming in... In my opinion N.E.R.D. should have opened....at least for the Chicago show...|||Saturday papi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways to answer your question they should had Mos Def put N.E.R.D first then Lupe. I mean at least in the Chicago stop, in any other city then do whatever. Cause lets face it, people gonna wanna see their local artist so they shouldn't make them first you know. Cause lord knows I'm never on time for any concert and I would had been pissed if I missed him or came into the set while he started already|||I was wondering the same thing, when they came to NYC. That's the main reason I was actually there early. lol My guess is the set. N.E.R.D had all the lights and stuff, and Lupe didn't really have much. I think that's why they made him go first. I think N.E.R.D should of been the opening act (for the whole thing).|||agreed. I would have put lupe before N.E.R.D. at least in Chi-Town. That show was probably banans in Chicago with Lupe and Kanye.|||I heard complaints about that at school but at least you got to go, I was dreaming of what it could have been like|||Yea thats kinda odd...being that Lupe is a bit more popular in hip hop then NERD|||i agree. lupe should maybe come behind or before ye.
I am considering moving to olympia from Alaska. ( WAYYY TO COLD) Olympia looks nice from what I can see.

"People from Western cultures such as the United States are particularly challenged in their ability to understand someone else's point of view because they are part of a culture that encourages individualism", new research at the University of Chicago shows.
In contrast, Chinese, who live in a society that encourages a collectivist attitude among its members, are much more adept at determining another person's perspective, according to a new study.
Could years of basing our values on independence interfere with our ability to understand other's perspective? Do we need to promote the development of mental tools needed to take into account another person's point of view?
Here's a discussion of the recent research study titled, "The Effect of Culture on Perspective Taking" which was just published in the current issue of the journal Psychological Science: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/200…|||I read the article and thought it made a lot of sense. We Americans are a bit spoiled in terms of interpersonal and
physical space. Perhaps it is not only affecting our ability to
communicate, compromise and find command ground but also our efficiency and productivity.|||yes|||You're starting from a false assumption, in effect asking why do more Americans beat their wives ? Without proving by any objective standard that your basic thesis is true, you're asking WHY it's true.
I agree with the study of individual vs. collective values. But do collective values mean that Asians have a better understanding of other cultures' perspectives? No. Maoist indoctrination was the ultimate expression of collectivism, yet they outlawed even the slightest hint of western influence as evil and contaminating. Japanese collectivism led them to torture and kill Western POWs in WW2. Since their warrior collective values told them it was better to commit suicide than be captured, they thought that any Westerner who was captured was a coward and not worthy of respect.
Every Asian culture is a monoculture. There are no "bilingual laws" in Japan or Korea. Your beginning assumption, like most liberal biases, is false and belongs to the realm of fantasy and wish-fulfillment.|||it not only encourages individualism, but a selfish, spoiled child attitude. I think that may be why there is such a great backlash against activist groups in this country.|||Yeah I understand that.|||I understand other's perspectives fine. Religious extremists and the religious right have a hard time with ideas they deem to be against God. Bush is a good example of this. In spite of millions of Americans disagreeing with him, he will continue to do what he thinks is right. He would be better off having an open mind.|||I agree, but believe it exceeds putting blame on individualism. Being an unselfish individual is most certainly the ideal. Following the herd is bad, and being completely self-absorbed is awful. The majority of Americans seem to posses both qualities.|||Interesting question.
Taking an historical perspective regarding The United States; it a relatively new country, admittedly The North American Indians had a vast history but The United States today is young.
For a young country to succeed against the tide of British Colonism was a huge gamble which paid off.
Individualism was encouraged by the founding fathers; working on the premise that if you start with little you have only one way to go which is up.
The Chinese were collectivists, however now with the radical acceptance by the Chinese nation that to succeed globally they need to be in the active global market place collectivism is fading, especially around village communities which are close to large urban conurbations.
As The United States ages as a country and begins to settle and admit that it is a world leader without having to continuously prove it then the mental attitude will change.|||If you put that postulation on a personal level, look at the people you know who do not “understand” you. Are they individualistic or selfish? Maybe, but probably not. Everyone sees life and their beliefs based on their own experiences.
Americans may not understand other countries’ point of view because we rarely studied other countries’ histories in our history classes in America. Ask the average American is they understand anything about the history of the Middle East. If it weren’t for the movie “Lawrence of Arabia”, they wouldn’t even know that perspective (which is slightly skewed) of how certain nomadic tribes came to power in Saudi Arabia.
To know a person, a religion, and/or a country’s point of view, you need to understand their history. It tells you how they got to where they are today.|||I haven't looked at your link (thanks for posting it) as I have written extensively on this subject. The cult of individualism that exists in the US has its basis in the constitution and is validated by virtually every move the US makes. For instance, if you are unsuccessful in the world, YOU are personally responsible--which justifies lack of support for putting money into social programs. The "bootstrap mentality" as personified by the Will Smith movie about "happyness"--can't remember the title--is what allows people to justify behaviours that attack the individual's lack of initiative, lack of success, and so on. When the individual is at the centre of the world, the world can go to hell: that is basically the US mentality. On the contrary, China is founded on a collectivist way of thinking in that what is good for one must be good for all--that the good of the community overrrides the good of the individual. Canada is sort of part way between: we believe in individual rights, but if those individual rights infringe on the community as a whole, the community "wins." When anyone believes s/he is at the centre of the universe, all kinds of horrible acts can be perpetrated against others. It's like, who cares? I got mine, you go out and get yours. It is a very selfish way of living, but it is an ethos that has defined the US for a very long time. I'm not slagging anyone, I'm just telling it like it is
A popular gender stereotype that girls are better at languages than boys undermines boys' language performance because it causes worrying that erodes the mental resources needed for problem solving, new research at the University of Chicago shows.
The research study also showed for the first time that this threat to performance caused by gender stereotyping can also hinder success in *other* academic areas because mental abilities do not immediately rebound after being compromised by language anxiety.
This could help explain why boys don't perform as well in languages, and why boys and men would be less likely to choose careers dealing with languages. Do you agree, gender stereotypes about languages could affect a boy's academic abilities in languages and other academic areas as well?
Here is an article about the research study that was published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/05/07052402806.htm|||Yes.
Gender stereotyping causes many individuals to question their own capacity to learn. A child's developing mind is the greatest resource in our world. It should be protected and encouraged to thrive. Any child who displays an aptitude for languages should be encouraged to study languages. Any child who displays an aptitude for math should study math.
A person's ability to excel in any given area is related to interest in the topic and how hard the person works. One is only limited by what he/she believes about him/herself.
Note that my answer contains absolutely no gender bias, proof that it IS possible to communicate and live with gender equality - if one is willing to TRY.|||It's true in most of academia now - what was once a system geared toward educating boys, is now geared toward educating girls. Girls now do significantly better in school than boys. They are 10% more likely to graduate high school, and almost 20% more likely to go to college.|||Come on graymalkin. You don't think we actually buy this garbage, do you?
I am well aware that negative stereotyping CAN cause a human to avoid certain subjects. That takes a certain type, however- an (emotionally) WEAK one. How do we avoid having weak children?
The answer is simple. When they are young, explain to them that they can do anything. Over and over. Stand up for your kids. On the flip side, don't make them arrogant, and explain that everything important takes dedication and hard work.
The formula is VERY simple. The solution to these problems is good parenting, which is at a premium from what I can gather, and good education.
We need to stop relying on the government for both and realize that it is first and foremost the responsibility of PARENTS to do this.
My biology teacher pointed out a little while ago that parenting is the single most important job that one can have that requires absolutely no training or, very often, has any rules. Sure, one could be charged with abuse, but how often are such cases even brought to the courtroom?
The fact is that the requirements to become a parent and remain a parent are relatively minimal. That doesn't mean that a parent can't learn and apply himself/herself to make sure his/her children turn out to be the best they can be.|||I guess it all depends on strength of character. I was never one to believe that I could not do something or that I'd be bad at doing something - for any reason. Thus, I was extremely good at every subject in school. I never studied, everything just came easy.
On the other hand, if someone accepts it as truth when they are told that they are worse at something because they are a boy then it would be very detrimental. If believe it or even just use it as an excuse to be mentally lazy and just not learn the subject it's terrible (I've seen things like this happen everywhere).
So I'd say from a 'survival of the fittest' view on things, it's great. Stereotype away and those of us with the will power will rise above and beyond, using it as a source of energy.
But from Bush's viewpoint... "Leave no child behind" the gender stereotyping about language is bad.
I believe in the first method more than the latter, myself.|||What stereotype ? The worlds most famous literates are male from scriptwiters over theater to musical anybody who counts something is male. Only famous writer I can think of is the gal who wrote Harry Potter.|||"threat to performance caused by gender stereotyping..."
Du-uh. Psychologists and feminist organisations have been pointing this out for DECADES. You guys are only just now figuring out it's a double-edged sword?
I think I understand: you guys don't give a crap until precious boys are shown to be affected by blind belief in gender stereotypes. Then, "the SKY is falling!"
EDIT; I ASK AGAIN: WHY ON EARTH IS THIS 'NEWS'?
“Based on his own experience and the research that it helped spark, Aronson suggested that in most situations human intelligence reflects a social transaction: When one person in the social interaction holds a negative stereotype of the other person, like Mr. Tomlin’s notion of long hairs’ intelligence, it can cause the stereotyped person to mirror the other’s expectation.
Aronson further suggested that if teachers focused on counteracting negative stereotypes of certain groups’ academic abilities, like those of blacks, Hispanics and women, they could help to dramatically improve those groups’ performance. “Even if we can’t get better teachers, we can improve the system,” he said. “We should be stressing belongingness, engagement and challenges.”|||there's no deficit in language among boys. males tend to write & speak in a condensed form such as The New York Times. We don't write romance novels cause we have no drama queens
X-)|||Extremes don't have anything to do with the average man or woman in the middle. The average man is not discriminated against and doesn't have a problem whether he is good at language or as good at language as women or not. It simply doesn't matter. If a man is bad at language and he's really interested in it, he can pursue it anyway. I have a brother who's an English major that is very bad at English. I thought he was illiterate, but maybe he's dyslexic or something. It didn't stop him from pursuing it, but clearly he's not as good at it as me. He wasn't disadvantaged or discouraged by generalities about men being a little worse off in the languages area, just like he wasn't discouraged from majoring in a field he clearly sucks at. So, I don't think this matters in the long run. I think the same is true of women on first glance in the sciences. However, the difference is, which you failed to include, is that there aren't currently large numbers of women dominating the languages and discriminating against males trying to enter that field. Whereas women in sciences have to overcome first the possible natural disadvantage, then the stereotype, then the male tenure block or whatever you want to call it. It's not just about generalities or perceptions on the individual level. It's about who has the power to let you in or cut you off. Men still hold most of the power, even in areas they don't excell in. So no matter how much you compare the two and claim we're making excuses, the simple fact is, it's not about what happens to the average INDIVIDUAL. It's about who holds the power. If all things were equal and we had equal amounts of power then your arguements would be valid. But they're not.|||Gender stereotypes in general undermine in general. They serve no purpose today and should be eliminated.

This could help explain why girls don't perform as well in math, and why girls and women would be less likely to choose careers dealing with math. Do you agree, gender stereotypes about Math could affect a girl's academic abilities in math and other academic areas as well?
Here is an article about the research study that was published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/200鈥?/a>|||There was a study - I wish I could remember the source.
Anyway, they studied college-aged Japanese women. They were given a math test.
When the women were told that they were "good" at math, they did 15% better (on average) than when they were told that they weren't expected to do well.|||I think so, and I think it does apply to other subjects as well. If you believe a person can do well, they generally will, or at least do better. Also, in my experience, teachers tend to take the ones that are naturally better in their subjects under their wing, and encourage them more.|||I hate to say this here, but it's how I feel.
I've had it to *here* with groups of any sort claiming they under-achieved in school because somebody told them they could not do it, therefore they didn't try to achieve their full potential. Horse hockey - and studies can only speculate as to 'why.'
If some person truly had so little self-confidence to apply thenselves, their parents are much more to blame than "society."
When I was 9 my little brother and I whined to Mom that there were no home-made bookies in the house (just Chips Ahoy). She had just finished working 8 hrs - she slammed the recipe box on the counter and told us that if we wanted cookies we could bake them ourselves. No cooking classes, no teaching, no support group, nobody saying "Yes, dear, boys can make cookies just as well as girls." But we got to it and made some awesome cookies.
I bear no guilt in this - I have not told anybody thery could not do X or Y because they were male/female, white/black/Asian, short/tall, etc.
Maybe some girls have shunned math because the girl's role models in our society don't do math,. Let's see.....Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Oprah, Whitney Houston, keep naming all the famous women and how many got to where they are because they could do calculus?|||Sorry. Happy Bullet is DEAD on (minus the play in traffic- I won't say that).
PLEASE. Let's be realistic. I have NEVER heard anyone at ANY of my schools make a comment about girls not being worse in math.
Furthermore, let's analyze this. Saying boys are better somehow undermines female performance? What, pray tell, do you suppose happens when you say to a young boy, "Girls are better at reading," or writing?
Does that shoot the language skills of males to hell in some way or another?
Oh, and looking at the "study," I see some problems.
1) We have NO idea how large the sample size is.
2) We have NO idea if the sample was even random.
3) We have NO idea what kind of coaching went on.
One last point- it's a question actually. If stereotypes DO decrease academic abilities (...), WHAT should be done about it? Should all male teachers have sensitivity training? If a boy says boys are better at math, should he be sent down to the principal's office?
Sorry. I just don't think girls can honestly be that weak.
QUICK EDIT: Ok, question poster. Let's say you take 20000 staunch conservatives. You "randomly" assign them to two groups, with 10000 in each. One group is read a speech written by Senator Obama, and the other is given nothing. They are then asked whether they approve of Obama.
Surprisingly, 94% of the "speech" group and 95% of the "no speech" group dislike Obama when given the choices "Approve, Disapprove, and No Opinion!" The study concludes that listening to an inspiring speech therefore has no effect on the approval rating of the American populace.
It's pretty obvious that you can't draw that kind of a conclusion from the survey, given that the group had a particular characteristic in common that may have (and in this case, probably did) confounded the results.
It is important that you get a random SAMPLE, not that you just randomize once you GET the sample.
God only knows how they put it together.
(Noticed that I accidentally said "if the sample SIZE was random above; I removed the word "size".)|||it depends. it can undermine some, especially the ones who aren't sure of themselves, but it certainly didn't undermine me & i'm sure it doesn't undermine many other women.|||Of course it stifles their abilities, just as being told you are inadequate for any other gender profiling. But to break that thought process, why then are there so many great male chefs? Isn't it a woman's place in the kitchen?
The bottom line is if you are SMART enough to be considered a mathematical genius you should have the nerves to be able to withstand the pressures of being a woman---life is not fair to women, and I am the last to say that it is--why my daughter's GUIDANCE COUNSELOR in a very expensive private school told her blatantly she would never get into the school of her choice and that she better pick a lot more----it depressed her, gave her anxiety, but guess what? She proved that ***** wrong and got in on early acceptance and flagged it in her face!!! Sometimes challenges make people grow.........|||I've seen this article, as it happens and had already formulated an opinion. Take a look at the very last paragraph of the report which states;
""We demonstrated that worries about confirming a negative group stereotype may not only impact performance in the stereotyped domain, but that this impact can spill over onto subsequent, unrelated tasks that depend on the same processing resource the stereotype-related worries consume," Beilock and her colleagues wrote.
The research was supported by grants from the Institute of Education Sciences and the National Science Foundation"
______________________________________鈥?br>
I find articles that come about as a direct byproduct of GRANTS which conclude with "CAN" or "MIGHT" to be a troubling problem in our educational system. The conclusions are weak, poorly formulated and will appeal to losers, not winners. It is almost insulting, no, not almost, it is insulting.
That it took until the year 2007 to come up with this hypothesis which is based on a preconceived premise and is based on stereotype, not fact, and is moreover just a means of collecting foundation money for a "make work" project that perpetuates a continuing form of "employment" just leaves me cold, almost angry.
There's really no way for any one of us to gain anything of real value from these kinds of reports with any confidence. A person, male or female, who is a highly skilled mathematician is just that, highly skilled. You either can or cannot understand and solve complex mathematical formulas and your mental capacity for doing so is not eroded or diminished because someone else has the notion that the male is better than the female.
These kinds of stereotypes no longer have a place in the society of today and are bound to become even less important as time passes by.
There's nothing at all that a woman is unable to do, except for certain highly physical matters, that's already been proven many times over.|||I'm with the other guy whose response I read so far. Though not as cruel.
But seriously, I never saw or heard anything but boys struggling to get decent grades in school. Girls always got the extra attention, extra motivation, extra support. When boys messed up, they simply said the boys were hyperactive, troublemakers or class clowns... not realizing that perhaps the boys didn't understand the topic and needed extra help too.
Too heck with your studies.
UPDATE: When I said 'too heck with your studies,' I knew this was a woman studies category. Obivously I thought your supposed 'study' isn't worth the hypothetical, wishful feminists legs it's standing on.
1. It's proven a hundred times over that brains of the different sexes are wired to excel in different tasks.
2. I'm more concerned with why individual children have trouble in a certain topic-rather than generalizing and calling all people of a certain group crippled by some maligned societal perception.|||That makes some sense. A friend of mine, after transferring her daughter to an all-girls high school, was shocked to see her interest in math increase substantially. Somehow, for some reason, she was content to sit quietly in the math class at her old school and make C's, but was quickly doing higher-level work and making A's at her new (more challenging) girl's school. I'm not sure what it is precisely - I'm sure the teacher didn't come out and tell her "girls are bad at math", and I would never have called her the type to succumb to peer pressure, but there it is.
I would be so bold as to claim that girls are sometimes more sensitive to picking up on what is "expected" of them than boys are. I've seen a lot of work on this, and it seems that the "egos" of boys are more stable, and girls' "egos" are more apt to be affected by others' opinions and tacit messages. If this is true, it should change the way we go about teaching (and parenting) girls.|||Probably so. I've met a ot of girls in my high school courses (I took all the hard math classes, too) who were very good at math. And some of my male classmates struggled in math. So it's just a stereotype.|||It's quite possible. If you were told at a young age that girls weren't supposed to play with trucks, would you keep playing with trucks? Every child with a specific talent should be encouraged to develop it further. For example, I started reading at a very early age and I was pretty good at making up stories, so I was told to keep writing, and I did. Meanwhile, my brother loves animals, and no one told him to stop studying them. He now intends to be a zoologist.|||I don't know... I was in the bottom of the barrel math classes in High School and College and there were always more guys in those classes than otherwise. It could be that the other girls were still trying to struggle through the harder classes.
And my other academic abilities were never hindered by math. After math class I would arrive at English, history, various science classes and (in college) philosophy and psychology with a sigh of relief at the prospect of something I was good at. I don't know about everyone else, but I rebounded quickly.
In fact, the only math classes I was ever any good in were the statistics courses I took for my psych major. The fact I could connect the math to another subject that I understood helped a lot. I got an A in stats I and a B in stats II.|||I think that both genders have a propensity towards certain subjects. It's just the way the brain is wired. I started off loving math as a child but (just as stats show) I lost interest in around 3rd grade. There wasn't a strong push for mathmatics at this stage. People started encouraging me in writing instead. I think once people started encouraging me on one field and helping me less with the other, I developed a defeates attitude and gave up. I struggled with math all the way up until I graduated highschool, and have avoided it this far in my college career. I realize there is a mental block I must over come, and that math will take much more focussing than other subjects. This is a shame, but the same rings true for men and boys. At the same time I was encouraged to put my focus towards writing was the same instance where the boys were pushed towards science and math. People often say boys lag behind girls in verbal skills, and so they over compensate with an emphasis on science and math and by doing so, make boys feel inferrior in this respect. Even to this day my husband will tell me he is uncomfortable with spelling. He'll write me a beautiful love letter, but will be ashamed of it, calling it cheesy. Our public schools are lacking and teachers are lazy. Instead of realizing that the two genders learn at different speeds they take their strengths and make them focus primarily on those,and in turn, this makes the students feel stupid in those subjects in which they don't initially suceed. We need to realize we all have a certain propensity towards particular subjects and then not keep the emphasis solely on those but encourage both genders to work on those subjects in which they are not their most comfortable, we need to be patient and never make them feel incapable.
another area I find to be bias is in the emphasis we put on children's attributes. Boys are affirmed from a young age in their abilites, while girls are affirmed through their looks. "my, aren't you a pretty girl" and to boys, "how smart, you finished that puzzle all by yourself?" girls recieve 10 times the compliments on their looks than boys, causing those girls to grow into adolesence and subconscienciously put their focus to beauty and being desirable. It's unhealthy. We need to mix up the types of compliments we give girls.|||hmmm sounds like the people who have been examined in the study have a backbone made of gelly. Seriously though thats total bull. The reason men are more likely to excel at math than women is because of the distribuition of white brain matter to grey matter which tends to be more in favour of the grey stuff in men.

This is what is scheduled on July 3rd on Navy Pier's website. Looking to visit at that time, but I don't know what that means exactly. Thanks a lot.
http://www.navypier.com/SubLink.cfm?Main鈥?/a>|||Every year Chicago has "The Taste of Chicago" where several restraunts throughout the city set up booths and people can eat Mexican food in one booth and right next door you can have Egg Roles and Shrimp Fried Rice. They have music (last year Melissa Etheridge put on a free concert) and Navy pier has an awesome ferris wheel and other activities. The Taste lasts through July 4th and the second to last night they have an great fireworks display. It's fun but crowded. Stay downtown and take public transportation. Chicago is not a city you need to rent a car in. Take a Cab or the may CTA trains and Metra trains available. Navy pier is right on the lake so you have great views of the city and the water. Have fun and enjoy all the food!!!!|||Just another type of fireworks show|||Navy Pier usually has their own fireworks show on the other dates. The one you see listed on July 3rd is what you'll see there given by the city of Chicago, usually with the Grant Park Orchestra playing along. Chicago has always done the celebration on the 3rd.
If you decide to go, just be very careful, keep an eye on your wallets. Since it's kind of hard to keep an eye on them when you got your head tilted back looking at the fireworks!! It's a great show, especially with the music. It gets pretty crowded. So, get there early, find a spot, lay out a blanket and STAY THERE!!!

I love them!|||Some of the tickets are going on sale on the 13th of March, and the rest on April 6th. I would not recommend buying them from the site that person said..I just went there and they are selling them for $800 a ticket...U2 has lowered their ticket prices this year due to the economic crisis. I'm sure you will be able to get them from U2.com or Ticketmaster. They are starting at $33 and going up to $250 for the most expensive.|||I already got mine from SeatBOT. I always buy from these guys because they get the tickets super early and I can see the seatmap so I know exactly what I'm getting.
Ellen DeGeneres is going to be in my home town of Chicago today she is going to be downtown in Chicago, I wish I could be going but I'll wait till nest year, are you going to be in the audience today,I can' wait to see that show.
this question was posted 5-6-08|||I watched part of it. Apparently, it is pretty cool there today and they kept mentioning that. It wasn't a particularly good show. Ellen was in some pizza restaurant messing around and it wasn't funny. That kind of stuff was kind of shocking at first, but it isn't even funny now.|||Robin Williams is her guest. Gosh he looks so old. It's fast how time passes.
Is anyone going to the Nightwatchman show tomorrow night at Park West in Chicago? I was wondering who else was confirmed to be there with Tom Morello. If you know, please share!|||THeres a long list of people w ho are appearing.
But I don't have a ticket! They sold out too
quickly. If you have two and wanna make some
dough, I'm willing to pay! HELP!
i was checking ticketmaster and it was like not letting me get them. anyone know if they're sold out|||the same thing happened to me. it told me to maybe change the number of tickets and i made it 1 ticket and still it didn't work. maybe there are too many people trying to buy them. you should probably just go to a ticketmaster booth (there is one in carson pirie scott)
The Chicago show was better, albeit weird. Is he on his way to better shows, or will he be sucked in by the drugs/alcohol knocking on his shoulder soon?|||He is exhibiting signs of drug-induced psychosis. His audiences probably do not realise they are watching a man who is going into sad self destruction. My prediction is that he will kill himself with an overdose.
Shame to see comedy turn into tragedy.
Are they doing meet and greets after shows?
I'm going to the Chicago show on monday and I am DYING to meet Kaoru. <3|||just went to the last NYC show, they were all walking around the city so it was pretty easy to see most of them. Also the tour bus was right next to where the line was so the fans could see them coming in and out throughout the day. My friend and I actually ended being in the same restaurant as Kyo for lunch, before he left he shook hands with us and sais bye ^ ^ , we also saw Karoru and toshiya. overall they seem to be in a very friendly mood laltely every time they went out they would say hi to fans. they also signed autographs after the concert but only 2 members each night. during the show i went to is was Shinya and Die who signed but they would hug and shake hands with fans also. Theres a good change for you so just be there early!!! ^ ^
I can't find the tickets for this show anywhere, only tickets for the day before (which is also in Chicago, but no good seats left). One website says the tickets aren't available. Is it sold out or are the tickets not even on sale yet? When will they be on sale?|||great there back................now puking.........|||I thought they were completely sold out|||Sorry but i heard all there concerts were sold out. The Aus one sold out in 2min

My husband and I will be in chicago this christmas, i would like to ask for some great places to see, I have been told Navy Pier, Parks, Towers, but Are there any great Chicago shows? example cirque de soliel, blue man group...something very good to see during those days? I would like to experience the best of chicago, ohh and the best chicago pizza restaurant, what would be the MOST GO place? Must take picture of?
Let me know!
Thanks|||Hi! So glad you're visiting us! :-) Here are a list of must-see hot spots:
1.) Blue Man Group playing at the Briar Street Theater
2.) Skate on State - ice skating located on State St.
--or-- Millenium Park Ice Rink (it's free!!)
3.) The King Tut exhibit at the Field Museum - will only be available until December 31, then it returns to Egypt, never to leave their country again!
4.) Shedd Aquarium - beautiful aquatic animals
5.) The Museum of Science and Industry - home to the world's largest dollhouse, as well as an underground coal mine (very cool experience!)
6.) Adler Planetarium - if you're into stars, the planetarium is a cool place to go with fun little exhibits inside. It's not on as grand a scale as the other museums, but it's definitely worth a visit.
7.) The Art Institute of Chicago - I haven't yet been, but I've heard it's amazing
8.) Lincoln Park Zoo - open 9 to 5 (buildings close at 4:30)
9.) There are also several different walking and bus tours. My favorite is the architectural tour. (Contact the tourism center for information about that.)
10.) Current Broadway in Chicago shows: Wicked (FANTASTIC!!! I absolutely LOVED this show!!) and Spelling Bee (I hear it's very good). Coming soon: The Color Purple, Riverdance, and Mamma Mia. There are more shows, but these are among the most popular.
As for fabulous restaurants, here are some of my favorites:
1.) The Cheesecake Factory - built like you're inside a cheesecake!
2.) Lou Malnotti's (fabulous pizza)
3.) House of Blues (stop in see a show and catch a bite to eat!)
4.) Ed Debevic's (50's style restaurant, complete with rude servers! Always a laugh, and a good burger!)
5.) The Rainforest Cafe - now this place is an experience. You walk in, and it's as if you've jumped into the Amazon, complete with hanging animals and a light rainshower here and there.
This website is a compiled list of some of Chicago's best restaurants. It's divided by the style of dining (breakfast, Italian, Mexican, etc.): http://home.comcast.net/~wadenorton/best鈥?/a>
I hope this lengthy list helps you out. Feel free to drop me a line, and let me know how your visit was. Thanks and welcome!!
The Chicago Tourism Center is located inside the Cultural Center at 72 E. Randolph St. (312) 744-6630 if you would like some more info.|||Might I suggest Portugal. Also, if you want to stay in the Chicago area, visit 1,004th street intersecting 1,677,465th street. very nice resteraunt called "lil' Pannucci's" check it out|||You have to Millenium Park! They have a big, shiny shape dubbed the "Bean". You can take a picture of yourself looking in it and see your reflection. It's pretty!|||You must go to the museums---the aquarium is great!!! I highly recommend the art museum--all terrific!|||Definitely make sure you walk down the Magnificent Mile at night-- it is so pretty all lit up for Christmas. Go shopping and just enjoy the atmosphere. Go up into the John Hancock building or the Sears Tower... this is fun and offers cool views.
Visit Millennium Park as well, and go ice skating there. You can rent ice skates. It's better to go during the day, since it will be less crowded. Going at night is fun too, if you don't mind waiting in line for a little while. :)
As far as shows, it depends on what your taste is. My recommendations would be "Wicked" (visit broadwayinchicago.com for tickets and information on other shows) or go to see "Romeo and Juliet" at the Lyric Opera (depending on when you are going to be here exactly... check out lyricopera.org).
You absolutely have to visit UNO's pizzeria on Ohio Street. This is the original deep-dish pizza restaurant in Chicago. It's so warm, cozy, inexpensive, and has such a Chicago feel to it!
Have fun!! Chicago is so wonderful, especially at Christmas-time!|||Chicago has a great theater scene. For listings, check out the Chicago Reader website. I think it's www. chicagoreader.com. The Art Institute is fabulous; the aquarium is impressive; the natural history museum is great....And my favorite thing is the Early Skyscraper Tour conducted by the Chicago Architecture Foundation; I'm sure they have got a website. Chicago was the birthplace of the skyscraper and a hotbed of architectural creativity in the late 19th-early 20th centuries; you've got these really cool buildings by Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and others....it's a really great walking tour; you should do it. (Just bring your gloves, warm boots and your woolies to keep warm!)|||I'd recommend Second City - a very classic comedy club with very funny, often politically oriented skits. Several of the Saturday Night Live and Mad TV members got their starts at Second City (including some huge names like John Belushi and Bill Murray.)
The best pizza restaurant, in my opinion, is Lou Malnati's - but you'd get a lot of votes for Gino's East or Giordano's. If you go to any of those, you won't go wrong.
The thing you probably have to take a picture of is the Bean in Millennium Park, just north of the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue. The Art Institute itself is also well worth seeing.|||Go eat at this little brunch joint called Orange. Great brunch. Get the french toast kabobs, soaked in coconut milk and served with roasted strawberries and pineapple. They also have green eggs and ham. Awesome coffee. Filled with locals. My hubbie and I go there often.
Also, you must eat Italian food, pizza, hotdogs and steak while you are here:
I recommend
-Lou Malanati's for pizza. The butter crust is to die for.
-Taylor Street for Italian food. Tuscany or Mia Francesca are always great.
-Gibson's Steak house on Rush Street. Pricey, but a Chicago tradition.
-Hot Dogs- Venture out to Hot Doug's or Portillos. No ketchup, remember
Now that food is covered, our museums are awesome, as well as our theatre or comedy. If you haven't seen Wicked, I recommend that. Second City is far cheaper for some improv and laughs. The best museums are the MCA and Art Institute in my opinion. Steer clear of the Navy Pier, it's boring.|||if you go to navy pier, towers, shopping..blah blah blah. it's very very busy during holidays and very touristy. check out some of the shows such as blueman group which is about $50 per ticket, but an awesome experience. go watch the musical, wicked, it's about $60 up. do not forget to check out comedy clubs such as second city, great shows and all range from $10-$20. gino's east or giarodano's is pretty good. john hancock's dinner is completely not worth it and really expensive, so you should go during lunch. it's cheaper and better food. cocktails are great there and don't skip out on dessert. check out local bars, if you're around the area of state street and grand. go to rock bottom bar and grill, great beer~!! best tip at this time of the year, wherever you decide to go, book your appointments now~!! check out metromix.com and chicago-scene.com for tickets to shows just go to ticketmaster.com or their home website. good luck and have fun~!|||Wicked is a big hit here in the theater district. Tony and Tinas Wedding is a good one too. I would shoot for those. Blue Man Group is a good one too.
Sears Tower observatory...or the Hancock one - cheaper and less crowded at Hancock.
Heven on Seven for Cajun Food, Ginos East for pizza. Definitely need a hot dog...find any little hot dog joint and enjoy a Chicago Style Dog....no ketchup! Superdawg on Devon is a landmark!
Navy Pier is a must, Millenium Park ice skating is a must. State Street Christmas windows are a must.
Lincoln Park Zoo...lighted for holiday at night....a definite must see. Very cool!|||The place for pizza is debatable, I like Unos, Giordinos is good too. Try a chicago hot dog or an itialian beef.
There are several shows to go see, as you listed, Blue Man, Cirque de soliel are both in town, and also Wicked.
But a best for chicago, try Legends for blues. People will say Kingston Mines, but I say legends.
Food at the Hancock is way over priced, but you can't beat the view. For night life, most people go to Rush and Division. But I like the bars further north. Less crowded and cheaper. If you like scotch, look up Duke of Perth.
Check out the Chicagoreader.com for more info.|||Go to the Chicago Cultural Center on Michigan and Washington. Why? Its a Chicago landmark. Beautiful stained glass, including the worlds largest Tiffany dome. World class live music and art...and its all free. Walk north on Michigan Ave. over the Chicago River and stop by the Tribune building. Beside the stunning architecture look carefully at the building and there are over 100 stones from famed sites around the globe (my favorite is the Parthenon). If you keep walking soon you'll be ensconced in the Magnificent Mile shopping experience. They turned the Water Tower (the actual one that survived the Chicago Fire, not the mall) into an art gallery, again, Free. There is so much I could go on for days. Giordano's pizza is good, but get the stuffed. My choice would be Gino's East (again, get the stuffed) an original experience and some great pizza. It's hard to go wrong with Pizza in Chicago. For a show, I would recommend Second City. John Hancock has the best view. Maybe skip the traditional trip to the top and go to the Signature Lounge for a cocktail on the 95th floor instead. Expensive but worth the view. Hope you have a wonderful time, it's a fabulous city.
Chicago Native|||giordono's pizza has probably the best pizza in chicago by my standards. they are fairly inexpensive too (about 8 or 9 dollars a person). if you will be in the south suburbs, there is great pizza place called "Beggars". i believe that there are about 5 or 6 of them around the south subarbs. dont be frightened by the name, they have very good pizza. they are a little bit more pricey than giordono's but are just as good. also there are many good museums in the city. for example: the field museum, the alder planetarium, the museum of science and industry, and if you have kids that are fairly young, they will love the shedd aquarium. another thing that is always fun is the macy's windows. i heard that they are in the theme of "mary poppins" this year. michigan avenue is always decorated very nicely during the holiday season. there are some great shops that cover a range of topics on that street.
enjoy your time in chicago!
not just the city, western/southwestern burbs also..|||I'm not sure. I'm guessing you asked this because you live in Chicago right? Well I would look up a few local bars around town and ask about it. It couldn't hurt, that's the way I had to do it when I wanted to see a WWE PPV where I live, just call them up and ask if they're showing any WWE PPV's, they might be showing them I don't know but if they're not you might have to find a stream or order the show. It's best to ask a week or so in advance so you can plan ahead because believe me when they show events like that the place can be packed. I went and saw a WrestleMania 24 at a bar after looking everywhere else for it, we arrived an hour or so into it and ended up having to stand for 2 and a half hours, the place was so packed.|||im not sure you can check on

I live right outside of Chicago and I was wondering about any free shows this summer. I know about Blues Fest, Jazz Fest, and the Taste of Chicago. But I am really wondering about any smaller bands, in the alternative grouping. If there are any bigger artists preforming free shows, please inform also! :D
Thanks, Annilee|||Betweent the links below, you should have a complete list of all the summer festivals in the city.|||Be sure to look into the Grant Park Music Festival. This has a variety of music types, though I admit the ones I have seen are when my sister was part of the Lyric Opera's young artists program. There are usually free small concerts at the Chicago Cultural Center on Wednesdays during lunch hour.|||stay away from the city, nothing but trouble
Nick Jonas has a new A Little Bit Longer speech and I want to know what it is. I went to the Chicago show, so it'd be great if you could take the one he made in Chicago. This is really important to me because it's going on my wall as a border and on a T- shirt|||Heres the speech from January 10, 2010. Im pretty sure that he says the same speech for the tour.

I am going to New York in a couple weeks and I was thinking of trying to rush tickets for a show. I am a college student so I'm trying to save as much money as I can! Does anyone have any experience with doing this and can share some tips maybe? Also, I live in Chicago right now and I was thinking of trying to rush tickets for Broadway in Chicago show, anyone ever do this?
Thanks, and 10 points to the Best Answer!|||Rush tickets are normally available either when the box office opens or a few hours before the production starts. Rush tickets are normally about $20-25 each. Sometimes a student ID is required to purchase tickets (though often with one student ID, two tickets can be purchased).
I hope this information is very helpful.

have you seen Chicago in the Cambridge theatre, london
what did you think of the show?
and are the seats in the upper circile good or should we spend more money for the stalls or dress circle|||It all depends on preference. I've seen it twice, once in the Cambridge Theatre, and despite being in the Upper Circle I saw everything however I did feel apart from the show itself rather than enthralled.
My personal choice would be to be in the middle level a few rows back from the front (rows E-G ideal) and worth the extra outlay on most shows, especially when you are looking more onto the show rather than from above.|||I saw it at the Cambridge theatre and it was very good. I was in the upper circle and saw everything.
Hey so I bought 3 extra tickets and I need to sell them by Saturday. They're pretty good floor seats sec 112 row D and I bought them for around 65 each but would sell them for 40 or a negotiable price!

I live in Chicago,IL and I don't know how illegal or if the paintball guns are even illegal in Chicago,IL. Can someone help me out, tell me the law of paintball guns in chicago, show me some proof?|||paintballhitman is mostly right, but they are also not considereda weapon unless the tank is in, with or without paintballs, it is illegal to carry around am aired up gun.
and as for the surrender rule, those are mostly just for begginer matches. u cant say that u dont want to play with the surrender rule and if EVERYONE else says ok the there is no surrender rule and u can shoot any distance. and at my place the surrender rule is for 10 feet so it must vary for every other field.
but in conclusion they are legal in north america(yes even mexico) but can only be shot at designated sites or on your own property.|||they are legal no problem there but it is illegal to shoot someone off the field like a neighbor that annoys you
and its illegal to shoot private property and if your walking down the street take the tank & hopper off and put it in a back pack if the police stop you tell them you have a paintball MARKER dont say gun there not considered fire arms they are considered a Marker because they mark where they hit they cant put a hole in you but can injure some one so when you play paintball and your shooting at some one ON THE FIELD make sure not to shoot within 20 feet
the actual field rules are within 20 feet you must yell surrender if your opponent moves like hes gonna shoot you then shoot or get shot
if your within 10 feet the first one to say surrender is the winner
at point blank touch your opponent with the barrel dont fire say your out and he is out if he shoots you he is out and you win
Lovie Smith led the Bears to the Super Bowl as the lowest paid head coach in the NFL. Why aren't they showing Lovie the damn money? I think race very well could be a factor in this. They also didn't offer a contract to Ron Rivera who is a Latino and let him leave for a linebackers coach postion. There's something fishy going on in Chicago.|||It has nothing to do with race. Stop playing that as an excuse for everything that happens in society. Maybe his coaching styles and techniques are a little troublesome to the organization. Maybe they question the ability to produce Rex Grossman or any future QB. Maybe the believe it was a one season deal and that is that. Like the person said above, it is business. Get a coach that led a team to the Super Bowl and don't have to pay him as much as anyone else, then you got a nice business. I don't hear him complaining. Have you ever thought that maybe it doesn't bother him and he sees it as very benificial to the team. Think of other scenarios besides the race card. I doubt it has anything to do with it considering the majority of the team is African American.
And maybe Ron Rivera wanted to go to San Diego. Saw the opportunity to be able and step up into a possible head coaching job with the loss of Marty. Or saw an actual chance at winning a Super Bowl with both a talented offense and defense. Who knows, but I highly doubt him being a Latino or Hispanic had anything to do with it.|||I don't know but the fact they haven't given him a new contract is fu****g ridiculous. Race or not, the man is a winner. Imaging what he could do with a good quarterback.|||I was going to answere your question, but I found your follow up comments ignorant, naive and offensive. If you are so damn smart, then figure it out for yourself. You can start by contacting Mike Ditka, and asking him the same question.|||I think someone is trying to set an example with their payroll and, I think someone is going to lose a good Coach.|||The Bears organization is historically cheap...They botched the whole McGinnis hiring (before Jauron) because they low balled him. I don't think it is a race issue at all. I am latino and I would have gotten rid of Rivera, the last two years in our losing game of the playoffs the defense has hurt us with their lack of adjustments at halftime.|||B/c i honestly don't think his coaching had as much to do w/ the Bears run this year as much as the D and the RBs. He didn't necessarily do any EXCELLENT coaching this year and race doesn't have sh*t to do with it. Quit your crying.|||hey first of all thanks for letting rivera go and coming to the san diego chargers. but, all nfl teams are businesses and they want to save as much money as possible. if they can get smith for a low cost they will. its not racism, trust me.|||I doubt race has anything to do with his contract. I understand your feelings but using simple logic if race were an issue with Bears management they wouldnt have hired Lovie in the first place. The Bears have historically paid at the lower end of the scale...Lovie knew this going in and he did sign a contract. Why do you think Ditka left? Bear management is cheap, being tight with a dollar could make them possibly another racial term? That would be very sad if somebody used a slang of any form so lets call it what it is....CHEAP!!!! I agree he has proven he deserves to be paid a lot better but on the other hand he didnt have to sign a bad deal in the first place (granted he probably doesnt get the job if he demands more but he isnt the first coach to go through the earn it before you get it situation). In the end he will get his financial due whether it is in Chicago or elsewhere. Rivera wanted out of Chicago (and Lovie said he wanted to go a different way....surely Lovie isnt any more a racist than the bears management), he felt his career was being stymied by being in the same place doing the same thing for so long. He has been a head coach candidate and believe me he is listening very closely to the input from teams interviewing him and realized he needed to work his craft with a different set of talent. it was very wise of him to go to S.D. and he is very aware that if the D does well he will be a candidate to take over a very good Charger team. Turner wont last long there, everybody in the NFL knows this...including Rivera. Lovie had more to do Riverawith leaving Chicago than the Bear management did, he did it to advance his career and instead of ripping Chicago be grateful he was given such a wonderful opportunity. It surprises me you would think something fishy is going on there, they have given minority coaches more opportunities than a lot of teams do and those very guys have capitalized on their situations. Sounds decidedly more like they have created opportunities, not stolen it from minorities.|||The Rivera firing was Lovie Smith's decision to go in another direction at defensive coordinator so I do not agree that the race card came into play as with Rivera. As for Lovie Smith, I really have the foggiest idea why Angelo is penny pinching. He got his team to the Bowl inspite of Grossman. Smith is the key to stability and contention for this team. Otherwise, with a "lame duck" coach, players and FA's on other teams will be less likely to sign with the Bears come 2008. Until then, there will be distractions and regressions for the 2007 Bears without a "Happy Lovie."|||Good thing that Lovie just got a huge raise. He is now the 10th highest paid coach in the NFL. Personally speaking I think they could have paid him an even 5 million per year, but Chicago is cheap.
Go Lovie.|||I would like to start off by saying that I don't think that this is motivted by race. The owners of the bears have history of being cheap with their coaches. They currently have the lowest paid staff in the NFL, not just Lovie. Second you should do a little research because if you did you would see that white people are not the highest paid people in the country. Asian people actually make $1.18 for every dollar a white male makes. I am not saying that this means racism does not exist I am just saying that there are people of color who make more than white people.|||The following is a link and the question that link will take you to and last, the answer that I gave to that question.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
How can Chicago Bear fans get the message through to the front office to show Lovie Smith the money!?!?
They鈥檙e probably waiting to see if he gets any other offers before they make him an offer.
They got him for a steal and if possible, want to keep him for a steal.
This question kinda relates to salary cap issue. You may want to respond to this question: Are you for or against the salary cap?
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
You have players you want to keep that help the team win and keep the seats filled and so many think that coaching doesn鈥檛 have that much to do with the player performance.
Maybe the Chicago owners and GM are of that ilk and think it more prudent to pay the player more instead of the coach(es).
Racism?
ItCOULD BE because he's black, but I seriously doubt it and prayerfully hope not.
Those that discussed the race issue have valid points on both sides of the argument, however, just in case you didn't understand what my previous statement is, I will restate it.
I believe it to be moreso that the Chicago Bear ownership and it's managerial consorts are just plain CHEAP.
In addition, they probably think that they can keep the same players or most of them and bring in new coaching staff that can take them back to the Super Bowl this upcoming '07-'08 season and win.|||Believe it or not, every bad thing that happens to black people is not due to racism. And I am one " white trash " person that is sick of hearing it. There would be a lot less racism in this counrty if everyone would stop making a big deal of it. The thought never crossed my mind that two black coaches were in the Super Bowl until everyone made a huge deal of it. I like and respect both coaches. If either acted like Buddy Ryan, I would have hoped they both lost. Stop playing the race card unless it is something that has some proof behind it. It is getting old. And what is wrong with finishing your current contract before being offered a new one?|||Yea I don't think race has something to do with it. If any other coach took a team to a Superbowl in his third year only 2 years after they were 5-11. He would instantly be given a nicer contract. Look at what happened to Art Shell in Oakland. What was he expected to do with that sorry disgruntled team. He took their defense from 27th to 3rd. Anyway Chicago is the team who will end up loosing out if they don't open up their wallets. Lovie is welcome anywhere in the NFL.|||Lovie's lack of a contract at this point has more to do with the really cheap owner and GM in Chicago. They have a history of trying to hold down coaching salaries. This same thing happened when Mike Ditka was the head coach in Chicago (he was white in case you are too young to remember).
As for Ron Rivera's situation, I believe if you do some checking, you will find that Lovie Smith made the decision to let him go rather than offer him a contract extention. So, this too had nothing to do with racism. That is, unless Lovie has a problem with Latinos, which I think is highly unlikely.|||i don't think that in THIS CASE race has anything to do with it...i'm not saying that there has never been a case where a coach did not get the job because of race, but in this particular situation i would highly doubt it...the bears don't want to pay because they are an exceptionally cheap organization, and they have been for their entire history|||I agree racism is still a huge part of the world today but I think it has more to do with the fact that Chicago is just cheap rather than his race or at least I hope thats the case. From what I hear Chicago has a history of not wanting to pay coaches top dollar. That may be why they lost so much before Lovie got there and why they will go back to their losing ways when he leaves.
kenfxds l
The problem is not that people keep "playing the race card". The problem is that racism does still exist and the fact that people keep denying that it exist ,does not help it go away. Unless you have every been stereotyped or discriminted against you probably wouldnt know. So instead of just shoving what people say to the side as if it is a bunch of B.S., you should listen because believe it or not some of them are telling the truth.|||It's not because of his race. Chicago is notorious for underpaying their coaches....Ditka being one and he's about as white as it gets. And as far as Rivera, his contract was up with Chicago and it was LOVIE SMITH who decided not to retain him on his staff. Not the organization, but LOVIE SMITH. All it was was a difference in the direction each coach wanted to take the team.
I hate it when people who are totally ignorant of what's going on with a team post a question like this. And even better, post a comment in their question calling white people "all you caucasians..". Isn't that being a bit racist you think?
Ironic to post a question complaining about "racism" (which I might add hasn't occured in this situation)....only to fill it up with racist comments. You're such a hypocrite.|||i dont think that it is because of his race. I mean, yeah, our contry does have some racial stuff still going on, but most of it is gone. I think that if they are not peying him enough, there is probably another reason|||It's not race, considering the team is in Chicago, known for its large population of African-Americans. There's always going to be a "lowest-paid" coach in the NFL. I think it's merely coincidence with Lovie Smith being in the Super Bowl. That and his religion might have something to do with it, his life goal isn't accumulating wealth, so he probably isn't pushing as hard for his worth.
Don't believe the lie that there is anywhere on the net to watch HBO PPV fights for free. Either pay for the fight or wait until the replay the following week. Just pay the 50 bucks and watch it at home. You'll spend more than that going to a bar after you pay a cover charge, eat, and have a few drinks.|||Luxbar

WGN (9) and WCIU (26) in Chicago show home Cubs games in Hi-Def, but away games in standard def. Why is that? When the Bears play away or home it gets shown in hi-def all the time.|||It is dollars and cents.
Only the Cubs and Sox home games are in high def. The reason why is it would take an additional crew to bring the road games, which means double the travel expenses. So they right now only show home games. This will probably change in a year or two as more and more channels are stations broadcast in high definition.|||For away games the feed comes from the other team. It may not be available.|||Because they are trying to save money to bring Arod to town next year.

The shows are free and I don't get paid for doing them. My grandpa takes me to the adutions and rehersals. My mom says that it wastes his gas and time. She doesn't think that it's worth it since I don't get paid. But I love it. I feel so alive when I am on the runway. I don't want to go against her but I love this. The Taste of Chicago show comming up will be my last one unless I find a way to talk her out of it. I really need help...Please?|||I would say that if you love doing what you do which is modeling, tell your mom everything about why you do. Then say "mom, its not like there wasnt something you loved to do when you were my age now was there?" or something like that.|||u don't, because ur mom knows best. although there are some mothers in this world who are jealous of their daughters
=(
have u told her how much you love this? maybe if u get a job and can pay for the gas etc. then u can go no matter what she says! best of luck to u, and be careful out there, use ur head and common sense, its not always a nice world.|||Have you told your mom how much you enjoy modeling? Maybe if you explain to her that you would maybe like to be a model someday and the only way to get discovered is to get out there and let people see you. It could lead to paying jobs later on. Do you help out around the house and get an allowance? Are you willing to give up some of your allowance to help pay for the gas? Are you willing to do small jobs like babysitting children in your neighborhood, and then give money to your grandpa to pay for gas? I think you should talk to your mom and see if you can do anything to help pay for the gas. When she sees you are acting responsible and it will also show that you are willing to help pay for the gas, I think she may give in and let you do it.|||i modle too! awsome. just do it behind her back , mabey i will see on the run way some day!!|||Are you under age? If you are then listen to your Mum.. you may not like what she has to say, but she is your Mum. If you are of legal age, then you do what you feel you must do for yourself. She may not like it, but it is your life.|||If you are under 18, then (and I know you don't want to hear this) you really shouldn't go behind your mom's back. HOWEVER explain it to her!!! Tell her how much you love this and how much you get out of it! Also, it could lead to some good exposure if you are considering modeling as a career.
Yes, the Tribune company owns WGN tv, WGN radio, and the Cubs.

http://antoonlinejobs.blogspot.com
For a long time ive wanted to own my own Bar/Pub I just graduated high school and got my bartending licence in a summer class. I plan to attend college in the spring and was wondering what major does this career choice fall under?|||Brian,
While there is no specific major you should/would need to take if you plan to own a bar, Business might be a good major to pursue. Furthermore, some colleges and universities have seperate minors or courses in entrepreneurship and those should be the classes you take. Entrepreneurs are those that start their own businesses, which is precisely what you are! In any case, business is probably the best major, but if the school you attend has a seperate major or concentration in marketing, you might want to take that as well. Then, you'll be able to figure out how to get the word out there about your pub!
Hopefully it turns out well for you!
Edit: Yes, restaurant management would be great, but most four year colleges and universities don't offer restaurant management, although a select few do. You'll have to search if you want to find a four year university with that field. I would suggest a B.A. in Business at least because that way if the pub does fall through, you'll have a degree to fall back on. You could always get a second job with a business degree too in order to keep the cash flow coming. If you have a degree in restaurant management (and I'm not even sure if you can get a B.A. in that) and the pub goes over...your kind of screwed.|||I would look into resturant management type of field. A straight up bar/pub is hard to maintain. Normally people incorporate food during the day, then drinking and bands at night. So it would be more important to understand the running of the resturant where they will also teach you how to run a bar.|||You need to major in general business with a specialization in entrepreneurship. You also need to take some finance classes, accounting classes, management classes, and some human resources classes. However, a general business degree in Entrepreneurship should cover all of these things.
Having some experience in Hotel and Restaurant management would be helpful too.
Good luck. Bars/nightclubs are a tough business. They go under quite often.
I've always wanted to become a bartender. I love mixing and making drinks, and my friends tell me I'm quite good. I've memorized a lot of recipes in my head. I'm 20 and will be turning 21 in 4 months. Anyone know of a good place to get a bartending license? I don't know much about the process other than I assume you need one to be eligible to bartend.
Also any tips on where to work/what to look in an employer and how to best market myself for the job?|||First of all, DO NOT waste any money on one of those "bartending schools" They can not teach you what you really need to know. I have been a bartender for 10+ years and what employers want is someone that adapts quick to their style of restaurant. I would figure out what type of bar you want to work at and start off as a barback. That is someone that is the right hand person for a bartender. Once you get a good feel for that, then you can approach your boss about being trained or moved up into that bartending spot. If the bartender you are working with likes you, chances are you have a great chance for advancement.
Also check out with your state what the liqour laws are. Make yourself familiar with them. For instance drinking age varies in diferent counties of diferent states. Some states bars have to close by 2am where in other states it is 4am. If you know these laws, employers will be impressed that you took the time and energy to be informed.
One last bit of advice-when you go to apply for a job or go for an interview, NEVER EVER wear jeans. You don't want to wear a suit or anything, but make yourself look clean and respectable!!
Good Luck|||skip those "bartending schools", what a waste of money ! check out www.totallyfreebartending.com for tips. you need to check out your state's specific requirements for tending bar. in my state you have to be 21, and TABC certified. a little experience in the restaurant industry might help also.|||find a bar/club you think you would like to work at and apply for bar porter[ helper] or buser,get your foot in the door, in your down time watch the bartenders ,help the bartenders,love your bartenders.over time you will get to make a few drinks and learn the skills nessesary. when a bartender leaves mabye you will be promoted,bartending is not about recipes its about customers. to 1bar1 its funny how the 2 people in the bar industry[me and you ] have so similar answers,truth is truth|||I bartended for 3 years. I got the job by hanging out at my favorite bar and putting in at least one application a week until they gave me a job working the door (being 6'6 and 250 lbs helped with that as well....). Then I jumped at the first chance I got to be behind the bar and never looked back. It was the best job I ever had. I wouldn't suggest going to a school to learn how to make drinks. They are mostly just a rip off (I know about 25-30 bartenders and none of them took a class). Most of the drinks I didn't know I learned on the job from one of the other bartenders I worked with. I would recommend working at a bar that you would want to hang out at. If you don't like your work enviorment you won't be happy with your work. Oh and if you're hanging out at the bar you want a job at make sure to tip at least $1 per drink.|||Big money in that...good luck...|||There are bartending schools that usually have leads for those who complete the course. It's a fun course and good for learning a lot of drinks, fast.
Restaurants, however, usually require you to start as a server then work your way up, no matter what experience you have.
Also, the age to serve alcohol varies from state to state - not all require you to be 21. Some do require a food handlers license. I started bartending in AZ when I was 19|||Most places will want you to have some sort of formal training and in that training you would get a license or certificate to serve alcohol here in Canada it is caled Serving it Right in the states I'm not sure what it is. Best to call one of the local colleges and ask if they offer a bartending course with certification or license to serve or check in your local yellow pages under bartending there may be a course that is offered.
Even though you are a mixer it doesn't mean you would know how to bartend right away. There are atleast 50 to 60 common cocktails that are made that you have to memorize
just to get licensed. Wait until you are legal age and check out the bars and see what they require for someone to bartend at the establishment just research but you still got 4 months so for now maybe get yourself a cocktail book and start learning on your own.
Good Luck and Best Wishes.
Sometimes it can work out for you if you just get in a restaurant and work your way up the ladder for now you could be a busboy or a dishwasher or possibly a host really let them know you are interested in bartending but will start wherever they have a position available. Like a lot of restaurants Bartending is almost like management postion you must work your way up. Make sure wherever you go they actually have bartenders because alot of places the servers make the drinks.|||You start out as a barback or a waiter and work your way into bartender. The more time you put in behind a bar, with good references, the more money you can make.
You can also go to www.bartendingcollege.com but that may not really guarantee you employment as a bartender.
Make a good impression on the bar/restaurant owner. Young, good looking, energetic, happy bartenders normally make the most money, but it will also help to be able to back it up with a quick knowledge of a wide variety of drinks.
Right now im a part time student at a community college, and I am jobless. I keep finding jobs at really lame places that pay very little; Starbucks & Hollister, just to name a few. Right now my parents are helping me with my bills & so is my roommate, but I really want to pay for my own bills. With the way my payments work I lease my car so I pay that, car insurance, gas, food, apartment rent, & utilities. Added up its just about $1100 a month I should be making. I dont mind working two jobs, because realistically its what I need to be doing. I've been thinking of working as a waiter during the day and going to bartending school to get a bartending license so I could bartend on weekends. Is that a good idea? What are other good jobs for part time students?|||You can make better money, considering your situation, by being a waiter at a restaurant such as Steak & Ale, Olive Garden, etc. The pay is essentially all tips, but if you do a good job, have a helpful, friendly personality you'll do ok. My cousin waited Tables at Steak & Ale and he made good money.
Four years ago, I moved from Moscow to New York. Now that I am eighteen, I am about to graduate from New York Film Academy acting program. Now that I have a decent resume (I have lots of foreign training, one off- Broadway play and student films from NYFA), I am planning on moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. After conducting some research, I made a decision to study with Ivana Chubbuck and M.K Lewis in order to further my acting abilities and make contacts. I am planning on attending seminars and doing showcases to meet theatrical agents and casting directors. I have 8,000 and a car with me and I want to support myself by being a bartender ( I am in a process of getting my bartending license). Is there anything I need to be aware of? Any kind of help will be appreciated.|||I'm an LA Actor giving you the REAL DEAL!
I don't agree with MK Lewis's book. It's outdated for he says to have black and white headshots and not color. In LA, you HAVE to have color or you'll get laughed out.
Most of students of Chubbuck studios never get to study with Ivanna, herself. You also DON'T get to work every week. You're lucky if you can work two weeks of the 4 weeks in a month.
Here's the cliffnotes version of what you need to succeed in LA:
1.EDUCATE YOURSELF FIRST!

6. Get an Agent
To get an agent, you need to get GREAT headshots, a good resume, and training from the best. These are enough to get you a commercial agent at least. Getting a GOOD theatrical agent (Film/tv) takes longer. Most good theatrical agents won鈥檛 see you unless you鈥檙e SAG, have a polished resume, and a demo reel. Commercial agents are more lenient about that. What the best Commercial agents want to see on your resume are good commercial classes, improv, and cold reading.
You can get an agent multiple ways. Here are a few common ways:
-Mail in an unsealed manilla envelope with a CONCISE coverletter and headshot with the resume stapled on the back. If you have a demoreel include that too.
-Attend a showcase and impress them. By showcase I do not mean scammy conventions like IMTA, IPOP, Proscout, or Best New Talent. I mean legit ones like at Actor Connection, Reel pros, Network Studios, etc.
-Get a referral from a friend who is with the agency that you鈥檙e interested in
DON鈥橳
-Email them unless they tell you to. IT鈥橲 UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Call unless they tell you to. ALSO UNPROFESSIONAL!
-Walk in and ask for a meeting. UNPROFESSIONAL THREE!
-Sign with them if they ask for upfront money, make you take new photos with THEIR photographer, or take THEIR classes. Agent鈥檚 ONLY make money when you do. Agents usually make 10% on film/tv and commercials and 20% on commercial print.

How do I go about suing this person? I am sick and tired of this night supervisor picking with me.I work as a nurse aide at a nursing home.
She wrote me up and suspended me claiming that I verbally abused a resident.
She didn't go about this procedure right at all.When a person is accused of verbally abusing someone, the supervisor is supposed to write the room number of the resident who is making the accusation.She didn't do that at all.There is no room number or resident name on this write up.And she didn't bother to investigate.
The union book says that in an event that an employee is accused of abuse, an investigation is supposed to be done.She didn't bother to ask the other nurses or nurse aides or even the residents if they saw or heard anything.She just went straight to a write up and suspension.
And she didn't list the room number of the resident who is making the accusation and this goes against company rules.The room number or resident's name is supposed to be listed.
This night supervisor has been harassing me since she became supervisor earlier this year and I am sick of it.She just finds stuff to gripe at me about.
She picks on me so much that I harm myself.I go into a resident's bathroom and I cut myself and pinch myself.She has picked on me so much that I have even felt like taking my own life.
I sometimes feel like drowning myself.
I feel like jumping from a building.
I came down ill in March because of her constant harassment.I was internally bleeding for a whole week.
I am still ill and it's now the month of May.
Tests are currently being run on me to make sure I don't have cancer.The doctor notices that I have been under tremendous pressure due to this night supervisor picking on me.
I have kept all the medical papers with diagnoses and why I was in the hospital.
I have this write up in my records.Its unfair.No room number or resident name which totally goes against company policy.And no investigation was conducted.She just went straight to write up.
She is trying to get me fired.
She got another nurse aide fired and moved from a floor.She is doing the exact same thing.
She just finds things to nitpick me about.
I have been quiet for too long.
Its time for me to take a stand like Rosa Parks did.
Its time that I speak out.
I also want to make sure that she doesn't do this to some other poor innocent girl or man in the future.She is abusing her power and I'm tired of it.
She singles me out.She picks on me in particular.
I find her behavior towards me creepy.I am very uncomfortable around her.I feel threatened.I feel raped.
She is even starting to appear in my nightmares.I wake up screaming and crying.
My health is just declining in some ways.I even have insomnia.I have a hard time staying asleep.I have been getting by on 2 to 3 hours of sleep.Its possible I may have cancer because of all the stress she has caused me.I internally bled for a whole week back in March due to the pressure she caused.I am still ill.
I have harmed myself because of her behavior towards me.
I even feel like taking my life sometimes because of her.
I will be filing a grievance against her.Union book says I can.So I will do just that.
I also want to take legal action.
How do I go about suing her?
Are attorneys available for college students with low paying jobs?
Something has to give.I want to nip this in the bud.
Talking to her doesn't work.
I am putting in my application for bartending positions since I earned my bartending license.I am trying to get out of the nurse aide field.
I am going to apply to other nursing homes too and if I land a nursing home job I will still fill out for bartending positions.I just want this supervisor to leave me alone.I am making my moves to leave this corrupt nursing home while I'm fighting this.
She is not in the right.
She has no right to supsend me without an investigation.She was supposed to ask the other nurses and nurse aides.She has no right to suspend me or write me up without leaving a room number or name of the resident making the accusation.There is no name or resident room number.No investigation was performed.This goes against union rules.
And she has been picking with me from day one she because supervisor and I'm sick of it.She constanly nit picks me and watches me.Its getting to be very creepy.I have nightmares about her.I have insomnia and don't get much sleep.My health is in jeopardy.
She's messing up my life and I'm tired of it.I want to take action.
How do I go about this?
How do I go about getting an attorney?
Are attorney's available for people with low paying jobs?
How do I go about fighting this?
I also want to make sure that she doesn't do this to some other innocent lady or man down the line.|||Very sorry this is happening to you. You can "fight back" by documenting.
Document everything you've said here, and include a copy of that write-up. Also include a Dr.'s statement. Then run to your union with your rulebook and show them your documentation.
She wrote you up without due process, thus violating union rules and procedure. Technically you're "innocent until proven guilty." She took it upon herself as "judge, jury, executioner." Wrong.
If after you've gone to the union and her harassments/intimidations/obnoxious behavior intensifies or increases in any way-keep documenting each incident on seperate paper, double space. Tell whoever's over her, and back it up with your documentations.
Hopelly the union will investigate your grievance by this time and they should advise you as to what further steps to take. Meanwhile, if nothing's resolved within a reasonable amount of time and she's still dysfunctional-still keep documenting, if necessary every day. HR's next and send copies to your union. The more you're harassed by her, the more you'll document, and the more it'll look bad on her.
If HR does nothing and this supervisor continues her toxic behavior-contact your union and ask them to refer you to an attorney.
I know it's easier said than done-but try not to let her get to you in such a way you'd consider suicide. Do that, and she "wins." Document, and she may get a subpoena to appear in court on charges of contributing to/causing a hostile environment-and believe me, no one likes getting a subpoena and docked a day's pay.
She started this. You can end it. Good luck.|||There is such a shortage of nurses, and CNA"s just quit and go elsewhere.

The RN is acting as a supervisor in this situation and thus this is a management problem. If the union will not help you out you need to make sure everyone knows and you can suggest you get a new union.|||your supervisor must have to report to someone-go to their manager and coolly and calmly tell your story. Also, if it is against union rules, don't you have a union rep to take this too? You will have to have very good detailed notes about specific instances where this supervisor has treated you poorly, just saying things like she picks on me won't do.|||The truth is going to hurt, and i wont sugar coat any of it. You need to get a back bone and take this to higher grounds. You let her do this by not taking actions. In a court of law, unless she personally harms you(minus emotions) there is little you can do. You need to talk to a higher per than she is. Plus may I add to the fact that you are so into this person and her actions towards you, that you intentionally hurt yourself, if you stated this to anyone, they will see you as an unstable person, regardless of the situation, and you will be the one to lose.
Letting someone dictate your emotional well being is a crime in it's self. 'WHY' would you do this. You are only hurting yourself. Make a claim against her, and take actions. You are looking like she has reason to correct you by hurting yourself, in cutting, pinching, and what ever else you may had done. That will not help you in any case. May i suggest you never state what you have done.
Write down everything she has done, down to the minute, Give it to a person in charge, and have them sign it, that you have made a complaint. If nothing is done after a few of those, you have right to sue the company, for letting it be a hostile work place. 'STOP' hurting yourself, what have you gained..nothing but scars.|||Did you verbally abuse a resident? You never said one way or the other. If you did, then her actions are totally justified, if not, then you can hire an attorney and sue her for slander/libel, but be prepared to prove your innocence. Why would a resident say you had verbally abused them in the first place? Is this someone who has a grudge against you for some reason? My Mom was verbally abused in a nursing home and she never recovered from it, it destroyed her mind so it is important for you to be honest about this, by all means, fight for your innocence, but if you really did this, then you need to pay for it. There are two types of people who have no defenses to cruelty, little kids and the elderly. My grandmother was beaten to death in a nursing home so I am very concerned about any abuse committed in one by anyone for any reason.|||Go and see your Human Resources Manager, he/she will guide you from there.

I am a 20 year old college student that am (finally) turning 21 this June. I am in DC for the summer and have a 9 to 5 summer internship, but was looking for a second job. I have always wanted to be a bartender, and in DC the legal age requirement is 21. So, I am almost there and would love to bartend like 3 nights a week this summer.
However, I have gotten different feedback about how to best become a bartender. I understand a lot of places require you to go to school and get a bartending license. However, others have told me that you can just appy to a restaurant or bad and they will then train you. How should I proceed with this? look to try to find a bartending course to do? or look for individual bars to contact?
Thanks very much. any feedback would be appreciated|||be careful with bartending schools. find out what their job placement is like before you commit to one. Honestly the best way is to start as a barback only took me 6 months to get a promotion. can be less if bartenders get fired. try to get in good with the managers and always show interest, take extra tasks, be ahead of the game.|||well i would suggest bartender school my friend attended one down here in CT and now she works at a bar in NY and makes real good money! im looking to go to bartender school sometime in the next year as well...hope this helped:]|||if you have no experience try starting out as a bar back, and learn all you can. bar tending schools are a rip off
Ok, this may seem stupid, but oh well... I want to become a bartender in a couple of months but I don't know if I can or if I fit the profile for the job. I'm only 18 years old. I want to bartend because I really need the money for college, and I think tips will get me further than an hourly wage. I know I can get the Wisconsin Bartending License for $25.00 online. The thing is, I was never Mr. Popular in HS and also I'm not someone with a smiley face on 24/7 (and that doesn't mean that I'm angry or sad) I do however have really good customer service skills and I'm very attentive and would notice if someone hasn't gotten their drinks yet. I also think I can learn a lot of bartending tricks that would help me as well. I'm also really tall and skinny and gangly looking. I don't know if their is a specific profile or if my age will hurt me, or my tall/skinnyness, etc.|||There are really two ways that I know of to get into bartending. The first, already mentioned, is to go to a bartending academy. It's a relatively short course, and generally not too expensive. It's a good thing to do, as you don't want to be looking up how to make a "Surfer on Acid" while there are people waiting on you.
The other way to go is to be a barback for a while. These are the dudes you see running around, filling the ice, and occasionally popping beers for people if it's busy. It's a good way to get experience and see what the whole scene is like before committing to bartending classes. It doesn't pay much, but it's working experience.
In my opinion people don't care about your personality when you're behind the bar. They just want their drinks fast. The most important thing to have a is a good memory. Which of those 10 people with their wallets out was here first? When some drunk chick says "I want another!" will you be able to remember what she was drinking, or do you have to waste time trying to get her to tell you?
Just my $0.02. Good luck, kid. |||Well first of all, you need to take bartending classes.
Though even after that you'll have a hard time finding a job because your 18. Even though bartenders are not allowed to drink, they prefer people of legal age 21. |||Well, watch the movie "Cocktail" with Tom Cruise; just dont get a girl pregnant! LOL IDK if I wanted to b a bartender I would watch that movie for inspiration!|||By being sexy. :-)|||it is hard to get a job as a bartender, most busy restaurants/bars will require you to be a waiter, busser, or bar back first. alot of states won't allow people under 21 to tend bar. 80% of your tip as a bartender is going to be based on your personality, how you handle, speak, and entertain the customers. when you are a bartender you are always on display- constantly in front of your customers. waiting tables is good money ( i average more than 17 an hour) and most places will hire you with little or no experience, this is a good way to get into the food industry and make money for college.
I know you need to know every drinks off the top of your head. But if I wanted to become a Bartender , what skills do I need ? I'm 18 & I'm taking a year off, then I'm applying to a Bartending school in Boston to get my Bartending license . But I wanna know more about it. I know I have what it takes to be a Bartender , but I need to know the skills . I been mixing drinks all summer , and I pretty much know a lot , weather whats the drinks are called , or smell like . If you know a lot about Bartending , can you please help me and tell me what do I need to know to be a Bartender . Thank You ..|||I went to Boston Bartending School in Dracut, MA in December. Very reputable place. They do a special for under $300 for a 4 day class. The new owner and instructor Mike is fantastic. He will teach you most everything about Vodka, Tequila, Gin, Whiskey, Rum, Triple-Sec and how to mix alcohols. They have a full fake bar you just practice mixing and study with each other. He tells you the most important thing to practice is to "Keep people Sitting, keep them Smiling, and keep them Sober." You will leave there with serious confidence on mixing drinks. I never knew a thing about alcohol before taking that class. All you need to do is pay attention and be a people person! Now you can name a drink and I'd remember it because of how much fun they were to learn in class. Go for it!! you receive a book, certificate of accomplishment and a Bartender ID. Also, bartending is always good $$$ on the side :)|||Make good cocktails
I am very seriously considering getting my bartending license. I would like REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE of people who have bartened.
What would you suggest? Part time Full time?
Club or Restaurant?
What kinda pay would I be looking at. ex. 1-2 nights 2-300...idk anything from your own experience.
Where would I want to work for the best experience?
Ofcourse its a job but is it atleast kinda fun?
What are the perks? free drinks for me? free drinks for my friends?
Is it annoying or unlike any other job since your customers are Tipsy and feeling good.
ANY AND ALL TIPS PLEASE would help...what to do, where to work, where to get license? where to go to school for it? how often should i work.
I guess I keep thinking of how it is work but also its kinda fun and interesting I'm hoping. And if my friends come can I hook them up on drinks? getting in for free....please ANY AND ALL TIPS...THE MORE HONEST THE BETTER THANKS.
EASY 10PTS FOR MOST HELPFUL ADVICE.|||Wow okay....
Full time if you need the money, part time if you just wanna do it for kicks.
I would recommend a bar or a restaurant over a club. It is personal preference, but in clubs it's very loud and packed and hot. I don't like it. I'd go to a semi-busy bar.
For pay you will make server minimum wage, which in Canada Is $8.90 an hour. Tips will vary. Once you get your own regulars, you will get tipped better. Totally depends on your personality, skill level and the clientel. Anywhere between $50- $200 a night.
I enjoy my job. Some people don't. Depends on if you're having fun and staying positive and if you have good customers and coworkers. I think it's fun.
I highly highly doubt that you or your firneds will get free drinks. Especially your firneds. So don't go in thinking that. Your boss may buy you a drink once in a while but thats about it.
It can be annoying if you have drunk obnoxious or rude customers. But just like any job it has a downside.|||I worked in a club and liked it b/c I'm not the greatest at sitting down and chatting w/ anyone about anything. In 'bars' the bartenders tend to have opportunity to do that more, for example if someone arrives before their party, they have no one else to chat with. You may like that though. I worked in a bar briefly that served appetizers as well, and I felt like I was a server all over again. So I loved the clubs.
People tipped lager in the bar, but at clubs, the more I moved the more I made. Downside? We pooled tips so you are only as strong as your weakest link. Other downside of clubs? People buy rounds so you don't exactly see who becomes too drunk to drive, and it's too hard to cut someone off if you don't see them for a while. At bars, I could offer food and cut them off while keeping an eye on them somewhat. Bar pro: I did feel a better sense of family at the bar, and the regulars did like me b/c I had their drinks memorized. Club con: I was not as 'cute' as some of the other girls, and man I feel like they felt I had to worship them or something, LOL so it gets kind of clique-ish.
Both jobs were great fun & I met a lot of great people.. I'd say for every 10 minutes of fun, it's 10 equal minutes of hard work. BUT if you like it, it really doesn't feel like work. I took pride in keeping a clean bar & when we got A+ on the health dept. inspections, it made people happy to come back.
Best tip I got on my first day: When someone orders a BIG order (like 10 shots) get the money FIRST. Then pour.
Best tip I learned on my own: ALWAYS repeat the amount of money people hand you, even if it appears they are not listening. So if it's $10 total, and they hand you a $10 say: "Out of $10??" and they usually nod yes. This avoids mistakes of "but I handed you a $20! where is my change" kind of B.S. that people WILL pull on you.
I took a mixology seminar to learn the art of drinks and proportions, then applied at a few new bars opening around town. Got a job due to my serving experience (which I hated) and wow it was sloooow till it picked up, but as the bar gained regulars, I was gaining speed. Other bartenders I know worked their way up in the establishment. Have fun & remember to smile :)
I have an associate's degree in liberal arts with a political science focus. I am about to move back to New York City and continue attending school full time. I need to work also.
I have a bartending license and at least 1.5 years experience both in food service as well as retail.
I would prefer to work in my field - however, I am worried that the hours required would not be flexible and amiable to my school schedule.
I imagine this is why most working students are employed in the retail and food service industries.
Where can I search for student friendly paid opportunities in my field in NYC? What kind of things does my degree really qualify me to do?|||Since you have a bartending license and about 1.5 years experience both in food service as well as retail, please continue in the same line !!!!|||You could work for a law firm as a receptionist or assistant. Law firms have been known to help pay for school too. Good luck.
I'm 15 right now, I know I need to be 16, but when I am, how do I convince my parents to let me do this? My parents want me to become like a doctor ( and no, I'm not Indian), but I want to become a bartender. It's my dream job, I'll work hard at it, and it makes good money. It requires no high school diploma, just a bartending license and skills. Don't tell me not to drop out, I WANT TO AND I HAVE A PLAN. School is completely useless and you learn no real values for life. Just help me out on how to bring up the subject.|||do some research online and show your parents a business like plan.
Find out the average wage of bartenders. Show the cost of getting the license to become a bartender.
Compare that with the cost to become a bartender and the average license.
Another concern your parents may have is the social status of a bartender vs. a doctor. Bartenders do have more problems with unsavory and criminal characters. They may have a point if they believe it's difficult to avoid that lifestyle in this particular career. If you can find proof that a bartender can have a respectable life that would help.
In the end - with something well thought out - at least your parents might be softened by the notion that you considered their thoughts enough to find an answer to their views.|||I would just come straight with your parents and tell them what you just have told me. I know it's probably not the best way but one way or another they are going to have to face it. I don't know your parents but after reading your plan..I doubt they would let you drop out of school to become a bartender. So the best way is to tell them what you want to do. BUT please listen to me and I know you won't but i would consider going on with school. Even though you want to be a bartender there is no harm in continuing your education! I promise you that you will end up regretting it when you get older!|||You are totally right about school. But unfortunately there are so many snobs like the ones here, who will put you down for not doing the conventional thing. (The internet is, as you now know from all the put-down comments here, a bad place to get support.) You should probably test your parent's reaction first, and ditch them if they are unsupportive.|||Wow! You are very inspiring to me =D My only wish is to get the F-U-C-K away from school too! I know this isn't an answer to your question but I wish you the very best of luck!|||Listen, bartending will not get you all the things you'll want out of life. You may think it will, but it WON'T. This isn't the 1950s. You will not have a comfortable lifestyle without a high school diploma unless you make it as some kind of entertainer. The job market is tight, and many places will even pass on high school graduates because they prefer someone with a degree, even if its some crappy job. And think about it, you've been going to school for around twelve years and you have two or three left. If you've been spending your life going to school and trying to complete your education, why don't you just suck it up and do it since you have the opportunity to do so? I understand that you don't think you learn anything so you don't have to be there, but you absolutely need that piece of paper that says you graduated to have a decent life. And don't think I don't know how you feel, I graduated from high school early because I hated it so much. I really don't want to go to college for eight years, but I'm going to do it because I refuse to screw up life. You're fifteen, hate to say this but you don't know sh*t about money and working. Get out of your fantasy world and see how far bartending will get you if you want to do it so bad.|||You can't get your bartending license, or a job as a bartender, until you are age 18. So what do you plan to do from age 16 to age 18? You need to have a realistic plan in place, or else when you talk to your parents, there is no way you won't get shot down. So what do you plan to do during those years?
Since you'll have a better chance of getting one of the really good bartending jobs if you're polished and have a good look, you may want to start working on that now. Pay attention to things like fashion, and work out so that you're in decent shape. I'm not telling you to go and try to look like a model; but you want to be the best you that you can be. In addition, work on your communication skills. Being able to engage people can be pretty important as a bartender, and certainly will help you find jobs. Finally, if you can get a work permit now (or do this once you're 16), get a part-time job in a *good* restaurant or club, which has a solid bar. You'll probably be a bus-boy or similar, but that's not the point. The point is that you'll gain exposure to a top end restaurant and bar, and that'll be invaluable to your future career.
Do this even if you have to stay in school. In fact, talk to your school about their work/study or co-op options. If you have to stay in school, see if there isn't some way you can make it work *for* you. A co-op or work/study, where you go to school in the mornings and then leave and work for the afternoons, might help make the school experience a bit more palatable. In addition, see if you can't focus your classes on your future career - take things like math, business, communications; get involved in things that work the skills you need as a bartender, such as volunteer work that deals directly with people, or the campus radio station, etc. So that if you have to stay in school, at least you're doing something that's related to your future career.
If you do decide to drop out, get your GED. Thing is, you probably won't be a bartender when you're aged 55; so having at least a GED can help you get promoted within the bar world.|||Damn tommy, you seem to have figure out life.... and a such a young age. Anyways, since you are so ready to take on life the first thing you need to do is to talk to your parents: then they will tell you that YOU NEED TO BE 17, 18, or 21 IN ORDER TO WORK AS A BARTENDER (depending on what state you live) and they will crush your dreams of becoming a bartender.
Sorry buddy but unless you runaway, get spelled, or simply kill your parents, you have a 99.9% chance of not getting out of school. (if you get spelled, or kill, you might end up serving cocktails to men only.... FRUIT COCKTAILS ;)
Stick to school till you graduate, then become a bartender, high school is required and you should finish it up.
Btw it does teach you some life values, like MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES IN SITUATIONS, something you seem to not know so far.|||I don't know how you go about getting a bartending license, but would it be possible to do part time while still at school, or maybe during summer break? That way you could stay at school a bit longer (to please your parents) while still working towards what you want to do. You may have an easier time getting them to allow you to drop out once you have the qualification. They are also less likely to get angry about you getting the qualification if they think there is still a chance you will become a doctor. In a way this would only delay the argument, but when you have it, I think your case will be stronger.
Edit: What about skills? Is there some form of training that you can do BEFORE obtaining your license? I understand not liking school - I hated it, couldn't wait to get out. But if you can't do anything useful towards your goal in the intervening time then I think it is best to stay at school. I'm all for dropping out if that enables you to achieve what you want, but I'm not so sure about it if you are going to muck around till you can get the license. So what's the plan? - that is a very important point that you will have to discuss with your parents anyway.
I work as a nurse aide at a nursing home.
This nurse became the supervisor for the night shift, which is the shift I work. Nastacia(changed her name) is letting the title of supervisor go to her head. She gets away with so much because the main boss is close to her and because her sister has a position in the office at the nursing home.
She nitpicked me so bad last week that I have an infection and I am bleeding internally.I am on antibiotics and cannot come off until later this week.She nitpicked me so badly that I cried for 4 hours while caring for my patients and then I started bleeding vaginally later that night and it wouldn't stop so of course I went to the doctor.I am doing the treatment to get better.
Last night she tried to nitpick me.One of the nurses from the 2 to 10pm shift spilled milk used for feeding tubes.The stains were dried up.It is the housekeeping department's job to clean up dried spills.
She saw the spill and just automatically assumed that it was still liquid and blew the whole thing out of proportion like she normally does petty stuff. Then she said "When yall see a spill yall could wipe it up." all nasty. She tried and it didn't come out.That's what her **** get for assuming it was liquid.She walked off.
I had to keep my cool because I was about to explode and ask "Look what is your problem with me?!
I need my job.I am currently searching for a better job.I earned my bartending license so I am looking to get out of the nurse aide field and be a bartender through the remainder of my time here at the university until I earn my teaching degree.
Nastacia just torments me and my coworkers.She finds things to nitpick about.
She already nitpicked me to the point that I cried for a long time and to sickness, and she tried it again last night.
And then I asked her for isolation bags because there were none and she got all attitudinal and said "I told yall we don't have any bags.I can't give you what I don't have.Go to another floor and take some bags from them."
Its not what you say, its how you say it and never once did I say that she had to give me what she didn't have.I asked a simple legitimate question.My coworkers were upset at the way she said it too.I had to walk off because I was about to snap on her miserable butt.
How should I tell her to cool it with nitpicking me?
She has one more time to nitpick me and I am going to go into one of the residents' bathrooms and start cutting myself or pinching myself until I'm black and blue.I can't take this! Her nitpicking is tearing me apart mentally.She has one more time and I am probably going to end up hurting myself.I'm going to scratch myself, cut myself, or pinch myself in one of the resident's rooms.I feel like just breaking down if she picks at me one more time.
How should I tell her to back down?
And telling the director of nursing is out of the question because the DON is close to her.She gets away with a lot just because she's close to the DON and because her sister has a position in the office.
I'm on the edge here.|||you sound a bit nutty with the cutting
but smile and say in your head
when i get another job i will let you know in front of the DON what a miserable pain you are
how ever i would in writing complain to the hr department about her harassment

normally its not easy to get a nurses aid out of the air
they cant sack you for formally complain
but make it in writing , make it formal
companies have a duty of care|||Tell your supivisor|||i never been trough this kind of situation but i can tell you its againgst the law to harass somebody. I think what you should do is have some other workers who are bully also who worked with the lady write letters wothout puttingng thier names of course and you should write one to and then you should mail them to main boss whithout you guys name. IF you dont want to get your co-workers to write letters then you write a letter saying everything that you seen her do and what she does to you and mail it. But i should tell you more than one letter is going more persuasive than one. In the letter you said how this person attitude is making you sick and not allowing you to work to your full pontentiall. Also make sure you especifically put in your letter that if this problem can not be resolved you are going to take seek legal remedies. IF you get to that point you are going to have to get legal help but i think that women need a lesson
p.s keep copies of the letters so you can have proof you tried to resolve the problem
What tips would you be able to provide for my family for moving out of state? We plan to stay in the San Diego area.
We don't plan on moving until our lease is up on November 1st. My husband and I, and our 2 kids, plus my friend and his friend will be finding a large enough house to rent, hopefully under $2000/mo. (I have found some places listed on craigslist that are nice, but it's too soon to start looking)
I know the basics of moving, but out of state seems like more work. One of my children will be starting 1st grade in September, so she will have to transfer schools 1-2 months after starting. Not what I wanted, but we would lose out on money if we moved before our lease was up.
I have been in the hospitality field for almost 4 years, however, I plan to get a bartending license before moving, because I thought it would be fun to try and it would be a great way to meet new people. My husband currently works for Boeing, making great money. He is unable to transfer, so he will need to find new employment. Our friends work in the dental and labor field, so hopefully it won't be hard for us to find jobs.
What suggestions do you have for us to plan our move efficiently? Should I send my husband over ahead of time to view houses/jobs? How much should we save? Anything else?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!|||Your husband has a great job and you are moving to another state (with a horrible economy and onethat has NO jobs) without another great job lined up?

I started looking for a second job on Craig's List etc. but so far there are only a few sales (not good at that) positions, and a phone sex operator. My skills are pretty much in office work etc. and I do have my bartending license, but my husband (wish he'd get a second job but no) has asked me not to bartend because I get really depressed at all the drunks grabbing me and hitting on me etc. What should I look for that would work me a couple of nights and maybe weekends?|||www.prepaidlegal.com/hub/jwilliams21 watch the video. it'll answer all of your questions.

Want to know what it is I do send me a reply.
Okay I'm from Texas and I start college in Manhattan in the fall, and although it may be best, I'm not going to live on campus. I have my reasons. But anyways, I know for a fact my parents are going to send me a little money per month, somewhere between $200-$400 (more than likely closer to $200 than $400 lol). And I turned 18 a few months ago and got my bartending license and completed my classes ;) so I plan to get a job at a bar or some club, and I've heard they can make quite a bit. But I'm going to have classes most days and I don't want to work every day/all hours of the night! But I just want to know what neighborhoods AND what apartment complexes in those neighborhoods would be best for a young 18 year old female going to school. I've looked on the internet but I can't ever find anything! And I live about 1500 miles from New York so it's not very easy for me to just pick up and go apartment hunting anytime, especially because I'm a senior in High School and usually have class lol. So...Help?...Anyone?.. :)|||It all depends on how much money you can spend on rent and where your college is located. Do you want to live alone or with roommates?
I suggest you start checking out apartments for rent and shares on www.craigslist.org to get an idea on prices. This will probably limit your search tremendously. A studio aparment in Manhattan will cost at least $1400/month. You could probably find a share in Brooklyn or Queens for $600-$800/month.
You can make lots of money bartending/waitressing in NYC, but keep in mind you will be competing for jobs with all of the other college students, actors, muscians, recently laid off people, etc. out there....all who either know somebody and/or have taken bartending classes.
I went to college in Manhattan, and personally I feel that you should live on campus for the 1st year if possible. |||My friend, that is plenty of info to digest. May I suggest the links below will be very helpful.
Good luck
Native New Yorker|||I'm sorry but you're not going to find anything bigger than storage space for 200 dollars in new york. Even 400 would be too little.. It would be more realistic to look around 550 with a roommate or two or three. gosh.. you're better off living in the dorms till you are more comfortable and well versed in new york living.
I'm a 19 year old from Toronto,Canada who wants to move to the U.S. I'm specifically trying to move to Florida, where my father and most of my other relatives on his side live.My main question is could I work at a bar/club until my father starts sponsoring for me? I have my bartending license and just wanted to know my options. Is there a special visa I could go on until he files for me? Or if working in the U.S. is totally out of the question could I stay with him for six months return to Canada for the summers and go back to the U.S.? I ask because I know there is a law that states Canadians can stay in the U.S. for up to six months at a time. So would immigration in both Canada and the U.S. give me a hard time for going back and forth?|||You can't work. You can go back and forth, just don't work. If you get caught working you'll really mess up your father's attempt to get you a green card.|||Check out this link on the US Government's main web site.

Okay, so silly question time.
Do you HAVE TO taste test drinks when you get your bartending license?|||No, you don't have to taste drinks.
Most states require that restaurant servers and bartenders get an "Alcohol Server's Permit". To get the permit, you have to take a class and pass a test. The class teaches you about the laws associated with serving alcohol, how to deal with drunk customers and how to check ID's, etc. It has nothing to do with tasting drinks. I think you're getting that confused with the certificate you get when you pass bartending school (which is a waste of money in my opinion). The bartending school deals with teaching people how to make drinks.
The two are not the same or interchangeable.. You have to have the state "Alcohol Server's Permit" in order to work in a bar or restaurant. The bartending school certificate is optional.|||No. But you should try them anyway. Every little helps.|||no|||I have no knowledge of the US bartending licence, but I would assume no.
However, I would seriously reccomend against becoming a bartender if you don't enjoy and appreciate alocoholic beverages... you can't be good at and enjoy something you're not passionate about.
Good luck.|||No just know how to make them....|||No, but its important to know what your selling. How are you gonna suggest drinks to indecisive people with out knowing how they taste? If you don't know how your drinks taste you will be a bad bartender plain and simple.
basically some guys told me to go get a referee card for volleyball cause it makes a good bit of money and others say i should pay the 700 dollars to get a bartending license cause it too makes alot of money. is this true, im in college and i NEED money|||My younger son worked as a "bar back" while he went to college. He was not a bartender, and needed no license. He was paid minimum wages and got a share of the tips from the other bar staff.. He did not get rich, but it's a paying job, if you can find one.

I'm in the process of getting my bartending license as a part time job while I'm in school and a friend of mine really discouraged my plans by saying there is no money in bartending as a male,yeah obviously females make more on tips etc, which is clearly a given but is his idea on that true? he talks as if he has done it which he hasn't but he really has me questioning it. Even though he is saying that I think it would be a pretty cool pt. time weekend job.|||I disagree that women make more money bartending. If you have a great personallity and can make conversation about just about anything with anyone, you will make great money. If you love golf, try to get a job bartending at a country club; if you love sports in general, get a job working at a sports bar. If you can talk finance with the best of them, get a job working at a high end restaurant that caters to the business crowd. The people you're talking to are talking about guys going to college bars or booby bars.
Believe it or not, we are not living in the 1950s anymore. Women actually have jobs, make money, and pay for their own drinks. Just because the guy's paying the bill doesn' mean he decides what to tip...having worked in the restaurant business my entire life, I appreciate good service, and I tell my husband what to leave the server/bartender, regardless of their gender.
AND I take exception to the comment that a monkey can make a drink. People who know their liquor appreciate a well made cocktail. I had the most disgusting Cosmo at a pizza place last night....I guess Bill Lumburgh must have been working there.|||First off, don鈥檛 listen to your friend. There is money to be made in bartending as a male along with a great lifestyle if you choose to do it full-time and professionally.
It is very difficult to get your fist job as a bartender, but don鈥檛 get discouraged. Apply, apply, apply, interview, interview, interview. Eventually you will land a job even if its at a slow place like a Red lobster (I've worked there). Red Lobster is not the party bar atmosphere and usually the servers make more than the bartenders. But once you get your experience in, its easier to get a job at a better restaurant or a club, or wherever. Also in a lot of places you split the tips between all bartenders, and it could be true that on average people will tip a female bartender more than a male, but guess what, you get part of her tips just like she gets part of yours.
As far as bartending professionally, you have the advantage of working wherever you want, so that means in the summer you work at the beach and in the winter you go back home. Every year! Not only that, male bartenders usually stay in the field longer than females. How many times have you seen a 40+ year old female behind the bar, now how many times have you seen a 40+ male bartender. I've seen TONS more of the latter.
And to the person who says a monkey can pour a drink, well your right! But guess what, a bartender is a lot more. No one can teach you to be a bartender; they can only show you the right way to pour a drink. Can a monkey memorize a thousand plus drinks? A real bartender knows his/her customer, what they like, how much of each ingredient to make the perfect drink, what garnish to put, how to make the drink look amazing. You have to have a great personality!
All in all being a bartender is fun and the money can be great. Good luck and don鈥檛 forget APPLY AND INTERVIEW NON STOP! The most important thing is to sell yourself, don鈥檛 dwell on the experience. There is a reason why some ads for bartenders say "Experience a plus, but with the right personality we can train."|||Yeah..i think they would make more tips. I went to bartending school myself and had a hard time trying to find work doing it. Most places only hire if you have experience...which is pretty retarded considering a monkey could make and pour drinks. And it seems like alot of bars only hire females. Alot of your Applebees and places like that hire dudes though.|||My friend Jason works as a bartender currently and makes decent tips. I just got hired as a bartender with no experience on my first interview with Red Lobster! Don't know what to expect but Jason said "You have boobs, you'll be paid". lol I don't know if you can show skin there, I think you have to wear a button down shirt and all that. I give male bartenders better tips if I feel like they are interested in me, FYI. And don't let your friends bring you down, they're just haters!|||you'll make plenty on tips as a bartender. go for it.|||this is 100% false. yes it is harder to actually get a job as a bartender being a male, but once you're in, you'll make the exact same money as a female.
bartending is an amazing job. just dont get discouraged if you cant find a job right away.
I was considering getting my bartending license in PA....would it be worht the trouble? What are the pros and cons of a bartending job? How much do you make on average?|||Bar tending is sweet. you make a flat hourly wage plus on average a dollar a drink, and many times more. say you serve out 100 drinks in one night, (on average it will be more than that on a weekend), that's nice. also a lot of places have bar backs. so all you gotta do is flip drinks. no keg lugging no dish washing, sure you gotta clean up the bar but that's ain't bad. one catch though, going to bar tending school does not guarantee you a job. most place make you work up to it.|||dont waste ur time and money for those classes...
get in as a bar back somewhere...learn the drinks AND get paid for it...
i just happened to get into it as a step up from cocktail waitress...
most peiople i have ment who have exceeded in the field started that way..
most places wont hire u with only school experience..they want to see that u have experience in the bar industry...
bar bajs can make anywhere between 30-70 bucks a night PLUS hourly..which here in florida is 4.75 for tipped employees...
as far as money goes for bartending..the bar i work at now (which is dead most of the time and is probably on its way out) i still make about 500 a week (thats including my 80-100 dollar weekly paycheck)
i support me..my 2 kids..my sis and her kid on 4 days at my job..without any gov assistance..so i would say thats a decent living
the bar i was at before was a little busier and i made about 200-250 a night there...could raked em em big..but i stuck to 3 days a week there
so yea...theres money to be made...good luck

Don't waste your money on classes or bartending school, ever.

A.) I am currently a bartender in a state that doesn't require me to have a bartenders license. If I stay in this state, would it be worth my while to get a license anyway?
B.) If I do decide to move does anyone know what the best credentials are for a good bartending school? Like do they need to be certified by some certain governing body?
C.) If I do decide to get my bartending license, do you think it would be better to go to an actual physical school, with a physical location and teachers, or to take the online route, and pay a whole lot less money and still get the license (remember I already have on the job training)?
Thanks and happy drinking!|||Bartending schools are a waste of time and money. There is no state that requires any kind of schooling for bartenders. You may need to get certified by the state liquor board in order to serve alcohol, but that is only to help you identify people who have consumed too much - it has nothing to do with learning how to make drinks. The best experience and training for bartenders is on-the-job experience. Don't waste your money. I guarantee the diploma from a bartending academy will not help you in the least when it comes to finding a job.|||I did go to bartending school and I have been a bartender for over 7 years and NOT ONCE has anyone ever asked me if I had a certification! And I do have one! I dont think its a must have anywhere! Maybe in some of the very fancy places it might give u the edge on getting the job. BUT I see the schooling as a total waste of time and money. 60% of it is how to deal with customers. And either u can do that or u cant! U either have it or u dont! It cant be TAUGHT! Good luck to u|||I am a former bartender and a lawyer. As far as I know, no state requires proof of any educational degree, such as a "mixology degree" or the like, in order to tend bar. I believe some states have requirements that a bartender attend periodic seminars on responsible serving, how to prevent your customers from driving drunk, etc. Depending on where you work, your employer may even host such seminars for insurance or regulatory reasons.
I did attend bartending school in college, but I did so because I wanted to get a good bartending job out of the gate and I had no prior experience. I was glad I took the class because by the time I started work, I could do a perfect 3-count free pour and knew over 300 drink recipes. If you are already a competent bartender from work, there is no need at all to pay for bartending school.|||I've bartended for a pretty long period of time...and never went to a bartending school. Most of the bartending school bartenders that i've known know a lot of recipes...but they don't know how to bartend. THey are typically far too slow..and too wrapped up in getting things perfect...rather than making drinks. I don't know about bartender licenses.....you don;t need one in any state i've worked in (Fl., Pa., NJ).....and I think you might be confusing a bartending license with a school bartending certificate. I think bartending school is a waste of time and money. Don't bother. If you do need a license...get it the cheapest and fastest way that you can. If you;ve already bartended...why do you need to go to school for it? Bartending is easy...it;s just a matter of getting to know your bar...taking care of your customers.....and getting your service bar out reasonably quickly. I don't know of any bartending school certifications either.|||in RI, a bartender needs to be TIPS certified (training to be able to tell how intoxicated someone is) but no licensing.

Would getting this be any use to me?|||No, you do not need a bartending license. Restaurants and bars need them to be able to serve alcohol (liquor license) but it is not necessary to have one if you are just going to be bartending. The legal age to bartend in the US is 21, but you might be able to find a job as a barback. Basically you help the bartender. I did this in a restaurant when I was 18. Good luck, I hope you enjoy it here. Cape Cod is very nice.|||you have to be 21 to be a bartender in the states. I know in CA (I'm in Los Angeles) you don't need a bartendeing license. In fact they are a waste of money. I know corporate owned restaurants like their servers/bartenders to have TIPS training, but a license is not required. Unless a specific company is asking for one.|||Hello. Wow, that would be cool if you could land a job bartending since you have the experience. First off, you only need to be 18 in MA. Second, no license required. However, you might have to take a course called TIPS which is a very simple course on serving responsibly. Many establishments require this simple course because it lowers their liability. It costs around $40 and it can be taken online. If not taken online it's a 3 hour for 2 days course. So you can see it's very easy. At any rate, you have experience and that's what managers and owners value over any piece of paper. I know. I'm was one of them for 20 years! Good Luck to you! http://www.EarnBiggerTips.blogspot.com
I was looking up Colorado bartending licenses online last night and just got confused in it all. I'm just confused as to what I need, what would be beneficial in order to be hired, and what people are using just to get money. Any other tips would be great too.
Thanks|||DON"T go to bartending school, a total and complete waste of time and money, and all it really does is give you a worthless piece of paper that FALSELY proclaims that you're now a qualified bartender, which these graduates are anything but. And I am endlessly stunned by the haughtiness and holier-than-thou attitude displayed by your average bartending school graduate. HELLO!!! It's not like you've earned a college degree here! It's not like you're now intellectually on par with a rocket scientist. I can't count the number of times I've watched a "graduate" get behind the bar for the first time, and wind up getting totally smoked and snuffed by the patrons and onslaught of a moderate sized crowd, all while begging me for answers to "how do you make this drink" or "how do you make that drink"?. Stop wasting my time dammit.
First, get a job as a barback and look, listen, and learn. Or, for a female, cocktail waitressing is another easy way to gain experience, especially if your bartender is willing to teach you a bit, plus, as a barback or cocktail waitress, instead of wasting your money on a completely worthless certificate whose value is only one grade up from toilet paper, you'll be earning a decent income as you learn. While on the job, absorb as much information as you can from the bartenders you are working for, and ask questions, as time allows. Get a few good bartending books, read and try to memorize the more commonly requested cocktails in your area, and also the classic types. Beware--for lots of drinks, 10 different bartending books will give you 10 different cocktail recipes (try looking up Mai Tai in a few and you'll see what I mean)--so don't freak out. Another weird thing, I was bartending in the FL Keys for 20 years, and I dealt with a lot of international tourists and tourists from all over the U.S., and (don't freak out here either) the same drink with the same name will be made completely differently where they (the tourist) is coming from. For instance, a european martini is far different than an american martini, so if I was asked for a martini by someone with a european accent, I'd have to stop and clarify it with them (60 to 100 years ago, the american and eurpoean martinis were exactly the same, not so anymore). A hick coming outta South Dakota will insist that his Tom Collins is red and has grenadine in it, and yes, that is in fact what you get when you order a Tom Collins in SD. I now call that one a Sven & Ole Collins (because a Tom Collins it surely isn't). And that's just the tip of that iceberg. Bartending is far and away more art than science, there are very few 'right' answers--some right answers, but not a lot. Get used to that.
Bartending school will try to teach you the science, little of the art. And bartending school graduates will of course tell you how great the experiance was for them, and how much better of a bartender they are versus the non-schooled bartender (that holier-than-thou thing I mentioned earlier, simply because they cannot intellectually digest the fact that they have flushed $500 to $1000 of their money down the toilet. And you'd better be a people person, someone that people want to talk too, and you HAVE to talk to them, whether you want to or not. And patience--you MUST have a well of patience 100 feet deep or more.
In summary, artending schools are a waste. Get yourself a job as a barback, buy a coupla good bartending books (yes, they same drink will have different ingredients in different books--don't freak out), learn the standard drinks, learn your regional favorites (they vary greatly), and do it yourself. It ain't rocket science. Here's a little secret: real bartenders snicker and laugh behind the backs of bartending school graduates. I mean puh-leeze, get a life. .
Also, don't just learn at work. DO YOUR HOMEWORK, which of course happens at HOME.|||Start out at a small bar and work your way up. Let me add to that, a small bar that is SLOW. I never went to bartending school but I'm a bartender at a pretty busy place and I started working there on slow days until I could handle the busier days :) Um, are you a chick? Just asking because it's SUPER easy to get good tips if you're a chick. Especially if you're a cute chick, just wear a v-neck shirt or a tank top, something to show a little (you don't have to show it all!) and some tight jeans, if you look good customers usually try harder to strike up a conversation. Just go to a bar and fill out an app, tell the manager/owner that you've never worked at a bar but you're a hard worker and willing to learn. It helped that I had experience in sales (it's the bartender's job to suggest shots or other drinks that the person may want or like). Basically just be friendly and get to know the regulars' names and drink preference. This will help you out a lot. When you start working you should make a "cheat sheet" write down any popular shots and write down prices. The bar I work at writes the price right on the bottle to make it easier, but if that's not the case you should memorize the popular premium and top drink prices. Hope that helped a little.|||Some people will tell you that bartending school is the way to go, and they're not always wrong. It really depends on the kind of place you want to work, and on whether or not there are specific local/state requirements.
Basically, it breaks down like this: the bonus of going to bartending school, is that most good ones offer not only the training, but certification as well. These certificates are especially helpful if you want to work in a hotel, on a cruise ship, catering company, and many corporate bars (i.e.-Applebees, Bennigans, TGIFridays, etc)
Also, you do learn quite a few drinks, general liquor familiarization, and how to pour free hand.
On the down side, a lot of beer and shot places, sports bars, clubs, and the like tend to look down on those who opt for that route. And for good reason. No matter what else, the best teacher will always be experience. The key is to find a place that you like, and a competent bartender to show you the ropes.
Remember though, whatever you decide to do, it's far easier to start at a fancy place (martinis, wine service, etc), and move down to less formal places (beer and shot joints). The beer and shot places are good because they teach you speed, but the higher end place will teach you good drink making.
I am 20 years old and just about to be 21. I am looking to move to NYC with my now live-in boyfriend (we've been together four amazing years) as his job will be positioned there.
Anyways, I am looking to get my bartending license and I was wondering how much in tips a bartender in NYC typically gets. I am very outgoing, friendly and not hard on the eyes either (I really don't mean to sound conceited - but unfortunately that gets you better tips).
I don't drink much at all (a couple beers every few months) is this a problem? I know some places allow bartenders to drink and that customers buy bartenders drinks and I don't want to insult anyone by not drinking on the job! Thanks so much!|||Depending on where you work you can make hundreds a night. If you can get a job at a nice club in the city you can be rolling in it, but if you're working at a small place it won't be too much more than anywhere else in the country.
I'm 19, at uni in wisconsin and curious about bartending laws here, I've been considering bartending, especially since summer jobs are getting more scarce and there are ample bars...
You can bartend and serve at 18, or so I keep hearing, and I've been looking up schools, which apparently there are only 2, one in Madison and one in Milwaukee. I'm across the state, by the twin cities, and was wondering if you can attain a bartending license through online courses.

What's the difference between an operator/server's license and a bartending one? I've been looking this stuff up online for over an hour and the government sites are unclear, and I can't tell if any other sites are reliable or scams to get you to take online certification you don't need...|||there is NO SUCH THING AS A BAR TENDING LICENSE
some states require a responsible server course, which the employer will generally put you through
at 19 you will be very unlikely to get a bar tending job, since employers are wary of hiring someone who can't even legally taste what they are mixing.
bar tending schools are generally considered a waist of money.
I am turning 21 on April 29th and will be going home for summer from college and was thinking of taking bartending classes so I could try to find a bartending job. I want to know if it's a good job, and if anyone has or is doing that and like it? also, is it reliable as far as money goes? also, is it easy to get a bartending job and how long are the classes or how long does it take to get a bartending license? any information will help me :)|||Yes bartending is fun. I bartend and love it. It's a party every night. As far as money goes it depends on where you work, what type of bar it is, and the people you serve. The classes are fairly easy (all about memorization) but costly, my classes lasted for 3 months, but I could only go on the weekends due to my schooling during the week. No it is not easy to get a good well paying bartending job w/o a license and a couple years of experience, but more than likely u can get hired at a" little hole in the wall" bar and pick up some experience even w/o a license.
For next year, I decided I should work as a bartender at one of the (many) bars on campus. I will turn 18 in April, which is the legal age to serve alcohol in Wisconsin. However, I'm a bit lost as to how I earn a bartending license.
At the risk of sounding stupid, I have to ask for help. I've checked online, and all I get are many "online bartending classes" to take, of which I am extremely skeptical. Aren't you supposed to actually take an on-site bartending course to earn your license?
Any and all help and information on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.|||Go talk to some of the bartenders and ask them how they did it. (Go right when the bar opens so it's not too crowded.) Not only will you find the answer, you'll also make a contact, which will be helpful once you start actually looking for a job.
I am 22, have two kids and am working full-time as a staff assistant making $14/77/hour.. I got my bartending license a while ago and I am thinking about pursuing a job in the industry. Working Mon-fri 8-5 is preventing me from being able to get into school and do a lot of other things. I am just scared the money will not match up to what I am making now. I will have to start out somewhere small like Chilli's or something because I have no experience other than the school I went to... does anyone know how much I can expect to make in CA as a bartender and if it would be worth it to give it a shot? I've been at my current job for 3 years and it's really stable but I haven't gotten a raise at all and I need to be making more money!|||A bartender's license in California ?? There is NO SUCH THING !! You got a certificate at a bartending school is all. California doesn't require anything other than a bartender be over the age of 21... the BAR has to hold a liquor license.
I've done part-time bartending for about 20 years now... normal starting pay at most small bars is Minimum Wage or just abit more... BUT I've been known to pull down $600 a week in tips.
This site shows an annual expected pay of $15-17K per year - http://www.glassdoor.com/Hourly-Pay/Chil鈥?/a>
My suggestion is to find a small local bar... ask for a chance to fill-in for free, and see how you do.
Good Luck !!
My good friend is twenty, has her bartending license, and works here in New York. She claims that if she were to move to Vegas, she'd be unable to work there as a bartender. Is this true?

So, I'm 20 (about to be 21 in late April) and from Los Angeles, California, and I want to go for my bartending license. Am I old enough to obtain a simple license? How about for the legal age of serving alcohol? I'm a full-time student and need some extra cash on the side to pay for school since my other job is great, but doesn't give me enough pay or hours. So, I'm hoping I can get my license and serve!|||You have to be 18 to become a certified bartender or serve alcohol as a server. However, you have to be 21 in the state of California to be behind a bar.
Honestly, on the job training is just as good as attending bartending school and less expensive. They teach you a lot of specific details about types of glasses, how to prepare martinis, and make really odd drinks that were common in the 40's and 50's. However, once you get into a bartending gig, you find that those things aren't relevant a lot of times, and you learn more from your fellow bartenders.
It's best to learn on a mid-week day shift at a slower pace and work your way up to working nights for better tips.
However, if you still want to attend the school, the link below answers a lot of questions. Good luck and have fun.

Bartending is 70% social, 20% talent and about 10% B.S-from my perspective. Depending on where you want to work you don't need to know every drink in the book. Golf courses are good places to start out just to get used to the pace, bottle, etc. Then you can move up to bartending banquets if you want to experience the "rush" of guests.
It seems impossible to get a job or experience teaching at the college or community college level because everyone wants to hire only those with prior experience...yet no one is willing to give it. ALso, there are no programs available wherein one could volunteer for experience. This seems true with any field at all!

I have a question, I will certify and get my bartending license on Thursday, but what is the typical pay of a bartender? I heard that you will make more money working at a hotel, is this true? I would like a estimate per week, or even per month but not per year. Thanks|||Well I didn't have any certification as a bartender but I was one for about a year and a half and that was the best paying job ever. My tips were always more than my pay. I only worked in a small town bar and I took home $200 easy on a band night. Not meaning to be rude but really there is no way to estimate howmuch you will make. It really does have to do with how you look and if you can mix those drinks with a little show. I've never worked in a hotel but I would think due to the hotel night clubs I have seen that not a lot is paid in tips in those bars. They are paying so much for the room they stay in they don't tip as much. Your hourly pay would most likely be higher, but that's nothing in comparison to tips. At my small town bar I made about $600 a week. Good money as long as not to many men pinched me. I'm sure in a more develped area you can do better. Good luck.|||In Canada the minimum wage wage for bartenders is $6.50 In the USA I think it is $4.to $5. That is why being a good bartender is important as you can make better money on tips than on wages.|||About $12 to $15 per hour on average: Just about $100.00 per day for an average day, little more week-end days! About $600.00 per month, on average, in most good towns!|||It truly depends on your location and the time in which you work. I only worked on Friday and Saturdays because I had a full time job during the week. The bar I worked at was on the Northside of chicago, where people would pay 15 dollars just to get in the club and another 20 to enter the vip area. So I was getting tipped 20 here and there. With my base pay and my tips..I would go home with about 350.00 a night. So for two days I make 700.00. And I'm still working at that bar, and loving and now that I got regs and wants only me to fix their drinks..that has actually gone up.|||Min wage for restaurant employees, but wages are nothing - tips are everything.
The location and clientele will determine everything outside of your control. Your level of service is all you can affect.

I made approx. 200 on Friday and Saturday, and perhaps 100 weekdays...before salary of 3.90per hour. My total was usually around 800 per week. I changed to a hotel bar because salary was higher at 7.00 per hour plus tips. But, tips had to be split around all of us and I usually pulled in approx. 600 per week. My advise...find a small neighborhood bar where you can build relationships with cutomers and get better tips.|||Minimum wage plus tips, so it depends on the crowd.

If you can't find a job doing this then work at a restaurant with a bar and start out bussing and washing dishes... the restaurant business is not elite and rewards a hardworker. I would work at a restaurant over being a barback because starting at the bottom in a restaurant gives you more opportunities in the service industry. But you have to bust your *** and not complain... and be patient but you will get what you want. And you might find out that you prefer the kitchen to the bar.|||I started with really no real knowledge of bartending at a small mom & pop restaurant. You learn very fast. And when in doubt about a drink, politely say to the customer "I know there are lots of ways to make a *whatever*, how would YOU like it made?" Then commit it to memory. The bonus of this practice is that the customer gets it exactly like they like it and tip better.
I'm interested in getting a bar tending job, but don't want to pay for bartending school. There was an ad in my local school paper for the National Association of Bartenders out of Rahway, NJ which provides free training and placement at bartending jobs, but charges about $350 for books and a bartending license. I want to make sure this place is legit, before I give them any money. Has anybody heard of this place? According to their brochure they also have locations in Florida and California.

The more money the girls make the more money the bar tender and the D.J and the club makes.

I worked at a bar with mostly Mexican-Americans and almost all they drank was Coronas, Casadores Tequila, and whatever well-drinks were on special. Red Bull and Vodka was really popular too!
However, generally popular drinks are rum (or 151) and coke, vodka cranberry (also called a "Sea Breeze"), "Screwdrivers" which is orange juice and vodka (sometimes with grenadine). "Tequilla Sunrise" (tequilla, orange juice, grenadine). Some place Martinis are more popular, particularly apple-flavored martinis, manhattans, and cosmopolitans.
As a general rule, guys usually like stronger more bitter drinks and girls/women generally like sweeter drinks.|||i have been a bartender for 10 years now, long islands, lemon drops, and jack and coke|||I don't know because I never go out.

in a shot glass you put peach absolut vodka and top it with a very thin layer of bacardi 151 just enough to get a flame over the top. the customer should not pic it up before blowing it out...and be prepared with a wet bar towel to catch any spills from it! its a fun drink and basically for show! it looks cool and everyone in the bar wants to know what ur drinking and then they want one too.|||Morning Fly,
I'm sticking with Jessandduane. These are the generalized drinks that you'll be asked for, mostly well. Some shots, beer. If the club is frequented by women on others tabs, be prepared to have the blender going most of the night (and your recipe book out for at least that long). Guys usually know what they are ordering as soon as they walk up to you, it usually won't change throughout the night. Ladies on the other hand, usually, will wait til they get up to your well when you are at your busiest and then say "I don't know, Something different..." At that point they're getting a sex on the beach or a Washington apple.
Now to comment on several things that I have seen from other answeree's:
BOMBHAUS
=============
Bombhaus: let me know where you bartend. I want to stay far away.
1) Rum and coke is just that! A 151 and coke is just that! The two have never been confused other than by someone who has had too many 151 and coke, and then you should cut them off!
2). Vodka & Cranberry is just that! Vodka & Cranberry. If you add a lime garnish, then it becomes a Cape Cod (codder).
3). A Bay Breeze is Vodka, Pineapple juice & Cranberry juice.
4). A Sea Breeze is Vodka, Grapefuit juice and Cranberry Juice.
5). A screwdriver has never had grenadine in it, and it never will. The drink you are talking about is a Vodka Sunrise.
It's wanna be bartenders like you that give professionals a crappy name! Because you can stand behind a bar and fold bar towels and look up the latest fru-fru drink from the club that your favorite ho went to last night, is the reason you are bartending in a place that mostly serves bottled beer!
POOPKACES:
===========
A quick note to Poopkaces; Most states have laws against lighted drinks on bar tops. My favorite shot is French Toast which is Yukon Jack, Float Warmed Brandy, light and sprinkle with cinnamon, smells like french toast, looks like fireworks. Sadly, here in California it's highly illegal.
Good Drinking Fly!

I have my bartending license and I want to travel and meet new people, is this a good opportunity?|||I have not worked on a cruise ship but I have talked to many people who do as I have done more than 20 cruises. Normally persons who sign on to work on a cruise ship will sign a contract to work for 6 to 10 months continuously, depending on the position and cruise line. Then after that time you would get a month to 6 weeks off. Then you come back on ship for another long stint. The daily work schedules are not 8 hour days but more like 12 to 14 hour days with split shifts. Depending on your job you may go to work at 6:00 AM, work until about noon, have several hours off in the afternoon, and then go back to work at 4:00 PM and be on duty until 10 PM. Sometimes during your off hours from one job you have to do another. If you are bartending you may work one place days and another evenings and nights.
Cruise ship are used 24 hr a day 7 days a week and there is no downtime between cruises except to clean the ship and prepare for the next group of passengers to board. The ship will be in the departure port about 12 hour to discharge passengers, then load new supplies and passengers and then set sail again.
When the ship docks in scheduled ports and at the departure port you may or may not be able to get off the ship, depending on your job and work schedule. But crew members do occasionally get to take a few hours off in port stops and shop, go to the beach or do whatever. Its just that they do not have a firm regular schedule.

You need to go to the cruise line web sites. There you will find a link to jobs, employment, human resources or some such link that will give you information about their positions. Use these web sites as a lead to who and where to write or call for information about positions. Some sites have actual vacancies listed and they also will list in general terms the basic requirements for working on a cruise ship. Royal Caribbean is a great site for this type information. Many cruise lines use "hiring partners".
DO NOT use any other web sites that require you to pay a fee to register or get job information or referrals. Some cruise line sites may have current vacancies they are recruiting for. Several cruise lines have new ships coming out soon so opportunities will be there. Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Disney and some others will have new ships launched this year and next.

In addition, they also hire part-time people to work at the port on the days when ships are departing. So when you contact the cruise lines you may want to ask about those type positions also.|||Yes, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it's also hard work.

Every night after work, we would go to the Officers Bar to drink & dance. The next morning (hung over) we went and did our jobs.
Two things to consider:
1) If you're a US citizen, you're pretty much restricted to NCL America cruising the Hawaiian islands. All other cruise companies hire from outside the US because they can pay lower wages. See the link below to NCL America's job page:
http://164.109.173.40/employment/nclAmer鈥?/a>
2) If seeing Hawaii for 6 months sounds good..... SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) mandates that cruise ships maintain 33% of its crew onboard at all times in case of an emergency. That means every third day that you are not scheduled to work you are required to stay onboard (it's called In Port Manning.)
If you'd rather see more than Hawaii and are willing to not be a bartender, you can be cruise staff and host volleyball games, pool olympics, etc. All of the major cruise lines will hire US/Canadians for these positions, you get the most freedom to roam anywhere on the ship, and the itineraries will take you all over the world.|||You'll definitely meet many new people and see some of the world; but it's hard hard work.
There's several books mostly available on Google Books which will give you an idea of some people's experience of life on board.

They're quite different accounts of life onboard.|||For the position you will work long hours for sure but a good thing about cruise lines is that you don't pay for rent or food and of course the most importatnt thing, you will have the chance to visit cool places and meet people from all around the world.
The cabins are small most of the time and you will share yours with 1,2 or 3 people sometimes
HR is always worried about the crew so they organized events such as bingo, bbq and cheap crew tours you can also get movies and books from the crew welfare and of course the crew bar is there if you want to refresh yourself...I personally enjoy my experience and that's why I'm going for my 2nd contract :)
Hope it helps|||I have never done it, but I have spoke to many of the ship staff throughout the years. Working on a cruise ship is good when you first start cause its something new and exciting. After a couple of months, it gets to be a grind. The days are long. Remember, your not on a cruise vacation when your working. Give it a try to see how you like it. I think its a 6 or 9 month deal though.
Hope I helped!|||Working on a cruise ship allows you to explore the world, but it is hard work. Cruise ships usually have an employment contract, they vary from 3 months to a year... Try looking at the web site www. allthingscruise.com, it has a section on to get a job on a cruise ship, that part is here: http://allthingscruise.com/work-on-a-cruise-ship/- it also talks about what to expect.
Was thinking about working at a restaurant franchise like TGIF or Chile's... Not really looking for an 8-5 job but still want to make good money.

ANY IDEAS !?!?!|||in these times of horrible economy be happy with any job you can get.in a year or so you can afford to be a little more selective. unless you can practice football more and hope for the draft in a couple of years lol
I want to get a bartending license before I leave for college. I'm currently in PA, and you only have to be 18 to serve alcohol here. I'll be moving to Boston, MA for college, and was wondering how old you have to be to serve alcohol there. I don't want to take a course if I won't be able to serve alcohol for another 3 years! Thanks.|||You only have to be 18 yrs old to serve. I worked in a restaurant in that area when I was 18, and I was legally allowed to serve alcohol. Here is a sight that confirms it.|||You need a license to be a bartender in PA?
I lived in Boston for a couple of years, and never heard of such a thing. Nor anywhere else I have ever lived....

I am getting my bartending license in a week ( in new York ), and a friend wants to hook me up with a job at a strip club. Do the strippers make all the tips ? Or do male bar tenders get tipped like in any other place?|||This depends on the kind of bar you're in. If you're in a club that the customers can access the bar at will, you may make more simple for service. But don't expect tips on the same scale as the dancers. The guys are there to see T&A, not you spinning a martini shaker on your head.
On the other hand some clubs you will only see the dancers/shot girls who sell the drinks. In those clubs the dancers, shot girls and such will tip you out a percentage of what they made. This is to keep you making their drinks the way they like (nice and watered down) and the customer's drinks nice and strong. Here you can expect 5-10% of each girl's take.
If you look great and go to a gay or go-go club, expect to make quite a bit. Especially if you're willing to tease and converse.|||You get to keep the tips that are passed over the bar to you, the cocktail servers should tip you back 3% of their sales, as you were their "Service" bartender. You will be required to tip your bar back for washing glasses, carrying ice, trash etc. usually 10% if you don't, your bar back will be lazy, let you run out of ice and glasses, thus cutting you out of making tips.|||Forget the tips. Look at the goodies of the strippers|||If its a gay strip club then shure if not then you would make cents on the dollar if that!|||Wear spandex. lol
There is no standardized process of licensing for bartenders. Many towns, cities, countries require no license at all. If there is a license requirement it is most often only a simple registration with the local police, sheriff or health department. The fees run in the five to fifty dollar range. It is usually require a proof of employment and often a separate fee will have to be paid for each different establishment.|||You don't need a license to tend bar. If the place also sells food, there has to be a person who is in a supervisory position who has a food service sanitation license. That's about it. Some towns have regulations aimed at trying to close down all the taverns and so may have some sort of a city file on employees of each establishment that serves liquor.
How much does it cost and how long does it take ? Is it a course with quizzes and scores and what exactly does it entail ?
MOST IMPORTANTLY : How easy is bartending ? and will a place hire someone who is just starting out new with no prior experience?|||Don't go to bartending school (i.e. don't waste the money) unless the job you are applying to requires such an endevour (usually only hotels and casinos ask for that kind of stuff)
Also, most states don't require a license either. Depending on what state you live in you need ot make sure of the age requirements (most states require that you are 21 years old and that's it, some want you to get a state license...etc...) Just check the laws for your state (go here: http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/StateAn鈥?/a>
The most important thing that you should do is pick up the Bartender's Black Book (you can usually find it at a local package store, if not order it from Amazon). It has thousands of recipes, Plus all the basics, terms, and measurements you need to memorize immediately. Learning your pour count, knowing how to make a Long Island, a Martini, a Cosmo, how to tap a keg, etc...
Other than knowing how to pour drinks and serve drinks quickly, the main thing a bartender has to do is listen/talk to people. Make sure you are a people person. You have to love to listen too, especially to drunks. You also want to be up to date on local stuff (where the best entertainment spots are, the nearest hotel, the cab's number, etc...) You also need to have at least two jokes you can pull from memory. One dirty, and one you could tell your mother. Both have to be funny. Also be up to date on all sports scores, especially on local teams. Know who is playing who and at what time (make sure to have it on the TV too).
When starting out, it may be tough to get a job. The best thing to do is to apply to all the places that cycle through bartenders/barbacks a lot (like restaurants, hotel bars, etc...) Then find bars that you like personally and become somewhat of a regular at those places. Get to know the other bartenders, owners, managers, and then in a few months drop the line that you would be willing to work for them. Start out as a barback and work your way up. Most small bars are run like families anyway. You will have to know your fellow employees well. That is how I got my first two bartending jobs and eventually made it to bar manager.
Bartending is an extremely fun job. You will meet tons of people and hear lots of interesting stories. Plus you will know alcohol better than the back of your hand. I find it to be quite rewarding when it comes to the bank account too.
Have Fun and Good Luck!|||one of my friend told me he did some bartending class online and when they sent him the diploma he knew he got ripped off cuz the diploma looks very fake lol Report Abuse
|||I dont know the online thing, probably.
Bartending is easy for those with good memory and late nights.
They will hire you definatly if you gets a class2|||Here is what I've been told by many many bar managers. These local bartending classes are usually a rip... most managers I've talked to say they have to un-learn you of your bad habbits after these classes.
Also, 90% of the please I know of only cold hire VER VERY experienced bartenders, and usually only in a pinch. Most of the waitstaff is trying to work up to bartend.
My advice is 2 fold: 1 - get a job waiting tables at a cool restaurant where you might would like to bartend, and be very clear that that is your goal. Waiter make a TON of money at the right place.
2 - Get on of those bartending books and keep it on the back of the toilet... you will have it memorized in no time!
Pretty please don't pay ANY money for some on-line bartending calls. PLease.
Good luck.
I'm 21 and i'm a college student in college. I want to make extra money while i'm going to school. I was wondering how you go about getting a bartending license and where you would go get it if you live in Atlanta?|||go to a bar - ask ask them how they hire bartenders - they may say forget the classes - we'll teach you - they hire more on personality anyway and you need a really good memory to remember all those drink recipes and who ordered what
What's the name of the license? Where and how do I obtain it?|||I don't think you actually need a licences to bartend... you need a liqour licence to own a bar, and i am sure there are some organizations/unions you can join, but there isn't any regulation that you need a licence for, at least not federally... might want to check with your county if there is a local something you need.
I just got my bartending license in Minnesota and plan on working here during the summer, however, I go to school in Wisconsin and would like to continue working, so I'm wondering what extra steps I must take to work in Wisconsin.|||You'll need to get your Responsible Beverage Server Certification in Wisconsin. It's no problem though. Find an employer and he will pay for you to take the course, or reimburse you. The class is generally held a your local technical college and only lasts a few hours.
Good luck!
Does anyone know how much a bartending license costs in NJ? And where I can possibly go to school to get one?|||I don't know about the requirements in your state, but bartending schools are a waste of time and money. They teach you nothing about you and happy hour with 75 thirsty people on a Friday night and your cocktail waitress called in sick.
You learn how to make margaritas with colored water and usually with no real blender.|||Doh, you don't need a licence to be a bartender (ie. to serve liquor) you only need a licence to SELL it. And your employer is the one selling it, not you.
how much do you have to pay to get it and what are the chances of getting a job once you have the licence???|||In Washington state you do need a permit to both serve alcohol and to mix &/or pour alcholic beverages.
when I got my permit it cost $25.00 for a class 12 (for serving only) and $35.00 for a class 13 (mixing/pouring/serving)
They have to be renewed periodically. The liquer control board administers the test.
It isn't a mixologists test. It is a test to determine one's knowledge of levels and effects of BAC, Legal responsibilies, prevetitive measures and so forth.
Even if you don't want to be a bartender, it is a good thing to have at least a class 12 if you want to work in food service. It is required in Washington state to even carry a beer to a guests table.|||I'm not into the bartender stuff so i don't really know.|||Really easy, just go to school. Costs about $300-$500 depending where you go. Also, a lot of times the schools will help you get a job afterwards. Usually if you get a job you need to start out as a bar back or busing tables,so you learn the rules of the individual bar, versus starting out bartending right away.|||I went to bartending school. I got a job through the school's job reference. It cost $500 to go to school. I went to work for a private organization, not a public bar, around four years ago. I highly recommend working for one of these "clubs", the pay is better (usually by the hour instead of shift pay), the work is easier (they usually have janitorial staff - no cleaning bathrooms), and the clientele is more behaved (they are members and can be disciplined for misbehaving). The only downfall is the politics. Keep out of all political discussions and you will do well. Good Luck !!|||You don't need a license in the US for bartending. The best way to get a job is to start out as a waiter and learn the business then just get behind the bar.|||Depends on where you're located. Saudi Arabia is tough.
and do you need one if u have a bartending license|||Liquer license has little to do with bartending license. Two seperate critters.|||Prices vary by State. In California, they're about ten thousand from the state, if you can get through the lottery system, and have your name drawn. You must then operate with that license for three years, before you can sell it. Re-sold licenses have values up into the hundreds of thousands, depending on the location
No license needed to be a bartender in CA.
To get your bartending license?I really want to be a bartender.How can I get good at it?Should I just go to school?|||Save your money. Most owners/managers never hire people who go to bartending school
Start as a server, or barback.
learn basic drinks as well as what is popular in your area
Some states require some kind of ID for it, you could call it a license.|||You should not have to go to school, go to your local bars and ask if they are hiring and if they would be able to train you.|||a would assume by your question go to bartender academy|||You do need one to be a bartender. You should go to school|||i think it depends on where you live. i bartended in CA at a lot of different places and never went to school or had a license.|||as far as i know you have to be 18 and its called an RSA i think its a tafe course , sorry cant be more help =[
I wanna get my Bartending License, and I wanna know two things:
1. How old do you have to be to go to Bartending School in N.C
2. Are their any schools in Charlotte, NC
thanks.|||Haha....bartending school, you sure are shooting for the stars there arent you! How about clown school? that sounds fun too!|||you can go to barteneding school / take a bartenders course once you are 18.
BUT
you have to be 21 to actually be emplyed by a bar in some states. In NC it is 18 though. You can view all of the ages by state at: "www.bartendingcollege.com " on the right it says state specific bartending age, just scroll through
There are loads dude but the best one as far as i know is called Charlottes bartending school : www.bartendingcollege.com
had a friend that went there he said it was great
good luck man|||21
theyre everywhere|||21 anywhere in the U.S.
Thursday, February 9, 2012
really depends on where you are. i am originally from tennessee and i bartended there for 5 yrs. i got my liscence after i got hired but it is pretty cake to get a job once you already have it. experience helps but most places do things thier own way and are willing to train you. just put in applications and keep a smile on your face. bartending is more about personality than anything. good luck and enjoy! it's a fun gig!|||There are a lot of bartending jobs available, but most of the top paying ones are for individuals with a lot of experience and great references. You might have to start at a local pub, but getting any on the job training will help you get your feet wet and get some jobs in this field listed on your resume. One of my daughters started out this way and went on to become a high-earning bartender in some of the top hotels in Las Vegas.|||There are plenty of part time bartending opportunities for someone new. Full time is a bit tougher without experience.|||Pretty easy. Getting a great one with good tips is a lot harder. Even here in Las Vegas, the shift can make a huge difference in your income. Knowing someone or having a relative with some juice helps a lot.
If you can get on with a caterer doing receptions, parties, etc you can market yourself to a lot of people. Personality will take you a long way.|||I make great money tending bar...I do have alot of experience and I bust my ***, but it's gratifying as hell to have primo Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night shifts and walk out with over $1275 in cash (after tipping out my barback) for about 21 hours of work per week.
Start wherever you can, be personable without being personal, do not talk politics, do not comment or join in a conversation that you do not need to be in, let the patron buy you a drink even if you can't drink on the job (it's still a sale!) same goes for when they buy drinks for others and they don't want them, and remember - if you're a female bartender, and a couple comes in together - you talk to the ladies first and make more eye contact with them than the men...it'll pay off every time.
I live in the Dc, Maryland, Virginia area but I'm just wondering in general what company's teach you how to bartend?
p.s. I just got my bartending license but I kinda forgot a couple of recipes & they were all on the note cards I lost|||As someone who's hired barstaff for the last 15 years, experience is the number one most important thing I look for on a resume. Bartending "school" is a sham and a waste of time and money. Start as a barback somewhere and work your way up.|||If you've already got your bartending license (not that there is an official bartending license), then you should already have the basic knowledge somewhere in your head. For a refresher, download the free bartender cheat sheet here: http://www.bars-and-bartending.com/free-鈥?/a>
Relearn the basic 20-40 drink recipes you'll need to know, then start practising pouring and serving at home. You can brush up on your bartending skills by watching bartending video tutorials here: http://www.bars-and-bartending.com/barte鈥?/a>
I wouldn't go back and waste more money on another bartending school. I've always looked for personality above all else when hiring bar staff - the skills can be learned.
I live in Maryland.. I was looking at getting my TAM certification, which I'm able to do at the community college in my town (Hagerstown Community College). I know that you can be 18 and up to serve in bars, but on the description it said you have to be 21 to participate in class activities.|||21, if you can't participate, then you can get youre license.
My advice? Doing a bartending course is a waste of time and money. Where I'm from, it cost about $600 for a two week course. The problem is even if you have a license, most establishments won't hire you cause you need real experience. While you learn how to mix some drinks and know all the terminology, a restaurant/bar wants to know you can handle the high traffic level while maintaining efficiency.
You're best bet is to get a job as a lounge server and work your way up. Because fact of a matter is, most places hire bartenders within and is considered a promotion. IF you want to be a bartender right away, then you might have some luck starting at a small, family owned place.
- in pennsylvania
- almost 18
just a bartending license?
if so, how would i go about doing this?
anything else you can tell me?|||I'm not quite sure about Pennsylvania because I've never lived there. Most states require that a server or bartender have a permit or a license that you get through your state's alcohol board/commission. However, you don't need one in order to get hired. Your employer will require that you get one within a certain allotted amount of time after your hire date. You may also want to check about the age requirements. I don't think any state allows people under the age of 21 to tend bar (I could be wrong, though).
The best way to get a job as a bartender is to start out at an entry level position. Get a job as a server and work your way up. If you have what it takes to be a bartender, your employer will train you. Once you have some bartending experience, you'll have no problem finding a job as a bartender.
Stay away from the bartending schools... they are a scam.|||I'm also in PA and I have bad news.
Most venues will not hire you to bartend if you don't have experience.
You need to start out as a server or barback first. Take the time out to learn recipes, proper pours & get as much knowledge as possible.
I do have good news though...
a bartending license is not necessary.|||You might only be able to be a barback at 18, not so sure.
You need a hot face, and to get a bartender's license.
Now that i think about it you cant become a bartender unless your 21, because you can't serve liquor if your under 21, only beer. I Think. = O
I turn eighteen next September and I want to leave my small hometown and go to SAIT for bartending school, or somewhere to get my licensing, I'd be moving down with quite a bit of money, getting an apartment with my best friend. Thinking northwest because thats wheree the school is, Im just wondering how things would work down there being a bartender, I was wondering what the wages/tips were like, are two bartenders able to live in a apartment and have much spending money? Is it hard to get a bartending job there?|||My name is Paige and I’m a professional bartender. I wanted to be a bartender when I watched the movie “Cocktail” with my mom. Tom Cruise was so cool and I thought, “I could do that.” I had seen an advertisement on television for bartending schools and wondered if I should attend Bartending School. I started researching various schools for bartending and talked to bartenders in my area and very quickly found out that taking bartending courses and bartending classes is a complete waste of time and money.
Few bartending jobs require that their bartenders attend a bartending school. There may be a few exceptions to the bar school rule such as higher end casinos or some hotels. The majority of bars don’t care if you’ve taken a bar course. They want to know you can smile, be pleasant to work with, and that you can get along with customers.
In New York the legal age to serve drinks is 18. I took bartending classes and am now certified to do so. However, I find that every time I show for an interview, the hiring manager or HR feels as though i am not a suitable candidate for the position. Today I was told by a bar owner that he would rather have all of his employees be over 21 because alcohol is involved with the job. I am sure the state of NY understood this when they set the age for serving drinks. Is there anything I can do? Can this be considered discrimination?|||First, stop telling bar managers and owners that you have a bartending certificate. This automatically ruins any chance you had to get the job. Bartending certificates are red flags because most of the time they are used to cloud the fact that an applicant does not have any ACTUAL bartending experience (I'm willing to bet this is your case), which is of course what the interviewer is looking for.
99.9999899849% of bartenders in New York don't have bartending certificates. They are useless. Experience in the business will teach you all you need to know. Most bartenders start off as waiters and sometimes even hosts before that. Starting right off the bat as a bartender is rare.
Bartending courses teach you how to mix drinks but they do not teach you how to run a bar. There's a lot involved and I will not get into it here.
Second, anyone with experience in the bar and restaurant business knows that bar and floor staff tend to be drinkers themselves. Go to any self-respecting Irish Pub in New York and you know that the bartender will not hesitate to take a shot with customers and have a pint of Guinness behind the bar to sip during a lull. Waiters and waitresses are also known to sneak drinks to "take the edge off" during the shift. Point being, if you are going to be in an environment where the owner KNOWS you are going to drink, regardless of the rules, he would be more comfortable knowing that at least you are of legal age to do so...which you are not.
Third, even if you had some experience under your belt, fact remains: you are 19 years old. I personally would not trust my bar to a teen.
I advise you try to break into the business as a waiter first. But if you simply love being behind the bar, which I understand; I do too, I would also try applying as a barback. Once you become a trusted barback, you can ask the owner for some slow bartending shifts and work your way from there.
Good luck and hit me up if you wanna discuss this or have any questions.

would anyone know if I need to go to bartending school in this scenario, or whether it would be a waste of money:
1) I have a year's work experience at a cocktail bar in west london. I was a cocktail waiter, not a bartender, but that's what made me interested in bartending in the first place. i am also interested in mixology, although i hear half the stuff you learn is useless when it comes to a real crowded bar situation.
2) I hear many bars want 2-3 years of professional work experience in the field, and I only have 1 year, although it was intense...
3) I have international experience? Although, again, I doubt how relevant that is...I suppose some could see it as an asset as you become comfortable dealing with all kinds of customers...
Based on the above info, would you think it is worth taking a course? Is it a requirement to be 'certified' in los angeles/or are there any ways to get around it? I have heard that it makes more sense to be a host or barback before, and try to work your way up to bartender. But this could take ages, couldn't it!|||being "certified" will always give you that extra edge :)

There are several agencies that provide bartenders and waitstaff for catered affairs and banquets, etc. This might snag you a job, but while you are looking for a permanent job, this might also let you make some money quickly that would give you time to look around. There are more bars and clubs than you can imagine. You also might try hotels in the downtown area - Driskoll, Four Seasons (where Matthew McConaghey was "discovered" - as a waiter, I understand -) I know a bar tender/manager at Don's Depot on 5th.

Good luck.|||Maybe if you asked this in the correct category...|||Walk down 6th street and apply at every one of em|||I wouldnt think that it would be very hard at all. I was on sixth street not the long ago and there were at least three bars with "now hiring" signs. If I were you I would start on sixth street and the surrounding area.

There's a BOATLOAD of bars along 6th street, so if you're wanting to hit several places in person rather quickly, that's a good start.
In Austin, you'd best have some pretty solid bartending skills, so be sure you're good at what you do and be prepared to sell yourself as quick, smart and hardworking. If you can do that, you should be fine (and employed) in no time.

Also, as in any profession, it's who you know instead of what you know. If you are friends with a bar owner, or know anyone who knows one, use that connection!

I'm having a private family and close friends party (100 people) and will be serving beer and wine at a venue in the catskills NY. This venue requires liquor liability insurance. I found one on the web but got denied because the insurance folks require a bartender with a license to serve or a license caterer. I've looked everywhere on the web and all I found is a TPA permit for temp serving of beer and wine AND bartenders with certificates from bar tending schools.
Who am l looking for? A friend who can open bottles and pour with a TPA permit? or a bartender with a certificate?
I'm avoiding the catering route because we're not serving hot food and it would likely be too expensive anyways.
Any help would be great. Thanks.|||they're probably mean a temporary on-premises license from the ABC board. i bar tended for years in NY and never required a license. The ABC board is pain to deal with. i would just go ahead and do it without the license and hire drivers to bring people home if that is what your worried about. much easier and cheaper.

I think TIPS certification is mandatory in Massachusetts, but is that all I need or is there another license I need/class I need to take/etc.
Thanks in advance!|||You don't need a bartending license to bartend anywhere, but many states are now making the TIPS certification mandatory. The TIPS website shows that Massachusetts recognizes and accepts the TIPS certification but doesn't mention if its mandatory or not.
If you'd like to be extra sure, call a bar, restaurant or nightclub in Boston, ask for the manager and tell them you are looking to get a job and was wondering what certification, if any, is required.
Hope this helps.
I've heard that most of the schools are scams and also that you don't need a bartending license. I don't know what to believe or what to do. I would love to bartend part time, but I don't know how to get started. Can you help?|||if you are in a big city go to a bar and ask if they need a bar back, it is sort of an apprentice. You will learn the ropes and get your foot in the door. when someone calls off you are the first call. If you are in a small city just go and apply. They will teach you and you will be on your way. remember to not be embarrassed if you don't know what is in a drink. If they can't tell you what is in it they don't get it. Good luck and it is alot of fun.|||I was a bartender for 7 years, and the place I worked also had waitresses...sometimes the company likes to hire within...and that is what ours did. I was a server for 1 year and then they approached me and asked if I wanted to bartend...And I said I know nothing about it...but they train you for a week and send you home with their bar book and study away...do not waste money on bartending schools..they are a rip off....you learn more on your own and through the customers....and mistakes are still drank ha ha
You just need to go into these places and apply on the application for a bartender, they will ask if you have experience, and sometimes the personality will out weigh the no experience...It is very fast paced job and can become stressful...but the money IS FABULOUS....we also had tip share and the waiters and waitresses had to give tipshare to the bartender and hostess and expediter...for tipshare oh MAN that brought in the bucks for doing nothing...I walked out daily with 180.00. and on the weekends 500.00 It is all in your personality and the regulars...and of course the location of the establishment..|||check out www.totallyfreebartending.com, for starters. apply as a cocktail server, to learn the ropes, while making great money. it will also give you a better idea, if you are cut out for the business. bartending is very hard work, it is a physically & mentally demanding job. if it is for you, ask to work a few shifts as barback, picking up pointers from the bartenders. then fill in on less busy shifts. then move on to bigger & better bars/restaurants.|||Yes, bartending schools are pointless and a waste of your money. You are much better off starting in a bar as a cocktailer and moving your way up. A lot of cocktail servers help out while the bartender goes on breaks and the bartender will teach them when they are slow and bored. It's much better to learn hands on, and depending on where you work the POS/Micros, etc system might have a drink list you can refer to if you forget how to make drinks. There is always a "bible" tucked somewhere behind a counter, too. Also, don't be afraid to just ask people what's in the drink they request. If they don't know what's in it, they shouldn't be drinkin' it in the first place.
Depending on what state you live, you need a liquor license to bartend. I live in Washington so you need to have a Class 12 and a Food Handler's.|||It depends on where you live. I would never go to a school. Most drinks have more than 1 receipe. It would be too confusing to learn the drinks all over again. Most times if you start as a server somewhere and have the right looks, you can be promoted to the bar. TGI FRIDAYS has one of the most extensive bar training ever. This is a huge benefit! Just a little bit of training at a FRIDAYS will take you a long way.|||You do not need a license anywhere to tend bar. The most you'll need is a food-handlers certificate, which you can earn in less than a day at a class put on by the health department. Not every state requires even that much.
Bartending schools are a scam. I went to one "sample class" and it's fun but expensive and ultimately useless. Get a bartending book and learn the basics -- a martini, a cosmo, a margarita. Most places you'll work at will have their own method for anything more complicated.
Apply to be a cocktail waiter or a bar-back. In a week you'll be speaking the language of booze.|||Check this link out they teach you how to be a bartender and help place you. Also it may help to move to a location that is either tourist or bar friendly.

Will I be denied bacause of the prior ID theft record????|||If you are still going through the court process then you have not been convicted yet and can say no convictions.}{|||Bartender licenses are handled by local municipalities. They are no black and white rules. Issuing them is totally discretionary and if you are denied then you have a right to appeal.

THANKS!|||Welcome to the big time! Being a bartender is great fun, without a doubt it has been my most enjoyable job. I have been a bartender for over 15 years and have loved most every night of it.
Being a bartender is either something you can or cannot do. Not to sound conceded but it is not something everyone is capable of. You have to be able to track numerous things at the same time, think of drinks, think of food orders you have, and how drunk people are, your cocktail waitresses, etc.
You will know within the first two weeks if it is the right job for you.
I recently wrote an article on my blog about this exact subject, What does it take to be a bartender.
http://www.ihatedroz.com/what-does-it-ta鈥?/a>
As far as drink recipes go, I would not worry about it too much. No matter how many drinks you know people will always ask for one you have never heard of, you have to be ready to say I don't know that drink, can you tell me whats in it?
Just relax and be yourself, if you are made for it the job will be easy.
Learning the drinks will all come in the first couple of weeks of the job. Most recipes are different depending on where you live, so east coast long islands have Tequila and the mid-west puts triple sec in it. So depending on who you are making it for you may be right or wrong. What matters is your clients have fun, if you make a drink wrong, learn from it and start over.|||If you learned bartending at a school then refer to your course drink guides. If not you may want to enroll in one since there are 65,000 drink recipes and the most basic 60 or so will be absolutely necessary to maintain a job bartending. Speed is equally important in any bartending job so you can't fumble timewise as you learn how to make a long island iced tea or a russian quaalude along with 5 other drinks in 3 minutes.

They go over what is on the test within that few hours. It's about knowing the laws about serving intoxicated people, how to tell if someone is drunk, how to tell a valid ID from a fake. Nothing too hard or extreme. They don't teach you how to make drinks or anything like that- just the legal stuff. I think even at the tech school, I only paid $20 and it was reimbursed by my employer. You need the certification even to sell liquor at a grocery store.|||1st. there is no such thing as a bar tending license in most of the world

It will cost you about $25 (unless there is a special like this site) to do it online but some restaurants will provide the course in the restaurant.

As for the Liquor Laws well that's a whole new mess every county is different so when you get your TABC certification they will tell you more about dry counties and different rules when your serving alcohol.

I'm only 18 and I was wondering if it is possible to get my bartending license. I live in Wisconsin. Please help.|||let me repeat this for the 400th time
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BAR TENDING LICENCE
the only licence involved with selling alcohol is the licence the bar/restaurant is required to have. There are certification courses all over the US that teach you how to mix drinks and other services, and some locations require a responsible server course, which is usually a couple hour class you can do on a weekend, or over the internet.
finally, Wisconsin does allow 18 year olds to tend bar, but chances of a bar hirning someone who can't even legally taste what they are mixing is pretty unlikely.|||You can Bartend in Wisconsin at age 18. And you do have to have a License in Wisconsin. There is a course you can take online and it is approved by the Wisconsin Dept. of Revenue. It takes 2 to 4 hours to complete the course. You can instantly print your certificate upon completion Ill give you the link so you can take a look . http://servingalcohol.com/wisconsin-bart鈥?/a> Hope this was helpful . If you want to take a bartending course check out http://Bartendingexposed.com its 37.00. Highly Recommend by a lot of people. Good luck|||I used to bartend in WI, and yes, THERE IS A BARTENDING LICENSE IN WI. You only have to be 18.
State law requires that at least one person behind the bar be licensed. Anyone else can work behind the bar with them and it is legal, so technically you don't have to have one as long as someone else does. I used to have to "work" at my bar on my off days so one of our hot bartenders could work. She had a few DUI's and couldn't get hers.
Check with your city hall (look up city clerk in the white pages), they will have classes (about 4 hours and a test) I don't remember how much it cost. Also, if you have any recent Underage consumption tickets or DUI's they may not license you.
The best way to get into bartending is to try to get a job as a barback somewhere (you stock ice, bottles, beer, etc). That way you can learn the trade before you get thrown to the wolves. We never hired someone right off the street unless they had experience.
If you can't get into a barback job, try getting into a restaurant like chili's or applebees. They are a joke of a bartending job, and they will usually hire you straight out. Get experience there and then try to find a real bar to work at.
Don't go to bartending school, it's a joke, and everyone I've ever known to have gone said it is a waste of $$. Any good bar will teach you what you need to know, and they will pay you instead of you having to pay them.
It might be a good idea to get your license though, that way any employer knows that you are serious about it when you walk in the door.
Good Luck!
ps. Don't emulate the movie cocktail, we make fun of bartenders that think they know how to flair just because they watched the movie. The only way to learn flair is to have someone teach you.
pps. WI has a really cool law where you can drink in the bar if you are with your legal guardian. See if you can get your mom or dad to take you in to have a few drinks! My mom would drive in from MN to take me when I was underage in WI.|||Yeah you're old enough to have a license in WI. If the place you're considering is a restaurant that requires you to have one and you kinda know what you're doing below is a link to a place where you can take the exam/exam prep online then print off a thing which you take to your local court house and bamo you're licensed.
If you're totally clueless as how to mix very basic drinks or you're going to be applying at actual bars you might want to look for a bartending academy near to you that would actually teach you how to mix quite a few drinks & would probably set up the exam and cert fro you.

The Texas unemployment rate is about the same as the US national average at around 9.6%, which means that it might not be 'easy' to find a job there.
No. Check your state's liquor laws to see if a license is required (I know Nevada requires one, but all the states I have worked in have not...)|||I bartended in New Jersey for 25 years and never had a license. It was never required. Are you maybe confusing it with a certificate program that you would get from a bartending school?

i want to change careers into bartending
i live in San Francisco, California
what certifications are well respected in California? is it something i can do online? i was led to believe i can get a cert for around $50....is this true?|||Sweetroll is absolutely correct!
Here's a little secret bartending schools don't tell you... NOT ONE STATE REQUIRES BARTENDERS TO HAVE A BARTENDING CERTIFICATION/LICENSE! It's BS. You do, however, have to be a certain age to do so. (P.S. please never use the word mixology/mixologist. It's pretentious & unnecessary.) There are people who make drinks & there are bartenders. Bartenders take the time to learn the craft. They learn wine, beer & liquor making processes besides drink recipes. I honestly believe any goon can make a drink, but a bartender will take the time to learn the origin of drinks & history of alcohol in general.
If you're serious, I recommend picking up a few cocktail books and studying them thoroughly. Buy pourers and practice your pours (using an empty bottle filled with water.) Learn different wine making processes, differences between beers & learn the different types of spirits and their uses in cocktails.
Learn how to properly serve wine (pairing, presenting bottle, whom the serve first, etc.) Also, learn to upsell. I would recommend you start out as a server first. Most restaurants promote bartenders from within and don't hire bar school grads because a LOT of information they are taught is incorrect.
The majority of bar school grads I know are not bartending and the majority of bartenders I know, did not go to school. We started serving (or even hosting) and worked our way up.|||You don't need to be certified in CA. Don't go to one of those dumb schools either. They dont teach yo any thing.
Establishments don't hire anyone from these schools.
You don't get a good gig right away. Try working as a bar back and pay attention.
Would people prefer hiring someone with a license from bartending school, or someone who has been working for them for a while. Also does it matter location? Say one with license, and one with just experience both applies to apple bee, or chilies. Also both people applying to a Bar.

A lot of bars prefer to hire an inexperienced bartender because then they can train you the way they want to. |||Don't go to bartending school (i.e. don't waste the money) unless the job you are applying to requires such an endevour (usually only hotels and casinos ask for that kind of stuff)
Also, most states don't require a license either. Depending on what state you live in you need to make sure of the age requirements (most states require that you are 21 years old and that's it, some want you to get a state license...etc...) Just check the laws for your state (go here: http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/StateAn鈥?/a>
The most important thing that you should do is pick up the Bartender's Black Book (you can usually find it at a local package store, if not order it from Amazon). It has thousands of recipes, Plus all the basics, terms, and measurements you need to memorize immediately. Learning your pour count, knowing how to make a Long Island, a Martini, a Cosmo, how to tap a keg, etc...
Other than knowing how to pour drinks and serve drinks quickly, the main thing a bartender has to do is listen/talk to people. Make sure you are a people person. You have to love to listen too, especially to drunks. You also want to be up to date on local stuff (where the best entertainment spots are, the nearest hotel, the cab's number, etc...) You also need to have at least two jokes you can pull from memory. One dirty, and one you could tell your mother. Both have to be funny. Also be up to date on all sports scores, especially on local teams. Know who is playing who and at what time (make sure to have it on the TV too).
When starting out, it may be tough to get a job. The best thing to do is to apply to all the places that cycle through bartenders/barbacks a lot (like restaurants, hotel bars, etc...) Then find bars that you like personally and become somewhat of a regular at those places. Get to know the other bartenders, owners, managers, and then in a few months drop the line that you would be willing to work for them. Start out as a barback and work your way up. Most small bars are run like families anyway. You will have to know your fellow employees well. That is how I got my first two bartending jobs and eventually made it to bar manager.
Bartending is an extremely fun job. You will meet tons of people and hear lots of interesting stories. Plus you will know alcohol better than the back of your hand. I find it to be quite rewarding when it comes to the bank account too.
Have Fun and Good Luck!
I'm an 18-year-old college student and I live in Syracuse NY, and want to get a bartending license so I have more job options. I'd prefer to take a course that isnt too time consuming. Also, how much does it cost?|||It is different in the State that you live in. You need to take a course online or at a local college. I prefer taking the course online (roughly $18.00). This is a 4 hour class online at your own computer if you have one. Once you pass the course you will recieve your certificate through the mail. Once you get the certificate you then go down to the Municipal Building and fill out a form for you bartenders license. When doing this you will need your certificate, ID, and roughly $75.00. I live in Wisconsin and this is what I had to do.
FACT: No license is needed to bartend; as long as you are 18 you can apply for a bartending job! Some establishment may request that you have a certification from an established and licensed bartending school, but it is not required by law. However, if you are serious about bartending in New York then you need a school that is equally serious about it's bartending training. When the bar manager puts you behind that busy bar for the first time, you had better know what you are doing! When you research bartending schools in New York then we suggest you sit in on a class on the first day of the start of a class and again on the last day when that same students are taking their speed test! You will soon see how good (or not) the training of that bartending school is! It is also a good time to talk to the students and get their opinion of the school's training!|||Contact numbers for NY State Liquor Authority:

Hi, I was looking into getting a bartending license and found this site http://www.servercertificationcorp.com/state.php?statecode=%27FL%27
Does it look like a legitimate site? Please let me know|||I am not sure which state that you live in. But there are certain states that require their employees to take a class the alcohol server education course. But not all states require you to take this course. These are the states that require you to be certified TX, AL, TN, LA, NM, UT, NV-varies by city, OR, WA, MN-varies by city, WI, KY-varies by city, MA-varies by city,MI-Managers only. The rest of the states are voluntary Certification and not required to take the class. If I was you I would call the bars that you plan on applying at and ask the bartender if that bar requires that you be certified to work there. And if they had to pay out of there pocket to get their certification or does the bar pay for there employees to attend the class. If the bartender had to be certified,ask if is has an expiration date on the card. This could save you some money. Hope this info was helpful.

many locations require you to take a responsible server class/certification, which is usually a weekend course, or done online. if this company says you need a licence or they give you a licence, it sounds fishy.|||There is no universal "Bartending License" in the US. There is, however, several things that many bars and restaurants refer to as a "Bartending License," and they are:
1. ServSafe Certification with the NRA (National Restaurant Association). This is a 3-year certification for the safe service of alcohol. Some states/cities have other certifications through the NRA, but the ServSafe is the "Big Daddy" of them all and usually supersede them.
2. A Mixology Certification. What's the diference between a Bartender and a Mixologist??? Well, it's the difference between a Cook and a Chef. Anyone can be trained to be a cook (just spend enough time in a kitchen and you'll learn something!) - but being a chef requires more than a little training! Also, Chefs (like Mixologists) make WAY more money than cooks (like Bartenders).
Finally, bartending is a "Hands-on" job - it's not something you learn through books, DVDs, or on the web - you learn it working behind a bar! There's only two ways to do that: either start off as a server, work your way up to being a bar-back, then become a bartender (which takes about 5 years) - or get the professional training at a professional bartending school with credentials, a proven history, and a verified Job Placement program!
I'm 20 years old. How old do you have to be to serve alcohol in NY? Will I be able to find a job there in this situation?|||There is no such thing as a bartending licence in most of the world
some states require a responsible serving certification which I belive Florida requires but NY does not, so go ahead and apply as a bar tender... if they require a responsible certification, they will tell you and usually pay for it.
No, you do not need any formal training in bartending in Kentucky. Also, state law requires that the server be at least 20 years old. For a list of states and their bartending requirements, see the link below. The majority of states have no requirements, while some require only that the owner and/or manager is licensed.

For starters. Go to www.gettips.com. It is what alot of the states use to certify you to legaly serve alcohol. It will tell you if your state uses tips training or not.

I bartend in Fl and as long as you are 18 you can serve you just cant try any of your drinks. What they might want from you and most bars in fl have this, is a food handlers certificate.

You certainly can't take the test before you turn 18. If you pass, you'd be a licensed 17 year old bartender. There would then be nothing stopping someone from hiring you (yes, they're not supposed to but you'd have a license; think illegal aliens and fruit).

Great at making drinks and I want to work at a bar but not sure what they want.|||You don't need a license but very few bars will hire you to be a bartender right out of the gate. In my area you have to be a bar back first. You wash glasses, run for new bottles, and keep ice/fruit stocked. On slower nights they teach you how to work the bar. You get a cut of the tips (about ten percent), and after a few months of busting your butt you'll be bartending and getting a full share of the tips (and that can be anywhere from 60 to a 400 bucks a night)|||Depends on the jurisdiction. In the US and Europe there is no government licensing requirements that I know of, just minimum age requirements.
So, you've sort of answered your own question. The bars want someone who's great at making drinks. ;)

I only know about bartending "licenses" is the US. But... just so you know, (in the US) it is not a "license".... and, its not just for bartenders. Anyone who serves alcohol needs one. Different states will call it by different names. Usually, it is called a "Server's Certificate" or an "Alcohol Server's Permit". You get them through your state's "Liquor Control Commission" or the "State Alcohol Bureau" (or whatever it's called in your state. Every state has a different name for the agency in charge of liquor control).
In most states, it involves taking a class, taking a test and paying a small fee (about $30). Its pretty easy. Here is the website and "Alcohol Server's Permit" information for the "Liquor Control Commission" in my state:

Just so you know, its not really "bartending school" and its not a "bartending license" Its just a class you take to get your certification so that you can sell alcohol legally in your state. I think the website says it costs $15 dollars to take the class. They don't teach you how to make drinks in this class. The class is all about state alcohol laws, rules and regulations that you need to know as an employee in a restaurant. This is the only requirement you need to have in order to serve alcohol in Nevada. You are not required to have a "bartender's license".
Bartending school is something different. Bartending schools teach you how to make drinks. Personally, I think these school are a waste of money. They don't teach you anything that a good drink dictionary couldn't teach you. You can pick up a drink dictionary from a used bookstore for $1.50. Save your money and stay away from these schools. These schools are considered to be a "sham" in the hospitality industry and they are not well respected.

Positions in Los Angeles is limited because liquor license if limited.

To answer you question, No establishments don't care about which school you attend.

MOST IMPORTANTLY : How easy is bartending ? and will a place hire someone who is just starting out new with no prior experience?|||Don't go to bartending school (i.e. don't waste the money) unless the job you are applying to requires such an endevour (usually only hotels and casinos ask for that kind of stuff)
Also, most states don't require a license either.

It has thousands of recipes, Plus all the basics, terms, and measurements you need to memorize immediately. Learning your pour count, knowing how to make a Long Island, a Martini, a Cosmo, how to tap a keg, etc...
Other than knowing how to pour drinks and serve drinks quickly, the main thing a bartender has to do is listen/talk to people. Make sure you are a people person. You have to love to listen too, especially to drunks. You also want to be up to date on local stuff (where the best entertainment spots are, the nearest hotel, the cab's number, etc...) You also need to have at least two jokes you can pull from memory. One dirty, and one you could tell your mother. Both have to be funny. Also be up to date on all sports scores, especially on local teams. Know who is playing who and at what time (make sure to have it on the TV too).
When starting out, it may be tough to get a job. The best thing to do is to apply to all the places that cycle through bartenders/barbacks a lot (like restaurants, hotel bars, etc...)

they allow you to retake tests, and they will even let you take the same class more than once if you cant catch the grasp of what is going on.
it takes only 2 week or if you want you can do it in one week. if you only want to have class one day per week it would be only 5 weeks to graduate.
good luck finding a place to hire you with no experience and an online degree. most people look down on ANY kind of online degree. I have been waitressing for 3 years steady now and the bartenders always tell me their job is so much easier than serving, because you only pour drinks and don't have to run to the kitchen for many and various things like dressing and spoons etc.

Not only how to make drinks, what goes with what, what can be used in it's place, product knowledge and the tricks of the trade. Getting a licence is rather important. When seeking work, you are always asked for two things, licence and experience.

That is the best way. You have a bartenders guide if you need it and customers are willing to tell you how to make a drink you do not know. My boss will only hire people that have not gone to school. There are many schools out there that is a better idea than on line.
I have no experience bartending and i know i need a license in order to get even a consideration for a job, but unfortunately i live in college station texas, which is far from all the bartending schools that are in person. Is it worth it to just go ahead and do it online?|||total rip-off|||First of all I want to tell you that you do not need a bartending license. There is no such thing. I was like you I had no experience bartending. I always wanted to become a bartender because you can work in any state and anywhere where there are bars. Bartenders make 150.00 or more in a night. Plus you get a pay check. I am going to collage at FSU in Fl. I wanted to work at one of the bars here, there are so many collage bars. My friend recommend a bartending book/course that I could download it cost me 37.00 .Its called Bartendingexposed.com I studied and studied until I knew my drink recipes and everything else bar set up etc. I went out and applied for jobs, it took me 1 week and I got a job at a collage bar. I am doing real good and making great money. I learned everything that I needed to know to bartend from this book. I would recommend it also to anyone wanting to learn how to bartend. Also, so many people have been saying on yahoo answers that schools are a rip off. I really don't know. But I do know that they are very expensive 600.00 here for a 2 week course. Way to much for me. Anyway, I didn't need to go to a school . Hey hope this info was helpful. Don't give up on your dreams I didn't!|||ya but it hard going to college and bartender your up till 4am nightly.
I want to get my bartending license but the classes are expensive. I already know most of the drinks, and I spoke to someone that said she uses her TAM card but she's not sure if every state recognizes it. She's from Nevada, i'm in New Jersey!|||You dont need a license. The schools certification is just resume filler to add to the level of your qualification. The only license required is the license to sell liquor which is the establishments responsibility to have. Good luck
Can you start taking classes to get your bartending license before you are 21?|||You need to be 21... the main reason though is how would you know if you were doing stuff right if you couldn't taste what you were making? A Bartender who doesn't know their drinks by taste is gonna be a bad one ;)
Sorry!|||Yes you can. It depends on what state you are in though. In Arizona, for example, you are allowed to bartend and serve drinks at 19 years old.|||It depends on the state. I took a bartending class in Hawaii when I was only 20 and I bartended and then moved back home to Ohio and had to wait until I was 21 to start bartending.|||http://www.phoenixbartendingschool.com/b鈥?/a>

Thanks|||do you have any pictures allie? please send to death.iscertain@yahoo.com|||In the US, each state has it's own alcohol service license that anyone who serves alcohol must get: bartenders, cocktail servers, cashiers at liquer stores. It's a four hour course and a test, but luckily it only costs $25 - 40 depending on the state. It's not bartending school, but more like laws. Unfortunately I don't about Calgary. |||No but you will have to get what is called an ASIP certificate. Some bars/pubs/liquor stores etc will pay for their employees to take the test (or they used to). If not, you'll have to take it yourself, though i think it's only 25 bucks. You can take it online, pass a pretty easy test, and they'll send you a little card. Trust me, lots of employers working with booze will be looking for you to have that card, and it will make your life easier having one
Go to the website and look around...the one you would want is 'accelerated learning at $25 online'...you can take the test within 60 days.

I was just wondering if there two separate things. Im looking to try to bartend this summer, and I already have my liquor license from a previous job. Do I need to get a bartending license in order to bartend?|||There is no such thing as a bartending license. The only thing required for a person to bartend is that they be 18+. I also doubt you have a liquor license because those cost several tens of thousands of dollars if not hundreds of thousands, because that means you have your own business that sells alcohol.|||Liquor License: A license required to sell liquor at an establishment. The bar, club, or establishment needs to own one of these to legally serve liquor in the designated region. It can be revoked if they serve to minors or break any of the regulations surrounding the liquor license. You don't need to worry about getting one of these as a bartender.
Bartending License: A "license" issued to graduates of bartending schools to show the completion of the course. They are not required anywhere if you want to get a bartending job. They can help to show that you have some education in the matter, but experience will always be preferred over a bartending course.|||First, there is no such thing as a bartending "license" in the U.S. Some states do require you to get a certification by attending a class that lasts a couple of hours and some companies will pay the fee for you if you work for them.
Be careful, though.
The reason they make you take the course isn't what you might think. the certification makes you an "educated server" in the eyes of the law. if you serve an "obvious intox" in the past, it was the bar owners who shouldered the burden of the laws. Not if you are certified. If you serve an obvious intox, it is now your responsibility, not the owners, anymore. Any damage, monetary and physical, is now on you and any judgment will come out of your pocket, not the owners.|||No one is for if you want to start your own burery- sorry if that's spelled wrong. my dad and grandpa own a wine buiness and without a license you can get into big trouble, a bartending license just say's you know your liquers such as wine's beer's and so forth, it also lets you open up your own bar' and sell some to most 'iquer prodects depending on your state and rule's.|||I would think so. A liquor license is probably just a license to sell liquor and a bar tending license is probably a license to make drinks containing liquor.
I received my bartending license in Nov 07 and got a ticket for contributing to minors June of 08. Can I still bartend now?|||im pretty sure they revoke your license as soon as that happens|||you didn't mention where you were. there is no such thing as a federal bar tending license, and most states doesn't have any sort of license, so you have to clarify where you are for us to answer this.

Im thinking about getting my bartending license and was wondering if anyone had any tips on mixing drinks, and well being a bartender in general. I want to be the kind of bartender everyone wants to tip, so help me become the best.|||Best shot at tips:
Remember their names.
Remember their drinks.
Ask them about a little something personal "How's that new girlfriend?"
Be fast.
Make people think you're giving them special service. (serve your high tipping regular first)
Hook them up with comps if your bar allows it.|||Watch "Cocktail" at least 10 times.|||work fast keep my glass full and I tip well.
Where can i get my bartending license right outside of new york city??
How much does it usually cost??|||Since licenses for serving and selling alcohol are handled by individual states you need to contact your state's department responsible for handling enforcing the liquor laws. They will be able to give you a list of classes, times and locations. Most of the time if you already have a job at a bar they will help you get your license and in some cases they might even have a deal worked out where you might get a discount on the cost of the class.

Studies have shown that HIIT burns fat FAR faster than traditional excercise. HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is essentially going balls to the wall until you can't push yourself any further, then resting until your heart rate gets back down, then doing it again.
Using running as an example... 30 minutes of HIIT with sprint/rest/sprint/rest/sprint will burn more fat faster than 30 minutes of pacing yourself in a constant jog.|||ya i hope that's true..i run too..well try a certain sit up...lay down with ur legs in a frog like position put ur hands behind ur head and do a Crunch motion just to get ur shoulder blades off the ground (with legs in frog position) this target the one area|||that is BS. look at distance runners--most of them are thin.

I have the book. Its not bad stuff. Basically it boils down to eating right and exercise. Dont waste your money on crap on the infomercials. Most of it is just hooey.
You arent gonna get rid of belly fat unless you eat very cleanly, which Mike can teach you to do, although the info is out there for free. But you are gonna have to exercise as well.

You need something you can sustain, or it won't work.
You lose fat by doing cardio. Once that fat is gone, you need to do strength training to tone the muscles (although it's a lot easier to do strength training over time so your muscles look great after losing the fat).
You can't tell your body where to lose fat when you're doing your cardio, no matter what you might read. Your body chooses where to lose the fat first. (I wish we could spot reduce, but it's simply not possible.) Generally you lose it in reverse of where you gained it, but that's not always the case.

Hi guys
I need some honest reviews about the Truthaboutabs.com website. I wonder if the program in this website really work and how is it compare to similar programs online. Just people that tried it, please tell me what do you think about The Truth About Abs program by Mike Geary and what did you like and didn't about this program.
Thanks|||Hi Dobi
I bought this program from the Truthaboutabs.com website few weeks ago and in my opinion the Truth About Abs is a great training program.
This is a very comprehensive program and What I really liked best about it is the active support of the creator of this program, Mike Geary. Every email I sent him with questions was answered within 1-2 days. The answers were complete and the service excellent.
However, I must say that this program isn't for everyone: if you're not prepared to alter your eating habits, do intensive workouts, and actively strive to improve your physical condition, don't waste your money on the Truthaboutabs. This is a program for serious people. If you're the sort of person who believes that you can get flat abs without working hard, then this program isn't for you.
I don't know if the Truthaboutabs is the best program online but with the 60 days money back guarantee and great customer support it may be a good idea to check this program before wasting a lot of money on useless products.
By the way If you don't sure if the TruthAboutAbs program is really for you, you can use the link below to try the complete program for 21 days for only 4.95 dollars, hope it helps and all the best!
I'm thinking about buying this ebook by Mike Geary. However, I can't find any real reviews on it. all the ones I've read so far read like his sales page so I think he wrote them all.

No it's not a scam at all, this eBook is one of my favourites along with 'The Truth about Building Muscle' by Sean Nalewanyj.
I've read it twice and love it! If you follow what Geary says in the book then you really will get ripped. Actually this book led me to see my abs for the very first time.|||You don't need to read someone's book to tell you how to get 6 pack abs. Without knowing the book specifically it's probably a scam. If you want 6 pack abs be prepared to work for it:
5 small meals a day
Limit anything white (no sugar, no white bread etc)
Eat lean protein - fish chicken
Lots of vegetables, some fruits
Drink plenty of water
Avoid fruit juice, drink skim milk
Do sit ups, bicycle sit ups etc, swimming, skiing
Run regularly and do moderate light weight lifting
Get enough sleep and avoid stress
Do not drink or smoke.
Take vitamins
Inherit good genes
Essentially if you want to look like a 16 year old athlete you sort of have to live like one. Be active.

Im really trying to get back into shape for cheerleading i quit and now i want to get back into it and i don't really know how i've already wasted enough time on useless diets and workouts i really don't want to waste my time on this.
thank you so much!|||I only read the interview part on the front of his site(mikegreary.net) but he seems honest. Abs are largely shown through diet and fat loss not ab exercises. If your doing high intensity workouts that make you sweat and breath hard, its basically a different type of cardiovascular exercise even though it doesn't use machines.
My advice is if your interested in his program, pick up the book from the library since its free. If your local library doesn't have it, most libraries have inter library loans that are free. Basically you put your name down for the book, they ask another library in your province or state and you get it in about 2-5 days.
Don't pay a dollar for what you can get for free with so much advice and so many free workout plans available out there.|||Well I really can't say if it is a scam or not but as with any program, whether it is a weight lost regime always treat it like it could be a scam which means do your research on the company and the person, check for certificates, documents, degrees etc.. and you can also check with the BBB( Better Business Bureau) at www.bbb.org. And always go with your instincts, if your instincts are giving you red flags than go with your instincts.

I'm reading this thing about secrets to six pack abs. The guy goes on and on about how others are scams. Makes some pretty big claims about his research and himself. But I don't see any cross references backing up his research. So I want to hear from anyone who has this book and has had good or bad experiences with it.
Your input is helpful. To understand why I ask, read my last question about heart attacks. After what I saw, I don't want to end up like some 47 yr old 300 lb dead man. Health has a whole new meaning to me suddenly.

:)|||Hi, I bought the e-book over spring break and have been doing the exercises for over a week. I'm already in good shape but want to get even healthier.
I'm not related to Mike Geary at all...But the program is great. I've never been to the gym for shorter amount of time (less than 1 hour per session, 3 times a week), but I've never had better workouts.
Give the program a try, and it'll be worth it for sure.
I want to get down to 12-13% body fat percentage while bringing out some abs and lose the rolls of fat when I sit down in a bikini. Most of my fat is in my butt and lower abdomen. In other words, im quite curvy but I'm not huuuge. I have a pretty big chest too. Is Truth about Abs a good choice for me?|||If you really were 15.4 body fat you'd already have abs unless or your body fat is around the waist.
I don't know if that is a good programme, more than likely it's just a money making scheme.
And everyone gets rolls when they sit down, even if there is hardly any fat the skin will still roll up.
I was wondering exactly what is in this book. I'm not one of those people who need to lose 100+ pounds, only about 30-40 pounds, and I would like to know what is in this book before I would buy it. Because if it is just the same crap that I've already seen before I really don't want to buy this book. Is this book available anywhere besides the website about it? Even if you haven't read the book I would like your input on fat burners that you've done that really work. Thanx for answering.|||There's no new information in it.
Most fat burners are just a rip off. They work temporarily if they work at all, and most of them don't.
Notice there are no real guarantees on the box.|||It Mostly Contains workout programs that you should pick depending on your weight and age. It also has an in depth description of all the BEST abs exercises and how to do them and goes into depth about RMR (resting metabolic rate) which is SUPER Important. along side these is Dieting, Nutrition and what to avoid like weight loss pills or muscle mass supplements.
I would advise you to read up on the top 3 abs programs below to make sure truth about abs is actually the one you want
Now as I am curious to hear if this program is actually legitimate, which from what I have read about it seems to be pretty good, I also have another question about it. I just recently came across this online and it seems like a program I am very interested to try. But there is one thing keeping me from buying it or even doing the 21 day trial. I know that there is a diet to follow along with the workouts, but I am returning back to my college campus in a little over a week. I'm fine with counting calories, I do that religiously and am usually around 1200 a day sometimes even less. The thing is I have to live on campus for another full year before I'm able to move into an apartment/house meaning I still have meal swipes, which means I have to eat dorm food most of the time, once and a while I will buy something else or cook but sense I pay for the meal swipes it would be a huge waste of money to not use them at all. So, basically what I'm wondering is if this will still give me results if I just do the workouts and continue to count calories and eat healthier like I have been rather than following the diet provided? Thanks, any feedback is much appreciated!|||No i don't think you would get results....I think that since you are eating the dorm food then you should do twice as much than the workout ask calories you can get rid of those extra calories that the dorm food gives you!
i have many questions about this book:D
1. what are the unique excercises to get abs?
2. what are the foods that help weight loss?
3. what are the "healthy" foods that may help gain more weight?
4. what is the way to prevent eating junk food?
5. how do you keep a diet going for a long period of time?
thanks so much for answering these question:DD if you cant answer all of them please answer the ones you can:) thanks soo much|||I'm sorry this is not specifically your answer but in all honesty, whoever made this book can go **** themselves, if you want six pack abs you need to atleast have 10% or less bodyfat for males 15% bodyfat or less for females and doing a few curl ups (sit ups with your hands behind your head and about 30-60 once in the morning and once at night) will get you six pack abs in 2 months also to lose that bodyfat, eat fruit/vegetables/water if you crave food, drink 2 glasses of water 30 minutes or less before a meal will bring down your hunger levels and eating food that is generally healthy every once in a while. word from the wise, STICK TO IT don't take little days off because you don't want too because the ratio of getting weight as opposed to losing it in a fixed time frame is high 2:1 meaning its twice as easy to gain weight. goodluck. :D
If you read this book than could you tell me what are the main exercises that help on loosing waist fat?|||Just buy the book, but any type of exercise is going to help you and a strict diet.

Truth about abs from truthaboutabs.com by Mike Geary looks like a good program to get in shape.
Anyone got any feedback on this before I buy it? He says it is the number 1 rated program about the truth about six pack abs.

http://Click-on.to/Truth-About-Abs|||Actually, I used the truth about abs program about 5 or 6 months ago and loved it... I think I was weighing in at about 230 lbs or so when I started and had a big gut...
after about 2 months, I had dropped to about 202 lbs, but was actually stronger at the same time. I slacked off for a little while and gained some weight back, but I'm happy to say that I'm back on the program strong now and getting great results again... I wouldn't say I have a six pack yet, but I finally dropped under 200 lbs for the first time in over a decade and I feel better than ever. My gut is almost gone fully.
I def give the truth about abs my recommendation for anyone that wants to lose some extra belly fat in a sensible way.|||find out here ....http://kickkapoo.mikegeary1.hop.clickbank.net Report Abuse
I've searched all up and down Google till page 12 & haven't found 1 serious review. All I get are scam-like sites that just pressure the viewer into buying the product. So I was wondering if anyone on here has tried the program.& if so..is it legit?|||Not sure if it's legit or not as I haven't tried it but from what I have heard, the diet works on "tricking" your body's metabolism. Basically, if you starve your body, it will think food is scarce and your metabolism will slow down, but if you make your body think that food is in abundance by eating nutritious mini meals at the intervals prescribed in the diet (probably 2, 3 or 4 hour intervals but I'm not sure), it stimulates your body's metabolic rate. The diet probably also suggests introducing monounsaturated fats at every meal which some believe target belly fat.
As for the abs exercises, I can only guess that they would include exercises that strengthen your core; the deep abdominal muscles (pelvic floor) that hold everything in place, rather than the frontal abdominals which are the muscles usually targeted in stomach crunches.
Then there would probably be a soul-searching section to help you get your mind in the right place. Stuff about negative self talk, finding out what really triggers your cravings, emotional eating, stress, taking time for yourself, meditation etc.
I don't think it's a scam but I still wouldn't buy it. There are other similar books out there that you can get from your local library.
I just wathced the presentation from mike geary book" how to get a 6 pack and I m nearly shocked. IU have lean body and gr8 abs but with so much effort.

( not everything, just a few) to try them as long as the food and the workout are concerned?|||Hey,

Mike Geary sells books & programs like: "Mike Geary and the Truth About Six Pack Abs"
and advertises a unique exercise system that helps shed pounds faster & more efficiently.
When you search for reviews on this, up comes zillions of "reviews" promoting him and his products.
A few sites show people accusing him of being a scam, but without ever having tried his product; they just assume he's a scam artist.
What is the real deal about Mike Geary and his products (exercise programs, nutrition book, other books) ?|||Look I'll be honest with you. I have used the program and it works like charm
but let me warn you, if you watch the biggest loser and you expect to lose 10 pounds every week....
IT JUST WON'T HAPPEN
That is not realistic, not healthy and unsustainable for long period of time
Even though you could expect to lose more than 5-10 the first few weeks
Mike Geary program is about losing weight faster,healthy and most importantly sustainable for a long period of time
I guess my question to you is
Do you want to lose weight faster but regain the weight even faster? (ping pong diet, been there)
or Do you want to lose weight in a pace you can keep forever?

Confusing the metabolism by altering calorie intake each day.

Hey everyone
Maybe one of you heard about the german ebook "Die Wahrheit 眉ber Bauchmuskeln Von Mike Geary"? My German boyfriend want to buy it and I wonder if someone here can tell me more about this eBook and if it's really worth the money or not.
Any good or bad feedback about Die Wahrheit 眉ber Bauchmuskeln Von Mike Geary will be much appreciated.
Thank you|||Hey Adel
Firstly, Die Wahrheit ?ber Bauchmuskeln Von Mike Geary is the german edition of the Truth About Abs program.
I didn't buy the german edition "Die Wahrheit ?ber Bauchmuskeln" because I don't understand germany at all but I got myself the Truth About Abs program in English before few weeks and overall I can say that I am happy with my purchase.
The program is a lot more detailed and content rich compared with other popular programs on the net that I have tried using before and the customer support from Mike Geary is also much better.
I personally really like the mixture between workouts and diet that Mike Geary shows inside the Truth About Abs and I think that the sixty days refund policy from him is a fair deal that can allow anyone to try this program with no risks.
I don鈥檛 really feel that the Truth About Abs is a "magic pill" like some reviews on the net declare, however until now I鈥檓 really pleased with the results and I believe that with the right attitude it will be possible for your boyfriend to see noticeable results in just a few weeks. In any event, with the 100 % money-back guarantee I do not think that there is something to lose...
P.S. if you like to receive about 30% discount on the original price and to grab the full Die Wahrheit ?ber Bauchmuskeln system with all the bonuses for a special price, then listed below is a link that I have found in another answer at Yahoo Answers which could be used to purchase Die Wahrheit ?ber Bauchmuskeln Von Mike Geary for the cheapest price on the net (if this specific offer still exists)...
I hope that this helps...|||"The Truth About Abs"? Probably the usual nonsense. Looks like a scam to me, in English as well.

I can't help you with his exercises but I have some here you should try. they are great for getting toned and defined abs and busting away the fat that sits on the belly. I also recommend that you do 30 mins of cardio exercises 4 times a week. Try running and skipping and rowing machine (if you go to the gym) for the most effective fat burning. You'll achieve your goal quicker if you do both exercise and cardio.

I need to learn how to loose belly fat. I have heard of Mike Geary truth about six packs abs just want to confirm if it worth giving try or not. Any expert in the house, pls?|||It's worthy if you follow it properly. Truth about Six pack abs is mainly a balanced diet for you. Most people think that making Abs depend on how much you work on gym. It's not true entirely. If you work on gym too much it can create bad impact to your health. You need to do balanced diet, regular balanced exercise and truth about six pack abs will guide you to this. It will work if you follow it properly.|||Visible Abs - To get your abs to be visible you have to lower your body fat percentage because no matter how many sit ups you do, there is always that layer of fat covering your abs.
Strong Abs - To get strong abs perform strength training on abs and do toning exercises like sit ups and crunches. The stronger and bigger your abs, the better they look when you get them visible.
Getting abs can come naturally if you work out other muscles because it adds mass to your body and the more the mass, the more the calories you burn to maintain and carry your body around.
To get abs I suggest eating healthy, weight training, and cardio to burn fat and they will come naturally along with other muscles.
