convicted instructor
 INDIANA MAN SENTENCED ON CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CHARGES
WASHINGTON - James M. Tanksley, 52, office manager and instructor at Drive Zone in Greenwood, pleaded guilty today to two counts of receipt
of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography and was sentenced to 80
months in prison, announced Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division Lanny A.
Breuer and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana Timothy M. Morrison.
Tanksley, a resident of Indianapolis, was also sentenced today by U.S. District Court
Judge Sarah Evans Barker to lifetime supervised release following completion of his prison term.
During today’s plea and sentencing hearing before Judge Barker, Tanksley admitted to
being a member of two Internet-based bulletin board groups dedicated to the trading of child
pornography. The groups, comprised of members from around the world, could only be
accessed using a unique username and password. The groups had very detailed rules for
behavior, including requiring all members to post only pornographic images or videos depicting
minors under the age of 18. Members were also required to post their images or videos in preestablished
categories based on the type of material, such as hardcore videos or individual
images of girls aged 0-6.

Fast, affordable and friendly service
 I went to the Keyosk to have two nametags created. Through a miscommunication, a punctuation error was made, but John (the owner) happily offered to re-make them in 20 minutes. The nametags look professional, are made of good quality, and only cost $7 apiece. I would definitely go back to the Keyosk if I need other nametags, or to have any keys cut or engravings done.

Wonderful Place...
This is a favorite spot of mine and has been for some time. I tend to get the Short Ribs - they are always tender and tasty, but the Scallops are also excellent.
Its a little pricey but well worth it, the service is second to none and the food was exceptional. Can't wait to be back in Seattle and try Zoe again

Get it while its hot!
So the deal with this place is the food is excellent - albeit a very small menu - most of the usual Italian favorites; pizza, rice balls, potato balls and all kinds of calzone. They open up at 11am and close early afternoon, because they sell out on most stuff by then!
Their pizza's are traditional old school style, great crust, no toppings and not fancy, served fresh from the oven. It's not a tourist spot - which is great - more for the locals!
It's not big on atmosphere & decor - just great food and its tremendously clean, considering how much food they sell. The food says it all - a must go!

mixed feelings...
 This used to be an awesome spot to make an impression; a first date or a business dinner in Georgetown. However, the seating spaces are tight - so don't expect to break out your laptop and papers!
First of all - the food is still very good (the chef is clearly a talent) but its not the spot it used to be.
I've found that the staff are a little rude recently - I'm not sure if the ownership has changed, but the place has a different feel to it.
For an authentic Japanese meal it ticks all the boxes and you'll pay top dollar for it.

Long Island BBQ..
Long Island isn't exactly a hotbed when it comes to southern style BBQ restaurants, but Smokin' Al's is the closest you'll find to an authentic smoke house.
I've been a few times now - their ribs, brisket and ribs are good. The sausage and chicken are also excellent.
Probably, the stand-out BBQ on Long Island - but BEWARE they are not great for large groups, to avoid the crowds order online or by phone and pick up.

The ONLY place to take your cars!!
Whether you have the misfortune of breaking down on the highway, as we did or just need minor repairs or maintenance, I can't possibly give a higher recommendation for Anderson Automotive. With a 10 year old and family pet in tow, the Andersons made getting us all back on the road, the same day their number one priority. Honesty, integrity and customer service are their main motivators and it shined through every minute of our detour at their repair shop. They went above and beyond in so many ways and we only wish we lived closer to make them our regular repair shop. Make Anderson Automotive your first choice and you will NEVER regret it, guaranteed!!!!

BUYERS BEWARE!!! I FOUND THE DEVIL IN GEORGIA!!!!
I found several car & SUV ads posted on Craigs List on 2/22/2010 from one particular dealership located in Atlanta, Georgia. This so called “dealership” goes by the operating name of Drew International Brokerage or Drew International Brokerage, LLC. Their web site is www.atlcashcars.com
DO NOT…I REPEAT DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!!
All of their staff and sales people are liars and scam artists. They are fraudulently advertising & misrepresenting several vehicles & SUV’s ranging in price from $3,500 to $5,999. Believe me when I say each of these deals are too good to be true (Ever heard of bait & switch?!?!). I wouldn’t give two hoots in hell for any one of the vehicles they had on either of their lots!!! I’ve seen better vehicles sitting rusted out in salvage yards!
To begin, I called their number and spoke with what I thought to be a nice, honest salesman by the name of Derek. I informed Derek that I was a cash buyer with money in hand and asked him several standard questions about one vehicle in particular, a 2001 Yukon Denali. He assured me that the vehicle had never been wrecked and was in good operating condition (this was also stated in their Craigs List ad). I live in Tennessee, about 4 hours away from Atlanta so I asked Derek if I were to drive down that day could he assure me that the vehicle would be there when I got there. He assured me this as well. Derek was even so nice as to call me back to let me know that they were taking the vehicle to their “service department” for a “tune up” before I got there and wanted to know a ball park time of when I thought I would arrive. As I got closer to Atlanta, I called back to let Derek know that I was about 30 minutes away and was going to ask him to have the vehicle ready when I got there. To my surprise, Derek was no where to be found! The one lot told me that he had gone to the other so I called the other. Guess what…no Derek there either!! During this conversation I spoke with Andre, also a seemingly nice sales person. He did inform me that during their “tune up” that they discovered a sensor that needed to be replaced. He said that it was no big deal and that they could run next door to Auto Zone to get the part and that they would have it fixed before I got there.
Then the fun began! When I arrived I was surprised to find a NASTY, RUN DOWN, DISGUSTING road side junk lot. I can honestly say had I been alone I would not have even turned in! I immediately saw what I thought to be the Denali I was interested in sitting on the outskirts of the lot. As I pulled further into the lot I saw another identical Denali sitting on the other side of the lot. The bumper was barely hanging on, the hood looked like someone had taken a broom handle to it, the tires were so bare that you could see the steel belts and had large chunks of rubber missing; the interior smelled like a decaying dead body and was absolutely filthy. Guess what…this was the Denali I inquired about. You know, the one that had never been wrecked and was in good working order. Further to my dismay, the other Denali was in worse shape and basically torn apart from front to back!! I guess they thought they would be slick and snag parts from one to fix the other. This must be what they meant by “tuning it up” in their “service department”.
The salesman that greeted me (not Derek or Andre) explained to me that they had just received both vehicles on their lot earlier this morning (mind you it is now 2/23/2010 and the ad, with pictures was posted on 2/22/2010). Again, ANOTHER LIE from ANOTHER SALESMAN! It only went drastically down hill from there!!
I was absolutely furious and boisterously let this salesman know it. Thankfully, I saved at least one family from making the huge mistake of buying from Drew International because they left the lot after hearing my nicety tirade in the middle of the lot. The salesman finally offered me $40 as a peace offering, or hush money, however you wish to interpret it (I am sure he was in the hopes that I would shut up and leave). Needless to say, I wasted a day of work, a tank and half of gas, 8 plus hours of driving and added several hundred miles to my father’s vehicle…all for $40, a weak handshake and a sly smile.
DO NOT…I REPEAT DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME DOING BUSINESS WITH DREW INTERNATIONAL BROKERAGE OR DREW INTERNATIONAL BROKERAGE, LLC!!!!

cheated by this company
I was sold a floor model tempur-pedic and told it was never used.I was also never told it's age.I purchased this bed for$3000.00 and when it arrived at my home(I paid for delivery)it was clearly used and stained and the tempur material was soft without support.I actually wonder if they sent me a different bed as the one i laid on in the store.When I spoke with the owner of the store she said it was 5 yrs old!!! but had never been used only as a floor model.My friends own this type of bed and they all say this bed is USED!!!!And that I was ripped off.When I asked for a refund the owner was rude.3000.00 dollars for a used bed???I will never shop there again and my advice is to avoid this store.You too may be cheated out of your hard-earned money!!!

TRULY A GREAT PLACE TO TAKE YOUR DOG
I have been a client of Deshon Animal Hospital for the past 13 years. As the new owners came aboard I was a little skeptical because I did not know them. However, Dr. Toler and Dr. Rose are 2 of the best Vets around. They are truly passionate about the care that each animal receives. My dog Maxx has had a lot of medical issues and they always educate me on the current treatment that is needed. They are always willing to answer any questions that I may have and treat me like family. The staff is great too! It is truly a great place to take your dog!

K-Town BBQ Delight
Wandered into this restaurant randomly with a bunch of friends one afternoon for lunch. Oddly enough, most of the Korean BBQ restaurants in k-town are lackluster so my expectation weren't overly high. Chung Ki-wa did however serve up some pretty tasty meals. You really can't go wrong ordering the Kal Bi or seafood pancake, both definitely hit the spot.
This place is also open twenty-four hours a day so if you're having a drunken craving for Korean BBQ late at night, these guys are worth a stop. Warning: Drunkenly wandering this area of town may not be advisable late at night, it's sketch ville.

What Happend?
What happend to you Tribecca Grill? You used to be cool with your tasty dishes and a happening vibe. Now when I visit, it's like you're just coasting, almost on the verge of needing life support.
My latest visit to Tribecca Grill was inspired in part by the mention of it on Gossip Girl (guilty pleasure). Now I haven't been in a while but a lot has changed in that time.
I went with a friend for dinner and both of our meals were on the mediocre side. The beef was overcooked even after asking for it to be done medium rare and just drowned in this butter like sauce, ugh.
Hopefully you'll regain some of your glory back Tribecca Grill because right now it's not looking too good.

Is it unclassy to call something classy?
Let’s get one thing right out in the open; you’re going to be spending 13 dollars per drink at Flatiron. The thing is though, Flatiron’s drinks are worth every single penny – their bartenders know the deal.
Now, I don’t consider myself a light weight (well maybe I am...) but the drinks at Flatiron are STRONG so think twice before ordering that fourth cocktail.
Flatiron definitely pulls off the sparse art deco aesthetic of the prohibition era. The lounge itself is rather small. They have a very limited number of booths and seats and coupled with its popularity, you’re going to want to make a reservation.
And what would this review be without some drink recommendations for the adventurous? The Maiden's Swizzle – campari, rum and velvet, Beijing Peach – a sweet vodka drink and the Hemingway Daiquiri – rum and lime juice.

Not your grandma's sushi bar
I've been to Nobu a lot for both lunch and dinner functions and rarely have been dissapointed by the food. Certain dishes do stand out such as the tuna tataki and yellowtail sashimi and I would highly recommend these if it's your first time at Nobu.
Perhaps I'm biased because this is the place that got me addicted to lychee martinis but I have yet to find a restaurant or bar that makes them better then Nobu.

So good, so close
Let’s start with the good stuff, the food. Café Boulud dishes are something are amazing. Their appetizers were simply delicious; I had the corn risotto and it was one of the best risottos I’ve ever tasted. The main course was nothing short of mind blowing, a hanger steak with ramps.
Now for the bad, the décor. I understand that this is a rather upscale restaurant but I mean the décor I found to be almost too stuffy and drab. Also for a restaurant specializing in French cuisine, I don’t understand how they could make rather bland bread rolls. Other than these minor complaints, Boulud is well worth the price.

Great Halifax Hotel
I stayed at the Delta Barrington last week for the first time. One of the great things about this place is how it's connected to many different areas of downtown Halifax via pedways. This means that you don't have to venture outside if the weather is cold.
The rooms at the Delta were quite nice. The price was even better...$99. You just can't beat that price for the level of quality.
In the morning I decided to order some room service. Not expecting much I placed an order for a continental breakfast. It showed up in 10 minutes and was on par with some of the better breakfast spots in Halifax.
If I ever need to spend another night in downtown Halifax, this is where I'm headed.

Not much focus
Family Focus is advertised as a "walk in clinic," but the first question they ask you is, "Do you have an appointment?" Good luck trying to make one, because I've never been able to get through to the receptionist! So don't be surprised if you get turned away at the door. If you're lucky, you'll get to sit around in the waitingroom for hours to see the only doctor on staff that day, who will spend a whole 5 minutes with you. Not the kind of focus I want when I feel sick and have no other place to turn.

It's nice but needs more spice
3.5 stars for Gingergrass. I'm not sure how authentic this food is, but it's served hot and fast! I chose the cashew chicken, but it wasn't nearly zesty enough. It was still fresh and delicious, and it wasn't nearly as goopy or drenched in sauce as the ones I've had at other restaurants. My guest chose the red chili, and we shared a bowl of the coconut rice, which was excellent; as was the fried banana dessert. Including drinks and tip, our bill came to $50, which was more than we expected, but overall it was worth it.
The staff were friendly and attentive, the water glasses were re-filled without us having to ask, the food was served promptly, and the music created a nice ambiance. Even though Gingergrass is at a fairly busy intersection, we felt quite cozy inside and enjoyed watching the passers-by. We certainly plan to go again to try other dishes on the menu, as well as their bubble tea.

Great Chinese Food in Dartmouth
A friend of mine turned me on to HK Wong's. The food is consistently delicious and always fresh. I usually will order a combination plate that includes rice, soo gai, and sweet and sour chicken balls. To add an extra item is very reasonably priced between $2.50 and $3.50. The soo gai and sweet and sour chicken always have more chicken than batter with is definitely a plus.
When dining in I have always found the staff to be very quick and courteous.

A friend and I visited Chinatown on the night before Valentine's Day. The owner's of HK Wong's (in Dartmouth) recently took this restaurant over and have not disappointed me with the quality of the food. The food is always fresh, the decor is inviting. They can accommodate small and large groups. We enjoyed ginger beef, plain fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and egg rolls (all individual dishes) for under $40. It is a great value and all around delicious. The only issue I had was that being the night before Valentine's Day and extremely busy they were not offering combination plates.

Smoking!
The seating was a little tight but it’s a ‘must try’ restaurant if you are in Chicago.
I guess it’s so popular because of the prices (cheap) and the sandwiches also includes a tasty cold slaw. The full rack of ribs is around $18 – and as I said it can be crowded. However, they do have a good process for getting people through – a cashier and a line of cooks preparing food orders.
Their Brisket and pulled pork are great however, the ribs are to–die-for and have a special rub on their meat, and also if you enjoy chili, the brisket chili is worth a try too.

Loosely Based on a Scottish Pub
I think the first 100 days of a new pub should be treated like the first 100 days of the United States President in office - let them settle into the position and avoid overly harsh criticism.
While The Loose Cannon is still in its infancy, I feel that two things stuck out immediately when I went.
Firstly, is this a Scottish pub? I wouldn't really have known besides the dead animal heads hanging on the wall and the haggis on the menu. Perhaps my expectations were too high - I guess expecting to see burly men in kilts playing bagpipes was out of the question.
Secondly, there's something wrong when a meal costs the same as a glass of beer. There are four to five different places *down the street* who charge 3-4 dollars less for Stella. Unless this place wants to fair like the last two occupants of the space, I'd suggest it lowers its prices.

About Their Jewelry Making Course
When you read many of the other positive reviews about this school, a common refrain you will see is "This school is not for everyone". This is often stated by employees and other representatives of the school alike. Apparently North Bennet Street School was not for ME!
After being in business for 125 years now, you would think they would have found a less brutal way of determining your unworthiness. After coaxing me along for a semester with soothing words of encouragement to continue with the course, at the end of the semester, when it was too late for me to get my $7,290 of tuition back, they slammed me with the news that I was not welcome to return the following semester. My crime? I was "struggling". This jewelry making and repair course is, as admitted by the School, an "intensive and rigorous" course. But I was told by the head instructor, that I should not return to complete the course because I "was struggling" to get my projects in on time.
This came as a surprise to me! Why? Because earlier in the semester I had gone to meet with the then executive director, and he had assured me that the School did not dismiss students for turning their projects in late, as long as that student was giving the course his/her best effort! Well I was in every morning before the classroom doors were opened, I received a grade of "Excellent" on my note taking abilities, written examinations, and attendance. However, I was denied the privilege other students had been able to take advantage of, of being able to stay often and late into the evenings to work on my projects so that those projects could be turned in on time. Not everyone needed this provision, but some did, and I was one who did. At the time I signed up for this course, I was told I would be able to avail myself of this provision. This turned out not to be the case.
At the end of the first semester and after spending around $10,000 of my retirement funds on this course, this nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization, determined my unworthiness to continue with the course. Appeals to the executive director were denied.
As of this date, and after appeals to many consumer organizations, this issue still remains outstanding. This nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization still stubbornly remains resolute in the rightness of its course!
BE WARNED!!! THIS SCHOOL IS SURELY NOT FOR EVERYONE!!!

School Says not for Everyone
 When you read many of the other positive reviews about this school, a common refrain you will see is "This school is not for everyone". This is often stated by employees and other representatives of the school alike. Apparently North Bennet Street School was not for ME!
After being in business for 125 years now, you would think they would have found a less brutal way of determining your unworthiness. After coaxing me along for a semester with soothing words of encouragement to continue with the course, at the end of the semester, when it was too late for me to get my $7,290 of tuition back, they slammed me with the news that I was not welcome to return the following semester. My crime? I was "struggling". This jewelry making and repair course is, as admitted by the School, an "intensive and rigorous" course. But I was told by Rosemary, the head instructor, that I should not return to complete the course because I "was struggling" to get my projects in on time.
This came as a surprise to me! Why? Because earlier in the semester I had gone to meet with Miguel Gomez-Ibanez, the then executive director, and he had assured me that the School did not dismiss students for turning their projects in late, as long as that student was giving the course his/her best effort! Well I was in every morning before the classroom doors were opened, I received a grade of "Excellent" on my note taking abilities, written examinations, and attendance. However, I was denied the privilege other students had been able to take advantage of, of being able to stay often and late into the evenings to work on my projects so that those projects could be turned in on time. Not everyone needed this provision, but some did, and I was one who did. At the time I signed up for this course, I was told I would be able to avail myself of this provision. This turned out not to be the case.
At the end of the first semester and after spending around $10,000 of my retirement funds on this course, this nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization, "founded" they say by Pauline Agassiz Shaw, determined my unworthiness to continue with the course. Appeals to the executive director were denied. Instead, the School offered to set up in impromptu "test" especially for me, so they could make an assessment as to whether I could stay in the program or not. The ones judging the results of that test were to be the very ones who had already determined that I should not return! And I was told that even if I did pass the test, it would be unlikely that the after-class workshop provision would be made available!
I declined the "test" and asked for my tuition back. That was when the School hurled false accusations of "verbal abuse of a fellow student" against me! (I have that accusation in writing.) If that had been true, that alone would have been reason enough for immediate dismissal from the School! If that were true, why did they wait until I asked for my tuition back before making such a shocking accusation?
As of this date, and after appeals to many consumer organizations, this issue still remains outstanding. This nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization still stubbornly remains resolute in the rightness of its course!

After coaxing me along for a semester with soothing words of encouragement to continue with the course, at the end of the semester, when it was too late for me to get my $7,290 of tuition back, they slammed me with the news that I was not welcome to return the following semester. My crime? I was "struggling". This jewelry making and repair course is, as admitted by the School, an "intensive and rigorous" course. But I was told by Rosemary, the head instructor, that I should not return to complete the course because I "was struggling" to get my projects in on time.
This came as a surprise to me! Why? Because earlier in the semester I had gone to meet with Miguel Gomez-Ibanez, the then executive director, and he had assured me that the School did not dismiss students for turning their projects in late, as long as that student was giving the course his/her best effort! Well I was in every morning before the classroom doors were opened, I received a grade of "Excellent" on my note taking abilities, written examinations, and attendance. However, I was denied the privilege other students had been able to take advantage of, of being able to stay often and late into the evenings to work on my projects so that those projects could be turned in on time. Not everyone needed this provision, but some did, and I was one who did. At the time I signed up for this course, I was told I would be able to avail myself of this provision. This turned out not to be the case.
At the end of the first semester and after spending around $10,000 of my retirement funds on this course, this nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization, "founded" they say by Pauline Agassiz Shaw, determined my unworthiness to continue with the course. Appeals to the executive director were denied. Instead, the School offered to set up in impromptu "test" especially for me, so they could make an assessment as to whether I could stay in the program or not. The ones judging the results of that test were to be the very ones who had already determined that I should not return! And I was told that even if I did pass the test, it would be unlikely that the after-class workshop provision would be made available!
I declined the "test" and asked for my tuition back. That was when the School hurled false accusations of "verbal abuse of a fellow student" against me! (I have that accusation in writing.) If that had been true, that alone would have been reason enough for immediate dismissal from the School! If that were true, why did they wait until I asked for my tuition back before making such a shocking accusation?
As of this date, and after appeals to many consumer organizations, this issue still remains outstanding. This nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization still stubbornly remains resolute in the rightness of its course!

When you read many of the other positive reviews about this school, a common refrain you will see is "This school is not for everyone". This is often stated by employees and other representatives of the school alike. Apparently North Bennet Street School was not for ME!
After being in business for 125 years now, you would think they would have found a less brutal way of determining your unworthiness. After coaxing me along for a semester with soothing words of encouragement to continue with the course, at the end of the semester, when it was too late for me to get my $7,290 of tuition back, they slammed me with the news that I was not welcome to return the following semester. My crime? I was "struggling". This jewelry making and repair course is, as admitted by the School, an "intensive and rigorous" course. But I was told by Rosemary, the head instructor, that I should not return to complete the course because I "was struggling" to get my projects in on time.
This came as a surprise to me! Why? Because earlier in the semester I had gone to meet with Miguel Gomez-Ibanez, the then executive director, and he had assured me that the School did not dismiss students for turning their projects in late, as long as that student was giving the course his/her best effort! Well I was in every morning before the classroom doors were opened, I received a grade of "Excellent" on my note taking abilities, written examinations, and attendance. However, I was denied the privilege other students had been able to take advantage of, of being able to stay often and late into the evenings to work on my projects so that those projects could be turned in on time. Not everyone needed this provision, but some did, and I was one who did. At the time I signed up for this course, I was told I would be able to avail myself of this provision. This turned out not to be the case.
At the end of the first semester and after spending around $10,000 of my retirement funds on this course, this nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization, "founded" they say by Pauline Agassiz Shaw, determined my unworthiness to continue with the course. Appeals to the executive director were denied. Instead, the School offered to set up in impromptu "test" especially for me, so they could make an assessment as to whether I could stay in the program or not. The ones judging the results of that test were to be the very ones who had already determined that I should not return! And I was told that even if I did pass the test, it would be unlikely that the after-class workshop provision would be made available!
I declined the "test" and asked for my tuition back. That was when the School hurled false accusations of "verbal abuse of a fellow student" against me! (I have that accusation in writing.) If that had been true, that alone would have been reason enough for immediate dismissal from the School! If that were true, why did they wait until I asked for my tuition back before making such a shocking accusation?
As of this date, and after appeals to many consumer organizations, this issue still remains outstanding. This nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization still stubbornly remains resolute in the rightness of its course!

School Says not for Everyone
When you read many of the other positive reviews about this school, a common refrain you will see is "This school is not for everyone". This is often stated by employees and other representatives of the school alike. Apparently North Bennet Street School was not for ME!
After being in business for 125 years now, you would think they would have found a less brutal way of determining your unworthiness. After coaxing me along for a semester with soothing words of encouragement to continue with the course, at the end of the semester, when it was too late for me to get my $7,290 of tuition back, they slammed me with the news that I was not welcome to return the following semester. My crime? I was "struggling". This jewelry making and repair course is, as admitted by the School, an "intensive and rigorous" course. But I was told by Rosemary, the head instructor, that I should not return to complete the course because I "was struggling" to get my projects in on time.
This came as a surprise to me! Why? Because earlier in the semester I had gone to meet with Miguel Gomez-Ibanez, the then executive director, and he had assured me that the School did not dismiss students for turning their projects in late, as long as that student was giving the course his/her best effort! Well I was in every morning before the classroom doors were opened, I received a grade of "Excellent" on my note taking abilities, written examinations, and attendance. However, I was denied the privilege other students had been able to take advantage of, of being able to stay often and late into the evenings to work on my projects so that those projects could be turned in on time. Not everyone needed this provision, but some did, and I was one who did. At the time I signed up for this course, I was told I would be able to avail myself of this provision. This turned out not to be the case.
At the end of the first semester and after spending around $10,000 of my retirement funds on this course, this nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization, "founded" they say by Pauline Agassiz Shaw, determined my unworthiness to continue with the course. Appeals to the executive director were denied. Instead, the School offered to set up in impromptu "test" especially for me, so they could make an assessment as to whether I could stay in the program or not. The ones judging the results of that test were to be the very ones who had already determined that I should not return! And I was told that even if I did pass the test, it would be unlikely that the after-class workshop provision would be made available!
I declined the "test" and asked for my tuition back. That was when the School hurled false accusations of "verbal abuse of a fellow student" against me! (I have that accusation in writing.) If that had been true, that alone would have been reason enough for immediate dismissal from the School! If that were true, why did they wait until I asked for my tuition back before making such a shocking accusation?
As of this date, and after appeals to many consumer organizations, this issue still remains outstanding. This nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization still stubbornly remains resolute in the rightness of its course!

School Says not for Everyone
When you read many of the other positive reviews about this school, a common refrain you will see is "This school is not for everyone". This is often stated by employees and other representatives of the school alike. Apparently North Bennet Street School was not for ME!
After being in business for 125 years now, you would think they would have found a less brutal way of determining your unworthiness. After coaxing me along for a semester with soothing words of encouragement to continue with the course, at the end of the semester, when it was too late for me to get my $7,290 of tuition back, they slammed me with the news that I was not welcome to return the following semester. My crime? I was "struggling". This jewelry making and repair course is, as admitted by the School, an "intensive and rigorous" course. But I was told by Rosemary, the head instructor, that I should not return to complete the course because I "was struggling" to get my projects in on time.
This came as a surprise to me! Why? Because earlier in the semester I had gone to meet with Miguel Gomez-Ibanez, the then executive director, and he had assured me that the School did not dismiss students for turning their projects in late, as long as that student was giving the course his/her best effort! Well I was in every morning before the classroom doors were opened, I received a grade of "Excellent" on my note taking abilities, written examinations, and attendance. However, I was denied the privilege other students had been able to take advantage of, of being able to stay often and late into the evenings to work on my projects so that those projects could be turned in on time. Not everyone needed this provision, but some did, and I was one who did. At the time I signed up for this course, I was told I would be able to avail myself of this provision. This turned out not to be the case.
At the end of the first semester and after spending around $10,000 of my retirement funds on this course, this nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization, "founded" they say by Pauline Agassiz Shaw, determined my unworthiness to continue with the course. Appeals to the executive director were denied. Instead, the School offered to set up in impromptu "test" especially for me, so they could make an assessment as to whether I could stay in the program or not. The ones judging the results of that test were to be the very ones who had already determined that I should not return! And I was told that even if I did pass the test, it would be unlikely that the after-class workshop provision would be made available!
I declined the "test" and asked for my tuition back. That was when the School hurled false accusations of "verbal abuse of a fellow student" against me! (I have that accusation in writing.) If that had been true, that alone would have been reason enough for immediate dismissal from the School! If that were true, why did they wait until I asked for my tuition back before making such a shocking accusation?
As of this date, and after appeals to many consumer organizations, this issue still remains outstanding. This nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization still stubbornly remains resolute in the rightness of its course!

School Says not for Everyone
When you read many of the other positive reviews about this school, a common refrain you will see is "This school is not for everyone". This is often stated by employees and other representatives of the school alike. Apparently North Bennet Street School was not for ME!
After being in business for 125 years now, you would think they would have found a less brutal way of determining your unworthiness. After coaxing me along for a semester with soothing words of encouragement to continue with the course, at the end of the semester, when it was too late for me to get my $7,290 of tuition back, they slammed me with the news that I was not welcome to return the following semester. My crime? I was "struggling". This jewelry making and repair course is, as admitted by the School, an "intensive and rigorous" course. But I was told by Rosemary, the head instructor, that I should not return to complete the course because I "was struggling" to get my projects in on time.
This came as a surprise to me! Why? Because earlier in the semester I had gone to meet with Miguel Gomez-Ibanez, the then executive director, and he had assured me that the School did not dismiss students for turning their projects in late, as long as that student was giving the course his/her best effort! Well I was in every morning before the classroom doors were opened, I received a grade of "Excellent" on my note taking abilities, written examinations, and attendance. However, I was denied the privilege other students had been able to take advantage of, of being able to stay often and late into the evenings to work on my projects so that those projects could be turned in on time. Not everyone needed this provision, but some did, and I was one who did. At the time I signed up for this course, I was told I would be able to avail myself of this provision. This turned out not to be the case.
At the end of the first semester and after spending around $10,000 of my retirement funds on this course, this nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization, "founded" they say by Pauline Agassiz Shaw, determined my unworthiness to continue with the course. Appeals to the executive director were denied. Instead, the School offered to set up in impromptu "test" especially for me, so they could make an assessment as to whether I could stay in the program or not. The ones judging the results of that test were to be the very ones who had already determined that I should not return! And I was told that even if I did pass the test, it would be unlikely that the after-class workshop provision would be made available!
I declined the "test" and asked for my tuition back. That was when the School hurled false accusations of "verbal abuse of a fellow student" against me! (I have that accusation in writing.) If that had been true, that alone would have been reason enough for immediate dismissal from the School! If that were true, why did they wait until I asked for my tuition back before making such a shocking accusation?
As of this date, and after appeals to many consumer organizations, this issue still remains outstanding. This nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization still stubbornly remains resolute in the rightness of its course!

School Says not for Everyone
When you read many of the other positive reviews about this school, a common refrain you will see is "This school is not for everyone". This is often stated by employees and other representatives of the school alike. Apparently North Bennet Street School was not for ME!
After being in business for 125 years now, you would think they would have found a less brutal way of determining your unworthiness. After coaxing me along for a semester with soothing words of encouragement to continue with the course, at the end of the semester, when it was too late for me to get my $7,290 of tuition back, they slammed me with the news that I was not welcome to return the following semester. My crime? I was "struggling". This jewelry making and repair course is, as admitted by the School, an "intensive and rigorous" course. But I was told by Rosemary, the head instructor, that I should not return to complete the course because I "was struggling" to get my projects in on time.
This came as a surprise to me! Why? Because earlier in the semester I had gone to meet with Miguel Gomez-Ibanez, the then executive director, and he had assured me that the School did not dismiss students for turning their projects in late, as long as that student was giving the course his/her best effort! Well I was in every morning before the classroom doors were opened, I received a grade of "Excellent" on my note taking abilities, written examinations, and attendance. However, I was denied the privilege other students had been able to take advantage of, of being able to stay often and late into the evenings to work on my projects so that those projects could be turned in on time. Not everyone needed this provision, but some did, and I was one who did. At the time I signed up for this course, I was told I would be able to avail myself of this provision. This turned out not to be the case.
At the end of the first semester and after spending around $10,000 of my retirement funds on this course, this nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization, "founded" they say by Pauline Agassiz Shaw, determined my unworthiness to continue with the course. Appeals to the executive director were denied. Instead, the School offered to set up in impromptu "test" especially for me, so they could make an assessment as to whether I could stay in the program or not. The ones judging the results of that test were to be the very ones who had already determined that I should not return! And I was told that even if I did pass the test, it would be unlikely that the after-class workshop provision would be made available!
I declined the "test" and asked for my tuition back. That was when the School hurled false accusations of "verbal abuse of a fellow student" against me! (I have that accusation in writing.) If that had been true, that alone would have been reason enough for immediate dismissal from the School! If that were true, why did they wait until I asked for my tuition back before making such a shocking accusation?
As of this date, and after appeals to many consumer organizations, this issue still remains outstanding. This nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization still stubbornly remains resolute in the rightness of its course!

School Says not for Everyone
When you read many of the other positive reviews about this school, a common refrain you will see is "This school is not for everyone". This is often stated by employees and other representatives of the school alike. Apparently North Bennet Street School was not for ME!
After being in business for 125 years now, you would think they would have found a less brutal way of determining your unworthiness. After coaxing me along for a semester with soothing words of encouragement to continue with the course, at the end of the semester, when it was too late for me to get my $7,290 of tuition back, they slammed me with the news that I was not welcome to return the following semester. My crime? I was "struggling". This jewelry making and repair course is, as admitted by the School, an "intensive and rigorous" course. But I was told by Rosemary, the head instructor, that I should not return to complete the course because I "was struggling" to get my projects in on time.
This came as a surprise to me! Why? Because earlier in the semester I had gone to meet with Miguel Gomez-Ibanez, the then executive director, and he had assured me that the School did not dismiss students for turning their projects in late, as long as that student was giving the course his/her best effort! Well I was in every morning before the classroom doors were opened, I received a grade of "Excellent" on my note taking abilities, written examinations, and attendance. However, I was denied the privilege other students had been able to take advantage of, of being able to stay often and late into the evenings to work on my projects so that those projects could be turned in on time. Not everyone needed this provision, but some did, and I was one who did. At the time I signed up for this course, I was told I would be able to avail myself of this provision. This turned out not to be the case.
At the end of the first semester and after spending around $10,000 of my retirement funds on this course, this nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization, "founded" they say by Pauline Agassiz Shaw, determined my unworthiness to continue with the course. Appeals to the executive director were denied. Instead, the School offered to set up in impromptu "test" especially for me, so they could make an assessment as to whether I could stay in the program or not. The ones judging the results of that test were to be the very ones who had already determined that I should not return! And I was told that even if I did pass the test, it would be unlikely that the after-class workshop provision would be made available!
I declined the "test" and asked for my tuition back. That was when the School hurled false accusations of "verbal abuse of a fellow student" against me! (I have that accusation in writing.) If that had been true, that alone would have been reason enough for immediate dismissal from the School! If that were true, why did they wait until I asked for my tuition back before making such a shocking accusation?
As of this date, and after appeals to many consumer organizations, this issue still remains outstanding. This nonprofit "philanthropic", "charitable" organization still stubbornly remains resolute in the rightness of its course!

Worst locksmith company ever!
The tech that came out was ok but they didnt do all of there job and the key I got was useless. He also broke a key in the lock of my trunk. I called there supervisor and she had an attitude and is not good at all in customer service. Her name started with a J and I also spoke to a women named Esmarelda. They shouldnt be allowed to work in customer service. They couldnt not help me at all and didnt care what happened and said the same thing over and over. I suggest nobody go to them just go somewhere else where they will actually help you.

Don't go! N'y allez pas!
Ne vous aventurez pas dans cet endroit très bourgeois au coeur d'Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Premièrement les prix y sont élevés (mes lunettes m'ont coûté au-delà de 400 $) et la qualité laisse à désirer. À ce prix, j'ai eu des verres anti-reflets qui n'ont duré que 2 ans avant d'être tout égratignés, donc j'ai du débourser un autre 300 $ pour remplacer les verres. Et comble de malheur, un mois plus tard, mes lunettes se sont brisées au niveau du nez alors que j'étais en train de les nettoyer ! Alors en 2 ans, 700 $ partis en fumée, aucune réparation et aucune considération de la part de leur personnel si froid qu'il frôle le méprisant. Bon c'est dit. Je vous aurai averti.

Plain name but fabulous fare
 Although Stone Street is technically part of the Delta Barrington hotel, anyone is welcome to dine there. The atmostphere is warm and inviting, and the menu features many local/provincial specialties. Their lunches are good and reasonably priced ($10-$20), but the dinners are outstanding (and also more expensive). The pistachio Digby scallops are divine! Be sure to check their hours ahead of time though, because the restaurant is closed between meals. 4.5 stars!

Doesn't live up to the hype
 Helly Hansen came highly recommended to me for thermal clothing, so I went on the hunt for hoodies, vests and boot socks. I have to say that I was very disappointed. I expected that they would have a lot more merchandise, and that it would be clothing that I couldn't find elsewhere. Considering the distance I travelled to get there, I walked out with nothing and got better service and products at Mountain Equipment downtown. HH might be the place for survival and flotation gear, but not for practical bodywear anymore.

Wet Document
 It's hard to imagine that a company can take something ruined by water and restore it back to normal, but that's just what this company can do. There was a flood in the house and a lot of favorite photos and papers were ruined. I found out that this company does water damage restoration, and I thought I'd just call and see if they could do something about the papers. I was ecstatic to find that, through a process they call document drying, they could restore my wet papers and save me a lot of heartache!

Skilled at diagnosing learning disabilities
When I was searching for a private-practice school psychologist to assess my children for learning disabilities, my pediatrician and other health care professionals praised Dr. Sisbarro as a superb diagnostician. They were right. He is thorough, careful, and detailed. He gave us specific diagnoses, told us what interventions our children needed, and provided us a list of individuals in the area who were skilled at providing those interventions. (He's not affiliated with any of them.) He used plain language to explain testing scores and his conclusions to us. We found him to be compassionate and utterly dedicated to helping children. If appropriate, he will observe your child in the classroom, meet with teachers, and attend IEP meetings. As a bonus, the decor of his Baymeadows/9A office is whimsical, warm, and child-friendly. Our children like him very much.

Seemed nice on phone-Don't be fooled!!!
Company changed quoted price for move on day of move. Movers broke an antique piece of furniture while loading the truck and claimed it wasn't their fault. They dumped all pieces in parking lot and refused to move anything and left! Police report filed on scene. Do not use this company. Not members of Better Business Bureau. Appalling business practices.
