Food & Drink > Dining & Restaurants (Other) Choosing a menu for your restaurant
4 of 13

In my restaurant, the menu is never preprinted. It never will be in fact. The key to a successful restaurant is to earn a customer's loyalty again and again, to keep costs at a minimum and of course, maximize the profit. Most importantly though is to keep them always wanting more. Clich maybe but it is a statement that can me... More..

Education > Teachers & Administrators Teacher bias: Corrupting education?
3 of 9

Teacher bias appears to cross many boundaries. It seems to exist in high schools, colleges and graduate universities. Many times it falls into a deafening silence because of the intimidation that a student can feel from questioning the authority of someone in that position. It becomes tolerated and silenced by fear. In my mid... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Mealtime with the family
9 of 18

Back when I was a bit younger, eating together was always a moment where our family could sit down together with a good home-cooked meal on the table and discuss the day's events. Today it seems that the mealtime is consumed by gathering around the television or grabbing something quick to eat and sitting at a computer. For ... More..

Local Guides > Phoenix Famous people who come from Phoenix

If you ask a rancher, they may say only a Quarter Horse can work cattle. Stop in ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 US elections 2008: Why Republicans may feel sorry for Hillary Clinton
11 of 21

I have not felt any feelings of sorrow for Hillary now or ever before. It seems to me that she has chosen each path and consequence that has come her way. When her husband chose to commit adultery during their marriage over and over, she turned the other way. Instead of refusing to be treated with disrespect, she chose to tol... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Death of a grandparent
19 of 36

Remember when we were all a little younger and our grandparents would say "Don't grow up too soon, you'll miss all this when you're older."? My grandparents didn't tell me that the "this" I would miss is them.I had the luxury of being blessed with grandparents that were literally pioneers of their time, inspired by their own ... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Military marriage
6 of 7

I know first that I am married to a man that happens to be a soldier. He still puts his boots on one at a time every day. He still has good days and bad and he still walks one foot in front of the other. He always will be my hero but I still give him the respect he has earned as my husband, my partner and my best friend. I am... More..
