Third Ave Food Mart

Pathetic still and probably always…read more It's a terrible program if you need to have any kind of portability in a photo database. There is no easy way to move a database or part of the database from one computer to another. The customer service is unbelievably insulting and bad. Sometimes they do reply, but better they don't. They do not deserve your patronage. The following email passes for product support. The entire thread isn't available, but 5 days prior my friend had followed directions to try a third party fix. The reply email is wrong, that the fix had been tried and that it did not work had been communicated to Cerious. Their initial response? All questions had been answered and they were closing the ticket; somehow the problem had to have been caused by a party other than Cerious. That pathetic response was addressed below in the original message. That was the extent of insult to the person providing support, Laura Shook. That it was pathetic. Their reply bemoaned some fantasy of non cooperation: -----Reply Message----- This is Phillip, developer of ThumbsPlus. First Adam and then Laura provided correct and polite answers every time in this case, and you replied each time by denying what was clearly said and being obnoxious and rude. I have no idea why you refused to do what you were told would correct the problem that Laura correctly identified as being with MICROSOFT'S Windows Installer database or MSI cache on your system. Laura was also perfectly correct about having nothing to do with version 8. Version 9 uses a completely different Windows Installer product code, and installs and runs completely independently from version 8. In the screen shot which YOU provided, and which I have attached again here, it's crystal clear that there is a problem locating the .MSI file from version 9 (NINE) SP1. I even enlarged and colorized the relevant information from the error message for you. So please follow the initial instructions, quoted below for your convenience. After you remove ThumbsPlus 9 using this tool, you should be able to install the latest build. If it doesn't work, let us know and we will investigate further. --- An easier way has been reported to me from other users. I now have a link to a newer M$ uninstall/install fix executable. I have not announced this yet on the pages yet but if we continue to get great results we will put a link on our pages to it. This file was created to fix this issue caused by an error in the Windows installer folder on your system. support.microsoft.com/ma... After this, the new installer should operate correctly. --- If you continue to refuse and continue to be a condescending jackass, it will not be possible for anyone here to help you with this problem further. Phillip Crews - Cerious Software, Inc.-- Cerious Support - bugsystem@cerious.com -----Original Message----- Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2015 17:24:34 -0400 To: bugsystem@cerious.com Subject: Re: (Case 1319331) Current version will not install No, you haven't answered all of my questions. If it's development that I need to speak with, then I should be directed to them, him/her. What a pathetic response. And the implication that your one instruction was not followed only shows that you don't care what I've written. This is consistent with my first encounter with you, pathetic still and probably always.

Lobster's Den

3.0(1 review)

This quaint little tavern of a spot is a true hidden gem of SF, or at least of Pacific Heights…read more Okay, maybe Lower Pac Heights. Okay maybe it's not actually a gem at all, but rather a pebble that happens to be somewhat shiny. It's a tiny little family-run joint no larger than a 3-bedroom apartment. They don't even have a website! It's barely visible from the street but once you squeeze between a minimart and a salon of some sort and climb up the hidden stairs in this mini-alley, you'll find yourself on your way to the adventure of a lifetime. Once up the dingy and disgusting stairs, the impeccably spotless front lobby of the establishment leaves you feeling immaculate from within. All that changes however as you enter the actual Den. This private VIP room has a decor of its own that is a bit disjointed from the rest of the place. The immaculateness seems to end at the door of the den, but the sloppy interior adds a homely feel which I ain't complaining about. Among the oddities of this joint is a random hatch in the wall that opens up to the great outdoors. It is a tiny hatch, barely wide enough to stick an arm though. I am told that it is the remains of an ancient garbage chute that once was. Many people however use it as a convenient means of checking the weather, or so I hear. Musical instruments, such as guitars, abound the area and seem to have been left behind by past inhabitants. If you go to the back, you can open up a strange closet, only to find a random light deep within its bowels that can be turned on from the outside. There are beds to lie down on. With no official "hours", the Lobster's Den is always open as a chill hangout and party spot, unless the owner is away. There's often drinking that occurs, but mostly I have seen people either studying there or sleeping, oddly enough. I used to always see this one cute little Indian number in there. Actually she's the only reason I would go there, to tell you the truth. This hottie was always there, so you single guys out there should definitely check this place (her) out, especially if a little spicy Indian flavor's your thing. Now if that doesn't scream Local Flavor, I don't know what does. The other day, Samir and I were hanging out there at 3am, just kicking it with her. And that was when we found out that she's the owner! She gave us the grand tour. Grand old time indeed. The only reason I give it 3 stars is the emptiness of this place. This owner chiquita's practically the only person that's ever there. I mean I don't really mind that all that much, but still! A little new blood wouldn't hurt. Although once I did see a tall manager in there. No one really knows about this place, and it's no wonder. They don't even have a website! I mean come on! In this day and age! No wonder I'm the first person to Yelp it. The sexy mama was telling us, however, that they may shift their location in another couple months. So maybe they're holding out for that. Hopefully the new one will be better publicized. And hopefully there will be more chicks there.

The best corner store in SF. I am truly great full for establishments such as Third Avenue Food Mart that make my neighborhood so fantastic. The owner Tony is hands down my favorite corner store owner that I have ever met, so much so that I rather refer to him as a friend of the community, as there is no doubt that the community is his friend. Tony is always helping out when he can, it is obvious that he cherishes the community and his customers just as much as we cherish his service. Tony runs a great business, supplied with everything a corner store should have and much more. There is a great selection of beers, liquor, wine and soft drinks as well as groceries. My favorite excuse to visit Tony are his delicious sandwiches that he is always enthusiastic to make for you. I am a guy who looooves his sandwiches. I trust Tony in making my sandwich so much that I often just ask him to make me whatever he wants, because I know it will always turn out great. Tony has a lovely wife and kid that smile just as much as he does. The other day he had some delicious chicken that his wife had made at home, I'm not sure what the chicken dish was, but he through it in my sandwich and it was awesome! With the cheap price and excellent taste, I would consider one a fool to go anywhere else for their sandwich fix. Grab a sandwich and some beers to wash it down and I assure you, you won't be disappointed. I was very happy to see the positive revues on Tony's place, as he is hardworking, and although he wouldn't say so himself, quite frankly, he deserves our loyal business. I was, however, very disappointed to see reviews with 1 star and negative comments. But then I read the reviews, noticed that they were flawed and was quickly eased by the revelation that these people clearly had never enjoyed a true neighborhood corner store. If you like good sandwiches, friendly service, being a part of a community, or experiencing what a true community feels like, then Tony's is your spot. read more

Wow! I got these "compliments" from the owner Tony. You have to be kidding me! I have censored them but he did not censor himself. For your review of: Third Avenue Food Mart Going through your pictures you should show how you are mother fu**er ****** For your review of: Third Avenue Food Mart I can't wait to see what you look like bi**h ******* For your review of: Third Avenue Food Mart You are a f**king lier bi**h I hope to see you so I can tell you. What a evil bi**h you are f**k you mother fu**er This is a great way to prove you are not rude and have a good selection of groceries! Really makes me want to come back & patronize you. No, actually it makes me fear you'd hurt me, you sound extremely violent and angry. I'm evil? Then again this is not too surprising, seeing as how you have always made me feel very uncomfortable and is why I do not go to your store even though it's the closest to my house. I don't even want to walk by it anymore after your response! I really hope everyone sees this, your "compliments" Tony A are on my page too so everyone can see they are real, unless Yelp chooses to remove them since I have alerted them to your very disturbing comments towards me! read more

I have been living in San Francisco for three years now and I have to say, this place is the best corner store in the city. Not only do they have a diverse selection of groceries, liquor, beers, household supplies etc., but the customer service Tony provides is at the highest standards. There sandwiches are super tasty and priced reasonably. In addition, the store is very clean. If you are in the area, definitely stop by at 3rd avenue and California! read more
