It's not sweat pants.
What, you mean you don't step off a trans Atlantic flight with your two small children wearing stiletto heels and a perfectly placed fascinator?
Well, Kate Middleton does, but that's not what surprised us a little about her Jenny Packham ensemble. It's actually the colour...unless you, unlike 99% of us, thought she would step out in a blue outfit instead of the expected red.
That DoC...always keeping us on our toes.
Look at you, Prince William, saving lives even when you're not at the controls of a Coast Guard rescue helicopter!
The prince leapt into action earlier today to help a hapless gentleman who accidentally tripped backwards over a pylon while waiting for the royal couple to arrive at an engagement today.
No sooner had the uniformed chap hit the ground than he was back on his feet, pulled back to dignity (and into the 'most embarrassing moment record books) by some helping royal hands.
Kate was there too, rushing over with some benign chit chat to make it all feel a bit less awkward in that 'no, I'm fine, really I'm fine' moment.

In our excitement for the amazing outfits that are bound to accompany the British Royal's upcoming Canadian visit, we've rounded up all the times Kate Middleton and Sophie Trudeau have worn the exact same styles.
Clean and Classic
Both Kate and Sophie have been known to keep their wardrobes stocked with neutrals. An all white ensemble gives off a classy, regal elegance.

Red Royalty
When they do add a pop of colour, red is a favourite. Sophie Trudeau and Kate Middleton have both donned short and long dress in the eye-catching colour.

Ladies in Lace
Lace is frequently seen on both women because of the feminine detailing that it adds to their outfits, without being over the top.

Gorgeous Greys
Who says neutrals have to be boring? In these gorgeous winter coats, Sophie and Kate prove that grey can be far from bland.

Fancy Florals
Florals are a great way for the royal ladies to have some fun with colour. Kate and Sophie have both been known to sport dark floral dresses.

The Cambridges have landed! And for four people who've just done the equivalent of a red eye (albeit on a private plane; with mounties waiting to greet them) they don't look half bad. Charlotte does look a bit like she just remembered she left something on the plane.
Welcome to Canada guys!

Trelleborg's offshore operation has formalised its drill riser buoyancy modules (DRBM) repair offering in Africa, following its collaboration with flotation repair provider, ProFloat. Trelleborg is the only DRBM supplier offering a repair centre in Africa approved by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
This new service will deliver significant time and cost savings to Trelleborg's customers, who will now be able to have their buoyancy repaired at ProFloat's facility in Cape Town, or at an agreed location in Africa, instead of shipping it to Trelleborg in Houston. ProFloat underwent a stringent onsite audit to ensure that its processes and workmanship met Trelleborg's high standards. Following the assessment ProFloat was named as an authorised DRBM repair centre for Trelleborg.
Shaun Louw, Managing Director at ProFloat, says: "We are thrilled to be appointed as Trelleborg's exclusive repair agent in Africa. Damage to DRBMs can happen at any time and have an adverse impact on meeting project deadlines, so it is critical that the module is assessed, repaired and returned to site as quickly as possible. By working in collaboration with Trelleborg, we can repair the buoyancy to the highest performance possible using OEM approved processes, materials and standards."
Mark Angus, Executive Vice President for Trelleborg's offshore operation, says: "When we supply customers with our products, the service doesn't stop there. We believe that after sales care and value added services, such as local buoyancy repair to OEM standards, are imperative. As such, we are delighted to be able to offer this service to our customers operating off the African coast, through our partnership with ProFloat. This is the first step to providing a global repair offering, so that we can support our customers whenever and wherever they need us."
DRBMs are installed to reduce a drilling riser's net weight in water, and ensure that the structure and drilling vessel are supported. Trelleborg offers a range of DRBMs and ancillary products to fit all styles and types of drill riser.

Will Lakers try to pull out of revenue sharing now?
Check out the audio of my spot Friday morning on "The Dan Patrick Show" this morning, trying to make some sense of this crazy Chris Paul saga with Patrick, who for his part said the Lakers gave up real talent and are being penalized.
As I noted in my column detailing the Lakers' confusion deep into Thursday night over just being told no by the NBA on the trade with the league-owned Hornets, the Lakers are considering their legal options. I'm told the Lakers were even pondering what they might be able to do to fight the just-completed revenue-sharing package that will cost them $50 million per season in the future, although suing their own league would be a ridiculously bold move that has to be considering unlikely.
There is no indication at this point that NBA commissioner David Stern will reverse his decision that the trade isn't good enough for "basketball reasons" for the Hornets. Paul might also try to use the players' union to explore his rights.

Creatures of Light
Plan your visit: Hours, directions, parking, what's on, and more.
The Exhibition
Creatures of Light explores extraordinary organisms that produce light—from fireflies to deep-sea fishes and even mushrooms.
© FMNH\L. Smith and AMNH\J. Sparks
Visually dramatic, informative and immersive, the exhibition explores the diversity of organisms that glow, and how they do it. For some, that means "hosting" others that do the glowing for them!
See live flashlight fish! Their light comes from bacteria that live in organs under each eye. The bacteria produce their bioluminescent glow through a chemical reaction. Because these fish—known as Splitfin Flashlightfish—live in tropical coral-reef habitats, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Ever wondered what purpose the light serves? You'll find out how it is used to attract mates, lure unsuspecting prey and defend against predators.
The many immersive sections let you wander through environments that range from the familiar to the extreme, such as
- a night-time meadow filled with flashing fireflies
- a woodland floor with bioluminescent mushrooms
- a cave system where glow worms drop sticky threads from their bioluminescent tail to ensnare prey
- a sparkling sea where microscopic dinoflagellates, planktonic organisms, create a glowing halo around anything that moves through the water
- the deep ocean where mysterious creatures lurk, such as anglerfishes with their gaping jaws, and vampire squids.
The exhibition also explains how, where and why scientists study the amazing bioluminescence phenomenon.
Note: No photography is permitted in this exhibition.
Sneak-Peek Videos
In the exhibition, videos will introduce you to scientists whose work contributes to the exploration of bioluminescence.
Watch the videos below to meet Canadian Museum of Nature scientists Bob Anderson, Kathy Conlan, André Martel and Michel Poulin.
Four videos: Total time 9 min. 50 sec.
Photos of the Exhibition
Click on these photos of the exhibition to see a larger, complete version.
A slow shutter speed produced this stunning image of firefly signals in Japan.
When this jellyfish is poked or jostled, spots on its rim light up like an emerald necklace. Its beautiful glow is both bioluminescent and fluorescent. Inside its light organs, a chemical reaction makes blue bioluminescent light, and a fluorescent molecule turns the blue light to green.
This section of the exhibition evokes an evening lit by fireflies, all signalling to one another in their species-specific "language of light.
This model of a female anglerfish shows the "lure" filled with bioluminescent bacteria that dangles above her mouth. Luminous tendrils that look like seaweed trail from her chin. If another fish swims up to investigate, it becomes dinner.
This oversized model represents a jack-o-lantern mushroom around 40 times the mushroom's actual size.
Scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet light.
This interactive image shows day and night views of a coral wall in the Cayman Islands that is home to many bioluminescent and biofluorescent animals.
This model of a firefly is 65 times actual size. The species, sometimes called a blue ghost, makes light but doesn't flash. Instead, its glow slowly strengthens and fades.

The support for prices comes from the demand for the property/location. In this market the bargains are going to come in locations that are not as desireable. Ocean side property in an area that is not subject to hurricanes and humidity, and are located near areas that have larger job opportunities are going to have less downward pressure on prices. The Los Angeles coastal areas will maintain their value due to the number of people that have interest there. Generally when people are looking for Ocean Views and coastal weather they are in a position to pay the premium prices that are asked. As said many times in response to your question it has to do with the location.
A winning strategy is to determine what it is you are looking for in a location. If you want to be beside the ocean and are not tied to a specific area, then you can look for alternative ocean side areas. If you are tied to a general location due to work or family then using an experienced Real Estate Agent can help you find a distressed property, lease option opportunities or a property in a location that is going to have better value in the future as the economy begins it's recovery.
If you are not tied to the greater Los Angeles area, you may find that ocean view properties can be purchased in California north of Santa Barbara or significantly less than in the metropolitan areas.
1. Location
2. Location
3. Location
The more important question is this: Why would you be watching a home for a long time hoping it's price would drop along with the rest of the market? The more important issue that's been overlooked here is that you are hoping to buy a piece of real estate that ebbs and flows with the market. Is this the way you buy stocks too? Bad strategy.
You've identified what must be a great area that holds values regardless of the fact we are staring right into the largest real estate crash ever witnessed in our history. Buy it!

Outlast® Fog Management Face Fleece has been added to the Magna-Tech™ collection, providing a new level of anti-fog. Outlast Face Fleece is able to absorb, store and release heat proactively controlling the production of moisture before it begins allowing you to maintain a cooler climate inside your goggle no matter how hard you send it.
No-Slip Silicone Strap

Starting with a porous cellulose inner lens surface for superior water shedding above and beyond standard acetate lenses, we apply our chemically etched ICT anti-fog treatment for long-lasting clarity.

Screening techniques and sources of resistance to rusts and mildews in grain legumes

In this paper we review the existence of sources of resistance and the various available screening methods for resistance in grain legumes against the airborne pathogens powdery mildews, downy mildews and rusts. Available resistance against these pathogens is not abundant and is particularly in risk of erosion owing to the constant generation and introduction of new races of the pathogen. A continuous search for more resistance sources is therefore a priority in legume breeding and special emphasis should be paid to selection of resistance mechanisms that are likely to be durable and to implementation of strategies to prolong the durability of existing resistance.

All of Northeast on high flood alert
WASHINGTON Sandy, the massive, multistate storm that flooded tunnels in New York City, brought snow to the mountains of West Virginia, snarled early voting for the upcoming election and caused more than 8 million power outages, moved into Pennsylvania and western New York on Tuesday and put the entire Northeast on heightened flooding alert.
FEMA had pre-deployed generators to support states that need help getting key facilities, such as hospitals, back up and running.
Emergency response teams and task forces converged on the East Coast from throughout the country, including several people from the Orange County Fire Authority who are part of an elite urban search and rescue team from California.
More than 1,500 FEMA workers are positioned along the East Coast to support response operations, including communications and logistical support. They include seven federal urban search and rescue task forces and 14 incident management assistance teams, which identify and coordinate the federal help needed.
FEMA is coordinating with several government agencies and other organizations to handle Sandy's aftermath, including the American Red Cross, the Defense Department's U.S. Northern Command, the National Guard, the Coast Guard and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Around Xmas I took out a Macy's credit card - BIG MISTAKE. I had some coupons from a friend but could only use them with the store credit card. I immediately paid off my balance in the store after my purchases. I was told that I would get a 15% discount on my first bill.
The exact opposite happened and Macy's by their assignee Department Stores National Bank has done the following: First they sent the card to the wrong address, so I immediately cancelled without ever receiving the card.
After returning the items to the store (the gifts did not fit) I was told I could only get the cash I paid put back on the credit card and after two weeks on a cancelled card they would automatically return it. NOT TRUE this is April and I after numerous request for my cash I still don't have it.
The worse part is they DEDUCTED 15% from the CASH I actually paid on the card, claiming they were taking back a 'new account savings' which they NEVER gave in the first place. I have written numerous letters, and spent lengthy hours on the phone to their outsourced customer service in India where they just don't give a damn.
I have shown the reps that no way should a store deduct from actual cash paid on the bogus claim that they were taking back a discount. I am entitled to the full amount of cash I paid once the items were returned. Moreover I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED THE 15% DISCOUNT IN THE FIRST PLACE. They claim it was given in the store. This 'promotion' is still ongoing where they rope you in by claiming to give a 15% discount on your first bill for all purchases done within the first 2 days of getting the card. NOT TRUE - a total ripoff.
Each month I receive a statement saying if I want my cash back (minus the fraudulently deducted 15%) I should submit the bottom part of the statement. Instead of a check I got a 3 line letter saying they did not have sufficient information to review my dispute, or return my money. On top of it, I was told I would have received a Macy's Visa, but the statement shows it is an in store card with a whopping 22.90% interest rate.
The entire operation by Macy's Stores and Department Stores National Bank is a huge scam against consumers - the old bait and switch. The reps have every detail of my transaction even the codes on the receipts and the items purchased, yet I am told by the dispute department they have insufficient information to attend to my dispute. Pure Crap!!!
I went back to the Macy's store in Valley Stream NY and the explained the fraudulent accounting. He agreed that I 15% should have been deducted from my cash balance on returned items. He tried to contact customer service with me on the phone - and the rude woman at the other end said, it was not his account and she could not talk with him, even though I gave her permission to discuss my account.
I intend to pursue this matter to the ends of the earth if I have to. And Macy's should be paying me 22.90% on my cash balance they have been refusing to send, plus on the fraudulently deducted 15% I intend to pursue a small claims court case under local Business Law for double the amount owed.
These kind of things happen when big corporations outsource financial and private matters to Asia where it is obvious the reps don't give a hoot, and also are not beyond stealing. Personally I think the surge in identity theft comes from outsourcing.
LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY -- My Experience with Macys Furniture Department and Customer Service. The Good the Bad and The Ugly! 2/10/2004-Ticket Number **. My previous address is **. This is on the first page of your computer screen. My new address is on the second page. I know because I've been through this conversation over 20 times. Well my experience with Macy's Customer service and delivery has had its good and bad parts. To start off when I first received the order back in 2004 from Macy's it had to be returned because that somewhere along the way the back of the leather had been cut with a knife. I had already had trouble with the delivery people showing up at all.
So then I had to wait for them again to exchange the couch. This time it was correct and they did exchange the couch. Later in July 2007 when the couch broke I discovered the Macy's delivery people never put the middle leg on the couch to begin with. Thanks delivery. I loved this couch. You see I'm only 5' 2" and I can only touch the floor on so many couches. So sad and hard to find something that fits like the three little bears. (Just a side note the worry no more program you sell to the public has a less than admirable Better Business Bureau Report).
Flash Forward 7/2007-Present my month long venture with getting things fixed. Ticket number ** and Ticket Number. A Whirlwind of frustrations brought me to this point that I felt I needed to write a letter. It all started on 7/22/2007 when I noticed the couch frame seemed to be broken on my chocolate leather Natuzzi couch style number 214247/806140/025. Being the person I am and understanding the importance of timeliness I went directly to the Macy's store.
I had called and left a message prior but did not get a call back until two hours later from the furniture department at which time I was already making the 20 minute drive to talk to someone about what had occurred. Well I got to the store and told me I had to call the 1-800-511-2865 number and there was nothing that they could do. This of course made me infuriated that on a Sunday I could not get a hold of anyone to ease my mind that things would be taken care of. So I went back home to my house to attempt to call Macy's customer service.
The first call I did not write down whom I spoke with or what time. I thought things would go fairly smooth. So I did not get a hold of anyone on Sunday because customer service is closed. I then called on Monday the 23rd to set up an appointment for my couch to be looked at. They set me up an appointment for July 30th. I was told I would get a call from someone on the Saturday before confirming the time of the appointment. Well no one called and so I just assumed they forgot and would show up on the 30th of July.
Well I did call on Monday morning to get a window of time from the furniture repair department and nothing was set up. So I called customer service again and spoke with **. I was disconnected from him and called back. I then spoke with ** at extension 65644 at 9:45 a.m. and was told there was no way to get someone out that day to look at my couch. I had taken off of work that day to wait on the repair people because I did not know what time they were coming. So I was offered a $150 gift card after asking if there was any compensation that I could receive for my troubles.
I was out over $300 in income waiting on something that did not happen. I found out from the customer service department that furniture services 911 forgot to process my work order. They were then rescheduled to come to my house on August 6, 2007 and they were to call with a time. I asked that I be told a time. ** called me from Furniture Services 911 1-678-947-4272 ext 137 to tell me they would be out at the house between 3:30 and 7:30. Again I took off work in the afternoon to wait. I got a call at 2:30 p.m. from someone at Furniture Services 911 telling me that they could not make it out to the house.
I then called ** ext 65134 and told her what had been going on. They said that they could come the next day during the day. I tried to call ** and he never returned a call. Why does Macy's only contract with one company that only has 30 employees I'll never know? They only have one technician for my area. Anyway, after a lot of complaining I got them to come out to the house after 5:30, which is when I get off from work. They did show up this time. Thank God.
The repair guy told me at that point a middle leg had never been installed on the couch and there was a knot in the wood where it broke under one of the seating areas. He told me that it could be fixed. He would order the parts and they would be in around 3 weeks and to call customer service in three days. I called and told them at customer service what had happened with the couch and why it broke.
In the meantime I got a call from ** 8/10/2007 saying the couch had been discontinued and that they could not get the parts to fix the couch. She told me that they could only replace the couch itself and not the chair and ottoman. I told her my mom was having breast cancer surgery and asked her how long I had to find something. She told me to take my time and that I would have 30 days. I went to the store and sat on everything. I could only touch the floor on two couches and was upset that I had to find a couch to match the other two pieces. So I called and left a message for ** asking her to see if they could special order the couch I already had.
I left two messages on 8/13/2007, two messages on 8/14/2007 for ** asking about other options. On 8/14/2007 I also spoke to ** (at this time the Macy's customer service system was down) and he could not tell me anything either about what to do next. On 8/15/2007 I spoke with ** and left a third message for **. On 8/16/2007 I spoke with ** and left message for ** asking them to reorder the couch. By the way when I asked what had been documented in the computer nothing had been documented about the last three days of phone calls trying to get a hold of someone who could explain the return process.
Finally I got a hold of ** 67808 who told me that it was Macy's policy to replace the entire set for a manufacturer's defect. So then I went back to Macy's to look for furniture. She told me I would get a full credit for the entire amount on ticket number **. She told me that ** must not be aware of the policy of full replacement for a manufacturer's defect. I finally found furniture, which was all right. Nothing any the store stuck out to me like the Natuzzi couch I'd bought before.
So I called the customer service number on 8/21/2007 just to find out the process of things after going to Macy's at lunch to find the gentleman I had been working with was not coming into work until a half hour after the time I had on his card. ** from Macy's Louisville took the time to look everything up for me and was very helpful. I ordered new furniture to be delivered on August 30, 2007. I had to open another Macy's account in order to get my credit, which I was told would be in the store.
This was very frustrating and I can't believe a company would make a customer do something like this in order to receive credit for bad merchandise. Yes I had an account before and it has been cancelled for three years. Anyway I call customer service again today and spoke with ** who was very helpful 8/22/2007 to give them my account number and have the credit be placed on my account. I will not get the credit until the 30th of July (I hope this actually happens). I'm looking forward for this month long process to be over. The new ticket number is **. I hope this furniture is of better quality.
While I was writing this I finally got a phone call back from ** who I called yesterday. Someone else called to help me because as she told me ** does not have time to get back with me. This was at 1:14 p.m. today 8/22/2007. That makes me feel important. I'm glad I went ahead and took care of everything myself by calling until I got someone who could help me.
I'm praying and have my fingers crossed to not have the delivery, repair, and service experiences for the remainder of my business relationship with Macy's. I hope that in the future Macy's finds a better way to integrate all customer service aspects of the furniture department to make it more efficient. Education of all staff at all levels is key on policies and procedures.
Thanks for your time and I really hope this gets some attention. I would hate other customers to have the same experience I have had. Oh, by the way while I was waiting to reorder all of my furniture another customer came in and complained that she never got her confirmation phone call for the delivery for her furniture. Lord help us all!
Update -9/25/2007. It's almost October now and I'm still going. My first couch was delivered with nicks on the leather and scratches on the wood. I called for a replacement. It arrived a long time later and this one is worse off than the first. It looked alright in the drive way but upon getting it in the house I discovered loose threading, nicks in the leather, more scratches on the wood than last time. I'm sick and tired of waiting on people from Macy's to exchange the couch so I asked just to have a repair person sent. They will be coming out on October the 8th. This is the earliest they could get there so I would not have to take off anymore work.
I quit taking names because it really doesn't matter anymore. I hope they can repair the couch but I feel like I should be given back some of the money on the couch for keeping the damaged one. I'm sure nothing will be done about this because I already sent a letter to the corporate headquarters. It is not the delivery people doing this. It has to be happening in manufacturing.
Quality Control does not seem to be doing their job. I received a phone call for another exchange and they told me that I should call customer service and ask them for part of my money back. I did and they offered me $250 that barely covers the cost of the warranty which will be voided. They offered this on top of the $105 gift card that I was given to spend more time waiting on someone to come to my house to look at the furniture. I did not accept because I don't think that they will be able to fix the couch.
10/22/2007. Update - Macy's came out to the house repaired the $2600 couch and is having to send four new legs to me for the couch because they were all broken. Ahh.. quality! You can't ask for more. Macy's headquarters has not responded and I never spoke with the manager from the store who attempted to contact me. We played phone tag for three weeks. Well I'm now stuck with a $2600 couch that was not showroom quality when I got it. Still waiting on the legs to the couch. I'll update when I know more.
OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON -- I think we all need to file a class action lawsuit against Macy's and Uniters. I have been having the same problems as all of you. The salesperson said the same B.S. to me anything and everything is covered. Each time I have called they have been rude and will not cover my couch or chair. Scam!
MIDDLETOWN, NEW YORK -- The employees in the Housewares Department of Macy's are extraordinary. Every time I shop in that department, the employees go above and beyond to help me find what I'm looking for. If they can't find it in the store, they search online and let me know where it can be found at other Macy's locations. They do everything possible to send the customer away satisfied.
During my most recent visit, I was looking for certain pieces of cookware that I saw online but couldn't find in the store. After an associate determined that the items were not stocked at that location, she went online and found them at other Macy's stores. I didn't want to travel the distance, so she offered to have them sent to my home with free shipping. She also honored the online price, which was substantially lower, and gave me an unexpected 15% discount!
I can't vouch for other Macy's locations, but the one in Middletown, NY has never let me down. The employees are not only helpful, they are also pleasant and friendly. They treat customers like guests in their own home. The employees make the store a wonderful place to shop.
SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE -- Does anyone know if there is a class action suit on this??? Apparently a lot of complaints. Do not bother buying this plan!! They will not cover anything. They simply do not want to pay on claims. Bought a 4 piece leather living room set from Macy's in 2004 and was encouraged by the salesperson to purchase a 7 year protection warranty on the furniture. We have kept this furniture looking like new but recently spilled some beer on part of a seat cushion causing discoloration in an area about 4 inches by 8 inches.
We reported the incident within 24 hours (10 day required time) calling the number stated on our copy of the insurance policy. The person on the line identified themselves as a customer service representative for Worry no More and said they will call with a 3 hour time frame to schedule an adjuster. They did call back. Scheduled an appointment.
The adjuster showed up on time with a bottle of some kind of spray. Took some pictures and said he would have to recommend a technician to come and recolor the leather. He also asked me if I had experienced any problems in getting action on this.. said he was getting an earful everywhere he went. I waited a week and called back to see if they were scheduling someone and was told they were denying my claim.. They do not cover this sort of thing.
I looked at my policy and it states "accidental staining or damage to upholstered leather and vinyl furniture" and beverages was included. I have found out that the insurance carrier is a company out of Florida operating under the name of Uniters. If anyone has more info in the form of help please pass it on to me.
CUYAHOGA FALLS, OHIO -- I received a gift card for Macy's on Christmas (2009). So first thing Saturday morning I printed off the 15% off coupon as well as a second which I cannot remember since I wadded it up and left it with the cashier not worth the paper I wasted to print them on.
I purchased my mother a set of winter pajamas and a couple of kitchen items on the second floor of the Chapel Hill Macy's and tried to use my coupon there. And I was told that it was not applicable on anything I purchased even though the fine print did not exclude the items I purchased. So I took the coupon back as I saw something downstairs I liked also and wanted to use up my giftcard. At the second register I purchased an inexpensive DVD player and you guessed it... that cashier said the coupon was not able to be used.
I heard others complaining about this same problem and even the cashier was hissing and complaining that they were worthless. I printed them off and they would not scan. The bar code was perfect. HMMMMM My Husband even heard these same issues being discussed on the radio. I WILL NEVER shop at this rip off store again. I will not purchase another gift card for any family member. They bait to get you into the store and do not honor their own coupons. There are plenty of other stores that chose to do business by honoring the sales coupons...
I had not one issue at Penny's using their after Christmas coupons so they will get my business in the future. I wonder how many more complaints it will take to put an end to this. Who will take over Macy's after they go under for these type of practices? Macy's stores in the past were O'neils, then Kauffman's, now Macy's... You would think they would be bending over backwards to retain business not lose it. I will spend my hard earned money elsewhere. This needs to be investigated and I am sure it will be.
COLUMBUS, OHIO -- I opened a department store account with Macy's to get a discount on my rather large purchase. (My biggest mistake in years!) I was led to believe (Before I opened the account) that I would be able to pay the bill right then and there. Well I had to go to another part of the store and use a check (not a debit card!) which I do not carry around. In this day and age who uses paper checks?
I do not shop often in the malls so returning was not likely. I registered with the website online several days later thinking I could get the info I needed for my bank to send an electronic payment. My account # is not listed online thus I could get the info I needed for my bank. I waited and waited and waited for a statement to appear in my mailbox; I'm still waiting 4 weeks later!!!
The website shows my account balance with a due date that has passed! Remember I have yet to receive a statement, so I do not know my account # and cannot pay my bill without it!!
I called "customer service" (I used that term with my teeth gritted) and was told there is no balance due* so I will not receive a statement!
*Apparently they think the due date is 4 weeks in the future, thus no statement is sent for however long they choose. They do not send statements "until there is a balance due". I do not feel that setting an arbitrary time to send me MY INFORMATION is fair. This reeks of setting someone up for late fees, service fees etc. To add insult to injury I have received a Macy's VISA card!!! I do not want this card and never asked for this card, and am upset I now have TWO accounts to cancel! Of course the Macy's VISA is a COMPLETELY different account #.
The website will allow payments if they can get your checking account #. Giving them more info is the last thing I want to do. This is why people use the bank to pay bills and not individual websites, only the bank has the info not everyone else. I feel as if this is a way for making people forget about the balance for a while, send the statement later hoping they can get the extra late fees service fees etc by catching you unprepared.
SHERMAN OAKS, CALIFORNIA -- MACY'S THE MAGIC NOT TO PAY OVERTIME TO EMPLOYEES. MACY'S, a company with a tainted reputation that you should not work for. Macy's located in Sherman Oaks, at the Fashion Center Mall, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423. Many years ago, and only for 4 days, Macy's told employees to do paper work during working hours, but soon after that, Macy's told employees not do it no more because it wasn't productive neither profitable for Macy's.
MACY'S - NOT OVERTIME PAID SINCE 1983 FOR PAPER WORK DONE AT HOME. MACY'S OWES MY WIFE MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN UNPAID OVERTIME. Macy's used forced resignation instead of firing my wife to rip off her, to bypass the law and not to pay a dime to my wife, including not severance payment, not overtime paid in 25 years (3.3 hours daily) for work done at home for MACY'S on an hourly employee working 40 hours a week. Because of Macy's actions, my wife never got any unemployment or workers compensation
My wife worked as a manager at Macy's and MACY'S never pay for it. In 2002 or before, my wife was so well qualified doing her job at Macy's, that my wife was taking the manager place when the manager was on long vacation or on other duties for Macy's or when the manager was promoted. Macy's never ever increased my wife hourly pay for the extra work done as a manager. For several years, my wife was doing that for months, because Macy's delayed on purpose to hire a new manager to replace the previous one gone
MACY'S greed, enjoyed to have a capable person as manager and not to pay the manager salary. MY wife never got ANY PAY FOR IT OR INCREASED ON HER SALARY. My wife never was PROMOTED AND DOING FOR 25 YEARS THE SAME WORK: selling expensive women apparel – floor sales. My wife got a lot of top reviews from customers and many outstanding certificates from Macy's, year after year. Only pieces of paper. Meanwhile Macy's pocketed extreme profits from extreme markups on everything sold.
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA -- I ordered some items online and when I got them they weren't quite what I thought. The material and lay of the outfits seemed different.However that isn't the problem. When I went into the store to return the items I was greeted and asked what I needed, so far so good then it goes downhill. The associate looks at the items as I place them on the counter and says "this isn't even my department" and I asked her if she was capable of refunding them. Apparently I was in petites and I had items from juniors. Then in a rude tone looks at me and says, "Well what goes with what," and had me take the packaging slip and separate the order into 2 piles of how it was shipped.
By now I'm pretty ticked off and just want to get my refund processed. She does it sighing and mumbling under her breath about the items. Finally she puts her hand out with my receipt. I grab it and ask if I'm done as she replies "yea" and that's it.
I love Macy's and I shop there constantly with my boyfriend. It's our go to store when we hit the mall.I have never had such a horrible customer experience in any store or setting before. I am greatly unsatisfied with how I was treated.I planned to look for my mom's mothers day present today and a few items for my home. And I didn't even get to purchase them because I was so upset I got sidetracked and just wanted to leave the store as quickly as possible.
If I do continue to shop at Macy's I will definitely not be returning to the Scottsdale Fashion Square location. My experience was horrible. The associate ** was incredibly rude, there was no excuse for her poor attitude and representation of the store.
DANBURY, CONNECTICUT -- I had 4 Martha Stewart Enamel Pots. I loved them. However there was a recall on them and you were told to return them to Macy's for a full refund. So I returned them on October 11, 2011. The one salesclerk in the home store told me the recall was no big deal that no one had really been hurt by the enamel coming off the pots even though there was a recall notice on the cash register that clearly stated that two people were injured. Then my "full refund". These pots were listed at $160 and down. I had two of the biggest pots, 1 the next size down and then the smallest pot. They gave me $61.75 each for the two biggest pots, $44.36 for the next and $27.65 for the smallest.
When I complained I was told that was the lowest price that these pots sold for and did I have a receipt. I did not but stated that I had paid more and used my Macy's card to purchase all of them so we could just look it up. I was told that they could only go back six months so they couldn't find it nor was I given that option. I found my receipt for one of my largest pots and I paid over $80 for it and that was with a sale and a coupon. I would have loved to have paid these prices for them. Then I was given a gift card only good at Macy's. I have been a loyal customer for Macy's for a number of years but after the gift card I don't think I'll be shopping there anymore.
As for Martha Stewart, I liked her products but if this is what I get. I won't be buying anything else from her either. Maybe I should have just kept my pots and when something happened I should have turned around and sued Macy's and Martha Stewart. Anyone else frustrated by this?

Environmental Health - Toxic Substances Hydrology Program
Hunters Point, a Superfund site in San Francisco Bay, California, that's heavily contaminated with PCBs, was used as a study area to develop tools and methods to assess contaminated sediments. The standard method to assess an ecological hazard made analyses very difficult and inconclusive. Therefore, the goal of USGS scientists and their colleagues was to characterize the relationship between bioavailable PCB (controlled in situ by amendments of activated carbon) and the functional ecology of the benthic community.More Information
Lake and river bottom sediments contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been documented in industrial areas (past and current) throughout the United States. These contaminated sediments raise concerns because they have known and suspected ecological impacts. Although various remediation approaches ranging from complete removal of the contaminated sediment offsite to in situ sequestering of contaminated sediments have been in place for decades, remediation decisions are often encumbered by a lack of understanding of the long-term effectiveness and potential ecological consequences of various techniques. Through ecological modeling of benthic communities (bottom dwelling) and by collecting data on what aquatic organisms are or are not present, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Stanford University, California, scientists have developed a tool to aid in those decisions.
In a paper recently published in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (Janssen and others, 2011) the scientists defined the role (or function) of different organisms in a community that lives in or on the sediments (the benthic community) at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard Superfund Site, California (see text box). The scientists compared the total function of PCB-contaminated and uncontaminated benthic communities. The functions they studied included feeding method (food sources that are sediment borne or water borne, organisms that are carnivores, parasites, ...), reproductive method (egg laying, broadcast spawner, ...), and position in the sediment (a surface dweller protected from the sediment vs a burrower that is exposed to the sediment and its contaminants). Because it's important to know what organisms are and are not living in an area, the scientists assessed the population of benthic organisms in both the contaminated and uncontaminated sediments. By relating functional composition of the benthic community and its members to PCB bioavailability that is potentially induced by in situ remediation, the model provides a measure of the ecosystem recovery expected if the in situ treatment is effective. This is the first time the challenge of defining the effectiveness of the in situ sequestering of PCB's has been addressed in terms of the function of the local community of organisms.
This study was funded by the USGS Toxic Substances Hydrology, Hydrologic Research and Development, and Priority Ecosystem Science Programs, and by the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP - ER-1552).
