You mean they are going to fund a recount hoping to benefit themselves and funding it with our money? How generous of them.

Taxpayers have to pay for the recount? Ridiculous!
Posted by Jill, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Dec 1, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Whoever ordered this should be fired. If a recount is desired, the Yes campaign should be paying. This should be illegal to use taxpayer funds for this.

Now now, let's not get upset when "your" government uses your money for the recount. On second thought, isn't the group requesting the recount supposed to pay. O' I just remembered, this is another tax increase isn't it. So we will pay to see if we can sway the results so we can all pay more taxes to keep the unions working and pay for their retirement. Something sounds wrong here. Are we getting screwed again??

LOL. Is there ever a day that goes by that the lot of you on here all the time DON'T get yourselves all flustered up about everything in the world?? Take a deep breath and just relax... you'll be fine.
Now I'm sure even this post will ruffle you all up some more... hahaha

This reminds me of flipping coins with a small child. They often demand a reflip. When it comes out like they want, then it's a valid flip. Well, I may not like the outcome of the recount and will demand another flip.
Posted by anon, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Dec 5, 2012 at 12:58 pm
mooseturd, not sure that's a fair analogy... since any election count done relatively quickly on that day could have some margin of error, if the percentage difference between winning and losing is small, then it's reasonable it could be within the error rate. In that case, the recount is more like a double-check on the results with a more careful accounting. They wouldn't do a recount if the initial result was say 60% approval since the likelihood that it was 66.67% is just too low. But given this is currently at around 66.51% or something like that, it's clearly within a likely margin of error.
Therefore, trying to use a coin analogy, I think this is more like trying to read a flipped coin from 25 feet away the first time and asking for the second look at the coin to be with a zoom lense instead. There's no change in the underlying raw data (the actual votes or the first flip of the coin).

Who is checking the checkers?
Considering the massive amount of money contributed by the yes on B1 campaign, including the unions that will benefit greatly, the endorsements of most democratic politicians in the county, and the fact the no on B1 campaign was essentially unfunded, is anyone else concerned that Measure B1 money will find a way to tilt the outcome in their favor.
Again, I hope some taxpayer organization is monitoring the recount. What I expect is a disappointing outcome via a short-circuiting of the process. When Billions of taxpayer dollars at stake their is nothing the unions, The ACTC, and Haggerty won't do to ensure their future funding.
Posted by Failed again, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Dec 6, 2012 at 1:11 am
The Valley Times is reporting that after the recount (partial recount in Berkeley), the measure again failed.
What a waste of taxpayer money to do a recount. Haggerty and Miley should both be removed from office.
Posted by Dr Tom, a resident of the Downtown neighborhood, on Dec 8, 2012 at 5:51 pm
They could have used the recount money to fix the potholes on 680. I guess when you're gambling with taxpayer money, anything is a good bet.

Mike Krzyzewski: YOU MAD
Posted: March 4, 2013 Filed under: NCAA Basketball | Tags: blue, cavaliers, coach, court, devils, duke, K, Krzyzewski, Mad, Mike, rushing, security, storming, Virginia, You Leave a comment »
Last week, the Duke Blue Devils took a loss to the unranked Virginia Cavaliers at John Paul Jones Arena. The game was an exciting and close game which ended in a five point win for the "good guys." As soon as the final horn went off, the University of Virginia students rushed the court. Which, in my opinion, happens a little to frequently for my liking and I am 100% against rushing when it isn't a major upset. However, this was an unranked Virginia team against the number three team in the country. I can see a cause for a ruckus after a win like that. This isn't two unranked teams who just happen to be playing their rivalry game. This is a pretty good upset, one that warrants an court storming. Well, when Coach K got to the press conference, he wasn't too happy with how the whole thing went down.
Here is a video of the least crazy floor rushing I have ever seen.
After that mild mannered court rushing, the winningest college basketball coach of all time expressed his views on fans rushing the floor. He spouted off a bunch of hypotheticals about player, coach and fan safety. Now I am paraphrasing here, but it went a little something like this: What if a player punches a fan? What if a fan gets in a players face? What if the coaches get into it with a spectator? Ok, we get it Coach. Crazy things can happen. How often have they happened in the past, Coach? Looking at the video above, as well as a few others, the security staff did a very good job of blocking you and your players from any fan interaction. Not only did they do a good job, it looks like all those fans avoided anyone associated with your program. Pretty sure Cavalier fans were as classy as you can be rushing the court in the faces of your opponent.
Coach K you just lost to a kid that played in one of the lowest levels of high school basketball in the state of Washington. Face it Mike, you just don't like losing. When you get up on the microphone next time, just tell the truth….

Glossary of Operatic and Musical Theater Terms
Excerpt from the libretto for Don Giovanni |
MUSICAL THEATER: A type of theatrical production that combines music, song, spoken dialogue, and dance to convey a story. Musical-theater influences include opera, operetta, vaudeville, jazz, and popular song.
OPERA: A theatrical production that is entirely dependent on the use of singing and orchestral music to present and convey a story. In opera, the words or text are sung rather than spoken, and the music highlights, underscores, and supports the story. Topics of operas ranges from folklore, mythology, history, and religion to poems, plays, and novels.
OPERA BUFFA: The genre of opera in which the subject matter is entirely comic. Opera buffa rose to popularity in Italy and abroad during the course of the 18th century. These operas focused on people from all walks of life, often depicting characters from the lower classes outsmarting members of the upper classes.
OPERA SERIA: The genre of opera in the 18th century in which the subject matter is entirely serious. The topics of opera seria are usually drawn from Greek mythology or Roman history.
OPERETTA: Light-hearted musical entertainment containing dance, spoken dialogue, practical jokes, and mistaken identities. Operettas were especially popular in the late 19th century.
OVERTURE: The overture, which originated in opera, is an instrumental or orchestral musical composition that acts as an introduction to an opera or other theater work. The overture often introduces musical themes that will occur later in the performance. It is frequently a stand-alone composition that can be performed as part of a concert, independent of the opera for which it was written.
PRELUDE: A short instrumental work for orchestra that leads directly, with no pause, into the opening act of an opera or other theater work. Preludes differ from overtures in that they are shorter works, and usually are not works that could be performed independently from the opera for which they were written.
RECITATIVE: A type of vocal writing in opera that mimics speech or recitation. Often preceding arias, recitatives generally convey a course of action that a character will take, rather than expressing a state of mind or emotion that a character feels.
RENAISSANCE: The period of Western music between 1450 and 1600. In the latter years of the Renaissance period, the emergence of a group of writers, humanists, historians, poets, and composers (collectively known as the Florentine Camerata) marked the earliest beginnings of opera.
ROMANTIC: The period of Western music between the early 19th and early 20th centuries. Composers of romantic music frequently found inspiration in nature and painting. Beethoven was one of the earliest romantic opera composers, although the most famous are Wagner and Verdi.
SUPERTITLES: In American opera houses, English translations of an opera's libretto that are projected onto a screen above the stage during performances.

TESSITURA: An Italian term meaning "texture" that is used in opera to describe the vocal range of a role. It is also used to describe a piece of music in relation to the vocal type for which it was written. For example, Verdi's baritone roles are said to have a particularly high tessitura.
VERISMO: An Italian term meaning "realism," it refers to the movement in Italian literature and music reflecting naturalism or realism that was made popular through the novels of Émile Zola. Stories typically centered around every day people, and the moral ambiguities that they face within society. Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana and Leoncavallo's Pagliacci are examples of Italian verismo operas.

Loveless Hut
Posted on 08 / 21 / 2012I was excited to try another Loving Hut, so I showed up at 11 and their hours have now changed to 1130. I waited as patiently as a hungry person could and entered a few minutes after it opened. I was seated and then ignored for 5 minutes, and then a lady came in to order takeout, saying she had a 30 minute window to order for 5 people. At that point I was completely ignored and they discussed the list of menu items and which ones were not available and how much other items would feed how many people etc. The customer had a question that the girl couldn't answered so she disappeared into the back and after about 3 minutes I got up and left. After reading other reviews that menu items were not available I was disappointed that this was true and don't think I will be back.

From: L.A Now
It was a rare, breathtaking sight: In a flash, a pod of about 1,000 common dolphins began a stampede, churning across the blue-gray waters off Dana Point at a rapid pace.
Dave Anderson, the captain of Capt. Dave's Dolphin and Whale Safari, said that in the decades he's spent on the water and out among Southern California's dense dolphin population, it's a phenomenon he's encountered only rarely.
Yet last weekend, it happened again … and it happened twice: once on Saturday afternoon and again on Sunday morning. Boat hands captured Sunday's stampede on video.
"It's one of those things you can hope for it, but you can't plan for it," he said.
"It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of beautiful and interesting things" on the water.
He described the sensation like being in the midst of a herd of wild horses. The dash began in an instant, he said. At some points the dolphins reached speeds of more than 25 mph, outpacing his boat.
"Suddenly, like someone fired a gun," he said, "they're off and running."

Sorry - but this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.Labor unveils plan to offer schools up to $100,000 in incentives
August 9, 2010
SCHOOLS will be eligible for new incentives of up to $100,000 if they can boost literacy, numeracy and attendance rates under a $388 million program that Labor will unveil today.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard will try to push past the dramas of the weekend and build momentum in the critical final fortnight with a new policy pitched at the families that applauded the accountability culture encouraged by the government's MySchool website.
Under the new program, primary schools will be offered $75,000 if the schools improve attendance, literacy and numeracy.
High schools will be offered $100,000. The criteria for high schools will be school attendance and year 12 retention, year 12 results, and the number of students going on successfully to work, vocational training, or university study.
Parents and school principals will be given control over how to spend their incentive payments. This follows sustained criticism that the government's huge school building program was driven too rigidly by state education authorities rather than by school communities.
The new schools program Ms Gillard will unveil in Perth will offer payments to 500 campuses in 2012 - pitching Labor's campaign discussion into an area of traditional strength. Labor will promise the system will be fully operational by 2014, offering the bonuses to 1000 schools.
The budget for the program is $388 million over five years. More than $160 million will be spent over the current forward estimates.
The Prime Minister will commit to establishing an Office of National School Evaluation within the Australian Curriculum and Reporting Authority to oversee the new incentives system.
Assessments for the bonus payments will be done with a combination of national data and a self-assessment by individual schools. Schools must be able to demonstrate clear year-on-year improvements to have a prospect of winning incentive payments.
The combination of national and self-assessment will aim to overcome the inherent difficulties in comparing very enriched schools with highly disadvantaged schools.
Labor has aimed to capitalise on voters' perceptions that it is better for education than its Liberal opponents with several campaign pledges. Labor has also narrowed the policy difference with the Liberals in two key areas.
Last week the government neutralised the fraught political issue of funding for private schools by promising to maintain the current investment for a year longer than expected.
The elite (and rich) schools - who already have high attendance and good results (or they get rid of the students who dont perform) will easily get incentives.
The poorer schools, who struggle (ie the ones who need the extra money) are the ones who will not be able to meet the criteria.
Also - it will be easier for smaller schools to get a % increase in these things than for bigger schools.
Another from me for this one.

rainy days must be magic.
i'm quite certain of it, as when the rain starts to fall, these little things begin to happen here. little moments. productivity. stopping and seeing the moment for more than it really is.
it was another one of these days. and for that to happen twice in such little time...well, the planets must be aligned quite spectacularly tonight. that and brett is gone this week which always seems to ignite me to do more and be more to make up for his absence.
and while sometimes these posts happen to arrange themselves with some lovely sort of theme...tonight, it's just pure stream-of-consciousness. a lot of pictures from a camera that has somehow created some beautiful images for me lately. a girl whose soul-loveliness has just touched me in so many ways as we enjoy these last months of just her and i. creativity. and the random little bits of life that seem to sew it all together. yes, it shall be one of those posts.
beginning with a little creativity and a $10 walmart bag we turned into a bye-bye bag. a sort of mary poppinsish bag full of never-ending surprises to entertain her while we are out. and i'm not sure why we do this for our kids...because when we were little and went to a restaurant, our parents packed squat for us and yet we were happy to play rock-paper-scissors or contentedly stack sugar packets into towers while we waited for our food. and we were just fine. however, the contents of this bag have proved to be saviors while out not to mention the process of stamping her little painted hands for the making of it was all too much fun. and we love suggestions for good bye-bye bag contents. for now, it's play-dough and stickers, crayons, chalkboard, coloring books and little dolls with clothes.
and unlike her mother, she puts everything back right where it goes, carefully zipping each bag closed before taking out another.
and one creative leads to another. so, after procrastinating a bit on hauling out the paint shirt, water cups and all the clean-up gear for her little pleas of paint, mama, i gave in to her sweet creative soul this morning as we painted vivid swirls on crisp white paper and she clumsily attempted (with help) to paint over my dashed-line guides to spell out the name i love...and she points to it and says...yaynee.
i could have watched her all day. her concentration and the way she humbly tried to hide her crooked satisfied smile. how careful she was to not make a mess...to switch colors, dipping her brush in water between each. and then hours later when brandyn came home from school, the way she grabbed his hand, ran him to see her masterpiece all stretched and dried on the easel. look, bramban.
...and while i thought i cleaned up all the paint and put it safely away from mischievous hands, two hours later i walked into the bathroom, flipped the lid of her potty and found...well...lainey's technicolor dream poop. her little business nicely smothered in puddles of red, orange and purple paint. i'd have taken a picture, but i spared you.
we squeezed in a noon photo shoot of this sweet baby, ella...
and i let little b stay up from a nap to help as she is now accustomed to tagging along on home shoots and does so well to stay out of the way, tag two steps behind me, make the babies smile...and even holds her own little camera sometimes. so proud of her...and she loves to be included in my "work."
this little one worked the lense oh so splendidly.
(can't decide on color or antique for this one!)
then came the really good...the hardest rain...and the most precious moments of my day.
we escaped, her and i, to our little ice cream treasure where i captured, in the downpour, some of my most favorite pictures ever of her. believe it or not, these were unposed. just pure lainey doin' her thing.
the rain was just cascading in torrents and we had no umbrella (which i'm liking because we always have more fun without one)...but we did have a beach towel...so i let her play in the rain with her towel. and i don't know who was more thrilled--her, to unleash all this toddler into puddles that begged to be stomped in, rain that pleaded to be danced in--or this mama who watched it all quietly, contentedly, thankfully...behind her lense. i'm sure it was me.
we stayed stuck, banished by the rain to our quaint little plaza, so we meandered down the line of little shops past our ice cream treasure into our favorite kids boutique where, for fun, we fancied the likes of three little grandmas inside with lainey's parade out of the dressing room, trying on a hodge-podge pile of things she pulled off shelves she could reach.
and finally, home...where it continued to rain, dimming the house into a cozy place for naps. she cuddled into her big girl bed without the slightest of fuss and fell fast asleep in minutes. i steeped a pot of tea, lit a candle and began to look back at our pictures.
and it hit me for the first time. the fact that, although i am so already in love with our new little bean and loving the idea of her arrival being such a gift for lainey...it will mean the end of so many days of undivided attention for her.
i cried--sipping my tea in the rain--looking at pictures of painting and ice cream and a morning well-spent...knowing that these last months of brewing anticipation and the crescendo to that beautiful day also represents a slowly closing window to what we have...what she has. how her life will change...and she doesn't even know. i am so happy for her...and yet today, admitedly, a bit sad as well. it will be good for her...and good for us, and i know we will handle it beautifully and everything will fall perfectly into place...because we love and we love good. but, i want to give everything to both of them and know expectations will have to be altered. i will struggle to document every beautiful bit of life for both...to scribble lovelies in baby books...to take pictures of accomplishments as simple as little fingers closing ziplock bags...to bake and write and read, all the while keeping a house and loving a husband and maintaining the little hollows of self-fulfilment a mama must keep to love bigger and better. a change i am embracing but know will bring new challenges.
for now...we love.
'cuz we know how to do that.
and the rest will fall into place.
(and thank you for your comments as of late. there are a couple of you who are link-less in blogworld that have said some of the sweetest things and i wanted to send back a message but can't. thank you always for kind words...and while i don't ever want to be a 'comment-digger' i am not too proud to admit, finding a comment in my e-mail box always makes me smile. because it's a little bit of love. and who doesn't love love? i really do try and get back to as many of you as possible or visit your blogs from time to time. so, thank you, sweet friends.)

random bits of loveliness.
24 comments:
Oh the magic that fell like the showers...savor and celebrate these tiny moments--they are golden. You will turn around, and she is gone...with the strong roots and rich memories you have given her. Oh the joy of seeing puddles and ice cream cones through the eyes of a child. And what a beauty this baby is...so thoughtful in those eyes! Bravo!

those pictures of her at the fountain with the icecream are just stunning. You are so talented, do you know anyone almost as talented in Southern Cali? I am begging for pro shots and have a hard time finding someone who captures what you capture - perhaps a trip to Naples is in order!

OK, the last shot...is my Lainey Love putting her footsies in the zip lock bag? Fresh toes...my favorite. I would have pinched them through the bag to check for freshness, and bought a pound and made her laugh. Yes, I would.

The crossed ankles?! Love it. And, yes, those moments of realization about the next babe joining your family. I know them. A commenter on my blog said something really lovely:
...I wondered the same thing waiting for my second little one. It was the most amazing thing. And honestly, I think I ended up with more than double. Enjoy this magical time with two but not two kids, you will always remember it as a very special quiet window, like the few short weeks between the change of the seasons. - September 16, 2009 at 6:44 AM
I cried and cried when I brought my second little girl home, I hadn't thought about what was about to happen. Every time I looked at my older daughter I would burst out again. It's sad, but its necessary...
Enjoy your girls being little, drink it up, mine are teenagers and I have moments of not recognizing my life, or myself as a mother anymore...It's so hard. - September 16, 2009 at 7:36 AM

It rains so that you can enjoy those cozy days. Someone "upstairs" says slow down, dance in the rain, enjoy these precious moments with "just" the two of you. Those precious "us" moments that will forever remain in your fluffy huggable memories! Once again your creativity inspires us all to be a little more "kelle-ish" . . . now I want a bye-bye bag just like Lainey's!
Fav photo, the one with her hand over her mouth! Love it! - September 16, 2009 at 10:41 AM
Felt the same way toward the end of my pregnancy w/ Ella..."this will be the last time just the two of us read books together, go to the mall, share a picnic lunch" etc. but the truth is you will still have those special times w/ just Lainey when maybe daddy is w/ the new little. And I always tried to remind myself Haley had all this special time to herself w/ just us that the second one would never know. SO excited for next weekends shoot. I need a cute fallish hat for Haley-seen any out there??

Love all the photos and the fact you embrace the rain - perhaps you do have British connections?! It's a time of change over here too (C now officially a toddler, a new job starting next week and subsequently C's first foray into daycare. Yes, there have been tears. From both of us! But we'll get used to the new normal). And I truly believe that when your precious girl arrives, after a short while, it will seem like that's how it has always been. And I have no doubt you'll embrace your new normal with style, flair and panache - and leave us all with mouths agape saying, "How does she do it?!" Good wishes to you and LL - keep on loving the way you do.

I, too remember those last few months before out little Spencer arrived. Holly and I had so much Mommy and Hollybug time together. I would sit and wonder how it was possible to love another as much as I loved her. Such silly thoughts! As soon as his chubby cheeks emerged.....my heart and my love doubled in size. Then there were challenges, but I learned to embrace my time alone with each of them and rejoice in the times I watched them play together. To this day, I do the same. Lainey will always have these memories...even if in the back of her mind as her baby sis arrives. These memories will make her an even better big sis! Sandy Smith

Today, I hid private tears for the silliest of reasons. I wiped them away before anyone could see. You see,I stopped by a colleague's office this morning and on her desk was a basket of suckers...lollipops...dum dums to be specific. And I remembered when one of these little confectionaries on a stick brought pure unfettered bliss to your heart. A brief and precious chapter...a tiny window of just discovering life. It passed too quickly. And I looked at the pictures again of this little sprite...with one red boot in babyhood and the other in childhood. Squeeze her tight tonight and give her a lollipop from her poppa. It will melt too quickly. I love you.

i so remember that struggle of feeling like stella and i were going to lose something when little cora came along. but i have to tell you ... not to sound sappy or reiterate what is said everyday ... it only gets better. you have to MAKE opportunities to be with just each other sometimes ... and i think that (from my end) that makes stella feel so much more important. and it's just kind of this little thing that you have with your oldest. it's hard to describe. you KNOW each other beyond all other knowing. the slightest look can send you into a fit of hysterics (almost typoed writing hit of fysterics...)
it's something that can never disappear.
and the littlest little? they add so much to what you already have. in cora's case, she has become our little household comedy. she makes us all giggle and do more than we've already done.
and now that i've written you a post in a comment ... i'm admitting i love comments too. they make my day ... especially from those that i admire greatly for their photograpic abilities and much more so ... their ability to mother so beautifully. so thanks. - September 17, 2009 at 7:21 AM

I so enjoy your blog. A friend of mine found it b/c one of her cousins' kids was featured in pics. Anyway.
I love how you write & live & dress your little girl with such art. I envy your ability to see things with such color and creativity.
I'm expecting our 3rd any day now. Reading about your mixed feelings about the changes having a 2nd brings, brought back all those memories. I try not to feel guilty that my first got so much more attention and got to do things that I can't do with two. But then I also have to work at not feeling guilty about how much more relaxed I am now with the 2nd, relaxed enough to enjoy him.
And there is nothing more precious than hearing their little voices as they play together in their little world of imagination. I'm so glad I could give that to them. They have so much fun together... I'm a little jealous that I didn't have a sib that close to be my forever best friend.
Praying you have a happy, healthy baby & that Lainey will find much enjoyment in being a big sister! - September 17, 2009 at 7:16 PM

there's no shame in grieving what you are losing while at the same time gaining another baby. I allowed myself nights of tears while rocking my jaxon to bed, thinking "these are our last together moments" but what got me through it was knowing that i didn't waste a second of it. From 8-11-06 at 5:35am i savored every second, and that allowed me to be able to move on knowing that i had done my best with our twosome time together. and i know you know this, but i'll say it anyway, what you are gaining is SO much more than what you are losing, and soon you'll see that you can't even remember a time when you didn't have baby#2. i know i can't.

I cried too when I brought number 2 home - be ready, that will be there. But quickly remember that this is a NEW dimension of life that you are giving Lainey. A new experience for her, to be a big sister - she will be fuller, happier, for the 'family' aspect of life. Even tho now you can give her everything...soon you will give her something better.
Also, those tiny party-favor play-dohs?? Are you kidding? My favorite! They come in BLACK! love 'em. - September 21, 2009 at 5:29 AM
Your daughter is so beautiful, and you are such a lovely mother! I hope I can be HALF as good as a mom as you are one day... and you are so inspiring! In fact... (I sheepishly admit this) I even wrote myself an email of all of the things I want to do when I am a mom, the little things which add up... take her for ice cream, take her picture, jump in puddles, play at the park, give a hug just because. :)
Thank you for all of your lessons. - April 3, 2010 at 5:46 PM

I am an avid seller and buyer on eBay and have been for many years. I am writing because I have been very disappointed with some of the new changes that were made to eBay, particularly regarding the feedback system. I must say, on a positive note, I absolutely love the new layout for the listings. It looks very organized and streamlined. It used to be that a buyer or seller could choose to leave positive, negative, or neutral feedback (or none at all) for their eBay transactions. The new system in which buyers may ONLY receive positive feedback (or no feedback) is unfair. I realize this change was made in response to problems with retaliatory feedback, but in all honesty, it just makes it seem like eBay doesn't want to handle more work in terms of feedback retraction. Plus, I think that most people who use eBay generally are honest. I have had some terrible experiences with buyers (taking 2-3 weeks to pay for an item) and I am then forced to leave positive or no feedback. I think other sellers on eBay might like to know if a particular buyer has a history of unreasonable payment habits. My choices: I could leave the buyer's feedback score unchanged by saying nothing or leave positive feedback with my negative comments, but this would drive a bad buyer's feedback score UP. An added suggestion is to make feedback mandatory. It is very frustrating to buy or sell 10 or 12 items and not see your feedback score go anywhere, which is often the case. At very least, an automated email reminder would be nice as Amazon.com does. It reminds people to leave feedback after a purchase. I feel one of the cornerstones of eBay (part of what makes it great) is the feedback concept. I think the only way for buyers and sellers within the eBay community to accurately represent themselves is through feedback. It would be nice to see more emphasis put on it on eBay's end of things.
FEEDBACK IS OPTIONAL. NOT LEAVING IT IS OPTIONAL. There is noblackmail involved in simply not leaving feedback. Please learnproper Ebay behavior before you buy anything again harm anotherinnocent seller. Negative feedback can do all sorts of nasty things toa seller. These are only warrented if the seller has actually donesomething wrong. Not leaving feedback fast enough to satisfy youisn't wrong in the slightest. Threatening to leave negative feedback not leaving feedback quicklyenough is feedback extortion under Ebay rules. Threatening behavior isnot allowed, and can be removed. It's also a great way to getyourself blocked from bidding on further auctions by anyone the sellertells. As a seller, I rarely leave feedback until it's been left for me. It's standard practice for any seller who's been around a while andpredates the crappy new system. As a buyer I leave it within 48 hoursof receiving my item. As a seller I leave feedback once my buyer hashis/her item and leaves feedback for me. That happens after the USPShas gotten around to delivering the stuff, generally shipped within 24hours of cleared payment.
I'm sorry that there are dishonest people in the world that try toruin everything for the rest of us, but as a buyer something like thiskinda protects us a little. Maybe ebay should prominently post a ratiofor buyers, ie, out of 100 items they only received 30 positivefeebacks or something. I was really badly burned once as a buyer. I ordered an item as a giftand paid for it promptly. After two weeks, I emailed the seller askingwhen it would arrive. S/he told me that they were sorry but they wereout of stock on that item and would refund my money. As a result, Ileft nuetral--not negative--feedback saying that they hadmisadvertised having an item. (It was a regular auction, not a storeor buy it now). They turned around and left negative feedback, sayingI hadn't paid for my item.!!! I was so mad, I asked them to remove itsince that was totally false. S/he wrote back and said they would ifI'd remove mine! I wrote ebay about this but they said there was nothing they could do.That kinda ruined the idea of the feedback program, since from then onI had no idea whether or not buyers were manipulated into removingnegative feedback from a seller.
My opinion should be that the number of unpaid item strikes a buyerhas should be made public, along with the dollar amount and itemtitle. For example, among all the positive feedback could be a redhighlighted box that says ***"UNPAID ITEM STRIKE! "supercute blue hoodie w/ sparkles from a&fsz. s L@@K!!!" $25.71 12/8/08*** It includes all the details, including the typical tacky eBay title,price, and date.
Interesting letter. I've mostly been avoiding eBay these days, but Idefinitely think you have some good points - and you did a good jobexplaining them and putting together a good suggestion letter. :) I agree that mandatory feedback - or at least a reminder, would begreat. I always like to leave feedback (usually positive), butsometimes get distracted or just plain forget. ^_^ It'd be nice if xnumber of days past a purchase, I received a follow up email saying"hey, go leave feedback!" I also understand the reasoning behind the only positive feedback onbuyers, but I wish they would find a way to at least allow neutralfeedback, or some type of non-positive comments. I think it's prettyobvious (and bound to occur) that both buyers and sellers willmisbehave, and it's unfair if only the sellers are docked for it. Good letter!
I didn't look at all the posts, so I'm sorry if someone said thisalready, but looking at my DH's ebay feedback page, it says you CANleave whatever feedback you want, you just have to wait seven days(They want you to try to work it out first). So I'm confused, is thisa planned change? Because it doesn't seem to have been implementedyet.
I'm a seller with closing in on 1400 feedback. I have to agree;they're actively trying to chase small sellers like me off the site. They forget that small individual sellers are what built them in thefirst place, and what really feeds the beast. The buyers are going totake a hike too, the ones not already chased off by Chinesecounterfeit merchants (which is a whole new rant), going where themerchandise is. Some of us stick around because there's no viablealternative yet. As soon as Google gets around to starting an auction site (and you'dbetter believe the idea has been floated) I'm casper. A lot ofantique dealers and jewelry dealers are already gone. They're off totheir own websites, other venues, closed down entirely.
Ebay's new CEO has big plans to revamp Ebay into an "Amazon Lite". Hewas quoted as saying that Ebay is "too much like a flea market" andhis intention is to drive small sellers, who are what made Ebay sosuccessful, and to move to becoming more of a Wal-Mart like onlinestore. The first step was raising FVF's and listing fees, then creating afeedback system buyer based, which is more akin to shoppers leavingfeedback on here than a typical online forum of bidders and winners. Ebay wants you and I to GO AWAY. Even Power Sellers are being treatedlike yesterday's newspaper. Have you seen their stock price lately?Mr. Donohoe is working overtime to crash this ride so he can rebuildand reshape it into what he wants it to be. and enjoy Craigslist while it's still unmolested, Ebay owns a part ofit too...only a matter of time before Donohoe takes that over too.
There is an issue with FREE SHIPPING. Looking at the DSR's...if youreceive free shipping, some buyers have marked a FOUR STAR....thinkingit was a good thing. Actually that can drive your rating down. Your rating drops so low & you're suspended for 30 days.
I've used ebay only two or three times in my life, so I find all thistechnical information interesting. I think donno has provided someinfo as well. I like this exchange. I like the idea of mandatory feedback--I think people like me, whohardly ever use the site, should have to provide some feedback. Itwould never occur to me to return to the site to do so. Great letter.
I am going to try to stay on target. There are a lot of aspects ofEbay buying/selling, and I see a few others in the other comments. I have about 100 purchases and 100 sales on Ebay. I have onenegative, as a buyer, that was completely undeserved. The seller sentme a damaged item, refused to admit it was damaged going into the box,and as they had done with other buyers, left a retalitory feedbackafter I left a negative. I saw it coming before I left the negative,given the seller's history, but I "took one on the chin" for otherunsuspecting buyers. Eventually that seller stopped selling on Ebay,after enough buyers left negatives. I understand what you mean about slow payments, not to mention NPB,but I pretty much support the "no negatives for buyers" switch aftermy experience. I think they must have decided to handle NPB morevigilantly, and you know 2-3 weeks isn't the end of the world. Yes,if you do hundreds of transactions a week, keeping track of slowbidders isn't fun, but since I used to only accept checks/MO, 1-2weeks doesn't mean much to me. It is interesting what Bill found below - they have begun limitingwhat you can write in the comment relative to the rating you leave. Iadmit leaving "slow to pay" would be a nice option, which appears tono longer be possible. I'm glad Bill posted that, because I didn'tknow about that or the other new changes in this area. As far as feedback being mandatory, well, *not* leaving it is one waya trading partner has to let the other know they could do better nexttime. I have done that when I didn't want to leave a negative. They must have looked at this carefully before making the changes, Ithink. Given the number of transactions they have on any given day,I'm sure they didn't do it lightly. I have to admit, all the changesthat have taken place make it difficult for me to keep track, as mytrading has slowed. This is good letter. As I said, I think they thought pretty carefullyabout the change, but giving feedback will help them understand how itaffects the user.
I, too, use Ebay. Feedback is important to us sellers. I had one badbuyer, what a story! She left neg. fb. I have not left any for heryet, but I do intend to leave a positive with this notation: feedbackmeaningless, blocked bidder. For those of us that check a sellersfeedback left for others, it will be seen for a while. Hence raisingthe flag. Any user interested can email you and ask what happened. You can also reply to feedback left. Note that you will be able toaccept paper payments if your buyer insists. Sellers cannot solicitpaper payment. Paypal also collects a fee for shipping charges, whichis factored in with its other fees. Europe paypal now has bank status.Might be here soon in the US.
Lynn, I too am a regular eBay seller and I understand your concern with the"enhancements" to the Feedback System. My issue with eBay and recent changes is the mandate to use PayPal.Case in point this week I sold a christmas ornament for $ 71.00. Thefee to use PayPal was $ 2.57.

JOHANNESBURG: The Southern Kings have recalled an Argentine and French player from their touring squad in New Zealand as the South African Rugby Union investigates the Super 15 newcomers for breaking its rules on foreign players.
The Kings said Tomas Leonardi and Virgile Lancome will return to Port Elizabeth and be replaced by two South Africans for the four-game tour of Australasia.
Kings president Cheeky Watson also travelled to New Zealand to talk to the players after the team was threatened with a caution, fine, suspension or even expulsion by SARU in its debut Super Rugby season if found guilty of fielding too many foreigners in a game against the Chiefs last week.
But Super Rugby chief Greg Peters said on Twitter that SARU did not have the authority to suspend or expel the Kings, as that would affect the whole three-country tournament and only a South African rule had allegedly been broken.
It leaves the Kings facing a warning or fine of up to 1 million rand ($A105,000).
"That (the suspension or expulsion of the Kings) can only be done by us and it is not our rules that have allegedly been breached," Peters, the chief executive of Super 15 organiser SANZAR, tweeted.
Leonardi, fellow Argentine Nicolas Vergallo and New Zealander Hadleigh Parkes were in the Kings' matchday squad for the home loss to the Chiefs on Friday and all played some part in the game. South African teams are allowed only two foreign players per game, according to contracts they sign with the national union.
The Kings play seven-time Super Rugby champions the Crusaders - the competition's most successful team - on Saturday, while SARU chief executive Jurie Roux told South African media he hoped the investigation would be concluded next week.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- president Barack Obama's pick to be the next secretary of defense and that's former senator Chuck Hagel he came under heavy fire today.
During his confirmation hearings before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The Republicans held -- -- to the fire.
And they asked him a slew of tough questions about his past controversial comments including his -- -- -- positions watch less.
He said the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here I'm not an Israeli senator and the United States senator.
This pressure makes -- do dumb things at times.
You said the Jewish lobby should not have been.
That term should have been musician and some other terms.
Name one person in your opinion he's intimidated by the Israeli lobby in the United States and well first from enjoying.
I don't know what why would you say that I didn't.
I have in mind a specific -- do you agree it's a provocative statement that I can't think of the more provocative thing to say.
About the relationship between the United States and Israel and the senate -- the congress than what you -- it.
In his speech.
On the floor of the senate you referred to -- Israel's military campaign against the terrorist group Hezbollah.
As a quote sickening slaughter.
I would suggest the characterizations.
That do you think it's right that that Israel was committing a quote sickening slaughter as you said on the floor of the senate.
Well I think again I'd I would warrant.
Read all of that what I said.
First I've said many many times senator every nation has right to defend itself.
Andy do you think -- -- -- water would constitute a war crime.
And and you know we are depends on him they were attacked depends on.
Many factors.
Ouch now the Republicans -- not stop there Senator John McCain he also held Chuck Hagel accountable.
For not supporting the surge in Iraq watch this.
In -- -- -- 2011.
And -- in an interview with.
The Financial Times she said I disagreed with the President Obama.
His decision to surge in Iraq confess I did with President Bush -- -- surge in Iraq but do you stand by that.
Those those comments as.
Senator -- There were a senator I stand by me -- -- made him.
And that we -- We are correct in your assessment.
It would really I would defer the judgment of history to -- sort that out but our committee deserves your judgment as to whether you are right or wrong about the surge.
I'll explain why I've made those comments -- I wanted to know Adler right a wrong that's a direct question I expect a direct answer this surge.
I assisted here in the objective but but look if we review the record -- the W please answer the question will you correct or incorrect when you said.
That the search would be.
The most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam we are correct or incorrect might read or know.
My reference to this or Nancy might change under hagel.
The question is -- we -- right or wrong.
That's a pretty straightforward question and well I thought I would like to answer -- -- right or wrong and then you are free to elaborate.
Well I'm not going -- give you a a yes or no answer well a lot of -- show that today refused to answer that question.
This is a man the President Obama -- would be the best Defense Secretary pretty unbelievable joining me now to react to today's showdown on Capitol Hill syndicated columnist.
Yeah actually I want John you know what pat I was actually a goal -- -- were few moments there I thought I was watching -- cable news opinion show by the name -- crossfire.
Oh budget does that bring back memories for.
Well -- I did did this is.
I had to testify before the senate and Watergate Committee had brought that back to me Shawn did tell the truth but look I think -- it goes a good man he's a patriot.
He's got an independent mind I disagreed with him on this surge I supported it but I'll -- yeah I myself said that the Iraq War the invasion and occupation.
Of that country and killing thousands and thousands of people to deprive it of weapons it did not even have weapons of mass destruction that were not there.
I thought that was one of the greatest blunders in American -- -- his.
But that's the nation would have come on the through this year he said at a ran his government is -- who elected in legitimate.
His comment about let me know the Israeli lobby come -- pat.
Hard look.
We had an embassy and not -- Germany for eight years recognizing the government has legitimate.
What's it wicked and evil yes FDR recognized Stalin.
In the it is government in the middle of the wholesale Matthew really thank you Ukrainian people you really think that did this is a legitimate.
An elected government and -- unfortunate and -- Unfortunately it's legitimate I think they stole the last election.
In the United Nations yes you know his head should we talked to him yes we should.
To talk until that whether or not -- legitimate and elect is a different story.
Governor welcome back good to see again sir.
Thank you shot right.
Why the question I have is with all of these things on the table and all of these controversial positions.
Israel Jewish lobby he I don't think I've ever seen anyone get beaten up so bad and -- hearing.
Has Chuck Hagel did today.
Why did the president choose -- that's the question.
Well he chose them because senator hagel is a war hero and Vietnam veteran he served on the armed services committee.
He knows when I was in and and Washington he was -- go to guy on veterans issues he is a strategic thinker.
He knows President Obama well so we will have that access -- secretary of defense.
Look -- testified -- senator John Warner Republican.
Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi is form.
I think he's a very good pit direction he said hi Lisa let -- -- let's go through some of the things he said.
He said the United States must eventually eliminate nuclear weapons he said we must eliminate all nuclear weapons globally.
He said that the Israelis are are -- the Palestinians -- caged like caged animals.
On his comments on what.
Sean Ronald Reagan wanted to eliminate nuclear weapons would you disqualify him to the secretary to Ronald Reagan believed in peace through strength and Ronald Reagan had a very different.
Mentality than that man.
-- -- -- get real anti nuclear weapons he well he did but he also believe the strength the difference between him and Chuck Hagel chuck came on August compared to our military so it doesn't have the gap a vulnerability that Reagan fixed after Jimmy Carter became president.
But I shot what you have to look at is the record.
For twelve years Chuck Hagel had a very.
Pro Israeli voting record he.
Is somebody that is very committed.
To peace in the Middle East he knows the region.
He is strong on Israel.
On Iran he made that comment twelve years ago he said the you know all of us have 3030.
Years of public record of votes.
But I think you have to look at the context of -- him being nominated right now he's a Republican.
He's from Nebraska he's war hero from Nebraska and that her qualifications I love Nebraska but that's not a qualification it -- Salary arbitration.
I've had -- season has.
They're securely clear English tabloids got about an American but not just like you're just you -- a little bit they -- -- not.
I'm buying up from Patrick -- -- think about what a privilege.
-- he says he has.
Israelis the Palestinians are -- like animals his comments that he got burned badly by Lindsey Graham today look foolish.
And the same with Ted Cruz in the same -- John McCain he isn't he did not seem like you're equipped to answer a single question today -- What cannot look obviously he's -- political right now but would you not agree.
Even Israelis would agree that the condition of the Palestinian people now is not ideal that's why they -- -- two state solution.
There's real disagreement with how they're treated in Gaza what -- an American not -- the same good.
Actually at.
I'll thousands of rockets fired into the -- is -- -- rallies are helping them.
You've got to listen to the Israelis and help people came back.
Well all murders and we are becoming -- -- -- -- I'm -- true that -- -- that's determined using miserable.
All right Bill Richardson deal they -- to say -- can you at least acknowledge even the liberal media acknowledged this was a disaster tonight.
In terms of well -- hearing.
This is this is the role of the senate there are gonna ask very tough questions they have that right.
-- right it was not a good day for senator hagel but I believe he will be confirmed.
He should be confirmed.
And my hope is that the worst is over he is going to be a very good secretary good of defense I know the guy.
He's serious he's strategic.
He's a war hero he's he's normally he is the only toothpaste from the basket picks -- but I'm sorry I mean they have.
The sharp eyes and -- guy.
You know one guy that you know you don't want me you know -- Obama wants them I'll tell you -- because nothing better to cut our defenses at a time when the world was melting down and get a Republican to sign off on it it's a bad idea bad choice for sure I remember a pop.
The games themselves -- gone along wouldn't sequester which.
The president from that's just representative of what -- says.
He wants and pat let me tell you in this world of evil we mean nuclear weapons and for as far as the eye can see we're -- -- nuclear weapons.
I think we are but he's got the same vision that red nano one day hopefully we can get -- of -- and I I remember Ronald Reagan Ronald Reagan was a close friend -- yours he's not.
Reagan Bob -- -- and I guys get -- -- about.
They -- it isn't.

Forums >Cross Training>Taken out by a car, lessons learned
Sharing time...
Tuesday I got an ambulance ride to Mass General immobilized on a backboard courtesy of an unfit driver who is 88.5 years old. He ran a stop sign and presented his car to me as I was traveling over 25 mph. I hit it, flew over it, through the air 30+ feet before landing on my shoulders and head. My bike then landed on me. He very well could have hit me while running, driving, etc... Somehow I survived without life threatening injuries but I'm still waiting for the whole body pain to subside and see what works, what doesn't, and what lingers.
I didn't do anything wrong besides being in the wrong place at the wrong time but want to share three lessons in this:
1. It seems that everyone I talk to knows (or knew of) a loved one who drove longer then they should have so please take a hard and honest look at the elderly drivers in your life. Do what is necessary to make sure they are safe for themselves and everyone else. If they shouldn't be behind the wheel support them with any life changes necessary so they can stop driving and still lead an active life. In the future there will only be more and more elderly drivers so we'll as a society need to make adjustments. Let's start that now.
2. Helmets work. I'm living and surviving proof. My head hit the ground violently. My helmet shattered doing the job it was designed to do. Don't let your kids ride without them and always set a good example by wearing one yourself. What more can I say? It's that simple.
3. Hug your family. Hug your kids.
Here's my bike. It's totaled.
Holy cow!
Good message, xhristopher. Glad to hear you are seemingly okay. That sounds awful, I'm sorry you are having to go through that.
Yes, I do "run in this." So should you. The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.
Oh man, Chris, sorry to hear that. I'm glad to hear you're okay. Hopefully nothing surfaces as a long-term injury from this.
Your lessons learned are good reminders. Thanks.
Wow! I couldn't agree more with the points you made.
Glad you are doing reasonably ok!

As I've said before, I am really thankful you're here to tell this story with a mostly happy ending.
My grandpa definitely drove beyond when he should have and it's only by sheer luck that he didn't take himself or someone else out. There was no telling him he was unfit to drive, though. In hindsight my folks should have gotten his doctor involved. I wonder if HIPPA laws even allow for that, now?

Sorry about the accident, but glad to hear you're doing OK. The frame on your bike definitely doesn't look good.

Glad you are ok! Whew! Anything broke?
I met with a patient last week that was hit head on while riding her bike. A young kid (they think) cut a blind curve a bit sharp. He left the scene. She suffered severe fractures to both wrists because bumper hit her square on both wrists. She flew over hood and landed on her face/head breaking many bones in face and face road rash. She had some brain bleeding that stopped within 24 hrs and is ok. She never wears her helmet and that day her husband reminded her and she grabbed it. I second everything you said. Rest up and get back at it. Hope you recover quickly.
Those who try, fail! Those who do what it takes to succeed, succeed!!
Thanks all. I am serious bout that other stuff too.
I had lots of help, including a nurse, within a minute. I think someone put it back for me.
I took some shots of myself in the ambulance. I was wearing my bright green Boston jersey. Yeah, running attire on the bike. That's how I roll.

That is scary, glad you are ok. or going to be okay.

"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit. "No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way.""
I'm real sorry to hear that, X, that sounds scary as hell, I'm glad you are (hopefully) OK.
That's 2 of 3 out now. Looks like you need to stick to the pool now, man.
