Her special session was a legislative and public relations disaster, and now Gov. Kathleen Blanco's getting her feet held to the fire on the Road Home program. New Orleans Rep. Charmaine Marchand is so fed up with the slow pace of recovery checks that she briefly protested by camping out in a tent on the Capitol grounds. That led to a closed-door meeting between Blanco, representatives from embattled Road Home contractor ICF, Louisiana Recovery Authority leaders and ballistic legislators who are tired of hearing excuses about ICF's slow response time and questionable methods for awarding rebuilding grants. Rep. Tim Burns, a Mandeville Republican, described the meeting as "tense" and "soul-baring," and the clock is ticking for Blanco to either fire ICF or get the multiple problems with the Road Home program fixed ' quickly.

After targeting three health care professionals for allegedly administering lethal drugs during Katrina and battling the resulting controversy, the state GOP thinks Attorney General Charles Foti may be ripe for the picking in 2007. Chairman Roger Villere says the party is still in talks with two district attorneys: Doug Moreau of Baton Rouge and Buddy Caldwell, a veteran DA representing East Carroll, Madison and Tensas parishes. "There are also a couple of other big names, but we're not ready to put them out there," Villere says. Other statewide races are being approached in the same manner ' the more the merrier, until one contender is chosen. As for the legislative races, Villere says parish chairmen and members of the GOP's state central committee are shaking the bushes to recruit candidates. "This will be 10 times the effort that we saw four years ago," Villere says. "We plan on having someone in every race, which is something we haven't done in the past. We're going to be active up and down the ballot." ' Jeremy Alford
Wayne Carter, a Republican member of Baton Rouge's Metro Council, may be throwing his hat in the ring against mega-politico Bob Odom, Louisiana's agriculture commissioner. "There are some people urging me to do that," he says. "We'll make a decision in January." Carter, who also goes by "Spider," is president of Advanced Services, which buys and sells offshore drilling equipment. He's one of those rare south Louisiana Baptists, politically speaking, and he's a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association. Odom, who has suffered recent sugar-related defeats at the hands of Gov. Kathleen Blanco, still has as much sway ' and money ' as ever, but his public bribery charges could find him back in a courtroom in the near future. ' JA
It's all about the media buy, and all the major players in the 2007 gubernatorial contest are taking heed. The shifting model of modern Louisiana campaigns has television replacing exploratory committees, and Sen. Walter Boasso, a Republican from Arabi, went on the airwaves last week with ads for his "Get It Done Louisiana," a nonprofit group that addresses the needs of recovery. "We need an organization where people's voices can be heard, and this is just the place to do it," Boasso says. Rep. Bobby Jindal, a Metairie Republican, bought airtime all over the state during his election this fall ' not just in his district ' and even New Orleans businessman John Georges got a piece of the action in September when he personally appeared in television ads supporting the consolidated levee board initiative.

During the final hours of the recent congressional session, lawmakers managed to squeeze out a short waiver extending the life of a popular guaranteed loan program for Louisiana farmers that was set to expire at the end of the year. The federal government had offered no forewarning that the terms were in jeopardy, leaving many farms scrambling for 2007 capital. Congress came through, however, pushing the expiration date to Sept. 30, 2007. The date itself wasn't controversial; it was the fact that it was stuck in the Farm Bill, which has proven difficult to pass through both chambers with agreement. The Farm Service Agency loan program provides operating money to "several hundred" farms in Louisiana, according to Republican Rep. Charles Boustany. "This was a tremendous victory for farmers and ranchers in Louisiana," he says, although the bill is still awaiting President Bush's signature. The FSA helps farmers who cannot qualify for conventional loans because they have insufficient financial resources. It also helps established farmers who have suffered financial setbacks from natural disasters. ' JA

AUG 29 Everyone who cares about Louisiana should take time to peruse this story about coastal loss from Bob Marshall of The Lens. It's not enough to call it a story; it's an interactive experience packed with data and amazing graphics, timelines, history, photos and excellent writing. Set aside some time, because you can't go through this one in a few minutes.
JUN 29 This bizarre story from the Advocate on the shooting of a Baton Rouge television personality reads like the script of a soap opera - but not a good one. The allegations against him include sexual abuse of children, including the alleged shooter, and a sham immigration marriage involving his own daughter. The other side? He was a chaplin for the Sheriff's Office in Baton Rouge and preached in a local church.
AUG 29 Here's a story from CBS News about a killer amoeba found in the water system of St. John the Baptist Parish. The story made all three networks (CBS, ABC, NBC) as well as Fox "News," although they have not yet found out how it is Obama's fault. Seriously, the good news is that so far officials know of no one sickened by the water.
AUG 29 Huffington Post has a blog called Love Letters, which is grandly described as "an anthology of reflections on places the world over." This entry is from LSU Football Coach Les Miles, who, it appears, loves Baton Rouge. (Of course he does; he's a rich straight white man.) And certainly Baton Rouge loves him - unless he loses (ask Curley "Golden Flake" Hallman about that) or leaves (ask Nick Saban).
AUG 29 Blogger Bob Mann comments here upon Governor Bobby Jindal's federal lawsuit about Common Core. Mann calls it a "thinly veiled campaign document" and that might be the nicest thing he says in this post. Most troubling for Jindal and his aspirations, Mann has unearthed what Bobby said just a few years ago when he first decided to shove Common Core down our throats.
AUG 29 Blogger Tom Aswell has several developments here related to the so-called Edmonson amendment. The most entertaining one is possibly Tom's acknowledgement that a State Police official is (allegedly) calling the bloggers covering the story some colorful names. Listen up, cowboy: You really think two veterans like Tom Aswell and CB Forgotston care if you call them idiots?
AUG 29 Gotta love those journalists who write something with the enthusiasm that implies they're the first one to figure something out. Mostly, they're not. This is one of those times; the post on Slate Magazine says that Bobby Jindal's Common Core lawsuit is a political stunt. Well - Duh.
AUG 29 This story by WVLA tells us about a guy who got busted for speeding in Baton Rouge. Who cares? This guy took that infraction to new heights by going 129 miles per hour on Nicholson Drive. Poor fella - he probably has spent so much time sitting in Baton Rouge traffic he just had to cut lose.
AUG 28 As the controversy surrounding the Office of Group Benefits intensifies, blogger Tom Aswell gives us some background on the current problems. The OGB, which handles health insurance for current and retired state employees, is deep in the red since it was privatized by Jindal, and Aswell gives us the skinny: this great plan was designed by ALEC. The company handling it? Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana - a longtime member of ALEC.
AUG 28 Blogger CB Forgotston has a concept for a new reality show: the wives of the "Dork Dynasty." That's the name that some troopers have given to State Police Commander Mike Edmonson and his inner circle. The ladies CB has picked for his cast are not just housewives, however, and the connections here are pretty interesting.
AUG 28 Blogger Ian McGibboney is writing about the strife in Ferguson in this post, and articulating what many people down south are saying. There's a fairy tale about how there's tons of racism in the South, but it's all hunky dory up North. (Really? Look again.)

Hello All.
I have a co-worker with TINY hands and she owns a model 32 in .357 Sig. She has found out the hard way that they are expensive to shoot and hard to find. I suggested a .40 or 9mm conversion barrel and magazine change for the 9mm, but have a couple of questions.
1. What Glock model is the 9mm equal to the 32? This would give her the correct magazines, and maybe a barrel to drop in.
2. When comparing recoil, is the .40 much different than the .357 sig? I've suggested the 9mm over the .40 for cost and also easy access to supply, but she originally preferred the .40 S&W.
3. I have read about extractor issues between calibers. Is this something to be concerned about?
Thank you in advance for your help and assistance. My only experience with a Glock was a model 22 that cut my finger every time I pulled the trigger.

ATL Auto Racing Team eyes record
ATL Automotive Racing Team is all revved up for this weekend's Heroes of Speed Meet at the Dover Raceway in St Ann.
Driver Natasha 'Chiney Dolly' Chang, who claimed two second-place trophies in last July's meet, is brimming with confidence.
"I was very happy with my previous performance as I did not expect to come so close to the meet record. My goal was to clock 1:29:00 seconds and I beat that. So I'm excited about this one," she said.
Having made further upgrades to the her 1995 Honda Civic, Raj Jadusingh, chief engineer, believes the car is in record-ready form for the MP1 (Modified Production Class 1) category.
"We tested the car a few days ago and we believe the record is achievable. At the last meet in July, Natasha came very close to the record clocking 1:28:20 seconds, just two tenths of a second outside the 1:28:20 meet record," he said.
Mr Jadusingh said this time around he is even more comfortable with the car.
"I am very pleased with the power of the car. Since the last meet in August, we have undertaken some work on the rear diffuser, improved the design of the front splitter and installed a fuel spell to increase the safety and weight distribution. We have also widened the front rim to improve handling," he explained.
Chang is mindful of her competitors who have been upgrading their cars.
"I know they are going to come out hard and will not go down without a fight. But having gone through a practice session, I am very confident in myself and the car and believe we have a great chance of coming home with a first place and a record," she said.
Natasha said having placed second in the last two meets, the team wants to end the season on a high note with a win.
"Racing is one thing, but to finally be on the podium after all the hard work would definitely be a great feeling. I would be ecstatic," she added.
The ATL Automotive sponsored Honda Civic which was unveiled days before the July meet, is the first of its kind locally built and the most technically advanced for the MP1 category.

i seriously love this product! i have terrible under eye circles and this product is one of the few that i have tried that makes such a big difference! its pigmented and glides on easily and doesn't crease or settle into fine lines. definitely will re-purchase even though it is expensive

I adore this concealer! Yes I have a ton of concealers I have been loving but this one is just PERFECT!!!
I have medium brown dark circles and sometimes yellow toned concealers can make your under eyes look very ashy and gray looking, but I use this in light peach (nc25/27 for ref) and this baby covers with so little product needed under the eyes!
This corrector is definitely crazy expensive for the amount you get which sucks because MAC studio finish concealer costs less and you get a bunch of product in that one. However MAC studio finish is too dry for the under eyes where as this actually feels moisturizing for the under eyes which I absolutely love! Bobbi brown never fails in under eye concealer/corrector/brightener for me. LOVE YOU BOBBI! and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT! PLEASE TRY IT! YOU'LL LOVE!

bought this in light peach after watching one of michelle phan's tutorials on youtube. it is by far the best undereye concealer i have ever used. I know it's called a 'corrector', but after applying sunblock to my whole face i just use my concealer brush and apply it as i would an undereye concealer (after applying eye cream) then just apply silk naturals over the rest of my face and i'm good to go. before that i used skin food's salmon eye concealer, which was ok but still a bit too light for me, gave me the reverse panda look if i used even more than a teeny smudge. yeah it's much pricier than skinfood, but practically lasts forever so worth every penny.

I got this product from a swap and wanted to compare it with what I already own. I have this corrector in the shade Peach, I'm a NC40 and it's my perfect corrector shade to counteract blue dark circles. This is quite creamy, packaging is great with a little mirror for touch ups if needed and easy to clean with rubbing alcohool or a makeup sanitizer. BUT it settles into the fine lines no matter how little product I use and even when it's set with powder. For the price, I expected more of it. I'll stick to my favourite undereye concealer to date which is the Eve Pearl Salmon concealer - same great packaging, but it contains two shades than can be mixed together if needed to suit your skintone, is really creamy thus easy to use and apply, is long lasting and doesn't set into fine lines. It's been years I use EP Salmon concealer and I now know that it beats BB's one hands down.

I bought this at my CCO, tried it for a few weeks, and it just wasn't working for me so I tucked it away and never used it again. Until now. I recently pulled it out and I fell in love!
I have dark circles that look like someone gave me a black eye. I literally have the worst dark circles of anyone I've ever seen in my life. That being said, I typically need around 4 concealers just to get a remotely-looking concealed under eye. I think previously I was using way too much of this product. You only need a little bit. I then buff it in with my Beauty Blender and set with powder. I find that this does not crease when set with my MAC MSFN. In fact, on days when I'm in a rush and don't use my corrector I find that my other concealers crease more! Anyway, I think I can now never live without this product. It is finally something that actually brightens my under eye area and diminishes the appearance of huge black rings around my eyes. Typically I use my Garnier concealer eye roller, this corrector, and my Becca dual compact concealer, set it with MSFN, and am good to go for the whole day. Definitely reccomend this! For reference, I use the shade peach when I am NC40 and right now, at NC25, I am using the shade light peach.

I have this in light bisque, I bought it because of the rave reviews here at makeupalley. I have a small spot of pigment near my mouth that nothing will conceal, but Bobbi Brown is doing the trick. As long as I add a translucent powder over it, it sets and lasts and it really does make that spot blend in with the rest of my face. It's not perfect, but it's probably the best I'm going to get. I've tried everything and this corrector is the best I've found.
I use a small brush to apply, have to kind of build a layer over the spot, then set with the translucent powder (also Bobbi Brown - fabulous powder too). Should note that this corrector needs a very clean skin area. Any dry skin or unabsorbed sunscreen, moisturizer, primer will make the corrector cakey and it will not set properly.
I know Bobby Brown is known for her makeup, but this product SUCKS! I bought it and used it, and I was disappointed. What bothered me the most is that when I applied it, it showed every crease under my eyes! I tried it using primer, moisturizer, but none worked. It was pricy and I took it back and bought Boi ing from Benefit instead. I respect Bobby Brown, but this product has inspired me to never purchase a thing from her line again.

I bought this in Peach (I have BB 3.5-4, olive skin tone). I was really debating on whether to get this in Light Peach or Peach, since they don't make a Light-Medium Peach.
I really like the Peach. I may buy the Light Peach at some point, but I felt this brightened my under eye area and made it perfect for concealer or foundation. I'm not sure if it's something that I would be able to use without concealer or foundation on top, but it does correct my dark circles well.
The consistency is nice; you only need to tap it once and you have enough product for your whole under-eye area. It's not sticky/greasy like BB's concealer. In fact I can skip the concealer and just put foundation on top and it would look good.
I would say this is definitely worth a try/experiment. I don't know if this is the HG for my under eye area, but until I find something else that I like better, I'm going to go with this.

I have dark (genetic) circles that I've been concealing as long as I can remember. Now that I'm in my mid 30's I also have the added challenges of finding a concealer that will cover completely and not dry out my under eye area or accentuate any flakes or any tiny fine lines that might be there. On the other hand, ones that accomplish this can be too moisturizing, thus creasing or wearing away during the day. It's hard to find a balance. I've tried numerous concealers over the years and the two that work the best for me have been Laura Mercier Secret Concealer or Lancôme Effacernes (both over my eye cream). I'm a huge Laura Mercier fan and have never been too thrilled with Bobbi Brown products in general.
I decided to finally try the BB corrector/concealer combo a couple of weeks ago. I think what made me do it was realizing my Lancôme shade was a bit too light (based on a photo) and my LM was too drying for this time of year. So I bit the bullet, skeptical as to whether I would like it at all. I halfway expected to try it, dislike it, and end up returning it.
I'm normally MAC NC25 / NC30, NARS Fiji, LM Sunny Beige. I wear Light Peach for the corrector and Beige in the concealer. I questioned the need for a corrector. But it does help neutralize so that the concealer can cover without showing any darkness through it.
I pat some of the corrector onto my inner corner and under eye area. I concentrate on the part under the inner part of the eye but also dab it under the entire undereye area to the outside corner so everything is blended nicely. Then I either lightly pat it in to blend with my finger or Sephora's airbrush concealer brush. I never ever rub. Then I do some other things for a bit so it can settle. Note that it's very moisturizing and may crease a tiny bit directly under the eye during this time. If so, just barely tap to pat out the crease with your fingertip. The tiny crease will disappear...the corrector will not rub off. Next, I lightly pat on the concealer in the same areas then pat it out with my fingertip or the brush to blend...same process. Next I top with LM's brightening powder, using Real Technique's setting brush. I lightly pat the powder on with the brush. Then I'm finished. The result it lovely.
This is it. I've found my perfect undereye concealer. It covers completely yet blends in beautifully. It moisturizes yet lasts all day without creasing. I swear I look younger. I've actually had compliments since I've started using it. I look refreshed. When topped with LM's secret brightening powder to set, the effect is perfect. I'm sorry I didn't try her concealer years ago. If anyone has super dark circles and won't go in public without concealer under your eyes, please give this a try.

I use the Bobbi Brown Corrector to conceal my under-eye circles. I fine it does a great job by itself thanks to its peachy tone. One thing I don't like about this product is its dryness, well, to me personally. I find it's a bit too dry for the under-eye area, where the skin is very delicate. I don't use the mirror that comes with it and I find it useless. Also, the price - expensive.
BUT, I do like this and can't have 1 day without using it. It's great and everyone can find their own color match, thanks to the nice color selection.

Unless your "collection" is an investment, this is a sucker's game.
Stunning! Just wish it came in a 2S model.
$100,000 car; $1,000 couch.
Uh, no.
How much?
I would remove the "Carrera" decals ASAP. And then I would add an RS wing. And then some BBS LM's.
P1 is hands down my favourite of the new breed of supercar. Makes it very easy to forget about Pagani, Koenigsegg, etc. And who even cares about the LaFerrari or 918 after seeing reviews of this...
Thanks, BMW, but no thanks. I'll take the S-Coupe.
Anyone else grab a pair?
Shame it doesn't come in a 2S variant.
Seems like a shame to buy this car in anything other than a 6MT (and trust me when I say I'm not a manual fanboi - not even close).
Wasn't interested in this thing but it seems like every review does nothing but sing its praises. Curious to check one out. I can't for the life of me get into the styling of the 4-series.
DCT. The car was designed with this transmission in mind, and my what a fantastic transmission it is.
That said, I'd love to give a 6MT F10 a whirl.
By people whom have never driven one.
I have.
Nearly 1,000 miles.
The best car I've ever driven.
Logged thousands of miles on an E46. Great car in its day but not something I would go near today. Simply too expensive to maintain (tires, brakes, etc.. nothing is cheap with these things).
There's a "few" in North Van? Right.
No soul at all
On a sidenote, I always laugh at these threads where groupthink is in full-force and everyone is...
I've logged thousands of miles on an E46 M3. Currently driving an F10 M5. I'm more than qualified to make a statement on either car.
I will concede, however, that I've never driven a 6MT E46 M3....
I wouldn't touch anything other than a 1 owner car. These cars are not cheap to maintain (routine or otherwise) and I suspect the vast majority of them have been neglected by their 21 year old...
I'm pretty sure I'm driving a 2013 M5 right now and I still enjoy getting behind the wheel of my friend's 230 Coupe.
I have no problem calling a spade a spade. My mom had an ML from that...

On the substitutability between foreign aid and international credit
AbstractWe examine the effect of relaxing a binding borrowing constraint for a recipient country on theamount of foreign aid it receives. We do so by developing a two-country, two-period trade-theoretic model. The relaxation of the borrowing constraint reduces the flow of foreign aid, suggesting that the donor views developing nations' access to international credit markets as a substitute for foreign aid.

The art of the DREAM Act movement
Art courtesy of Julio Salgado
Libertad, the heroine of Julio Salgado's "Liberty for All" comic strip
ColorLines has posted a collection of art inspired by the DREAM Act, the proposed legislation pending a vote in Congress that would allow qualifying college students and military recruits who are undocumented to obtain conditional legal status.
While various versions of the bill have been circulating for nearly a decade, the DREAM Act's latest round through the legislative system has inspired a full-blown student movement. College students, many of them undocumented, have staged rallies, sit-ins, hunger strikes and caravans to the nation's capital. Several have come out publicly about their status to make a statement, including prominent student leaders. And the movement, in turn, has inspired art in the form of posters, fliers, even an comic strip.
In September, shortly before a defense bill that carried the DREAM Act was voted down in the Senate, I interviewed cartoonist Julio Salgado, an undocumented twentysomething Cal State Long Beach journalism student. Salgado's online comic strip, "Liberty for All," follows the story of a young woman who arrived with her family illegally as a child, has finished college, but can't get a regular job because of her status. The comic has become popular with college students pushing for the legislation.
In the news this morning: DREAM Act updates, Tequila Party, a New Mexico hate crime, more
15 charged over immigration protest in San Antonio - Houston Chronicle The arrests took place during a demonstration by supporters of the DREAM Act, proposed federal legislation that would provide access to legalization for undocumented youths who go to college or join the military.
'Tequila Party' proposal gains international attention - Nevada Wonk - Las Vegas Sun Until recently just something that was being quietly debated, the idea of a "Tequila Party" coalition of pro-immigration reform Latinos is out of the bag after extensive news coverage.
ACLU names Hector Villagra to replace Ramona Ripston as Southern California director - 89.3 KPCC Villagra, 42, is the son of immigrants from Argentina and Cuba. Among other things, he spent spent time as a staff attorney for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Project.

A sign outside a DREAM Act rally in Los Angeles last summer.
In recent weeks I've posted several stories and updates related to the DREAM Act, a bill that would allow a path to legal status for undocumented young people who attend college or enlist in the military. A House vote is expected soon, possibly later this week.
Part of the reason that the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which has been introduced and failed several times over the course of nearly a decade, is getting so much attention this time is because of unprecedented activism among the very undocumented students it would benefit.
During previous DREAM Act vote cycles, the bulk of these youths remained in the shadows. But since the bill was introduced again last year, a growing number of students who have been here illegally since they were children have been coming out publicly about their immigration status to make a statement in support of the bill, attaching their names and faces to it, and generating publicity. Some have risked arrest and deportation by participating in rallies and sit-ins; others have stuck their necks out as well-known student leaders.
A DREAM Act vote is coming, but when?

Student protesters at a DREAM Act "die-in" in downtown Los Angeles, November 17, 2010
Speculation that the U.S. House of Representatives might take up the DREAM Act early this week - even as early as today, as some outlets had reported - turned out to be a bit premature.
The earliest date now being discussed for a possible House vote on the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors (DREAM) Act is this coming Thursday, said Frank Sharry, executive director of the Washington, D.C. immigration advocacy group America's Voice, which has been following the proposed legislation closely.
It's also likely that a House vote could take longer, Sharry said in a phone interview today. A blurb two weeks ago on CapitolWirePR cited New York Democratic Rep. Nydia Velasquez as saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had announced a tentative vote date of Nov. 29.
That date was a misquote, Sharry said. However, the hope of advocates is still that the House will vote on the measure first, he said, as this could help pave the way for success in the Senate. While there still no set date for a Senate vote, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has promised to take up the measure in the lame duck session. The DREAM Act would provide access to legal status for qualifying young people who attend college or enlist in the military.
Shots, anyone? Latino Dems ponder a Tequila Party
Photo by Sheep "R" Us/Flickr (Creative Commons)
All kinds of Cuervo, October 2008
Some disgruntled Latino political leaders are "quietly debating whether to sever their traditional Democratic ties and form an independent grass-roots political group," the Las Vegas Sun reports. Its proposed name: the Tequila Party.
From the story:
The idea, born of frustration over the party's inaction on immigration reform and fears that as a voting bloc they're a political afterthought, Latino leaders have discussed the idea among themselves locally and in conference calls with colleagues across the country.
The unlikely model for the movement they would like to launch is the Tea Party — not in substance, of course, but in its grass-roots organizational style. Acknowledging the source of their inspiration, Latino leaders have dubbed the proposed movement the "Tequila Party."
These Hispanic leaders have noticed that while the Tea Party has had spotty electoral success, it has called attention to its concerns and values and put the establishment on notice.

After 11 years, eBay made the first significant change to its feedback system with the announcement of Feedback 2.0. In addition to the standard positive, neutral and negative ratings, Feedback 2.0 will also provide four additional categories (Item as described, Communication, Shipping time and Shipping and Handling charges) which buyers can individually rate sellers on, out of 5 stars, called Detailed Seller Ratings (DSRs). According to eBay, the DSRs do not affect a seller's overall feedback score, but are there for reference. "We expect buyers to purchase from sellers who have high stars on the dimensions most important to them," said Brian Burke, Senior Manager, Global Policy Management for eBay. Other changes include the addition of the item title and selling price under each feedback entry on a seller's feedback page. Previously, only the feedback comment along with the feedback rating and item number were included. eBay plans to roll out Feedback 2.0 in Australia, Belgium, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom within the next few days. Feedback 2.0 will be launched in the United States this spring.

In addition to what was mentioned already, I strongly believe that eBay members should have a buyer profile that is completely separate from his seller profile. Because buying and selling activities are quite different creatures, the feedback from each should be tracked independently. This would also enable a buyer to leave feedback safely as he sees fit without affecting his seller reputation.
Monopolies are slow to change.
Ebay is a other world once you start to sell stuff. You are a fool if you think a seller should give feedback 1st. I never do that dumb stuff, why? Cause buyers DO NOT READ. I have sold to over 400 people on eBay and I can tell you that over 70% of all items I sold, the buyer only looked at the item title and the photo. People act like eBay is Wal-mart and you can return and or get a refund for any reason. Regardless of how a transaction goes you can leave a positive, neutral or negative.
I got a negative because the item was lost in the mail and you HAVE to wait 21 days before you can file a claim with the post office. Now what did I do wrong?
I got a negative because the mp3 player I sold the buyer did not work in Windows 98.
Now what did I do wrong?
That is a good point, as a seller I usually leave positive feedback once I ship the item and it was fully paid for, but lately I'm seeing a trend where feedback is not left for me by the buyer, also I hated it when Sellers always left it up too me to leave feedback first, this is a double edge sword scenerio, if I were to leave a seller negative feedback or neutral the seller in turn can do the same for me, even though I most likely read the auction thoroughly before bidding and pay for it almost instantly after it ends since I only snipe auctions or buy it now.
I had one issue where a seller sold me a different model of an item I purchased, I contacted him etc.. he said return item he provided me with a shipping label, once it was verified in the mail, he sent me a repalcement which was the exact same model of the first piece and not what was listed on the Auction , I left him negative feedback for ripping me off, he then leaves neg feedback saying I'm the scammer.
Eventually everything got resolved and we "mutally" withdrew the negative feedback, since he was a power seller and couldn't afford any more negative feedback.
"Cause buyers DO NOT READ. I have sold to over 400 people on eBay and I can tell you that over 70% of all items I sold, the buyer only looked at the item title and the photo." ... even though i never had a issue like this i think im going to agree with you since most of the public is dumb or dont througly read stuff... me personally, i always read the details (basically shipping costs and item description etc) this way i KNOW what everything is so theres no screwing around.
"People act like eBay is Wal-mart and you can return and or get a refund for any reason. Regardless of how a transaction goes you can leave a positive, neutral or negative." .... what a damn shame, but the sad thing is i believe you lol
"I got a negative because the mp3 player I sold the buyer did not work in Windows 98." ... this is 100percent the buyers fault here as "THEY" should have checked this stuff before buying it! (especially if you listed system requirements on the page, then it's definitely there fault) ... so in other words i agree with you here to.
"I had one issue where a seller sold me a different model of an item I purchased, I contacted him etc.. he said return item he provided me with a shipping label, once it was verified in the mail, he sent me a repalcement which was the exact same model of the first piece and not what was listed on the Auction , I left him negative feedback for ripping me off, he then leaves neg feedback saying I'm the scammer." ..... people like this should not even be allowed to use ebay! (in other words i agree with you) ... especially if there knowingly shafting people which it sounds like this guy was.
after these comments this is more of a reason to avoid ebay in general .... thanks for the tips lol
another reason i generally dont use ebay is cause by the time the auction ends on a good percentage of items.... you would just be better off going to the local store and just straight up buying it eliminating the hassle of using ebay to being with (generally speaking about electronics etc) ... cause for me to use ebay over a regular online store for electronic stuff like pc related stuff etc im going to have to get a pretty good deal OUT THE DOOR PRICE... otherwise i would rather just goto a standard online website and buy it straight up from a well known place.... cause if a item costs like 40 dollars brand new in the local store etc and on ebay it costs like 30-35 (out the door) i would probably just goto the local store to get that particular item... only way i would probably use ebay if a item was 40 in a local store... i would probably have to get it for 25tops out the door price to use ebay.... otherwise it just aint worth the risk of using ebay if you ask me.
this is also a reason why selling stuff can be good on ebay at times cause you got alot of dumb people (so they pay more than usual for the item) lol... so from a sellers standpoint that can be a good thing but it can also be a bad thing cause usually the stupid people are the ones your going to run into trouble with since there to stupid to read details etc of the action ... so i guess it's a 50/50 sorta thing ... me personally i never sell stuff though i just buy stuff and i only have about 5-6 feedback with 100percent rating... 3 of those users are no longer registered ebay users though now.
Your feedback is your reputation, your standing in the community. Most people think feedback is a definitive source of 100% accurate and honest statements, eBay encourages you to engage in transactions with sellers/buyers with reputable feedback and a higher rating. The problem is that the feedback system is neither controled nor moderated. eBay does not get involved in anyway to ascertain the facts or mediate. They should do more to protect both buyer and seller.
They are a monopoly, they gouge the market with those ridiculous and absurd surcharges that are always going up. They offer no real customer service and this new 2.0 system is a joke. We need real solutions to the ongoing problem of feedback retaliation, feedback extortion, feedback intimidation, etc. eBay "discourages" these practices but it's their policy not to take action. They are absolutely horrible.
Thank you.
i would have to say that your pretty much right there.
although i do think atleast the 2.0 system is a "little" better even though it's far from perfect, as your idea would be MUCH better
I had someone leave me a comment when I was a member.
I purchased 3 items and of course the postage was cheaper.
They sent me a message saying they want more postage, they refused to send the items and I won my case.
I put as neutral on feedback explaining why I was not happy, nothing nasty just the facts.
The idot then gave me -ve feedback and left nasty comments.
Could I get it removed, NO NO NO NO.
Thats what they have to sort out.
I purchased and sold 52 items had no -ve feedback apart from that moron.
Can't be bothered with eBay anymore.
It needs major reworking. I rarely sell on eBay, in 2006 I sold three items and before that it was 2003. I shipped on time, as described, I charged $16 for shipping when the actual cost was $14.71 and everything was solid. The buyer paid me for the item, but after she got it the next day, someone had the same item for cheaper buy it now. She requested a refund of the difference, I of course politely said I was unable to do so and that's the risk of eBay. Sometimes you will find something cheaper or more expensive. Needless to say, she left me a negative "Seller overcharged me 4 item, price gouger! Rude." This was incorrect information, and eBay can't do a thing. I've been on eBay since January 1999, over 400 100% perfect feedbacks and now I am RUINED!!
Sorry to sound so dramatic, this all just happened last week and I am still very upset. I had a perfect record for 8 years and now some rude person just ruined my records. Very upset. However out of retaliation, I did leave her a negative - and thank goodness I never left upon getting payment. People like her make you worried.
Anyway it's just a shame. Sorry for ranting, but I feel better having done so lol.
damn! i 100percent agree with you on your statement if that makes you feel any better ... cant u leave a comment to her comment to you saying that? ... if u can im sure people will understand what went on.
cause your 100percent right... "it is the risk of using ebay" ... it aint like it's a retail store!... plus she actually "bid" on the damn item so she obviously was willing to pay that price... if she was not then obviously she would have not bid it.
cause what you charged her is perfectly reasonable especially on shipping ;)
dont let it bother you to much though as with your rep ... 1 negative aint going to hurt you "THAT MUCH"
Thank you ThaCrip. I did leave her a negative out of retaliation (unfortunately). I did reply to her feedback and explain as best I could within those few characters my position on the matter. I'm still soured that after eight years, my record is tarnished. On the brighter side, I feel kinda liberated about it. Now I don't have to be so uptight, so paranoid and so willing to placate people just to avoid a neg. Not that I want more, but since it's not perfect anymore, I feel more relaxed about getting a second. Going forward, I won't tolerate late shipments, shipping overcharging, rude buyers/sellers. Out of my 400, around 20 earned a neg but for fear of retaliation, I just didnt chance it. Now when they've earned a neg, I will leave. So I guess it's a good thing too. However still not happy but what can you do? lol
It was more of the principal that any idiot could come ruin your perfect record in an instant. I'm kinda over it now though, that above post I did was probably what I needed to get it out and then move on from it. Thanks for hearing me out!
your right it's like we cant really do jack about it... although atleast theres some good that came out of this ;)
and i figure if you could explain pretty much what you said in your first post on ebay (like you said you tried to do) im sure most people will be able to see what happened and realize she is at fault ... but then again they dont let you type much lol... so i guess most people probably cant get the full story cause of that.
atleast from now on your going to give a honest opinion about someone when buying/selling on ebay.
p.s. like i said before i dont use ebay often myself but when i did i so far had 0 problems.... all the people i bought stuff from where generally pretty friendly and communicated well etc.
have a good one
you can reply to her feedback and negotiate for her to withdraw it, which will restore your reputation
P.S. as a big ebay buyer, 99% and 100% feedback doesnt make much of a difference to me so dont worry too much. There are always people that stupidly leave negative feedback.
IF I was buying from you now I'd look and see that negative and as soon as it said "overcharged" I'd shrug and buy the item. I mean hell those kinds of comments are quite dumb as its not like you force people to pay what they do on ebay. Im only concerned about negatives if its for items not arriving, arriving broken or whatever. If someone feels they payed too much what do I care eh.
In any event your in a position to have both of your negatives revoked if your willing to approach her.
About time! There feedback system has needed a serious rework.
There have been a few occasions that have warranted me (as a buyer) to leave negative feedback for a seller. I did that once and the seller came back and threatened me. They said they would hate to ruin my 100% positive feedback score just because I gave them a negative. I withdrew my comment very reluctantly. Sellers should never have this power. Feedback means almost nothing when the seller can bully a good buyer into giving him good feedback.
I don't know how to rework their feedback system but it needs adjustments badly. This appears to be a step in the right direction.
what you should have did was said screw them... if u honestly felt they deserved the negative feedback... i would have left negative feedback and when they threatened to leave negative for you i would have told them to go for it.... and when they did leave bad feedback i would have left a comment as to why they where wrong... as im sure most "smart" buyers will easily tell your not lying and be able to distinguish who's telling the truth ... cause if you payed em promptly within say about 12 hours of end of auction (me personally i pay right after auction ends through paypal) using paypal and they came back and left negative feedback for you even though u did this i would clearly state it in the reply to your feedback .... cause to me if someone has a great rep and only a few negatives i generally dont worry about the negatives especially if they seem like the negatives where nitpicking etc.
i never left negative feedback for someone before as i dont use ebay that often but out of the times i have everything went perfect pretty much.
me personally though i would not leave negative feedback for someone unless they really deserved it... like if item's description was quite a bit off from what it was supposed to be or they screwed around and took a while to ship the item's or did not respond to my messages for quite a while etc.
uh previously, it was just positive or negative before.
and neutral
thats an awesome idea! im so sick of seeing a few negative feedbacks in someone who has 30,000 feedback, trying to find that negative, and it's usually for something so dumb like, shipping was late.
good addition eBay!
Well hopefully it'll be retroactive, otherwise those high ratings will remain as semi-useless as they are. A nice few people have high rating and sell counterfeit items.
edit: Just saw the screenshot, I'm going to LOVE the shipping and handling charges part, especially when I say get an item and see the actual cost of shipping on the item being 5 times less than what the seller actually charged, this might turn the tides on Ebay a little.
i totally agree with you on shipping and handling charges part! ... cause alot of the times people make that SKY HIGH to guarantee they make out big time... those people that do this im going to leave a very low feedback for shipping prices.
cause alot of items i see pretty much make it so it aint worth buying cause of this.... if someone makes a "fair" price for shipping and handling ill give them great praise.
cause the bottom line is most item's on there that aint super huge/weight alot should never be over 20 dollars TOPS (probably closer to 10-15 dollars) for a item's shipping and handling charges.... and for real light items maybe 5 dollars tops.... cause i could understand a "small" profit from shipping just to make sure they dont short themselfs when shipping a item out... but anything ridiculous in profit from shipping is getting low marks from me.
What about people like me who have to catch a £4.50 bus to get to my nearest post office to do special delivery for people. The box to put stuff in could be another £1 and bubble wrapped for piece of mind for £0.50. Thats a genuine £11 postage charge for an item that is fragile weighing over 100 grams! (and less than 500g)
Fair arguement Micky but I'd probably argue the buyer shouldnt be the one forking out for someone elses bus trip.
It's easy enough to customize your display in eBay to show the shipping charges for items, although I do wish that those would be included when sorting by price. Too many people get away with charging 99 cents for an item but charging $20 for shipping. Technically that is against eBay regulations (it's fee circumvention), but it's really hard to get eBay to actually do anything about sellers who do this on a regular basis.
They must introduce a system where seller have to leave feedback first before buyer can leave feedback.
Or a system where the feedback is not shown until both have left feedback for each other or the feedback period has run out.
The sellers should be required to leave feedback immediately after the auction has closed and they have been paid. I, as a buyer, NEVER leave positive feedback if the seller doesn't first leave me feedback. If there is something that warrants Negative feedback, nothing preempts it.
i would have to agree with this comment... as i always had feedback left for me although im sure it happens like you say it does from time to time where people just dont care once they got all "they" need :(
although it's nice they have extra stuff on ebay now reguardless
Cool. It looks all right.

PEORIA, Ill. -- About two out of every 100 Americans are living with an artificial joint, in part because of baby boomers in need of new knees and hips.
Doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota say more than 7 million Americans are now living with an artificial joint.
These patients could require ongoing care and some are likely to need additional surgeries.
Experts predict the number of total joint replacement surgeries will continue to rise along with the aging baby boomer population.

The Veterans Administration was described Tuesday by Pinellas patients as very big, with bureaucratic barriers, but good health care.
Consider the case of Army veteran Roger Clements, a diabetic "in the system" since 2001.
"The doctors are wonderful, absolutely wonderful," Clements told FOX 13 News. Yet he has been trying to get special medically-prescribed footwear since October.
"I have orders showing where the medical doctor ordered the shoes, and they should have never been denied by a clerk in Prosthetics," he complained.
Clements was among more than 100 military veterans responding to an "intake" organized by U.S. Representative David Jolly. He wanted to hear the stories firsthand, while offering liaisons with a variety of veterans service agencies.
Jolly acknowledged the praise.
"One of the things we've learned today is that the VA care at Bay Pines and [James A.] Haley is excellent; the employees there are great," Jolly said. "We have had folks come here just to defend the VA."
The congressman then pointed out the VA budget has nearly doubled the past decade, while the patient load has risen 16 percent.
"With as much money that has been put into the VA, it doesn't make sense why there's such a waitlist in some areas and it doesn't make sense why we're hearing so many concerns," he continued.
Navy veteran Merrick Charley said his issue spans more than 20 years, through several federal administrations.
"My thought on the matter is that we should not get into any more conflicts until we have fixed the problem of helping people that we send into harm's way," Charley said.
His claim for service-related disability pay has been denied, and he's been told his appeal could take two to four years.
"The last time it took 665 days for them to adjudicate my claim. I've now started that process over again" he complained.
Congressman Jolly already has some thoughts on what has become a national priority.
"Our long-term reform on the VA needs to center on the fact that veterans deserve choice," Jolly added. "If a veteran wants to go outside the system, we need to make it easier for that veteran to go outside the system to get more timely care."

A man suffered minor burns while escaping a fire in his Windsor home early Monday morning.
Windsor firefighters were called to the two-storey rental property, located behind a duplex on the corner of Albert Street and Wiley Avenue, at about 4:25 a.m.
The fire was already raging when the first crews arrived, Chief Scott Burgess said. They hosed down a 13-unit apartment house about eight metres away and got all the residents out as a precaution.
It was a resident of that building who called 911.
The home is about three metres from the duplex, which was damaged. The fire reached through the exterior wall and also into the attic, spreading about a metre before crews were able to extinguish it.
"We had two structure fires on the go at the same time," Burgess said. Hantsport and Brooklyn firefighters were called in to help.
No one is living in the duplex, which is being renovated.
Those renovations helped slow the spread of the fire, Burgess said. Like many older buildings, the duplex is balloon-frame construction. That means the space between the interior and exterior walls is open from the basement to the attic and fire can spread rapidly.
"They fibreglass-insulated the balloon frame and there was fresh (drywall), so I think that was something that slowed it down," Burgess said. "That was a saving grace."
There was no damage to the apartment building.
But there was no stopping the flames as they consumed the home.
"It went quick," Burgess said. "It was venting through the roof when I got here."
Because the fire was so far advanced and the occupant was out, firefighters fought the blaze from the outside and concentrated on saving the two neighbouring buildings.
Wind was not a factor, Burgess said. There was only a light breeze and it was blowing away from the two neighbouring buildings.
George MacDonald, one of the tenants of the apartment building, said he was awoken by firefighters going door to door telling people they needed to get out.
Most residents went across the street to watch the firefighters' efforts.
"It was a scary fire. If we had any winds at all, this place would have gone up," he said on the front veranda of his building.
Another tenant, who didn't want to be named, said she thought she was dreaming when a neighbour banged on her door and said there was a fire next door.
She went outside to take a look.
"At that point, the flames just started shooting up the porch. It just took off and the other place caught on fire, and the trees caught on fire," she said.
"It was very scary. It was terrifying."
She said the windows in a third-floor apartment cracked from the heat.
The man who was burned out has children but they weren't in the home Sunday night. Burgess has called the Red Cross to provide assistance.
The fire marshal's office is helping with the investigation. Burgess said he's not sure if there were working smoke detectors in the home, or if the fire started inside or outside the structure.

On Best of Me, Budo's pensive piano production (created entirely using the Maschine "studio-in-a-box") bumps in the background as the freestyle series alum resolves to soldier on in the wake of a failed relationship. Like what you're hearing? There's plenty more where this came from on Together/Apart, released this past Tuesday via Rhymesayers.

text: Don't this beat all. I had to buy 100 when I needed 1 for a dog leg I got from Tom. He didn't have any others at the time and didn't want to sell the pair because 1 was missing a nut. I kept a half dozen and gave the rest to Tom in case some one needed some in the future. Well this guy is smarter than I am he is selling the extra andlooks as if he will recoup his investment and have some left over. I just got to learn better.
