International Information
(Costs, Delivery time & what to Expect)
What is the Normal Procedure of an International Shipment?
First you make your purchase thru PayPal. Currency is automatically converted and your purchase is packaged and shipped within 1-business day. Next, the package reaches your countries Customs Dept. (3-5 business days for Overseas international destinations).
Once it arrives at the "Customs" dept. your package will be processed as an imported good, checked for illegal imports & Taxed (if applicable) for their service.
After "Customs" dept. the package is turned over to a "Local Courier" for delivery since USPS does not have offices in other countries.
At Delivery - your local courrier will bring the package to the address you have designated. Since this is an international Package, someone will be required to be present, sign and pay any taxes (if applicable) at time of delivery.
If you are not present, cannot sign, or cannot pay any minimal taxes at time of delivery than the package will be sent to a local office to await your pickup at a time convenient for you. Unfortunately, many times the courrier will NOT leave notice that you missed your delivery. Please keep watch on your tracking information for a missed "Attempt to deliver" status which means you will have to pick the package up at local office.
Your package will NOT be returned to the U.S. because you missed your delivery. It will be held for you.
Why is International shipping so Expensive?
Just Compare - Clubs4Cash has a Discounted Commercial Account with USPS because of our Volume. We can offer our customers the Fastest Economical method of Transit available to the Global Community Period.
Freight Charges are Calculated by Weight & Distance. Our shipping Charges are an Average of 200% LESS than UPS, Fed-Ex or DHL! That's correct! UPS is Triple the cost of our Freight charges and in most countries UPS,Fed-Ex & DHL will collect Brokerage Fees that are charged to you at delivery. Our USPS shipments are EXEMPT from Brokerage Fees!!!!
How Can I be assured that I am getting the best price for Freight?
The proof is in the writing! On each International package (outside of Box) is a "Customs Declaration" Invoice. On this invoice (Under Postage & Fees) will be the actual "Cost" Clubs4Cash has paid in postage Just to cover transit only for your package. This published amount is our Discounted Rate that we pay.
Simply compare your Freight Charge you paid to the printed "Postage & Fees" charge that Clubs4Cash actuallly paid.
In Most Cases there is less than a $6 USD difference And this amount does NOT include the hidden extra costs that Clubs4Cash has paid for you for the following additional expenses listed below:
- New Corrugated Boxes with Approved Seal for international shipments -- $1.75 ea. Avg.
- New Recyclable 1/2" bubble wrap for ensured protection (paper only on small boxes) -$0.60
- Insurance! Clubs4Cash pays Insurance thru third party company to save you money! The Insurance charge for your package is NOT shown on the "Postage & Fees" Invoice. Clubs4Cash Pays an additional $0.89 Cents Per Hundred Dollars to protect your Purchase.
In short, Clubs4Cash will put your full Freight charge to work. Your purchase will be protected, Insured and Reach you Faster than our competitors offer...
Is there a Freight Discount for Purchasing more than one item?
Yes, this is our "combined shipping" discount and is advertised at the bottom of any eBay listing.
Full freight charge for 1st item. 50% off each additional(equal or lesser)items freight charge.
How to get Discount? PrePay for each Item Separately. Your discount will be given in the form of a REFUND to your PayPal account. Freight refunds are automatically issued prior to shipment. You will receive an email once your REFUND has been issued.
Will I have to Pay Fees, Taxes or Additional Charges?
Most countries will impose a Brokerage Fee, V.A.T. (Value Added Tax) or Duty for importing. Clubs4Cash is an experienced International Shipper and will do the following automatically for you....
- Lower the "Declared Value" (undervalue) as much as possible to minimize any V.A.T taxes or duties
- Label your purchase as a "Used Golf Club" (even New products). This will exempt you from New product import levies and taxes.
- USPS will handle your paperwork at customs so that you will NOT be charged a Brokerage Fee.
In short, taxes (if any) will be minimal.
What is the "Declared Value"? How Does it Affect Taxes? Where Can I Find the "Declared Value" of my Purchase?
- The "Declared Value" the value of the Product is your purchase price. (The amount of money you paid for item.) Some countries Customs Dept's will total your Purchase Price + Freight charge to calculate a total "Declared Value".
- V.A.T. Taxes (Value Added Tax) are taxes that are based on (a percentage of) the "Declared Value". The Higher the "Declared Value" the higher the tax. Clubs4Cash will automatically lower this "Declared Value" to lower the taxes to a minimum. In most cases, V.A.T. taxes (if applicable) will be a third (1/3) less or lower than what they should have been.
- Your "Declared Value" for your purchase can be found on the outside of Box on the "Customs Declaration" Form under -"Value (US $)- If you were charged any tax at all upon pickup, than this is the value your tax was based on. (compare to the $ amount you actually paid for item+shipping! much lower)
Why have I Received a "Customs Duty Form" from the Border Agency or Customs Dept.? They require that I fill it out...
Though very rare, sometimes Customers can be chosen at random to be required to fill out a "Customs Duty Form". This form is requested information about your imported package to make sure that your information matches that of the package being shipped.
Information details requested will be the Contents, weight, Label, item description and declared Value. It is important that your information given matches the information submitted by Clubs4Cash when the shipment was processed.

What Information details should I state on this Customs Duty Form?
Contact Clubs4Cash via email at firstname.lastname@example.com and let us know that you have been required to fill out a "Customs Duty Form". In this email, please give the following information.

(eBay notifications & "marked as shipped" will NOT apply).

YES for-USPS EXPRESS MAIL: includes detailed tracking information and Guarantees delivery to your countries Customs Dept. within 3-5 Business days.
Why is my package not delivered yet? Taking longer than expected?
If you have not received your package in the advertised time, than it is due to one of the following three reasons.
1- Unavailable for delivery.- If your tracking information shows a status of "Attempt to Deliver" than this means you have missed the attempted delivery. Your local courier will ONLY attempt to deliver international packages one-time. If you are not available in person during this "attempted delivery" than you will be required to pick the package up in person at this local courriers nearest office. Unfortunately, many times these courriers will NOT leave notice that they "attempted delivery". It is important that you keep daily watch over your Tracking information.
2- Delays in Customs Dept.- USPS guarantees delivery time ONLY to your countries Customs Dept. If your Tracking seems to have stopped for a long period of time and the last update says "arrived abroad" or Customs Dept." than your package is being "Delayed" or held up in Customs. USPS is NOT responsible nor do they have control of delivery once the package has Reached your Countries "Customs Dept.". In example a package may be shipped on Monday from the U.S. & arrive to your countries "Customs Dept" by Wednesday. However, if there is a delay in "Customs Dept" your package may sit there for another week. Though Rare (mostly during christmas or heavy shipping times) this delay is due to your Native "Customs Dept." is out of our Control. Your package may be delayed in Customs Dept. because your Customs has been closed due to Holidays, weekends or any non-normal event such as high volume in imported goods.
3- Postal Strikes or "Acts of God". On a Global Scale there is almost always circumstances that will delay the delivery of shipments somewhere. Examples are of such circumstances are Postal Strikes or Natural disasters (i.e. Hurricanes,volcano's, earthquakes, Tsunami's etc...).
USPS updates their website daily with important information regarding the Global Happenings that may delay services in your Country. "Clubs4Cash" will automatically notify customers of such events (once we are made aware) by including this information inside your automated Tracking information email.
To View a list of Current Global events affecting USPS Services (& to see if your Country is affected) please click HERE or Visit www.USPS.com (scroll to the bottom of page) and click on "Mail Service Updates".
How Can I Find information about my package?
First contact "Clubs4Cash" via email email@example.com or Call us Direct at 011 1 865 898 1534 with concerns.
We will Start by contacting USPS and following the package to it's last Scan. If the package is in "Customs Dept". than you will have to contact them. If the package has been turned over to a local courrier, we will find out to whom and try to obtain contact information for you on who to call? and where to pick up?

Slightly expanded w/ pics here:
It's always upsetting to write something less than stellar about a restaurant – mainly because it's always upsetting to have a less than stellar experience at a restaurant. Especially when you're dropping a lot of cash and it's a place you WANT to love.
Anyway, I'm hanging out with Kimberly (recovering anorexic) at Solar de Cahuenga, and I'm totally planning on parting ways with her at about 5:30 and slipping over for an early dinner at Palate, alone at the bar, before they get mobbed. But then Kim's friend Retta – who's not anorexic at all -- calls and says "what are you guys doing, I'm starving, want to go to Lucques?"
Well, I always want to go to Lucques, but I get on the phone with Retta and pitch Palate to her: "new-ish restaurant opened by a long-time partner in the Patina group, Octavio Becerra. This is his first restaurant on his own, and people are loving it. It's connected to a wine store so it's all about wine and small plates. Todd Jasmin works there, the crazy cheese guy who used to be at Comme Ca -- I know him, he'll hook us up a little. It's all good." Retta says, I'll pick you guys up, let's go now.
We walk in to Palate and right away I see Todd Jasmin. He seems happy to see me and I introduce him to Kim and Retta. We learn the restaurant is fully booked tonight but we can sit at the bar – so far so good, that's where I want to sit.
Now, this is exactly what happens next: Todd says to the bartender, "hey, dude, give these guys that new drink we came up with this afternoon." The bartender prepares 3 of the drinks, one for each of us.
Punch line # 1: we are charged for all three cocktails. 12 bucks a piece.
All right, I can't wait, punch line # 2: meal's over, I put three quarters of the bill on my credit card, Retta puts the rest on hers and she pays the whole tip. I get my credit card bill a few days later and I've been charged for the entire meal!!!! I have all the paperwork from both the restaurant and the bank, as well as Retta's paperwork, and they overcharged us (I'm sure unintentionally) by about 60 bucks.
Now, deep breath. Let's not get stuck here. I mean, fine, whatever, I'm sure it was an accident, and I will definitely parlay this error into a free meal. So it's all good.
Backtracking: We sit down at the bar and Kim and Retta immediately have problems with the bartender. Kim's sure he's hitting on her; Retta's positive he hates her. I have to agree, his demeanor is odd, aloof in a 'trying to be cool' way, not engaging in the way I like. Worse, the wines he pours me (his recommendations with the food we order) are mediocre. I love the small plates with wine concept, but no wine that crosses my palate is inspired tonight.
Oh, wait, I'm sorry to add fuel to the fire, but a few days after my meal here I'm getting a haircut at Floyd's in West LA, and the guy cutting my hair starts talking restaurants. Completely unprovoked, he tells me he lives in Glendale and had a very disappointing experience at Palate. He was poured several wines to taste, thinking he was choosing which wine he wanted to order by the glass. Then he was charged for all the tastes. He was surprised, upset, and does not intend to return to Palate.
Something might be wrong here.
All right, let's talk about the food, which had its very good moments. Corn soup was redolent of corn. It was paired with a white Bandol which was delicious and refreshing, best wine of the evening. The "porkfolio" was really good, a few types of ham, house-made, served with a few mustards. This is sort of a cliché these days but this was really good, and putting the pork on top of some bread and butter was perfect.
Next came an eggplant and ricotta cannelloni -- which was unmemorable -- and a coddled egg with summer truffles, which when slathered on some (more) bread and butter was divine -- contender for dish of the evening. Yum! Unfortunately, the bartender poured a very uninspired white burgundy with these dishes.
And then came the worst wine moment of the night. The bartender made a big deal that he had the perfect wine for me to drink with the pork belly. I said great. I then see him opening a 2001 Talenti Brunello and pouring it. The wine was closed, tight, needed a good day of air, and did NOTHING for the pork belly (which in itself was fine, with a nice crunchy skin). And the Brunello was 20 bucks.
This place is called Palate Food + Wine. To say that I expected better from the wine program would be an understatement.
The "veal rib eye" was the big positive surprise of the night, beefy and perfectly cooked medium rare, tender and lush. One of the better "steaks" I've had in a while.
And the oxtail was good too, but is never my favorite meat dish.
More on the plus side: The space is really cool. And the wine list itself has a lot of interesting selections at fair prices.
Here's what I'd do if I went back: go with a friend who's into wine, with whom I'm due for a deep conversation, sit in the "library", order a nice bottle of wine, order the coddled egg followed by the veal, and take our time, without much interruption or interaction from the wait staff. At its best I feel like Palate could work like a cool coffee shop: you find your little nook and hang out. That could really work.
I've had a similar odd experience at Palate, one good, one pretty terrible. It's long though:
re: acidspit
i wonder if you had the same waiter i had when i was there a few months back... in the middle of ordering a cheese plate for dessert the waiter dissapears when he realizes we have finished our wine. he takes the empty bottle and leaves us mid sentence. never to return... after about 15 mintues i flag him down and he looks at me like, 'i am sooooo sorry'. he then is not to be seen for another 5 minutes and i wave at him again and he slaps his head - letting me know he'd forgotten us again- and he brings us our cheese plate. we told him one cheese in particular we wanted before he vanished- and that was not on there! he just gave us a random cheese plate. can't complain, it was great. it did take us about another 2 years to get a glass of wine for it... that waiter REALLY sucked and didn't seem to know anything about the food or wine.
re: Clyde
Not sure if it was the same waiter-- this one seemed to at least know what foods/cheeses he was talking about, and it wasn't that he was inattentive (he was VERY attentive the first time I was there). I'm generally not a fan of waiters being wildly inconsistent, especially if I'm sitting in almost the same table with the same waiter within a span of 8 days.
If I go again, I'll be sure to clear away from the same waiter. Blech. He did a perfect job of ruining my night out .
re: acidspit
Was your bad waiter a lanky Frenchman? I had him the last time I was there and the service was SO over-solicitous to the point where my companion and I became really annoyed!
I've eaten at the restaurant once and several times at the wine bar. All great experiences, and the wines were definitely to my liking.
I have to say that I'm not a big fan of the younger bar tender (hard to describe, but "odd" would be the best way i could describe him), but I try to talk to Steve (wine director) when getting wine recommendations.
re: spoggly
interesting, I think I used the word "odd" as well. Yeah, at a place like this I think you just expect the wine recs and pairings to be relatively spot on. Also, I think it's not too much to expect for the bartender especially, even waiters, to be willing and WANTING to pour you tastes for free until you hit what you want. Places that pour you lots of tastes, and bartenders that do the same, make me love them and I end up spending a lot more money over time, believe me.
re: spoggly
thanx for the steve tip
re: la tache burger
ltb - Steve is not only the sommelier, but is also a wine maker in his own right. He has two of his own wines on the list. He really knows his wines. Sometimes it is difficult to keep his attention as he has the entire place to placate wine-wise, although both servers I had the times I've eaten there were quite knowledgable. But they defer to him if they have any questions, yet it make take some time to get that answer. That is the problem of being too successful in the early days of any restaurant - service suffers. Witness the problems people comment on regarding Comme Ca as an example.
Hi everyone. I've been reading all of you for a while and am finally adding my proverbial two cents. I am saddened to read this news about Palate. We had reservations there aprx a month ago (before the Virbila review!) and had to cancel them. I've been meaning to reschedule, but am now not so sure. As an aside, is Palate in the old Cinnabar space? (I used to like that place, many moons ago...)
It's hard when you get your expectations up! I felt slightly let down by Bashan last year (I went after its LA Times review) and haven't been interested in returning -- but I really think that too was an expectations issue! Had a really fun dinner at Foxfire, though -- but only because the "top chef" Antonia was so nice to us (fun to hear some behind-the-scenes stories! Nothing out of school, but lots of fun.) Sometimes you have the best meals at places where you've heard absolutely nothing! (We enjoyed Taylors, for example!)
Thanks again to all of you!
re: susiequeue
i think you should give palate a try. i recently had a great experience. we had amazing service, ordered all wines from the sommelier and even had a visit from the chef. we all enjoyed the food immensely and felt it was totally reasonable. $130 per couple with 2 bottles of wine (for 4 people) and more than enough to eat. the menu changes quite often we are told, so there will probably be new and interesting things to try. here is a link to my review...
re: susiequeue
Yes, check it out, it's such a cool space and the potential to have a great evening is definitely there. However, the potential for the opposite it also clearly there. Beware and try to sit in the right place with the right help -- if you can figure that out. If I were to go again I'd make sure I was getting "Steve" to give me wine recs -- as per Spoggly's post -- and not leave that very key issue, and potentially very pricey one, in the hands of a random server or bartender!!! (Even to have to make this caveat is a bit of problem, at the very least. Sorry, but it's Palate Food + Wine!)
This is soo bizarre to me...As of last Friday, I have been to Palate about 8x. 5x for dinner. 5x with a reservation. All AMAZINGLY EXCELLENT evenings...wine service, table service, bar service. One night, when I sat at the front of house bar, it was a bit of a pain in the ass...the review had just come out and they were swamped with only 1 bar tender...no bread and butter before my wine came so I had that freshly brushed toothpaste taste in my mouth-yuk. waited forever for my bread which didn't come until after my scallops...kind of a bummer but what can you expect with no res on a crazy-packed night.
As for people who think friends can "hook them up", uh, think again...unless you are the general manager, owner, or someone who holds the bank card to the place, a new restaurant cannot be giving out freebies willy-nilly unless they want to lose everything in the first few months. Cut your friend some slack, sure, "I know this guy" type of people only hold so much power.
The other strange thing is that I have gotten beyond-excellent service here, every time, even while dining solo, yet have had some horrid service at some of the best places (Providence broke my heart on my solo-birthday dinner, in June) in LA.
I also love the fact that many people who dine at Palate are curious, passionate, social people. We have always wound up getting to know the people dining next to us..Friday was a hoot!
Oh, as for the wine on Friday, geepers, great stuff, have 'em written down at home...they did bring us a little pour of something special to go with our coddled egg truffle treat...mmm.
Oooh, the chocolate pudding was soooo good. Wish we could have gotten a chance to try the veal tongue/scallop thingie but we got there so late that we couldn't bring ourselves to make them keep the kitchen open any longer.
We have enjoed all of our servers and I especially enjoy the knowledge and unpretentious vibe from the young gent at the wine merchant bar.
I guess I've just been lucky at Palate and at Bashan.
These are my 2 favorite places in LA (special mention to Hatfields and Grace).
Please go to Palate again, with a reservation and a relaxed schedule, and enjoy.
re: tatertotsrock
I'm glad you've had good experiences at Palate but I definitely have to quibble with your characterization of my expectation of being "hooked up". When an employee tells another employee to "give those guys that drink we came up with today" and then we're served those drinks, that should not be charged! No way! Never! We didn't order it! And it puts us in a very uncomfortable position when the bill comes.
re: la tache burger
^^^ I agree.
re: la tache burger
i completely agree with you, tache.
re: tatertotsrock
and i will go again. Like I said, I'm not damning the restaurant, it was one experience, but usually those have at least some resonance. And yeah, next time I'll make triple sure I'm connecting with the right people.
Frankly, despite all the hype I find Bashan in nearby Montrose to be a far superior restaurant. Food, service, wine, atmosphere are all tops.
If you want a nice night out, I suggest checking it out.
Bashan Restaurant
3459 North Verdugo Road
Glendale, CA 91208

My review is here: http://asecretasianman.blogspot.com/
re: SecretAsianMan
Not that I'm doubting your assessment, but just by looking at the differing menus I can tell you that Palate uses superior ingredients. Just sayin...Maple Leaf Duck and Rougie foie aren't exactly top tier ingredients. But cooking technique is another thing...
re: fooddude37
Never judge a menu by...
Frankly, the meals we had at each place were incomparable. The summer herb soup at Palate tasted like boiled lawn clippings, while the other dishes were so small that they were hardly satisfying. Agreed with others below that the vibes are different, but dollar for dollar Bashan is the better meal and more intimate experience. Service was top drawer all around, while at Palate, I felt our presence was a bit of an annoyance.
re: SecretAsianMan
My 2 cents for what they are worth....Bashan has a much more intimate feel, familiar and comfortable. Palate has a much more professional feel. The space is more industrial and bits of the old Bekins business remain. Both have terrific food! For eating good food and chillin with friends-Palate. For an intimate/romantic night out Bashan.
re: SecretAsianMan
thank you for that, no that was completely egregious on my part. Apologies.
re: SecretAsianMan
i thought that was odd and maybe the friend might not appreciate this?
re: lotta_cox
one of friend's ways of coming to terms with it is joking about it to anyone who'll listen. And she is funny as hell. And that's much better than keeping it a secret which she did for 30 some years. I told her about this thread and she was extremely amused, actually. Odd, but wonderful IMO.
We had a good experience overall at Palate, but there were some problems. We had a reservation for 845. We showed up about 5 minutes early and were not seated until almost 45 minutes after our reservation time. They did pour us about a half of a glass of wine while we waited that we did not pay for. Once we got to our table our waiter was terrific. He brought us lots of good wine to try and we were charged for substantially fewer glasses of wine than we were served. If we didn't like a wine that he brought us, he tried something else. Maybe because of the rocky start we had to the evening, the staff was super nice to us and we left with an overall positive impression and a desire to return.
Has anyone order extensively off the wine list (bottles) at Palate and have an opinion about price/quality? Also, what's the policy about drinking a wine from the shop in the restaurant? (In this context, I'll mention how much I love Upstairs 2 at the Wine House. You can buy any bottle from the store then pay 10 dollar corkage in the restaurant. AND the wine list in the restaurant has really great selections NOT available in the store. A really cool place for wine and small plates IMHO.)
re: la tache burger
we should go eat together sometime. maybe go to palate and NOT eat at the bar. i ask the bartender, I says to him, "which wine do you recommend? I like x's, and y's, and sometimes z's. I want to spend q." he says, "i have had them all they are all good." so I say, i says, "i will have the albarino." he goes, "i have no idea what wine that is, what is the bin number?" i get it, your wine list is big enough, but that was so dang rude. and i was alone. why do some servers NOT get that their attitude directly affects their income?
re: lotta_cox
yeah, let's eat
I didn't have a good experience when we went a month back either. Some of the problem is financially related - they charged us the wrong price for a quartino of rose ($20 instead of $13), didn't apologize, then I noticed that the house filtered water is $6. That's free at Mozza...
Unfortunately half the food is good, half is not very, so no incentive for me to go back. The service was OK when we went. I never really ask for the server's advice on what to order anyway.
re: notmartha
sadly, that resonates fairly well with my experience
I just went on the 11th and our experience was more or less flawless. It was a party of 7, we sat in a room near the back so it was semi private. The food was incredible, pan fried mackerel with panzanella, gnocchi that beats out Mozza and Craft's version, great pork belly. We ordered bottles, a Crozes Hermitage, a Gigondas, and a Prosecco, and all were very good value. There is a huge selection of wines under $50 that are fairly marked up. I have eaten at the bar and I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the table more. I was amazed that for a party of 7, all the food came out simultaneously, the plates and food were hot, and everything was cooked perfectly. The grapefruit cocktail was really good, perfect balance, very refreshing. I consider the prices extremely fair.
For me, Palate beats out every other restaurant in this price category (Lucques, AOC, Grace, Hatfield's, etc...)
If I recall correctly, after tip, we spent $570 for seven people, that's with multiple porkfolios, cocktails, wine, entrees, dessert, two cheese plates, french press coffee, the full deal. It was for a birthday so we felt we were going all out. It would be possible to go in for a more casual meal and spend far less.
re: fooddude37
While I agree regarding the food and service comments, the best part about Palate is the wine selection, pricing, and quality value. To pay corkage here is heresy.
To a true wine-lover, let Steve and Octavio select the list, and you get to go along for the ride, tasting bottles that you would never select on your own, and enjoying wines that are still palatable on the wallet (pun intended!). A true wine-taster's dream restaurant where you don't have to always buy a full bottle to taste, which is the best of all possible worlds.
re: carter
certainly that's pretty much exactly what i was hoping my experience would be. i must try again
re: la tache burger
Hey LTB-
I have to say that I was relieved to read your post. I just went back for my 2d time, and the 1st was not a great experience so I was giving it another go, and I had been stymied by the fact that all of these chowhounders and S. Irene were falling all over themselves about the place and I am just consistently underwhelmed by it.
Todd wasn't our waiter but recommended one highlight dish of the evening - one of the entire menu he recommended. But I really appreciate his knowledge and enthusiasm. We had two great bottles of wine - but not on anyone's rec other than my friend's husband knowing his wines.
Frenchy the waiter (and both myself and my friend had been waited on by him on each of our separate prior visits and were praying he would not wait on us) was a little more pleasant but no more attentive this go around.
The food, though interesting, consistently lacks flavor/seasoning. And I take issue with the fact that they repeatedly serve dishes with grits (which I enjoy), but provide you with so little of them you can barely lift them off the plate.
I like the wine shop and if/when I do return, will likely just sit in the wine shop/bar, have a nice glass and order a jar of potted pork and call it a day.
Anyhoo, thanks for your honesty! And I wholeheartedly agree on the drink thing - hooked up or not, if a member of the staff orders you something like that, it should be gratis. That has nothing to do with your expectations or being hooked up, that is just plain common sense.

Fun in the sand
Hampton Beach loves this little mermaid
It was a pastime she later shared with her young daughter, Geni.
"We'd be at the beach almost everyday," Pareja-Whipple said.
Two years ago, when the mother and daughter moved to the United States with Pareja-Whipple's husband, Steve Whipple, the newly formed family delighted in summer day trips to Hampton Beach, where they once again indulged their imagination in the sand dunes.
During one such trip last summer, Geni, 9, had a special request for her mother.
"I want to be a mermaid," she declared. Pareja-Whipple got to work, burying her daughter's lower body in sand they agreed was much whiter and softer than the sands of their homeland.
"It was just like old times," she said.
Snapping a photograph of the "mermaid" in her natural habitat, the family sent the picture to the Hampton Beach Chamber of Commerce, feeling hopeful but not altogether convinced the photo would appear in an upcoming visitor's guide.
The local organization prints a guide each summer season, with 50,000 guides distributed in the United States and Canada annually.
Each year the chamber hosts a contest to select photographs to be used in the guide, and last weekend, the Windham family learned Geni's photograph would be among those photographs, having earned first place in the contest.
The family was treated to dinner at the Ashworth by the Sea as a prize.
"We'd kind of forgotten about it," Pareja-Whipple said. "Then we went to the mailbox last Saturday."
Geni, a third-grader at Windham Center School, is beyond excited.
"She pretty much feels like a rock star," said Steve Whipple, who was upstairs working in his home office when he heard his wife and stepdaughter begin to scream.
"They were whooping it up like they'd won 'American Idol,'" he said with a laugh. "They're on Facebook showing the photo to relatives who are 9,000 miles away."

With Election Day around the corner, voters going to the polls are looking for candidates that will follow through on campaign pledges to fix problems and admit accountability when situations go south. Among the myriad taxpayer problems are the continuing soap opera that developing the Nassau Coliseum has become, the lack of governmental transparency that became evident in recent events including a lawsuit filed by banned workers at the animal shelter and ongoing aircraft noise that has been severely affecting quality of life.
Anton Community Newspapers will be publishing a special supplement section on November 8 in honor of local veterans. This supplement will include profiles, organization information and resources and of course, lot of photos of those who serve and have served.
Submit your photo of your family's veterans, one photo per veteran, preferably in uniform.
All photos must include the name of the veteran. Add in any additional information known: location/date of photo, rate/rank/branch, war era, dates of service, where the veteran is from or lives now locally.
Republican Felix Procacci, of Franklin Square, is running on the Democratic ticket this election season, challenging Republican incumbent, Kate Murray, for the position of supervisor for the Town of Hempstead. Procacci, a computer programmer, is basing his campaign on increasing town government transparency.
"For me this campaign is not political; it is a continuation of my efforts to reform town government, an effort that began almost three years ago when I attended my first town board meeting," said the challenger. "Sixty-two consecutive meetings later, and with a greater understanding of town government, my goal remains the same: the reform of town government."
After the last few years in county conference A1, the Lady Dragons of Division Avenue High School find themselves in conference A3. This season the Blue Dragons have concentrated on trying to rebuild a team that lost many fine players to graduation the last two years. Division finds themselves in the middle of the pack in conference A2 halfway through the season with a 2-2-2 record.
Leading the way for the Lady Dragons is a small but solid group of seniors. Anchoring a very stingy defense is Kim Beattie and Miranda Pedroza. Both girls play the outside defender positions. Suring up a talented Midfield is Alyssa Barbosa, Michelle Pedreros, and Ariana Weingrad. Weingrad plans to play college soccer next season at the University of Bridgeport.
With elections less than four weeks away, it seems as though Kate Murray would be letting her daily duties as the Supervisor of the Town of Hempstead take a back seat to campaigning. On the contrary, Murray practices seamless politics that doesn't differentiate.
"Good government is good politics," she said in an informal discussion at the Levittown Tribune offices on Sept. 24.
Fresh smoothies, Hawaiian coffees, and baristas that greet you with "Aloha," can only be found at one place on Long Island, and that is at the Maui Wowi café on Wantagh Avenue.
"The idea of opening a Maui Wowi was appealing because it has a little something for everyone," said Nicole Marsh, who owns and runs the café with her husband Joseph Marsh. "It's healthy, nutritious, and pretty darn tasty."
"The ambiance is nice and the drinks are great," said Stefan Mercus, who is a regular customer at Maui Wowi along with his 3-year-old daughter Juliet. "It's very family friendly here."
The "New Levittown Park Bake Shop," on Wantagh Avenue, changed its sign for the first time in 50 years, throwing out the 'new' and bringing in the new. Adding delightful intrigue to the change, it offers a slew of new offerings the owners hope can draw a new generation of sweet- toothed aficionados, and will ship its items around the country.
A fixture in the community for 50 years with an avid following, the New Levittown Park Bake Shop was purchased in September 2012 by cousins Helen Kyrillidis and Tanya Salagiannis from the family-owned business of bakers known in the neighborhood as Karen and Marty. Charlie Johnson, a baker for the shop since Karen's father Karl owned it with a partner named Henry, told this newspaper Karl's daughter Karen bought the business from her father in 1984. Karl started the Levittown Park Bake Shop with partner Henry in the early 1960s – naming it after a small open field or 'park' next to it - and went around solo 1964 when Henry left. Under new management, Karl renamed it the New Levittown Park Bake Shop.
(Editor's note: This was submitted by the Island Trees School District in response to Susan Reckling's request for more information about J. Fred Sparke, which printed in the Friday, Sept. 6 edition of the Levittown Tribune. This feature was written by Margaret Robben and printed in the September 1963 edition of The Sparke-ler.)

The Coalition of Nassau Civic Associations hosted the candidates for county comptroller—incumbent George Maragos and challenger Howard Weitzman—in a town forum at the Plainview-Old Bethpage Library last week.
Each candidate was granted five minutes of speaking time, followed by a question and answer session with residents in attendance.
Broadly speaking, Maragos said the county has "held the line" on tax increases and not burdened Nassau County's homeowners, while Weitzman said the county can not sustain the debt t has accrued during the current administration's time in office.
The funeral for Levittown fire fighter Jason DeLauro, 32, was held on Sept. 13. DeLauro was killed in an accident that occurred on Sunrise Highway, near Horseblock Road in Yaphank at approximately 1 p.m. on Sept. 8. According to police, DeLauro pulled his 2005 Honda motorcycle over to the median; a car veered out of the westbound lane and struck him. DeLauro was pronounced dead at the scene.
Emergency responders said the driver of the vehicle refused medical attention; the vehicle was impounded for investigation. Police said no charges had been filed.

I don't know if you're a current gamer/customer of OnLive's, but let me tell you they've done a fantastic job at solving latency issues. In fact, the only time it's noticeable is for driving games (unplayable quite honestly).
For other twitch type games, first person shooters Onlive works surprinsgly well. I've played through Red Faction, Home Front, and a few others and they all play very well. Some of the slower games, Patrician for example, play very well on OnLive.
I won't sit here and tell you that latency is of no importance, it most definitely is. And true they need more data centers to be more responsive. But as a gamer in the midwest (Milwaukee), I can tell you OnLive's game service is quite responsive and a decent alternative to constant workstation upgrades.
I'm really surprised at all the fear behind administering an Exchange server. We started with SBS 2003 quite some time ago, and only just transitioned off it this past year. The original setup was a breeze, and only rudimentary skills are needed to setup connectors. Using powershell is most definitely NOT required. Configuring the remote connector can easily be created within all things GUI. As for DNS, yes - you'll need to setup a dns server. But DNS isn't rocket science. Admittedly we use bind on one of our linux boxes, but finding the required special names and adding them to your dns server wasn't terrible.
Maybe our internal IT staff is the shit, maybe I'm taking for granted how easy/difficult it was. But as someone who's worked these boxes for years, it's really not as terrible as people make it out to be...
Have you ever setup SBS Exchange, it's stupid simple. Bridgeheads? connectors? while you will need to setup a connector, it's really not complicated. Anyone who sugest it is is trying to sell you consultant services. Domain forest prep, again SBS takes care of all of this. You are correct though about the certificate. It's not the easiest thing in the world, though far from overly complicated.
Yea, hosting email and 'docs' inside Google isn't a bad idea. We toyed with the idea as well. The problem is that Google has zero responsibility to the customer in the event of a subpoena. You really don't want your data outside of your control. While you might be compelled to provide data to a third party, at least you would know it's been provided. Google has zero reason to tell you, and no obligation to do so. Keep your data out of the cloud, it's far from secure.
If you've already purchased and using (albeit only barely) Microsoft SBS, take advantage of Exchange before you spend any more money on a new system, otherwise you're just wasting money. Exchange works quite well, obvious straight-forward connectivity with the Outlook client. Administering Exchange isn't the end of the world, and is actually quite easy in an SBS environment. I would suggest setting up an alternate internal smart-host (smart-relay) so that you don't have to expose the Exchange server directly to the internet. Courier MTA works VERY well (and is the exact setup we have internet->courier->exchange).
Setting up a Jabber IM server internally is easy as well, otherwise use Google Apps and have your email domain hosted there and just use Google Talk with the various AV plugins.
Setting up Switchvox (Asterisk) is a purchase, but I 2nd the comment by others to find you a local phone service retailer and let them deal with phone integration. If you do decide on a hosted solution for email and voice (voip) then make sure you don't skimp on the internet connectivity. I worked at a place previously convinced VOIP was the way to go, but management would cringe every time you talked about capacity of the external connection and the need to upgrade.
Just my 2cents...
and yet, with nothing to hide, you posted as anonymous...
It's funny, everything you wrote I was thinking as I was getting ready to reply to thread...
Our Sun/Solaris (F! U! Oracle...) are all supported with top-notch onsite support as well as being able to use the iLOM systems is fantastic. We also have Dell's and HP that almost all have their respective integrated systems. But I really think you hit the nail on the head with your reference to VMware. It has made so much more sense for many of the systems I admin at work. While our core database servers are all on bare metal, nearly every other 'service' is virtualized either in vmware or in solaris zones.
mod me redundant - just wanted to chime in and agree with the parent.
While you make the point of the model, you didn't specify your stance on the topic.
I for one am against the capping. I can understand the business need as additional content becomes available, it requires additional bandwidth available on the part of the ISP.
I currently subscribe to a 'premium' tier from TW here in Milwaukee, mostly for the additional upstream bandwidth. I did a quick review of my usage as tracked through Cacti, and found that on average, I use about 40GB/mo. An occasional torrent for a distro, plus some updates to windows boxes, and a couple of Gentoo boxes. I also have begun using Netflix's online video more.
What is interesting though, is that I haven't read anything mentioning the HBO on Broadband service that is bundled with HBO package I currently have. Will I be charged for bandwidth that is used for a service I'm already paying for (to the same vendor?)
Just some thoughts. I hope this whole tiered thing falls through...
I don't know about SSO in it's truest form, I assume you mean that after the user logs into the workstation, that they don't have to also login to the IM client. I never worked with that at all.
As for using the same user account to log in to both the workstation (XP I assume?) as well as the IM client, I had that working in about 5 minutes.
If it's not working, it's probably more to do with your ldap authentication than with either server.
Are you able to perform lookups from the CLI on the Jabber server? I would check that. Assuming that you can, the OpenFire server has a couple of tests that it can perform to help troubleshoot.
BTW - is this an OpenLDAP server or AD?
I agree.
The OpenFire Jabber server is rock solid and integrates with LDAP, has the ability to log conversations and generally speaking is very elegant and easy to maintain.
We also use the Spark client, which is made available by the same group.
Very solid setup if you ask me.
I'd have to 2nd this one. We are using Openfire with Spark as well and I have found it very usable. It can also integrate with an Active Directory tree (and OpenLDAP I'm sure)
I like the ease of use at the administrator side as well.
2 thumbs up for this set!

This is our favorite flavor of the Gingernize lineup. There's a very fresh lemon and lime flavor to the product, which gives it a more mellow ginger flavor than some of the others in the lineup. Packaging looks just like the other varieties and definitely needs some improvement. Specifically, we'd like to see a more modern look to it as opposed to the current health foods style design. Furthermore, we'd drop the word "rush" from the name as it doesn't add anything to the product's marketability. Overall, amazing taste, but needs packaging help.

Sightly intro part 2
Welcome to the second part of the intro of the Sightly framework available in AEM6 (here you find the first article).
In this article I will go through some more data-sly attributes, and show you how to write custom Java classes to integrate with your Sightly components.
Are data-sly attributes bound to specific HTML-elements?
I got this question from @snemarch based on my first article.
No, you can use all the data-sly attributes everywhere you like.
Here an example to show data-sly-list with HTML5 article and section tags
Preserve the markup from the designer
How many times do you get a HTML snippet from a designer with some nice mock data in there? And what do we with that?, we rip it apart and you just end up with a small snippet and you lost the context of it.
Now with sightly you can preserve the markup including the mock data, and still make it fully functional.
In the sample below I have received a navigation HTML snippet, and integrated this with sightly. Via the empty data-sly-test attributes the elements are surpressed completely.
- This is the first menu item
- This is the second menu item
- This is the third menu item
- This is the fourth menu item
Naming your data-sly-test expression
With data-sly-test you can show or hide an HTML element.
What you also can do is to name your expression and reuse that in other data-sly-test expression.
In the example below I have data-sly-test-valid, that then can used as 'valid' in the other data-sly-test expression.
Please enter a title for this page
Hiding container elements
If some cases you have a need to hide a container element, for example hiding the <ul> for a list, or not generating a surrounding <div>
For these cases you can use the data-sly-unwrap attribute.
In this example we generate a list of <li> items, without the <ul>.
- ${child.title}
You can also pass an expression to the data-sly-unwrapped attribute to make it conditional.
Here you see that only in edit-mode the <ul> is hidden.
- ${child.title}
Custom Java-classes
In most projects you will find yourself in need to write some custom code to support your components. With sightly you can use the data-sly-use attribute for that.
Java-class, option 1
We have a few options how you can write your custom class, the first option is that your Java-class is extending the "WCMUse" class from Sightly.
When extending this class you are able to call methods like "getResource()", "getCurrentPage()", "getPageManager()" etc.
Here an example of a Java-class that extends WCMUse.
public class SightlyComponent extends WCMUse {
private String myTitle;
public void activate() {
myTitle = "My Project " + getCurrentPage().getTitle();
public String getMyTitle() {
return myTitle;
Java-class, option 2
If you don't feel comfortable to extend a class, you can also implement the Use-interface.
Via the init() method you can access all the bindings that are available. These are things like "currentPage", "resource", "request" etc.
Here an example of this implementation.
public class SightlyComponent implements Use {
private String myTitle;
public void init(Bindings bindings) {
Page currentPage = (Page) bindings.get(WCMBindings.CURRENT_PAGE);
myTitle = currentPage.getTitle() + "new";
public String getMyTitle() {
return myTitle;
We have some more options how you can implement Java-classes, but I will cover that in a next article.
In this final example you can see how you can access a service from the WCMuse-class.
public class SightlyComponent extends WCMUse {
private String myTitle;
public void activate() {
myTitle = "My Project " + getCurrentPage().getTitle();
MyService service = getSlingScriptHelper().getService(MyService.class);
public String getMyTitle() {
return myTitle;
This is already the end of part 2 of my sightly intro. In my next article I am planning to give you some more samples, and introduce some more options to integrate your Java-classes.
Feel free to reach out to me, for more info or questions.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

Photos and Description of this 1 bedroom holiday apartment in Vienna City Center - EOS Appartment DownTown
3 rooms - 70m ² - for 1-4 persons - 3 Lift floor - high ceilings, pollen proof
Why 'EOS'? Just because the sun and the light does not want to leave the apartment - we were concerned, to create a sense of living where we ourselves also would like to pass by and stop: spotlights, homely strip flooring, dark-stained carpenters wall mounted with tasteful pictures. In general, good friends of us stay here, the consequence was obvious to also rent it as apartment. In March 2011 the almost four meters tall rooms have been completely refurbished with a central electronic control air system, which gives an excellent indoor climate that is ideal for allergy sufferers (3-stage filter). We would also want to welcome you here. Characteristics: * 3-room apartment 70m2 for 1-4 persons, 3 Lift floor * open plan kitchen, central bar with a central living room with cooker * Ausziehliege * Walk-in wardrobe * Bedroom * Bathroom
