Customer Service
From The Eyes of a FORMER Employee
Posted by
AVON PARK, FLORIDA -- Okay, to start things off, I am not here to slander Winn-Dixie. I am here to tell things how I see them.
I used to work for them for a few months as a bagger and well, from my experience, the particular store I worked for did have valuable customer service - not the best but definitely satisfactory - but they are NOT top-notch when it comes to keeping their store clean and their food fresh. I will explain why:
1. There is a review here about how the meat department puts new stickers on old meat. This is definitely true, as I have had to do a lot of work around that area. In fact the only recollection I have of them throwing away their old meat is not a very good one. One morning, as I was collecting carts from the parking lot, I found a HUGE bag that smelled like a dead dog. You could smell it from a mile away. I was surprise no one had noticed it sitting there all night. I thought someone had killed something and threw it out. Well I open the bag and I found about a couple of hundred pounds of rotting meat in there. Not only did I inform management, the manager on duty was so grossed out he had me take all of that crap out by myself.
It's bad enough they don't clean their meat department well enough, it's irresponsible to leave a bag of rotting meat out in the open and have their bagger throw it all out on his own. This shows that the person that was working in the meat department the previous day was too lazy to properly dispose the meat, he/she left it out in the parking lot, in a bag on a shopping cart and the bagger on duty that night was too lazy to pick up carts before the store closed. I estimated that, since the meat department closes at around 8 PM there, the meat was sitting out in the open for a good 15 hours before I discovered it upon the start of my shift. The smell was so strong I had to ask customers outside to step back. I couldn't bring all that crap into the store.
2. A lot of times the manager would ask me to take something into the freezer to find that there are a lot of spills. Sometimes the freezer would even smell. I hated going in there. They really need to do something about that. That and they need to organize their products in there a little better.
3. The backroom, where the stockers collect all the products after the truck delivers them to put them on the shelves - no where near clean. There is too much crap on the ground, sometimes it's hard to walk around there.
4. I can't count the times I've gone to the bathroom during my break to find a huge turd floating on the toilet. Once I found one on the urinal. THE URINAL!
On top of all this, they do not treat their employees very well. They certainly didn't treat me like a human being. Besides the fact that the manager called me into her office to nag at me about not doing anything (even though at the time I was bringing out bags) she called me names and would make me pick up shopping carts in the middle of a tropical storm. I hated working for them. I hate Winn-Dixie. I hate the management in it. I hate the fact that they stole hours from me, I hate the fact that there products are so pricy, and I hate the fact that their baggers/cashiers have to do all the damn work while they sit on their ass and make 20 times more than we do by doing NOTHING. They don't even back up cashiers when there are long lines.
In conclusion they sure as heck aren't the cleanest store. I would also like to say that I am not writing this review because they treated me unfairly. I am writing this review because I have seen these things. Heck, I was treated worse at Sweet Bay, but I would gladly say they have the cleanest store I've ever seen. If you want fresh meat, fresh fruits and vegetables and all around fresh foods, ignore the fact that the people there suck, at least they do their jobs.
I could say a lot more, but I think I've made my point across about Winn-Dixie.

You've made some serious allegations against a grocery chain. I suppose you can back up what you've stated. Did you make a call to the local Health Department to report the unsanitary conditions? Having not gone into that particular store the only two comments I can make are: The customers are the ones who leave a mess in a public restroom and management will ALWAYS make more than the bagboys. Get an education and you might find yourself in management at some point and then you can sit down and do nothing.
PyroWolf on 01/09/2008:
I have a High School diploma and I am a certified EMT. So I am not quite on the bottom of the food chain especially since I am working in the medical field now. I only got a job at Winn-Dixie to kill time because no one was hiring anywhere at the time. Like I said, I'm not going to report Winn-Dixie, god knows I've taken a lot of crap from people in the past. I've always done what I thought was right, especially in my job.
only telling it like I see it bud.

PyroWolf...An anynonomus letter the Health Department or to your local TV channel would at least get things going in the right direction, hopefully to prevent the unknown public from getting sick.
Our EMTc would be proud of you!

PyroWolf, being as to how you work in medical field now do you think you could help our DebtorBasher out with her mental problem?
One-Eyed Willie on 01/09/2008:
I can understand why you would want to avoid the perceived hassle of reporting the company, but keep the idea of an anonymous complaint in your mind. I'm sure plenty of people have gotten sick from this place, and you might be able to help out.
Now back to the turd, what do you consider a huge turd? The fact that it was floating limits the possible density and dimensions.
PyroWolf on 01/09/2008:
Who's DebtorBasher? or is that some sort of joke? :P
Its been about 6 months since I worked for them. When the meat thing happened, I reported it to management. Honestly, you could call me a noob when it comes to the grocery business. I only took a job there because I needed something to do until I could find a better job.
I don't want to riot any problems against the store, I don't like the Winn-Dixie down here. The one that I used to go to when I was with my ex up in Marion County wasn't so bad as they had a slightly better store than the one I worked for. My ex was actually astonished when I told her about the meat incident.
DebtorBasher on 01/09/2008:
"Who's DebtorBasher"?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

All in all, working in grocery stores isn't my thing.
*Brenda* on 01/09/2008:
Doing the right thing would have been reporting these incidents to the health department right after it happened, maybe they could have prevented someone from getting sick. You did NOTHING except report it to management, who probably knew already and didn't care... unless they were blind and couldn't smell, so you are just as bad as them.
Anonymous on 01/09/2008:
PyroWolf, don't worry about DB she is just getting old and can't read to well and jktshiff1, well he kind of drinks to much.
BTW, good review and welcome to the site we are all happy people here.

Liddy...what did I tell you about mixing your old people medication with your moonshine?
PyroWolf on 01/09/2008:
WTH? brenda, first of all, don't you dare tell me I am as "as bad as them."
Second, I did nothing? how about, noticing the meat rotting in the parking lot? HOW ABOUT reporting and SHOWING it to management, how about cleaning that damn mess up, how about APOLOGIZING to the customers that had to see that.
don't tell me I am bad, I've never done anything wrong in my entire life. I base my life on helping people and I base my career on helping patients.
maybe I should have reported them, but I didn't. so WHAT!? let someone else report them.
PyroWolf on 01/09/2008:
I'm sorry about being rude to you Brenda but that comment was uncalled for

I had two extra wisdom teeth... does that mean I'm 50% smarter than Basher??
DebtorBasher on 01/09/2008:
You were...but since you don't have them anymore, then you are not any longer.
And wisdom is not the same as smarts.
*Brenda* on 01/09/2008:
"maybe I should have reported them, but I didn't. so WHAT!? let someone else report them."
SO then you're just as bad as them. You are letting it go on when someone could get sick from it. Freezers don't usually smell bad unless something nasty is in them and obviously management must have caught a whiff and they don't do anything about it. You stated that they don't clean the meat department well. You have to notify someone who WILL do something about it. Why wait for someone else to do it when you might be able to prevent someone from getting ill?
PyroWolf on 01/09/2008:
I'll consider reporting it.
Besides I didn't know anything about whom to report what to back then.
old fart on 01/09/2008:
Basher... Have you been tryin' to snoop at my dental records...??
DebtorBasher on 01/09/2008:
No...I accidentally picked up that glass in your bathroom and seen everything I needed to know about your dental records.

Well, Pyrowolf, welcome.
If the store you are talking about is in Avon Park, FL, then you have probably done all you need to do. It only takes one person from that area to read your post--and I hope they do--and it will definitely be brought to someone's attention. We've all worked somewhere, at sometime, where we probably should have reported something, but none of us are perfect--and that's a fact!

Bye the way Principissa how did they know it was him? did he leave a note or something?
Principissa on 01/10/2008:
No bargod, he told them he did it! One thing about my boy, he's too honest, the other day he came up to me and said Mommy I broke this toy on purpose because my little brother made me mad. I'm going to go to the corner now for my punishment and don't give me desert tonight.

No Sale Items and Poor Customer Service
Posted by
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- First, my wife and I are Winn Dixie Members.
On Thursday, my wife and I went to the Monument RD Winn Dixie in hopes to take advantage of the new sales which began the day prior. We had hoped to specifically get at least $100.00 in meat. When we got there, all meat specials except Sirloin Steaks which looked poor to say the least, were gone. There was no $.68/lb roasters, there was no $5.99 Boneless New York Strip Steaks, and there were no Porterhouse or T-Bones.
As we were not the only individuals in search of meat, many of us summoned the butcher who advised that they just did not have any. They were sold out. And this is not even two full days into Winn Dixie's sale.
Now, as this happens to us on a frequent basis at this store, I asked the butcher who we could speak to about this issue. He obtained the store manager, "Steve" who proved himself to be arrogant and showed no signs of sympathy. He said they just had been too busy. His only help to us was to call the Winn Dixie complaint line. This, and nothing more.
Winn Dixie, this store specifically, should be able to use prior statistics to help in the ordering of meat. It doesn't take much education to know that people are going to buy meat that is half the usual price.
My wife and I also experience this in the grocery side as well. Sales with no sale products.
It makes shopping quite frustrating, especially when we try and buy our meat only from Winn Dixie.
Unfortunately, we placed all our grocery items back on the shelves and went elsewhere. If customers are no longer a driving force for Winn Dixie, and if Management can provide no other assistance than what we received, we may have to consider another grocery store.
Winn Dixie, you would think with the financial woes the company is bearing that it would want to be helpful to its customers. Apparently Store #0054 in Jacksonville has another idea. Or perhaps Management should brush up on their people skills.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS REVIEW WHILE I WAS ON VACATION!!! Anyway, Winn-Dixie sucks. Why have faith in a company that thinks spending most of their money on improving employee benefits will help their company get out of their financial rut?
unfair on 06/17/2005:
Winn-dixie is still around? I thought they went out of business years ago. I need to go to FL to check out this historic grocery store.
Dr. Jeecheroo on 06/17/2005:
Yeah, Winn-Dixie is still around. Just like Jack In The Box apparently is.
rickster9 on 09/21/2005:
The produce is not fresh. The freezers are more like heaters. The place is oversized with unfresh stuff. Prices are high. Terrible, terrible.
spiderman47 on 11/21/2006:
this problem usually can usually be resolved,
if the manager can't help or respond in a timely
fashion then the next step would be to talk to
coorporate office to solve the problem about sale issues but I assume that going by how & who
order the deliveries can only have so much on hand as far as projecting sales & inventory goes & then also they will determine each store
customer count versus how much inventory & how much cash on hand,etc,etc,etc, you get the picture. as a general rule of the supermarket business, but like I said you are one hundred percent correct.
spiderman47 on 05/05/2007:
Customers have a right to complain with their problems,
if management does not help then take the next step & call
the next in command or go to the winn-dixie website,
usually the corporate office or the district manager will
& should try to resolve these & all situations, if they
care about the customers coming back, but then again,
it's their store.
dixiecsl on 05/24/2007:
As far as ordering the meat goes, that is up to the market manager and not any other person in the store or the company. And the doc keeps claimning that Winn-Dixie is just driving itself into a depper rut yet, they are out of bankruptcy and they are making a profit.
caley on 07/01/2007:
if you ask a manager they will write you a rain check for your meat. which still sucks, but at least you can get it cheap if you decide you still want it later.
JocFra on 04/28/2010:
Winn dixie is just terrible and it is not because of the lower employees (baggers/cashiers) or even low level managers (department managers), it is because of the attitdues of store managers and those even higher. WD just plain stinks, stinks for customers and stinks for employees. We get treated very poorly at WD, sad because our main competitor (P-----) pays their help more money, has better benefits, and I have never seen an employee be reprimanded in full view of the entire store.

Donations, Donations, Donations
Posted by
NORTHPORT, ALABAMA -- I shop at Winn Dixie in Northport several times a week and they are always asking if you would like to make a donation to one cause or another. I have payroll deductions taken out of each paycheck for the charities I contribute to and am SICK of being asked every time I walk in their doors if I want to make a donation. I don't think the grocery store is a place to be asking their customers for donations. If they care so much about their "CAUSES" why don't they advertise how much they are going to donate of their profits?

I too am annoyed by these request for donations. I donate to several charities I want to, not who Winn Dixie wants me to. Big K (Kmart) is another of these - I have to actually touch a key on a display monitor to say I do not want to donate. Maybe next time I will say I'm not touching any key and see if they will cancel the sale.

Former Location Manager
Posted by
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- I worked in the, now closed down, Atlanta Division for 20 years 3 months and 5 days. 1970-1990. I worked in almost all the departments and ended up as a Store Manager. The upper management in those days were autocratic and often abusive. They took an adversarial view of store employees. We had little say, for example, as to sales per man hour or display set up. It was all dictated from the top down by people who hadn't worked in a store for decades. Most employees and executives were high school graduates only. We had an almost 100% turn over in store management. There were very few of us who had a knowledge of the history of the company. The pay was low and set on a three tiered system with those hired after a certain date getting a lower top hourly salary than those hired earlier. I fell into the grandfather pay scale and found out to my horror that they were eliminating those associates who made the top pay for younger ones who would max out at less. Many of our stores were understaffed and we always had a surplus of new, newer or newest employees who were untrained or untrainable. They asked more of them or us than was possible to produce without experience. and time.
Only a favored few who had family relatives in executive positions got promoted to those higher paying jobs. Many of them got burned out as well. I think the corporate culture has now changed but it was too late for the Atlanta area. Our stores were dirty always short handed. It was a tough, thankless job. No bonuses ever

Where Are the Sale Items?
Posted by
ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- Did you find everything OK? That's always the question at checkout, so when someone says no they are taken aback. That's the problem that arose for me at the Orlando Winn Dixie on Curry Ford Rd. When I asked about their wine sale or where is the organic spaghetti sauce the answer is the same "I'm sorry we don't carry that item here" but we let you know with the disclaimer "Items not in all stores".
Shall I call you beforehand with my list? Hello Winn DIxie management ..If you're throwing a sale at least have an end cap or display for each store. Is that hard for you folks to grasp?

Not Honoring Winn Dixie Fuel Perks For What It Is Worth
Posted by
AUBURNDALE, FLORIDA -- When I first starting getting my gas at the Circle K (shell oil) gas station I was using Winn Dixie fuel perks awards. I had no problems. But now, as of today the gas station is not fully honoring the full fuel perks. My son in law called Winn Dixie customer service to complain about not honoring the full fuel perks. Desiree was very sarcastic and refused to help us about the matter. I am very upset about this because this is way I spend my money at Winn Dixie. I spend more than 400.00 a month. If this is not resolved and corrected and give me my full fuel perks I will go shop at Publix and Wal Mart. I went to the gas station expecting my gas to be. 49 cents a gallon with the perks and also the. 90 reward. After I got home I checked my receipt and it was 1.509 per gallon and no perk rewards and on top of it all they now stop pumping at 20 gallons and no more. This is wrong because it is not on the receipt that there is only a 20 gallon limit. I paid 30.18 for 20 gallons of gas in which it was only supposed to be. 49 per gallon plus fuel perks. There were no fuel perks involved.
Other people have filed consumer complaints against Winn Dixie over this matter. It may be also linked to an investigation now being conducted by the Federal Trades Commission in Washington DC. Lets put a stop to this now before we loose Winn Dixie because after all I would rather show at Winn Dixie than any other store but I do not like being scammed by anyone or any company.

I don't know how fuel perks are supposed to work, but if you paid $1.50 a gallon, you sure got some kind of a helluva deal. I paid $3.65 a gallon this morning.
In our area, Stop & Shop offer a discount on gas. I know they cap it at 20 gallons at a time, I think that is pretty standard.

Card discounts
Posted by
PALM BAY, FLORIDA -- I am writing about Winn Dixie on Malabar and Minton in Palm Bay, Florida, this store, gives discounts if one has a membership card, the products have two sets of prices, with and without membership card, I have noticed on two occations that the discounted price does not ring up at the register, the first time I got the store managers attention and was given the excuse that the person who put the meats out had not had a chance to change the price in the system, at that time I was given the discounted membership price, just yesterday I went there to buy some stew meat, I used the self check out register, along with the stew meat I also bought some cookies which were. 99 cents and by one get one free, when I rang up, it I needed assistance to get the price corrected, the cashier had an attitude, but gave me the discount, I later noticed that the meat had rung up at the 16.00 instead of the 11.00 which was the advertised price with card, they are such rip offs, beware and check your receipts...

I have had similar experiences with these discounts at other stores. Giant foods, at one time, had a policy that if the price did not ring up as indicated at the register the item was free. Alas, this has ended. I can understand the store "not having a chance" to put an item in as a discount from time to time, but the attitude you were given by the store personnel is not acceptable.

Fuel Perks Program is a Fraud
Posted by
FLORIDA -- The Fuel Perks program at Winn-Dixie is a fraud. The items on the Fuel Perks program are those items either they are trying to get rid of, or are the most profit boosting items for the company. This means the customer is spending more. The program is also bringing in clientel that stores like Publix, Fresh Market, and the upscale supermarkets frown upon. Back in the past, Winn-Dixie catered to the hard working, blue collar worker. Today that ideal has reversed to those who live off of government benefits (WIC, Food Stamps, etc). When was the last time you saw a LARGE number of WIC customers shopping at a Publix or Fresh Market? What many may not realize is that Winn-Dixie is not about the customer, but is about the money they make. Now that they are bought over by Bi-Lo, you will notice even more the prices going up. I realize also that the Fuel Perks program is not going to last forever, and eventually they will kill the program without customers even knowing it. If you really think you are getting a bargin by shopping at Winn-Dixie then go ahead and throw your money away.

You obviously don't understand how the Fuel Perks program works. Yes, some of their items give you more points if you buy them and they may be items you describe. But if you use your Fuel Perks card at checkout, ALL items bought at that time, whether with extra points or not count toward the program and give you points. Anything you buy in the store using the card counts toward the points. Every 50 dollars you spend gives you five cents off on a gallon of gas up to 20 gallons. The more money you spend the more you get off per gallon of gas. It doesn't matter if you are buying those certain fuel perk items or not, all your purchases count. I have used it several times and received as much as forty cents a gallon off on a tank of gas.
Maybe in your area its different, but in mine, I see no difference in the clientele that shop at Winn Dixie and those that shop at Publix and other upscale markets you speak of. I see hard working blue collar, as well as WIC, and public assistance people shopping both at Winn Dixie and Publix.
olie on 05/05/2012:
WIC is the Women, Infants, and Children program. WIC participants are generally WORKING women who earn less than a certain amount per month, depending on family size. WIC limits the allowed foods--veggies, fruits, cereal, milk, cheese--unlike food stamps.
Benefits are available to pregnant or nursing women. Once the woman stops nursing(or if she chooses formula), the program pays for formula and baby food until the child reaches a certain age. Or Mom's income rises enough to make the family ineligible.
The program also provides food for "young" children. You can google the program to find out exact details.
WIC is a hand UP, not a hand OUT.

Good on you Olie

Gas perks scam
Posted by
SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA -- When Winn Dixie offered perks for cheaper gas we thought this is a great idea. But when we discovered that Winn Dixie uses the "Higher" priced gas stations, that are NOT convenient to the area we shop in, we quickly saw the scam. These operators (more often than not) screw up the Winn Dixie card, then charge you for the higher priced fuel. If you choose to argue with them, they run you through hoops trying to discourage you (what with other customers and all)so that you will just leave. We KNOW Winn Dixie knows about these practices. Since Winn Dixie's prices are inflated in the area anyway...it's probably best that we just shop ELSEWHERE. We'll be sure to pass along our gas perk experiences to our Winn Dixie shopping friends.

Does Winn-Dixie also operate their own fuel stations, like Kroger, Giant Eagle, and other grocery chains? If, in your area, they only contract with certain locations of a certain brand of gasoline, you may be better off shopping at a lower-priced store, and apply the savings to your fuel purchase. In some cases, the stores that do offer fuel discounts do charge higher prices on some items.
Amy on 04/01/2012:
I have had no problem with using the card with the cashiers at the gas station and have received the proper discount with no problem each time. My problem comes in with the availability of gas stations. When I started using the card there were only two stations in the area that offered it, now there is only one, and no neither of them were really convenient, but the one I would use when I was in the area sometimes, now it is the one that no longer does it. Yes I had noticed that the prices are a bit higher with these stations, but I would wait until I got a significant discount to offset it. I didn't bother with the five cents a gallon discounts. I don't use Winn Dixie a lot though as their prices are considerably higher on a lot of items than my regular store. I only use them for items I can't find otherwise.

Fuel Perks is a fraud.
will romaine on 05/05/2012:
I'm sick of the stupidity around the fuel perks. I paid 20 dollars for 20 gallons of premium gas 2 weeks ago. Should have cost me well over 80 dollars. Maybe a Scam for the negative bumble brained. They didn't purposely choose the higher priced gas stations. Learn how to shop wisely and vary your choices and the fuel perks add up quickly. Forget the location problem, if a station announced that they would contribute $25 towards your fill-up and all you would have to do is take the 15 min. drive then all the naysayers would come running. And if you knew that gas was often 25 cents cheaper down the road from your regular gas station most would go running. So get smart or stop commenting.

Well sir, you haven't been in Auburndale, Florida have you.
The Winn-Dixie store here is a festering hive of scams and
My MIL went to redeem her fuel perks this past Thursday,
3-21-13 only to be scammed at the pump. Her total fuel
perk amount was $3.10. The actual price of the gas was
$3.59 per gallon, which would have brought the price down
to just 49¢ a gallon with the perks.
What burns our asses was that she DID NOT receive the
full amount of the perks in question. She only received
$1.50 off on her gas purchase, and was only limited to
just 20 gallons at this price. We called their corporate
headquarters to complain, but to no avail. The staff there
was rude and sarchastic.
She bought over $800.00 in merchandise in a two-month
period to grow her perks to that amount ($3.10 off per
gallon) only to be swindled by this pack of criminals.
We are in the process of contacting the Florida Department
Of Consumer Affairs and the Federal Trades Commission
in Washington, DC.
A word to the wise: watch your back and your wallet
around these people lest you get swindled by them.

Not Safe at Winn Dixie
Posted by
PALM BAY, FLORIDA -- I'm 6 months pregnant, so I took a friend and my 15 month old to Winn Dixie to get groceries. I went the Winn Dixie on Malabar rd last week and a girl that used to have a grudge with my friend approached her with my son in the cart, she started screaming and was on my son that's how close! She's threatening to hurt her in uniform on shift!! With my son there! Then threatened she would attack us all in the parking lot when we left!! I called and reported it with 3 different managers and Winn Dixie said that I didn't have enough proof so all she got was a talk...? I was so scared I had to have my husband pick me and the baby up! Threaten a mother and baby?? Never again going there!!!

I would have called the police. That'll get the managers attention then.
Jody on 03/07/2012:
Why did you not call for a manager while you were still in the store? Then if the manager still didn't do anything the police should have been called.
911 a whacko is after me! on 03/07/2012:
Someone is screaming at you like that and you didn't call the police? Why not? I would of called as soon as it started.
JISCal2 on 03/07/2012:
I'm with slim. Forget the managers, call the police!

I'm surprised this didn't create a scene, with witnesses, including the employees.

Slimjim> Excellent advice.
CowboyFan on 03/08/2012:
I would say that "used to have a grudge" is not accurate: "still has a grudge" would be closer.

International Laws on Self-Determination
The right to self-determination — which allows people to secede from a mother state if they so choose — appears in various international conventions, including the founding document of the United Nations.
International Law Dealing with Self-determination and Territorial Integrity
U.N. Founding Charter (Article 1) — 1945
• One purpose of the United Nations is "to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace."
U.N. Resolution 2625 — 1970
• "Every State has the duty to refrain from any forcible action which deprives peoples referred to in the elaboration of the principle of equal rights and self-determination of their right to self-determination and freedom and independence."
• "Nothing in the foregoing paragraphs shall be construed as authorizing or encouraging any action which would dismember, or impair, totally or in part, the territorial integrity or political unity of sovereign and independent states conducting themselves in compliance with the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples and thus possessed of a government representing the whole people belonging to the territory without distinction to race, creed or colour."
African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (Article 20) — 1981
• "All peoples shall have . . . the unquestionable and inalienable right to self-determination. They shall freely determine their political status and shall pursue their economic development according to the policy they have freely chosen."
Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe's Charter of Paris for a New Europe — 1990
• "We affirm that the ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious identity of national minorities will be protected."
• "We reaffirm the equal rights of peoples and their right to self-determination in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations and with the relevant norms of international law, including those related to territorial integrity of states."
Vienna Declaration and Program of Action adopted by World Conference of Human Rights — 1993
• The conference recognizes "the right of peoples to take any legitimate action, in accordance with the Charter of the U.N., to realize their inalienable right of self-determination."
Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States
Signed at Montevideo, 26 December 1933
Entered into Force, 26 December 1934
Article 8 reaffirmed by Protocol, 23 December 1936
Bolivia alone amongst the states represented at the Seventh International Conference of American States did not sign the Convention. The United States of America, Peru, and Brazil ratified the Convention with reservations directly attached to the document.
Article 1
The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states.
Article 2
The federal state shall constitute a sole person in the eyes of international law.
Article 3
The political existence of the state is independent of recognition by the other states. Even before recognition the state has the right to defend its integrity and independence, to provide for its conservation and prosperity, and consequently to organize itself as it sees fit, to legislate upon its interests, administer its services, and to define the jurisdiction and competence of its courts.
The exercise of these rights has no other limitation than the exercise of the rights of other states according to international law.
Article 4
States are juridically equal, enjoy the same rights, and have equal capacity in their exercise. The rights of each one do not depend upon the power which it possesses to assure its exercise, but upon the simple fact of its existence as a person under international law.
Article 5
The fundamental rights of states are not susceptible of being affected in any manner whatsoever.
Article 6
The recognition of a state merely signifies that the state which recognizes it accepts the personality of the other with all the rights and duties determined by international law. Recognition is unconditional and irrevocable.
Article 7
The recognition of a state may be express or tacit. The latter results from any act which implies the intention of recognizing the new state.
Article 8
No state has the right to intervene in the internal or external affairs of another.
Article 9
The jurisdiction of states within the limits of national territory applies to all the inhabitants.
Nationals and foreigners are under the same protection of the law and the national authorities and the foreigners may not claim rights other or more extensive than those of the nationals.
Article 10
The primary interest of states is the conservation of peace. Differences of any nature which arise between them should be settled by recognized pacific methods.
Article 11
The contracting states definitely establish as the rule of their conduct the precise obligation not to recognize territorial acquisitions or special advantages which have been obtained by force whether this consists in the employment of arms, in threatening diplomatic representations, or in any other effective coercive measure. The territory of a state is inviolable and may not be the object of military occupation nor of other measures of force imposed by another state directly or indirectly or for any motive whatever even temporarily.
Article 12
The present Convention shall not affect obligations previously entered into by the High Contracting Parties by virtue of international agreements.
Article 13
The present Convention shall be ratified by the High Contracting Parties in conformity with their respective constitutional procedures. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Uruguay shall transmit authentic certified copies to the governments for the aforementioned purpose of ratification. The instrument of ratification shall be deposited in the archives of the Pan American Union in Washington, which shall notify the signatory governments of said deposit. Such notification shall be considered as an exchange of ratifications.
Article 14
The present Convention will enter into force between the High Contracting Parties in the order in which they deposit their respective ratifications.
Article 15
The present Convention shall remain in force indefinitely but may be denounced by means of one year's notice given to the Pan American Union, which shall transmit it to the other signatory governments. After the expiration of this period the Convention shall cease in its effects as regards the party which denounces but shall remain in effect for the remaining High Contracting Parties.
Article 16
The present Convention shall be open for the adherence and accession of the States which are not signatories. The corresponding instruments shall be deposited in the archives of the Pan American Union which shall communicate them to the other High Contracting Parties.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the following Plenipotentiaries have signed this Convention in Spanish, English, Portuguese and French and hereunto affix their respective seals in the city of Montevideo, Republic of Uruguay, this 26th day of December, 1933.
The Delegation of the United States of America, in signing the Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, does so with the express reservation presented to the Plenary Session of the Conference on December 22, 1933, which reservation reads as follows:
The Delegation of the United States, in voting "yes" on the final vote on this committee recommendation and proposal, makes the same reservation to the eleven articles of the project or proposal that the United States Delegation made to the first ten articles during the final vote in the full Commission, which reservation is in words as follows:
"The policy and attitude of the United States Government toward every important phase of international relationships in this hemisphere could scarcely be made more clear and definite than they have been made by both word and action especially since March 4. I [Secretary of State Cordell Hull, chairman of U.S. delegation] have no disposition therefore to indulge in any repetition or rehearsal of these acts and utterances and shall not do so. Every observing person must by this time thoroughly understand that under the Roosevelt Administration the United States Government is as much opposed as any other government to interference with the freedom, the sovereignty, or other internal affairs or processes of the governments of other nations.
"In addition to numerous acts and utterances in connection with the carrying out of these doctrines and policies, President Roosevelt, during recent weeks, gave out a public statement expressing his disposition to open negotiations with the Cuban Government for the purpose of dealing with the treaty which has existed since 1903. I feel safe in undertaking to say that under our support of the general principle of non-intervention as has been suggested, no government need fear any intervention on the part of the United States under the Roosevelt Administration. I think it unfortunate that during the brief period of this Conference there is apparently not time within which to prepare interpretations and definitions of these fundamental terms that are embraced in the report. Such definitions and interpretations would enable every government to proceed in a uniform way without any difference of opinion or of interpretations. I hope that at the earliest possible date such very important work will be done. In the meantime in case of differences of interpretations and also until they (the proposed doctrines and principles) can be worked out and codified for the common use of every government, I desire to say that the United States Government in all of its international associations and relationships and conduct will follow scrupulously the doctrines and policies which it has pursued since March 4 which are embodied in the different addresses of President Roosevelt since that time and in the recent peace address of myself on the 15th day of December before this Conference and in the law of nations as generally recognized and accepted".
The delegates of Brazil and Peru recorded the following private vote with regard to article 11: "That they accept the doctrine in principle but that they do not consider it codifiable because there are some countries which have not yet signed the Anti-War Pact of Rio de Janeiro 4 of which this doctrine is a part and therefore it does not yet constitute positive international law suitable for codification".

Residents of a soon-to-be-dissolved Capitola mobile home park consider their future.
By Kat Lynch
A COOL coastal breeze flows between the coaches lining the uneven asphalt of the Surf and Sand Mobile Home Park overlooking the Monterey Bay. A community made up largely of retirees, the Capitola park's future is looking dim. While a few residents use the Surf and Sand as the location of a second home, the formerly over-55 park is the only home to many of its residents, and its closure will leave many homeless.
Since owner Ronald Reed inherited the park from his father in 2002, tension has been brewing between residents and their new landlord. Dissatisfied with the rent control governing the Surf and Sand and seeking to increase income from the park, Reed previously offered to sell the property to the residents collectively. Later he changed the offer: he would sell the individual spaces to park residents, creating a housing subdivision and circumventing Capitola's rent control rules. Now he seeks to close and vacate the park.
Reed surprised residents when he announced the decision to clear the park in December of 2008. "I expected to live here for the rest of my life," says Shirley Hill, who recently recovered from a stroke. Already residents have formed three park-buying committees.
"I think the idea is to make a whole lot more money than just selling to another operator or residents," says Sandy Williams, vice president of the Surf and Sand residents association.
Currently representing Reed in his endeavor to clear the family-owned real estate is successful Southern California property rights attorney Mark Alpert. Alpert has represented clients that broke strict rent control agreements at mobile home parks in both Sonoma County and Carson, Calif., near Los Angeles. At the moment Alpert is involved in an effort to turn an Oceanside mobile home rental park into a resident-owned community after the city refused to allow his client to raise rents 70 percent. The move would allow the landowner to set any price he wanted for the spaces and circumvent rent control entirely.
In a 2004 speech before the Property Rights Foundation of America, Alpert revealed one strategy for wearing down his opponents. "Litigation is a strategy that works especially when cities are strapped for money. That often brings them to the table. It has worked for us," he said. "... In essence, what happens is that the cities just get tired of fighting litigation. They can't afford to protect the small group's interest and bust the budget."
Reed is offering residents between $3,000 and $5,000 apiece for relocation expenses, and this worries advocates. "If a park owner can close his or her park and gives homeowners a pittance, that is something that would be quickly copied by other park owners," says Terry Hancock, who represents the low- and moderate-income senior residents of the park through Senior Citizens Legal Services. "This is inadequate for how much people have invested in their homes," he adds.

Sandy Williams notes that some residents have spent upwards of $50,000, and even as much as $400,000, outfitting their coaches with new bathrooms, new countertops, side rooms and skylights. "Many of us have refurbished our homes and added decks. They may have been mobile coming into the park, but they certainly aren't anymore," says Williams. "What are we supposed to do with our homes?"
Alpert does not think of the homes in the kindest light. "I feel bad for residents," he says. "Some people have paid thousands of dollars for their homes." So much for the "glorified tin can[s]," as Alpert referred to them in his Property Rights Foundation of America speech.
Although Reed does not want to get out of the mobile home park business for good--he and his son own another mobile home park together in Spokane County in Washington--he plans to vacate the lot and says he currently has no further plans to develop it. The Surf and Sand residents have until Dec. 31 of this year to vacate the premises, at which point the utilities will be capped.

Congressman Jones,
Thank You for standing up to "speaker" Boehner and voting NO on the tax increase and spending Increase bill last night. I also want to encourage you to remove Boehner as speaker. Our country needs leadership at this time of crisis, and leaders don't kick cans down the road for his grandchildren to pick up later. Please continue to hold to your principles and do what is right for America. The next fight, the Debt Ceiling, is going to be very ugly and Obama is giving every indication that he intends to side-step Congress and raise the ceiling unilaterally by executive order and we need a leader that will draw a line and stand there and not let the executive branch trample the Constitution and the legislative branch. Please stand firm!
Thank You.

A "woo hoo" shout-out to Tom Price!
He's my Rep. and has been pretty solid. Even when I have disagreed with him, he's been open to hearing my opinion.
He holds periodic "telephone town-hall" meetings and will take questions, hear criticisms, etc., from all that participate.
There are rumors that he is going to primary Saxby Chambliss.+2
@Intel Destroys Cable –
This myth has been around for a long time. I remember 25 years ago people were complaining about getting channels they didn't watch. I asked them to ballpark how many channels they normally watch. The average was about 15-20. Even 25 years ago when we only had around 50 channels it was 15-20 that were watched on a standard basis. I then asked what was their normal cable bill. I told them that that was the bundle price for all the channels and it covered maintenance costs and salaries as well. I then had them divide their 15 or 20 channels by their standard bill — that was going to be the cost of one channel.
They went away mumbling and grumbling about profit and being ripped off by capitalism and such but the logic was clear. The TV provider needs a specific amount of money to operate. They're going to charge what will give them that amount and a profit for continued investment and innovation.
Because if they don't get the money they need, you don't get the product you want.+2

The "my new favorite band" is the palest imitation of the late, unlamented G.G. Allin. Google that name for more info than you'd never want to read.
LOL I know, that's how I came across G.O.A.T. I wasn't looking for G.G Allin either but ended up there from watching a video totally unrelated. You know how that goes on YouTube. Allin was into shit, blood and violence. This G.O.A.T. guy just seems to jiggle his junk while singing (badly) songs with dirty lyrics. The other appealing thing about this video is the location and the audience. It's really a charming video for the mentally disturbed, and the rest of us.+2

My youngest son is a die-hard chocolate lover. He adores it and when he gets the chance, he requests it for everything. I'm sure if chocolate coated meatballs was offered, he'd be all over that. But it's not. Cause it sounds gross. Now chocolate pancakes, that I could work with!
This is my go-to fluffy pancake recipe, altered for the cocoa addition. Now before you go running for a gallon of milk, know that these pancakes are really not overly sweet like you'd think! I did add honey to counteract the bitter taste of the cocoa. What adds the over-the-top sweetness are the pancake toppings! Now, when I took these photos, it was my chocolate lover's birthday. So I was a bit more lenient than I normally would have been, had it been an average school day. Birthdays call for special toppings, like Raspberry Kodiak syrup and whipped cream! On normal days, why, you could top these with a drizzle of syrup and fresh fruit and they'd be amazing. I mean, c'mon, they're chocolate pancakes.
Chocolate Pancakes
1 cup flour
2 TBSP brown sugar
2 TBSP honey
2 TBSP baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 TBSP vegetable oil
2-3 TBSP cocoa powder
2 TBSP mini chocolate chips {
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Let sit while the griddle is warming.
|Batter will begin to bubble as it sits. This is GOOD! It makes for fluffy pancakes!
Serve with butter and syrup, jam, or Raspberry Kodiak syrup for a special treat! Top with berries and voila- chocolate pancakes for breakfast!
|Find it at Costco and buy as many bottles as you can! It's AMAZING!

Is the amount of baking powder and salt correct? I'm not experienced in recipes like this, but it seems like a lot to me.ReplyDelete
It's correct! The amount of baking powder you put in pancakes correlates to how fluffy they are. I based this recipe off one I got from a friend and that actually called for MORE baking powder. I like this amount though as the pancakes hold together better. Too little baking powder and your have flat pancakes... too much and your pancakes crumble.ReplyDelete
Try them- you'll like them! :)
I just made this for our Valentine's Day breakfast. Yummy!! The were great but maybe next time I'll add a bit more cocoa powder.ReplyDelete

Boeing's new Cyber Engagement Center had humble beginnings.
"Our original vision was a conference room with a couple personal computers, a couple screens," said Roger Krone, president of Boeing Network & Space Systems.
But with cyberattacks against government and business customers increasing rapidly, Boeing determined it needed something bigger. The center, located in Annapolis Junction, Md., blossomed into a 32,000-square-foot facility packed with dozens of advanced computers, walls of large display screens and a suite of cutting-edge mobile devices.
"There are no more flat screens at Best Buy," Krone joked. "We have consumed every big screen in Eastern Maryland."
On Oct. 25, Boeing held a grand opening to unveil the center to government officials, industry partners and journalists. The center offers the convenience of one-stop shopping to customers who need to develop ways to better secure network applications, mobile environments and critical physical infrastructure.
"Every day, there are thousands of new threats that appear. This center provides a unique opportunity for us to enhance the public/private partnership that is essential to protect the critical interests that are currently being threatened."
"Every day, there are thousands of new threats that appear," said Dewey Houck, vice president and general manager of Boeing Information Solutions. "This center provides a unique opportunity for us to enhance the public/private partnership that is essential to protect the critical interests that are currently being threatened."
The facility will also help protect Boeing's own network.
"We have about 300,000 people that access the network every day," said Kim Hammonds, Boeing's chief information officer. "Our potential cyber attacks have increased about threefold since just last year. We have a lot of technical expertise both from a cybersecurity perspective, from a forensics perspective, that will be in here ensuring that we're protecting The Boeing Company 24/7, 365 days a year."
Dennis Muilenburg, president and CEO of Boeing Defense, Space & Security, said the center combines the best of Boeing technology and talent.
"This is a team that's going to come up with new ways to innovate -- new cyber solutions that we don't even know what they might look like today -- but we know that they will be exciting and they will change the world," Muilenburg said.

What Is PROCRIT®?
PROCRIT® is part of a category of medicines called erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). It is used for the treatment of anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease who are not on dialysis to raise or maintain the red blood cell level and to reduce the need for blood transfusions. ESAs are not the only treatments for anemia caused by chronic kidney disease. Other treatments include iron and blood transfusions.
PROCRIT® is a man-made form of erythropoietin that causes your bone marrow to make more red blood cells. This, in turn, raises your hemoglobin level and may reduce the need for a blood transfusion. The rise in hemoglobin is not immediate. It usually takes 2 to 6 weeks before the number of red blood cells increases in your body. Individual results with PROCRIT® may vary.
There are many different types of side effects that can occur with PROCRIT®. Using PROCRIT® can lead to death or other serious side effects:
These are not all the possible side effects of PROCRIT®. Your doctor can give you a more complete list. If you are currently taking or considering taking PROCRIT®, you and your doctor should evaluate all risks and benefits associated with this drug. Be sure to read the Medication Guide for PROCRIT® and discuss any questions you have with your doctor. Only you and your doctor can decide if PROCRIT® is right for you.
PROCRIT® is available by prescription only and is administered as a shot (injection).

This is your property ?
The electric gates and fences provide security, but the occupier can draw comfort from the knowledge that they are not isolated. Once inside the gates there is a parking area with a gentle gradient up to the front door and a slope down to the basement where there is a double garage and access to the lower ground floor. Here there is a fully equipped Gym, very large Jacuzzi, Sauna and Steam room and sound system. In addition there is a separate Laundry complete with automatic washing machine and tumble dryer.
Entering the villa at ground floor level you are greeted by an enormous spiral staircase leading down to the lower ground and up to the first floor, this has been specially designed and is constructed out of stainless steel and glass. The stair treads are strengthened glass and have the unique feature of lighting which reacts as you climb the staircase.
The ground floor features an open plan Lounge with soft leather sofa units and a complete entertainment set-up including surround sound and wall mounted 42'' flat screen TV with DVD and full satellite channels. The adjoining Dining area is ideal for entertaining with a large table, this leads to the state of the art Kitchen that is equipped to the highest of standards and has features that make it useable by disabled people. Also on the ground floor there are two large double bedrooms both complete with en-suite bathrooms and CD music systems. One of the bedrooms is designed for the disabled.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

The best singles of 2000
1. ''Stan''
The disquieting Marshall Mathers LP has its share of hooks and dazzling verbiage, but this single brings them all together in one extraordinary flash. Although this detailed story-song about the dark side of fandom could have easily been a novelty, Eminem's increasingly deranged delivery and the beguiling Dido sample (which recontextualizes an ordinary love song into something far more ominous) becomes a chilling comment on fame, fan worship, and responsibility, or lack thereof. And it sounds great on the radio.
2. ''Music''
Those hydrogen-bomb bass lines! Those constantly mutating electronic squiggles and squirms from producer Mirwais! The singer gets into the spirit, too.
3. ''Got It All''
Eve and Jadakiss
From the Ruff Ryders posse, a hip-hop single with it all: a fierce back-and-forth male-female duel, a beat that sulks and sways at the same time, and, best of all, Caribbean steel drums.
4. ''Ms. Jackson''
A wayward father's argument for why he's not around, addressed to the child's grandmother, is just one indication of these Southern hip-hoppers' scope. The music, the most bubbling piece of pop-funk since the heyday of Prince, is another.
5. ''Tell Me Why (The Puzzle)''
Paul Van Dyk
The techno offshoot dubbed trance gave birth to many gems this year, and German DJ Van Dyk's emotive ''Vocal Mix'' collaboration with Saint Etienne is the most transfixing.
6. ''Back Here''
BB Mak
Their American peers wish they could have released a single as sharp and freshly scrubbed as this undeniable nugget from these three young Brits. Boy-band single of the year.
7. ''Beautiful Day''
Remember when rock singles weren't glum, burdened, formulaic, or foaming over with unspecified rage? U2 are old enough to remember those days, and yes, they can still be beautiful things.
8. ''Heaven Scent''
Bedrock A late-'99 release resurrected on the Groove soundtrack, DJ John Digweed's trumpeting trance masterpiece more than lives up to its title.
9. ''I Remember''
Whaling away at his latest victim, old-school folk-blues rapper Everlast, the year's biggest cultural target tosses off the most delicious hip-hop dis since the days of the great LL Cool J-Kool Moe Dee feuds. A 12-inch worth hunting down.
10. ''Never Gonna Come Back Down''
Ex-Soul Coughing leader M. Doughty's caffeinated beat poetry meets electronica whiz kid Brian Transeau's equally jittery pulsations. You'll never want to come back down.

Runner's disappearance prompts changes in AK race
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A rookie's disappearance during a popular extreme race on Alaska's rugged Mount Marathon has led to significant new rules in the event.
Among changes, runners in the July Fourth race must make it halfway up the mountain in an hour or they will have to turn around.
The 900 participants registered for this year's race also must sign a statement saying they've already completed the treacherously steep race course.
The Anchorage-based Alaska Mountain Runners nonprofit will hold two training runs on Mount Marathon June 22 and June 29.
The changes were prompted by the disappearance last year of 65-year-old Michael LeMaitre (lah-MAYT'), who was lagging behind in his first time tackling the mountain. No trace of the Anchorage man was ever found despite numerous searches.

The CX 480 pushes boundaries in induction cooktop design with its highly intuitive technologies
Induction cooking is a hot favourite among chefs and serious cooks for a variety of reasons. With fast heating and precision in temperature setting, induction hobs give you ultimate control over cooking. As one of the leading domestic appliance brand, Gaggenau has taken it a step further with the cutting-edge cooktop concept CX 480.
CX 480 is a full-surface induction cooktop, which allows the entire surface of the cooktop to be one large cooking area. This intuitive design eliminates the need for designated cooking zones. How? It detects the cookware on the surface, and confines heating only to the cookware – no matter the shape or size. An extra-large thin-film transistor (TFT) touch display screen indicates the shape, size and position of the cookware.
In addition, this design also allows the induction cooktop to be converted into a teppan yaki. All you need is the optional teppan yaki plate, which is available in two sizes. It's no wonder then that the made-in-Germany CX 480 has won design accolades, among which are the iF communication design award for the extra-large TFT colour touch display, as well as the iF product design award in gold given to designer Soren Strayle for his innovative design.
CX 480 is now available at the Gaggenau Experience Centre and its authorized dealers.

I'm actually doing this exact thing right now. I personally mix the Finacea with the AHA+ because applying the Finacea alone is kind of difficult, since it goes on dry and absorbs really fast. I found myself over-applying it, as a result, and in the end it leaves the skin dry and slightly cakey due to its creamy texture (even though it's marketed as a gel). I've done a lot of research online and found that people are much happier when they mix it in with their moisturizer and it still produces great results because you really only need a bit of it to work its magic.
After doing much reading, I reasoned that since I've moisturized with the AHA+ before and found that it works wonders on flakiness, helps with sebaceous filaments, and overall skin texture, why not mix it with the Finacea?
My assessment? It works pretty damn good, son. The active ingredient in Finacea -- azaleic acid -- is itself an AHA and I believe it can work effectively in tandem with the glycolic acid in Dan's formulation. I found that they compliment one another in that I prefer mixing the two rather than using either one by itself. AHA+ alone leaves the skin kinda greasy-looking and sticky, while the Finacea goes on dry, as I previously mentioned. Together, they appear to reach a happy medium and I like it a lot.
Some people may think that the combination is too intense, but I found that my skin has absolutely no problems with alpha hydroxy acids in general. If you can tolerate either one by itself, there should be no problems when used together. I actually found the Finacea to produce more itchy sensations when used alone than when it's mixed in with the AHA+. Having said that, skin and skin reactions are different, so listen to your epidermis. I personally can't stand things like BP and tea tree oil, but this works wonderfully.
Let me know how it goes.

text: Sebelius responded today, saying that while the situation is "incredibly agonizing", she will not step in. The situation as Sebelius coldly notes, is one in which "someone lives and someone dies". - See more at: http://menrec.com/obamas-first-deat...-lives-and-someone-dies/#sthash.XKW23Bfw.dpuf What else can be said Sebelius is a cold hard bitch. Wonder if it was her daughter if her remark would be the same.

Hourglass Cowl
The cowl is made using two stitch patterns which are complex in appearance but simple to knit. A bonus is the fact that the Hourglass pattern has a very attractive "wrong side" (second photo), and the diagonal rib is of course reversible. Hence two cowls in one! The cowl is ideal for a worsted-weight yarn, but could also be worked in DK or Aran weight, on an appropriate needle size. Cascade 220 makes a satisfyingly crunchy cowl with good body. A yarn with more drape and sheen would also give lovely results. A tweed yarn could be stunning as well….
Designer's note to non-Ravelry knitters: Please be aware that some of the photos you see here represent projects made with a different yarn weight, a different number of pattern repeats and/or a different needle size. The cowl in the top two photos is the original sample.
