However, despite popular belief that sun light sterilizes surfaces, beach sand harbors microbes harmful to human health, often in concentrations greater than the beach water. Currently, there are no standards for monitoring, sampling, analyzing, or managing beach sand quality. Growing evidence has identified pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites in a variety of beach sands worldwide. Regulatory agencies need to address this problem: Quality needs to be monitored, contaminations need to be controlled and the public should be made aware of where to rest and what children play with on a day spent at the beach." To address these needs, European and US scientists are planning to discuss the public health risks when people use beach sand and beach water for recreation. This discussion and development of appropriate regulations for beach water and beach sand are the objectives for an international conference in Lisbon, Portugal scheduled to take place in September of 2014 (www.temph2014.com). The final report of this conference will be sent to the major regulatory and advisory agencies (USEPA, WHO, European Union) for possible implementation.

Blogger now features a true preview
For years, bloggers cursed the lack of a real preview function in Blogger, one of the most popular blog platforms.
After you wrote a blogpost, the 'old' preview button used to bring up a pop-up screen which gave a 'kinda' preview of your post, which did not take into account most styling options you had in your template. That made the preview button close to useless.
It looked like Blogger is listening to its users now. After implementing an easy way to change your template template, the Blogger preview is now a "real preview": Hit the "Preview button" and by gosh, close to what WordPress had for years already, a new window comes up, showing exactly how your blogpost will show up after you publish it, with a ribbon across the left corner saying 'Preview', in your localized language:

John Tavares
John Tavares (born September 20, 1990) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre, an alternate captain for the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected first overall by the Islanders in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Tavares then signed a three-year, entry-level contract in July 2009. Previously, Tavares competed at the major junior level as a member of the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) before being traded to the London Knights at the 2009 OHL trading deadline with Michael Del Zotto. He broke into the OHL after gaining "exceptional player" status at the age of 14, allowing the Oshawa Generals to select him in the OHL Priority Draft as an underage player in 2005. Tavares was named the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Rookie of the Year in 2006 and CHL Player of the Year in 2007, a year in which he broke Wayne Gretzky's OHL record of 70 goals in one season. In 2009, he finished the season with a career total of 215 goals, breaking Peter Lee's OHL record by two. Tavares was the focus of an unsuccessful push to have the NHL's draft rules changed to allow him to participate in the 2008 Entry Draft, as well as an attempt to allow him to play  ( Wikipedia article )

It is usually the second or third service pack that brings the real stability/performance/reliability. First service pack allows early adopters to build test labs that aren't too horrifically broken.
Anyway Service Packs are a thing of the past now. Monthly/Quarterly Update Roll-ups (or Cumulative Updates for Exch/Lync/SQL etc) are the new thing.
Historically the development of the Second/Third service packs usually coincides with the research by the Windows Internals book team. To me it looks a lot like that in developing the public facing documentation, the actual internals are brought into line with expectation.

Chatwood, who was activated from the 15-day DL before the game, tried to catch Mike Leake's line drive up the middle with his bare hand. He was looked at by a team trainer and stayed in the game.
He allowed a two-run homer to Shin-Soo Choo and walked the next two batters before leaving. He was replaced by righty Adam Ottavino.
Chatwood (7-4) was making his first start since going on the DL with elbow inflammation on Aug. 8.

|I found these in my Grammas old jewelry box today! I've see some listed for as much as $150 each. Anyone know more about them? I believe they were meant for bedroom doors. I plan on hanging them on our bedroom doors!
Follow-Up Postings:
|Why do you think they were for bedroom doors? Very charming idea! They must not be large if found in Gramma's jewelry box. Do you have an idea of age, given they were Gramma's pieces? What a nice find! How do they hang?
|Be still my heart!!Love Them!
Value? The fact that there are 2 the same in different colors would lend a lot to the value of each...
Think you would want to insure the pair for $200.
Theya re great!

|They are about 4" high and 2" wide. There are holes for screws under the bows and baskets. I read it mentioned on a site that quite often they were hung on bedroom doors.
|How do you know they're Hubley's? Just wondered. I live in Lancaster Co and Hubley's were located here and made lots and lots of doorstops, banks, toys and other metal ware items.
They were inexpensive when made in the 30's, 40's and 50's but now they bring a good price at auctions. Or they did, before the collectible market crashed.

American Electric Power And Utilidata Announce Agreement To Develop Next Generation Of Grid Applications
"Having our team provide a utility perspective to the developers and engineers at Utilidata's innovative smart grid development center in Providence is the kind of approach that the industry needs to ensure that the next generation of smart grid products meet the requirements and standards that large utilities like AEP will need to address grid challenges over the next decade," said Tom Jobes, Director of Distribution Reliability Planning & Engineering at AEP. "Having input and visibility into the functionality of advanced utility automation applications will allow AEP to prepare our grid for the way our customers will consume electric energy in the future."
About American Electric Power
American Electric Power is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states. AEP ranks among the nation's largest generators of electricity, owning nearly 38,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the U.S. AEP also owns the nation's largest electricity transmission system, a nearly 39,000-mile network that includes more 765-kilovolt extra-high voltage transmission lines than all other U.S. transmission systems combined. AEP's transmission system directly or indirectly serves about 10 percent of the electricity demand in the Eastern Interconnection, the interconnected transmission system that covers 38 eastern and central U.S. states and eastern Canada, and approximately 11 percent of the electricity demand in ERCOT, the transmission system that covers much of Texas. AEP's utility units operate as AEP Ohio, AEP Texas, Appalachian Power (in Virginia and West Virginia), AEP Appalachian Power (in Tennessee), Indiana Michigan Power, Kentucky Power, Public Service Company of Oklahoma, and Southwestern Electric Power Company (in Arkansas, Louisiana and east and north Texas).

Mix a helicopter flying, Hollywood movie mogul and a rooftop helipad atop a 10-story hotel in the middle of a quiet Los Angeles residential neighborhood, and what do you get? Trouble.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Sofitel hotel in Los Angeles is the center of a controversy stemming from movie mogul Ryan Kavanaugh's use of its helipad last fall to commute from his home in Malibu.
The helipad was supposed to be off-limits, except for emergencies.
The hotel's neighbors complained of "helicopter noise, rattling windows, waking babies and starting dogs at all hours of the day," the Times says, and eventually some of them figured out who was behind the noise.
They blame Ryan Kavanaugh, a 36-year-old who started off co-financing movies at Universal and Sony, and now runs Relativity, which this month releases "Limitless."
He was using the helipad so he could commute from his Malibu home, the story says.
For those of you who are familiar with L.A., the hotel's opposite the Beverly Center at the corner of La Cienega and Beverly Boulevard. Relativity's based a few blocks away from the Sofitel.
Now the hotel's seeking a permit that would allow all commercial landings and takeoffs.
After they investigated, they realized it came from Hollywood producer Ryan Kavanaugh, commuting from his Malibu home to his nearby studio and to appointments around town.
Since the 1970s, all buildings over 75 feet tall in LA have been required to have emergency helicopter landing pads. The 10-story Sofitel is a few blocks away. Kavanaugh, 36, is a brash personality with celeb friends.
In December, the California Department of Transportation - which issues permits for helipads - sent a terse letter to hotel management ordering that any illegal helicopter activity cease immediately.
Adam Keen, a spokesman for Relativity Media and Kavanaugh said, "The minute Mr. Kavanaugh found out there was a permitting issue with the Sofitel, he stopped landing there immediately and he would not land anywhere in the city that does not have the correct and needed permits."
The hotel, however, plans to apply for a temp helipad permit to allow for more takeoffs and landings. Residents were told that hours/flights would be limited. Sofitel General Manager Gunther Zweimuller said the temporary permit would "simply allow Sofitel to explore the possibility of providing an additional exclusive luxury amenity for our guests."
No official application has been submitted yet, but the hotel, which is in Los Angeles, has already won influential backing. Last week, L.A. City Councilman Paul Koretz sent a letter to Caltrans in support of the temporary permit.
PATCH: http://westhollywood.patch.com/articles/proposed-helicopter-landings-has-residents-making-noiseNeighbors worry about sound and safety
"The Sofitel wants to be able to offer something unique," said Mike Leary, a consultant working with the hotel on the proposal. "It's a lifestyle choice that few hotels can offer."
HOTEL built in 1986. 10 story tall building. Cost about $150,000, story says.
NO OTHER HOTELS HAVE ONE BC they predate a 30 year old law...

Not only did the Panamanian forward score twice in the Copa Centroamericana while on international duty, but he also bagged a brace for FC Dallas in a 2-1 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday to earn an MLS Player of the Week award.
Super Raton has a chance to win another award based on his stellar week as his first goal against Vancouver is nominated for AT&T MLS Goal of the Week. You can watch the video above to check out the "competition" if you want, but you might as well save yourself the time and just vote for Blas now.
Voting runs until 11:59 pm PT on Thursdays. For complete coverage of the AT&T MLS Goal of the Week — including an archive of all of this season's nominees and winners — click here.
FC Dallas earned a critical 2-1 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Toyota Stadium Saturday night. The first half highlights include a RIDICULOUS goal by Panamanian forward Blas Perez who just rejoined the club from national team duty. Seriously though, check out that goal:
Vancouver leveled the match in the second half when forward Erik Hurtado blasted a shot past Raul Fernandez on the counter attack. But Super Raton had the last word, tucking home a rebound off a free kick to earn himself a brace and three more points for FC Dallas:
Scott and Daniel preview FCD's huge Western Conference battle this Saturday against Vancouver Whitecaps FC:
All the best action from FC Dallas' narrow 2-1 loss to Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium:
Head coach Oscar Pareja and rookie forward Tesho Akindele talk about FCD's upcoming match against Real Salt Lake.
It's been three years since Bobby Rhine passed away. It doesn't feel like it could've possibly been that long ago.
Bobby (below right, celebrating a goal scored by now-head coach Oscar Pareja in Pareja's final professional match) was one of the genuinely nicest people I've ever known. I was lucky enough to work with him on a daily basis for a little over a year. Even when I was an intern brand new to the world of Major League Soccer, Bobby went out of his way to make me feel welcome at FC Dallas. He had a unique ability to lighten the mood and make you feel like he was one of your oldest friends.
Bobby was also a better ambassador for the Beautiful Game than FCD could've asked for, and he set the bar for what a club icon should be.
He was drafted by the Dallas Burn sixth overall in the 1999 MLS College Draft. From that point on, Bobby made Dallas his home.
He spent his entire 10-year playing career in a Burn/FC Dallas jersey (212 games played, 23 goals and 34 assists). Bobby met his wife here and started a family here. And after he hung up his boots in 2008, he became the voice of the club as he transitioned into a broadcasting career.
The FC Dallas family - and North American Soccer Community as a whole - was shocked by Bobby's sudden passing in September of 2011.
It's impossible to put into words what Bobby meant to those who knew him, but I highly recommend Nick Firchau's in-depth article from a year ago.
FC Dallas carries on Bobby's memory in a number of ways; the "Forever Our Voice" banner that hangs from the Toyota Stadium press box, an annual youth soccer tournament that bears his name, and for the third year in a row, FC Dallas staff, ownership, fans and partners will come together for the American Heart Association Heart Walk in Dallas.
You can sign up to join team BR19 here, and walk with us as we pay respect to the man who will be Forever Our Voice.
We're in the first days of a new month and that means it's time to unveil the latest edition in our 2014 Scarf of the Month series.

Facebook Inc. (FB:US)'s value jumped 13-fold in private trading in the four years before its initial public offering yesterday, outperforming Apple Inc. (AAPL:US) and Google Inc., based on data from SecondMarket Inc.
Trading starting in April 2008 valued the company at $8.1 billion, SecondMarket said today in a statement. That value surged to $106.8 billion as of April 5, the day that the private-stock marketplace stopped holding auctions. In the same period, Google gained 36 percent and Apple more than quadrupled.
Facebook's IPO pricing gives the social-network website market value of $104.2 billion, making it the largest company to go public in the U.S. by market capitalization. The trading and valuation in the private market started to accelerate in late 2010 and early 2011, after SecondMarket began weekly auctions of the stock. About 86 percent of sellers were former employees, while 85 percent of buyers were institutional investors such as asset managers or hedge funds.
"The runup really started when it became much more clear that they were going to do an IPO and soon," said Espen Robak, president of New York-based Pluris Valuation Advisors LLC, in an interview.
The $38 offering price today for 421.2 million shares gives Menlo Park, California-based Facebook a smaller market value than on April 5 in the private market. At that price, Facebook is about half the size of Mountain View, California-based Google. The world's largest search engine has a market capitalization of more than $200 billion.
"The IPO price is definitely a low number compared to what everyone has been playing with in the private market," Robak said.
Investors in the private market were able to capture returns before the company went public, said Boyd Steinhoff, vice president at SecondMarket in New York.
"What this private market has become in the last years is really a reinvention of what the IPO market used to be for small-cap companies," Steinhoff said.

The Centers for Disease Control reports that nearly 1 in 10 Americans are affected by depression and on Monday, August 11 it was brought to light that Robin Williams was one of them.
President Barack Obama may have summed it up best when he said, "Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien — but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit."
So today begs the question, "Why?" Why would someone who made such an impact in our lives, take his own life? The answer to that we may never know, but a tragedy like this serves as a reminder that most of us could probably stand to be better equipped to deal with situations like this should they happen in our own lives.
I enlisted the help of Christy Krause, Director for Mary Greeley Medical Center's Behavioral Health Unit, and asked several questions about depression and suicide.
Q: What are some of the signs of depression/suicide?
A: The answer to this is twofold. There are a number of signs, and then there are the factors behind those signs. Someone who is depressed may exhibit feelings of hopelessness. They may suffer from severe anxiety, panic attacks, shame/humiliation, decreased self-esteem, impulsiveness and aggression.
The factors that may increase one's risk for depression/suicide include, but are not limited to: a lack of social support, recent unemployment, health problems, recent stressful life event(s), abuse or a family history of depression/suicide.
To read more about depression, click here.
Q: Why do some people who are depressed commit suicide while others do not?
A: There are certain things associated with a reduced risk of committing suicide. That's not to say that someone who possesses these things wouldn't commit suicide, but these protective behaviors seem to dissuade individuals from doing so: presence of a social support system, problem-solving skills, active participation in treatment, religious commitment, life satisfaction and fear of social disapproval.
Q: Does substance abuse/addiction exacerbate depression/suicide? If so, why?
A: Absolutely. When someone is addicted to something, they want it all the time and when someone is under the influence of substances, their inhibitions are decreased and irrational thinking increases. When they aren't under the influence, they may wish they were which creates an internal conflict, especially if they have sought treatment before. All of these things put them at a higher risk for suicide.
Q: If we have a loved one we think might be depressed and/or suicidal, what can we do about it?
A: First off, talk to them. Let them know that you've noticed they aren't themselves and that you want to help. Ask why they're depressed and what you can do for them to help. Take whatever reasons they give you seriously.
Listen without judging and seek to understand. Don't interrupt or blame and remember that depression is an illness, not a choice. If they are a substance abuser, encourage them not to use as it makes them more vulnerable. You should also advise them to seek professional help and take any threat of suicide seriously. We've all heard stories about people who have committed suicide and had told someone, but they thought it was a joke. If a person threatens suicide, that means the thought has crossed their mind and the last thing we should do is pretend everything is okay.

GT Karakoram Hans Rey 29er Mountain Bike - 2014This extremely limited edition Hans Rey Karakoram is spec'd with excellent components and a custom paint job. Hans Rey's famed insight lifts this 29er hardtail above all others and it's sure to deliver an outstanding overall ride quality.
The hydroformed triple triangle aluminum frame has transcended its role as just another tech story and is identified industry wide as an icon of GT. The triple triangle specifically stiffens the rear triangle which creates a faster, more responsive ride that can keep you moving forward even while taking a beating from the trail.
The Rock Shox XC28 TK fork has a cross country friendly 100mm of travel. It's hydraulically damped, with magnesium lowers and chrome steel uppers. It feaures a handy turn key lockout for long climbs and a rebound adjust for going gets rough.
A Shimano 24-speed drive train gives you plenty of versatility and the Deore XT Shadow rear derailleur is proven to supply exquiste shifts every time. Alivio Rapid-Fire shifters respond well in and out of tight singletrack. Shimano BR-M395 hydraulic brakes with 160mm rotors provide firm stopping power even in less than ideal weather conditions.
Burly Kenda Honey Badger tires are fitted to Jalco double-wall rims for maximum grab, dig, and go. However, the 2.2 width is narrow enough to cut down on unwanted rolling resistance.
Crank Brothers Cobalt series components were chosen by Hans because they offer the greatest balance of low weight to durability. The Cobalt 1 riser has a 15mm rise and a 700mm width in order to navigate tree-crowded single track effectively.
The 2014 GT Karakoram Hans Rey Limited Edition mountain bike is superb and features top notch Shimano and Crank Brothers components. Only a limited number are available worldwide.

Affliction: POB mail junkie.
Religion: Theravada Buddhist. More traditional/literal than most western Theravadins. Follow and regard Buddhism AS A RELIGION. Many would find me "dogmatic" or "doctrinaire", but I'm not overbearing or preachy about it. More negligent lately in my Dhamma practices than I should be. Needn't discuss religion.

Warning: I often "recycle" my e-mails and letters to supplement my mailings. Let me know how you feel about this, and we'll take it from there. I may use letters I receive in my zines---TELL ME CLEARLY "DO NOT PRINT" if you don't want me to.
E-Mail Me If You Must, But Why Not Just Send Me Paper Mail at my POB! Zines, Movies, Mix Tapes, Etc. Also Welcome! Will Answer All!
MY TRADE POLICY: No need to arrange trades via e-mail. Just send me your zine via the USPS and I'll reciprocate! When my zine reaches you, it's yours to do with what you like, but I'd be grateful if you didn't destroy or "recycle" it with the newspapers---I bled an ocean and cried a river of tears creating my zines, and paid a pretty penny to print them. Please, pass it on to somebody who'd enjoy them, if you can. I try to "read the situation" and treat zines I get according to how their makers would like, but if you have any "do's, don't or druthers" about how you'd like your zine "disposed of" or "passed on" it'd be best to make these clear. THANKS!

I ordered a Scream Factory ages ago (or maybe got it gratis, for review), the 1995/96 issue. At first I wasn't impressed when I read it, but it sort of grew on me, and I now think it was pretty exceptional.
I'd like to get and/or at least borrow the whole collection, but I don't want it bad enough to pay the $15 a copy it's going for on eBay.
Does anybody on WMZ have the whole collection? Does anybody know if a zine library does? Would anybody be willing to do a trade. …Continue

A couple weeks ago I ordered a couple inkjet cartridges from an Amazon.com seller. They e-mailed the estimated arrival time of July 11, then July 16. By Saturday it hadn't come, so I thought I'd better see what's going on. As usual, it took some scrutiny to find out what links led to the tracking. There was no link to it on the shipping confirmation page like other companies I shop with. I had to guess by clicking on other links until it led me to tracking.

James, wondering if you ever received issue 2 of my zine?
James, I got your latest Junk Zine, and am very grateful for it. I have a new addy once again, the old one is now solely inhabited by my ex wife... I will be writing soon, and sending you a little something you've been wanting that I happen to have. Your zine also got me a few contacts as well. Thanks for staying in touch.
-Paul, Arcane Angles
Sorry for being so late in replying. I recently divorced, moved, and got attacked by a crazy girlfriend! I will be writing back soon. Hoping to still get a letter of comment on my first zine.
Best regards,
James! I am like panicking right now because I just got a HUGE box of mail that had been sitting in the back of the post office since July (see my blog post)! THANK YOU so much for your Zines for Troops! donation! I'm still in the middle of processing several months of mail, but I wanted to acknowledge your donation ASAP. I'll be sending you your buttons and adding you to the Honor Roll soon.
Hi James, I know you interact a lot with prisoners. I'm sure you already know that a lot of stuff gets refused at prisons, but here's a new concern about sending zines to prisoners. It would probably be a good idea for zinesters to leave off stickers and other cool-looking add-ons when sending to certain prisons: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/57053440-78/mail-galetka-letters-prison.html.csp
Hi James! I have a confession: I'm starting an online-only zine review thing. I know how you feel about the internet, and wanted to let you know I have your concerns in mind. I am a dedicated fan of the papernet, and am hoping to encourage more people to participate in it. Keep on keepin' on with all your hard paper work! (which sounds like paperwork, but is infinitely cooler) --Kari
Hey James,
I haven't forgotten about you. Going through some major changes, including a move. My letter to you is basically complete, but I am hoping to wrap up Issue #2 of Arcane Angles so I can include that when I send some snail mail your way.
P.S. I moved your comment to the page announcing the project. So if it looks unapproved, it's not--I just copied it and pasted it to what I thought was a better home. :)
Hi James. Thanks for writing with your thoughts about my project. I know you are a pacifist, and that's part of the reason I asked you to participate. It has always interested me that, as a pacifist, you provide a voice for prisoners, many of whom have performed violent acts. So, in what appears to be a respect for all comers as human beings, I thought you were a natural fit to contribute to the leisure time of military members and injured veterans. On that note, I agree with your complaint about the vague promises of "support" to troops. That's why I offer something specific: A contribution to more satisfying leisure time, which is important for overall well-being. As a bonus, that contribution is also intellectual and, often, shares a perspective that might not often be heard in the military. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I would welcome your contribution of any size. I'm sure it would be received with interest, and maybe get you some more letters for your postal fix!
I know I'm taking a while, but its because i'm doing a comic zine that I want to send out. I'm almost done, expect the zines in 1-2 weeks.

New in Theaters - March 23, 2012
NEW YORK, NY (FOX44) – Its game on at the movies, as the first installment of a best-selling book trilogy enters the ring as a potential blockbuster franchise with "The Hunger Games", starring Jennifer Lawrence in the futuristic story about a teen who volunteers to take her sister's place in a brutal fight for survival. It has already broken the record for most pre-sale tickets for a non-sequel. Expect long lines and packed theaters during its opening weekend.
Keeping the action on overdrive, it's martial arts fighting for survival "The Raid: Redemption" follows a special forces team trapped in a building by a crime lord and forced to fight their way out floor-by-floor. Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda helped score the film.
They're up against the big-budget flick "John Carter" which Disney admitted won't make back its rumored 275-million dollar budget. Plus the apparent winning combination of Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, and the big screen remake of the FOX TV series "21 Jump Street" as the number one hit comedy continues to go for laughs.

The Teufelsbrücke ('Devil's Bridge') is a bridge over the Schöllenen Gorge in the Swiss canton of Uri. The bridge provides access to the St. Gotthard Pass by crossing the gorge and the Reuss River below.
It is named for an old local legend regarding its construction by the Devil, one of many old European Devil's Bridges with similar creation myths.
First bridge[edit]
The Schöllenen Gorge (Schöllenenschlucht) is an important access route to the St. Gotthard Pass. However, the valley is very narrow, featuring the dangerous river Reuss. The first bridge across the river was built in 1230. This was a wooden bridge and had to be replaced often owing to weather damage.
In the 16th century, the bridge was rebuilt in stone. In 1799, this bridge witnessed one of the most dramatic battles of Suvorov's Italian and Swiss expedition which took place during the Napoleonic Wars. During this battle the bridge was heavily damaged by the retreating French army. As a result, trade with Italy took place over the Splügenpass instead.
The first bridge was completely destroyed during a storm in 1888.
Second bridge[edit]
It was not until 1820 that the order to build a new bridge could be given. The construction of the bridge took 10 years. The construction of the Second Bridge is the subject of a famous painting by Karl Blechen in 1830-32.
Third bridge[edit]
By the middle of the 20th century, the second bridge was no longer able to handle the volume of traffic it received. A concrete bridge, featuring two lanes (one for each direction) was built in 1958 to accommodate heavier flow. However, the majority of traffic requiring passage between Airolo and Göschenen travels via either the Gotthard Rail Tunnel or the Gotthard Road Tunnel.
Myth of the creation of the bridge[edit]
According to a local myth, building the first bridge was very hard and so the Devil himself agreed to build it. The condition attached to the construction was that the Devil would get the soul of the first to pass over the bridge. So, when the bridge was finished, people chased a goat over the bridge. Angered by the trick, the Devil went to pick up a large stone (called Teufelsstein, the Devil's Stone) in order to smash the bridge to pieces. On his way to the bridge however, he encountered an old believing woman with a cross. Scared of the cross, he left the stone and fled.
The devil's stone weighs 220 tons and stands near Göschenen. In 1977, the stone was moved 127 meters to make way for the new motorway passing over the St.Gotthard Pass, at a cost of 300,000 Swiss Francs.
Popular belief has it that the moving of the stone was the cause of an increased number of accidents on kilometre 16 on the St. Gotthard road tunnel.[citation needed]

Full Review
I have been an overstock.com customer since 2001, before the big "O" commercials and the advertisements that clutter website tops and bottoms.
The website sells everything from blow dryers to out of country furniture. It's always different merchandise, almost never the same thing for more than a month. Its almost like your local TJ Maxx or Ross only Overstock.com has more selection. Overstock.com is a discount store with overflow merchandise. Most stores only keep stock for a certain amount of time, so they replace the merchandise with new stock and get rid of the old stock. For example if you local department store orders 5000 pairs of "brand" socks and in a months time only sells 4000, Its a good chance that a store like overstock.com will be buying the last 1000 for a bulk price.
I've bought a designer watch for $220 less than it costs in my local mall jewelry store. I've purchased a name brand down comforter for more than 50% less than original price. Recently I have bought 2 pairs of shoes as a gift to my father who has diabetes and has special needs in a shoe. I found great prices on both pairs.
The great thing about overstock.com is that you can find almost anything for a great or better than great price. Also, the shipping is most often only $2.95. You can't beat that!
The cons are strict return policies and the inability to try shoes or clothing on. Most people (not all) don't read the policies word for word. I usually read them and decide if its worth the risk. Well, I just discovered its not worth the risk at overstock.com.
Like I said I purchased two pairs of shoes for my dad. I paid $2.95 for shipping and $99.98 for both pairs of shoes. What a deal! Both pairs of shoes were shipped to me in the same box with the same order number. The shoes unfortunately didnt fit my father. I returned to the website to initiate the return process. First you have to go to your account page. Then you have to go to the returns page. You have to click a button saying you would like to return the item. There all several rules you must follow in order for them to accept your return. You are required to initiate the return within 20 days of the purchase. You must have the original box that the product came in. You must ship the product back in its original condition. You must wait for a confirmation email from overstock.com stating that you are allowed to follow through with the return. This email does not come immediately. Then you have to print out the return email stating your return number. You then put the printed return email into the box that was shipped to you and find a shipping company or USPS to ship it back for you. They advise you to pay for insurance on your return package. Its required that they receive your return within 30 days of purchase date. You are required to write the return number they provided in the email on top of the return package.
Two weeks after I sent the returned shoes to Overstock.com I received two separate emails confirming my return and my credit for the shoes. I have assumed that since the shipment was sent back exactly as I had received them I would only be charged ONE processing fee. I was mistaken. I was charged $4.95 for each item returned. I SHOULD have read the return policy more carefully.
The bottom line of the return is as follows.
$99.98 for two pairs of shoes
$ 2.95 shipping
$102.93 Total
Return fee $4.95 each item
-$2.95 original shipping charge
Refund $90.98
Shipping fee for USPS + insurance $14.98 (shoes were heavy)
I basically PAID $27.83 for shoes I do not have.
This is NOT worth it. So I thought Overstock.com would understand how ridiculous this is. They would surely see that this is not good business. So I went to the customer service page. I found an area you could chat live with a rep from overstock.com. This was our conversation:
Please wait while we find a representative to assist you...
You have been connected to Adria S.
Adria S: Welcome to Overstock.com, Kelly! How may I help you today?
Kelly: I was charged a $4.95 fee twice on one order return. I ordered two pairs of shoes for my dad. They didnt fit him. I returned both and charged $4.95 for each pair even though I ordered them at the same time. They were shipped in the same box and I shipped them back in the same box. So all together it cost me $25.00 just to buy and return two pairs of shoes. Thats not good business
Adria S: Kelly, I will be more than happy to assist you with restocking fees. Please give me a moment to begin researching your issue.
Adria S: May I have the order number?
Kelly: yes I have two even though I ordered them and they were shipped at the same time in the same box. XXXXXXXX. Oops only one sorry.
Adria S: For security purposes, would you please verify the name and billing address on your account?
Kelly: Kelly XXXX
Adria S: Thank you! Would you mind waiting one moment please while I research your account?
Kelly: No problem
Adria S: Kelly, thanks for holding. I apologize for the inconvience, but the policy for return items is that you have to pay a restocking fee for each item. They are not considered 1 item.
Kelly : It's very unfortunate that this is your policy. No one should have to pay out so much money just to return two pairs of shoes that didn't fit someone. Especially during the holiday season. I have told so many people about your site since 2001. I am so disappointed that overstock doesn't value their customers.
Kelly Lyngas: overstock
Adria S: Kelly, we do value our customers, however our policies are clearly stated when you initiate a return on an item. We advise of all fees before the return is accepted.
Adria S: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Kelly: As I said this is unfortunate. I'm sorry you couldnt help me. Have a nice holiday
Adria S: Before you go, could I interest you in our Xbox - Tony Hawk Underground 2 video game? This item sells for $45.95, which is an 8% savings off the regular list price. If you would be interested in purchasing this item, please click the link below to be taken to the product page.
Adria S: Thank you for contacting Overstock.com!
Your session has ended. You may now close this window.
It was frustrating that this $4.95 per item was the policy and knowing my disappointment in the situation they still tried to get in another sale at the end of the conversation.
Overstock.com has a wide variety of merchandise to choose from. The prices are almost always fantastic. The customer service is easy to find and there are several ways to contact them. The shipping fees are very low. So if you know what you want and you know exactly what size, this is the site for you.
I would advise against buying clothes or shoes on overstock.com. The risk is too high! You never want to pay money just to shop. The policy is not a good one if the customer has to pay $27.00 for nothing.
I probably wont shop here again. Its a shame since I have been a customer so long. Its the principal. I should have read the policy more carefully, however its a bad policy.
What product did you purchase or try to purchase?
Dunham Men''s Black Oxford & Brown Oxfords
Response To Review from Merchant
Re: Low prices & Shipping HIGH prices for Returns
Dec 30, 2004
Dear Customer,
Your business is important to us, and I am sorry you have had reason to be concerned with the expenses involved regarding your recent return. We strive to be upfront with all of our policies, and I am sorry if you missed the details of our return policy in the Customer Service section of our website. Please let me explain why we charge a restocking fee, and do not pay for return shipping on an item that is being returned for changed mind or if a customer mistakenly ordered the wrong item.
We do not pay for return shipping for the previously mentioned return reasons and we do charge a restocking fee because there are numerous costs involved in accepting returned merchandise. For example: we must have additional staff to handle the processing, inspection, restocking and to file the necessary paperwork to process the adjustment to inventory and credit back to customer accounts.
To issue return shipping labels for customer returns where the wrong item was ordered, or it did not fit properly, or a customer simply changed their mind would not be cost effective, and would substantially raise our website prices for all consumers. We would only pay for return shipping and waive a restocking fee on a returned item when the reason for return is our error or a carrier issue.
Many online retailers, especially those who deal in clearance and liquidation like us, do not even have a return policy. With them all sales are final and there is no option for return.
The $4.95 restocking fee is deducted on all changed mind returns for non-electronic items purchased from our website. The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs. We do charge a 15% restocking fee on all items returned from the electronics and computer departments. This return policy is stated on our web site and was displayed on your online invoice when you processed your return. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to explain.
I do hope that this experience will not deter you from shopping with us for other products. I would certainly encourage you to contact our Help Desk at email@example.com to address any additional concerns you are having. We truly value your opinion and look forward to your next order with Overstock.com.

I bought some cookware last year with an added steamer.iv been using the pans but that steamer has been sitting in my cuberd untouched.month by month I walked by it thinking I need to use that instead frying our veggies,rice,ect.but still it sat untouched.well recently my dad went for a regerler dr visit and that ended in open heart surgery.he had 5 bypasses done.one of his arteries was 100 % blocked he was a heart attack waiting to happen.the surgeon later told us that his arteries was so bad that most likely he would had had a massive heart attack and possibly not survived .he is obese and has diabetes.plus high blood pressure.I was worried he wouldn't make it as he did have some issues after the surgery.but he doing good now.so today as I was making dinner,I got that steamer down,gave a good washing and steamed our veggies.and they was very good.I have a feeling I will be using the steamer much more the the frying pan from now on.
my dad recently had open heart surgery.he had 5 bypasses.he is doing good though but with his diabieties it is slowing his recovering abit as he is having some small issues that the dr said it is usually the diabetics that do it.like arithmea,hopefully he gets out tomorrow.i havent had time to be on here or to count my food or even do my wii fit.I am exhausted between him and my kids and trying to clean,cook.and when he comes home i will be with him during the day.so it may be a few weeks before i get back in my normal routine.this has gave me the up most respect for people are taking care of a sick parent while still taking care of there own.it truly leaves you exhausted. and grouchy lol.but i wouldnt have it any other way. I lost my mom at a young age and regret i dint do more for her so i wont make that mistake twice.besides its only a few weeks and things will start getting back to normal.then someday my dad will owe me bigtime lol he is 54 btw so still young to have this surgey but he doesnt take care of himself like he should so this was an eye opener to both of us.good luck to all of you with your weight loss
if i was waiting for a wake up call,i got it.as I type this my dad is getting a six bypass heart surgery.he is 54 .it happened so fast but a ekg done at a dr apt showed something .we went to the hospital and he has several blockages one is 100 percent blocked has always liked fast food,overweight,diabetties,.I am heading that way at 255 pounds..after seeing what he has gone though and its far from over.no way do I wana go through this.its horrible.Its horrible to know my dad the strong one who has done so much for me is now having his chest cut open.before he went back for surgery he told me to change my ways so I will not be where he is now.but my poor dad was still talking about how he loves bacon even as the meds was kicking in.but mabe if i show him i can do it he will to.he will be changing but it will be hard and i want him to know he isnt alone in this..it really is sad to see him go through this im trying not to cry as i type this.this has opened my eyes bigtime.
Yesterday i hate kinda bad.candies, fried foods.well today I feel horrible.im tired,slugish,even depressed.sure I felt good while eating it but not so much now.I dint even sleep good last night.for the last 2 weeks iv been eating only organic foods.lots of veggies,fruit and was feeling good.ugh i will remember this next time lol.
I am disapointed with myself I was close to losing 10 pounds when I let stress control me and i gained 6 pounds over 3 days.I have a certain close famliy member that makes my life hell.you know the kind that thinks im a horrible mother and trys to control me.and this person has suceeded in turning certain ones against me.anywho had more drama from this person which caused me to eat alot.well im done with punishing myself.I have decided to cut this person from my life and its like a weight has been lifted from me.i relize this person will never change so its time to move on.Im ready to be healthy inside and out.my husband has helped me relize I have to get rid of mental wieght in order to get rid of the physical weight.btw this person isnt him lol.
