Kerry says Congress will act against Syria
Asked on Sunday what would happen if Congress votes against U.S. military action in Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry echoed comments on Saturday saying the country was stronger by putting it up to a vote.
"We don't contemplate that Congress is going to vote no," Kerry said on CNN's "State of the Union." "We believe this case is powerful and continues to grow by the day."
President Barack Obama has "the right" to act in Syria no matter what Congress does, Kerry added, but said that the country and its allies would be stronger with congressional support.
"We have confidence there are good people in the Congress of the United States," Kerry said, noting the importance of protecting allies in the region, like Israel and Jordan.

Homeowners are looking for rooms that don't require a lot of work, which is why a bathroom renovation can make the biggest impact on your resell value.

Chennai's Semmozhi Poonga with its green canopy and lush environs is scheduled to open soon. Anusha Parthasarathy takes a walk through the garden
Splashes of rich colour, pruned grass, a snaking rock waterfall that ends in a lily pond and artistically-bound bonsai are only a part of the six-and-a-half acres of land that have been converted into a botanical garden, the Semmozhi Poonga, on the fringes of Cathedral Road, at a location once better known as the Woodlands Drive-in.
At the entrance of the garden is a welcome mount, with Korean grass giving it a fresh green tinge, while the inside houses a vertical garden of over 200 plants of 35 varieties. The wall of shaded green is an interesting concept, and took about two weeks to set up. Walk a little ahead through the Palm Court and the first creeper-covered pergola (there are three in total) and you enter the garden, divided into 10 sections with different kinds of gardening concepts.
Concept gardens
"The idea was to maximise utilisation of space and so, the themes are all based on gardening concepts. They can be huge gardens on their own but we've fitted various garden themes into this area," says B. Chandra Mohan, Director, Horticulture and Plantation Crops.
The 7.96-crore project has up to 300 different varieties of plants, a cascade waterfall, an amphitheatre and a sequence fountain. "The plants have been sourced from all over the country, and even from China. They were handpicked based on how they adapt to Chennai's climate," he points out.
The golden garden is a short canopy of yellow flower and leaf plants after which comes the children's play area. There is a readymade gazebo put up at the corner and another one being constructed at the other end of the park.
As you pass the calming yellow shade, the perfume from the flowers in the aroma garden wafts through. Lavender, rose, gardenia and plumeria are a few of the scented plant varieties, including the night queen and day queen, in this space. The shade garden is home to varieties of indoor plants. "This is the first time such indoor potted plants will be showcased in open shade," says Vijay Ram, the horticulture officer in-charge. The butterfly garden is a haven of netted plants with a small bunch of symbolic Oxalis triangularis , a plant that looks like a spread-winged butterfly from the top.
Walk further down the cobblestone pathway and you'll find the falls that opens into a big pond spread across the park. Hardy plants come up next to the falls. Cactii and pachipodium are varieties that don't need much water. The fern garden which houses non-flowering plants and an exotic garden with rare Indian plant species is up next. The herbal garden holds 25 varieties of herbal plants such as lemongrass, philanthus, gooseberries, vasambu and thulsi among others.
There is a theme garden that has about 14 varieties of bamboo. This leads straight to the pond garden, a melange of water plants and palms.
On the other side of the pond is a mural walk, a coarse pebble bed that branches out in the shape of a large tree. Then comes a spiral pathway with plants on either side. "This is a maze garden. These plants will grow and cover the entire space and people will be allowed in and asked to find their way out," Vijay says.
The moss-covered swamp and the bonsai garden come next.
"The entire garden concept took about three months to decide upon. A garden is not like a building, which is complete when it has been inaugurated. Over time, the garden will grow to its glory and the ecosystem will flourish," explains Chandra Mohan.
(The Semmozhi Poonga will open to the public from November 24).

Max Burger offers new, unique twist on classic American fareJuly 31, 2012 |
By Chris Maza email@example.com LONGMEADOW With the recent influx of burger joints in Western Massachusetts, Max Burger figures to be a cut above the rest by offering a higher quality product with a terrific drink selection to accompany it. The new restaurant, located in the Longmeadow Shops, has made a great impression by making a concerted effort to be a part of the community. Max Burger hosted its grand opening celebration on July 20, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Longmeadow Educational Endowment Fund. They packed the house and raised $9,000 for the fund that offers grants for school programs that wouldn't normally be funded through the school budget. That kind of commitment to the community, along with delicious food and drink makes Max Burger a home run. While the open house did not offer patrons, such as this reporter, the opportunity to order full meals, it did allow for the sampling of several different menu items, ranging from appetizers and sides to miniature versions of their full-size signature burgers. Of the side items and appetizers, three unusual items spicy tuna salsa cruda, eggplant fries and pickle wrapped pastrami turned out to be solid hits. The pickle wrapped pastrami, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, a pickle stuffed with pastrami that was breaded and fried, was especially tasty. While several of the burger selections sampled were excellent, as were the barbeque ribs and chicken wings, the huge winner was not a burger at all, but the pulled pork. The gentleman working the sample station at the grand opening explained that the pork is smoked for 12 hours and then smothered in Max Burger's own signature barbeque sauce. It is truly a delicious option. In addition to the tremendous food, Max Burger boasts what might be the best beer selection in town with 20 taps, including 14 for craft beer. The beer list was outstanding, including draft selections by Southern Tier, Magic Hat, Clown Shoes, Rapscallion, Berkshire Brewing and Slumbrew. The bottle list includes most of the standards and also harder-to-find items such as the Left Hand Milk Stout, Notch Session Saison, Ommegang Belgian Pale Ale and Unibroue Fin du Monde. In all, Max Burger carries more than 40 bottles. A wide selection on red, white and sparkling wines and a full liquor selection makes this a nice spot to stop by for a drink if a full meal isn't on the docket. They also make spiked milk shakes, including the Kahlua Express, made with Kahlua, double espresso and coffee ice cream, which was scrumptious. The atmosphere is also a unique one and especially impressive when you consider the space the restaurant occupies was once a Blockbuster Video store. The décor mixes some old-fashioned and rural themes with modern ones and the outdoor patio also offers another nice dining option during nice weather. And in case one might forget what a burger comes from, there are several art pieces dedicated to the cow. All in all, the folks at Max Burger appear to have put together a first-rate operation. While a bit pricier than the average burger shop, the quality makes up for the difference in price. Next time you have a hankering for a quarter pound of beef, give this place a try for a new take on favorite American fare. |

Last week, Bed Stuy's Community Board 3 voted against supporting the liquor license of a restaurant planning to open on Atlantic Avenue between Franklin and Classon, "amid fears from some locals that the area is drowning in bars," DNAinfo reported. A CB no vote is only advisory, not binding — the State Liquor Authority has the say — but it's the first time we can recall in recent years a no vote from CB3, which generally seems to encourage new businesses.
At a community board meeting we attended in September, a member of the board stated noise complaints from bars are an increasing problem in Bed Stuy. A resident who spoke at the meeting and who lives above Simplicity Wine Bar on Malcolm X Boulevard between Decatur and Macdonough said noise has been a problem. In the last year or so, an unprecedented number of new bars — about a dozen — have opened or are planning to open in Bed Stuy, along with a smaller number of restaurants seeking liquor licenses.
Some of the new venues in the works include Bed-Vyne Cocktails, Casablanca, Brooklyn Wine Yard, an as-yet-unnamed spinoff of Manhattan's Silver Lining and Little Branch, Khemistry, and an unnamed spinoff of Mayfield that will have a taco truck in the backyard. Bed-Vyne Cocktails co-owner Damone James told the community board in September the business had soundproofed the ceiling of the new bar at 305 Halsey and would close the backyard early if there are any noise complaints.
The number of bars and restaurants with liquor licenses in the enormous and mostly residential neighborhood of Bed Stuy pales in comparison to the number that have opened in Williamsburg and Bushwick, where community boards have tried and failed to stop them.
At the same meeting this month, CB3 voted to support a liquor license for a restaurant on Franklin Avenue, according to DNAinfo. Attendees said the area of Atlantic where the owner of Franklin Park was hoping to open his new venue already had too many noisy bars, said the story. The building recently housed an auto body repair shop, above.
What do you think is an appropriate number of bars for Bed Stuy?

Fay Vincent: Machinations of Congress, White House equivalent of playing hot potato with economy, also known as an expensive but delicate Sevres vase
The British do elegant insults best. Writer Evelyn Waugh delivered this famous rapier thrust at essayist Steven Spender: To see him "fumbling with our rich and delicate language is to experience all the horror of seeing a Sevres vase in the hands of a chimpanzee."
As I watch Congress and the White House tossing around tax issues and planning reforms, I think of the Sevres vase. Tax policy deserves calm and deliberate thought. Sound fiscal policies are the vase. The chimps are everywhere.
Tax policy reflects the will of Congress to use the tax code to influence public behavior. We encourage homeownership by permitting the deduction of home mortgage interest payments. We encourage employers to provide health care benefits by not taxing the value of those benefits to employees.
For much of my life all income from wages, dividends and interest was taxed at the same rate. But then to encourage capital accumulation and investment and to stimulate growth and jobs, dividends and capital gains were granted special low rate treatment. Today capital gains and dividends are taxed at 15 percent for everyone regardless of income.
But our vase is in shaky hands.
The tax rate on dividends is scheduled to go from 15 percent to 39.6 percent if the president has his way. That change in dividend rate will only affect the wealthy. In addition, the Obama health law includes an additional Medicare tax on the wealthy of 3.8 percent, so the highest tax rate likely will reach 43.4 percent on top-level taxpayers. State taxes will move the top rates above 50 percent.
It is only reasonable to anticipate taxpayers, including small business owners and corporate boards, will make adjustments to minimize the tax burden.
One of the risks with tax policy changes is the lack of solid information on how the proposals will influence private economic behavior. When I was CEO of Columbia Pictures we paid no dividend, and my father refused to buy our stock, insisting a dividend was essential to shareholders to give them a return on their investment. Our board was reluctant to pay a dividend because the distribution would — under the tax laws at that time — force shareholders to pay ordinary income tax rates on the income.
Rather the board believed shareholders would be better off if we retained the cash and built the value of our stock so shareholders could sell shares and pay the lower tax rate on capital gains. Eventually we paid a small dividend, but the debate at our board meetings illustrates the issue.
Today there are virtually no ways for middle class investors to generate any appreciable level of return on their investments. Savings banks, money market funds and Treasury bills pay close to nothing. High dividend stocks are in demand. But by altering the tax burden on dividends for the wealthy, the unintended consequence may be that corporate boards will prefer to use buy backs of shares rather than pay dividends as the means to return cash to shareholders.
Small-business owners will surely reduce dividend payments and seek capital gains transactions. I doubt that is what the White House will prefer.
Remember when Congress passed the so-called "luxury tax" on yachts and other fancy items only to discover that the Maine boat building industry was immediately hurt to the dismay of the Maine senator who had supported that ill-considered law? The tax was soon repealed. In the present debate there is disagreement over the effect tax increases will have on the economy and whether jobs will be lost as taxes are increased. Economists disagree. One recalls the sage insight of former President Harry Truman, who sought to find a one-armed economist who was unable to say, "On the other hand … "
The challenge now is to get this economy moving. The private business universe is crying out for solutions and a more predictable economic climate. That is the Sevres vase. One can only hope the policy makers realize how precious and yet fragile it is.

Jean Grae - Love Thirst (Remix) ft. Busta Rhymes
Artist: Jean Grae
Featuring: Busta Rhymes
Producer: 9th Wonder
Album: Jeanius
Avg Rating: 3.1 ( 18 votes )
This past February, DJBooth featured Jean Grae's new single, Love Thirst. Three months later, a remix has arrived with Busta Rhymes, who is hoping to quench even more of that thirst. Toning down his typically fast-paced flow, Busta complements Jean's aphrodisiac tone (her spoken-word cadence is more soothing than other femcees) and 9th Wonder's equally fitting beat, adding mainstream appeal to Grae's "conscious rap fan" audience. Either way, Love Thirst is the perfect choice for anyone in the mood for "chill" music. Jeanius, Grae's highly-anticipated new album, drops later this month off Talib Kweli's Blacksmith Records and their distributor, Warner Bros.

"I was frustrated as I had found the best prices for appliances at the Sears Outlet - had made purchases that were amazing deals such as a wall oven and microwave for around $1600 less with some small superficial scratches on the handles...and I felt everything was turning into a fiasco especially as it felt like the call centers were giving me the run around and then posted on this site some regional manager gave his phone number for help and then things went AMAZING. The handles were sent for a switch to new and now the $1600 off floor model was like new... I called the regional guy from the mid west and he gave me the north and mid Atlantic regional guys so I now do my good turn and leave their names and emails here, Philip Todd for NE email@example.com and email@example.com
for Md-Atlantic. I await the new glass for the microwave but these guys gave me white glove care and treatment as I was remodeling my kitchen and buying everything - unbelievable immediate response and follow through Sears should be proud because it shows they are a company with a long entrenched history in appliances and could be the favored go to sire esp. the outlet for deals as they ship across country from these outlets and you can usually get photos and connected to the local store for exactly the nature of these very discounted appliances which often is minor cosmetic sometimes and sometimes nothing at all... I have been very pleased after a rough start but the deals are better then anywhere I have seen!"
"I ordered a gas stove from sears outlet It came and was way more damaged than they said on the website. I spent 3 hrs on the phone with people who could hardly speak English and all they were doing was reading a script. Handled they are replacing but the door they can't and keep telling me I have to suck it up and order a different stove because they don't have this one anymore. I wanted this stove not a different one.
The stove functions fine it is just not pretty. I will not shop at sears outlet again. They are so hard to deal with and all they do is transfer you to differenty people who have no clue.
When I asked to speak to a supervisor they told me they don't have any over them that they are the end of the line for complaints. In all my years I have never heard such a thing that they have no one to take care of complaints.
Stay away and buy somewhere else for less problems and better customer service."
"Placed order for new refrigerator for office on Wednesday, was going to be a delivery from a local outlet store. Received a call stating it will be delivered Monday. Called Monday asking when I should expect it, and they said it actually won't be until Tuesday (wasn't too mad at this point yet.) Went home from work around 3 that day (co-workers still at office waiting for it) and when I came in Wednesday morning to put my food in the fridge, I saw it was not there. Checked voicemail and Sears Outlet left on at 9am Wednesday morning saying delivery is delayed. Well no shit I could've told you that: There is no fridge here. They had no new estimte on date. Cancelled the order and purchased from Best Buy. Received an email from the outlet store saying my Fridge will be delivered SATURDAY. Emailed her back saying I cancelled the order and to please confirm. NO REPLY. Sent email to the Sears outlet cust. service email. NO REPLY> Received a call from delivery man on FRIDAY asking if I am home to deliver the fridge. Are you freaking kidding me??!!! Sent 3 emails to each address and called customer service. They eventually stopped calling about the delivery. NOT THE MENTION....the website did not work when I ordered and the man that took down the item number and card information for payment an ddelivery address...took 28 MINUTES TO TAKE DOWN THIS INFORMATION. Complete waste of my time. Had bad experience at an actual store location a few weeks before. WILL NEVER ORDER OR BUY FROM SEARS OUTLET.
Just received yet ANOTHER CALL asking when is a good delivery time.... 1 Hour after I posted this review."
"I liked the way a previous customer told his story, I am going to copy:
11/28/2014 I placed an order for a refrigerator. It was supposed to be delivered in 2-3 weeks. My credit card was charged $ 895.57
12/01/2014 I reviewed the status of my order in the website, and the order was "Processing", and the Item Status "Ready for Pickup"
12/04/2014 ... I should wait ... they said 2-3 weeks
12/10/2014 I reviewed the status of my order in the website, and the order was "Processing", and the Item Status "Ready for Pickup". I decide to call to ask for an estimated delivery day. They inform that "MY ORDER WAS CANCELLED". They did not have the item in inventory. The never notified me ... I complain and they offer me to replace my order for another one. I saved some dollars because -for the apology- they offered me a discount. My credit card was charged $804.56.
12/10/2014 I checked online the status of my second order and realized that the item they sold me to replace my order was "Reconditioned". I called to cancel the order and see if they have a "New" one. The found one! I was charged $788.57 in my credit card.
12/11/2014 I checked online the status of my third order and it seems to be OK. Since I learned that the website status is not reliable, I called to ask for an estimated delivery date. Surprise! My third order was CANCELLED! They were kidding! it's a joke! They receive orders, charge the credit cards and use to CANCEL the orders.
I asked to talk to a Supervisor ... somebody is trying to solve. Mario will call me in 1 one with an answer ... they told me 2 hour ago. I call Mario and nobody answers. The 5th call somebody answers ... Mario is not there ...
Yes, I know ... it's MY fault, for expecting them to solve their DISASTER. Now, let's see how I can get back my $2,488."
"AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WOULD ADVISE DO NO BUY ONLINE FROM SEARS. I purchased a wall oven that indicated no dents or scratches. On day of delivery they called to say the oven was damaged and I declined to accept it. I called customer service to request another oven but to do so they would have to refund the money in 3 to 5 business days and debit my account immediately in order to send another oven. I said no way, you can't tie up $2500 and I have no stove, just go ahead an refund my money. Today is one week and I called to follow-up on my refund, only to find out it was never processed and I will have to wait another 3-5 days (total 10 days for my money). Really Sears?!!!!"
"I have been anxiously awaiting my new $2600 pillow top bed to be delivered for two weeks for the scheduled delivery day. It finally came and to my complete disappointment the bed was delivered with the padding in the pillow top completely lumped and bunched together in a mound in the middle of the bed. We tried shaking it on its side and it will only move around the bed. This bed isn't even useable and customer service will not replace it! The delivery men told me to call customer service, and customer service said the delivery men should have noticed it. Apparently this doesn't qualify as visual damage. I demanded a manager and they wouldn't even connect me to one. I am horrified at my experience with Sears. I was more excited about this item than anything I've purchased so far and I am very unhappy. Sears outlet has tricky hidden rules and won't help you when they deliver faulty items!"
"I purchased a Whirlpool washer and dryer from the Sears Outlet store in San Leandro, CA. I bought it on Black Friday, November 28, 2014. At that time we had a truck rental due to the fact that my minivan was in the shop. We picked up the items and installed them on Sunday, November 30th. The dryer from that point would not get hot. We called the service department and a technician could not come out until Tuesday, December 2, 2014. We were told that the appliances were fine it had to be our vent and we should call someone out to clean it. The same day we had someone come out at a cost of $165.00 to clean the vent. We started a load of clothes in the dryer and guess what, NO HEAT. We called the service department again this time they could not come until Friday. We were told that if we wanted another dryer we would have to bring the one we just purchased back or pay for delivery. Now my husband and I are both disabled. We were fortunate to have someone unload the washer and dryer for us and install them for free. Now we have no one to uninstall, move and bring back the broken items to the store. I would have to hire a moving service to do the job. I feel the $165.00 dollars they told me to spend to have my vents cleaned should suffice for them bringing a new dryer out. This is the worst store in the world. The managers will not come to the phone or reply to phone calls. Do no buy from them, period! The real stores are disconnected from the outlet stores so they can't help you at all. This is a nightmare. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THE OUTLET IN SAN LEANDRO CALIFORNIA."
"Purchased a Samsung Washer and Dryer. On the day of delivery, I get a call saying the washer was broken and could not be delivered. I cancelled the order. I went to the Denver Sear Outlet store and received no help from the completely worthless sales ladies. (Any other store would have made every effort to locate another washer and dryer to replace the canceled order and would have tried to satisfy me.) They said they might be getting some LG's the next day, but had no idea of models or prices. I had asked if they could call the Lonetree Outlet store to verify stock of what I had pulled from their Web site. No, she could not do that. I drove to Lonetree and found they DID NOT have the stock that was listed on their Web page. The Sears Outlet Stores have zero customer service, zero inventory control and poor point of sale terminals."
"ordered washer and dryer from searsoutlet.com. the dryer was delivered after 2 weeks with no problem. washer was canceled after 2 weeks for missing legs - delivery unable to install. I was told to start the process from the beginning which I did. re-selected, re-scheduled delivery for 10 days after. on the day of expected delivery - after waiting for over 4 hours we were told they could not deliver for their truck could not make the turn onto our narrow street. the driver was very rude. said they would deliver next week in small truck. took time off to wait again - no call no show. after we checked they said they would deliver in two days - completely unapologetic about wasting our time again. 2 days later they called to let us know they can deliver but unable to install because the unit had no legs... I have called Sears and spent 2 hours on the phone trying to patiently help them to help us and deliver a washer without going through the same process again. I moved up through levels of their "solutions" department all the way to national (non)solutions. I was told by all that their hands were tight, I can order again on line and wait for delivery ... I have given them numerous chances to fix this and they have repeatedly declined... I am done with sears for good. this really was the worst appliance purchase experience of my life."
"9/21/2014 Appliance purchased on searsoutlet.com. Scheduled for delivery 9/27
9/26/2014 Received delivery window
9/27/2014 Informed that appliance was not at warehouse. No delivery made.

10/8/2014 Informed that appliance was not at store. No delivery made. Still waiting for call back from store on further updates."
"I ordered a 27" microwave/oven combo from the WI store and the website gave me an option to deliver ($212). I called the store and spoke with the sales guy and he looked it over and made me comfortable enough to buy it. I completed the order immediately after the call. Now, I get a canceled confirmation that the item is not in the store - sold. I bet if I call WI, the item is still there. The sales guy said normally they don't ship - someone else comes and gets it to ship.
It is just a huge waste of time. Assuming it was a display model new and working, it would cost $3300 and my delivered cost would be $2100. That's a great savings....but my time is money and the aggravation of this one order will never have me buy from them again.
Why operate a website with delivery options? If you want to run outlet stores that is in-store only, then don't advertise stuff. It's a shame that an old brand like Sears is headed down the path to bankruptcy....well, Sears, I tried to buy from you."
"We spent $1695.83 on a washer/dryer... assuming they'd be in perfect condition and would last us for some time due to the fact they were new, Whirlpool, and high efficiency. From day one, we've had nothing but a bad experience. First, upon delivery, the washer didn't want to run hot water, and the dryer wasn't blowing hot air. Somehow the washer managed to fix itself, and after having my fiance and the installation guys play around with the dryer, it started to work. Then we noticed something that looked like permanent dirt in the bottom of the washer, along the edges of it. At this point, we'd only used it once. It's been 6 months, and the stuff is still there. We took pictures of it the first time we noticed it. The dryer also came without the feet the day it was delivered, so every time we used it, it moved. Then our towels started ripping because they would get caught on the plastic part that covers the lint holder. A technician came out to fix that issue, and to install the feet. Yesterday the rubber circle which goes around the window on the dryer door fell off while the dryer was in use, got tangled within our clothes, stretched itself and my shirt out, and now the dryer won't dry without saying "check vent" along with the hot air escaping. I already put in a service call, but the earliest they can come is Saturday. It's Wednesday today. I have two little kids, laundry that's piling up, and I have to wait till Saturday until I can use my dryer. NONE of this is acceptable. We did not waste almost $1700 on BRAND NEW units to have two service calls needed within 6 months of purchase. If that had been the case, I would have taken my parent's 10 year old washer/dryer for free... units that have never needed any repairs during the last decade. I called the Elgin (Illinois) Sears Outlet store and spoke to Scott, the assistant manager, who just repeated the same thing over and over again. He's sorry for my troubles, the service tech will come out and fix the issue (free for now, but what happens after the year is up and we have to start paying for them to come out here?), and there's nothing else he can do because we didn't purchase the extended warranty. I DON'T CARE IF WE DIDN'T PURCHASE THE WARRANTY. Not only did we get machines which have given us trouble from the start, but they've also ruined some towels and a shirt. I can't comprehend how a company can sell items like this, and then just offer a bogus apology and a simple "our tech will fix it" answer, then expect the customer to go about their business.
"Beware! This is a scam website. I placed an order for some tools. The total was $19.30 including $6.25 shipping. I used Paypal to pay. I took a screen shot immediately before placing the order and it showed $19.30. I then received a confirmation email from Paypal for $38.30. I went to check my order on the Sears Outlet website and found that after submitting the order, they raised the shipping to $25. They are scammers. I had to open a dispute with Paypal.
Update: I was able to find a phone number for Sears Outlet on a consumer rip off website. I called and got them to cancel the order. They said I was overcharged for shipping and wanted to just reduce it to what it was supposed to be. Suspecting I would never get my items, I told them to cancel it. The woman said she would and then hung up on me. I received several cancellation emails but they have not refunded my money to Paypal. I emailed them a couple days ago and they said they would look into this.
Update: To date I still have not received a refund from Searsoutlet.com. They keep lying and stalling. Opened a complaint with the BBB to see if that helps. Found an article dated May 15, 2014 saying Sears in burning through money, closing stores, and will be going out of business. That explains their scamming nature. "
"Ordered item online did not ship for close to a month. Contacted CS and was told I would have a tracking number in 72 hours. Nothing was ever sent and they canceled my order without refunding my payment. Was told via phone chat most of what they "show" online is not actually what they have in stock and often they do not have the products they list."
"Why I will NEVER shop at a Sears Outlet Ever Again:
I work for the Federal Government and our 9th floor break room has 2 refrigerators - 1 dead and 1 dying. The government only gives us space for a break room, but they do not supply appliances. I collected funds to buy new refrigerators. Even before I had the funds, I had gone to the Sears Outlet and looked at what they had. As I approached the purchase point (Monday), I went BACK to Sears Outlet to ask them if there was a problem using the tax exempt certificate I had (the equipment is being used in a government owned building). The response was no - no problem. I then pointed out that I could "bid" on the same products they have on-line, but can't complete the purchase on-line. Will you give me the bid price? Not a problem, I was told. Okay - and we can get a 5% discount if we use a Sears card? That is right.
I actually leave work early the next day, Tuesday, to purchase the refrigerators. The store manager waits on me (this is a different store manager from Monday) and advises me that I cannot get the on-line price. I can only get that price if I complete the purchase on-line. I once again explain that I can't purchase on-line due to tax exempt. She says there is nothing she can do. I also explain that we are paying with a Sears card to get the 5% discount. When I ask if there is anyone I can talk to about the on-line discount price, she has someone else give me a phone number for SearsOutlet.com.
After being on hold for over 20 minutes with the ".com" number, I finally decide that I will give up the on-line discount and just buy the two refrigerators I wanted. Tax Exempt and the 5% discount will be okay, Not happy, but okay. So, she rings me up, gives us the 5% discount, but when I point out that there is tax charged and show her the tax exempt certificate I had (and I am wearing my ID Badge), she tells me they can only do tax exempt if paying with a company credit card or company check. That was the straw. I left. 8.25% on a $900 + purchase is substantial.
Went to Lowe's, bought the same 2 refrigerators (now new and not scratch and dent refurbished) for a little more, but no hassle on payment/tax exempt AND free delivery. Will have to wait for one of the refrigerators to come in on order, but a 1,000% better experience than Sears Outlet. Yea for Lowe's! Boo for Sears Outlet. You have been warned."

Keep the 2 year old busy, get him fun things to do while your breastfeeding... I'm sure he'll be fine.
That said, we're planning on still putting her in daycare (toddlers need that routine!) several says a week, if not full time. So, ice got that going for me. I'm more worried about how to balance life on the weekends with no sleep!
I clicked on this thread hoping to find advice, because I am in the same boat! Except my DD will be 3 when this baby arrives. What I have been told so far is to have a special basket of toys/books/snacks/etc that your toddler can have only when you are nursing your LO. That way it's almost like a special time for her, and she definitely has something to occupy herself with. Another good piece of advice is to make sure you spend some 1-on-1 time with the toddler every day, even if you can only squeeze 5 minutes in.
Other than that, I have no idea, and I hope some more experienced moms come on here and give us some tips!

Garrison Keillor makes his long- awaited return to Lake Wobegon with this New York Times bestseller
The first new Lake Wobegon novel in seven years is a cause for celebration. And Pontoon is nothing less than a spectacular return to form?replete with a bowling ball-urn, a hot-air balloon, giant duck decoys, a flying Elvis, and, most importantly, Wally?s pontoon boat. As the wedding of the decade approaches (accompanied by wheels of imported cheese and giant shrimp shish kebabs), the good-loving people of Lake Wobegon do what they do best: drive each other slightly crazy.
Garrison Keillor, author of nearly a dozen books, is founder and host of the acclaimed radio show A Prairie Home Companion and the daily program The Writer's Almanac. He is also a regular contributor to Time magazine.

If the first words you blurt out upon starting Far Cry Vengeance's main story aren't "Sweet Miyamoto, my eyes! I'm blind!" you're playing a different game than the rest of us. Muddy, low-resolution textures and grass draw in mere yards away as you move, the screen tears any time you move too quickly thanks in part to the limping, stuttering speed at which everything is drawn, and no quantity of cosmetic products could make any of the angular enemies palatable. It seems like even the developers realized this, since some cut-scene sequences, like the fateful first meeting with arch-villain Semeru, are excised without any explanation.
Over time, you can learn to accept the crappy visual quality, but compromised aesthetics are only an appetizer for the main course of pain the more persistent flaws cook up. You see, somebody somewhere believes that the trick to ensuring hand gestures become an effective part of gaming is crafting them to mimic the movements that on-screen characters must perform. Snipers don't really thrust their guns forward to look down the scope, and yanking the Nunchuk controller up doesn't make jumping any more exciting - but we're meant to think this is the case. Just the simple act of turning to face firing enemies is torturous - even at the highest sensitivity level, Jack Carver (read: you) displays all the predatory speed of glacial ice.

Don't be shy!
I'm a passionate person, and am honestly not attracted to those who are not passionate. This is not limited to career, but rather life in general - passion towards others, passion towards goals, and passion regarding values. I'm a musician - I've been studying music since I was 8 and can't imagine it not being a part of my life each and every day. I'm an animal-lover, and love to walk and talk with friends, including my miniature pinscher :) I'm also interested in wellness, not strictly in the sense of being physically fit, but also a general healthy lifestyle - from the foods I choose to eat to the amount of sleep I don't always get :) Of course, wellness also applies to having an active social and spiritual life. While I don't drink, this is for personal reasons that do not apply to the wellness rule - so if you drink I don't have an issue with that. There are so many places I would like to visit! I have been to Italy, England, Germany, and Canada so far. Someday I will go to Ireland! My family immigrated to the USA in 1904, but we still have family living in Dublin. I also love meeting new people, so send me an email! :)

Omar Johnson - Beats by Dr. Dre unveils Super Bowl headphones
Beats by Dr. Dre has teamed with international jewellers Graff Diamonds to create a bespoke headphone to commemorate this year's Super Bowl.
Beats by Dr. Dre has unveiled new Super Bowl-inspired headphones.
The luxury brand has teamed up with international jewellers Graff Diamonds to create a limited edition pair of headphones which will pay homage to the two teams playing in the big American football game this Sunday (02.02.14).
A Super Bowl-esque emblem will be encrusted on each of the unique headphones, with white gold being used for the Denver Broncos and yellow gold for the Seattle Seahawks.
The unique accessories will be presented to players in both teams before the hugely anticipated football game this weekend.
Beats by Dr. Dre's executive vice president of global marketing Omar Johnson said: ''This is the biggest game, on the biggest stage, being played in one of the world's most famous and beloved cities. We collaborated with premiere jeweller Graff Diamonds to create a headphone that would be precious enough to commemorate that moment, something that these athletes would not only want to wear but could also warrant a place in their trophy cases.''
In addition to the limited edition headphones, US talk show host Ellen Degeneres will star in Beats' Super Bowl commercial to promote its new Beats Music online streaming service.
Ellen said: ''I'm partnering with Beats Music. I love them because they're changing the way you listen to music. They have a new digital streaming service that brings you totally personalised music. You can download the app on your phone, then hear any song at any time.''

UPDATE 2-Infineon says to fight Qimonda legal action
- Tweet
- Share this
* Qimonda insolvency lawyer seeks unspecified amount
* Infineon will defend itself "vigorously"
* Infineon will take no provisions
* Shares up 0.7 percent
(Recasts, adds Infineon comments)
By Christoph Steitz and Nicola Leske
FRANKFURT/PARIS, Dec 2 (Reuters) - German chipmaker Infineon (IFXGn.DE) said it would defend itself vigorously against legal action by the insolvency administrator of Qimonda, its former memory chip unit, seeking an unspecified payment.
"We are firmly convinced that we have done nothing wrong," an Infineon spokesman said on Thursday, adding that the company would defend itself against this action and pursue all avenues of legal proceedings.
The spokesman also said Infineon would not take any provisions except for legal costs, which would have a negligible impact on Infineon's balance sheet.
Qimonda collapsed in 2009 as chip prices plunged and then filed for insolvency after failing to hammer out details of a rescue package in time.
"The (legal) action asserts that, in connection with the carve-out of the memory business to Qimonda AG, Infineon utilised a previously formed shell company and 'economically re-established' this company through the transfer of the memory business," Infineon said in a statement earlier on Thursday.
"When a shell company is created the register checks whether it has sufficient capital, once that shell company actually starts operations the register reviews the capital base," Infineon's legal expert Cornelius Simons said on a conference call, referring to rules on company registrations.
Infineon registered the shell company in 2004 and in 2006 turned it into an operational business -- Qimonda -- with its memory chip operations.
"The formalities took longer than planned but if the intended purpose of the shell company is clear from the beginning, then a review is usually not necessary," Simons said, adding that all parties involved at the time had agreed that a re-examination was not required.
However, the insolvency administrator's legal action claims that Infineon was required to provide the company register with a declaration and is obliged to refund to Qimonda the difference between Qimonda's assets at the time of insolvency and its equity capital, Infineon said.
Simons said that proceedings could take four years or longer and added that in theory the action could result in a large payment for Infineon but that it was highly unlikely it would come to that.
A spokesman for insolvency administrator Michael Jaffe said he had to pursue all options to meet the demands of Qimonda's creditors.

After wave of QE, onus shifts to leaders to boost economy
DAVOS, Switzerland - Central banks have done their best to rescue the world economy by printing money and politicians must now act fast to enact structural reforms and pro-investment policies to boost growth, central bankers said on Saturday.
