undelivered package
I ordered a beer growler from a company in San Diego, they shipped it out and I followed the package with "tracking". When it said it was delivered, I went down to the PO to pick it up but it was not there. I have no idea where the growler is (24$ with shipping) am I just out my money is is there some recourse I can take? Thanks- Paul
As long as the PO will admit they didn't deliver it. Which... can be iffy. I just had another episode with the postal worker, er, excuse me, postal employee. Had to chase the b*$@$%# down since they are too lazy to come to the door with a certified letter. Just throw a slip in the mailbox and say pick it up at the post office in a couple days...
Back to the topic, I'd definitely file a complaint with all levels of the post office. Hold them accountable.
If you used a credit card for the purchase, you might register a disputed charge with the credit card issuer. Different card issuers handle such disputes differently, but hopefully yours would at least hold off posting the charge to your account until the matter is resolved. First step, though, is to check with the company. Good luck!
My mom ordered a gift that we were splitting for Christmas delivered to her house. The FedEx tracking said it was delivered but it never showed up at their house. It was a $200 GPS so it wasn't trivial.
The company that sent it ended up refunding the money but not w/o quite a hastle. I was pretty mad about the whole thing. It was FedEx's fault that it didn't get there but they took no responsiblity because their system said "delivered". It had to be either taken by the delivery man or someone following the FedEx truck around stealing packages.
The lesson is to always require a signature.
stargazzer, it's a jug that holds beer- man, you've lived a sheltered life. LTMS ( laughing to myself, I hate LOL). Anyways, I have been in touch with Brew Mart and they assure me a replacement is on the way. I suppose if one is home a great deal of the time, a signature would be the way to go. This package, however, was supposed to go to the PO, anyway. Generally I have had could luck with on line purchases and enjoy the convenience. Thanks to all who contributed. What in the Dickens is a $900 doll? Does it blow up? What else does it do?

By Gareth Harris. From Art Basel daily editionPublished online: 17 June 2014
An unusual pairing of work by one living and one dead artist comes courtesy of the Kunsthaus Zürich, which is due to launch an exhibition featuring the work of Egon Schiele (1890-1918) and Jenny Saville (b. 1970) this autumn.
"Schiele's work confronts the large-format paintings and drawings by the British artist Jenny Saville. This is a meeting of two young stars, separated by many years and divergent artistic methods, who consistently distil in their work a strong sense of the body as a locus of lived experience," the museum says in a statement. Saville's Ruben's Flap, 1998-99, and Rosetta II, 2005-06, will be shown alongside Schiele's Death and the Maiden, 1913-16, in the exhibition, which is due to open on 10 October (until 25 January 2015). Most of the late Austrian artist's works are on loan from the Leopold Collection in Vienna.

On Monday, Amazon Web Services — the leading provider of cloud services — suffered an outage, and as a result, a long list of well-known and popular websites went dark. According to Amazon's Service Health Dashboard, the outage started out as degraded performance of a small number of Elastic Bloc Store (EBS) storage units in the US-EAST-1 Region, then evolved to include problems with the Relational Database Service and Elastic Beanstalk as well.
The only surprising thing about this AWS outage was that anyone was surprised by it. It wasn't the first time AWS had a major outage or problems with this data center. If you remember, back in June a line of powerful thunderstorms knocked the power out at a major Amazon hosting center. The backup generator failed, then the software failed, and, well, you know the drill. A corollary of Murphy's Law is that if multiple things can go wrong, they will all go wrong at once.
In both of these instances (and in all Amazon Web Services outages, in fact) some customers were knocked "off the air" while others continued running without a hiccup. You would think that eventually companies will learn to anticipate the inevitable AWS outages and take active steps to prepare for them. There are best practices and solutions on how to reduce vulnerability to an outage, but they're rarely implemented. That's because people don't think that anything could happen to Amazon — obviously, things happen.
Instances like this are a learning opportunity if we take the time to think about why they happened and what could have been done to prevent them. Here are six lessons that I think we can learn from the Amazon Web Services outages.
Lesson 1 — Clouds are made of components that can fail. When people think of the cloud, they think that there is some amorphous and untouchable blog up in the sky. And while that's a nice bit of marketing, it is not a useful model for operational planning. Be mindful of your cloud provider's architecture and how it is built to manage failure of a component or a zone blackout. Then anticipate that failures can happen at any point in the cloud infrastructure.
Lesson 2 — The stress of failure will trigger a cascade of other failures. After reading a description of the outage, you get the sense that it was just one thing after another. What started as a small issue affecting one Northern Virginia data center quickly spread, causing a chain reaction and outage that disrupted much of the Internet for several hours. Remember Murphy and his law?
Lesson 3 – -Spikes matter. When a cloud fails, hundreds of customers are impacted. As they try to recover, they will be stressing the cloud provider's infrastructure with a peak load that is guaranteed to cause even more problems. If you get these transition spikes, they get worse and worse. Every time you reboot, it takes longer and longer. If you have ten servers doing that, that's bad. If you spike a thousand servers, that's really bad. Something that would have taken five minutes to fix will now take five hours when you get into that transition type of syndrome.
Lesson 4 — Cloud providers provide the tools to manage failure, but it is up to you to put your own failover plans in place. AWS, for example, is broken into zones. If a component in the Virginia zone goes down and the whole matrix is dead, then (in theory) you should be able to move all your data to another zone. That other zone might be hosted, unaffected, in Ireland and then you are up and running again. This is one of the big differences between the cloud and more traditional approaches to IT. It is up to the application (and by extension, the application's designer) to manage its interaction with the cloud environment, up to and including failover. Most cloud providers offer tools and frameworks to support failover, but you are responsible for implementing that best practice into your system operation and into the applications.
Lesson 5 — You need to put your failover plans through a full-blown load test. It's not enough to have a strategy in place for failover. You have to test it under real-world conditions. Even the best laid failover plans, once implemented and designed, might have hiccups when a real outage occurs. A full-blown cloud load test can help you see how long the failover process will take to kick in and what other dependencies might need to be sorted out. Obviously this isn't easy. If it was, Reddit, Foursquare, Airbnb and others wouldn't have been impacted by the AWS outage.
Lesson 6 — Conduct fire drills. While a load test will confirm that your failover plan works as you expect, it will also give your team some real experience in executing the plan. Remember the fire drills you used to do in school? Fire drills help train students, teachers, and others to know exactly what they're supposed to do and where they're supposed to go in the event of an emergency. All the bugs in the process are worked out during the fire drill, and the more everybody does the drills, the more comfortable there are with what they need to do. And if a real emergency happens, everybody knows how to leave the building calmly. You want to do the same thing with your failover plan, and load testing can help you get there. Fire drills save lives and load tests save cloud apps.
Is your failure worth more than $28?
Amazon offers reimbursement to its customers based on the amount of downtime the customer experiences. The last time our Amazon Web Services went down, we got a $28 reimbursement. So my final lesson learned (I guess this makes for seven lessons) is this: The cost of downtime for your organization — in lost revenue, poor customer experience, etc. — is far, far greater than just what you are paying your cloud provider. $28 is not going to save your day. You have to make sure that you have a failover solution that's ready and working. Don't wait for Amazon to solve this problem for you, because it's only a $28 problem for it.
The biggest lesson learned from these AWS outages is that you need to configure properly and you need to train your people. These types of events will always happen, and when they do, you need to be trained ahead of time. Load testing itself is a good way to validate and train. That way when a real emergency occurs, your team can react in a calm, collected manner to a situation they've experienced dozens of times before.

Kudos Riot. The new hatespike noise is so sick.
thank you. that is all.
Associate Sound Designer
Hey Thome,
Thanks for the feedback! I also really like the new sound as well, but sadly it has not been received well by other players in a thread below called 'Hate Spike'. As a result, we are going to revert it back. Bummer I know, but maybe we'll try another update when we have a chance to cook something up.
Senior Member
im not a fan of this sound, but thanks to make upgrade on sound, and im still waiting for the new ''quaking''sound comming
The new Hate Spike sounds like the targets are getting vicious animal bites, which is really cool...
...except for the fact that Eve isn't actually biting them. If you asked the art team or whatever to add some fang effects to the spell, the sound would suit it to the T. =D
I thought that it was a nice touch - goes nice with Haunting Guise and spell leach...
Now that I think about it from the different perspective I should say that this sound is a perfect addition to Evelynn's greatest ability of irritating people (both teams ofc).
She's already target number 1 in a teamfights, and when she kills someone there's a great chance that victim will get mad at her (like if he was killed with melee weapon in FPS game)... so with this new sound it will be easier to keep pressure on someones mind.
Yes the sound is not really bad, in fact it's nothing like if u were listening to Merzbow or Atari Teenage Riot (for instance) for several hours.
But still I love the old sound too much to just let it go... So I propose make it so evelynn will hear the old sound while enemies (and possibly allies) will hear the new one. That will be a nice "buff".
Please don't go back to the old noise. I love eve, and began playing her again due to the newly implemented sounds. i like to hear the new hate spikes in 7.1 dolby digital surround sound. haha. oh well thanks for the update jay.
Der Cutze
Well, lets make a vote poll then, to decide whether we love the new sound or not.
1. Old Hate Spike
2. New Hate Spike
3. Make another version of the old one.
4. Make another version of the new one.
5. Make a new combined version of both!

Why is immigration such a hot issue in a country that prides itself on being a nation of immigrants? At stake is America's cultural and racial conception of itself.
The border between Mexico and the U.S. has always been porous enough to permit the development of cross-border intimacies of many kinds.
IS immigration the new civil rights issue of the United States? That is the question in many people's minds as massive marches and rallies focusing on the rights of immigrants erupt all over the U.S. On April 10, declared a national day of action by the organisers, 5,00,000 people marched in Washington D.C. On May 1, hundreds of thousands of immigrants all over the U.S. kept away from work, school and shopping to demonstrate their economic clout. More recently, President Bush has gone on television to address the country on this issue. Hardly a week goes by without some action somewhere or the other. Immigration seems to have become the political issue of the day in the country, hotter even than the Iraq war, though popular discontent over this misadventure too is hopping hot, especially for President Bush. On April 10, marchers in Atlanta carried signs reading, "We Have a Dream, Too," echoing Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream" speech from the 1960s. King's famous speech spoke of a dream of winning equal rights for African-Americans. Like King's speech, the new immigrant rights movement too is laying claim to equal rights to America, and like that speech, it expresses different things to different people. To some it is about the dream of equality and of dignity as human beings. To others it is simply the dream of making it - of buying a house in the suburbs with a well-tended lawn, of sending children to college, or perhaps even of just eating well. For those ranged against this new movement, however, immigration is no dream. It is a nightmare, captured by the words "illegal immigration". In this nightmare, immigrants, pouring across the borders without a visa or overstaying their permits, break the law. Plain and simple.
Complex issue
Unfortunately, reality is not plain and it's not simple. It's not a dream and it's not a nightmare. There are an estimated 11 to 12 million immigrants without documents in the U.S. More often than not, these immigrants have broken no law other than immigration laws, and are in fact in great demand in the fields of California, the restaurant kitchens of New York, and the meat packing factories of the Midwest. Large sectors of the American economy would grind to an abrupt halt without the cheap labour of these immigrants. This is why powerful business as well as labour interests are to be found on the side of the immigrant rights movement. Immigration is a difficult issue for the U.S. On the one hand, it prides itself on being "a nation of immigrants". Except for the indigenous people of the continent, every American has come from elsewhere or is the descendant of people who have come from elsewhere. A Nation of Immigrants is the title of a book President John F. Kennedy wrote to fuel reforms to immigration legislation in the 1960s. Those reforms, mostly undertaken by Kennedy's successor Lyndon B. Johnson, changed laws that excluded or disproportionately restricted immigrants from many parts of the world and led to a period of massive immigration. Many of these new immigrants came from parts of the world formerly not so well represented amongst immigrants to the U.S., such as India. The reforms were seen as continuing a grand tradition of American settlement of an "empty" continent (never mind the Native Americans and other indigenous people displaced by this settlement). So much for the U.S. as a welcoming haven for immigrants. Who would deny that there is some truth to it? On the other hand, it continues to be a largely white, monolingual country. The new immigrants who have entered in the last 30 years, come largely from Africa, Asia, and, above all, Latin America, challenging America's cultural and racial conception of itself. Are racism and linguistic chauvinism ("Why don't all those Mexicans learn English?" some ask) behind the opposition to immigration? Whites will soon be a minority in California, the most populous State in the Union. For some time now, Miami has been the cultural capital of the Spanish-speaking world. For many monolingual white Americans, joined sometimes by African-Americans, these developments are anxiety producing.More than any other ethnic group, Mexicans are at the heart of these anxieties. Because the U.S. shares such a long border with Mexico, more Mexicans than any other ethnic group cross into the U.S. without proper documents. Some come seasonally to work in the fields of the Southwest. Others, even without proper documents, have now lived in the U.S. for years, sometimes decades. Their children have often been born in the U.S., so that they are now the parents of U.S. citizens. They come out of economic need, mainly from the economically devastated towns and villages of Northern Mexico.
Complicated history
They also come because the history along this border is complicated. Before the U.S. annexed them in the 19th century, California and Texas were part of Mexico. That was a long time ago, but memory too is long, and the border between Mexico and the U.S. has always been porous enough to permit the development of cross-border intimacies of many kinds - economic, social, cultural and political. This is what explains the fact that Bush, a staunch conservative on so many issues, is actually more moderate than many in his party in wanting to provide avenues for undocumented immigrants to become documented and come above ground. He is from Texas, a State that shares a long border with Mexico, and no doubt has an opportunistic political eye on its large Mexican American population.But on the other big issue of the hot immigration debate - the issue of controlling the U.S.-Mexico border to prevent crossings - Bush is not moderate at all. On this issue, all politicians in Washington D.C. seem united. No doubt the border with Mexico will be increasingly fenced and patrolled in days to come. This seems a foregone conclusion, though the prospect scares many ordinary Americans, for it would be a mistake to think such militarisation would be without dire consequences for many who live along the border, on both sides. Men with guns, pumped up on interdiction, can do wild things. The division of opinion amongst the political elite in Washington D.C., then, is more on the issue of undocumented immigrants already within the U.S. On this issue immigrants may have real clout. The millions turning out for marches and rallies demonstrate numbers. These immigrants have economic might - their indispensable cheap labour is a powerful weapon - and even political might. Many of them can't themselves vote, but their children and relatives and friends and employers can. It will not be so easy for politicians to ignore the claims of these people, document-less though some of them may be.
Forcing a debate
The numbers the immigrant rights movement has demonstrated has surprised many and forced a national debate that raises foundational questions for the country. Ultimately the debate is about the country's very character. What kind of a country is the U.S.? Is it a country looking out into the world, expansive and tolerant in its view of itself? Or is it inward looking and anxious and jealous? Behind the hot action and hotter rhetoric, the choice between these two worldviews is at issue. In its time, the old civil rights movement - the movement of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X - held a mirror up to the U.S. and exposed its fallibilities to itself. The new civil rights movement may be doing the same.S. Shankar is a novelist and cultural critic. His latest book is the novel, No End to the Journey.

I have just tried this today in the shade 52 Vanilla and it is good for NC25 NW25 skin. I did not like the original Healthy Mix with the black cap, but I really like this serum one.
In short, if you have combination or oily skin with some dry patches and not many imperfections and want a natural matte finish, get this one!
This is great for oily and combination skin like mine! The consistency is runny and it feels watery (maybe it has no silicon) so it is not the easiest to blend and needs a while to set and dry, but when it does, it leaves a beautiful finish. Very natural looking and feels like skin to the touch as if you have really applied a watery light weight serum with colour pigment to make your skin look better.
I think this foundation offers sheer to medium coverage, and it is not very buidable unless you wait 3 minutes before layering it. Good for oily and combination skin. Shades are neutral so good for yellow and pink based undertones. Feels great on the skin like you are wearing nothing, looks glowy but MATTE and stays like so the whole day.
I was going to return it when I find that it is difficult to layer and blend, but once it sets, I saw how beautiful it looks and decided to keep it because it does not accentuates dry patches on the skin and has friendly ingredients. I will pair it up with a good concealer to cover imperfections instead of trying to build it up.

Who couldn't resist giving this a shot after essiebutton has raved on about it so passionately?! I couldn't (and that's why YouTube marketing works kids). Colour range is poor, 51 is too light for me, 52 is too dark. When I first tried it I thought oh boy, greasy grease. I really had to buff this guy into my face and layer with some powder but it seems the more I use it the less shiny it becomes. I'm not sure if the mixture had settled and there was more oil on top but I'm not complaining now. Can leave dry patches but I've found that only when I touch my face. Don't bother it and its a great foundation!

I have relatively dry, acne prone skin but when I'm having a 'good skin day' I love this foundation. I'd say that if you wanted a product that would completely cover any blemishes this wouldn't be the right one for you, however if you're looking for something linter then I would definitely recommend this foundation. It brightens my skin, it's easy to blend and is very light so I find it perfect in the summer. You can build onto it to make the coverage slightly heavier and if you reapplying during the day it blends in so easily. The packaging claims that it lasts for 16 hours, I never wear my makeup for this long but I haven't noticed it going patchy when I've had it on all day (from about 8am to 7pm). The light consistency makes it easy to apply whether you use a brush or your fingers and I think the packaging is appealing as well. I can definitely see myself repurchasing this foundation again and again.

I have combination skin with dry patches in certain areas from using Retin-A for acne. This foundation did a terrible job, the coverage was so minimal, it covered almost none of my spots, and it accentuated the dry patches. In Canada this is about $26 so I was really disappointed with it. I've used better drugstore products that were way cheaper. The smell is nice, that is about the only good thing I can say.
If you already have flawless skin then I can see this being an okay foundation as it will just even you out, but I needed something with a little more coverage and this did not do it for me!

I had dry skin until 2 years ago when it turned to combination/oily. I always wore tinted moisturizers or mineral powders from The Body Shop, nothing too heavy. When you get older you discover amazing things like blemishes, breakouts, dark circles,oily t-zone and many more (I know I'm very lucky discovering that at 25yo) so I really wanted to find a foundation that was light to medium coverage but that would also mattify my skin. I saw Miss Budget Beauty raving about that foundation, she's got combination/oily skin as well (at the time), it felt like she was talking about me when I read her review so I went out to buy that gem the next day. I went for the shade number 53. You know how painful it is to choose your foundation at the drugstore, they all seems to match, you stay 30 minutes in front of all these bottles that look the same, you have all the shades mixed up together on your hands, arms and sometimes your face until you finally give up and look like a crazy woman asking random chicks if they think it matches your skin. It says : "Instant blending gel, flawless complexion, undetectable coverage" obviously they know what they are talking about. You Bourjois peeps took these words right out of my mouth (I mean my fingers). First of all, it smells AMAHHZING. It contains vitamin fruits, surprise ... it smells fruity. It's divine, you really feel like you're swimming in a fruit bowl. It is a classy glass bottle with a pump, yeah you read that, A PUMP, I don't do foundations with no pump, who has time for that? I rarely apply foundation with my fingers so I used my Real Techniques buffing brush and it felt great but more than anything it looked great! The semi matt finish is perfect and I do have some dry bits on the cheeks but it worked fine. It lasted pretty well through the day but you probably need to touch up with some powder at some point. The bottle seems slim but don't be fooled ladies, it lasts for a while. I do love Bourjois, when I was a kid I used to play with my grandma's blushes and single eye shadows, wishing I could have them all, well now I'm an adult and I can buy them all. Dreams come true. I can't even think about a product from Bourjois that disappointed me so of course I highly recommend that one. When nothing was coming out of the pump anymore (yes, I got sad and asked myself "what am I going to do with my life") I turned it upside down, put it in the toothbrush holder and opened up the bottle. That lasted me for an extra week. Read s'more at http://monellebeauty.blogspot.com.au

I like this foundation; it's not HG for me but it's solid and I could see it working for a lot of skin types. I'm pretty pale (NW15ish) and I actually bought shade 52, which is a bit too dark for me right now, but will be perfect in the summer when I need a lighter foundation like this on anyway. Even with the slight shade mismatch, it does a good job of sinking into & blending in with your skin, which I consider a big plus. It doesn't look like I'm wearing foundation with this, really, and it does not transfer at all which is awesome!! It also feels just great on the skin, not heavy at all. However, the major con is that coverage is quite light/sheer... like almost BB cream status to me. If you want to build it up it uses a lot of product and it's quite messy. But on "good skin days" I really like using this foundation! Finally, the price is good but it's a bit hard to find in the US.

This is a product of good value. Don't miss it, If you like luminous finish. The shade 52 is a little darker for my skin tone. I'm in NC20. Then I'm not a big fan of the scent, and it lasts few hours. Sometimes I think it's just too luminous, i have to use a mat powder to mattify it a bit.

This is a really good foundation. I would compare it to NARS tinted moisturizer but the consistency is thicker, it's not as hard to take off, it feels less heavy on your face but it does tend to emphasize dry patches more. It gives a finish that is pretty matte but slightly dewy to be natural looking. It lasts all day. I have oily skin and I do get oily nearing the end of the day but This is without setting my foundation with powder and the foundation still looks like my own skin. I use half a pump for light to medium coverage. I've never tried to build it up. However, I found that when I put too much on or when I used a foundation brush instead of my hands, it looks cakey. I found the best way to apply is by squirting some into your hands, rubbing your hands together and using your hands to apply it onto your face, a lot like how you'd apply moisturizer. It smells good and I like how the ingredients are for the most part very safe. I think Europe has a system for inspecting the safety of its cosmetics whereas America does not. I ordered it on a website that gives free shipping for orders over $25. I bought two of them $13 each. This is definitely one of the highest quality yet affordable foundations I've found.

I cannot stress enough about how amazing this foundation is! My skin used to be oily all over but now it's more of a combination skin type and this foundation just glides on. I use Benefit's Porefessional as a primer underneath and I love the texture of this amazing foundation. The smell is very fruity and I love that. I love the glow it gives. I look super awake and my skin is even and healthy-looking with this on top. It doesn't have much coverage but that's okay cause I just use MAC's Studio Finish concealer for blemishes and discoloration. Evens out skin beautifully. It has a pump so that's great. Overall, this foundation is the most amazing one I've tried yet.

According to Anders Aslund, economist at the Peterson Institute in Washington, Nobel-prize winner Paul Krugman lashed out on Estonia because he has a personal issue with the Baltic states.
Aslund writes in Postimees that Krugman may have been stinged because he has been forced to admit that his predictions that no Baltic country will recover economically before they devalued their currency were false.
It has now turned out that Krugman was wrong, but he is not ready to admit it, writes Aslund.
In 2007 Krugman claimed that Latvia was the new Argentina. He said that Baltic countries had no option but to devalue their currencies.
This is the reason why he is now claiming that Estonia has should not be an example of those who believe in austerity measures.
Aslund writes that, contrary to Krugman's recommendations, Estonia did not devalue. Instead, it opted for so-called internal devaluation that included huge cuts in public spending and implemented structural reforms.
Many claim that Estonia was a special case, but Latvia and Lithuania who took a similar path and followed similar policies achieved similarly impressive turnaround.
All three Baltic governments did what they were expected to do and the Baltic nations approved it, as shown by general elections in Estonia and Latvia where current coalitions were re-elected.
Krugman's mistakesKrugman's mistakes were that he looked only at one graph and did not think about underlying connections.
He took a very short period and chose not to include the earlier period of rapid economic growth.
He claim that Argentina showed how valuable a devaluation can be is proof that he ignored of the important developments that took place before the crisis.
While Argentine economy grew 15 percent between 1992 and 2003, Latvia's economy expanded an amazing 51 percent between 2000 and 2011.
Secondly, Krugman ignores the real cause of Baltic crises, believing that it was their cost-cutting that caused their crises, while actually it was the lack of international capital supply.
When Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in September 15, world financial markets went into a turmoil and the three Baltic countries lost much of the available international capital.
This caused their GDP to plummet and was the key cause for the economic crisis. As there was also lack of liquidity along with the dramatic decline in GDP, the countries had no other option but to cut spending.
In short, austerity was the result of the GDP decline, and not vice versa. Thirdly, Baltic countries had actually no other choice at the end of 2008. They were facing a massive budget deficit and they could not finance. They had to restore confidence in their currency, and time was running out.
Without their own fiscal space or independence monetary policy, the Baltic countries did not have the luxury of stimulating their economies, as Spain and Cyprus.
Fourth, Estonian crisis solution was both political and economic success story. The Estonian government took advantage of the public opinion that the time of crisis calls for rapid and dramatic action.
When a country is in crisis, you need to act decisively. The government drew up a crisis program and implemented it rapidly. So it was also a public relations success.
Fifth, Krugman has always claimed that the Baltic states need to devalue to increase their exports. In fact, exports have been skyrocketing above all expectations without devaluation.

Verona...a pair of star crossed lovers
... we walked to the picturesque stone bridge 'Ponte Pietra' for a look - windy and cold in the open so took to the streets in search of Juliet's tomb. But with time running out for the return journey and some rather hungry tummies we found a little pizzeria instead - and with a gelati chaser walking back to the stazione.
We arrived back to the apartment to enjoy an Italian inspired meal cooked by Andrew.
Another fabulous day in Italia!!

Cartons for duck eggs
I'm looking for 6-egg cartons in the jumbo size. I found them that are sized for S,M,L, and XL sized eggs, but I'm wondering if they'll work for big duck eggs. I haven't weighed them but they have to be jumbos. Of course I can find jumbo-sized dozen-egg cartons, but I want the six-egg style. Will the S,M,L,XL size work?
My duck eggs are various sizes but even the double yolkers will fit. Unless you have Muscovies they are probably quite large.
Couldnt tell you where to find them we have a recycle place that carries egg cartons toilet paper tubes and just about anything you want. Are you selling them?
Am I selling them?
I hope to. The girls are just starting to lay and right now I'm getting 3 eggs a day providing none get broken, which occasionaly happens. I've got a good laying breed and I hope to increase production soon. I need to get more hens if I want to really tackle duck-egg sales, providing there's a local market. Do you know anything about selling duck eggs?
Not really this is all I know. They sell for 12 dollars a dozen.A buck an egg. They are better for people with cancer than chicken eggs. The only places I have seen them for sale is the internet and a local organic farm.
I have thought of bartering them on craigs list. You might also try sending your info along with how great they are for baking to some local bakeries or chefs.It would be easier to sell them to someone who buys them all then to try the neighbor thing.I have found that even giving them away people turn their noses up at the thought. I had that happen at church until I told them that all the items I had brought for brunches were made with duck eggs and they never knew the difference! Happy quacking!

Not So Good Ol' Boys Network
Florida's former lieutenant governor Jennifer Carroll is speaking out about the good ol' boy network in Gov. Rick Scott's administration. "I still stayed as a team player. I still followed their rules and so forth, and when it came time that I would have expected [Scott] to give me the common courtesy that he gave to his male counterparts there, his chief of staff, who had wrongdoing, he had supported and defended them," she said. "Me, with no wrongdoing, [he] utilized an excuse and asked me to leave office for no reason."

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Israeli generals probably don't cry very often. These are men of steel nerves, professional soldiers toughened by the rigors of battle and a lifetime devoted to strict military discipline.
But there was a moment during his recent swearing-in ceremony when the new chief of staff of the Israeli army, Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz, could not hold back his tears.
That moment came when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu turned from the familiar generalities about army service to a very personal subject: the contrast between the suffering Gantz's mother endured during the Holocaust and the national triumph her son's career symbolizes.
What the audience did not know, however, was that there was also a personal element on Netanyahu's side. Seventy years ago, his father, the scholar and Zionist activist professor Benzion Netanyahu, authored a stirring Passover eve proclamation likewise anchored in the themes of Jewish victory in the face of unbearable persecution and the ability of the Jews to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Prof. Netanyahu's words offer one last lesson to take with us from this year's Passover holiday.
"When your mother was liberated from Bergen-Belsen, she weighed just 28 kilograms [62 lbs.]," the prime minister noted. "I am certain that at the time, she never dreamed that 66 years later her son, yet to be born, would be the 20th chief of staff of the army of the State of Israel, the Jewish state. Perhaps she did not dream of such a thing, but it has come true before our eyes."
Lt.-Gen. Gantz made it clear, in his remarks at the ceremony, that he appreciated the historical significance of the journey from Bergen-Belsen to Jerusalem, from Jewish weakness and homelessness to sovereignty and independence.
"I am the son of the Jewish people's chain of generations," he declared.
The Israeli army, after all, is not just any army, and its chief of staff is not just another general. They are intrinsically connected to the Jews' unique national experience, both in exile and in their homeland.
Which is exactly the point Prof. Benzion Netanyahu made in his Passover 1941 message. At the time, Netanyahu served as executive director of the New Zionist Organization of America, the U.S. wing of the militant Revisionist Zionist movement. He was also editor of its biweekly publication, Zionews.
His lead editorial in each issue of Zionews typically dealt with the latest Palestine-related political developments and controversies, not something from the Jewish calendar. In fact, Netanyahu's April 21, 1941 editorial was the only occasion in the journal's five year-history that he devoted that premier space to a reflection on a Jewish holiday.
"For ages and generations we have assembled in our homes on the first and second evenings of Passover to commemorate the liberation of our forefathers from the slavery of Egypt," he began.
"Thousands of years have passed since; new slavery, hatreds and persecutions followed our race into every corner of the world."
He cited a number of examples of such persecutions, including, of course, the Jews being "burned on the fires of the Spanish Inquisition," which was the subject of the Ph.D. dissertation he was then writing.
Netanyahu also recalled how the Jews were "uprooted [by the Romans] from free and independent Judea to be slaves." They were "beaten and killed by the Cossacks of the Ukraine." The "Russian pogromists shed our blood like water." "The Arab effendis have proclaimed a holy war on us." And "Hitler and Mussolini have started a march of extermination against us."
Yet the suffering of the Jews could never separate them from their faith or extinguish their hopes:
"Through oceans of blood, our blood, through oceans of tears, our tears, hated, persecuted, beaten, wandering and homeless, we assemble at the Passover Seder to thank God for our liberation from Egypt, and to express once again the hope of the [Haggadah]: 'This year we are still slaves – next year we shall be free men.'"
"It is a great hope," Prof. Netanyahu concluded. "It is a great spirit of a great nation. Only a nation of our spiritual caliber could come through the ages of unparalleled sufferings with its spirit unbroken; still alive; still striving for liberty. Next year we shall be free men."
It would, of course, take longer than he hoped, and many innocent Jews, including Benny Gantz's mother, would endure unimaginable suffering.
But in the end, the Jewish nation would survive to see the dream fulfilled, so that one day the son of Prof. Netanyahu would appoint the son of Mrs. Gantz to lead the army of their nation.

MERGER? Merger with who?
How about growth and earnings getting them to 6. A merger is not happening.
Staples cant afford another merger and a merger with Office Max will kill them both
They won't have growth OR earnings as long as the present board is in place. They keep coming up with ways to lose money. They lose 62 million and say their plan is working. Yea. I have checks left so I must have money in my account right?
The preferred shares have to go. Too many millions of dollars going to these guys when the money could be used to better the company. That was bad deal from the beginning. Of course, if the money was available, I am sure the board would find a way to stuff it in their OWN pockets.
And, they don't need a merger: They need to be bought by a better company with nothing left of ODP management. Just do something to save this place and all those jobs.

State and Federal Agencies Announce Salmon Restoration Plans
Federal and state agencies Tuesday announced their plans for restoring endangered salmon and steelhead populations in California's Central Valley.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration plan will include re-introducing winter-run Chinook at cold water pools in Northern California and monitoring the water temperature to make sure it's safe.
Chuck Bonham with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife says the ecosystem restoration plans could take 50 years or more to achieve the desired result.
Bonham: "We will not overnight return them to their historical landscape in a healthy abundant fashion with collaborative partnership in one year, or two years."
Both recovery plans look to return Sacramento River winter-run Chinook, Central Valley spring-run Chinook and Central Valley steelhead to healthy levels.
The state has budgeted $38 million this year for projects like improving water flows in Central Valley rivers and streams, and modernizing operations at the state's fish hatcheries.
