Made by 12 yr olds in China, I'm sure. Seams uneven, very sloppy, but that is NOT why I returned it, in fact my grandmother LOVED it and I went ahead and ORDERED ANOTHER ONE in her SIZE not even realizing they weren't refunding my money. Ha. So now they have TWICE my money. Sh*t heads. All I'm asking for is my refund. Simple? yes? NOPE. They stated long list of reasons (smells, stains, without tags, like 8 possible reasons i might not get my money back, all of which I knew were bogus) I emailed them, called them, hassled with them for two weeks about this.
My choices were the same as other people have experienced -- I get my nightgown back, or they "donate it to homeless." Great. Obviously I have to take it back, to see what in the hell they are talking about (some stupid stain I KNOW is NOT THERE).....I took it back, that was it. My credit card company said that is what "scam" companies do, back people into corners with bad choices -- but in the future tell them I don't want EITHER ChoICE -- and that I would be contacting my attorney AND my credit card company -- and I would be fighting them. (I am fighting them through my VIsa, which has been kind enough to deal with them...we'll see.) STAY AWAY From this Awful, Horrible, Terrible company !!!

Is it possible that a deal to sell Berba has already been done and its gone quiet because those interested parties already know it?Im not sure of the relevance (if any) not to go public but it does seem a bit strange that one of the hottest properties around a few months back has slipped into the background. My guess is its done n dusted and the announcement will be soon! Im dreading it being another PL club but im bracing myself.

Child prostitution: Raids rescue 105 young people
WASHINGTON (AP) – Declaring child prostitution a "persistent threat" in America, the FBI said Monday that authorities had rescued 105 young people and arrested 150 alleged pimps in a three-day sweep in 76 cities.
The agency said it had been monitoring Backpage.com and other websites as a prominent online marketplace for sex for sale. Backpage.com said that it was "very, very pleased" by the raids and that if the website were shut down to the advertisements, the ads would be pushed to sites that wouldn't cooperate with law enforcement.
The young people in the roundup, almost all of them girls, ranged in age from 13 to 17.
The largest numbers of children rescued in the weekend initiative, Operation Cross Country, were in the San Francisco Bay and Detroit areas, along with Milwaukee, Denver and New Orleans. The operation was conducted under the FBI's decade-long Innocence Lost National Initiative. The latest rescues and arrests were the largest such enforcement action to date.
"Child prostitution remains a persistent threat to children across the country," Ron Hosko, assistant director of the bureau's criminal investigative division, told a news conference. "We're trying to put this spotlight on pimps and those who would exploit."
In Operation Cross Country, federal, state and local authorities cooperated in an intelligence effort aimed at identifying pimps and their young victims.
The FBI said the campaign has resulted in rescuing 2,700 children since 2003. The investigations and convictions of 1,350 individuals have led to life imprisonment for 10 pimps and the seizure of more than $3.1 million in assets.
In their efforts to identify child victims, investigators seek help wherever they can find it _ in some cases from adult prostitutes, Hosko said. He said almost all the victims in sweeps like the one over the weekend are girls and that the profiles of the victims cut across racial lines and boundaries of wealth.
Social media are a common denominator in many of the rescues.
"We are seeing it more and more, kids being put out on the street and being trafficked because of the Internet," said Detective Angela Irizarry of the Hayward Police Department, not far from San Francisco. "Many of these kids come from runaway or group homes and they feel like this is the only way for them to survive on the street."
She said her department identified three girls, ages 15, 16 and 17 and a woman seen dropping off two of the girls was arrested as a pimp. One of the girls was a runaway, another had been missing from a group home for several months and a third ran away off and on from her family's home, Irizarry said. The detective said she had not had a chance to speak with the girls and does not know how long they had been involved in prostitution, but that one of them "is denying any involvement of the individuals we had arrested for pimping. That is typical. Usually these girls don't immediately give up their pimps."
Irizarry said a multi-agency, cross-country effort was necessary because local police departments do not always have the resources to investigate tips about child sex trafficking.
Last year, five members of the Underground Gangster Crips contacted teens at school or through Facebook, DateHookUp.com or other online social networking sites, enticing the girls to use their looks to earn money through prostitution.
As for websites, Liz McDougall, the general counsel for Backpage.com, said that if that site were shut down to the advertisements in question, the information that can lead to the rescues would be lost to law enforcement because the ads would be pushed to "offshore uncooperative websites."
"We feel very strongly that we're doing the right thing, and we're going to continue to do the right thing and we congratulate the FBI and everybody with the task forces involved in the program," said McDougall.
In earlier sweeps, child prostitution victims have been recovered at major sporting events _ including the NCAA Final Four and Super Bowl, Hosko said.
In the 1990s, gangs took control of street prostitution across America; that forced pimps to move girls into sporting events where security existed, said Dr. Lois Lee, founder and president of Children of the Night, a nonprofit group that has rescued 10,000 children from prostitution since 1979.
Hosko said the plight of the young people often goes unreported to authorities because the children in many instances are alienated from their families and are no longer in touch.
In Oakland, Calif., police Lt. Kevin Wiley said authorities are "always afraid" for the girls.
"They usually get into this because they are running away from something else," said Wiley. "You're trying to find out what brought them into this lifestyle in the first place. It goes way beyond law enforcement to solve this epidemic."
Pimps operate wherever vulnerable potential victims can be found. Some are being recruited right out of foster care facilities, Hosko said.
For the past decade, the FBI has been attacking the problem in partnership with a private group, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
John Ryan, the head of the center, called the problem "an escalating threat against America's children."
The Justice Department has estimated that nearly 450,000 children run away from home each year and that one-third of teens living on the street will be lured toward prostitution within 48 hours of leaving home.
Congress has introduced legislation that would require state law enforcement, foster care and child welfare programs to identify children lured into sex trafficking as victims of abuse and neglect eligible for protections and services.
"In much of the country today, if a girl is found in the custody of a so-called pimp she is not considered to be a victim of abuse, and that's just wrong and defies common sense," Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said during a Senate Finance Committee hearing last month. Wyden co-sponsored the legislation with Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio.

quote: But if you lose or damage your optical media, you are also out of luck.
quote: The likelihood of damaging a disc is far higher than the likelihood of Steam going under
quote: I have hundreds of games I have downloaded, whether from Steam, or GoG, or some Asian MMO publisher. I wouldn't want to have to store the media for all of them.
quote: Hard to stash it in a closet if you plan on playing it regularly, unless their is no disc-based DRM.
quote: But since this was originally about console games, how many console games can be played without the disc?
quote: Now, on the PC, it is different. You can usualy find a cracked loader that allows you to skip placing the disc in, or at least you could back when I actually bought discs. I assume that is still true. So your archiving argument makes more sense on PCs.
quote: f Steam did go under, one of the other digtal distributors would take its place and you could buy from them.
quote: Some day they'll turn the servers off for Diablo III. And WoW and everything else. When that day happens, all the time and money you spent on that game, expansion packs, whatever...*poof* gone. If you have a game on disk, and there's not any required server connection to play it, you never lose your ability to play that game.
quote: And yet you name 2 games that still won't play even if you have the disk.
quote: Sorry that your ISP sucks so bad
quote: I know the limits of DSL
quote: But you live in an area that is easily dense enough population to warrant a CO being put there.
quote: That is why I said the ISP in your area sucks. I was not aware that it is common in the USA for ISPs to routinely abandon that many potential customers.
quote: Before I moved where I am, I lived in a town of approx 1500 people with no nearby urban centers. We had DSL there. Every village in my province has had DSL for at least a decade.

It Was A Huge Mistake Not To Invite Chris Christie To CPAC
Conservatives did not appreciate Chris Christie's photo-ops with President Obama right before the 2012 election.

10. Fashion editors love to nitpick his apparel.
9. Christie is a social media BOSS.
8. And he is in charge of a place with this bridge.
7. People pay attention to him on an international level.

6. And he is perfect for headlines.
5. He is tough on the media.
4. And even though the media likes to make fun of him…
Via buzzfeed.com
…He actually kind of intimidates them.
3. And that's why Time magazine gave him this cover:
2. His CPAC speech would surely have been very critical of the President…

So conservatives say to CPAC: Y U NO LIKE CHRIS CHRISTIE?

Skip to comments.A Haditha Marine Father Has a Question for Alan Colmes [Update at post 216: Colmes Apologizes!]
Posted on 02/11/2007 3:56:49 PM PST by RedRover
On the February 9th broadcast of Hannity & Colmes, Alan Colmes made an outrageous and poisonous statement that was not corrected on air.
Speaking to Oliver North, Colmes supported Congressman John Murtha's ugly and destructive lie that, "no question about it", Marines in Haditha had "killed innocent civilians in cold blood".
Defending the indefensible, Colmes told the viewers that there have been "confessions and convictions" in the Haditha Marine case.
Now Darryl Sharratt, the father of a Haditha Marine has a question:
"I would like to ask Alan Colmes where he got his information. There have been no convictions. There have been no confessions."
On the February 10th broadcast of Kit Jarrell's The Front Line, Mr. Sharratt stated, "Evidently, he is not doing the research to be on national television. He comes out in front of millions of people and makes this statement and it is 100% wrong."
So what now, Fox News?
If Mr. Colmes' false assertion continues to be left uncorrected, Fox News will contribute to a tainted jury pool, cause additional pain to the families, and mislead supporters and potential donors to the Haditha Marine defense funds. Through his statement, Mr. Colmes reached millions of people with the message that guilt has already been established.
Fox News and Alan Colmes must make amends...
1. Fox News owes its viewers the opportunity to hear from Darryl Sharratt or other Haditha Marine family members to set the record straight. None of the Haditha Marines have yet faced a hearing. Anything that is known about the case or the investigation has been leaked by prosecutors and politicians. The media has been complicit in this and it must stop now.
2. Alan Colmes owes the Marines and their families an apology. I suggest he make it in the form of a donation to any of the Haditha Marine Defense Funds. (For Mr. Colmes' convenience, all the information he needs about fund donations is here).
These are fair requests to make of a news channel long supported by patriots. Now it's up to Alan Colmes and Fox News.
David Allender
Defend Our Marines
PS. If you have a blog or post online at military websites, please help spread the word. We will keep you posted.
You can e-mail any or all of the addresses below to ask that a Haditha Marine family member be given a chance to appear on Fox News to set the record straight....
For Oliver North, who heard Colmes' remark...
The Haditha Marine families feel abandoned by the world. Their only support is coming from the Internet. Hope you can lend a hand!
If you weren't pinged, let jazusamo or me know if you want on the Haditha Marine Ping List.
Colmes is one of the STRANGEST looking people I've ever seen.
Come on y'all, click on these links and send some emails.
email@example.com Oliver North
I think proudofthesouth needs your photo of Homely Colmes.
And one of the most irritating.I can't watch H&C anymore,I'm afraid I'll do an Elvis to the TV.
Even I can do that! Thanks Jaz.
He's a person? Are you sure? Actually, he isn't that attractive, but I don't mind the guy.
I am going to print this out and put it over at the Big Apple deli, hopefully Alan gets to see it as he walks in for breakfast.
He always has reminded me of The Grinch - only in human(?) form.
I asked alan, didn`t give me a good answer:
I've wondered why this has been buried since we were supposed to find out the results of the investigation last summer.
Please ping me with updates.
E-Mail sent.
WOW!!! That is great!!!
Thanks, rockblues!
Belated ping!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
I'm going to do what I do best in these situations. I'm going to pray for Darryl Sharratt to have his time with Alan Colmes. hehehehehe! The Lord provides. Go get'em Mr. Sharratt.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my miscellaneous ping list.
"Colmes is one of the STRANGEST looking people I've ever seen."
I think of him as a giant version of that thing that jumps out at you when youre trimming shrubs in the back yard.
Thanks for the heads up...
Good for the father for going public with his outrage.
Darryl Sharratt reads a U. S. Marine Corp press release that details the murder charge against his son, Marine Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt, prior to a briefing at Camp Pendleton, Calif., Thursday Dec. 21, 2006. Lance Cpl. Sharratt is charged with murder in the death of Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha in 2005. Sharratt's mother, Theresa, and sister, Jaclyn, look on as Sharratt's father reads the charges that evolve eight Marines in all. (AP Photo/Lenny Ignelzi).
Folks, this is a freep. This is what we're here for, not to be just keyboard commandos.
Mash those links and let them all have a piece of your mind......and then let us know on this thread that you just FREEPED the Creep, Alan Colmes.
I already sent one to Brit Hume. He's the only one with any brains and influence over there. I don't want Colmes to straighten up. I want him fired.
your wish is my command redrover - emails sent and copies to those in my address book also.
He looked like this:
You're welcome and THANK YOU, Leni.
Alan Colmes made a false statement. I'm shocked...SHOCKED!
That is the Colmes technique, and indeed one practiced by the liberal neofacists. It's called the "Big Lie".
Many thanks, Chickenhawk! Great working with you!
I agree. Whenever I see Hannity and Colmes together, all I can think of is "Beauty and the Beast". Colmes wouldn't be so "beastly" if his politics wasn't so gross.
Just sent an e-mail.
Sent mine to Ollie, Roger Ailes and O'Reilly. Colmes is a waste of time.
Sent, thanks for the links.
Here's the pertinent part of the segment:
HANNITY: You know, we've had instance after instance, Colonel, John Murtha. Our troops are, you know, cold blooded killers. And John Kerry, terrorizing the women and children in the dark of night in Iraq. You have this new controversy over the NBC guy, William Arkin. What are your thoughts?
NORTH: Well, sadly, NBC hasn't repudiated those comments. I worked for NBC. I'm very pleased with the fact that I had three years on that network before I came to FOX. I've tried hard never to say anything bad about them.
But I'm disappointed that Arkin's comments have not been repudiated by the management. He's basically in the same league as Richard "Dick" Durbin who likened American's troops to those who served Stalin and Hitler and Cambodia's murderous Pol Pot. Same league with people like Murtha, who accused Marines of cold blooded murder and, of course, you mentioned John Kerry.
HANNITY: Yes.
NORTH: The shame of it is that Mr. Arkin doesn't know what he's talking about. I lived with these guys. We'd go out there, and we spent months with these guys. Eight trips to Iraq now, literally, as long in Iraq as I've been in the war in Vietnam.
And you see these young patriots and what they're really like, the young American warriors who volunteered to serve their country. That's what we do in tour trips to Iraq. It's too bad Mr. Arkin hasn't seen them that way.
HANNITY: Why is it that we're getting one attack after another? Colonel, we spent the entire week in the United States Senate. These brave men that you describe, and they are heroes, and they believe in the mission.
And the idea that we have the United States Senate literally debating this week, the idea that they're going to come up with a nonbinding, meaningless resolution. I call it the Embolden our Enemies Act. The Congress is going to do it next week. That basically says, the mission can't succeed.
I'm stunned that this is the -- and then they say they support the troops. That's not supporting the troops.
NORTH: You know, Sean, what we've had is this is the first war America has ever fought in which we get our news from the enemy. And awful lot of the footage that the American people have been treated to ever since Baghdad was liberated is footage shot by people from al Jazeera, Al Arabiya, Egypt TV, Lebanon TV.
In other words, reporters who stand on balconies and report from inside the Green Zone and who put that up as news. It's basically coverage that was obtained from people traveling with our enemies. Never happened before.
COLMES: Hey, Ollie, it's Alan.
First of all, Murtha turned out to have correct information. Dick Durbin was talking about treatment at Gitmo specifically, not all the soldiers.
NORTH: Alan, let's deal with these one at a time before...
COLMES: Sure. We don't have a lot of time but let's deal with them.
NORTH: There's no proof of what Mr. Murtha said, because those trials have not taken place yet. And you believe, as I do...
COLMES: Well, there have been confessions.
NORTH: ... innocent until proven guilty.
COLMES: There have been convictions and confessions.
Secondly, Dick Durbin was talking about Gitmo, and Arkin was writing to the Washington Post when he said the things he's saying, not NBC, where he's also a contributor.
He was talking about the fact that, in spite of Gitmo, in spite of some of these allegations, the American people still do support the troops. That's what Arkin said.
NORTH: I'll invite any of those guys, any of the ones that just named, to come with me back to al Anbar where American soldiers, Marines, sailors, are training and equipping Iraqis and fighting side by side with them and winning a war that they say can't be won. And I'll tell you they are wrong........
THANK YOU, angelsonmyside.
If Roger Ailes and the Powers That Be have brains, they'll see this as the last straw and give Colmes the boot. (Though I would like to see his last paycheck go to the Marines' defense funds.)
That was good; Thanks for posting
Thanks, angels!
Excellent! I know that deli and would to see Colmes' face if he reads it!
Thanks for posting this... so you have access to lexis-nexis eh?...hmmmm.. :)
Although he's usually way ahead of me and probably already has it.
I don't have any special access to lexis-nexis, though. Alot of their stuff is free if you can find it.;-)
The way Colmes and Murtha are going at this you'd think they had something to do with the killings themselves and simply want to make sure the blame goes elsewhere.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
In January 2009, the company changed the pay plan; they started paying us salary and added an extra day of work if we didn't hit our targeted sales number. The number corporate chose was one that only the top 10% of the route drivers in our region consistently hit. The extra day of work became a mandatory 10 hours or 12 hours if we didn't obtain 5 new customers on that day.
I was logging 60+ hours per week. I was exhausted and not recovering physically from one long day to the next, week to week. I started asking my manager questions, like was this legal for them to keep adding hours for no additional pay? I also mentioned that I went to the Labor and Industry website and read some things that explained what Schwan's was doing was wrong. (I list them out below) Needless to say, I got no where fast.
In fact, I became a victim of retaliation. I have never received one previous corrective action notice on any topic until I started asking questions about our long and required hours. The environment at work was becoming a hostile oneI was promptly written up for not leaving the depot by 9am. It wasn't a previous rule, nor was anyone else in our depot required to leave by 9am. I argued that this wasn't fair, but my complaint went no where. So, I called our HR department and talked to Theresa. I asked her several questions about the goings on at our depot.
To this day she nor HR have ever gotten back to me. What she did do was call my manager and tell him that I called, because when I got back to the depot that night after my route, he tried to write me up again! I argued with him, again, and I refused to sign the write up. I told him I called HR because I thought he was picking on me and making me work extra and unfair hours. He said that he knew I called HR. I told him this was retaliation.
I was suspended the following week for going home sick during one of my route days. I had not called in sick this entire year and was suspended pending an investigation for 4 days. Since I had no idea how long my suspension was going to be or if I was getting paid during that time, I thankfully found another job and quit.
I continued to educate myself on the State of Washington Labor and Industry website http://www.lni.wa.gov . I also called and spoke to someone to verify the information. I recently filed a formal complaint with L&I and they have accepted my claim. They have notified Schwan's to pay me 182 hours of unpaid overtime. My claim is based on the following 2 violations which I copied from the L&I website.
Administrative Policy
Exemption from minimum wage and overtime requirements for outside sales positions
ES.A.9.7 page 4
#8 Employees must be free to regulate own hours. Outside sales employees must be free to regulate their own hours and set their own work time. The time spent is totally at the employees discretion and an employer of outside salespeople has no control over the total number of hours worked by the employees.
#9 Employer must advise of outside sales status. Merely advising a person that he/she is an outside salesperson does not establish exempt status. The individual must be specifically advised that the outside sales position is an overtime-exempt job.
P.S. I will update this report if I win this claim!

Speaking with Cape Cod Commission Executive Director Paul Niedzwiecki last week, County Commissioners Chair Mary Pat Flynn spoke of her concern about "the ocean encroaching on our watersheds."
"We have to look at sea-level rise," Niedzwiecki replied, noting that recent storms in Maine "put wastewater facilities underwater." Unfortunately, he added, "We don't have anyone on Cape who's a coastal resource economist. We have developed a job description for an environmental economist."
The cost of failing to prepare for sea-level rise was evident in the New York metropolitan area in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. New federal flood zone maps are prompting reassessments.

for dropshipping business.
This company cooperates with a few dozens suppliers who provides dropshipping plans for resellers
If you visit the website you can see 3 different Plans:
1. eBay Plan for 99.99$/year or 24.99$/month (with this plan you can sell dropship product on ebay)
2. website Plan for 299.99$/year or 39.00$/month (with this plan you have an autoupdate website)
3. datafeed plan for 149.99$/year or 24.99$/month (with this plan you have csv files with products)
First of all i have pay a monthly datafeed Plan (24.99$) and i have ask for an Amazon csv file to import it
in my amazon inventory. I have choose a big supplier with 140.000 products and i have ask for a price markup 20%
I have downloated my first csv file and i have import it in my Amazon.com inventory and i have see this 2 problems:
Problem 1: the inventory was in about 5.000 products and not 140.000 products
Problem 2: i have sell my first product and i have see that the price & wholesale2b fees was higher than my profit
So the next i have ask for a new csv file with 60% markup because with the 20% i have lost money, after that i realise
that i was have the same problem again with some of my products and also nobody buy my products because of the high prices
So i have cancel the datafeed plan and after a few months i have buy the website plan for 299.99$/year
I was believe that with the website plan the prices and the products stock will updates automatically.
The next day i realise that i was have the same problem as Amazon with the prices.
After that i have check the admin panel and this is some of the problems:
1. i do not have an rss feed or any options about that, so i can not autoupdate my facebook & twitter page & also my customers can not informed about any new products
2. i do not have any options about facebook intergration. this is the A & Z to a website advertising
3. i can not also add a favicon in my website. believe me i have a server with 90$/year and unlimited traffic and i have pay those crooks 270$ and i can't even add a favicon in my website.
4. i can not change html or css.
5. i can not change the position of my main page gadgets (not even change the categories to be first in the left side panel)
6. i can not edit the categories menu, i was want the subcategories to be in the categories menu and not in main page.
So clearly i have lost 299.99$ (website plan) + 24.99$ (datafeed plan) = 324.98$
Be aware of those Crooks, before you go there just check the contact us page and you will see that you can only contacting them by email or support ticket. You will not see any Phone number or fax.
This is a Crooks company and you will loose your money. The customer service replie's after 24 hours without any help.
After the payment they have not provide me any documentation, VAT etc. i'm sure that are tax avoiders.

SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 26, 2013POSTED: Saturday, January 26, 2013
After speaking with Nikolas, we decided that it would be best to provide him with the datafeed plan instead of the website plan to meet his immediate requirements. Although many of the things listed on the complaint can be accomplish very easily, Nikolaos preferred to use our feed plan which was granted.
Nikolaos also informed me that he contacted Ripoffreport to have this complaint removed, however I decided to post a quick reply since the complaint was not removed yet.
If anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I am always willing to help and answer any questions.

Posted by TheViceIs tesselation really that noticeable in today's games? I've played a couple of games sporting it like Crysis 2 and Deus Ex and I couldn't really tell the difference if not for some comparison screen shots on the net. If the implementation was like something similar to the Heaven benchmark then I would be having that setting enabled.

The Pink Pajama Peeps LEGO Robotics team from Linus Pauling Middle School recently took home a second place Google Project Presentation Award from the Intel Oregon FIRST LEGO League Championship Tournament in Hillsboro.
The January competition drew nearly 120 top tournament-qualifying teams from across Oregon and southwest Washington. Each team of 9-14 year olds programmed their custom-made robot to compete on various robot missions, displayed their research presentation focused on this year's theme of food safety, and presented to three panels of judges.
The Google Project Presentation Award is given to teams that effectively communicate their research problem and proposed solution to both the judges and other potential supporters. In their focus on food safety, the LPMS team's research project was about increasing the safety of egg production. The Pink Pajama Peeps team includes Mischa Neal, Gabi Garza, Cypress Casprowiak, Phoebe Mallory, Kaiana Bradley, and Lyn Carson; their coaches are Joseph and Crystal Neal.
An elementary Lego Robotics team from Franklin K-8 School named Franklinstein brought home a first place prize from the same competition and will be representing the Corvallis School District at the upcoming state level competition.

"We had a hot air balloon theme that had banners hanging, and this sticker was a PERFECT way to send off our guests. We used these on his party favor bags, and it just looked really adorable."
"I ordered these labels to place on favor bags for my husband's 50th birthday. They look exactly as shown. They were shipped quickly and I received them earlier than I expected,which helped a great deal. I would certainly order from here again!!"
"This is so cute and perfect for Christmas packages next year! I love the color and that the from is already printed! So handy :)"
"The only hard part about making these labels was having to choose from so many beautiful options! They were easy to customize and the finished label looked just like I designed it. Love them!"
"I used these on the Valentine's my daughter took to school for her friends. They were great. I sealed all her little gift bags with the sticker. It made things so easy and adorable. They are darling!"

Coke bottles, beer bottles, gas cylinders, beer boxes, and large water bottles are all returnable.
The way it works is this:
You give a deposit for the 'container'. Then you can bring the container, and they'll take it in, and give you a new one where you only pay the liquid/content. When you no longer require the container, you can give it back to them and if it is in good shape they will return the deposit in exchange for the container.
Many months ago, I bought my containers (over $100 worth as I bought 3 boxes of beer, 72 bottles of small beer, several large bottles of beer, 1 cylinder of gas, a bunch of coke bottles). Since it was a bit of money, I was very careful to ask:
"Do I need to keep the receipt in order to give these back"
The answer: "no, you just bring them in"
I didn't trust the clerk, as people in this country tend to have a habit of not being very accurate in the transmission of information. So I went to the customer desk, and saw how people came, put the bottles in a specifically placed shopping cart for it, and receive a receipt which they changed in the cashier.
So I used my bottles/containers. I never had any trouble. I'd bring in the bottles, pay for the liquid, and leave with fresh beer/water/gas. I was happy.
Until the day I asked for my deposit back, many months after purchase and after having thrown away the receipt. I have been cutting back on my drinking, so I decided to cash a few of my beer bottles. I went to the desk, asked for it, and in a disparaging tone, was told by an employee name: H a z e l C.a.m.p.o.s that without a receipt I could not get my deposit back.
Upon explaining that I was told it was not needed, and that they never asked for my receipt when I used the bottles to purchase more liquid, she said that it wasn't her problem and asked if I cared to speak to her supervisor. Her supervisor J.e.n.n.i.f.e.r E s p i n o z a repeated company mantra 'without a receipt, screw you'
I'm a frequent customer of this establishment, I have purchased from them for many, many years. I literally spend $500+ per month at their store. And yet when I ask for my messily deposit back.... this is asking for too much.
BEWARE: If they ask for a deposit that they are supposed to return, don't expect it back. I'm sure if I had my receipt they would have found something 'disatisfactory' and an excuse for not giving my deposit back. This is actually standard practice in this country. In over 6 years of renting from 5 different landlords, I never got my security deposit back, no matter how much I stuck to contract rules.
If I had purchased from any other company, I wouldn't have expected anything given back, no matter how much right I have to it. But I expected more from Walmart.

Now that you've had bright new business cards printed, and accept been distributing them diligently, what do you do with the cards you aggregate from added people?
If you're like a lot of people, you accept a assemblage of rubber-banded cards amphibian about you desk. Or you accept been application them as bookmarks, toothpicks, and acclimated gum wrappers and they are all over your office, car, wallet and purse?
Without a acceptable filing system, the advice on those cards is useless. So apple-pie out your board and advance a arrangement for prioritizing, organizing, and afterward up with those contacts.
High Tech or Old School?
There are two choices for acclimation business cards:
- The acceptable way of befitting them in a agenda file
- The abreast adjustment of befitting acquaintance advice on a computer file
When you acknowledgment from a networking affair or barter show, afore you do annihilation else, amend your contacts. Rank the cards you've calm in adjustment of accent afore you put them away. Abstracted balmy leads who are acceptable to accompany you business, humans with whom you absolutely wish to chase up, and whose advice you wish at your fingertips. This can cover prospects, humans you will accredit to others, or who will forward referrals to you.
Don't be abashed to bandy abroad cards from humans you will never acquaintance or refer. You can book algid leads about abroad or bung them into the trash.
Know Your ABZ's…
How you index and book your cards is up to you. Decide how you bethink advice best — whether it's by aggregation names, people's names, or by category. Perhaps you are bigger able to acquisition advice if it is organized by arena or department. Then, index them appropriately.
You ability aswell book by date or by the accident area you met the person. Just accept one way and stick to it. For instance, don't book some by endure name and others by business name, or you'll never acquisition what you're analytic for in a pinch.
Electronic = Portable and Duplicable
Storing acquaintance advice on the computer keeps your appointment neater and is one added footfall against the paperless office. For a lot of humans analytic on computer is added able than rummaging through cardboard cards. In seconds, you can run a array and locate contacts by company, name, dog's name, date you met, etc. If you accompany plan home with you, it's simple to alike your acquaintance list, rather than carriage your absolute Rolodex with you.
Storing advice electronically is aswell able for architecture commitment lists and press labels. But remember, backup, backup, backup. I was a high-tech aficionado until my harder drive comatose and I didn't accept a advancement of my computer database. Acceptable affair I kept those harder copies!
There are abundant programs on the bazaar to adapt acquaintance information, such as Act or Outlook. I put all of my advice in Microsoft Access.
For a low-tech backup, I use a artificial agenda book box with alphabetical dividers, filing my cards by endure name. I aswell adopt to use cellophane sleeves to abundance business cards in, back I about consistently book business cards instead of autography the advice on bare cards. The sleeves are a compatible size, befitting the box tidy. But you may be different–any arrangement will work, as continued as you are constant with it.
To Accumulate or Not to Keep?
Some humans say you should accumulate every business agenda you accept anytime received, while others anticipate you should bandy abroad the cards you will never use. With the acceleration of humans affective about and switching companies today, I bandy abroad cards of contacts I haven't been in blow with for three years. By again their acquaintance advice has absolutely changed, so even if I did wish to get in blow with them, it's not acceptable that I will.
If you assert on captivation on to old information, annal those business cards in a abstracted database or agenda box. Back I accomplish addendum on the backs of cards if I accommodated people, I consistently apperceive the date if I aboriginal fabricated contact; addendum aswell advice brace my anamnesis of humans I haven't been in abutting acquaintance with.
Finally, bethink to chase up with your contacts! Accumulate a agenda and goals for authoritative acquaintance by buzz calls, emails, or snail mail. Periodically go through your filing arrangement and amend or annul old information. The acumen you abundance this advice is to accumulate in blow with humans — use your new acclimation arrangement to break able and your business will thrive!

Story Highlights
Investment Team
Derrick Hamilton
Vice President, Global Economist
We have consistently cited our concerns about a lack of government leadership globally, and particularly in the U.S., as an ongoing issue for the economic and market outlook. Recent policy events in the U.S. have further highlighted this issue as a key risk.
We have written many times about what we consider a lack of global leadership. We think this is a fundamental problem in the global economic outlook because continued indecision and infighting among policy makers weigh on market and consumer confidence. In our view, the situation also results in a lack of clarity for eventual decision making.
The focus recently has shifted to the U.S., where politicians in Washington, D.C. continue to cause anxiety in financial markets. Less than a year ago, markets were jolted by concerns about the "fiscal cliff" of spending and tax issues. Now there is another battle, this time about the fiscal 2014 budget and an increase in the debt ceiling. While these issues are important to debate, the brinksmanship makes us wonder why the country has these repeated policy crises. Why do U.S. politicians continually disagree on issues that could have severe consequences, both in the U.S. and globally?
We believe the answer comes down to the polarization of the U.S. Congress. Studies have shown that Congress is more divided now than at any time in recent history. This brings about an unwillingness to compromise. However, the legislative branch of the U.S. government and its interaction with the executive branch were created in ways that require compromise. As long as members of the federal government are unwilling to compromise and then legislate, we think U.S. politics are likely to remain a sporadic headwind for the markets and the overall economy.
The latest inability to come to an agreement over the budget in the form of a continuing resolution caused a U.S. government shutdown for the first time since the mid-1990s. It seems increasingly likely that resolution to the shutdown will be tied to a needed increase in the debt ceiling. Furthermore, it appears to us that members of the Republican leadership in Congress realize the ramifications of a technical default if the debt ceiling is not increased. We think there is a chance of a short-term solution — "kicking the can" down the road, so to speak — but that would mean policy makers still will need to deal with the same issues again in the next few months. While this means that markets could remain nervous in the short term, we think an increase in the debt ceiling is likely to get the U.S. past mid-term elections in November 2014.
In addition, it appears Congress may negotiate on additional deficit-reduction items during the next few months. In our view, this could include reforms in entitlement programs and tax laws, approval of the long-debated Keystone pipeline and some easing of the "sequester" that results in discretionary spending cuts each year. Whatever the outcome on the budget and debt ceiling, it is possible that there will be a similar battle at the endof next year or in early 2015.
Policy from the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) also has been a key market factor in recent months. Many economists expected the Fed at the Sept. 17-18 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee to reduce the pace of purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities, otherwise known as tapering. Those expectations were based on comments in the spring from Fed officials, which briefly caused bond yields to rise and stocks to fall. The Fed, however, surprised markets in September by announcing it would not make a change.
In its subsequent statement and the press conference with Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, the Fed stated it needed more data to be sure that the labor market was improving sufficiently following the previous move higher in Treasury yields. Equity markets rallied, bond yields fell and the U.S. dollar weakened. Why were markets so surprised?
In May, Bernanke said he could foresee tapering sometime later in the year. As more Fed officials commented on the topic, it seemed that a consensus was building inside the Fed for action as early as the September meeting. While it has not been uncommon for central banks to surprise markets, the Fed under Bernanke has focused on transparency and communication with market participants and the public at large. This approach does not guarantee the Fed will signal every move, but it has led markets to believe that when the Fed says it will do something, it will follow through.
One of the Fed's tools in recent years has been "forward guidance," or giving the market direction on when to expect an increase in short-term interest rates. If the market cannot believe the Fed when it seems that officials are signaling a policy move such as tapering, can the market believe the Fed when it says that rates will stay unchanged until sometime in 2015? Given the reaction of stock and bond markets to its latest comments, we believe the Fed needs to be careful to guard its credibility from being damaged.
What do these issues mean for the U.S. economy? We think the effects on economic growth from the battle over the continuing resolution are likely to be quite small. For example, the House of Representatives already has passed a bill providing back pay for government workers after the government reopens. The Department of Defense also has announced it will allow all defense workers to return to their jobs. In our view, most economists think that the hit to economic growth would equate to roughly 0.1 percentage point for every week the government is closed.
We think failure to raise the debt ceiling would be disastrous, with the potential for markets to plummet and economic growth to weaken dramatically or even fall back into recession. But we do not expect this outcome. We still believe U.S. economic growth is set to improve, although the recent deadlock in Washington brings some concern.
Internationally, growth continues to improve, mostly in line with our prior outlook. We think the economy in Europe is set to post slightly positive growth for both the third and fourth quarters of 2013. Growth in Japan has slowed a bit, although the government has confirmed a hike in the value added tax next year. We think this means growth is likely to increase through the first quarter of 2014 before falling off in the second quarter. In China, growth has been a bit stronger than we expected, with the domestic economy picking up in the last few months.
Emerging markets outside of China have been mixed. Those countries with large current account deficits have seen some pressure on their economies and currency exchange rates during the last several months. Local policymakers responded with higher rates and tighter liquidity, which we think should result in slower growth for the foreseeable future. Many emerging market countries have had significant inflows into local fixed-income markets, as well as stronger credit growth. We think these flows could be reversing, which would put further pressure on growth for some countries. Conversely, we think the outlook is brighter for those countries that have comfortable current account surpluses or that have not had strong credit growth. Many in this group are exposed to stronger growth in developed markets.
Overall, we think the global economic outlook should improve further as we head into 2014, driven by a recovery in developed markets that seems to be under way. However, we believe the lack of global political leadership and the inability for policy makers to reach decisions are, as always, a risk going forward.
