Summer seems to have made
one more curtain call.
Another glorious day in the sun calls
for a tart green delight such as this.
Dancing, darting among the flowers;
tangy tomato leaves and sassy musk
leave a perky contrail of energy behind.
Notes; blackcurrant, tomato leaves, verbena,
fig leaves, white musk

i just got a 30 ml bottle from a dear friend. it's a work of art:
Hey Leesee! Good to see you, gal.
I'm a house twin with you, in Andy Tauer's gorgeous Un Rose Chypree that I bought in Zurich with the lovely Potiron.
Have a good day, all.

I'm streamlining my collection http://community.basenotes.net/showt...29#post1219729
I am back from vacation, too, freshly showered after some camping and hiking, and ready to be my cool perfumed self. I brought with me 6 samples from DSH, all of them FB worthy, but maybe I am super excited so I decided to take a break from them.
Chanel Beige for me this quiet overcast morning.
I needed something different today. I fished around among my samples and now I'm wearing a sample of Après L'Ondée.
This is one thing samples are good for-- just to give you a break from your usual stuff.
Happy Birthday Mumsy!
Hi Lessa, enjoy your vacation! (we're also headed to SF later this week!)Welcome back Leesee!
SOTD: Jasmin et Cigarette
Egoiste (Chanel)
SOTD: Laila (actually, just a bit of the lotion)
I bought this one on impulse, because the set (edp, lotion, and mini) came in the cutest blue and white bag. (I know that sounds ridiculous.) The scent itself is very strong (must apply edp very judiciously) - but the lotion is really great. Nice light texture, not sticky, and just the right amount of scent.
Happy birthday wishes to Mumsy from me, too!
Geez oh Pete! You basenoters smell exceptionally fine today!
I'm wearing Putain des Palaces by Etat Libre d'Orange
Happy Birthday MUMSY!!!
Wall Street by Bond No.9
First day back to work after a taking half a week off is killing me

My bottle is non-vintage EDT, so it doesn't last more than 3-4 hours on me.
Happy birthday, Mumsy ... yay!
SotE - Dune pour Homme
SotN - Mitsouko, EdP ... scent twin with my American girlfriend and the one who knits at night!
Happy Birthday to Mumsy! Hope your day was extra special!
Hi Leesee, good to see you again.
I finally bought Narciso Rodriguez' For Her edt (the black bottle), so I've been wearing that all day.
My weirdness today:
Sometime during the night I got into my perfume amoire & pulled out most, if not all, of my rose scents. I found them neatly arranged on my dresser this morning & I only vaguely recall doing it. Wasn't there something about people sleep walking or sleep driving when they took Ambien? If so, then I'm sleep perfume arranging!
"You smell like sunshine and happiness."
Happy Birthday Mumsy - have a good one !
Testing out scent this evening-
Parfumerie Generale's Hyperessence Matale- fab !
L'Artisan Tea for Two - kinda fab.....
Petty small minded people have no place in my life.
Happy Birthday Mumsy!
Today I wore Sharini Parfum Naturels' Graines de Paradis (for the second time) and it still reminds me of a (particular) Mediterranean foods store I used to frequent, and dries down to something described by a coworker as "foofoo flowery" but to my nose is still spicy and musky. This evening I'm testing (another of the Mystery of Musk scents, which GdP is, too, and this one is also courtesy of Mimi Gardenia) JoAnne Bassett's Sensual Embrace... something in the topnotes is conflicting, I think it's the ambrette because my nose is quite sensitive to that note, and it's overwhelming the topnotes. But I do get a fruitiness also in the top, and the musk settles back a bit. Would take a while to get used to this scent due to the topnotes, but it's good and quite distinctive.

Hey y'all -
I'm in L'Arte di Gucci for the evening.
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
Petty small minded people have no place in my life.
Chanel No. 5 Eau Premier for me on this Monday that I had to work (I'm usually off on Mondays). So I wanted something smooth and soothing... This evening I have tested a sample from a MUA swap (The Pour Un Ete) one one wrist and it's overwhelmed slightly from a decant/transfer leak of Mitsouko on one finger of the same hand.... I smell confusing.
If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
Plus Que Jamais.....good night :-)
Comme l'amour, le parfum doit captiver la femme dès le premier contact---André Fraysse
SOTE -- the newest favorite, Mahjoun by Dawn Spencer Hurwitz.
Delicious, but not foody, sweet and fresh at the same time, spicy but suitable for a girl who likes it sweet, mild, and kinda romantic
Happy Birthday, Mumsy, and want to say once again -- good to see you all again!
I'm trying the old Myrurgia mystery fragrance I bought on ebay called My de Myrurgia edt para Ella. As it turns out it smells very much like Jacomo Silences in the beginning, but it's spicier in the drydown. I find it rather masculine and not my type of thing; but it's fun to try a mystery frag. Have a good night, lovelies!
Happy Birthday Mumsy!!! I hope you are having a fragrant day, and week...
Today I wore Vent Vert. It felt really sharp. A man I work with recoiled a bit when I got closer, oops!! Maybe I have the icky version of Vent Vert.
Lessa, have lots of fun in SF!
LOL, Duckie.
When the Mitsouko wore off, "the one who knits at night" switched to a bit of Givenchy Organza Indecence.
Now I'm in Guerlain Cologne du 68 until manana.

But the members of DYVA remained active on music scene as producers and composers, having numerous hits created for other artists in last 2 decades. In 2003 Dyva meets Kimmo Salo, who convinces the band to reactivate and release the old tunes on vinyls. This is how a new chapter in DYVA story starts. From now on the band would re-record a lot of previously unreleased tracks in 80s italo disco style. The band thank Kimmo Salo's label - Flashback Records - becomes one of the most recognizable act of italo disco nowdays, releasing a couple of new twelve inches every year. This album is a collection of their recently recorded material, plus 2 previously unreleased on the first album original versions of their two tunes recorded back in the 80s.

if you have had contact by phone with them, it resets the clock back to day 1.
Try a "validation Letter" Google it for a template and more info on how they work. If the creditor can't prove that they have All the appropriate paper work on file and the right to collect the account then the credit bureau will remove it and they will have to close that account.
if you have newer accounts that are in collection then do what you can to get them paid off.
You will not get any new credit if you have anything in collection. That is a Big Red Flag to lenders that you don't pay your bills so they won't open any new accounts until those are paid off or fall off your report.
applying for credit when your report is in bad shape only hurts your score even more.
Be sure you have as few negitive things on your report before applying for any credit. It may take a while to fix, but its worth the time, Your credit follows you for the rest of your life. It will determine not only interest rates but your insurance rates and well as things like jobs and rentals. It's your credit, learn to take care of it.
Good luck

Designed for explosive speed and acceleration the Mercurial range by Nike is created for wingers and strikers such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Eden Hazard and Alexis Sanchez. Currently featuring two professional level ranges the Mercurial Superfly IV and the Mercurial Vapor X, the Mercurial collection also have the cheaper alternative ranges the Veloce, Victory and Vortex designed for junior level soccer players. The Mercurial is known for it's bright and colorful designs and styles and have adults, kids and women's sizes available as well as firm ground, soft ground, hard ground and turf options. For indoor/five-a-side and street soccer Nike have the FootballX collection available which contains the MercurialX, MagistaX and HypervenomX ranges.
The Mercurial range debuted at the 1998 World Cup with Brazil icon Ronaldo wearing the Air Mercurial boots and it has remained to today as the most popular Nike football boot range of all time. The Mercurial range has attracted the biggest names in football in it's time with the likes of Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Roberto Carlos, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo wearing the speed boot in their careers. The Vapor range debuted at the 2002 World Cup and again was headlined by Ronaldo who did wonders for the Vapor's cleat sales when he helped Brazil to win their fifth World Cup title.
The Mercurial Vapor range has been on the market for over 10 years and has had ten generations produced with the current range being the Mercurial Vapor X. Now working in sync with the Mercurial Superfly range which debuted in 2009, the Mercurial Vapor was one of the first cleat ranges to use synthetic technologies resulting in a lighter and faster soccer cleat. Before FlyKnit was introduced into the Superfly in 2014, the speed boot used FlyWire technologies which used Brio cables to lock down your foot into the cleat.

Using desalinated water to boost allocations to River Murray irrigators in South Australia would be too costly, a study has found.
The cost-benefit analysis was commissioned by the state government to consider producing more water at Adelaide's new desalination plant to boost supplies to irrigators who have started the new financial year with an allocation of just over a third of their full entitlements.
But Water Minister Ian Hunter says the results show that providing desalinated water wouldn't be economically viable and reflect the fact that the desal plant was built to provide water security to Adelaide during times of drought.
What a surprise?
Water made by machines is dearer than water falling from the sky.
There are many measures to spend money on to save the waste of water.
Water that is allowed to evaporate or flow to the sea is wasted!
A resource like water supply has to be engineered to move water around cheaply and without waste.
We will eventually see systems similar to the electrical & gas systems that allow water resources to be send where needed.
Chinese may one day give Australia economic aid to improve our agricultural output; all we have to do is bury the Greens and allows some dams to be build.

Lagos - An explosion ripped through a Catholic church during Christmas Mass near Nigeria's capital on Sunday, killing at least 25 people, officials said. A second explosion later went off near another church in the restive city of Jos, raising fears that a radical Muslim sect was to blame.There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blasts, but the explosions come amid a wave of attacks in Nigeria by Boko Haram, which has been blamed for at least 465 killings this year alone. Last year a series of Christmas Eve bombings in Jos that were claimed by the militants left at least 32 dead and 74 wounded.The first explosion on Sunday struck St Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla, a town in Niger state close to the capital, Abuja, authorities said. Rescue workers recovered at least 25 bodies from the church and officials continued to tally those wounded in various hospitals, said Slaku Luguard, a co-ordinator with Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency.Angry crowd makes situation worseHis agency already has acknowledged it didn't have enough ambulances immediately on hand to help the wounded. Luguard also said an angry crowd gathered at the blast site hampered rescue efforts as they refused to allow workers inside."We're trying to calm the situation," Luguard said. "There are some angry people around trying to cause problems."In Jos, a second explosion struck near a Mountain of Fire and Miracles Church, government spokesperson Pam Ayuba said. Ayuba said gunmen later opened fire on police guarding the area, wounding one police officer. Two other locally made explosives were found in a nearby building and disarmed, he said."The military are here on ground and have taken control over the entire place," Ayuba said.The city of Jos is located on the dividing line between Nigeria's predominantly Christian south and Muslim north. Thousands have died in communal clashes there over the last decade.The US Embassy in Nigeria's capital of Abuja had issued a warning on Friday to citizens to be "particularly vigilant" around churches, large crowds and areas where foreigners congregate.Shariah lawSeveral days of fighting in the northeast between the sect and security forces already had killed at least 61 people, authorities said.In the last year, Boko Haram has carried out increasingly bloody attacks in its campaign to implement strict Shariah law across Nigeria, a nation of more than 160 million people.Boko Haram claimed responsibility for a November 4 attack on Damaturu, Yobe state's capital, that killed more than 100 people. The group also claimed the August 24 suicide car bombing of the UN headquarters in Nigeria's capital that killed 24 people and wounded 116 others.While initially targeting enemies via hit-and-run assassinations from the back of motorbikes, violence by Boko Haram now has a new sophistication and apparent planning that includes high-profile attacks with greater casualties. Boko Haram has splintered into three factions, with one wing increasingly willing to kill as it maintains contact with terror groups in North Africa and Somalia, diplomats and security sources say.
That's all they know.......how to kill, burn down, rape, rob, extort, lye, bride, corrupt, blackmail etc....How many years before we see peace in Africa?
God plz deliver us from the evil ones.

Andrea Vogt, The Telegraph
Sunday, Oct. 25, 2015
BOLOGNA, Italy — Roman Catholic bishops have softened Vatican doctrine toward divorcees but strongly rejected gay marriage at the end of one of the most divisive synods of recent times.
By a single vote over the two-thirds majority necessary, the synod agreed to allow divorcees to take communion, from which they were banned, after consideration on a "case-by-case" basis.
The issue has been one of the most sensitive issues in recent times for the church, as Roman Catholic countries liberalize divorce laws. Many people who see themselves as unwilling victims of divorce have found themselves unable to take what they see as a full part in the life of the church.
The results are seen as a victory for Pope Francis, who has called for the church to be more merciful, as he prepares his own document on family issues.
"A faith that does not know how to root itself in the life of people remains arid and, rather than oases, creates other deserts," he said Sunday, as the synod came to a close.
The 270 Catholic bishops and leaders gathered in Rome had sat through more than 90 hours of debate over the last three weeks as they considered how to update guidelines for providing pastoral care to Catholic families.
Pope Francis had raised expectations of change in previously hard-line positions after initiating the thorny process of updating Catholic teachings two years ago. He had urged transformation of the church into more of a "field hospital for wounded souls."
The final document agreed to on Saturday night reflects the continuing deep rift that remains between conservative and progressive factions within the church hierarchy.
The language describing same-sex marriage as "not even remotely analogous" to heterosexual marriage marked a victory for the conservative camp.
Approval of "case-by-case" approach for divorced and remarried Catholics who want to take communion was hailed as a historic step forward by those in the progressive wing. The new text allows pastoral consideration of the fact that both parties in a marriage don't necessarily bear the same responsibility for the preceding divorce.
"The key word was 'discernment'," Archbishop of Vienna Christoph Schoenborn said. "Discernment depending on the situation that is before you, because every situation is different from another."
However, the conservative Voice of the Family coalition issued a statement saying that the opening to divorcees had caused "crisis of trust regarding the family between faithful lay Catholics and those in authority at the highest levels of the Church."

Prayer of Stewardship
Lord Jesus Christ, Thou art the good steward, who redeemed Adam and Eve of their failed stewardship by offering Thyself for the life of the world. Thou didst teach us in the feeding of the multitudes that whatever we give to God is returned to us multiplied. Thou didst praise those good and faithful servants in the parable of the talents who returned to the Master their gifts. So help us to learn the joy of stewardship, remembering that everything we have comes from Thee and belongs to Thee. We know, Lord, that we often live in fear of the future and insecurity. Help us to remember the lilies of the field and so to trust in Thy providence. Grant to us a cheerful and generous spirit. Enkindle in the hearts of all Thy people a zealous love for Thee. For Thou art the Good Steward, and to Thee we give thanks, praise and glory, together with Thy Father and Thine all holy good and life-giving Spirit now and ever and onto the ages of ages. Amen.

The original work was published in serial form in the Journal des Débats in 1844. Carlos Javier Villafane Mercado described the effect in Europe:
- The effect of the serials, which held vast audiences enthralled ... is unlike any experience of reading we are likely to have known ourselves, maybe something like that of a particularly gripping television series. Day after day, at breakfast or at work or on the street, people talked of little else.[17]
George Saintsbury stated: "Monte Cristo is said to have been at its first appearance, and for some time subsequently, the most popular book in Europe. Perhaps no novel within a given number of years had so many readers and penetrated into so many different countries."[18] This popularity has extended into modern times as well. The book was "translated into virtually all modern languages and has never been out of print in most of them. There have been at least twenty-nine motion pictures based on it ... as well as several television series, and many movies [have] worked the name 'Monte Cristo' into their titles."[19] The title Monte Cristo lives on in a "famous gold mine, a line of luxury Cuban cigars, a sandwich, and any number of bars and casinos—it even lurks in the name of the street-corner hustle three-card monte."[20]
Modern Russian writer and philologist Vadim Nikolayev determined The Count of Monte-Cristo as a megapolyphonic novel.[21]
The novel has been the inspiration for many other works, from Lew Wallace's Ben-Hur (1880),[22] a science fiction retelling in Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination,[23] to Stephen Fry's contemporary The Stars' Tennis Balls.[24]

On the 7 July 2016, Surrey Adult Learning held a preview event of the exhibition "The Collaboration" at the Esher Centre.
A selection of photography, creative writing and artwork produced by our Learners was on display. The evening was a great success and Surrey Adult Learning would like to thank not only Photography and Art Tutor Christina Rossmann and Creative Writing Tutor Ruth Brandt, who jointly created the concept for the event; but also the hard work of the Esher Adult Learning Centre staff and the engagement of our Learners.
The initiative for this venture happened by chance, one Monday morning when two Surrey Adult Learning Tutors met over a coffee and bounced some creative ideas around; resulting in the initiative to design a partnership workshop bringing together and show casing Surrey Adult Learning talent under one project.
The collaboration, between the writers from Woking, Esher, and Guildford Centres and the artwork and photography from Esher Centre resulted in a beautiful collection of quality photography, fascinating artwork and short pieces of creative writing, weaving together the tapestry of individual stories that were placed on display at the Esher Centre.
Each group was given a task with a week cycle starting with the photography Learners who were asked to submit a photograph to the project "Inspire a writer". The photographs would be used as the inspiration for stories set in all different places and situations around the world, which the reader could only dream about. The creative writing Learners were then handed the photograph and were tasked with writing a short piece of approximately 500 words. The stories were then relayed to the drawing and painting Learners, who did not see the original photograph. The artists read the stories and were given one week to create an illustration cover page.
Several visitors complimented the artwork, commenting them as "book covers".
One common outcome of this project across all classes was the sense of fun and enthusiasm, the sharing of ideas and boost to self confidence.
Surrey Adult Learning met with three contributors – photographer Joanna Fenning, the double runner up winner of the Surrey Adult Learning Photography Competition 2016, creative writer Clare Graham and artist Sue Lee.
The Learners were proud of their learning experience and the opportunity to explore each others' talents together, as opposed to working in isolation.

Five things we learnt: Michail can't celebrate, not all about Payet, the old Van Aanholt
European football at the Olympic Stadium?
West Ham climbed to fifth place after this lunchtime win and suddenly the prospect of European football at their new stadium looks very much on.
With both Mark Noble and sub Andy Carroll hitting the woodwork, they will claim this was a deserved three points.
But the hosts were made to look second best to relegation-threatened Sunderland for long periods in the second half with Sam Allardyce unlucky not to mark his return to Upton Park with at least a point.
Hammers fans probably had this one down as a home banker before kick-off but come May, it may yet go down as one of the big results of their season.
Back to the old Van Aanholt
The left-back has been Sunderland's most improved player in recent weeks, not just chipping in with vital goals but looking far better defensively than he did at the start of the season.
But Van Aanholt slipped back into bad old habits when he allowed Michail Antonio to nick the ball off him and then drift past him far too easily for the opening goal after half an hour.
That apart, PVA did not too badly but one moment of madness cost the visitors a vital point.

At a time when Facebook and iPad are the rage and information updates with a click, some policymakers are trying to take textbooks off the shelf and onto the Internet.
Electronic textbooks are imperative, advocates say, because they offer inexpensive, interactive lessons that engage today's tech-savvy student and keep content fresh. Opponents worry that more free-flowing material will affect quality and remain unavailable to poorer students without computers.
Texas could help lead a textbook transformation if Gov. Rick Perry's recent proposal to abandon traditional texts takes hold. He already has support in the Legislature, which passed two bills last year increasing schools' access to digital content. But the process won't happen with the click of a mouse, warn educators, who may be the faction that needs the most convincing.
"Some of the headaches that come with computers won't be any cheaper than traditional textbooks," said Gail Lowe, the state Board of Education chairwoman. "You know what a drain the maintenance of hardware is. It's difficult to ensure every district is able to supply the same [technological] support" and access.
The new state laws grant the commissioner of education the authority to select a list of electronic textbooks for districts, including open-source content - texts that can be downloaded free from the Internet. The laws also allow districts to use their textbook funds to buy electronic material and devices like netbook computers that can access it. That means the state board will have less control of the content.
Lowe, who just led a controversial restructuring of the state's social studies curriculum, is worried that less-thorough regulation will influence quality. "My main concern is academic achievement," she said, adding that the board's traditional textbook process ensures a "solid stamp of approval."
The Texas Education Agency will still apply state standards to electronic media, said John Lopez, the agency's director of instructional materials and educational technology. The commissioner is reviewing material now and will release a list of approved electronic texts in May. The board will have the opportunity to comment on the list before it becomes official.
Up-to-date content
Online content has the potential to "create ownership" for the student, Lopez said, because it's participatory, up-to-date and available 24 hours a day. And it's not limiting, because teachers have the option of printing out hard copies. The greater concern, Lopez said, is figuring out how to persuade districts to make the switch.
"We're still taking a dozen steps to a thousand-step process," he said.
The agency has budgeted more than $800 million for textbooks in 2010-11, but it's not clear how much of the money districts will use on digital materials. Many schools simply don't know the extent of what's available, Lopez said.
Dallas ISD officials say they have no plans yet to use online textbooks in their classrooms. Virginia Cotten, McKinney ISD's assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, said her district supports technological development but is in an "exploratory" position when it comes to incorporating digital materials into curriculum.
Jim Hirsch, Plano ISD's associate superintendent for academic and technology services, said that district will make its first "large foray" into electronic textbooks next year by giving secondary students online access to English language arts texts.
Irving ISD, which has provided laptops to all high school students for almost a decade, is one of the strongest advocates for online textbooks. But even the region's technological vanguard is hesitant about the transition.
One of the greatest perks to electronic textbooks is supposed to be a lower purchase price, said Alice Owen, the Irving district's director of technology. But publishers aren't providing cheaper electronic replacements.
"It's not working exactly as we thought," Owen said. Paper textbooks cost the district $425 annually per student, she said. "A big chunk of textbooks is going to paper and printing that could be savings."
Free via Internet
An alternative may be the burgeoning open-source option, which the Legislature also approved for review.
"People have gotten used to getting content given to them in a nice package - 40 minutes this, 40 minutes that," said Neeru Khosla, who runs California-based CK-12, one of the first nonprofits to provide free, customized digital content to schools via the Internet. "Students today have different learning styles. There's no reason why we have to have a fixed image in our mind."
Several states have jumped at this less-traditional content, often put together by college professors. Virginia was one of the first to approve open-source textbooks. And a California committee is now reviewing open-source material at the governor's behest.
"This is really a revolution that has been going on for a while," said Brian Bridges, the director of the California Resource Learning Network and one of the state's online text reviewers. Money saved by these free options could go toward the purchase of computers for students who need them, he said.
That still doesn't answer the question of accountability, said Jay Diskey, executive director of the Association of American Publishers' school division. "Sometimes what you get for free doesn't have the same quality."
Textbook publishers aren't naive about the power of the Internet, Diskey said. Major publishers like Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Pearson already provide interactive content that enhances texts. But the overloaded backpack isn't disappearing quite yet.
"We're moving into a different era here, but I don't foresee that the printed book is going to die one day in K-12."

HTC Executives Get a Big Pay Cut
Jason Mick

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Failures cost executives half their salaries, bonuses, and retirement pay
2012 was a horrific year for Taiwanese phonemaker HTC Corp. (
). While some its handsets achieved modest sales, such as the
5-inch Droid DNA
, HTC's smartphone market share plunged nearly 20 percent and its stock was
beaten down 40 percent
. One particular nasty blow came when Apple, Inc. (
) secured
a ban on U.S. sales of HTC handsets
in May 2012, shutting down its rival's biggest market. HTC had been the
top smartphone seller in the U.S.
for much of 2011.
As a result of these failures, HTC's executives took a big hit to the purse in 2012,
according to
The Wall Street Journal
. The newspaper is quoting HTC officials as stating that executive compensation -- including salaries, bonuses, and retirement pay -- dipped to NT$660.5M USD ($21.89M USD) in 2012, down 51.4 percent from NT$1.36B ($45.1M USD) in 2011.
Two of the hardest hit are still with HTC -- HTC CEO Peter Chou and president of engineering Fred Lui. Their compensation dropped to an even NT$100M ($3.32M USD) -- the lowest level in two years. Mr. Chou made waves early this year when it was revealed that he
vowed to resign
if the company's next flagship device did not sell well.

However, the cuts across the board may have driven out some executives. HTC is rumored to have bled a variety of executive, artistic, marketing, and engineering talent in 2012, as
employees jumped ship for more lucrative offers
After the boom years of 2010 and 2011, which featured meteoric growth, and the disappointment of 2012, 2013 seems to be off to a modest start for HTC thus far. Despite
the flop of
HTC First "Facebook Phone"
, the company has
seen strong sales
of its
HTC One
flagship device, which should help to further
stabilize the company's tepid financials
HTC is rumored to have paid Robert Downey Jr. (who plays Marvel superhero
Iron Man
) $12M USD to be the face of a new ad campaign for the phonemaker. HTC is looking to compete with the marketing pull of South Korea's Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
), who is offering 1 million copies of the new Jay-Z album to Galaxy S IV buyers.
The Wall Street Journal
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

"Ma ,you can no longer be seen, by the human eye,
But your soul and love that you gave so many, will never ever die
Sometimes I wish I could tell myself that you'll be back someday
If I could make just one wish right now, I'd wish you back to stay
I guess this is the way life goes, and God's will we must accept
But I hope you didn't feel this pain or weep the way I've wept.
Your daughters , grand children and great grand children will keep your legacy alive.
I wish you were here , today is your birthday , I will always remember it is your birthday
Happy birthday my beloved mother MA Esther Logan
"On this day September 24 2012 , you left me. Life has been never been the same.There are absolutely no words in this universe that can explain how much I missed you. You were my friend, my teacher, my mother and most importantly, my mentor. You pushed me to be the person I am today. I will always love you . Ma, you thought me to love God . Because of God's love I'm going through life without you.
Please rest in peace.
I loved you ma."
"Ma, as the second anniversary of your passing approaches this September 24th 2014, I was just thinking what it means to me .
That I'm not going to see you again, but I know you are resting in peace.
I know you are with us .
You are watching over your children.
Wish you were here to see your grandchildren and the great grandchildren, so you could spoil them.

Today marks 1year anniversary of the day We lost a piece of our heart.

Sometimes I wonder why they took you.
The optimist will say "They're in a better place.
"In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still; in my heart ma you hold a place, that no one will ever fill. I missed you ma!"
"You have been gone for almost a year, but it seems like you are still here with us. Your son, Elkinah, and your grandchildren say they miss you so much. We wish you were here to see your grandson Yanti. We really miss you. Continue to rest in peace in that heavenly home of God, our Father."

"Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. I miss you ma"
"Sis Namoi and Maconi; I just stopped by to leave you with this poem…all I can say is "be strong."
A mother is more than just a woman
A mother is more than just a wife
A mother has brought to this world a new born
A mother has brought to this world life
A mother is one with love and honor
A mother comforts you day and night
A mother; a new one every hour
A mother teaches wrong from right"
"Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. May your soul rest in perfect peace and may the angels welcome you joyfully in Heaven.

"Grandma! It still haven't hit me yet that you are gone or maybe I can't believe it that you gave gone too soon without why?

Twenty years ago, Regina was a successful executive working at a large multinational company. She quit her job when she had her second baby. Regina and her husband agreed that it was best if she stayed home to take better care of their two children. Her husband, a banker assumed the financial responsibility of raising a family.
Last year, Regina's friend encouraged her to apply for a milk tea franchise. Her friend has been running her own franchise for three years already and she was about to open a new one. Inspired by her friend's success, Regina decided to use her savings to open up her own store in the city where she currently resides.
It seemed like a perfect location for a milk tea store. It was located along the main road. There was a big school and several boarding houses nearby.
Things went smoothly at first. The opening of a new milk tea store in the area caught the attention of students, nearby residents and passersby. Regina was more than delighted with her sales during the first half of the year.
The entrepreneurial bug bit Regina, so to speak. When a business space near her store became available, she grabbed the opportunity to put up a new and totally different business. This time, Regina opened up a small cupcake shop.
Clients were drawn to the cute and dainty decorations of the store. The cupcakes which Elena baked herself became a hit, especially among students.
Regina later realized that managing two new stores was not an easy feat. She focused more on her cupcake shop and neglected her milk tea store. Lack of supervision, tempted one of the employees assigned at the milk tea store to steal money. Regina's failure to check the books cost her a lot of money. Business problems suddenly came pouring in. It reached the point where Regina had to let go of her milk tea shop. Devastated by the turn of events, she attributed her failure to her impulsive actions, lack of experience and poor financial decisions.
Regina is forced to take a loan to cover for her losses and sustain her remaining business. She knew that it might take at least two years before she can get her return on investment.
The collapse of her first business crumpled Regina's entrepreneurial spirit. She is afraid that she will not be able to manage her cupcake store well and end up losing again. How does someone like Regina bounce back after failing in business?
Here are some tips to help you recover from business failure.
1. Recognize your loss. – The first thing to do is to acknowledge what happened. It's not easy to accept that the money and effort you invested in your business didn't pay off as expected. The disappointment of failing can shatter your vision. The fear of losing again can discourage you from trying again. Wallowing in failure will only prevent you from recovering from your loss. The best way to help yourself is to face reality and move on.
2. Own up to your failure. – When we fail at something, it's easier to point fingers at other people and factors beyond our control such as economy, market, competitors, etc.
In business, it is important to have courage to take responsibility for your both your triumphs and failures.
See yourself as the person in control and not someone who is at the mercy of external factors that you cannot control. As an entrepreneur, learn to accept responsibility for your actions, whether they came out positive or negative. If it's the latter, learn to adapt to the situation and find possible solutions to challenges.
Business people who deny their responsibility put themselves at risk of committing the same mistakes in the future.
3. Analyze your mistakes. It's normal to make mistakes when running a small business. However, there are costly mistakes that may lead to loss. Instead of crying over spilled milk, the best thing to do is to analyze your business errors to find out what happened. Retrace your actions or steps to pinpoint possible mistakes that may have led to poor business decisions. Ask yourself what you could have done differently to solve the problem or deal with the situation.
4. Look at the situation from an outsider's angle. Sometimes it's difficult to maintain an objective stand when you are studying your decisions and strategies. You can enlist the help of an outsider (someone not connected in the business) to help you analyze your actions.
5. Learn from your mistakes. You may be able to determine where you probably went wrong after making a personal review of your mistakes and looking at your actions through someone else's perspective. Use all the information you gathered to your advantage. Take note of bad business decisions, wrong assumptions, and inappropriate strategies. Avoid committing those same errors by taking a different and new approach based on the situation.
6. It's time to move on. Muster the courage and try again. Don't let failure become a permanent part of your life by moving forward. If you believe that you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur, renew your commitment to business by creating a new plan. Forbes recommends getting a business mentor.
Regina wants to be a wiser business person. It has always been her dream to be a successful entrepreneur. Although she failed in her first attempt, Regina wants to make things work this time. She plans to get the advice of her close friend who owns a small bakeshop that also specializes in cupcakes. Regina also intends to join a business seminar to gain valuable knowledge in operating her business and take advantage of business networking opportunities.
A mentor is someone who has more experience in a particular line of business. This person can help you hone your skills and abilities that will benefit your business. A mentor can offer advices in dealing with challenges and problems. He/she can also give you suggestions regarding business strategies and action plans to improve efficiency, optimize sales, increase output, and so on.

East coast NSW is filled with cute little towns, great surf beaches, and excellent wine regions. Many travellers that I have met in Australia fly into Sydney and then make their way up the coast to Cairns before heading back to Sydney, and home again. Many of them though, seem to speed through east coast NSW and miss a out on a lot of it's treasures. If you have the time, I highly recommend trying to adhere to this itinerary, or even better – spend a few more days on the road and discover some even more off the beaten track places in east coast NSW.
East Coast NSW Road Trip Itinerary
Day 1: Sydney to Newcastle
The drive from Sydney to Newcastle only takes about 2.5 hours, but we found that many of the campervan rental depots are in the outer suburbs of Sydney. By the time we had gotten ourselves organized and used a combination of train and bus to get out to the spaceships campervan depot where we picked up the same spaceship we had dropped off a few days earlier. (Note: According to the Spaceships representative in Brisbane, the Sydney office is currently looking for a new space which is closer to the city centre, so hopefully soon this long commute will be no longer)
We arrived in Newcastle while it was still day time, which was a great opportunity to explore this cute little city. One interesting place to check out in Newcastle is the Lock Up – this is an old police station which has been converted into a cultural centre which now hosts resident artists.
Also, make sure to check out the Bogey hole ocean pool of Newcastle. This ocean pool was hand carved out of the rock by convicts in the 19th century. According to our local source, you can sometimes even go snorkelling there as local marine life regularly get washed into the pool and trapped inside.
For the animal lover in the car, be sure to check out BlackButt reserve. This local wildlife park is located about 10 minutes drive from central Newcastle and is home to emu's, kangaroos, wallabies, and other native Australian animals. Entry is free, but you will need to pay a small fee to use the car park.
Day 2: Newcastle to Port Macquarie via The Hunter Valley
This is a long day, but worth it. You will want to leave Newcastle early in the morning (after a coffee at one of their fantastic cafe's of course) so that you can spend as much time a possible in the Hunter Valley.
The Hunter Valley is one of Australia's most famous wine regions, and is famous for it's semillon. It's not just wine on offer in this region however, try not to miss one of the three local micro brewers and of course the Hunter Valley Smelly Cheese Shop. Because you will need some good cheese to go with your wine, and best of all, they are not stingy with their cheese samples!
The Hunter Valley is about a 2 hour drive from Newcastle, and Port Macquarie is another 4.5 hours from there, so plan your day accordingly.
Day 3: Port Macquarie to Byron Bay via Coff's Harbour
Port Macquarie is a small town with not a whole lot going on, but it does have some great beaches. This is especially great if you are into surfing. Get up early for an early morning swim or surf to get you pumped for another day or driving.
You will have two main stops between Port Macquarie and Byron Bay. The first is your lunch stop at Fredo's pies. (Well, an early lunch) We discovered Fredo's pies by accident and boy did it amaze us. I couldn't even count the number of pie flavours that they had on offer – and they even had a large selection of unusual pie fillings, such as emu and crocodile. I played it relatively safe and had the lasagna pie.
Fredo's pies is located in Frederickton, which is about an hour away from Port Macquarie.
Your second stop is also food related, and is at Coff's harbour. Coff's harbour didn't really have much to offer tourists until it came up with the ultimate tacky tourist idea – The Big Banana. The Big Banana has now turned into an amusement park of sorts, and if you are travelling with children it's a good place to stop and let them blow off some steam. Otherwise grab your obligatory picture with the big banana, grab yourself a banana milkshake or smoothie, and be on your way.
Port Macquarie is about 5.5 hour drive from Byron Bay.
Day 4: Byron Bay to Nimbin and Back To Byron Bay
Bryon Bay is a great place to relax and you may want to spend some extra days here. The town is characterized by a large "hippy" and artist population, and at many of the hostels you will have the option of sleeping in a teepee. For beer lovers, don't miss the Byron Bay Brewing company, where the beer sampling plate is shaped like a surf board.
Byron is well known as a popular surf destination, so start your morning off with a surf. Or for non surfers, hike up the the Byron lighthouse and the most easterly point in Australia.
In the afternoon you may want to take a day trip to Nimbin. Nimbin is located about a 1.5 hour drive from Byron and is the hippiest place in Australia. This is the place to get out your tie dye and chill out. Nimbin is also famous for it's high amount of weed smokers and the weed cookies that are available for sale from pretty much every other person on the street – but of course, even though everyone seems to be doing it, it is still illegal to use marijuana in Australia.
Day 5: Bryon Bay to Brisbane
Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, is only a 2 hour drive from Byron Bay. So take your time, relax, and enjoy the beach before continuing on to your final destination.

Barack Hussein Obama is currently on his annual multi-million dollar vacation to Hawaii. The president will spend 17 days there as he continues on a vacation that is paid for by the American taxpayers.
Daily Mail reported that it was revealed this week that Obama has spent a whopping $96 million in tax dollars on his own extravagant vacations since he took office. Despite the fact that millions of Americans are struggling just to put food on the table right now, Obama is sparing no expense on his final trip as president.
The Daily Caller reported that on Wednesday night, the Obama family dined at Nobu, which is one of the most expensive restaurants in Honolulu. Meals at the Japanese restaurant cost an estimated $180 per person, so we can only imagine how much of our tax dollars Obama spent there.
The Secret Service reportedly searched everyone who entered the restaurant while snipers kept watch on a nearby rooftop as the Obamas ate at a table near the back of the establishment.
Choosing to eat at a Japanese restaurant last night was a bit of an odd choice considering that Obama had spent the day visiting Pearl Harbor, the military base where over 2,400 Americans lost their lives in a Japanese attack back in 1941. Obama visited Pearl Harbor with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe despite the fact that he has refused to apologize for the attack.
SHARE this story if you can't WAIT for Obama to be out of the White House!

Foals have been announced as a UK festival exclusive for the great "Sunday in the Park" event that is Citadel.
London's brightest new festival, Citadel has carved out its own, unique place in the music calendar. Aiming to deliver the ultimate summer Sunday with a combination of live music, good quality food and drink and unforgettable experiences, for one day of the year Citadel transforms Victoria Park into a sun-drenched (the weather has been brilliant the last two years) utopia.
Marking the beginning of the countdown to 2017's edition, Citadel has announced a massive headliner and a UK festival exclusive in the form of Foals. The quintet from Oxford have, over the past few years, become one of the greatest live acts on the scene thanks to their crowd-conquering sets, which have seen them headline festivals across the world.
After forming in 2005, Foals quickly made a name for themselves as one of the hottest live bands in the UK. With debut album Antidotes incurring chaotic living room gigs, follow-up Total Life Forever saw the band exploring a heavier sound, and stadiums beckoned by the time the critically-acclaimed album Holy Fire arrived in 2013.
Their most recent body of work, 2015's What Went Down, has only served to cement the band's reputation as a force to be reckoned with. Routinely earning five star reviews and accolades for their live shows, Foals were named as Best Live Act by Q in 2013, then, simply, Best Act In The World 2015.
This headlining set will serve not only as the epic culmination to what has been a whirlwind 12 years for Foals, but as a defining musical moment of the summer.

The Cincinnati Bengals placed the franchise tag on prospective free agent defensive end Michael Johnson today in order to retain his services for at least one more season. By using the tag on Johnson at this time, the Bengals have guaranteed him a one year contract worth $11.175 million. For various reasons, that was their most prudent move to make.
That cap hit may be substantial, but the Bengals have more than enough space to commit that much money to one of their most impressive youngsters. Johnson's first full season as a starter came this past year, when he tallied 11.5 sacks, 52 tackles, one interception and two pass deflections in 16 games. For his career, Johnson has started just 20 games however and has 23 total sacks in that time. Even though that ratio is incredibly impressive, it is less so when you consider that he was at least a role player in each of the 64 games since he was drafted.
At 26 years of age and coming off of his rookie deal, Johnson is only just entering his prime. Not only did he prove his talent last season as a starting defensive end, the full year of exposure and experience on the field should also have aided his development moving forward. That talent and impressive play on the field combined to earn Johnson a huge reputation entering this year's open market. Johnson was in line to earn huge compensation on a long-term contract from one of the other teams in the league. By franchising him, the Bengals have prevented Johnson from reaching the open market and kept his price significantly lower than it would have been with the inevitable market of suitors that would have built around him.
Even though the Bengals didn't want to allow him hit the open-market, they also couldn't afford to commit huge money to him on a long-term contract. Johnson has only one full season as a starter and came out of college with work-rate concerns. His motivation for playing so well on the field this past year could simply have been financial, which could have meant he would never replicate that play again once he was guaranteed huge money. By guaranteeing him $11 million for one season, Johnson gets a big money deal while the Bengals don't have to risk their financial future.
The Bengals may still re-sign him to a long-term deal this off-season, but they have afforded themselves much needed flexibility with the franchise tag.

Unanswered: Can I remove privileges on packages that were created by currently non-existing users
we have production system on DB2 v8.2 fp9 on Windows 2003 and database is working without any problem at all. Database is configured to use Windows security which is default setting. I have checked the privileges on all SYSCAT.xxxAUTH tables and found out that there are some packages on SYSCAT.PACKAGEAUTH table that were granted by users that does not exists anymore. Database was migrated several times from one Windows computer to another and on production computer there are now some privileges set by the user that is not defined anymore on the operating system.
I executed bellow SQL to get all of the privileges that were granted by the users that are not defined on Windows anymore:
1. I would like to remove all the privileges from PUBLIC group that are not 100% necessary. For example: user1 has granted the execute privilege on package to PUBLIC group. But this user1 does not exists any more on the Windows. Are the privileges granted by now non-existing users still valid? Is it save to remove those privileges or not?
2. Executing above SQL I see there are some old packages that most probably were created on one of the pre-migrated system. What are this packages all about? I see package names start with SQLxxx so they must be a system packages. Most probably some old db2 system bind that was executed by db2 admin. Most of the packages (see attachment) have a VALID=N. According to documentation "N = Needs rebinding" IBM DB2 9.7 for Linux, UNIX and Windows Information Center So it looks like this packages are not valid anymore and are not used by anyone on the system. Is it save to remove them? If there are some function or some other dependencies I will probably get error like 'function depends on this package', so deleting function first would solve the problem. Is it save to remove such packages (VALID=N)?
3. I have found out that there are some of the packages that were execute granted with two users. Looking into syscat.pacakgeauth view it looks package has the same privileges set (the only difference is grantor). Is it save to remove duplicate grants (so leaving only single execute grant to package)?

db2 does not check the user physically - granted by
yes the grant is still valid
even grant to non-exist user is not checked
packages with schema nullid are packages created by bind of db2cli - db2ubind....
for each fp/level there are new packages
in the pakage header the v/r can be identified
if you have no clients anymore with this level - packages can be dropped - otherwise tey will get -805 and need bind again..Best Regards, Guy Przytula

Good DBAs are not formed in a week or a month. They are created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good DBAs.

# Revoke all privileges on packages for UID:
db2 "select 'REVOKE ' || strip(strip(case when CONTROLAUTH IN ('Y', 'G') then 'CONTROL, ' else '' end ||case when BINDAUTH IN ('Y', 'G') then 'BIND, ' else '' end ||case when EXECUTEAUTH IN ('Y', 'G') then 'EXECUTE, ' else '' end, trailing, ' '), trailing, ',') || ' ON PACKAGE ' || rtrim(PKGSCHEMA) ||'.' || PKGNAME || ' FROM ' ||case when granteetype = 'U' then 'USER ' else 'GROUP ' end ||rtrim(grantee) || ';' from syscat.PACKAGEAUTH where grantee IN ('DB2PROD')"
1 revoke bind & execute on package should run AFTER revoke control, or it won't work
2 for system packages you have to use:
revoke execute on specific function xxxx from xxx restrict
3 for error:
SQL0478N DROP, ALTER, TRANSFER OWNERSHIP or REVOKE on object type "PACKAGE"
cannot be processed because there is an object "TAP.SP_HELP", of type
"PROCEDURE", which depends on it. SQLSTATE=42893
you have to drop and re-create it。

@wolaos123, thanks for answering. What I am now wondering is what are packages like NULLID.SQLA2D01 (the whole package list is attached in my first post) all about? What does SQLA2D01 means? Most probably some db2cli bind file has created them many many years ago and this packages are not needed any more, but I have to be 100% sure there are not needed any more. How to find out which version/fixpack of DB2 this package belongs to?

what makes you think that they are innocent?
besides, if you had taken the time to notice al these little things, you yourself had spent time on here.
mei guan xi. just ignore it. most of the stuff written on here is fluff.
B, why do you use this website? I guess everyone has similar reasons.
It's a trap.
There are no girls lesbians on the Internet.
have u noticed her/his name? I doubt what kind of girl would call himself /herself that?
What? Are you implying that OP is some other user's fake ID, and this isn't actually a legitimate post? It couldn't be!
Orgies? Occasionally girls come on to me on this website, but they're all inevitably disapointed. If I had the skills and interest to manhandle women, I wouldn't be wasting so much time online. No orgies here.
All I really want is a hot yoga chick to bang the bejesus out of.
Well stating that you are beyond bi-curious may not exactly help or add to your reasoning. Some people, whatever their motives are, remain horny/youthful. If you don't like them ,you are an adult and class is over so why not dismiss them.
I don't read your post, but I like your name SB...
the best thing is that it works!
Wow, B thinks I must be an African Taiwanese virgin. 夠好玩兒。
B, with your attitude, it's not surprising you can't find any girls to bang you. Maybe you could request a courtesy hate-fuck from Godfather to help loosen you up.
Harmonious, I'm a lesbian...
This is an open website to everyone~ old people or pigs, young people, ugly people, beautiful people, smart people, stupid people, black people, chocolate people, yellow people and white people....
haha, yes!
hot and tanned people...ohlala....

John Mellencamp Says Rock's Glory Days Are Over
For decades, rock was the center of the American music world, but that's been changing for some time now — and John Mellencamp is one among a number of veteran rockers who doesn't see it ever coming back.
As Sound and Vision reports, Mellencamp weighed in on the subject during a recent Q&A session conducted by the Direct Connection event series, pointing out that for many listeners who've grown up over the past couple of decades, music simply doesn't hold the all-consuming power it did for the kids who made rock 'n' roll such a powerful cultural phenomenon.
"I've got two boys, 22 and 21, and I don't think they ever sat down and listened to a whole album in their whole life," said Mellencamp. "I read just the other day — I think it was Ray Davies — that rock 'n' roll is going to come back. It's not going to come back. We've seen it. It happened … it's like we had a 50-year run of a particular type of music and history will tell us that."
Pointing out that rock is just one of many styles of music to have its turn on top of the charts, Mellencamp argued that it isn't just cyclical tastes that have undermined the genre's supremacy — it's the way the industry has been hobbled by the proliferation of entertainment options for consumers.
"I'm not saying there aren't great songwriters out there. There are," he added. "But we're never going to experience them the way we able to experience them in the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s. We're not set up for that anymore."
All that being as it may, Mellencamp hasn't walked away from the record industry: his Sound and Vision talk was timed to help promote his new album, Sad Clowns and Hillbillies, which arrived in stores April 28.

Postcards sent by men on the front, and to them by their families, are among the most numerous, and most telling, surviving artifacts of World War I. They tell us much about attitudes towards the war, and provide a great insight into men's lives, and into the thoughts and emotions of those left behind. Very different in their illustration, and in their writing, between the beginning of the war and the end, the postcard provides a social history of the war in microcosm. Illustrated with a wide range of postcards, this book is a perfect introduction to the subject for the collector, and will help any family or social historian to gain a better understanding of the postcards in his possession.

If you ask a Congressman or someone who delivers the mail for a living why the United States Postal Service is hemorrhaging money, they'll likely blame our country's increasing reliance on e-mail. This rationale is both true and misleading. What e-mail has actually cost the Postal Service is the luxury to be inefficient. For years the Post Office has paid its employees too much money, opened way more facilities than necessary and generally operated incompetently because it didn't have shareholders to answer to. Now the service is actually in jeopardy of defaulting. If nothing is done, the United States Postal Service will run out of money to pay its employees within six months.
Did you know a large percentage of postal workers actually can't be laid off? The unions pushed for such clauses in collective bargaining and the Post Office actually somehow to them. Labor accounts for eighty percent of the USPS' bills as opposed to thirty-two percent of FedEx's. Postmaster General Patrick Donahue has asked Congress void the binding union agreements so he can give walking papers to two hundred and twenty thousand employees, but not surprisingly, most politicians have balked at this recommendation, as has the union.
I can see why. No one wants to layoff workers, especially if the firings involve breaking contracts already agreed to. Unfortunately, there really doesn't seem to be any alternative. Some members of Congress are pushing a plan to use nearly sixty billion dollars the service supposedly overpaid to pension funds, but even if it did shell out more than necessary, according to The New York Times there is some debate, that's still only a short-term solution. It would do nothing to address the deficit the USPS will continue to run for the foreseeable future.
The United States Postal Service requires an immediate alteration in not only its budget but also its basic policies. It needs to be run like a real business, not a taxpayer sponsored non-profit. If you want to know what that entails, look no further than the following story.
On Saturday morning, I realized Monday was a federal holiday and mail would not be delivered. My rent is due on the fifth of every month; so, rather than drop my check into the mailbox, I looked up exactly where the P.O. Box I send it to was located. I drove to that specific Post Office, waited in line, bought a stamp and asked the man behind the counter if he could please make sure it was dropped into the box later in the day. He said, "No, we don't deliver mail on the same day." Shocked, I explained my situation and told him the P.O. Box was located in the store about twenty feet from where we were standing. Again, he iterated it was company policy not to deliver mail on the same day. I volunteered to pay to have the check expedited, and he still refused. Point blank, I asked him how much money I would need to pay to make sure it got into the box, and he told me no amount of money could make that happen.
Benjamin Franklin, our nation's first Postmaster General, would roll over in his fucking grave if he heard that story. Can you ever imagine even the laziest of FedEx employees telling a customer no amount of money could prompt him to do a simple task? No, you can't because that would never happen. The grace period is over. The United States Postal Service can continue blaming e-mail all it wants, but until it fires at least one hundred thousand employees, closes hundreds of facilities and stops letting its employees behave like entitled, incompetent pricks, it's going to have trouble paying its bills.
