When we talk about the impact of BYOD and BYOA and the Internet of Things, we often focus on the impact on data center architectures. That's because there will be an increasing need for authentication, for access control, for security, for application delivery as the number of potential endpoints (clients, devices, things) increases. That means scale in the data center.
What we gloss over, what we skip, is that before any of these "things" ever makes a request to access an application it had to execute a DNS query. Every. Single. Thing.
Maybe that's because we assume DNS can handle the load. So far it's done well. You rarely, if ever, hear of disruptions or outages due directly to the execution of DNS. Oh, there has been some issues with misconfiguration of DNS and of exploitation of DNS (hijacking, illicit use in reflection attacks, etc...) but in general there's rarely a report that a DNS service was overwhelmed by traffic and fell over.
That is exactly the problem. We've been successful with scaling DNS.
"Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive." - Andrew Grove.
In the face of rapidly expanding endpoints (things), it behooves us all to take a second look at DNS and ensure it's ready to meet the challenge.
This is not just about availability. Remember operational axiom #2 - as load increases, performance decreases. That's true for DNS, too. It doesn't get a pass. That's why it's called an axiom, after all, because it's kind of the law, like gravity.
Browsers do a good job of obfuscating the latency incurred by DNS, and native mobile applications never show such gory details, so it's difficult for a user to separate latency associated with an overloaded DNS service from a generally poorly performing application. Not that they care, actually. A slow app is a slow app to an end user. They aren't interested in the gory details, they're interested in speedy applications. Period.
Interestingly, though, the Internet of Things is made up of more than just users. Lots of devices and applications make up the myriad endpoint "overlay" network created by connections between these devices and "things".
Devices don't care about latency (unless of course they're being driven by users, then the users care, but the devices surely don't). But the thing about DNS is that the latency is generally incurred at initial connection time. There's no way to differentiate before a connection is made whether it's a device or a real, live person on the other end. Even after a connection is made, UDP isn't exactly the most verbose of protocols and it's nearly impossible to differentiate via UDP, too. You've only got a few headers, and none of them offer insight into what kind of endpoint is making the request.
The imperative, then, is to ensure really fast connections and responses to every single query.
That may mean you need to reevaluate your DNS infrastructure to ensure it's ready to handle the coming flood of "things". Test and verify the maximum queries per second (QPS) your systems can manage while maintaining what your business defines as acceptable latency. Make sure to plot out latency based on connections and queries per second to get an idea of at what point your DNS starts to become part of the performance problem.
As the Internet expands and more devices and users are accessing your applications, it would be a mistake to forget about DNS. We all know the old saying about "assuming" things - and that certainly holds true when you simply assume your DNS is able to handle the increasing load.
Be paranoid. Test often. CYA(pps).

Hey, the wheels are vintage Mavic Open 4 CDs laced to Dura Ace 7400 series hubs. The crank, chain, cassette, bottom bracket, front and rear derailleurs is also Dura Ace 7400 series and I scooped it all up including wheels for a song!! I couldn't say no.
Now now, I wouldn't do that. There was a nice natural light in that part and it was only for the picture.

Saddle height is fine, I'm just stubborn and refuse to let go of my Cinelli 1A until I get one in 100mm. I do have a nice and polished Cinelli XA in 100mm and I'm afraid it will clash with the satin finish of the Cinelli 65 Criteriums. Even with a shorter stem, the reach may still be way out there - http://forums.roadbikereview.com/ret...os-273100.html.
Stubborness - whose idea was that!?

That's what I'm saying. I'm sure the saddle height is fine. The reach relative to the saddle height is what made me think it was probably too long.
Also, the bar/lever situation on that Pinarello terrible. You can't get a flat ramp with bars like that without scooting the hoods way up and rotating the bars back until everything looks ridiculous and the drops are unusable.

I love the modern Flites. The one on the Marinoni is Team Edition without cutouts or gel and its still great. The Flite is great for people with narrow sit bones. I have this saddle on my winter bike and Kona JTS. I tried the Turbomatic 2, Concor Supercorsa and even a Brooks Swift before figuring out that my sit bones dislike wide saddles unless I'm in a more upright position.

aesthetically it looks much better! But how does it feel when you ride? those hoods looks like they would be hard to reach. Maybe it because I'm not used to a classic bar.

You must be very long-armed. Long top tube, very long stem, classic reach/drop bars.

what is wrong with my camera?
My photos are coming out with light/dark stripes at the top. It consistently shows up in all photos where there's a lot of light, doesn't show up at all when a picture was taken in shade. I don't know if it's a problem with the sensor or what... any help would be appreciated.

Re: what is wrong with my camera?
This is a phenomenon known as banding. I'm not sure what causes it but it's a serious problem. I recommend contacting Nikon. How old is your camera? Even it's no longer under warranty Nikon might do something for you.

Smells like chocolate milk and pencil shavings. Definitely a very sweet warm berry scent. I can't wear it all the time but I like it and crave it sometimes. My brother says it smells like oatmeal and the bf gets bubblegum.
...fell in love with this one right away! Sweet vanilla but not overpowering, blended with the bitter & sour blackcurrant sooo gently! synthetic smell at first, but the drydown is so powdery sweet , syroupy and it alway smakes me feel happy and relaxed! its girly and soft, a playfull uplifting fragrance for day and night, i think its a mostly fall-winter perfume as it can get too sweet for the summer . this is definitely for you, if you like vanilla and sweet subtle fruity scents! Perfect base for other fragrances too!
Poor longevity and I like BBW Black Currant Vanilla better. I won't buy again.
I tested the lotion today. It started off with the blackcurrant along with a peppery, almost masculine note, much like Bath and Body Works' Dark Kiss. Then about four hours in, a very gourmand, dessert-like form of vanilla really came through. I washed it off after about six hours, and at that time the scent was still going strong, which was a surprise as I've heard that Victoria's Secret's body care products don't last long in terms of scent. I wanted to run back and buy a bottle, but I'll hold off until the winter, as it's better suited for cooler weather.
Oh and lasting power isn't weak on me, i got 6 hours of this, but after about 1 hour the silage is very close to the skin. and it lasts forever on clothes, so if you havee a problem with lasting power try spraying on clothes!
Reminds me of Lush blackcurrant scented products. Very sweet but the black currant keeps this abit fresh, perhaps a top note of soft rose would give this perfume more depth. But all in all I like it and will enjoy popping into my purse :)
My mom knows that I am all for sweet smells, this has recently become a favorite. The only issue that I have with this spray is that it doesn't last as long as I wished it would. I feel like I have to constantly touch up in order for it to be strong all day. If anyone has any recommendations for a perfume that has a nice vanilla base that lasts, I will be more than happy to buy it on the spot! Overall I am happy with it though, it is very sweet but not to the point were I smell like straight up candy.
I Love this! To me it's more of a Fall/Winter Holiday scent. The scent reminds me of sweet sparkly fruits in champagne with a vanilla twist and a little snow on top!! I Love it!!
I have the EDT version of this in the little 1 oz. bottle that I got at the VS outlet for $4! I like it because it smells like a wine spritzer. Honestly it does. It is extremely sweet and almost syrupy though so those of you who don't like sweet scents, beware. This could probably get really cloying on a hot day so I plan to use this during the cooler weather when it won't get on my nerves. It smells like a boozy stripper in a sexy kind of way that will make your man want to eat you up like a cupcake, so I find that "Secret Craving" is an appropriate name.
A warm mix of berries and vanilla, smells very sweet and edible. It makes me think of sweet milk chocolate even though its not a note. I think this is best worn in colder weather, it has a coziness about that might be too cloying in the summer. I find this to be a soft scent, sits close to the skin.
I really wanted to like this, but it was very sour and cheap smelling, the first time I've ever not loved a VC scent!
On my skin, this reeked of chocolate milk gone bad and something synthetic... perhaps the scented markers another user mentioned? I'm glad enough people don't get the same nastiness.
This is winter sweetness...holiday cheers, bells, snow and candy...nice for a sweet sensual holiday party date..spray with a light hand..or the edt can get over sweet.. i like !
I find Secret Craving to be too fruity/sweet. I isn't straight-up fruity ~ it does have kind if a nice spiciness to it, but it just doesn't doesn't work for me.
on my skin, it´s sweet, and powdery, i like it, although isn,t one of my favs. not too fruity, little bit spicy, absolutly more mature than the other mist of vs garden collection

This smells like a mix between the drydown of the pre-reformulated Angel and Pink Sugar.
I wonder why the obvious patchouli note isn`t listed....
I clearly smell honey scented chapstick too, which is strangely nice.
And warm milk chocolate with strawberry scented erasers!
Warm and sweet fruity vanilla, but dense, deep and sexy. Not like "fresh and sparkly" fruits. Perhaps it`s even a bit "mature", some might say. Smells like it would be expensive, but it`s not.
Just got the splash & the lotion from an online store which means it was a blind buy
it reminds me of Gucci Rush !!!! the same warmness!!!
I guess its a wrong purchase in the wrong season its a hot spring-summer in my place
will give it a second chance next winter
after smelling Pure seduction..*im loss of words* oh lord!*vomits* this is heaven really , i have learned to like this. since i have a full bottle, its actually pretty good. its vanilla, and then it is something more that i wanna call warmness or heat, it just smells warm!
This smells just like those Mr. Sketch scented markers that were popular in the '80s--it smells like a cross between the black licorice scented marker and the blue berry-scented marker. It brings back so many memories. I love it. Cheap thrill!
I have this in two kinds of lotion, and I have no idea why. I'm not really a big fan of it in lotion form. I mean, it smells good, it's just that there isn't enough scent there to really make it good. It's like I can smell more plain lotion than anything else. which is crazy.
A nice daily for work or school. Soft vanilla and berries, a pretty straightforward fragrance without a lot of show that's affordable.
Nice fruity berries, not very tart like black current. You do get the vanilla but, the berries take center stage. I have the eau de toilette and I thought it would last a bit longer than the body mists, but it really doesn't last much longer than and hour and then you have to reapply. The nice thing about the eau de toilettes is that they are small 1fl oz glass bottles you can stick in your handbag for spritzing thorughout the day! Also a great deal when you buy 7 for $35 :)
This is sooooooooooooooooo sweet, its over powering if you put too much, but in my opionion i don't like wearing this, i like pure suduction much better, get that, this is nasty..
This is one of them body mists that just basically makes you smell like you just come out the shower and washed with a fruity vanilla shower gel, its pretty enough, but its not one to make you really think oh i need this, forbidden pure seduction is one to make you think thats so nice.
Secret Craving smells like a fruity (berries) version of Thierry Mugler Angel. *waits for the gasps from Angel fans to settle down* lol
It is a nice scent, I have it in body mist/spray form and it doesn't last very long, I smell patchouli in this, though it's not mentioned in the ingredients. I would imagine this would suit a sophisticated young woman or a playful mature woman.
Secret Craving is a darker sweet fragrance to me, not all sugary and light. I actually really enjoy it, but it has to be applied with a light hand because it is really easy to overdo it. It does last a pretty long time, and it is great for wear in colder months.
This is very nice! Its vanilla, powdery & fruity. It smells like the VS store. Their is nothing complicated about this scent, I can see this pleasing everyone. Its very feminine & beautiful. I don't smell the black currant though. Its nice & simple but definitely worth purchasing! =)
secret craving is a nice sweet scent which is suitable for people of all age groups, but its way too sweet for me. Highly recommended to people who love sweet scents!
My bestfriend has this and she wears it everyday. The scent really reminds me of pineapple cocktails and/or fruit salads despite the obvious absence of such notes - very fruity, sexy, sweet and radiating at the same time, which I really really love. Long-lasting too, you don't have to reapply it several times a day :)
Nice scent but the BBW black currant vanilla scent is FAR better!!
This was a blind buy online since the country I live in only has one Victoria's Secret, which is on an adjoining island an hour away by metro.
On the initial spray, I was absolutely disgusted. It spelled exactly like plastic and alcohol, and also something spicy. It was definitely not for me, I thought. Where was the blackcurrant and vanilla I had been promised?
The initial top notes were also not my favourites. It smelled a tad too fruity and tropical for my liking, since I'm a fan of gourmand scents.
After it calmed down considerably, it smelled like blackcurrants and vanila, as promised. I own Bath and Body Works's Black Raspberry Vanilla, which is very tart. This is a sharper, sweeter, but less tart and more refreshing version of that scent. That being said, though it is less tart, it is actually yummier than my B&BW, though that could be due to my current stated of hunger.
Overall, I prefer this to my B&BW, though I will need to wait for the scent to settle. Definitely a scent I will use in the future, though I'm not sure about repurchasing.
This is nice-I got little gift set that had small lotion, shower gel and body spray. This reminded me of Ralph Lauren Hot. I have both and Hot is very simular to Secret Craving except Hot is fresher smelling. If you like Brown Sugar and Fig from BBW, and Hot, you will like this. I think its a bit softer than Hot and doesn't project as well but it seem to last longer than some other VS fragrances
woooo very strong like incense almost, this is not for me, I was hoping for something sweet. Oh well I will be returning this.
very sweet powdery ... ;)
At first, it kinda smells like bubblegum to me.LOL Sweet with a little understated sexiness to it, and I have to agree, it does smell yummy too. I've recently started adding some of the VS Fantasies into my collection again because you can buy quite a few of them for a good price. When I was in my late teens-early twenties, the VS Fantasy line was all I bought because of the affordability. I use the shower gel and lotion and I get pretty good lasting power. Secret Craving, you are delish!
I don't know why, but after I spray it on my skin it just reminds me of my childhood...it's sweet, comforting, and it totally brings me back to the time when I was a little girl. Maybe it smells just like a type of candy that I used to eat? Or a shampoo that I once used? I don't know...but it smells really good.
To me, this is a delicious cool weather/evening scent. Not something I would reach for on a hot day, even though it's just a body splash/lotion. The staying power is good and I can still smell it by the end of the day.
Smells like dark/sharp fruit and dark vanilla, if that makes sense. It's yummy and definitely my new favorite scent from the vs fantasies line.

Detailed Information
Flower is 3 to 4 inches tall and about 2 inches across, made up of a 2 to 3 inch long club (the "Jack", or spadix) sitting in a tubular base with a hood (the "pulpit", or spathe). The spadix is light green to reddish green. The spathe is light green to purplish green and often dotted with white or purplish stripes. Plants are either male or female and the flowering structure looks essentially the same from the outside, with the staminate or pistillate flowers hidden on the lower part of the spadix at the bottom of the tube.
Leaves emerge after the flowers, in 1 or 2 sets of compound leaves (male and non-flowering plants have 1, female 2), each leaf with 3 leaflets. Each leaflet is up to 7 inches long and 3 inches across, generally oval with a pointed tip. The middle leaflet is generally larger than the lateral 2. The leaves can tower over the flower and hide it from view.
The vein pattern is distinct with a continuous vein around the edge of the leaf, creating a border effect. The leaf edges are a bit wavy but otherwise smooth. Stems are smooth and green to purple, or mottled green and purple.
Fruit is a cluster of green berries each about ¼ inch long that ripen to bright red in late summer.
While Jack-in-the-pulpit has both male and female plants, they can change gender from year to year, apparently in response to successful (or failed) reproduction the previous year. Males resprout from an underground corm that can last several seasons, the corm sending off shoots and producing new plants as well. Males tend to be smaller than females and have a small hole at the bottom of the spathe which allows pollinators to escape (with their pollen) more easily. Female plants lack the hole and pollinators are more likely to become trapped, better ensuring successful pollination. Sneaky devils. Jack-in-the-pulpit leaves might be confused for a species of Trillium, but Trillium leaves tend to be proportionately broader and the vein pattern lacks the border effect of Jacks.

Is it illegal to dig and replant jack in the pulpits?
on: 2009-05-19 08:08:21
It is illegal to dig up any plant on public lands without a permit. Jack-in-the-pulpit isn't an endangered species, so if it is on your own property, or on private property and you have permission from the owner, it shouldn't be a problem. When in doubt, check with the DNR.

Yes,I spotted several jack-in-the-pulpits for the first time today. It was in the woods on my next door neighbor's property where she and I dump our lawn clippings. There is rotten wood nearby. Ottertail County.
A couple of years ago my friend gave me a plant that she called a jack in the pulpit from her forest. I noticed a bloom on it today on the underside of the leaves, but it is a white blossom and is not shaped like a pulpit. It also has 3 leaves, but are more "clover-like"...grows the same and is same height. Are there different varieties of jack-in-the-pulpits? Does anyone know what the white one is? I can't find a picture of it. Guess I'll have to take one!
on: 2009-05-29 22:02:32
The white flowered plant may be a trillium. The leaves are similar to jack-in-the-pulpit and they grow in similar habitat at about the same time.
on: 2009-05-29 23:36:12
YES!! That's it. Thank you so much. I'm so enjoying in. They must be slow to propagate or don't transplant readily. I've had it for 3 years and still is only one little stem that I'm careful not to trample....but the bloom this year was a pleasant surprise. Thanks again.

Jack-in-the-pulpit in Edina, MN. We are very fortunate! Growing near one of our bird baths (in the shade) along with various hostas.

We moved into our home 4 summers ago and I've been activly removing garlic mustard weed from the woods that back up to our lot. This is the first year I've noticed several jack in the pulpit plants growing in the areas I've been clearing. Guess they were waiting for all that nasty garlic mustard weed to go away before making an appearance!

I have been in my home for 20 years and just this weekend found not one but 6 Jack in the pulpit plants. They are in the woods by the Credit River bank. They are so neat! It was a treat to find them, not sure why they showed up this season. It will be fun to watch the transformation to the berries.
on: 2010-05-18 10:18:15
Like the poster njsmommy, I was clearing out garlic mustard and saw the plant. Very neat, but I had no clue what it was until I spent some time online (evidently my biology minor is not paying off). Our 6th year in our house and first I've noticed it. Mostly shade area, a little sun, miost and dense floor. On the 'wild' side of a very short fence, I'll leave it alone and hope it will blossom into the red berries.

I recently attended 2 seminars sponsored by, and presented at, the MN Zoo. Buckthorn removal and native MN plants were the 2 subjects presented. I learned clear-cutting buckthorn is a mistake that removes native plants. I'm very happy to report carefully removing buckthorn has yielded wonderful treasure: several Jack-in-the-Pulpits! It took me a long time to find this flower's true name - and this site is where it happened. Thanks!! I hope to discover other native flowers as I continue to remove buckthorn...carefully.

I have an abundance of this plant in my yard. All my plant friends can't believe how many I have. A lot of them have tried to take some home to grow but have had little success. When the seed pod falls off I move them to other areas of my yard.

There is lots of Jack-in-the-Pulpit growing in the woods across the road from our home in South St Paul. I've also found it in Simon's Ravine Park in South St Paul, but you have to get off the main trail in order to see it.
on: 2011-09-11 18:56:40
As I was taking a walk along the gravel road,a bright-red color caught my attention! There, in the ditch near the water, I discovered 3 plants! I have never seen these along the road before {and I grew up at this place}. Took pictures and went on web to find what I thought they might be. Hope they continue to multiply.

I have alot of Jack in the pulpits in my woods. We moved on the property in 2001 and I began clearing the Buckthorn out. As I did this I found the Jacks and if they weren't in a good spot I moved them and they are thriving. Every year there are more and they seem to get larger when they aren't competing with something else.

We have two Jack in the Pulpit plants that have sprouted up spontaneously in our Lake Elmo yard this spring. We've been here over 30 years and this is a first for us. Who is planting them?
on: 2012-05-15 15:18:47
We have a Jack-in-the-pulpit near the edge of our property, where it is wet in the spring with water run off from the walking path. This year I have noticed what appear to be several small ones growing near the one large one...so maybe they are spreading. Years ago I noticed one growing among the Buckthorn.(which we are working on removing the nasty stuff).
on: 2012-05-16 09:52:24
U have some Jack in the Pulpit in both gardens (Stillwater and Rochester). Each year when I find the red berries I throw them in various other parts of my shade garden, hoping to find more the following year. I don't know how they got there, but I love them!
on: 2012-05-30 14:55:50
I've have a bed of Jack in the pulpits for about 10 years on the north side of my house. I started with 1 or 2 and now have 75 to 100 plants. Some stand 2 feet tall and the leaves are the size of a football. I take the ripe red seeds in the fall and bury them at varing depths. I don't know what the ideal depth is, but I end up with an increase in the number of plants each year.
on: 2012-07-06 14:06:52
I have many in two wooded area on our farm and would like to move them. When, how deep do I dig?
on: 2012-07-06 17:06:00
Dan, wait until the plants go dormant, then you can move them safely. You just need to dig deep enough to get the tuber, and transplant that. It shouldn't be down too deep. Collect any berries and replant them, too.
on: 2013-05-18 23:45:04
Fun to see these nestled under an oak tree today. Deep rich color.
on: 2013-06-11 11:33:48
We have these plants all over our maple-wooded area in the back 2/3 of our yard. At first we mistook them for trillium, but were corrected by a family friend. I have successfully transplanted them early in the year when "Jack is in the pulpit", you just have to be careful not to break the tuber/stems during transport as they are quite fragile, but it seems to me the key is getting the whole of the root system when digging up, then plenty of water which seems to be the key to get the plant to go to berries, and then we have just let the berries lie on the ground once they naturally drop later in the summer/early fall, and every year we get more plants in the same spot. Successful transplanting to my mother's yard in Ramsey--but we have found they definitely need to be in shady areas.
on: 2013-07-01 12:20:05
Jacks grow wild in my yard, they are almost an invasive species. I have never seen so many!
on: 2014-08-30 11:06:34
We have an abundance in our woods. We (my husband) has been working to remove the buckthorn, large and small, by hand all summer. I suspect the J-I-P was there all along, we can just see it now.
on: 2014-09-09 01:43:16
Just this week, I noticed this plant with red berries in the wooded portion of our yard. I don't know how it got there. Do birds carry the seeds?
on: 2014-10-03 11:55:52
Does anyone know if there are other plants with similar seed pods? A friend has a plant in the shady side of their yard with a similar seed cluster, but no "flower" and the leaves are somewhat different. We are trying to figure out what it is! Thanks!
on: 2014-10-03 16:29:33
Beth, if it has fruit then there must be a flower, though it may have bloomed months ago. What is different about the leaves? Why don't you take a picture and post it on the Minnesota Wildflowers Facebook page?
on: 2015-03-30 07:08:42
When I moved in to my mobile home 14 years ago, I found a Jack in the Pulpit under some Arborvitae on the north side of my shed. Haven't seen any since. Sounds like they can be pretty aggressive.

As former home owners in Cozumel, IslaMar Villas will be our new home in Cozumel. This is a wonderful substitute for our home. We lost a fountain and gained a swimming pool. We always look forward to coming to Cozumel! You 3 ladies just make it more special for us. Always here to help us out when we need it!!! Zuri is a very special persona and does such a great job. The office staff is always outstanding and very professional. Sherri, you always make us feel like family. Hate to go home!!
Pam & Art B. ~ Portland, OR
Stay (04/01/2013) - When we arrive to IslaMar, it is like being welcomed home and IslaMar has been our home for several years. Miguel is a wonderful villa host and Zuri who sees us each day is like family. Sherri and Mauricio it is wonderful seeing you in Cozumel once again! It is with sadness that it is time to leave our IslaMar Home and we look forward to our return next year!
Art & Pam B. ~ Portland, OR
Stay (12/29/2011) - Great stay here at Cozumel IslaMar! Sherri, we wish we could have met you! You were so much help through emails! Zuri & Miguel were helpful and the villas were always clean and tidy! Thank you! I think the villas are a good distance from town as we dont like too much tourist stuff. Having a nice walk home after a big meal was a relief! Anyways, we decided to get a scooter for 8 of the days and it was useful! Traveling to our favorite beaches on the east coast or to the southern ones like Playa Palancar was made easy! Great place to stay, we had a great time here. Thanks so much to everyone here!
Cathy S. & Lickel W. ~ Detroit, MI
Stay (03/02/2014) - Every year I say the same, Were home because it is our second home and a great one! Loved all the times spent with wonderful neighbors. Zuri is always such a joy to have around cleaning up after us and sharing her great smile! And very special (very special) thanks for sharing Jeju with me. See you next year, same time, same place!
Alan & Lori B. ~ Des Moines, IA
Another great holiday at IslaMar and the island! As always it is hard to leave. Thanks to Sherri, Jacqueline and all the staff at IslaMar and Palamar Beach Club. Take care and see you next year!

The Economic Loss Rule and Private OrderingJay M. FeinmanRutgers University School of Law, Camden Arizona Law Review, Vol. 48, p. 813, 2006 Abstract: My objective in this Article is to provide some perspective on the economic loss rule, the proper statement of which has figured prominently in debates about the proposed Restatement (Third) of Torts: Economic Torts and Related Wrongs. Part I describes the varieties of the economic loss rule and the Article's focus on the rule's application to third-party cases. Part II summarizes the history of liability for third-party economic loss. Part III describes the conceptual underpinnings of the rule, its application in third-party cases, and its treatment in the proposed Restatement. Part IV criticizes the private ordering claim underlying the rule, particularly in light of recent changes in contract law. Part V situates the debates about the rule in the unmaking of neoclassical law and contemporary political changes. Part VI concludes with a warning about the historical significance of the adoption of elements of the rule in the Restatement. This Article is based on a paper presented at the Dan B. Dobbs Conference on Economic Tort Law at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, March 3-4, 2006. Number of Pages in PDF File: 15 Keywords: economic loss, economic loss rule, pecuniary loss, torts, economic torts, economic negligence, contract law, contracts, negligence, misrepresentation, third-party beneficiary, drug testing JEL Classification: K12, K13 Date posted: November 20, 2006Suggested CitationContact Information

I am a third generation tailor. This shop was started by my grandfather T. N. Rao in 1921. After him, my father Jaganath Rao took over and in 1975, I joined him and have worked in this field ever since. I presently run the shop with my father's younger brother and my uncle Prabhakar.
My great-grandfather moved into this house in 1895. Back then, he used to do small stitching jobs for the British and the Indian Army in the ASC Centre nearby.
My grandfather decided to start the shop and take it up as a fulltime occupation. We used to pay Rs. 5 as rent back then. After a few years we bought the house for Rs. 500 and since then this is our shop and our home is in the back.
Generation after generation we have all practised the profession. But my children are a little hesitant to take it up. I have urged them to join me and continue this legacy but they have other aspirations. They want to study and take up other jobs. I cannot force them. We have done this work for 93 years now and are almost completing a century. Let's see what God has in store for us in the future.
I was trained by my father. It is all hereditary. He learnt it from his father who picked it up from his father. We never went out anywhere since we learnt everything at home.
Business is average. It's our own trade and we have not employed any workers here. We make enough to feed the family and take care of the children's education. I can't say it's very good but it's not bad either. I am 48 years old. I have many dreams and aspirations but there are other difficulties. There are lot of facilities in the city and with new technology around, I want to upgrade. But the new generation does not see it the same way. If my children had joined me, we could have taken this forward and advanced in leaps and bounds. They want to stand on their feet and do things with their own knowledge. Everyone is running behind education, software and computers. People don't realise this is an evergreen job. As long as people wear clothes, we will never run out of business. Of course, there are many commercial establishments, but we still have our niche clientele.
There have been a lot of changes in Bangalore. It used to be good earlier with clean air, no pollution and we didn't have any fans at home. Now the city has become crowded and a lot of buildings have come up. Earlier, we used to do everything with our hands. Now technology has come and everyone has moved on to machines. Even in my trade, technology has advanced. There is technology even to stitch a button. But, these changes have their advantages and disadvantages.
In the future, I hope to learn more and continue to work as long as I can. But I need support. Earlier, we used to stitch everything. But with less manpower, we have reduced to only doing stitching for men.
We specialise in men's clothing now. We do both civil and military work. We also do wedding clothes and suits. We try to give 99.9 per cent customer satisfaction and have a discipline that we try to maintain and do quality work. That is what brings back our old customers and fetches us new ones too.

I believe a crucial hold between the first and second bold has broken off. I returned to this route for the first time in over a year last weekend and was unable to cleanly climb it after having no trouble the last time. It is fairly obvious where the broken hold is based on the lighter colored rock. |

Hard to say without getting on it again. On the FA there were two ways to do the crux, one used smallish holds to the left of the arete (which were a little crunchy) and the other avoided them but both went at the same 11b grade - the latter had no obvious loose holds. |

Wednesday, April 1, 1998 Published at 14:42 GMT 15:42 UK World: Asia-Pacific 'Miracle' rescue of fisherman The fisherman is hoisted aboard the helicopter after a narrow escape
An epic rescue carried out on the high seas off the coast of New Zealand plucked a stranded fisherman to safety as rough weather wreaked havoc across the country.
Stormy conditions off Port Waikato made manoevering difficult for the rescue helicopter team sent to save him.
They got within metres of the fisherman when a huge wave washed him off the rocks.
The heavy weather is the result of cyclone Yali which hit New Zealand three days ago.
Trees have been ripped up by their roots, trucks blown across roads and buildings without roofs as a result of 80 mph (130 kph) high winds.
Conditions have also hit diplomatic activity with air traffic into the capital of Wellington being interrupted, forcing a private jet carrying Argentina's President Carlos Menem to divert to Auckland.

A. We accept Visa, Master Card, Discover & American Express as well as Paypal. Q. Does the price shown with the items include the personalization? A. Yes, on all items that have personalization as an option the price includes the personalization. The only other charges are sales tax if your order is being shipped to Michigan, and shipping charges (see shipping info for the cost of shipping). Q. How are the designs and personalization applied to the glass? A. All designs and personalization is done by sandblasting. So the designs and personalization will never fade or rub off. Q. How long does it take to receive my order? A. We ship completed orders in 4 business days. It takes UPS 1-5 business days to deliver your order (depending on which state it is being shipped to, see map in shipping info). So from the time of ordering to the time of delivery is 10 business days or less. Q. I'm sending the gift directly to the recipient. Will there be an invoice with pricing included with the gift? A. We do not include any invoices with the order. The only item included with the gift is an optional free gift card to tell them who the gift is from. Q. What state are you located in and what are your hours of operation so that I can call? A. We are located in Michigan and are open 8:00AM until 6:00PM Eastern Standard Time.

Do the cookie jars on your website have a plastic seal around the lid to keep baked goods fresh?A.The lids do not have a plastic seal. The lid is heavy and fits to the jar so well that a plastic seal is not necessary. They really do keep baked goods fresh. Q. Can I return items? A. Unfortunately personalized items can not be returned, do to the fact that we wouldn�t be able to resell the item. We will replace any item that is flawed or doesn�t work properly (like a clock). We only use high quality items for this reason. Q. What if I need it sooner? A. In most cases we can bump up an order so that it ships sooner.

If you need expedited shipping (Next Day, etc.) please call or email for a price, the price varies (due to the weight, size of box, and destination), so we will need to know what the items are and zip code of the ship to address. We would then be able to give you a price. Q. What if my order arrives damaged? A. We pack our items very well and rarely get damage. If you do have an item arrive damaged, please keep the item and the packing material. We will contact UPS and make a claim, so they may want to inspect it or issue a call tag to pick it up.

If you notice the mistake after you receive your order confirmation, contact us asap. If your order hasn�t been etched yet, we will be able to correct it. Q.
