Caldor is the name of a defunct chain of discount department stores that operated in the northeastern United States. The chain was founded by Carl and Dorothy Bennett in 1951 in Port Chester, New York and later moved it base of operations to Norwalk, Connecticut.
In 1981, the Bennetts sold Caldor to Associated Dry Goods, which merged with May Department Stores in 1986. Caldor was eventually spun off from May in a leveraged buyout and became a publicly traded company. At one time Caldor was one of the largest retailers in the United States, and was a popular destination for shoppers. In spite of this, Caldor faced financial troubles for much of the latter portion of its existence. The company filed for bankruptcy protection in 1995 and never emerged from it, eventually resorting to liquidation four years later. The last remaining Caldor stores closed their doors on May 15, 1999.
Fifteen years after Caldor's closure, the brand name and its trademarks were purchased by a group from South Windsor, Connecticut. The group, led by Justin Calabrese, registered a website with the URL caldor.com and plans to relaunch Caldor as an e-commerce retailer.
The first store was opened by Carl and Dorothy Bennett in a tiny second-floor loft in Port Chester, NY in 1951, as a five and dime. (from May 23, 1984 New York Times Business Day) Caldor was formed from the couple's first names: Carl and Dorothy. The Bennetts also developed a private clothing label, Marc Robbins, named for their two children. By the 1980s, Caldor had stores along the East Coast from Virginia to New Hampshire. In late 1998, Caldor had 145 stores. Many Caldor stores had been part of the J.M. Fields chain.
The Bennetts sold Caldor to Associated Dry Goods Corporation (ADG) in 1981. ADG would merge with May Department Stores in 1986. May sold the chain in November 1990 in a leveraged buyout. In 1991, Caldor went public and earned over $2.5 billion in revenue that year, becoming the fourth largest retailer in the United States behind Kmart, Target, and Wal-Mart. In 1992 it changed its format, as it expanded and renovated many of their older stores. By 1994, Caldor had 166 stores in 10 states.
On Monday, April 17, 1961 at 2:10am a two-alarm structure fire was reported at the Norwalk Caldor Department Store on Route 7, just south of the Norwalk town line. Firefighters reported dodging exploding bullets coming from the sporting goods department. No emergency crews were seriously hurt battling the blaze, except for one Norwalk firefighter who was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries. The fire completely leveled the retail store and caused over $1,000,000 in damages. None of the products were salvageable. The cause of the fire was never determined.[3]
Most Caldor stores had a bookselling department, and the stores would often post the New York Times Best Seller list to inform its shoppers. The posting of the list led to a spat with the newspaper in 1993. That year, Howard Stern released his controversial autobiography Private Parts. Caldor wanted nothing to do with the book and opted not to carry it in its stores. In fact, Caldor would not even acknowledge the book's place on the list once it reached the top spot, deleting the book from the list, and moving every other book on the list up one place. The New York Times told Caldor that in order to post the list, all of the books on it had to be acknowledged. Caldor responded by not posting the list the next week.[4]
Donald E. Thornton began working as a store department manager for Caldor, Inc., a chain of retail stores, in 1975. At that time, Connecticut's blue laws required retail stores to close on Sunday, but the law was changed in 1977. As a result, Caldor required Thornton to work one Sunday out of each four. Thornton complied for several months but in 1978, he advised Caldor that he observed Sunday as his Sabbath and would no longer work on Sundays.
The case concerned the constitutionality of a Connecticut state statute, which provided that "no person who states that a particular day of the week is observed as his Sabbath may be required by his employer to work on such day. An employee's refusal to work on his Sabbath shall not constitute grounds for his dismissal."
Caldor told Thornton that they could not accommodate his unwillingness to work Sundays in his current job position. Caldor offered either to transfer him to a comparable management job at a store in Massachusetts that was closed on Sunday, or to transfer him to a non-management position in his current store at a lower salary. Although Thornton did not accept either suggestion, in 1980 Caldor transferred Thornton to a clerical position that was not assigned to work Sundays.
Thornton resigned and filed a complaint with a Connecticut state labor agency, asserting that Caldor had illegally discharged him for refusing to work on his Sabbath. Caldor responded that Thornton had not been "discharged" for purposes of the statute, and also contended that the statute was unconstitutional under the religion clauses of the United States and Connecticut Constitutions.
The agency sided with Thornton, ordering Caldor to reinstate Thornton to his prior position with back pay and benefits, and the Connecticut Superior Court affirmed the agency's determination. On appeal, however, the Connecticut Supreme Court reversed, holding that because the statute lacked a "clear secular purpose" and its "primary effect" was to confer a religious benefit, it was unconstitutional under the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
Thornton sought review by the United States Supreme Court, which granted certiorari. While the case was pending in federal court, Thornton died, and his estate was substituted as a party. At argument, Thornton's estate was represented by Nathan Lewin, and Caldor by Paul Gewirtz.
This historical case has been used by many colleges including Cornell University Law School[5] and Harvard School of Law.[6]
In 1995, Caldor filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[7] The chain found itself unable to compete with the lower prices and wider selection of such stores as Wal-Mart (which had acquired several former Caldor stores), causing a dramatic loss in sales. In addition, Caldor suffered massive weekly financial losses in damaged inventory due to accidents caused by inept forklift operator, James "Toast" Norton.[8]
Caldor also had trouble meeting its financial goals and losses mounted. Shortly before filing for bankruptcy, Caldor had $1.2 billion in assets and $883 million in liabilities, the lowest amount of assets and the highest amount of liabilities the company had since it was sold by May Department Stores in 1990. After the bankruptcy, Caldor closed 10 underperforming stores in 1996.
Caldor relied heavily on a weekly multi-color sales flyer to generate business. Flyers were distributed weekly to advertise sales that ran from Sunday through Saturday. In November 1998, the company suffered a public relations embarrassment when its sales flyer featured a prominent photograph of two grinning boys playing the board game "Scrabble" with the word RAPE spelled out in the center of the board, buried amongst nonsense words. 11 million copies of the flyer were distributed to the public via an 85-newspaper distribution chain. Caldor released a statement expressing its mystification over how the image was created and got past proofreaders.[9][10]
In January 1998, Caldor had $1.2 billion in liabilities and $949 million in assets, one of the worst deficits the company ever had. A few months later, Caldor closed 12 underperfoming stores, most in the Washington, D.C. area. This, along with the slow financial progress of the chain, caused its secured creditors to force the chain into Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which would have forced the liquidation of the entire chain. The creditors felt that their shareholders would benefit more from the liquidation of the company than if they allowed it to remain in business. In addition, Caldor's stock was de-listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Caldor responded by seeking mediation to resolve the dispute. However, it became clearer that Caldor's troubles could not be resolved by any means and that the demise of the chain was imminent. As 1999 began, Caldor announced that it would no longer be placing orders for or accepting shipments of new merchandise, which seemed to serve as a prelude to a liquidation announcement. That announcement came on January 22, where Caldor's chairman announced the chain had no alternative but to wind down business.[11]
Layoffs began immediately, with the staff at Caldor's corporate headquarters cut by a large margin. The liquidation sales began within several weeks of the announcement and the last Caldor store closed on Saturday, May 15, 1999. At the time the chain closed, it had 22,000 employees and 145 stores in nine East Coast states.
The chain made $2.5 billion in sales in its last full year in business.
Many Caldor stores eventually were purchased by retailers such as competitors Target and Wal-Mart. Many metro New York Caldor stores were bought by Kohl's after the company's closure as part of Kohl's entry into the New York retail market.
In 2014 there are talks into bring back the chain [12]
After Carl & Dorothy Bennett sold Caldor for an estimated $313 million (USD) to ADG during a buyout offer, Carl & Dorothy donated a good sum of their cash to Stamford Hospital. Dorothy Bennett struggled with cancer, which led to her death in 2008. During the latter parts of Dorothys' life, they formed the Carl & Dorothy Bennett Cancer Center at Stamford Hospital.
In 2013 the Bennet Cancer Center was the only Cancer Center in Connecticut to receive the 2013 outstanding achievement award.[13] In 2014 the Bennett Cancer Center received a top national award for cancer treatments.[14]
In 2014, Carl Bennett was named the biggest donor to Stamford Hospital. On September 25, 2014, Carl Bennett donated an estimated $9.1 million USD to the hospital to create new buildings.[15]
In May 2014, 24 year old South Windsor, Connecticut resident, Justin Calabrese took ownership of the brand through a trademark ownership transfer agreement. The University of Hartford graduate purchased Caldor, the business' intellectual property (IP), the Caldor.com domain name, business trademarks, and patents.
The Calabrese family will hope to modernize the Caldor brand in order to replicate its successful operations back in 1999. Justin Calabrese states that Carl Bennett was very 'successful' in his business practices and he hopes he can build off of the Bennetts' dream. The website is still under construction[16] and should open in late 2015 according to a spokesperson for the Caldor company.
It is unclear how much Justin Calabrese paid for the Caldor Company. In 2014, Calabrese was listed as one of two owners, owning approximately 95% of the company's shares himself.
Caldor was mentioned in a 2007 Family Guy episode, Boys Do Cry.

Three Year Partnership between Go Red for Women and Dona Bertarelli`s Ladycat Enables Campaign to Grow by 56%
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
GENEVA--(Business Wire)-- The three year partnership between Dona Bertarelli, her Decision 35 catamaran Ladycat (SUI10) and Go Red for Women, the international campaign of the World Heart Federation to raise public awareness of heart disease and stroke in women, ended successfully in December 2009. "Thanks to Dona Bertarelli`s support, the campaign has taken off in 47 countries, from 30 when the partnership began, increasing awareness among women of the need to look after their heart health and creating real momentum. Significant progress has also been made in raising attention among policy makers," says Helen Alderson, CEO of the World Heart Federation. "Through Dona Bertarelli and her team`s example, the messages of not smoking, eating healthily and doing regular exercise have been seen and heard in many places, both in Switzerland and abroad." Ladycat was launched in 2007 with the only all-female crew to compete in the Julius Baer Challenge, one of the most competitive single-design multihull regattas in closed waters in the world. As partners of the Go Red for Women campaign, all the team members advocated actively for healthier lifestyles for women. At the beginning of the partnership, Go Red for Women carried out baseline surveys in Australia, Colombia, Denmark, Singapore and the USA to identify what level of awareness there is that heart disease and stroke is the number one killer of women. The surveys revealed that only 10% of women knew. Follow up surveys in Australia and the USA since then have shown marked increases in knowledge, demonstrating that Go Red for Women has had a positive impact on increasing women`s awareness of heart disease and stroke. "I am delighted that the CHF 450`000 support we contributed to the campaign has impacted upon many women`s lives. We are privileged in Switzerland to have easy access to healthcare, which is not the case everywhere in the world. The World Heart Federation is carrying out important work that can improve women`s lives and health and it has been an honour to be part of that," commented Dona Bertarelli. The Go Red for Women campaign (http://www.worldheart.org/what-we-do/go-red-for-women/) aims to empower women to take better care of their heart health; advocate to policy-makers and governments to include heart disease and stroke in women on global and national health agendas; and raise awareness among medical professionals so that they focus increased attention on heart disease and stroke in women. - ends- About the World Heart Federation The World Heart Federation is a nongovernmental organization which unites its members and leads the global fight against heart disease and stroke, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries. Its membership is comprised of 202 medical societies and heart foundations from over 100 countries. www.worldheart.org World Heart Federation Charanjit Jagait Tel: +41-22-807-03-34 E-mail: email@example.com http://www.worldheart.org or Ladycat Danièle Castle Tel: +41-79-202-6667 E-mail:email@example.com http://www.ladycat.ch/site09/index.php Copyright Business Wire 2010

Don't use real marble, it's way too hard to work. Get Corian, it's synthetic stone countertop. It can be worked with woodworking tools (bandsaw, sander). Try going to a kitchen place and seeing if they have any scraps. I have a friend who works in one and thats how I got mine. I have some and have been lazy about finishing some grips. Maybe now I'll get some done to post up soon. The Colors of Corian

I think marble would be way too hard to work and unless you made them pretty thick would be very prone to cracking and breaking. You can get some man made products that look just like stone but are easier to work. Still very brittle stuff. One hard drop and it's done for. Corian is a reasonable option though. I'd suggest looking into some of the alternative man made products out there and maybe some acrylics. Dymondwood / colorwood is pretty cool stuff too and not too expensive if you can find a supplier.

My brother has a marble table top that used to belong to my grand mother. It's about 3' x 5' and 1 inch thick, but even at that thickness the bottom edges are chipped in a few places just from lifting it in and out of it's table frame over the years. So unless your going to have the grips made 1/4" thick with completely square edges it would be a total disaster when they start to chip or break in half from a rough bump.

I used to give students an exam booklet but usually they would only need a small portion of it so it was a big waste. With this template, I can just print the number of lined pages I need.

great piece
It matched my black rod iron railings perfectly and the globes matched my frosted fan globe. It took a while to fid such a great match but it was worth the wait. The only thing I would have liked was a longer chain to match the length of the wire but for most people I'm sure it's long enough.

The Law Firm Of Weiss & Lurie Investigates The Acquisition Of OptionsXpress Holdings, Inc.
Weiss & Lurie, a national class action and shareholder rights law firm with offices in New York City and Los Angeles, is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. (NasdaqGS: OXPS) arising from its proposed acquisition by Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE: SCHW).
Under the terms of the merger agreement, optionsXpress stockholders will receive 1.02 shares of Schwab stock for each share of optionsXpress. Based on Schwab's closing stock price as of March 18, 2011, the transaction values each optionsXpress share at $17.91. The acquisition is expected to close during the third quarter of 2011, subject to optionsXpress stockholder approval and regulatory approvals. Stockholders affiliated with James Gray, the Chairman of optionsXpress' Board, holding nearly 23% of the Company's stock, have entered into an agreement to vote their shares in favor of the transaction.
Weiss & Lurie is investigating whether optionsXpress' Board acted in the best interests of shareholders in approving the transaction and whether the Board properly sought to maximize shareholder value. Prior to the announcement of the deal, at least one analyst set a price target of $21 for optionsXpress stock.
If you own optionsXpress shares and would like more information about your rights as a shareholder or additional information concerning our investigation, please contact Julia J. Sun either by email at email@example.com or by telephone at (888) 593-4771.
Weiss & Lurie has litigated hundreds of stockholder class and derivative actions for violations of corporate and fiduciary duties. We have recovered over a billion dollars for defrauded institutions and individuals, and obtained important corporate governance in these cases. If you have information or would like legal advice concerning possible corporate wrongdoing (such as insider trading, waste of corporate assets, accounting fraud, or issuing materially misleading press releases or SEC filings), consumer fraud (such as false advertising, defective products, or other deceptive business practices), or anti-trust violations, please email us at email@example.com or fill out the form on our website, http://www.weisslurie.com/contact/report_fraud/.

Tags are a special way to organize, search and explore photos (yours and others'). Tags are basically keywords or labels that you can attach to your photos, to make it easier to find it later, or to help you make special cross-sections of your photos. You can tag a photo of your brother and his old Fiat 500 with tags like luigi fiat cars (in this case 3 tags, but you can put as many or few as you like to your photos). If you at some point later on wish to find all the photos of cars in your collection, you can click on the tag 'cars' to get the photos with that tag. On your tags page you can see all the tags used on your photos, weighted after how often they're used.
This page is where you find your personal "tag cloud" with all the tags you have used. This makes for an easy and fun way to browse your photos.

IBM Expands Support in Updated WebSphere MQ
IBM Expands Support in Updated WebSphere MQ
Elizabeth Millard
Posted 2005-04-20
More than 150 technical improvements have been made in Version 6, including improved support for creating an ESB, and inclusion of 64-bit interfaces on AIM, HP-UX and Solaris.
IBM has taken the wraps off a new version of WebSphere MQ, highlighting a number of technical improvements and enhanced support. WebSphere is designed to integrate business applications across multiple computing platforms through the use of Web technologies. The MQ product is specifically geared toward providing a manageable, flexible foundation for an ESB (enterprise service bus). In the newest iteration, Version 6.0, more than 150 technical improvements have been made, according to IBM, including improved support for creating an ESB, and inclusion of 64-bit interfaces on AIM, HP-UX and Solaris. The updated version also includes platform support for Linux for iSeries and Linux for pSeries.
Read more
about IBM beefing up its WebSphere application server platform.
The improvements were designed, in part, to lower the cost of maintaining custom or file transfer applications that are used to swap data between applications and systems, IBM has noted. With the refresh of WebSphere MQ in Version 6.0, IBM will give IT organizations the ability to combine new and existing assets into an
SOA (service-oriented architecture)
environment. IBM has been eager to expand its reach into the SOA arena, even as many potential customers are investigating SOA and finding numerous, differing definitions in the marketplace.
"IBM is looking to its own MQ product history and install base to formulate its definition of SOA," said Yankee Group analyst Dana Gardner. "IBM recognizes that SOA is not just Web services, but also enterprise-class capabilities." What is less clear, Gardner said, is how customers will get from a mainframe environment to a more modern definition of SOA. Although IBM has addressed this somewhat in its professional services, it is an area that may have to be integrated into more strategies that include WebSphere MQ. "We have to get to the point where were not just repaving cow paths but are rearchitecting environments into true services," Gardner said. "Thats not what IBM is doing with this new MQ version, but theyre doing it elsewhere." As IBM continues to expand its SOA strategies, it could create more definition around SOA than currently exists, Gardner said. "Theyre trying to have it both ways, with professional services and a framework solution," he said. "That makes for a newer, modern SOA methodology."

When Guy (Frank Whaley), a recent… More Originally screened at Telluride as The Buddy Factor, Swimming With Sharks is an uneven but engrossing picture, and a possible warning to anyone with plans to break into the motion-picture business. When Guy (Frank Whaley), a recent film-school graduate with big ideas, takes a job as assistant to major studio executive Buddy Ackerman (Kevin Spacey), he believes his ship has finally come in; little does he know it's a slave ship, for his boss is indeed worse than a slave driver. Buddy delights in abusing his boy-toy (exemplified by the scene in which he forbids Guy to go to the bathroom as he pours water back and forth from a glass to a pitcher). Meanwhile, Guy struggles to push his idea for a script and feels he's finally made it when Buddy congratulates him on a job well done. However, much to his chagrin, his conniving boss actually takes sole credit for the project, pushing the young assistant to wit's end -- he breaks into Buddy's Beverly Hills showplace and takes him hostage, then proceeds to torture him in a number of demeaning and horrifying ways. The whole film stands as a sort of parable about the value system in Hollywood and the cost of reaching the top; it doesn't play like real life, but it's not supposed to. The real reason to watch the film, however, is Spacey's performance. He manages at once to be terrifying, hateful, and hilarious, and he makes Buddy Ackerman a character the audience won't soon forget. ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi

Consensus: Swimming With Sharks is a smart, merciless Hollywood satire that's darkly hilarious and observant, thanks to Kevin Spacey's performance as ruthless studio mogul Buddy Ackerman.
The picture's raison d'être has to be Spacey's 'loud and nasty' performance: he's the sort of actor who grabs you by the throat and beats you about the head without ever lifting his feet from the desk.
Full review…To outsiders, all this rage and gnashing of teeth may seem silly and self-absorbed.
Full review…Despite some sharp dialogue, this is a nasty, derivative film, sort of a cross between Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and Altman's The Player.
Full review…Mr. Spacey's Buddy is a caricature so dazzling that even Buddy might have to say something nice about it: cool, withering, studiously suave, and spurred by impulses that might seem peevish even in a 2-year-old child.
Full review…Sharks is a one-joke movie, and the joke wears thin less than halfway through.
...Spacey delivers one of his most memorable performances...
Full review…This excessively talky, incoherently plotted, would-be film noir is not very good.
Full review…[Huang's] plot may be overwritten and the ending may be less than satisfying, but his eye and ear are right.
Full review…It's darkly hilarious, smoothly entertaining, and almost sinfully cruel. And the finalé packs a real stinger.
Full review…

Normal life was disrupted here on Monday due to a strike by the private transport union demanding scrapping of passenger tax and withdrawal of attempt to murder cases against drivers in Jammu and Kashmir.
All public transport went off the road in Jammu and other regions in support of the All Jammu and Kashmir Transport Association's strike call.
Meanwhile, the State government plied State-owned State Road Transport Corporation buses to ferry people.
"We are demanding scrapping of passenger tax and cases registered against drivers in connection with accidents under section 307 of the Ranbir Penal Code [attempt to murder]," Vijay Kumar, spokesman of the association said here.

Tampa Bay Rays (7-7) at Baltimore Orioles (6-7), 12:35 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Tampa Bay - Jake Odorizzi (1-1, 5.73) Baltimore - Miguel Gonzalez (0-1, 9.64)
(SportsNetwork.com) - Youngster Jake Odorizzi makes his first career start against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday afternoon when the Tampa Bay Rays face them to wrap up a weather-altered two-game set at Camden Yards.
The teams had been scheduled to play three games, but the middle matchup was scrapped on Tuesday due to rain.
No makeup date has been announced.
The Orioles opened the series with a win on Monday, when Matt Wieters and J.J. Hardy each had three hits with two runs scored and an RBI. Starting pitcher Wei-Yin Chen got the starting assignment and threw 6 1/3 innings, not allowing a hit until James Loney's one-out double in fifth, and only five overall.
Evan Longoria had a two-out RBI single for the Rays in the sixth.
Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer was roughed up for seven runs and 12 hits over five innings.
Baltimore tries to make it two straight with right-hander Miguel Gonzalez.
Gonzalez was dinged for a pair of solo home runs early in a Wednesday start at Yankee Stadium, but gave up just one more run in six innings of the Orioles' 5-4 defeat of New York.
He's 0-2 against the Rays with an unsightly 4.67 earned run average, walking 11 batters in 17 1/3 innings.
Tampa Bay's Odorizzi allowed a hit and struck out three in a 3 2/3-inning relief stint against the Orioles in September 2013 - his lone career appearance against them.
He threw six innings of scoreless ball against Texas in an April 4 victory, then was gashed for seven runs in five innings in a 7-3 loss to Kansas City on Wednesday.
Tampa Bay won 11 of its final 13 games against Baltimore in 2013.

When measuring customer satisfaction, make sure you're not ignoring your customers' feelings.
While you're busy measuring click-throughs, page views, and revenues, did you remember to measure attitudes as well?
The hard numbers around getting attention, optimizing landing pages, and improving conversion provide a solid handle on measuring the success of your online efforts. But the softer numbers about customer satisfaction are fundamental to your survival. The hard numbers can tell you what happened, but not why and not whether what happened was good or bad.
Brand managers will tell you that the more time somebody spends on your website, the better. It represents engagement (whatever that is). But if I spend 20 minutes on your site looking for your phone number, that's not a positive experience. So you have to ask people a variety of questions to get a more complete picture of their experience.
You want to know:
These questions let you know if your advertising is in synch with your positioning and your offers. They let you know if your online efforts are making life harder for customers rather than easier. They let you know if there are any forehead-slapping problems on your website that, once fixed, can vastly improve how people do business with you.
Be cautious, however. Don't fall for the One Voice in the Wilderness Syndrome. Verbatim survey responses can be alarming. Having a human tell you straight to your face (OK, screen) that your website navigation is backwards, your product descriptions are indecipherable, and your graphics are offensive is a shock to the system. Don't fall for it. This is where statistics are your friend.
If one person is completely bent out of shape by your landing page, it's a data point. If 20 percent of the people who answer your survey are upset by your landing page, you have a real problem. That means you have a real opportunity to fix it. Don't jump into action because of one malcontent.
At the same time, make sure you take advantage of marketing optimization's most valuable tool: segmentation. If 30 percent of your audience says the text on your site is too small, the background music in your YouTube videos sounds like noise and not music, and your soup doesn't have enough salt, make sure you slice and dice the numbers to figure out who those people are. It might be that your target audience of teenagers loves your site, your videos, and your soup, and that these whiners are all over 60 years old.
You now have two pieces of profit-promoting information: your website is just fine and you need not spend a cent "improving" it, and: you were unaware that there was a new segment to cater to. If oldsters are interested in your products, it's time to target them!
So look into ForeSee Results to benchmark your customer satisfaction scores against other companies and sectors and to find out which improvements will have the biggest impact on satisfaction and therefore your bottom line.
Check out iPerceptions to get a handle on where people fall out of the shopping process and the ability to ask them for their opinion in given situations (hit the Back button 5 times, repeatedly added and deleted things from their carts, etc.). IPerceptions also offers a free 4Q tool that can show:
Take a look at OpinionLab...you've seen its spinning [+] / [-] logo, which gives your customers a chance to give you feedback when and how they wish. Instead of being asked to answer questions, this little symbol invites the disgruntled to have a word with you and the delighted to shower you with affection.
However you measure customer satisfaction, make sure you're not ignoring your customers' feelings. Do that long enough, and they'll think you don't love them.

Would it be possible to use ActiveModel to achieve this?

I'm getting a refurb Husqvarna 350 tomorrow from work (we're an authorized service center). Being a refurb and an employee purchase, I'm getting it for a song. Our service manager told me that both are good pieces, but Stihl uses a 2-ring setup on the piston, whereas Husqvarna uses a single ring. However, Husqvarna has some attributes that outweigh Stihl. I went with the bargain, and didn't care much which I was getting, knowing that they're both good units.

Dakota Montana Waiting Room 2011
It was always funny reading the Leaked OS waiting room threads. I kind of miss reading the antsy people post and the non antsy ones slapping them a wake up. It was also the first thread to close and be ghost towned when the new OS arrived. I liked it, and I can wait for this device, being a RIM customer, you must be familiar with waiting, or you'll drive yourself crazy.
but grrrrrrrrr cant veetit fir zees phewnnnn (peter sellers voice) -
Show me inline
I am inline waiting for it
Originally, I was 100% waiting for the Monaco only... I had only used touch screen BBs and I wanted a touch screen....
BUT, my Storm2 was the worst phone because of surepress glitches and low memory... so I decided to get a Bold 9650 to hold me over until the Monaco, and after having the Bold a week, running OS6, I really don't know whether to want the Bold Touch or the Monaco now! (or even the Torch2 if it comes to VZW).
I guess I"m just going to have to use both phones and see which appeals more to me, but I'm loving the Bold 9650 like crazy and the Bold Touch seems like its going to be an amazing phone, especially with the larger screen!~SaMaster14 - 03-30-11, 01:12 PM #5
Ya I can't wait for this phone. Honestly I never thought it would see the light of day, but it looks like im wrong. Hopefully this hits tmobile and i can finally ditch this Vibrant. Really miss the crack
8100, mytouch 3G, 9700, nexus one, Vibrant, unlocked 3GS, 9780 (as soon as it hits tmo!!!) - 03-30-11, 03:13 PM #6
Yes, hope the roadmap is rather accurate and we'll see it about 2 of months.

Still on the fence between this and the Monaco. I love my S2 (and was apparently one of the lucky few people who only had the bottom button glitch at the start), but a large part of that love came from SurePress. Typical haptic feedback technology just doesn't have the same appeal as either SurePress or a physical keyboard. I'll give the Monaco a try, but I've had lukewarm feelings about every pure touchscreen I've come across from the first iPhone to the Incredible. Maybe the Monaco will change my mind; though I'm still leaning towards the Bold Touch.

I'm getting kind of bored of my iPhone 4, and I love the 9000 form factor. Also as a Canadian I like to try and support Canadian companies, so I can't wait to jump back on the crackberry bandwagon.

Oh I remember those waiting room threads for new OS's and devices particularly the Bold 9000 ones.
Those were the days!
I'm down for a Dakota

My Bold is Dying!! After 2 1/2 years I am at a loss here!! I thought I would try the Android Inspire and I sent it back after 3 days (I was thinking I could sell it when the NEW bold came along). I Couldn't stand the typing on it and NO sms customization for contacts . Yes, I am a crackberry addict!! what to do, what to do????
Wake me up in December

Tried to make my 8310 last until ATT got the 9780. That never happened so I took a family member's old iPhone. And if I have to send ONE more text on a touch screen keyboard I'm gonna lose my mind!
I don't even make full use of all the apps available for the iPhone. Give me the Dakota with a solid browser and I'll be set. - 03-31-11, 12:01 AM #16
^nope the torch 2 will be at&t only. that is why you on verizon will receive the monaco, which is also exceptional.
i wouldn't say the dakota is obviously my next device but it is one of the realm of possibilities.its a foregone conclusion, that the dakota/montana will be a best seller.but this time around im going to test out many devices and not just focus on one in particular. oh,the luxury of upgrading is just too good a feeling.Last edited by chetan1285; 03-31-11 at 12:29 AM.
wonder when o2 here in germany will get the dakota, but im definitely waiting for it
the only thing which bothers me a little is that...buying the dakota, knowing QNX phones will be out in 2012, so maybe its only like 6-8months and then theres another, better bb phone out
then again, i'll probably get the dakota and then the qnx phones when they hit the market, even tho my contract is still running - 03-31-11, 12:52 PM #18
can't wait for this to come out. i'm pretty sure i'm going to go with the dakota/montana, but depending on how the monaco's touchscreen is and my ability to type on it, might go that way. either way, i'm eligible for my ne2 in august and i can upgrade anytime now for a discount. so hopefully that leaked cdma roadmap holds true
I am as well, but in the meantime I'm ordering a white 9780 to hold me over for now, and buy this retail.

I was planning on getting a Tour two years ago once it came to US Cellular. Since US Cellular is a little behind everyone else on releases, I got to read about all the troubles people were having with it so I went with another Windows Mobile (Touch Pro 2) phone.
Fast forward two years and I was really looking forward to the Style that was supposed to come to US Cellular. It got cancelled for some reason.
So now, I'm waiting to try a Bold Touch if/when it's available.
Waiting for cool stuff is hard. - 03-31-11, 05:02 PM #22
Oh, I saw my first Style "in the wild" today!!! There were a couple of kids in their little Catholic school uniforms riding the Metro. One had a purple one. I soooo want one!!!!!!!
