Sorry about the day without LED yesterday, I just needed a break. Still no baby... I'll keep ya posted! -Adam ------------------ From: Nancy Schettler Subject: Now for something completely different! Here's a question for those of you who ship merchandise. Every so often we have a package, sent by USPS, which has been scanned as having been delivered, and yet the recipient says that they did not receive it. Almost all of the time, when this happens it is to an address around New York City or Long Island, although occasionally a package just "shows up" after 30 days, and we have no idea where it has been all that time. Anybody else in LED-land having a similar problem? Any particular geographic area that it happens in? How are you handling this? (We self-insure on little packages - with values of less than $100 - and on more valuable packages we insure and/or request a signature.)

Will Bontrager -------- new post - new topic -------- From: Al Toman Subject: SEO standards > What I did say is that degrees (or other > regulated standards) are in no sense a > *guarantee* of quality... - Michael Linehan, LED 2644 - http://www.led-digest.com/content/view/2059/190/ I guess Mike's emphasis is on "guarantee". University, degrees, and such are then no longer the conversation. Taking it one step further down the skoolin'-n-learnin' pathway, anyone beyond the age of 1st grade who still believes in the word "guarantee" as it is most typically applied, most definitely failed pree-skool. Now THAT I can guarantee~! "Testimonial" is not that many degrees away from "guarantee". "Advertisement" and Shoo-Shoo Shi-bang "marketing" is part of the 6 degree phenomena, too. The director of one department of a learning institution once told me that he takes note of "C" students because they really had to work hard at learnin'. The workin' hard was the part in which he was interested. That was simply his personal methodology. Don't ask me why I threw this in here. My mind wandered ... Often University sayers cannot speak in practical or "applied" terms and/or translate University talk into Layman talk. Then, University people can't understand why the Layman comes back with the blank, blonde, dumb-founded, stupid, stare-look. The Web Standard clearly states to speak "simple" when speaking on the Internet. What part of "simple" don't these University people git!?! I'm not gonna go on Facebook and tell everyone how many degrees I have. Well, at least, not until the "ink" dries. Come on, toot your tooter in Hollywood. That's why someone set up those big white letters, "H O L L Y W O O D". Mind wondered again ... Like, who cares how many degrees I have!?! A ton of teachers may (or may not) know their subject. However, if they cannot pass that on to his/her students in 101 different ways, then, just who IS the teacher in the classroom? For me, the classroom is the Internet and it is scarey. A lotta SEO noise. A lotta "big bucks" talk, fer shure~! No certification~! Rather, "Trust Me". Another term that belongs in the 6th degree. I'm having a REAL HARD time learnin' this here SEO shtuff cause there is NO INFO on the ENTIRE W.W.W. ,relative to Web Page Optimization for Search Engines, that is presented in a manner in which I can ingest. I have to keep taking one or two NEXIUM. You know, I've bin axin', and I ain't bin' receivin' and I done did run outta the PURPLE PILL. I don't understand. I have the W3C standards concept pretty well in hand. Maybe because the W3C is chaired by a Knight!?! But this WPOSE (Web Page Optimization for Search Engines) trips me up royally. Especially Google's 61 rule! Bummer! Al Toman studio9 web design (c) Copyright 1995-2008 Orange Wheel, LLC.
