I didn't visit Macy's, but at Sak's Fifth Avenue I did have a laugh. One of my fellow photographers was certainly intent on capturing the, uh, provocative window displays!
FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Soldiers and family members of the Fort Bragg community will soon have access to a new $14.7 million Behavioral Health Clinic, scheduled for completion by the end of 2012 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District and prime contractor Hensel Phelps. The 63,500-square-foot facility has a walking trail and extensive garden areas, including an on-grade healing garden for individual patient relaxation. One side of the building is constructed of transparent and frosted glass, which will provide views of the garden and existing wetlands from the patient waiting rooms. The facility will provide behavioral health and social work/family advocacy services in support of Soldiers, family members, and the Fort Bragg community.

UPDATE: Response from Linens-N-Things:
On behalf of Linens 'n Things, I apologize for any behavior you found unprofessional or miscommunication you may have experienced. However, our managers are well versed in our ads and the interpretations of them. Again, I apologize for any inconvenience. Sincerely,
Jody Mege'
I would respond to Jody that the issue isn't convenience, it's fraud. Deceptive advertising isn't inconvenient, it's immoral and illegal.
This looks like fraud: At 4:30pm February 17, 2008, in Rohnert Park, CA, the Linens-n-Things manager -- "Max" -- claimed at the cash register that the 50% off deal did not apply to my "Shower "Curtain / Liner" because the "Shower Essentials" referred to in the ad and the store signs was the BRAND "Shower Essentials," and not just any shower essential. Max accompanied me back to the shower section, and was forced to confirm that there were no "Shower Essentials" branded items in the store. Since the advertising circular pictured here promises that we could "Choose from over 100 styles," it was clear even to Max that the offer was not so limited.
Then Max changed his story, and said that the 50% discount would be available only for a "shower curtain liner" which was the exact text on the store sign, or, if you believe the advertising circular pictured here, a "Liner." My item was called, as you can see above, a "Shower Curtain / Liner".
I asked Max if he honestly meant that my "Shower Curtain / Liner" was not a "Shower Curtain Liner"? He said that's right. So I pointed to the next shelf up, which had a similar product called a "Shower Curtain or Liner" -- was that, too, excluded from the offer for "Shower Curtain Liners"? Max confirmed that the discount could not apply to that product. Both the "Shower Curtain / Liner" and the "Shower Curtain or Liner" were literally within inches of the sign offering a discount on "Shower Curtain Liners."
Max would not let me take a photograph of the signs and products in juxtaposition. In fact, he threatened to have the police escort me out of the store if I took a photograph. So I asked whether Max would sign a statement asserting his position that I was ineligible to receive the promised discount because a "Shower Curtain / Liner" is not a "Shower Curtain Liner" or a "Liner." Max refused. I asked Max if he would tell me his last name. Max refused.
Well, you can see from the store receipt pictured here that Max and Linens-N-Things got the entire $19.99 out of my wallet, and kept for themselves the $10 discount promised by the ad and the store sign. You know what's really strange? I also asked at the register whether the 20% discount was available -- it's pictured in the flyer above, just to the left of the 50% offer. It says, "SAVE 20% -- Entire Stock Metal Bath Acessries & Shower Curtains." Nope, said the cashier, that 20% discount isn't available to you -- it's only for shower curtains, and what you have is a liner.
Strange but true. So, what do we have here?
A) Worst customer service ever?
B) Worst in-store experience ever?
C) Fraud?
D) Theft?
E) Violation of California Deceptive Trade Practices Act?
F) All of the above.
It is generally illegal to make false or misleading statements of fact concerning the reasons for, existence of, or amounts of price reductions.
It looks bad for Linens-n-Things, and for Max. We have at least two counts against each. Here is what California Business and Professions Code says, and I quote:
"17508. (a) It shall be unlawful for any person doing business in California and advertising to consumers in California to make any false or misleading advertising claim..."
"17500. It is unlawful…to… disseminate…any advertising device… which is untrue or misleading, or for any person…to so make…any such statement as part of a plan or scheme with the intent not to sell that personal property…so advertised at the price stated.... Any violation of the provisions of this section is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding six months, or by a fine not exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), or by both that imprisonment and fine."
"§ 17507. It is unlawful…if any price set forth in (an advertisement) does not clearly and conspicuously identify the article of merchandise or type of service to which it relates."
Full text of the flyer pictured above:
"buy one, get one 50% off. Entire Stock Shower Essentials, reg. $2.99-69.99. Choose from over 100 styles of:
* Liners
* Rods
* Tub Mats
* Suction
* Rings
* Shower Caddies"
"Save 20% Entire Stock Metal Bath Accessorites & Shower Curtains"
making bias tubes for straps because...I might as well right? I got the fabric, I got the thread, I got the time; and I don't got elastic, so.

Description
California sea lions are known for their intelligence, playfulness, and noisy barking. Their color ranges from chocolate brown in males to a lighter, golden brown in females. Males reach 850 pounds (390 kg) and seven feet (2.1 m) in length. Females grow to 220 pounds (110 kg) and up to six feet (1.8 m) in length. They have a "dog-like" face, and at around five years of age, males develop a bony bump on top of their skull called a sagittal crest. The top of a male's head often gets lighter in color with age. These members of the otariid or walking seal family have external ear flaps and large flippers that they use to "walk" on land. The trained "seals" in zoos and aquariums are usually California sea lions.
Range/Habitat
California sea lions are found from Vancouver Island, British Columbia to the southern tip of Baja California in Mexico. They breed mainly on offshore islands, ranging from southern California's Channel Islands south to Mexico, although a few pups have been born on Año Nuevo and the Farallon Islands in central California. There is a distinct population of California sea lions at the Galapagos Islands. A third population in the Sea of Japan became extinct, probably during World War II.
Mating/Breeding
Most pups are born in June or July and weigh 13 to 20 pounds (6 to 9 kg). They nurse for at least five to six months and sometimes over a year. Mothers recognize pups on crowded rookeries through smell and vocalizations. Pups also learn to recognize the smell and vocalizations of their mothers. Breeding takes place a few weeks after birth. Males patrol territories and bark almost continuously during the breeding season.
Behavior
California sea lions are very social animals, and groups often rest closely packed together at favored haul-out sites on land or float together on the ocean's surface in "rafts." They are sometimes seen "porpoising," or jumping out of the water, presumably to speed up their swimming. Sea lions have also been seen "surfing" breaking waves. California sea lions are opportunistic eaters, feeding on squid, octopus, herring, rockfish, mackerel, and small sharks. In turn, sea lions are preyed upon by Orcas (killer whales) and great white sharks.
Status
Their population is growing steadily, and California sea lions can be seen in many coastal spots such as the Monterey Coast Guard jetty and PIER 39 in San Francisco. The current population is approximately 238,000.
At The Marine Mammal Center
California sea lions are our most common patients at The Marine Mammal Center. In 2009, we admitted over 1700 animals. Nearly 1400 of these were California sea lions. The most common reasons California sea lions are rescued include: malnutrition, domoic acid toxicosis, leptospirosis, cancer, pneumonia, entanglement in debris or fishing gear, gunshots, and other wounds. In 2009, many of the sea lions that stranded were malnourished yearlings. Animals can become severely underweight from maternal separation, disease, lack of food sources, effects of El Niño and other environmental factors. In 1998, the Center diagnosed the first case of domoic acid toxicosis in marine mammals; a condition caused by harmful algal blooms which causes the animals to have seizures. Although the Center has conducted extensive studies to better understand this disease, hundreds of sea lions are affected annually. (Source: Marine Mammal Center 2015: www.marinemammalcenter.org/)

I cannot say enough how lucky I am to have two incredibly patient and outgoing bengal cats. These two played ALL day with a VERY exuberant 4 yr old boy, and never batted an eye once to his rough antics and crazy play. They have never been around kids like that and they did SOOOO good. They played chase with him, were hit with wand toys (4 yr old boys have trouble learning you wiggle the wand on the floor, not in the cats face). Mia and Bayou never ran away, they actually enjoyed every minute of it!! (Dexter is more skittish and with his arthritis, I just kept him in a bedroom). I thought Mia would be a bit spooked by having 22 people in the house, but again, did not phase her ONE bit.
Bayou passed out at bedtime, but Mia was more like an overstimulated toddler...she was attacking feet, meowing, getting into trouble and just wouldn't go to bed. But she has been passed out all day today, so I think she finally hit her wall :)
