900 EFI KINDLE


As advanced in the previous post, I will relate the events that happened to me regarding the purchase of my second ebook, after the break before a Papyre, and vicissitudes incurred for service of the English company that sells Grammata and were already reflected in the entry titled "Papyre" dated December 11, 2010.

Comparisons are odious but recent events I will describe below and which have caused me no little surprise and satisfaction
take on a dimension unusual in comparison with those. Although the story in chronological order is not the best for a written text, I will adopt them for better clarity and understanding.

30-OCT-2010
had been reading in bed last night in my mail reader and dawn Papyre not work. After a month of "wrestling" with the service I give the device is lost. The details and specifics
begin to look at the market to decide the purchase, making the decision to purchase a Kindle, the Amazon brand, which only be sold by mail through the Internet. It was the first purchase I did in the AMAZON website.
14-DIC-2010
purchase from the Amazon site. I am informed that due to the number of orders, the proximity of Christmas and the great demand in the market itself can not act on my orders until January 17. The acepto y me dispongo a esperar algo más de un mes. El precio son 109 euros a los que hay que añadir los gastos de envío y las tasas de aduana, con lo que el total final queda en 148 euros. A esperar tocan. Me confirman inmediatamente la compra mediante correo electrónico y me asignan mi número de pedido.

domingo
Recibo un correo electrónico en el que me informan de que han podido mejorar sus procesos de fabricación y una vez concluido el período de navidad, están en condiciones de adelantar unos días el envío, so they shall remain the same on the 13th due to arrive to my home machine on 17 January.
17-ENE-2011
Monday
receiving apparatus, carried by the courier UPS and put it up. Had already been charged with battery and instructions almost make me start enjoying it immediately. There are manuals and instructions in Castilian.
22-ENE-2011
Saturday
HORROR, DREAD, ANGER stupor. As I prepare to read in bed, my fingers slipping through my brand-new player with such bad luck that is struck with the peak of the table and the screen is broken. Bad luck. I have not lasted even a week.
23-ENE-2011
Sunday
I could not sleep almost all night the tremendous disappointment. I get up early and decided to call as soon as a new device, my KINDLE-2. I place my order and this time they report to be processed immediately and that the book would be in my hands Wednesday, just three days later. At least this time was expected to be almost nonexistent. In the afternoon, and I confirm the issuance of the package and give me the tracking number, the company also UPS.
24-ENE-2011
Monday
not resign myself to have a broken appliance and think about the possibility of settlement. In the afternoon I work up the courage and sorrow and scared shitless by the language and the "all-our-operators-are-busy", under the phone number Amazon in the U.S.. An address in Castilian informs me that it was detected that my call is from Spain and therefore is not free if I continue on with it. In a moment an operator answered me, saying again that it has detected that my call is from Spain and if I want to be treated in Castilian or English. Unprecedented. Before reporting the reason for my call, the operator asked me my account information on Amazon and make me some questions about my data to verify in some way that I am the account holder. When I asked the reason for my call I say clearly, do not forget that we were speaking in Castilian, who dropped me the Kindle has been broken the screen and would like to see the possibility of fixing it. I said you see in my mind that I asked for another, something which I confirm, to which I answer, surprisingly, no problem, send them the damaged and as soon as tangan in the amount reimbursed to me, yes , not including shipping and taxes. I was the face frames. Do not know what to say. I asked again if he wanted to return under those conditions, and to respond affirmatively informed me that I had sent an email with a label and an invoice for a refund. I received an instant e-mail with the above label and instructions for returning the package. When I hung up the phone was literally stunned, was not able to think or say anything. As the events have occurred this week, I have no data on my phone operator, but my feeling is that the duration of the call was about ten minutes.
25-ENE-2011
Tuesday
When I come back with the package to a UPS office and scanned, I say I have no to pay anything, because the label indicates that the port was in charge of the target company. Other savings and a most pleasant surprise.
26-ENE-2011
Wednesday
As planned, at 12:48 I get the package with my KINDLE-2. Only three days ago and a few hours I've asked and I can enjoy it.
28-Jan-2011
Friday
I receive an email from AMAZON in which they informed me that my return has been received and processed and in a days, about ten, I shall pay the amount in the same visa card used for payment.

29-Jan-2011
Saturday
As I write this post, I get email from AMAZON where information processing my return, for which estimated a period of ten days. NEW SURPRISE, I will return a total of 125.46 euros, which also includes the return shipping I paid. RETURN ME also shipping. It is simply incredible.


is not a question of analyzing the differences between KINDLE PayPro and perhaps be the subject of another entry. If you just should analyze the differences between the English company and U.S. company Grammata AMAZON. But I will not go into it, leaving everyone to draw his conclusions after reading this post and the previous mentioned.

I can only repeat here, in voice as high as you can from a letter, my thanks to Amazon for its operation, its deference to return my the amount of a device that I've broken, and her exquisite attention by phone and by email at all times taking into account the difference in language and country.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, AMAZON.

If ever you are abroad or have a friend who speaks English, have him do the test call from your country to Granada, home of the company to raise Grammata your service a matter to see what happens. Maybe he was surprised, but I fear the worst. As a fact, when I called on Oct. 2 to refer the ebook damaged, do not send me any label, took several hours to send e-mail with instructions and although the size they had paid him to telephone to check they had received my package. And at all times available to my email and my mobile phone which could have confirmed receipt. Just the same, just the same.

..... WHAT? OBSOLESCENCE

.
. AMAZON
, thank you very much, I will be eternally grateful ....

In my studies a few years ago I had to learn the difference between the terms effectiveness, efficiency and effectiveness. It was a question of examination answered correctly but today I had to re-run following a fact that has happened to me and impels me to write this blog post even Wednesday, taking time to nowhere.

explanation of the terms depends on the context in which they are used. Is not the same economic issues to talk about health issues, for instance. I suggest you not go to the dictionary because the thing is not clear, at least for me that I should be contaminated by the meanings that I managed at the time for health issues. Then I will summarize blunt, in connection with the act occurred but EFFICIENCY refers to the ability of a action to produce results in the expected direction. The EFFICIENCY is the relationship between the cost and the profit and ultimately would EFFECTIVENESS relation to the degree of satisfaction on the client.

short and put a name-example to these three catchwords: AMAZON, the U.S. company sales of books, and more, much more, by mail through the Internet. And I explain this definition with actual facts that occurred today happily.

On Sunday, three days ago, at about seven o'clock KINDLE charge its flagship product, an electronic book through internet on its website www.amazon.com. I'll just say that the total cost of the basic model with wi-fi, is 148 euros including shipping and customs fees. With sadness, I leave to more seasoned readers of inquiring the price of a similar model in any store in English.

Immediately I received an email informing me that the order was being prepared and would receive it in three days. That same Sunday afternoon I received a new e-mail which informed me that my product was shipped and gave me the tracking number of parcel delivery company, UPS, that worked like a charm.

days ago we mentioned already the things that leave you stunned at this time we just have to force yourself to try to keep abreast. One of them is the possibility to trace the package sent to you at all times. With the tracking number, better known in international parlance as "tracking" I have learned where my reader mail almost instantly. So the moment is that when today, Wednesday, three days as they had said, at 12:48 have delivered the package on arrival, I received an email at 13:24 informing me of the fact and indicating the site, building reception and name of the person who had taken charge of the shipment.

The truth is that the watch list It is rather strange and I will reflect the end of this letter as evidence.

What freaks me is the automation of business processes AMAZON is able to put a device in three days in the hands of the customer taking into account the time difference and distance. You can almost think that there stock in the warehouses of AMAZON, buy anything they're going to be enjoying three days. I repeat that I think is incredible and I can not help commenting that gives me some envy not have similar services here in our beloved country. I bought something online and I must be unlucky, but after a couple of times everything has been hit and problems. And the fattest, which failed to resolve, were with PIXMANIA, there is the data.

But if this referral is surprising in relation to AMAZON, there is much more story to tell with time in the next point of this blog over the weekend. This is not the service that AMAZON has given me and this story is just a small part, something dramatic, but not more humane, also existed. The weekend will tell in another post, aseptically and in a comparative way. The next time you need to buy a pencil and a sharpener, AMAZON will look first before making a decision.

This is the monitoring data provided by UPS. Keep in mind the time difference with the U.S. that is at least six hours

Invisible Walls For Storage

AMAZON


is a good choice whenever possible. Sometimes it's not by very different reasons: personal service, parts, etc. When faced with the failure or malfunction of an apparatus of the many, increasingly, that flood our lives, the question always arises: fix? "Buy a new more modern and more likely?.

few days ago saw a television news article "Buy, pull, buy" . I have already received several e-mail attaching the link to it, is circulating on the Internet. I do not know how long it will be posted on the website of English Radio and Television. What I I downloaded to view on television and quietly approaching the hour and is very interesting, in my opinion, and the computer screen is tiring to follow. The link is this

http://www.rtve.es/mediateca/videos/20110109/comprar-tirar-comprar/983391.shtml

The bottom line is something called "scheduled or planned obsolescence "Reviewing

appliances use and daily functioning that I have in my house, the refrigerator takes the cake, with almost twenty years providing service satisfaction. It is true that you have a minor part is no longer theirs, as the door handles, as was long since discontinued the company that makes it. In fact, the last time I went to a service attempts to purchase the rubber of the freezer door, I not only reported the fact that their service is discontinued but the employee was very surprised that he was still operating without depth repair. Well it works, and well and hopefully keep doing it for years even with no internet connection to make requests to the supermarket alone. But I'm clear that the day I give the slightest problem in any fundamental issue is the time to consider and address outdated to the store to buy a new one. If you could buy the same brand and same model, as this would think that would be another twenty years of operation at least smoothly.

But as you can see in the story, things do not go there. I have no doubt that with current technology, companies could produce quasi-eternal devices, soon to establish a maintenance program that involved the review, lubrication and periodic replacement of parts that wear with use. This would also apply to cars. But I repeat that it should want. My aunts, octogenarians, are in good use and operation a Mercedes that belonged to his father and registered back in 1960. In fairness I must say that it maintains and manages a mechanic who also put a lot of wisdom and love in the matter, is an artist. This is also the obsolescence and country but tell that to the Cubans who keep their vehicles based on manufactured parts themselves.

But to get involved, what catches my attention and sharpens my senses is that of "scheduled or planned." The current global economy is based on consumption, and not just in commodities such as food or clothing, that if we see a monthly decrease their share in overall spending a house a few years ago the cornerstone of a family spending was on food and then clothes. Now things have changed and we spend more on a regular basis in telephone, automobile, vacation, information, etc. etc. A few years ago, the computer screen, brand new flat from the first that came out, and that had cost me my good euros, went off suddenly. I looked at the invoice and was just two years and two months I had it. The security was thus clinched. Calling the service I got a thousand and one hit, just like in the story said, as if the shop was in Portugal, that he ran shipping and return my account, which would cost me more "to the greyhound collar, which had dropped in price and in short, that did not interest me repair, but shoot and buy a new thing I had to do at the end. I bought another brand but it sure was at that time someone did the same with interchangeable frames.

The question is whether some companies spend time and money in the research phase of new products for manufacture of such that after a time become inoperative. Ideally, ensure that customers were comfortable with the product for a sufficient time so that at the futility of this they decided to purchase one of the same brand. In any case, and since everything is global, what matters is "buy, shoot and buy," to move the wheel and that it continues forward until it is not known limits. What is clear is that if you were to be hell breaks loose.

other hand either to be honest, is not interested in certain products that work for a long time, since the advance of technology is going to make it out of bounds by the emergence of new models with better and higher performance. See the case of mobile phones, if not changed every year we'll be out of place.

cameras I have bought in the seventies to work perfectly. The bag and test once a year. Another thing is that not in use, as digital technology has left them obsolete, but not by feeding malfunction that makes me decide not to continue with film and released. Thing of the past but what we were using until recently and in fact still can still be used.

(For those who have interest, and we talked about very similar things for months in the last entry in April entitled "Spare Parts")

Will A Flea Fogger Work On Lice

RETROACTIVITY


When confronted with a word that I choose the title for entries in this blog, I have nothing less to take a look to the dictionary to see its meaning. A Sometimes there are surprises in this case, we all know what it means retroactive and even we have suffered in their own meat, usually as a claim for a monetary payment late. The dictionary has left me face to pictures, if I had any questions now are more. Words mean in the RAE "What works or has power over what happened."

Before going on, I'll tell a little story whose resemblance to reality has to be taken as a coincidence. Years ago, in a company and a five-person department, some with over ten years old in these tasks, there was a respite in the head. Yes, I Like write head, but now all kinds of buzzwords used alternatives such as director, coordinator, charge or other trifles like that. As I said, the newly arrived head came from other levels of the company and had no idea what was done and cooked in the day to day. At first it was evident his humility when asking and treat their subordinates, but slowly the tide began to change. The strong leader if he left his humble and devoted himself to take the reins with shapes and forms that did not seem to get. One of the things he did, first thing in the morning, was to spy on what they had done earlier in the day workers, computer-consulting documents and files they had seen and / or modified. Entered in the directories, ordered by date descending, snooped and curious and, worse still, said nothing. If only someone had been directed to ask a direct or veiled, could have explained or justified the reasons for having done or accessed a file to perform a given task.

Time passed and in a few years, the five original members was a single department. And with the added proviso that not asking for a transfer to other departments but who asked to opt, were leaving the company and went to other companies to develop the same work they did on this. All lost seniority and the company was losing his knowledge and experience of so many years. But that did not matter and what was never known is whether the department was emptying an event that occurred without anyone planning or is that perhaps the new boss, motu proprio or ordered by the superior, had been commissioned to provide fresh air and getting rid of old elephants that raged showing its twisted tusk. After a few years was the leader, with new additions and one of its early employees who bore the day is long.

Time is an infallible counselor who gives and takes away reason and puts things and people in place. It is possible that after a while, one of the heads thinking in other departments of the firm to realize the mess produced, even as work and the quality is not as important today, no problem. But suppose that someone gave to analyze the issue and come to discover that the leader and his administration have been disastrous. And in this case I ask myself the question: How well fulminant remove him, someone had been in contact with the four former employees to attempt a return to the original situation?. Retroactivity.

As I said, any resemblance to reality is pure coincidence and certainly have examples of every day in the real world. Let's see if the owner of the newspaper "20 minutes, "one day this week, where it is reported that the Government has backed away in case of layoffs cheap launched earlier this year. What about the retroactive effect of this sound kickback?.

I know of several cases. One of them, very close, we found the first day after returning from their summer vacation with withering dismissal has been upheld by your company to new rules promulgated at that time. The company marched on a buoyant, according to the cool car and luxuries of their managers and the employee had more than twenty years working for this company to move from one day to another, with treachery and "Agosti" gave him a kick in save is the part with some money that was less than half of what would have been entitled.

leave the question in the air, with a grimace of a smile on my face: "This kickback government will force retroactively on employers to pay dismissed workers unpaid amounts?

not answer me, that makes me laugh.

Retroactivity, great and blessed retroactivity.

Structure Of Alloy Wheel




I have to admit that from very young I've been lucky in my relationship with the automotive world. One month short of their eighteenth birthday and get a driving license I bought my first car, a Seat 127, which profusely used to discover that travel, and travel by car, had a special attraction for me. I always liked to drive, more if travel was certainly longer and less if it was was short trips, frequent and repetitive.

Thus, and again I give thanks for my good fortune, I have always arranged car and enough money for fuel. While my work has been since that time away from my house, I tried to use public transport and leave the car parked that is the best way is, in my humble opinion, avoiding to have to catch every day.

the early eighties of last century, I began a series travel in my own car in Europe, traveling for miles on all types of roads and getting to places as diverse as northern Norway, southern Greece, Budapest or the highlands of Scotland, to give some examples. In Norway were more than fourteen thousand miles. Loaded the car with the tent and all kinds of food that will not spoil, it was a pleasure to embark on the road and visit places, landscapes and different people. And at that time there was the euro and had to be doing collection of coins of each country for which you were going on an adventure.

I was, not now and then I'll explain, from starting the car and not stop except urgent need for petrol. Big mistake. I will refer here to two experiences culled at the end refer to the "area".

The first, in 1990 was the trip to Scotland. I boarded my car, a Peugeot 309 diesel on the ferry in Santander and after a night of sailing we "downloaded" in Plymout, circling to the left, crossing all of Britain north to reach the highlands of Scotland. On motorways there were areas of service, many or all named with the English name "Granada", which was a delight to stop. It was pitiful to pass without stopping. Games for children, gardens, parking signposted bathrooms limpios donde poder incluso ducharte o afeitarte, restaurantes económicos o más caros, en fin, una serie de servicios que invitaban a detenerse y descansar un rato y aprovechar para poner combustible, ir al baño o comer. A lo largo del viaje, de más de siete mil kilómetros, paramos muchas veces en estas áreas de servicio. A la vuelta a España, y por aquello de ir unos días a la playa en verano, nos desplazamos cuatro o cinco días a Peñíscola. En la autopista del mediterráneo, paramos en un área de servicio a cenar algo. Era de noche, el aparcamiento estaba a oscuras con unos pocos fluorescentes. Multitud de carteles anunciaban que se dejara el coche cerrado y sin cosas a la vista. Por un poco de jamón york, water and a yogurt we put a "stick" that I'm still shaking. In short, all were easy to make the stop drivers.

The second example is a trip to Munich. My wife was pregnant and traveling by car more than three thousand miles was made with the condition imposed by the gynecologist to stop ten minutes every two hours and walk a little, although it was circling the car. The first day we did 1400 miles with this mantra to stop every two hours. Tardásemos perhaps more but the truth is that after the "beating" of miles we rested, like going for a walk around the city. Since then Stop every two hours and I feel much more rested I get to the destination. Tangentially say that on this trip we visited many service areas English, French, German and some Swiss and Austrian.

Last Sunday I returned by car from Saint Lary Soulan, French Pyrenees on to Madrid. The seven hundred twenty kilometers to cover suggested two stops. The first was made in the service area of \u200b\u200bthe French motorway A-64 on Hastings. A delight, picnic tables, parking signposted, manicured gardens, clean restrooms and even a beautiful exhibition about the Camino de Santiago which passes through there. Of course gas station and restaurant services as well.

The second stop on English soil and in an area past Vitoria do not know what to call the highway, toll, which goes to Burgos. The prepaid petrol at the pumps, the cafeteria without comment and the car had to leave "out there." We had sandwiches for a picnic that we had to eat standing beside the trunk of the car and keep papers and debris in a bag in the car itself because the few mills that were there were full to overflowing. At the gas station bathroom or cafeteria.

At least in this aspect of the service areas we have a long way to go, as many in our country are simply business gas station and cafe or restaurant that strictly maintain their premises and not very well in most cases that I know. I do not know if the Ministry of Development, or who should take action on the matter and establish minimum requirements and conditions sections for these areas that invite the traveler to stop that pass by. And that tolls are not particularly cheap so to speak. For reference, the seven hundred miles, tolls have led to a number of forty-two euros on the way and many others around.

Manhattan Mini 460668

AREAS REMOVED

"A withdrawal time is a win," goes the popular saying. It is less of a victory but to take when one has time to stop doing something I was doing. As you grow older, physical and mental arrangements of people are changing, which means no worse, but adapting to reality. It is clear that the physical conditions evolve with age and not necessarily for the better. It is true that experience can help a little but certainly not be able to do the same "achievements" that we were young, even though we care a lot.

All my life I've loved the sport, even beyond what could be considered an average or reasonable action. I like to say "I played all but poorly "in a clear assumption that I have not featured in any of the sports that I practiced with a certain intensity and have been varied: road cycling and mountain, basketball, athletics, tennis, soccer, futsal , skiing, distance running, racquetball ...

Today in this post I talk about my departure from the slopes. I came late to it and have not reached a good level, but enough to enjoy those long descents and pleasant snowy slopes of the mountains in a clear and clean contact with nature. Multitude of experiences and memories crammed into my mind wander a product of my different ski resorts in the Pyrenees English and French and Sierra Nevada in Granada. The jump to the Alps, where everyone speaks wonders for its size and grandeur and is deferred sine die. I write this from the ski resort of St Lary in the French Pyrenees, where it's time I retired. I came with the clothes but almost no determination, because the last time I put on skis and I said that in "this is over" and so it proved. Every morning I climb to the ski accompanying my family and friends, to help bring the many achiperres which involves skiing boots, skis, poles, gloves, hats, helmets, etc. etc. in a never-ending symphony. We must recognize that when you have everything in place and you're on top of a mountain only to enjoy the fall thinking you forget all pain. Makes me eager to get to, but I stand and I on the people to enjoy the quietness of the apartment, a walk and shopping to prepare some sandwiches and go back to the station to eat with them, after which I went down again to wait on his return in the afternoon.

But I've reached the point where I think I compensated. There is no hiding the fact that, for people who live in the center of the peninsula, skiing is an expensive sport, which is practiced almost, forgive the repetition, a week of the year barring any weekend getaway that will rarely occur. It is not a physical issue, because doing things calm head and you can go to an advanced age. It is not uncommon to see tracks in older people certainly enjoy their practice. But as I say, everything has an end and it is best to read when you should hang up the junk and focus on other experiences that may be equally enjoyable.
sports
These withdrawals are not new to me, as have occurred on previous occasions and for different reasons. Road cycling, I practiced with intensity between 24 and 30 years, I had to say goodbye when the vehicle traffic advised not to travel on the road climbed a shaky two-wheeled gadget where the chassis was you. Over time he began to become fashionable specialty mountain and I was hooked on it a few years old, being able to pedal away from the roads and vehicles that did not and still do not have any respect for cyclists but it is fair to recognize that many of them do not deserve them seen wandering the roads. Each time they are less but still always accidents, even death.

Of all the sports, which I liked and I've enjoyed has been the football. I've played everything from janitor to front and stayed in it until about forty, playing every Sunday and even in some time, Land. An injury to the meniscus, produced while skiing, was the catalyst for hanging up his boots and say goodbye, not without some regret.

I is distance running, though they're going to meet eight years since I ran my last marathon in Seville, I refuse to quit playing the sport that otherwise is as healthy, running and / or walking . I do not rule, but I see far, running marathons again, but if you maintain a physical tone that allows me a little run in a time that is good for the body and spirit. The problem is four interventions meniscus, two on each knee, occasionally say that they are there and be careful. To walk and I can not want to retire and run a little more than walking in what you propose. Step by step you get everywhere.
