Also fun fact, some plastics melt into masses of black hydrocarbon that will then spontaneously catch fire & assist a plasma fire reaction anyways! Make sure it's microwave safe first!

I've found out through a colleague that Baker & Taylor does indeed use Azure and that it's being attributed as the cause of the issues with Content Cafe.
There's also an Azure issue right now. Is any of this related? Your guess is as good as mine.
I was starting to see some response data but I'm back to a 503 error.
