Deciding among sales, discounts and deals isn't always about the price.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
A steep discount doesn't mean a thing when the item or service you're paying for isn't worth that amount of money.
"Price is what you pay -- value is what you get," says Steven Cohen, president of The Negotiation Skills Company, a Massachusetts-based for-hire consultancy that helps clients negotiate for better deals. Comparing prices is an important first step, but smart shoppers should ask four more questions, he says: Why do I want this? How much do I need it? Is there a more affordable or more appropriate alternative? What kind of value will I get?
Price and value intersected for me on a recent weekend at the Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival in New York.
Do it right or pay the price.
Things like:
One of the frustrating things about money is that our goals are often years away.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
Wouldn't it be great if you could boil down into one simple goal everything you need to get your finances on the right track? Like what they call a swing-thought in golf, what one thing should we keep in the front of our minds when it comes to money?
The possible list may seem daunting. From retirement to mortgages and credit cards to insurance, our financial lives have become increasingly complicated over the last 20 years. So how can we possibly boil everything down to just one idea? Let me explain.
The company is taking a beating right now, but the recalled cars will likely regain value.
Everyone we can think of who has had a Toyota loved that vehicle. We loved ours too -- a used four-cylinder 4Runner that took us places we'd never have gone without it, including a boulder-encrusted, switch-backing, cliff-hugging strip of dirt imitating a road in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico. (Our knuckles were white.)
Years later, when we sold that rig to a DIY mechanic type, we cried as it drove away.
So, like many who've considered Toyota a more-than-dependable brand, we're amazed at its sudden fall from grace -- massive recalls for gas pedals and dangerous floor mats, and now concerns about brakes in the 2010 Prius. And we wonder, if you own one of the millions of recalled Toyotas, should you trade it in and buy a different vehicle? Clearly, other automakers are willing to deal.
Here's what the experts say:
Heinz introduces larger, easier-to-use package, plus makes health-related improvements to its products.
Now here is an innovation the world has been waiting for: a new ketchup packet that's less messy and easier to open.
Not being ketchup eaters, we didn't realize immediately how important this is. But if you think that people were happy with the old flat ketchup packets, just check Facebook for all the groups that have sprung up in support of better (and more) ketchup packets.
"The packet has long been the bane of our consumers," Dave Ciesinski, vice president of Heinz Ketchup, told The Associated Press. "The biggest complaint is there is no way to dip and eat it on the go."
Prices begin to make up some lost ground, and sellers are acknowledging the long road back to 'normal.'
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
The good news about housing is that prices aren't as awful as they were.
Prices are rising and, as of November, the latest data available, stand where they were in September 2003, as the real estate boom was taking off. The Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Index released last week reports that in four cities -- Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Diego and San Francisco -- month-to-month prices have risen over six straight months or more.
Michelle Meyer, a Barclays Capital economist, told Bloomberg, "We're seeing what looks to be a bottoming out in prices."
Great, just four more years of loss to make up and we'll be back to square one.
Consumer Reports tastes 37 ground coffee blends and isn't overwhelmed with the results.
This post comes from partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
You may have a hard time finding a standout cup of coffee.
None of the 37 caffeinated and decaffeinated ground coffee blends tested by Consumer Reports' coffee experts earned an "excellent" or "very good" rating.
However, that's not to say there aren't any "good" cups of coffee.
Trent's friend says she eschews frugality because she 'wants to have a life.'
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Recently, I had a conversation with a friend of mine about some of the things I write about here at The Simple Dollar. Even though she's struggling with some serious debt issues, she told me flatly that she didn't want to take most of the advice given on The Simple Dollar. When I asked her why, she breathed in deeply and told me the following (paraphrased):
I don't want to be a "frugal" person. I don't want to be the person who is no fun because I'm always chasing every dime and I'm always vetoing the fun things to do. I don't want to be the person who leaves out cheap toilet paper for guests. I don't want to just sit at home every night cackling as I count my pennies. I want to have a life.

Monte Farber is a nationally famous psychic astrologer and tarot reader who is known for his zany wit and empathic insights. His wife Amy Zerner's exquisite fabric paintings and fashions exude her profound intuition and deep connection with archetypal stories. They have combined their deep love for one another with a lifetime of inner exploration and self-discovery to create The Enchanted World of Amy Zerner and Monte Farber : books, card decks, and oracles that have helped many people on their spiritual paths, with over 2,000,000 books in print in 14 languages, including Karma Cards, The Enchanted Tarot, Healing Crystals, and The Psychic Circle.
When author Monte Farber met artist Amy Zerber in 1974, it was the beginning of a relationship that the pair now calls "enchanted." According to Farber, "Amy was studying astrology and tarot and I was studying Amy, so I learned astrology and the tarot! I didn't believe in them at first, but soon saw their power and they became our 'language of love.'"
In The Soulmate Path, Farber and Zerner describe the path they walk every day. It's a path any of us can travel, whether we're looking for love or seeking to improve the relationship we are in. The pair uses their own stories and experiences to guide the rest of us to find the soulmate path for ourselves. Here they tell us how they met and fell in love, how they went into business together, and how they dealt with the interpersonal stresses that occur in even the most enchanted relationships.
They also offer readers 36 lessons to remember when attracting and developing a relationship – beginning with "I ask for what I want because I deserve to get what I want" and ending with "I enjoy being alone." Finally, they share what may be the single most important secret of staying on the soulmate path – the art of laughter.
More than a book about attracting and keeping a partner, this book is about living "in the zone" in love and partnership. Well-known for their oracles, the couple makes it easy for the reader to consult the lessons in The Soulmate Path, and to answer questions following the principle that the Universe gives us what we need.

Amid lightness and laughter, these authors share a profound dedication to learning and living the Course, without one iota of compromise to its principles.
The call they heard beckoned them to discover the indestructible nature of love. They found that beneath layers of ego, fear and past conditioning was a LOVE that could never be threatened; not be anyone, or anything - not even death.

About Honduras
A child is pictured outside of the shack where he lives with his family in San Isidiro, Honduras.
Honduras is the second-largest Central American nation after Nicaragua. It borders the Caribbean Sea, between Guatemala and Nicaragua on the north, and borders the Gulf of Fonseca (North Pacific Ocean), between El Salvador and Nicaragua on its south side.
The climate is subtropical in lowlands, temperate in mountains. Honduras' main language is Spanish but there are also many Amerindian dialects. The Roman Catholic Church is the officially recognized church in Honduras, with 97 percent of the population identifying themselves as Catholic.
About Habitat for Humanity Honduras
Since its founding in 1988, Habitat for Humanity Honduras has built more than 10,000 houses, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 35,000 Hondurans in need of stable housing construct earthquake-resistant houses made with concrete floors, block walls and corrugated zinc roofs.
Habitat for Humanity's work in Honduras began in Santa Cruz de Yojoa, Cortés in the Yure River Valley in 1988. As evidence of its growth, there are now regional offices reaching more than 50 communities.
A typical Habitat Honduras house has a polished, cement floor, block walls reinforced with steel, corrugated iron roof and doors and shutter windows made of wood. Houses include a kitchen, one to three bedrooms and a bath. Families are offered two house models, one measuring 48 square meters and the other 36 square meters. The first model has been used for almost 14 years, and the second was recently introduced with great success, as it allows Habitat to reach families with even lower incomes.
Types of construction for volunteers
Volunteers will help with house improvements, finish/conclusions, repairs and additions/expansions.
Once on the work site, a technical advisor and a supervisor will guide the volunteers through the construction process. On the first day, they will explain the construction system used in Honduras and provide written construction goals each day. There will be designated resting zones with drinkable water, as well as portable bathrooms with water and soap for the volunteers to use.
Standard itinerary
(9-day itinerary)
Day 1 (Arrival day, typically Saturday): Greeted at airport by Habitat Honduras staff; transported to host program; orientation.
Day 2 (Sunday): Optional church service; additional transportation depending on project location; free day in the community.

Day 9, Final day (Sunday): Departure day.
Note: Trip includes special events throughout the week, such as cultural experiences with affiliate staff, traditional dances, agricultural and architectural tours, typical food preparation, etc. There is also a walking tour of host city and a farewell ceremony.
Hotels are simple and basic and typically located near the project site. Rooms sleep two to four people and include a private bathroom, although bathrooms are occasionally shared. All facilities are screened by HFH staff to ensure they are safe, clean and well-maintained.

Lexington Modern – Designer Furniture & Fried Chicken?
Good Questions
Q: I came across a website that sells various high-end designer furnishings. Their prices seem too good to be true, and I can't seem to find any info about the legitimacy of their offerings. A search for the address listed on their site comes up as a fried chicken place … have I just answered my own question?
Anyway, wondering if your contributors or readers have any info on Lexington Modern?
Sent by Enza
Editor: Can anyone share any info with Enza on Lexington Modern? Let us know in the comments below - thanks
• Got a question? Email yours with pic attachments here (those with pics get answered first)

Wow, that is cheap! I have no clue!!
Well, googling "lexingtonmodern.com scams" doesn't bring up any complaint pages. And googling the address does bring up a chicken place. Maybe it's an office building (IDK?)? That's a tough one. Why not call the # on the site and ask where they are located? "Hi, are you located next to [chicken place]?" But the prices seem like such a deal!
I'm not sure ... that's a multi-story space, so your sales folks could be located above the fried chicken restaurant. one thing is for sure is that this stuff is not made in America, so they probably don't need a huge warehouse space. Lexington Modern is on Ebay and they have a 100% positive rating with 176 reviews. Probably they get their stuff from the same place that every other knockoff company gets it, but the selection at Lexington Modern isn't so great. They seem to have a pretty good price on the Eames office chair, but it looks like they took a little creative license with it ... the legs look a bit odd. :-/
I have noticed a lot of modern replica companies lately. Apparently Chinese factories are churning out copies and selling them here. It is possible that they are decent fakes. If you buy use an AMX so your $ will be covered if it is a fraud.
On closer look they look like knock offs. But, knock offs aren't bad for us poor folks with rich taste!
Combination modern furniture retailer and fried chicken restaurant-- my ideal establishment.
Take a look at the materials they are using too.
LM Tulip Chair: ABS Plastic, Alumium, Cloth
DWR Tulip Chair: Molded Fiberglass (GRP), Alumium, Leather
You get what you pay for. :)
Wow, what shameless abuse of designers and their work, with bios and history used to sell trash. I think such misrepresentation is illegal, right?
"But, knock offs aren't bad for us poor folks with rich taste!"
So ethics are only for wealthy people?
At least one of their pieces is listed as a "high quality reproduction" on the website.
Many of the descriptions say reproductions. I looked at the Womb Chair and the description is somewhat shady:
"The Womb Chair and Ottoman is a classic design, and one of the most comfortable chairs to lounge in. It envelops you in such a way that you feel completely relaxed. The W Chair features a stainless steel base and is made upholstered in wool material."
Notice how it says "The W Chair". They are advertising Womb Chair but selling the W Chair.
I doubt you are going to get a high quality piece of furniture form Lexington Modern.
They are not the real thing. The site says modern classic furniture so you know it is not old. Also I looked under Eames, and it is called "eames style" chair so again, it states it is not an actual Eames chair. Like one of the other comments said, you get what you pay for. It might be a cheap way to get a designer look, but I don't know about the quality.
ABS plastic is not so different from GRP fiberglass. Both are types of plastic, it just depends on the method of manufacture, but I believe the process may be a little less expensive for ABS plastic. DWR sells several "re-interpreted" designs made out of ABS plastic, and many famous designers used it as their plastic of choice. But I think since the original tulip chairs were made from fiberglass, that is why the licensed reproductions are still made that way. I have heard that GRP fiberglass has better load capacity than ABS plastic, so hopefully you will not have any reason to put a several thousand pound load into your tulip chair!!!
this is the same inventory at inmod.com and you'll find some at overstock.com. I'm betting this just a middleman sourcing the same inventory.
"Apparently Chinese factories are churning out copies and selling them here."
Where do you think most of DWR's stuff originates? Modernica, to name one, imports the Chinese-made parts and assembles them in LA.
For the love of god, not another real Vs. knock-off post. An bepsf, questioning the poster's ethics because they are not neurotic about knock-offs...a bit much.
Oh, oh... I had to buy generic macaroni and cheese, 'cause they ran out of Kraft... I know it's not the cheesiest, but I needed it right then and there... MY ETHICS! MYYY EEETHIIIIIIICCCSSSS!!!!! lol (whatever)
Lexington Modern operates an Ebay store, and has launched an e-commerce site to better serve our customers. We are also in the works of launching a physical retail storefront, in a multi-store building, and that may be the cause of confusion with the "Fried Chicken" at that address.
We have found ABS plastic to be more resistant to chipping and scratching during the shipping process, and have therefore switched materials on certain items to ensure they arrive in great shape and withstand rigorous use.
Indeed, many of our customers are restaurants, hotels, and other commercial buyers - all of whom check our quality before buying their large orders.
We back up all of our items with a 1 year warranty, 30 day return policy, and excellent customer service (as evidenced by our 100% positive Ebay feedback).
We carefully select only top quality items for our modern classic collection, and provide top value.
Should you have any questions about any items, please feel free to give us a call at 866-505-7701.

i just ordered a pair of the saarinen tulip armchairs from lexington after doing my ebay research and having chatted on the phone with the lexington people. they seem honest, as much as any of the MANY sellers hawking the tulip chairs. i will say this, as a journalist, i went beyond usual research and joined a buying group in china where there are many factories producing "midcentury" furniture. i have received several quotes for multiple chairs. the cost per chair is as low as $60 wholesale to $70. 20 chairs shipped from china to a warehouse in new york is around $740, according to one quote. some factories have the capacity to turn out 10,000 chairs a month. i suspect but dont know for a fact that many of the sellers are linked together using many different names. in any case, the price is right if the chairs hold up, and stay looking good. and who is crazy enough to spend $1300 plus tax at DWR for the "licensed" version GMAFB! Lexington offers a 30 day return (with a restocking fee) and a one year warranty "to fix or replace." I'll post a review when i have a chance. Of 5 or 6 vendors i approached i felt the most confident with lexington. so we will see.
the chairs arrived and are pretty easy to assemble. i say "pretty easy" because the bolt at the bottom of the base was so tight on each chair-- and i didnt have the proper wrench -- that i will have to take the two bases to a garage or hardware store to get the bolts loosened so the chairs can swivel. it did take three calls to lexington to get the assembly guy to explain the problem which i had basically figured out. the chairs come with a separate chair, the swivel base, a round disk with six screw holes that sits at the top part of the bottom of the chair (where your butt sits), and a baggy with six screws and a little wrench. it's easy to put the chairs together but if the bottom bolt in the base is too tight, well off to a place where it can be loosened unless you have the proper wrench and the strength of 10 chinese workers. oh, the red cushion is thick, very well made and comfortable, fits to the chair with velcro. this would have been a breeze if i could have gotten the base bolt loose without seeking help. btw, there are no instructions on how to put the chair together but it's pretty much a no-brainer.
Just wanna share my experience with Lexington Modern to all. I found this blog and read about this posting for Lexington and thought it would be a decent place to purchase chairs from. So I ordered a chair from them on July 11, 2010. Then I found out that my order was pending for 4 days for no reason. I called Lexington and the guy gave me some execuses about it warehouse was too busy and promised the chair would be shipped next day. Ok. So I waited another day, but my order status on its website still had not changed. I felt a bit suspicious about if they really got the chair that I ordered or not. So I called again and this time the guy told me that the warehouse had some issues and my order would be shipped on next Monday. Fine. Monday came and I waited until the end if the day. Finally, I order status changed to "shipped" with a FedEx tracking number. I was excited and tried to track my shipment, but only to find out that Lexington had only print the shipping label but had never called FedEx to pickup the package from its warehouse, according to the FedEx representative. What! How could that possible. And I smelt something shady here. So I called Lexington on Tuesday (7/20) again and I got mix signals from them. One guy told me the chair was shipped and if I had problem I should talked to the manager, David. Apparently, some old shady business, when I called for David, he was never available. Another guy told me (after I confronted with him about my finding from the FedEx representative that they had never called for pickup), that the chair was still in warehouse waiting for FedEx to pickup. He added that it was really "up to the FedEx guy to show up, and sometime he may not show up." I was very upset at this point. What kind of business is this. How can he blame it on FedEx for irresponsible when they have been doing business with FedEx for quite sometimes from its eBay online store. I found it very hard to believe how much hassle I have to go through when I purchase from Lexington. The last guy I talked to said the chair should be going out today, but as of now, the chair was still not being picked up according to the FedEx rep. It s been 9 days since I ordered. Well, Lexington claimed that all purchase would be shipped within 2 business days, but in this case, Lexington definitely not doing what it claims.
My recent experience with Lexington Modern is similar to KChow's; poor/unresponsive customer service & delayed shipping. I ordered counterstools back in early June from Lexington, was charged for them on my credit card, but never received shipping information. I sent an email to check on the order about a week later & never received a response. I followed-up with a call and was told (by the lackadaisical customer service guy) that the counterstools were on backorder & would not be available until the end of July. I was shocked since I hadn't been notified of the backorder & my card had already been charged for something that wasn't going to be available for another 8 weeks. Customer service told me that they had to charge my card in order secure the backorder. Now that it's the end of July, I sent several emails to check on the order & never received a response. I followed up with calls to customer service & received vague responses until I insisted on a specific shipping date & they told me that the stools were in the warehouse & would ship "any day". More than a week has gone by since then & they have only just now finally shipped. I only found this out by calling every day this week to check on it, since they do not respond to email.
I have no idea how Lexington received such a good rating on ebay. I, for one, will not be shopping with them again.
My husband ordered a repro (obviously) tulip table and chair with red cushion last week from Lexington Modern's Amazon store. Prior to ordering, we had checked their website several times over the past couple of months to review products and prices.
The products shipped the same day, arrived promptly (in less than a week), and had no damage or problems. The only issue we had was the local freight shipping company could not find our address and did not call to let us know. We spent more time on the phone with the freight company trying to reschedule delivery and taking apart the wooden pallet than worrying about the sale.
The products look great, were simple to assemble, and meet our needs for a computer workstation. We have no reason to not order from Lexington Modern in the future.
I've had the worst experience with this company. I ordered the tulip table in May. The table comes damaged. Not only that the box came with nails sticking out of the carton/crate and scratched up my floors. I call to get a replacement. They tell me they will ship me one right away. I hear nothing from them for a week and I call back. Customer service goes "oops" these are out of stock. So I asked why they didn't contact me to tell me earlier. They make up some lame excuse and say this item is on back order you can expect it in July. I call in July they say oh the guy gave you the wrong information, its coming in August. I call in August, they say the same thing, September. September they tell me to call back in October. Its also funny how they always tell me to call back on a date that is Jewish holiday. Since they are all Jewish they never pick up the phone on that day! So I got my table today finally. And guess what the table is damaged again. It's oval and not round! I call back and customer service refuses to give me another replacement and says that I will need to bring the table to their warehouse at my own cost to prove to them that there is a problem and if I wanted a refund I would need to pay out of pocket.
So recap I paid for a damaged table in May that scratched up my floors and got played by customer service for half a year. When I finally got the table, it was damaged again and now customer service won't replace it for me saying that is just how they table is made. They put me on hold for 20 min now and it seems like they went home.
Do not! I warn you! Do not order from this company. There are other repro companies that have far more superior customer service. No one should ever order from them and get played around like I did. In hindsight I should've bought the real thing and saved myself half a year of headaches.
Ok, I have read the plethora of quotes and experiences so far, I must admit I am conflicted. On the one hand, everyone who has ordered this tulip (seemingly easily breakable plastic) chair and/or counterpart table has not been pleased with the results. But what I am wondering is if anyone has had dealings with this company involving the reproduction Arne Jacobsen egg chair? I am SERIOUSLY coveting it in the terra cotta leather. Allegedly it is analine-dyed leather, which is comparable to the quality of the leather Tyler sofa my husband and I recently purchased from Mobilia, and considering the chair's construction I doubt it is easy to screw it up.?? Is there anyone out there who has had the hopefully good fortune of successfully receiving this little gem?
This is my story:
On October 26, after finding your orange womb chair for sale on Ebay at $599, I spoke to Moshe and he wrote me that I have to come & get the chair as they have it in stock at the warehouse. Which I did, only to my disappointment (first in a long line with this company) Moshe wasn't well informed as the chair was NOT in the warehouse. So I placed an order with Levi, paid $300 and been told the chair will arrive in 8 weeks at the most. 8 weeks later I called (as nobody there seems to return calls or keep customers updated on what's going on with their order) and been told by Levi that the chair is in the customs, waiting to arrive at the warehouse any day. I kept calling & getting the same run around for a couple of days... than it was Justin, to whom I spoke on January 3rd, who solemnly promised me he will take care of this for me, and he will call me the next day for updates. Never happened! I called 10 days later, and spoke to Micky, who said the chair should be at the warehouse by January 18th. So I called on January 18th only to get more aggravation from Micky, who now changed his story saying that maybe the next week will get the chair... at this point, I requested to speak with a supervisor, as it's been 3 months since I placed the order & only getting the run around. So after placing me on hold for 15 minutes, got cut off so I had to call back, I finally get Meir on the phone. He is now telling me is not next week that I might get the chair, it may be 2 weeks!!!! I am beyond aggravated at this point & I am requesting $100 of the FULL PRICE (with was $599) and I am AGAIN getting the run around! I am placed on hold AGAIN for 25 minutes this time, before being hung up upon. I called back, only to get Meir telling me he can only give me 5% off after all this!!! And to top it off -that I MAY get the chair EVENTUALLY in about 2 weeks!!! After 3 months already passed!!!!!!!
So at this point I am so furious about the whole deal, about the fact I got 5 different stories from 5 different people in this shady company, and 3 months after placing and order I'm not even given a reasonable discount for the inconvenience!
So everybody needs to know how Lexington Modern is choosing to treat its clients.
RUN - DO - NOT - WALK away from Lexington Modern Furniture. This is the WORST online order experience I've had in my entire life. If you value your sanity, time & dollars you will look elsewhere for replicas. Pay a hundred or two more at another site that has effective shipment processes, customer service and order history databases. Purchase at your own peril!!!!! LM charges your card, takes your money, then mysteriously items are on backorder. This appears to be a scam to get cash at worst or at best (so to speak) the worst online order systems and processes in the WORLD. BEWARE!!!!!!!
Folks - don't be duped, listen to kChow & ggk. I'm about to issue a dispute with AMEX for an item that was packaged like it was being moved across the living room. Of course it arrived damaged and now I'm existing in LM CUSTOMER SERVICE HELL!!
I have purchased a few items from Lexington Modern. I don't feel they make any claim that they are selling the real deal; all items are in the "style" of... All three items were shipped and received (in perfect condition) within a week of my order. I would say if you are looking for a classic touch on the cheap, then you should give this seller a try!
Not impressed at all. I ordered an eileen gray table and it arrived scratched and so crooked that it could not be put together. I called customer service to explain the problem and he tried to convince me to keep the table at 50percent off. But I explained it could not be put together at all, so he said he would send another, which he did. It came and was even more misaligned than the first. It just could not be assembled at all. The hole in the glass was in the wrong place and the screw did not fit into the hole. It was just a mess. I have since sent this one back and am waiting my refund. I of course refused to take another table. They tried to convincemeto take another table saying they had just changed manufacturers and that the new table comes already assembled. No way. Twice bitten trice shy.
I normally do not like to get involved in discussions such as this. But I would like to clear the air a bit. Inmod and lexington modern are in no way affiliated. Reproductions come out of over 100 factories in China (I have visited most). There are tremendous differences in quality and materials used in different factories. We do not import from the same manufacturers. Inmod imports the highest quality products made in the orient. You will see this in the materials offered on inmod reproductions, such as high wool content fabrics, stainless steel frames, and full grain / full aniline leathers. Inmod employs a full staff of customer service personnel here to assist customers.
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. Most of the positive comments on this page were posted by vested interests in the company (I traced back with my computer--I'm a comp. tech). I think I just lost 600 bucks. I ordered 6 chairs, and my account is still being processed. I tried calling the company, but received a message saying they were closed (at 2PM on a Tuesday?). I sent more than one email---no response. I think they are out of business and this is a scam.
stay away from this company! I got burned trying to buy a table from them! Do not buy anything from them for any reason!
wow, bummer feedback. i just ordered a tulip table saturday. i hope it's a positive experience for me.
I wish I would have found this site sooner! I've been experiencing the same run around as the rest of you. I've been calling almost daily for the last two weeks. First it was the warehouse move, then the freight company (who had a tracking number but had never been authorized to pick anything up). The furniture was to have shipped 7-13-11, then 7-26-11, then 8-3-11 or 8-4-11. Luckily I made payment by credit card which I am disputing. The Lexington Modern web has listed the order as processing and won't allow me to cancel AND they have already charged my credit card for furniture I do not have. I would agree with the others STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. They will drive you nuts. Go somewhere else.
thank you. I am sufficiently scared and will not order from lexington modern. V. useful post
As am I!!! I've been checking out different repros of the Eames molded plywood lounge chairs. Sadly, I can't do the real thing, so I'm comparing those on Inmod, Lexington, and Gibraltar. Lexington's out now- any thoughts on Gibraltar? Unfortunately, they don't have free shipping... Thanks!
from kfur: (I traced back with my computer--I'm a comp. tech)
what a load of crap. if you've had a bad experience with a company, that's fine. you don't need to lie.
i've been interested in a lounge chair from these guys, but as they're also an amazon.com seller, it's probably best to go through amazon. free prime shipping, and if it's no good, amazon will handle the return no questions asked.
With their feedback on Ebay and Amazon, I took a leap of faith with Lexington. Ordered an LCW replica from one of their Amazon listings - got a tracking number this morning, will post an update when it arrives.
The LCW replica is good - the plywood isn't molded perfectly so I might have to modify the shock mount points on the neck a little - but overall I like the piece for the price.
Got a call from L.M. this morning - they're sending me replacement parts and aren't having me send back the defective ones. All in all I'm extremely satisfied with my order from them so far.
I had (actually still have) an issue with one of the 6 office chairs I purchased, I filled out the claim form, spoke to two representatives who were very nice on the phone, but never did what they said they would do and never returned my calls or emails! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! The problem is still unresolved after two months! I am a designer in the San Francisco area and I will never use them again!
I had my replacement parts within a week of speaking to LM on the phone - they fit and everything is great.
CarrieL - if you went though amazon I would suggest using the A to Z claim to get your money back if you haven't already. That's the only reason I was willing to order from them given the polarizing reviews by "real people" (not counting Amazon & Ebay's positive feedback)
Just received a Noguchi style table (free shipping was cool) from LM
Got a notice it shipped, two days later it was here, perfect
Do NOT order from Lexington Modern furniture! Just a friendly warning. I posted on the page to warn customers about my story: I ordered a chair and a coffee table that were listed "in stock", then they charged my card but never sent me confirmation emails, and I can't check my order status either. I didn't receive ANY calls or emails regarding my order shipment or status for 2 weeks, then I tried to call their customer service (the only phone number listed on their website), during weekday, from 10am-5pm, I called like every day, and the voice in the phone just keep saying "Sorry, our west coast office is now closed, please try again during our office hours blah blah blah". I couldn't get ahold of them for 3 whole weeks, wrote them countless emails and no replies. So I went to my bank and appeal the charges, then I also canceled my card just to be safe. THEN 3 months later, yeah, 3 MONTHS, I received a call from them inquiring about my order status. They said "they got my order and failed to charge my card, and sorry for the delay because they didn't have the chair in stock". I simply told them no, and I hung up. This is unacceptable. Plus, they sell replica of the patented furniture pieces that were designed by famous designer - but they didn't get the permission to produce them-they just do it anyway. Because all of their factories are in Asia, they have really uneven quality of products. My friend ordered from them and received a table 5 months late (not in stock, again), then the table arrived broken, scratched, and the drill holes wont line up with the nails. She demanded for a return and refund, they charged her for 150 dollars just to ship it back to factory. Now I ran into this page, and saw these people considering buying stuff from them, I just thought I should give this warning. I posted my story briefly on the page, but the page administrator deleted it immediately, and permanently banned me from their page so I can't post any comments on their wall ever again. This is a shady company. They just do shady stuff to their customers, leave them confused and ripped off, then doesn't even bother to give any apology or explanation.
Beware. That's all I want to let you know. Thanks for reading.
And I made a page on facebook just to warn everyone about it. I'm not asking for any likes on the page. Just spread it around if you can, and try to warn others to stay away from this shady company.
DO NOT BUY from Lexington Modern. Everybody is correct in saying you get what you pay for and I wasn't expecting too much as I was getting something cheap. But I did expect a delivery without much hassle. A week after my purchase had been listed as Shipped on their website, there was no tracking information from them or the shipper, whom I had never heard of, by the way. I called. Mostly got a message stating they were now closed (it was 1 PM on the west coast!). After a couple days I got someone on the phone who looked into it and found my sofa had been still sitting on their dock. A sofa sits on your dock for a week and you don't question what it's doing there? So they shipped it via another courier whom they said was more reliable. When it finally arrived a week later I was told by the driver that they are just a shipper and they don't bring items into the house--they just drop them off. So there I was, left with a sofa on the curb in front of my building. By Myself.
You've destroyed my hopes and dreams! I was really hoping on buying all this imitation stuff because DWR is DNWR for me.
I don't live close to Lex :(
So reading all these posts lead me to believe Lex had to partner with bad vendors and bad shipping and to top it off stressed out customer services caught in the middle of this mess...all this lead to these unfortunate postings of broken furniture, late furniture, and frustrated customers.
5 months late? cmon.
I had hoped 2012 would come back with some positive postings of Lex solving these issues by now. But the last posting from march and feb 2012.. ugh.. From the front, the website looks good, an excellent selection of products, a great BIO on the inspiration and history all this stuff comes from. Lex also jumped on the daily deal bandwagon, groupon inspired.
Lex has good potential, I hope they do the right thing and get their online department together. I really like what the company stands for. They better re-train customer service. And they better have tracking automatically enabled on purchase like other sites.
5 months late? please.. broken furniture? bad production with un-aligned holes?
on the bright side.. if you live close to a Lexington.. I envy you since you can inspect the product, buy on site,, and load it up in your truck like an IKEA easy purchase. so at least you can avoid the shipping issues and pick out a nicely crafted product out of the heap. Made in china! LOL.
Good luck buyers.. to your hopes and dreams of modern furniture..
NEVER BUY FROM HERE: Bought 10 chairs from here and they all ripped within 6 months. All in roughly the same spot. 10 other of the same chair from them didn't rip at all. Will they honor the year warranty? NO......WILL NEVER BUY FROM HERE AGAIN.
wow; i'm so disappointed; I've been eyeing the egg chair to purchase from them; thanks so much guys for this valuable information; I WILL NOT BUY FROM THEM!!
Has anyone found a quality replica of the tulip chair?

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Two three-pointers by Ben Brust, one to end regulation and the other in overtime, powered the Wisconsin Badgers to a 65-62 upset of number-one ranked Michigan Saturday.
The shot which forced overtime had the crowd in Madison buzzing.
The Badgers trailed by 3 and had less than 3 seconds on the clock when Brust took a pass at mid-court, dribbled once and fired up a prayer to tie the score and keep the Big Ten Conference game going.
Michigan becomes the 3rd top-three team to lose this week and this should be the 6th straight week with a different team on top the AP Top 25 rankings.
Brust scored 14 points to lead the Badgers, including four from outside the arc.
Wisconsin's record is now 17-7, including 8-3 in the Big Ten.
Jared Berggren added 13 points and took down 8 rebounds. The Badgers had four players in double figures. For both teams it was the second straight game which went an extra period.

Brendan Rodgers has tabled two bids for the England international - the last a take-it-or-leave-it £25m - with Liverpool hopeful they would be able to move the deal forward once Saints announced Ronald Koeman as their new manager.
But the Dutchman's arrival does not appear to have altered Southampton's stance, with executive director Les Reed adamant Lallana, or any other player, will not leave St Mary's unless it makes financial sense for the south coast club.
"Lallana's been here long enough, we've brought him to this level and we feel that perhaps he should give it a little bit longer," he told BBC South Today.
"Anybody seriously considering coming for our players is going to have to think very significantly about the size of the fee.
"If we do take money it will be because it's the right amount and it enables us to improve the team and move forward."
Southampton are holding out for more money for Lallana as they owe former club Bournemouth a 25 per cent sell on fee.
I think Liverpool should have walked away at £20m, anything upwards of £25m is madness. There's no need to pay an English tax, there are plenty of homegrown players in the squad already and a wealth of attacking talent available from abroad. Just walk away.- thebigshow

December 02, 2010
On Tuesday TheLeafsNation.com ran a funny bit from the Pension Plan Puppets boys, featuring some spectacularly pathetic defending by Toronto on a Martin St. Louis(notes) goal.
The post was aptly titled "We've got to work on our communication," because, y'know, when you out-number your opponent in your D-zone, how in bloody hell does their one-time Hart Trophy winner get left alone in front?
Obviously, there was a whole lot of "duhhh I thought you had 'im" going on out there.
On-ice communication is essential - to this, my college roommate can attest. He's the guy who had to sit in the penalty box during practice and yell his own name until coach told him to stop, because he wasn't calling for passes during practice.
Apparently this particular attribute is one that coaches value.
The only time calling for passes is a problem is when you're trying to sneak behind a D-man for a breakaway, and you let him know you're there.
Somehow, that dilemma has led to the introduction of the "woo" callers, who somehow believe that, like a dog whistle, only their teammates can hear them when they use that stupid sound.
Frankly, the "woo" caller is a bit of a [expletive].
He skates around like he's wearing Harry Potter's cloak of invisibility, only to reveal himself at the last second with his high pitch punch-worthy mating call. Then he gets to the bench and informs you he was open. He's the guy who needs good linemates, because he doesn't make plays unless he gets (woo!) set up because he's (WOO!) open.
On-ice chatter comes in all different forms, so let's break 'em down.
Wooers be damned, we've given them too much attention already.
Goalie-style communication
Having a talkative goalie in the defensive zone is a blessing from above (incidentally, it's why I'd be hesitant to sign a non-English speaking tender).
They can be the ultimate quarterback, the rare stationary player with the majority of the play in front of them, which helps them direct traffic.
The one-word-advice guys ("slot!") are fine -- the play happens fast -- but I love a goalie who speaks in full sentences. I even love the triple repeat that usually occurs as panic rises, like, say, right before I miss an assignment and we get scored on.
"Bourney backdoor, Bourney BACKDOOR, BOURNEY BACKDOOR! F*&%!"
Coach-style communication
This is the least effective form of communication. Bench bosses should stick to talking to the players on the bench, countering systems and matching lines.
I'm telling you, I can't recall a time in a game I heard, processed and adjusted to one of the muffled bellowing of a coach who clearly wished he was in skates and not a suit.
Callllmmmm downnnnn, buddy. And quit standing on the actual bench.
Linemate/center communication
Having a talkative center is a blessing too.
It's amazing what a difference it makes if you can just get a little help from someone who can watch your six for you.
Simple phrases: "Chip," "deep," "I got low," "stay high" -- make all the difference. It's like strapping some combination of a GPS and a fish-finder to your back. Good talk makes it feel like cheating.
I played with one center for two years in college, and we had it down to an art. We were able to communicate essential messages, including crucial ones prior to puck drop, like "brunette, nine o'clock, three rows up."
"Yep, discuss later."
Referee communication
These guys will inevitably be in the way sometimes.
So you have to work with them by using a few simple phrases, and they have to do the same.
Mostly it's just "behind you!'s," but sometimes the refs take it to the next level:
"Sticks down fellas, sticks down" or "I've got number 12 right now, who else wants a penalty?" or "don't eat the puck Marty, play it ... no seriously Marty, you CAN'T EAT THE PUCK."
D-partner to D-partner
Breakouts are ten times smoother when D-partners play together consistently and learn to communicate back there.
When one guy goes back on a puck, the other has to be hollering where his partner needs to go with it, as that guy can't see behind him, let alone farther up ice. Short phrases make it easy, like "quick up, "hard rim" and "reverse."
When they don't talk and start turning pucks over, it's really fun to get to the bench and use a few words of your own, like "rock" and "hands," or "meat" and "head," or simply "traveshamockery."
• • •
The more you talk out there the easier the game gets for your linemates, defensemen, and everyone involved in the game. It's the calling card of a good group, and a big reason why team chemistry plays a part in the success of so many teams.
Plus, if you want to run your mouth at the other team, it can be good to have a talkative linemate for obvious reason: "Pronger's got a lock on your lower skull with his elbow duck."

Lift Depression With Meditation
By Ziba Kashef
With summer coming to a close and shorter, darker days ahead, you might be wondering how to cope with the negative thoughts that often accompany the season's change and can lead to depression. A recent study found that age-old meditative techniques and more modern cognitive therapy can help alleviate symptoms. Anil Coumar, a psychotherapist and director of the mental health clinic at the University of Washington, Seattle, offers these do-it-yourself mood-lifting meditations:
Get moving. For many people, meditation is a remote, Eastern technique that involves sitting with your legs crossed on a cushion. But almost any activity can be mindful and healing, says Coumar. "Through a practice of mindfulness, we can see how our thoughts are not facts—they come and go." To slow down your thinking and realize that you can release negative thoughts as quickly as they come, try this eating meditation: Hold a raisin in your hand and intentionally look at it as if you've never seen one before. Roll it between your fingers and notice each crease. Pay attention to your thoughts about it—maybe you'll think, This is ugly or I've never noticed the true color of a raisin before. Then put it in your mouth and observe how your saliva flows as you chew.
Uncover your unconscious. Imagine you're walking down the street and see a good friend walking in the opposite direction. You nod and smile, but your pal just looks ahead and keeps going. How do you respond? "Someone might say, 'Oh, she probably didn't see me.' Another might think, 'What did I do wrong now?' Depending on how you interpret that event, you're going to feel good or bad," says Coumar. This kind of cognitive exercise can teach us how we unconsciously have these thoughts. The point? To make the normally unconscious thoughts that fuel depression conscious so you can acknowledge them—and then more easily let them go. —Ziba Kashef

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - State Representative Garey Bies announced he is launching a campaign for Wisconsin Secretary of State.
The Sister Bay Republican says he wants to bring a "fresh and pragmatic perspective" to the office.
Democrat Doug La Follette, who has held the office since 1982, will seek reelection and has argued he wants to see many of the duties restored to the office, after they were gradually taken away in recent years.
A proposed constitutional amendment that would have done away with the office entirely was dropped this session...however lawmakers have indicated they will continue to pursue the issue in the future.

I decided to make a lemming/bleach game using the lbz engine in my free time. The game play will basically be exactly the same as lemmingballz but hopefully i will make some changes in future if develop this enough. Hopefully by the time im done with this it will have bleach characters, complete with transformations and attacks, a few stories and new levels. Anyone willing to help will be much appreciated.

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen:
Before proceeding, there are no new entrants into the banking morgue.
Yesterday, the banking cartel orchestrated a fierce attack on silver and gold as this was the last day before the longs put their money to take possession of their metals.
Gold closed the week's session at $1364.00 down $8.90. Silver was hit with massive amount of non backed paper and this metal finished the session at $26.72 down 82 cents on the day.
It seems that every rally for gold and silver was thwarted with new paper as the cartel did not wish to have these metals rise with so much turmoil throughout the world.
I would like to go straight to the comex trading and reveal what is going on here.
Let us first explore gold:
The total comex gold open interest closed the session at 607,664 down from Thursday's reading of 622,712 for a drop of a huge 15,048 contracts. Gold closed slightly lower on Thursday but rebounded from severe selling pressure to regain most of its losses. The extreme OI drop means we had marginal losses at the beginning from long liquidation but later, the banks were frightened by the rally and they covered some of their shorts. The front December month in gold showed the OI dropping from 170,040 to 103,310 which is to be expected. This is basis Wednesday night, so we will need today's data which he will get on Monday. The volume at the comex today was a huge 255,157. No doubt the real number will be huge higher. The comex did not provide confirmed data for Thursday's trading. The front options delivery month of November saw its OI remain at 20.
Now for the all important silver comex data:
The total comex silver open interest closed the session, Friday with a reading of 137,944 down a huge 9741 contracts. I do not believe we had any spec liquidation yesterday so it looks to me like the bankers got scared and covered some of their short positions. If you recall, silver had a stellar day and refused to buckle under the weight of the banker's supply of non backed paper. The front month of December saw a smallish roll of 14,000 contracts for a reading of 28,288 which is basis Wednesday night. This number is extremely high especially on the eve of the 2nd biggest holiday in the USA calendar .The front options exercised for a silver November contract saw its OI at 4. The estimated volume today was a very high 108,424. The volume on the front December month was an unbelievable 60,000 plus contracts. Nobody in their right frame of mind would day trade silver on the last day and nobody would be stupid enough to short sell and be caught offside. All I can tell you is this: stay glued for Monday's readings.
Now we shall see what happened to our deliveries and inventory changes:
Here is a chart on the 26th of November for gold and silver comex inventory changes and deliveries.

No of oz to be served 20
Let us start with silver:
The tranquility in silver is very noticeable whereby the only transaction for both is a tiny withdrawal of silver of 1,980 oz.
Somehow the comex had 4 contracts exercised in their back pocket and they failed to notify the public on this. On Friday, 4 notices were sent down for a total of 20,000 oz.
The number of notices left to be fulfilled is zero. Thus the total number of silver oz standing in this non delivery month is as follows:
906 notices x 5000 oz equals 4.53 million oz. I doubt if there will be any more silver standing.
And now for gold:
Absolutely zero on everything, non deposits, no withdrawals and no adjustments. However 2 notices were sent down for delivery for 200 oz.
There is still an open interest of 20 contracts that must be satisfied by Tuesday night midnight
The total number of notices sent down so far this month total 1149 or 114900 oz of gold. Since 20 open interest contracts remain to be served, that equals 2000 oz.
Thus the total number of gold ounces that are standing to delivery in this non delivery month of November is as follows:
114900 oz + 2000 oz (to be served) = 116900 oz or 3.4 tonnes of gold.
In our physical news, here are the NAV's of all our ETF;s we have been following. For the first time, I will be showing Sprott's silver fund:
First: the central fund of Canada CEF.a: premium to NAV 9.5% (basis November 26).
Second: Sprott silver fund with its call letters PSLV: 7.64% premium to NAV
Third: Sprott gold fund: PHYS:2.64% positive to NAV
The SLV inventory remained the same at 344 million oz. The GLD inventory remained constant at 1285.08 tonnes of gold.
From this day forth I will be reporting on these funds as to their premiums to NAV and the inventory levels at the SLV and GLD.
Now we shall see the big stories of the day.
I thought that this Jim Sinclair commentary on the speech Nigel Farage gave to the European parliament was something out of the ordinary. This will go down as one of the classic speeches anywhere on the shape of the global economy. First Jim Sinclair comments and then the video.
Jim Sinclair's Commentary
This is a total Western world currency problem whose basis is still not fully discussed. The essence of the problem is as much overspending and debt, but media forgets, facilitated by the national OTC derivative camouflage.
QE will go to infinity and the race to the bottom is going to get UGLY. Although Nigel Farage is correct, he has no concept of what doing the right thing will result in immediately.
There is no practical way out of this. I have told you that for 8 years and nothing has changed.
Gold is the only currency that is going to survive this, defined as the preserving of buying power, as it always did throughout monetary history.

The FDIC released the number of problem banks and they are increasing:
List of Problem Banks Grows Despite Solid Net Income
Published: Tuesday, 23 Nov 2010 | 10:25 AM ET
By: Reuters with CNBC.com
The number of banks on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp's confidential "problem" list grew over the summer even while the overall industry posted solid net income.
The FDIC says its list of troubled banks rose to 860 in the July-September quarter from 829 in the previous quarter.
At the same time, the FDIC says banks earned $14.5 billion during the third quarter. That was a decrease from the previous quarter's result of $21.4 billion, but well above the $2 billion banks earned a year earlier.
The FDIC says banks set aside less money to cover future loan losses than at any time since the October-December quarter of 2007, before the financial crisis. Fewer borrowers were behind on payments for credit cards and construction loans.
U.S. bank industry earnings fell by almost $7 billion in the third quarter but were far better than a year ago as the industry continues to recover from the financial crisis.
"The industry continues making progress in recovering from the financial crisis," FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said in a statement. "Credit performance has been improving, and we remain cautiously optimistic about the outlook."
The banking industry has been setting aside less money to guard against losses, helping to boost earnings.
The amount of bad loans, those 90 days or more past due, declined for the second consecutive quarter, the agency said in its latest quarterly report. The balances for these loans declined by 2.1 percent, or $8.3 billion, in the third quarter.
Nearly 19 percent of institutions were unprofitable in the third quarter, however, and almost 36 percent had lower quarterly earnings then a year ago. As of last Friday, 149 institutions had failed so far in 2010.
The number of banks on the agency's "problem list" grew from 829 to 860, which is the highest number since March of 1993 when there were 928 institutions on the list.
"As we continue to emerge from this devastating financial crisis, building capital must remain a priority for insured banks so that they can maintain ready access to funding and continue to serve as credit intermediaries even under adverse conditions," Bair said.
This hit the street yesterday afternoon. The author, Charles Penty of Bloomberg is correct when he states that the Euro will be dead once the vigilantes attack Spain. The bailout needed is just too large.
Here is this important article: (courtesy James Sinclair and Bloomberg.com)
European Banks 'Nearly Bust' If Euro Collapses, Evolution Says
By Charles Penty – Nov 25, 2010 3:31 AM MT
The European banking system would be "nearly bust" if the euro were to be abandoned which means the 16-member currency "cannot and should not go," Evolution Securities Ltd. said.
"If the euro is abandoned, and we go back to the peseta, lira, escudo, drachma etc., devaluations would follow immediately," said Arturo de Frias, head of bank research at Evolution in a note to investors today, adding the industry is a "great buying opportunity." Devaluations mean write-offs "of a size that would render the whole European banking system completely insolvent."
Contagion from Europe's sovereign debt crisis is spreading to Spain, sparking concern that the European rescue fund set up in May isn't large enough. French, German and U.K. banks could lose 360 billion euros ($479 billion) if the euro collapsed, assuming a 30 percent devaluation in the wake of the restoration of national currencies, said de Frias.
The damage caused by the abandonment of the euro would be such that such an outcome is impossible and the "only way forward" for Europe is fiscal union, he said.
"It is simply too late," he wrote. "There are too many cross-border investments in Europe to go back to national currencies."
This hit Thursday night where the politicians in Hungary has started to nationalize all private pensions.

Hungary Follows Argentina in `Nightmare' Pension-Fund Ultimatum
By Zoltan Simon – Nov 25, 2010 4:37 AM MT
Hungary is giving its citizens an ultimatum: move your private-pension fund assets to the state or lose your state pension.
Economy Minister Gyorgy Matolcsy announced the policy yesterday, escalating a government drive to bring 3 trillion forint ($14.6 billion) of privately managed pension assets under state control to reduce the budget deficit and public debt. Workers who opt against returning to the state system stand to lose 70 percent of their pension claim.
"This is effectively a nationalization of private pension funds," David Nemeth, an economist at ING Groep NV in Budapest, said in a phone interview. "It's the nightmare scenario."
Hungary is rolling back pension changes implemented more than a decade ago as countries from Poland to Lithuania find themselves squeezed by policies designed to limit long-term liabilities by shifting workers into private funds. Now the cost is swelling debt and deficit levels at a time when the European Union is demanding greater fiscal discipline.
This report was received early today and it highlights the mess inside Spain. The author is Harry Wilson of the UK Telegraph:
Spain could be forced to seek a bail-out within months, warns Barclays
The weight of bank debt needing refinancing next year could threaten Spain's solvency and force it to become the next European country to seek a bail-out, according to a report from the investment banking arm of Barclays.
8:30AM GMT 27 Nov 2010
After Ireland was finally forced this week to ask for financial help from the European Union and International Monetary Fund, Barclays analysts now say it is possible that a similar fate could await Spain.
In the first four months of 2011, the Spanish government and the country's banks must raise about €70bn (£59.2bn) in the bond market, which Barclays said would be a "big test for investor appetite", adding that it was concerned with the "execution risk".
"Our view is that the challenges facing Spain remain substantial – with the likelihood of a positive outcome poor until at least the sovereign and the banks have successfully navigated their way over the funding hump facing them both in Spring 2011," said the analysts.
The situation facing Spain is in some respects similar to that which led to the implosion of the Irish banking system, with international investors reluctant to buy the country's bonds as fears remain over the risks contained within the financial system.
While the Irish government repeatedly insisted it was fully-funded for the next year, the funding position of the Irish banks made the bail-out inevitable as they faced redemptions of €25bn in government-guaranteed debt they had issued.
"The funding crisis for the Irish sovereign was in fact a funding crisis for the Irish banks, triggered by a massive bank issuance calendar and renewed concerns over asset quality,
"Simply put, the Irish sovereign has been dismembered by its banking system," said Barclays.
Portugal and Italy each face similar issues. However, neither country faces the same huge refinancing schedule that Spain does, with bond redemptions more evenly spread out over the course of next year.
The Spanish government has set up an €99bn fund to help its banks, however only €12bn of this is pre-funded and €11bn has already been drawn down, meaning the country will have to borrow more from the bond market to fund the rest.
Spanish pensions funds could be leaned on to buy some of the bonds, but not enough to cover the entire amount the government will need to raise.
This caught my eye. Today I noticed that gold rallied by dollars in the last 3 or 4 minutes before closing. Then in the after-hours, the volatility on gold index plummeted.
Usually this means someone is unwinding a long volatility on Gold with a short on Gold. The unwinding may signal that someone is standing for huge amounts of gold:..
from zero hedge:
Surge Of Inexplicable After Hours Selling Takes Gold Volatility Index To All Time Low
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/26/2010 20:07 -0500
In addition to the rout in the ES, VIX and GC which we pointed out earlier, there were some additional fireworks behind the scenes in today's after hours session. TheCBOE Gold Volatility Index, the ^GVZ plunged by the most in over a year, as the index hit an all time low of 15.92 without the underlying making much of a notable move. The most curious aspect of the trade was that the entire dump occured in the AH session. Many were left scratching their heads over what caused this monstrous unwind in long vol positions: was this the unwind of a massive long ES/short GC arb? We don't know, although if rumors that a major fund is planning to stand for delivery of Dec gold turn out to be true, then obviously someone got confirmation today. Keep a close eye out on the GVZ. Should this price level persist on Monday, then the front futures contract will likely surge.
A trader whom we managed to reach late in the day had this to say on this stunning move:
Typical course of action for HFT and other commodity pranksters is to shake out new contract holders. They did it with absolute gusto today, shorting thousand of contracts into thin markets. That didn't work. Gold held up. Now, taking into account that peripheral EU spreads are hitting new highs, hedge funds are getting redemption requests etc, why would you go home long ES and short GC? So what they did is they sold ES into and after the close. After that ES/SPY close they can't run these 'start arb' HFT strategies any more that go long S&P and short Gold as well. Gold's closing time is 1:45pm. They had to cover shorts.
If the short covering in paper persists, perhaps the world won't even need the Krieger/Keiser physical PM campaign to destroy Blythe Masters.
And a bonus observation of the gold curve is the Gold February contract, where in the last minute someone bought 2k contracts, which represents 200,000 ounces or about $272MM worth of gold. Not a bad purchase for the last trade on the slowest day of the year.
As usual, we welcome our readers' perspectives on this largely unexpected move.
The story that I released to you on Monday is getting more attention. I can summarize the drama for you this way. Tropos, an American company. The elders who reside in Taiwan had accumulated great private wealth over the past several decades and collectively they decided that this money, denominated in USA dollars(, 700 billion dollars), was to have the Chinese people as the beneficial owners. Also there was great progress in starting the unification of Taiwan with Mainland China. The elders decided to send the money through a trustee, Mr Hryniak to Tropos at the account at Wachovia. Many large sums of money of this sort must travel through an ACAT which is an electronic transfer of funds.
The BIS, as central bank to all central banks provides the Clearing Payment and Settlement Systems that assists in the clearing of the funds as the sole Transfer Trustee. In this case, it seems that the USA Federal Reserve kept the funds for themselves and called upon its ally, the BIS to state that the BIS function is not clearing but only of supervision. There have been many lawyers on both sides of the border that have seen and verified that the ACAT was true and real. The BIS and the Federal Reserve have had their lawyers call the Tropos lawyers but the Fed and BIS lawyers refuse to put in print what they discussed on the phone. You will see in one of the correspondence, a file number has been instituted by the American authorities. The November 2nd letter to the BIS official, Corunna, is very interesting. The letter to Obama in June 2010 describes in detail, the ACAT from Taiwan to NY and how the proceeds have been kept for their own use instead of the beneficiary's.
The above letters were widely distributed to members of the G20 during their last meeting. Originally, Mainland China at various times accused Taiwan and the trustee with malfeasance but have now realized that it was the UNITED STATES FEDERAL RESERVE who has absconded with the money. Here are the letters sent to the various parties and from the body of the letters you can deduce that the other side did engage in various conversations.
You can imagine what China would do if they found out what that the USA did something with their money. Maybe buy up all of the gold and silver at the comex?
Anyway, he are the letters for you to read and I leave it up to you to decide.
Caruna Letter:
Obama Letter:
Well that wraps up the week. I hope you have an enjoyable weekend and I will see you Monday night where we should see some fireworks.
all the best

There are such devices. They are called a PBX (Phone system) and FXO VOIP Gateways. The commerical units sell for several thousand bucks a pop. So that is not a good solution for home.
However, there are always alternatives.
Microsoft and Linksys have aninexspensive SIP PBX, and there are many linux based ones as well. With the Linux ones you will need an old PC and a PCI FXO analog card($$). Switchvox has a free PBX (LINUX) and that is what I am using at home. I got my card from NetxUSa.com.
Unfortunately It is not just a matter of converting analog to SIP. SIP is just a protocol and requres contact and authentication to allow it to function. The conversion and control happens in the PBX.
Linksys is most likely your cheapest bet. It is not too fancy and will do the basics. It is also fairily easy to configure. I cannot be certain it will work with your phone though.

The smell of raw sewage was in the air at the corner of 11th Avenue and Hilltop Drive in Albany, Tuesday afternoon, after underground sewer pipes overflowed due to heavy rain.
Public Works crews were on hand to clean up the mess.
One homeowner affected by the flooded system said it was a sight to see.
"It just burst up like a fountain in two places of the yard. That amazed me," said Patricia Kalkavouras.
Kalkavouras' yard was flooded, some of the sewage making it to her crawl space.
Now she and her brother plan to pump the mess out of the yard themselves before major damage can be done to their home.
"I work so hard. It's 50 years of struggle working so hard trying to focus on retirement and sometimes you can't even reach that point because damage is done, said Kalkavouras.
Her next door neighbor showed us how she had to lay down towels in her home to prevent water from getting inside.
"It has had a little bit of a smell and you have to be careful when you flush the thing in your bathroom that you need daily. That's the bad thing," said Fran Blanford.
City Public Works officials say crews will work around the clock to clean sewage lines and are installing new equipment so events like this won't happen again.
"As we can, we go to these problem areas and run slip lining through, which eliminate cracks in pipes. We know what the problem is, we've identified them and working towards to repair them as we can," said Public Works Director Phil Roberson.
Blanford hopes the problem is fixed before overflowing water ruins her newly installed carpet.
"You pray. You pray and you hope it doesn't get wet and you don't have a smell," said Blanford.
Roberson told us his men are checking other areas in the city that may have the same problems and will install that new pipe lining.

Pounding rains and flooding this spring have Illinois farmers sharply behind in getting their corn planted.
The U.S. Agriculture Department says just 1 percent of this year's expected Illinois corn crop has been planted so far. That's down from the 24 percent that's already in the ground at this time in a typical year. Last year at about this time 56 percent of the state's corn was planted.
In Peoria County, Rob Asbell is waiting. Given the wet spring, the grower hasn't been able to do anything other than spray herbicide on 1,000 acres of the 3,000 acres his farm is committing to corn.
He's unsure when they'll get to actually plant corn - a job that by this time last year was already done.
