Love it! A great accent tablet to have! No one else will have it so why not buy it!
I got this table to use as a side table for a chair in a sitting room. It works well for that purpose. The table is light and care must be taken not to knock to over. I love the design, great price, fast delivery.
I left a former review that I don't see. If you can get one of these that has a straight table top and that doesn't tip, it's a great little table and a bargain. I had to go through several tables to get one that works. If you're willing to go through this, you'll like the table.
The piece is a lovely, high quality addition to the decor of my home.
The table is very small and I would worry about its stability with a coaster and drink on it.. Yet it is decorative and I use it as a piece to fill a vacant spot in my living room.
I purchase 5 of these tables all different and this one is the most beautiful. Color (main) is brown/black and carvings are color of wood, and the only other color is milk chocolate color. This color is a bit darker then the online photo. Like all handmade tables it has "imperfections" such as carving "mistakes". I love it and last piece of advice. .. wait for sale on all World Trade items.
The tables arrived in great condition. Shipping was prompt. I found the tables to be exactly what I wanted and needed. While I ordered a pair, each table was very different with its own distinct look and character. I love them. Thanks Overstock! GREAT item!!!
I love African themed decorative items. While in college one of my favorite and most memorable courses was an advanced African art class which centered around Western Africa so I am able to recognize many themed pieces. This small yet functional table is perfect for what I intended to use it for. I am an author and artist so it now sits in my home loft area which serves as my office and studio. It gives just that finishing touch to my studio.
The table is beautifully carved but the image color is misrepresented. The table is black, brown and cream only. There are no reddish browns in the table at all. The absence of the red color is a big disappointment! Pay attention to the measurements as the image looks wider than the actual size but the measurements are correct. Table is lightweight. I plan to put a glass top on it to help weight it down.
I love my "little" table. It is not big enough for a lamp, but I have a large plant on it, and it displays nicely. It is a very nice piece of furniture, but should not be considered significant. I do not regret making this purchase, at all. I would just like for the next buyer to consider the size and their needs before making a final decision.

A Grand Rapids woman says her computer helped her to lose more than 500 pounds.
Fifty-one-year-old Nancy Makin will tell her story Wednesday on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
Makin weighed as much as 703 pounds and spent many years living reclusively in her one-bedroom apartment.
She lost 530 pounds in less than three years.
Makin tells The Grand Rapids Press that it started happening after a relative hooked her up with a computer.
She says she discovered that she could quickly make friends in Internet chat rooms.
Her online social life ended up working wonders on her figure as she stopped using food to bury her feelings of isolation.
Makin cleans houses for a living but hopes to become a motivational speaker.

Report: California's Actual Debt At Least $848B; Could Pass $1.1T

- Brutal Beating Of Disabled Yuba City Man Likely Was Gang Violence
- Sacramento Police Ready For Protests, But Say Outreach Is Key To Avoid Violence
- Reaction To Ferguson Grand Jury Decision Fanned By Social Media
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The combined debt of California's state and local governments is at least $848 billion and could escalate past $1.1 trillion, according to a new report.
The California Public Policy Center – focused on the analysis of California's financial information on the state and local government levels — based its findings on official reports from the offices of the state controller and treasurer.
READ: California Public Policy Center Report
Gov. Jerry Brown's $27.8 billion "wall of debt" was only part of the state's official debt that the report put at $132.6 billion.
Much of the state's debt comes from general obligation bonds — funds for public works — totaling $73.1 billion, unemployment insurance loans totaling $10.9 billion, and lease-revenue bonds totaling $11.3 billion.
The debt of K-12 public school districts was estimated at $49.7 billion, city government debt was $68.1 billion, county government debt was $22.1 billion, redevelopment agencies and special districts was $110.4 billion, unfunded pension liabilities at 7.5 percent interest was $128.3 billion and unfunded retiree healthcare liability was $136.8 billion.
According to the report — at 5.5 percent interest — an additional $200 billion would be added to unfunded pension liability.
The total $848.4 billion state and local government debt is called a "low estimate" by the report.
Adding, California's long-term debt acquired by K-12 schools, cities, counties, special districts and redevelopment agencies as well as unfunded pension liabilities and future retirement healthcare could balloon the debt to $1.13 trillion.

The idyllic, Villa Rosso, was the perfect place to end our big family holiday, having travelled from Cape town, it couldn't have been a more relaxing and friendly location to spend a week, a stones throw from the beach and town.
The villa itself has everything you could wish for!
Walking up the stairs is a true Wow moment!, the living spaces are so smart, spacious and fully equipt to cater for a large family or group, they also couldn't be more looked after by the lovely housekeeper.
The terraces are so relaxing! or not, if you choose to work out on them ;) but from the moment we arrived, we were constantly on the terraces, to take advantage of the stunning views.
The extra long table and barbecue area, were a must for our group of carnivores, so we spent most nights down there cooking, even some fish we had caught sea fishing that day.
Plett itself is a very fun, friendly and relaxing place, you could never get bored there.
I wouldn't hesitate to... more

Brilliant finish lashes look amazing but very difficult to remove
Love it!
Free delivery and super fast delivery, what's not to like?
Does not smudge, stays in place all day
Love this mascara :)
Great user friendly website. Fast delivery & fantastic products. Thanks.
Good so far! Doesn't smudge but comes off easily.
Lancôme mascara is brilliant, doesn't clump and coats lashes nicely.
Nightmare to get off but looks fab on
I do like this mascara. It coats all the lashes, including tiny ones and gives an intense black finish. It's a good mascara to wear in the evening, when you want to pump up the volume!
Very good service
Have used this product many times and always satisfied
Haven't really had time to assess product properly but seems okay just now - time will tell if I re-order!
easy to use web site and prompt delivery
Order delivered in the time scale stated.
I've used Lancôme mascara before many times but surpasses all others that I've used!
A1 service- as always :-)

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) - FBI chemists say they were asked to test paintbrushes and small samples of debris found in the apartment of Colorado theater shooting defendant James Holmes.
The chemists testified Tuesday in a pretrial hearing to determine whether their testimony should be allowed at Holmes' trial.
Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 2012 attack. At hearings this month, prosecutors and defense lawyers are arguing over evidence that could be used to weaken his insanity claim.
It's not clear how the chemists' testimony might fit into the larger sanity debate, or whether it might play another role.
The chemists say they found salt, a form of plastic and a variety of chemicals in their tests.

Stars of ITV soap opera Coronation Street -- one of the most-watched television programs in Britain -- were caught promoting fake goods on Twitter. The sting was part of an investigation into advertising practices carried out by Dispatches, a current affairs series on rival network Channel 4, the Irish Independent reported. Over the last couple of years, the Advertising Standards Authority has clamped down on stars promoting goods on Twitter.
Apple has gotten a lot of flack over the last month for its after-sales service practices in China, and perhaps rightfully so. But instead of being exploited by Apple, police have discovered that some Chinese criminals used Apple's return system to turn more than 100 fake iPhones into real ones. In December, a Wenzhou Apple shop owner turned in what he claimed were 121 iPhone 4S BAND parts (the core of the phone, worth about $476 each) that were broken and asked they be replaced.

La Crosse's Heroin Task Force discusses how drug users are getting hooked
La Crosse's Heroin Task Force focused its attention Thursday on how people might become hooked on the drug.
The group of community leaders, law enforcement, and medical experts heard from a pair of dentists about how they prescribe pain medication such as vicadin.
The dentists say it's important to find the right balance when determining exactly how many pain pills a patient needs to avoid having leftovers that can fall into the wrong hands. "We need to educate providers and people on being responsible in the use of those drugs, because they can be gateway drugs for other more serious, illicit drugs," said Neighborhood Smiles Dentist Dr. Ryan Yakowicz.
The task force also re-visited one of its top priorities of setting up drug drop-off boxes in the city.
It believes it's one of the safest way for people to dispose of their unwanted medication.
Despite potentially difficult state and federal regulations, they've set up another timeline with hopes of making it happen. "Really kind of a show of commitment from everybody to recognize the hurdles that are there and everybody's still committed to pushing through and making another rally if we can," said task force co-chair Keith Lease.
The task force plans to meet through April with the hope of finding ways to make a dent in the city's rising drug problem.

Governments of democratic developing countries are using international aid to support their election drives, new research from LSE has found. Dr Ryan Jablonski, an Assistant Professor in LSE's Department of Government, tracked the spending of aid across Kenya from 1992, when multiparty elections began, to 2010. His research, published this week in World Politics, reveals that electorally strategic voters receive higher levels of foreign aid over those who may be more in need but support the opposition.
Individuals in constituencies that most strongly support the incumbent party benefit from more than three times the amount of aid as those in constituencies supporting opposition parties, or about US$1.50 more in World Bank and African Development Bank aid each year on average. More|
The UK has slipped from sixth to ninth place in the 2014 Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index (GEDI). The researchers behind the GEDI study suggest that attitudes and entrepreneurial aspirations in the UK are holding back UK entrepreneurial performance. They found that while UK entrepreneurial activity is innovative and enjoys strong cultural support, its full potential may be held back by negative attitudes and a lack of ambition, relative to leading entrepreneurial economies.
The researchers found that the overall UK performance in entrepreneurship is world class. However, the different elements making up entrepreneurship in the UK – such as ability, attitudes and ambition – are not as well balanced as in the very leading entrepreneurial economies such as the US, which ranked first in the Index, and Australia, which ranked second.
Professor Zoltan Acs, LSE Professor of Practice in Entrepreneurial Development and co-author of the study said: "The UK ranks a solid 9th in the world and 6th in europe on the 2014 GEDI. This strong performance is supported by a competitive environment, a high level of human capital and a strong tech sector. The UK ranks higher on entrepreneurship then on global competitiveness or economic freedom globally. While it does better on gender equality then the european average it could do much better in this area. Most of this could be improved by increasing spending on entrepreneurship education." More|
The 'spare room subsidy' or 'bedroom tax' has left tenants struggling to cope and has failed to free up homes in many areas, according to new research from LSE and University of York for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). It also discovered that savings to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will fall short in the policy's first year.
The findings come in two separate studies published by JRF. The first is on the Housing Benefit size criteria (often referred to as the 'spare room subsidy' or 'bedroom tax'). The second looks at the impact wider welfare changes have had on social landlords and tenants. The findings use the latest available data to provide an early snapshot of how the policies have affected tenants, landlords and the government, one year on from a raft of changes to the benefits system.

Shouting at children when they misbehave, rather than reasoning with them, is more harmful to their overall behaviour, according to new research from LSE.
Dr Laure de Preux, a research officer from LSE's Centre for Economic Performance, presented her findings at the Royal Economic Society's 2014 annual conference in April.
Her study applies quantitative analysis to a question that has previously largely been the preserve of qualitative studies: the impact of parenting styles and parenting practices on children's wellbeing. More|
A new economic report, published today by the charity Rethink Mental Illness and the London School of Economics, has found that investing in quality care and support for people with schizophrenia and psychosis, results in huge savings in the long-term.
Investing in Recovery makes the business case for investment in 16 different types of care for people with schizophrenia and psychosis including peer support, family therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
It shows how investing in proven services such as Early Intervention, can generate significant cost-savings for the NHS because it reduces the need for hospital beds. The analysis found that £15 is saved for every £1 spent on early intervention. More|

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - The Virginia-based humanitarian organization Operation Blessing International is preparing for the worst if a tropical storm hits Haiti.
Operation Blessing says staff from the Virginia Beach organization is scheduled to arrive in Haiti on Friday ahead of Tropical Storm Isaac. The storm was approaching hurricane strength on Thursday and expected to move into the Gulf Coast early next week.
Ahead of Isaac, Operation Blessing is filling reserve fuel tanks, delivering clean water to a small fishing community and preparing an emergency response boat, among many other actions.
Operation Blessing says it was among the first responders to the impoverished island in 2010 after a devastating earthquake. The organization says Haiti is ill- prepared to deal with a storm with many still living in tents and makeshift shelters.

In Miami Beach there are two kinds of happy hours: the ones that begin at midnight, and the ones that begin at 6:00 a.m. But in downtown Miami, where the business people -- yeah, those with day jobs -- play, there's only one happy hour. That's when work is over, the stuffy execs go home, and the unbuttoned professionals come out to play. And there's no better place to relax than on the patio at Gordon Biersch. Located in the heart of the Brickell streetscape, the brewery has even the sharkiest of lawyers relaxing with a homebrewed lager and a plate of fried artichoke hearts. In the end the crowd here, especially on Fridays, may make it tough to negotiate some space for yourself. But if you consider the salubrious effect of a little cheer on a lot of hard-working suits -- those you're likely to be negotiating with come Monday -- then the order of business becomes clear: Drink up, shut up.

A New Year Begins With A Heavy Heart, And It's Difficult
Monday January 7th, 2013 - 6:27PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
I write this with the heaviest of hearts.
But my schedule tells me this column is due by the end of a day that started with the murder of 20 children and six adults inside the elementary school of a bucolic New England town, darkening a season of joy with unthinkable grief.
Magazine columns suddenly seem far less urgent.
So, for those slain in Newtown, CT— and every innocent bystander in the recent paths of senseless human violence and unstoppable natural destruction— let's pause from this string of words for a moment of reflection...
…The turn of the year remains a time of promise, as difficult as that might be to grasp in the wake of heartbreaking tragedy.
For the housewares business, January marks the beginning of a busy trade show season. The focus soon will move optimistically to new products and new programs that could drive retail growth during the coming months.
Financial reports tell us the retail market as a whole continues to advance steadily, even if the housewares industry as a whole swears business remains difficult.
Difficult doesn't mean impossible. Indeed, difficult is the new price of progress.
Steadily rising consumer economic confidence, while encouraging, now comes with safeguards that must be factored in if developers, marketers and merchandisers want to captivate shoppers this year and beyond.
For example, the national brand is re-emerging as a persuasive and valuable force to a warier generation of consumers demanding added product security.
Managing Resources
It will be interesting to see how merchants of all types and sizes manage their stakes in such brands in this era of full digital transparency and availability. And how vendors manage the resources required to make their own brands more valuable to consumers while differentiating the brands for key retail customers.
For all of the retailers projecting a continuation of healthy gains through 2013, the start of this year finds several struggling to regain lost market share and reclaim their futures.
Can JC Penney, as it "comps" against its huge declines of 2012, begin to show the positive sales momentum needed to fuel its re-inventive turnaround?
Can cash-strapped, cost-slashing Sears Holdings secure enough trade credit support to buoy its Sears and Kmart operations?
Can new management or a new owner recharge Best Buy with smaller stores, a refocused mix and overhauled service?
In Due Time
These questions and many more will be answered in due time, perhaps in 2013, perhaps later.
Excuse me as I write this, however, if it all seems far less urgent at the moment. A heavy heart makes a happy new year difficult. Even if difficult doesn't mean impossible.
—Peter Giannetti

Earlier today we posted this story on Facebook, and we wanted to elaborate on it here (by the way, if you haven't already done so, please "Like" tad on Facebook - there are over 3 years worth of posts that you might find beneficial!):
The Buddha once asked a student, "If a person is struck by an arrow, is it painful?" The student replied, "It is."
The Buddha then asked, "If the person is struck by a second arrow, is that even more painful?" The student replied again, "It is."
The Buddha then explained, "In life, we cannot always control the first arrow. However, the second arrow is our reaction to the first. The second arrow is optional."
To elaborate, the Buddha was describing different types of suffering. The first arrow affects all of us by virtue of the fact that we are born. If you are reading this, it is safe to say you were born - you will experience pain in your life, and you will eventually die.
This type of suffering is unavoidable.
We can have a good attitude about it, and we can make peace with it - but, we cannot avoid it. We all have a body that - if we are fortunate - will take us to old age. However, with growing old comes illness, disease, pain, and general "wearing out." And ultimately, of course, death.
The second arrow the Buddha discusses is describing another type of suffering. This suffering results from our ego, and how we view the world around us. Our compulsive mind and non-stop thoughts fuel this second arrow.
We get lost in these thoughts, and build a story around them - we make them our identity:
> "I'm a victim."
> "This bad thing happened to me."
> "I'm a loser."
> "I will never be happy because..."
Our thoughts come at us non-stop. If we don't become aware of what is going on in our compulsive minds, the suffering caused by the second arrow will be constant and pervasive.
But, with meditation and mindfulness, we can see thoughts for what they are: not permanent.
We can observe them as they come and go, like clouds in the sky. We can watch the emotions they create arise, and then - by NOT becoming attached to them - we can watch them subside. As we develop this awareness, we find that we don't become as upset/angry/defensive as we once did. We find that we react less and less to the stories and dialogue that the mind produces.
So, while the first arrow is simply the nature of reality, the second arrow is our own creation. But, we can be liberated from it! Meditation and mindfulness shows us that we don't have to be dominated by your thoughts.
Further reading: for more insight into the process from thoughts to actions, read "Do your thoughts control your destiny?" If you want to find out more about meditation and mindfulness, read "Meditation and mindfulness explained."

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 9 Episode 7 Recap: Khloe's Courage to Drop Lamarby Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 9 Episode 7, the reality show's midseason finale, finally showed us the beginning of the end for Khloe and Lamar.
She wasn't the only one mulling a gigantic life change, however, as siblings Rob and Kourtney Kardashian also took big steps towards improving their futures.
It was Khloe and Lamar at the center of the drama, though, and you knew that was coming months before you could watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online.
We are all aware how things unraveled between the two of them - drugs, arrests, other women, crack videos - but this provided a behind the scenes look.
In the end it took sisters Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, along with Khloe's best friend Malika Haqq, holding an informal intervention of sorts to make her listen.
Despite her hard work, the marriage is over. It's not her fault that the situation is what it is, but at some point she has to look out for herself and protect her soul.
No wonder this emotional episode was titled "The Courage to Change."
She finally is convinced to file for divorce after the final straw - that messed up Lamar Odom crack video about her that made its way onto the internet.
Elsewhere on the heartbreaking midseason finale of KUTWK?
The heavyset Rob Kardashian decided to go have his blood work done to see if he has any thyroid issues, and in turn receives some crazy results:
If he doesn't make major lifestyle changes, he'll become diabetic and his organs will shut down. That's a sign you're likely eating a bit too much, man.
He knows it too, and begins the process of getting some of his tattoos and stretch marks removed, while hiring a personal trainer as well as a nutritionist.
Again, he displayed some courage of his own after hitting bottom.
Meanwhile, Kourtney decides to take Scott away for a weekend in Arizona at a life transition spa (yes, these things really exist) to relax and open up.
The surprising thing is that while Scott takes to the meetings and activities and actually does open up emotionally, Kourtney doesn't really hold up her end.
Despite all he's going through with his parents, Scott is the one asking Kourtney to express her feelings and open up more, which she agrees to work on.

Khloe did have a hard time leaving Lamar. Darn, he really screwed up. Now, he has to clean up his big mess if he wants her back.
Wish I could say I seen any of their shows. I have not. Wish I could say I'm a fan. I am not. Unfortunately, these people are the ones you write about daily leaving me to ask the question...why?
so the "Gossip Money" will be stopped now.
