I have been buying from Ebuyer for a while now and their customer service is 100% better than Scan's. There is absolutely no comparison. I ordered a bulky part from Ebuyer last week and it cost £8 on delivery from England to NI. It arrived next day. That would have been about 5 working days with Scan. So, I'm happy about this announcement to say the very least.

YOYOTech appoints eBuyer as an official reseller
Mark, I have numerous invoice numbers which ended up being up to and including 5 working day deliveries, but the ship has sailed. I along with other bit-tech members have complained incessantly in the past about delayed deliveries from Scan in your own sub forum here, and all we got was 'sorry' and excuses, so I decided that enough was enough and reluctantly took my business elsewhere. I'm sorry to say that Ebuyer put Scan to shame when it comes to Mainland -> NI delivery, including shipping costs.

Fair enough,
I do not dispute there are occasions where a delivery is delayed but would suggest these are an exception rather than the norm.
Checking with our DPD account manager on average 96% of all orders shipped from SCAN are delivered on time the next working day from dispatch.
It is unfortunate that in your experience you seem to fall into the small percentage that have experienced a delay and we of course apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Also when I brought up the issue one of your CSR's he was just an ignorant fool about the entire situation, I used to spend at least a grand a month with you guys but it appeared you didn't want my money anymore.
But back on topic, it's great to see yoyotech branching out like this and also see some well spec'd computers coming out of large companies now

It's disappointing, because I think Scan have a wider range of components and certainly have a more developed, better laid out website than Ebuyer, but I had a terrible run of stock and courier related delays last year which had a knock on effect of delaying the delivery and installation of new systems to my customers as well as extending repair and return times.

I met the key Scan staff at a gaming tournament they sponsored and played in several years ago, they where extremely rude and obnoxious.
I would not recommend them ever! They apply the same attitude through support and customer service.
Regarding Scan delivery:
I love eBuyer! and have spent over £25,000 through them and they have always been consistent.

I don't buy stuff from Scan anymore after the recent spate of them sending opened, damaged returns to other customers as if they were new off the shelf. I was one of the unlucky ones to suffer with this problem, as I know a few others were.

Unfortunately both Scan and eBuyer have both let me down.
Scan - I have a bitter taste from my attempted purchase years ago, I ordered when they had stock, it went out of stock 4 days later they tried to offer me a lesser part for the same price (I only order cheap things from them now), they still have bad CS, several of my friends refuse t deal with them, paying extra from other sources is not a problem as inventory, delivery and CS are as important as the products themselves.
eBuyer - They use Yodel, so enough said! Also I sent a faulty part back to them, they tried to refund less (was within a year) when I asked for it back they couldn't find it, when I ask if they had sent it back to the manufacturer they said no, when I spoke to the manufacturer to see if it had been sent back they offered a FULL refund (they tried to deceive me out of money and the item)
Though I have used YoYoTech a couple of times, they seemed OK, using eBuyer can only be a bad thing in my books, but its their choice.

Like you I only buy goods from Scan.co.uk & eBuyer.com that are relatively cheap goods or goods which have very low chances of going faulty immediately / very early after receiving the goods from the courier!..
For my experience both e-tailers provide brilliant sales and postal service of goods I buy from them but, when it comes to warranty repairs / replacements on goods going faulty which are still well within warranty, ( in my experience ) they both will try their up most best to scam you and giving excuses after excuses and will charge you fees for returns and / or refund you less administration fees, though I haven't had a bad / faulty goods from either of these e-tailers for a long long while!..
However, the experience in regards to warranty & aftersales customer service is gonna be different from person to person!.. I think it could well be which ever staff member deals with you in the first place that I think also affects your circumstances!..

Ebuyer use Yodel...
I paid for next day delivery after waiting in all day because it can arrive anywhere between "7am and 9pm" I got nervous at about 6 pm and decided to phone yodel in which a rude young man told me i was impatient and they delivered tel 9pm (i thought okay i'll wait) 10 minutes later the delivery showed as being returned to the deport.
So i phoned up once again was told by a women the previous phone call never happened and there's nothing she can do the package would be sent out in the morning and she slammed the phone down on me...
Well... Not having that Phoned up once again and spoke to someone called Daniel he apologized for the delay and previous staff on the phone said the parcel would be sent out in the morning couldn't tell me why the driver hadn't tried to deliver it and that was basically that and couldn't tell me around what time it was arriving either.
In the night i logged into the website once again and a message had popped up saying "we tried to deliver your parcels but no one was home please select another day (that was 48 hours later) i selected the collect parcels from deport and decided i'd drive a 60 mile round trip just to get them.
In the morning we walked 2 miles to my car (i live in the town center and parking cost £13 a day so i park it the nearest i can) We fill up with petrol and away we go, we reach the deport to be told they could only find one parcel and seem to have lost the other. I explain about this whole customer experience and the 60 mile round trip and have them carry on searching a hour passes and they finally find the parcel... "We can't release the parcels to you because you don't have two forms of ID... I had my driving licence. In the meantime the manager is refusing to come out and explain whats going on. I refuse to leave and demand to speak to the manager in which the staff come back with both parcels and now just require my partners signature and her ID.
So if you purchase from Ebuyer and they use Yodel expect your damn parcels to go round like a yoyo, bad insulting service, lies and a load of crap on top.

Yodel is terrible, probably the worst along with s*ittylink. Although it does vary area to area, and driver to driver. The guy that delivers most of my parcels has worked for nearly all the delivery firms and he confirmed yodel was the worst.

Taichi leads the other elder Chosen, their families, and Noriko to a familiar campsite...As the Chosen Children�s Digimon hold off BelialVamdemon, the Dark Seed-implanted children lament that BelialVamdemon is going to win and all is lost. As they fall further and further into despair, saying that all of it is useless and the Chosen will be defeated, Daisuke yells at them, telling them not to have that attitude because there�s nothing they can�t do if they keep believing in it.Hoping to reach the Digital World, Taichi and the other elder Chosen arrive at the camp, knowing that they may be able to get there if they return to Where It All Began. As Koushirou tries to find a way to open the gate, Noriko�s parents ask the Chosen what will happen to her, and they reassure them that they will find a solution. Taichi holds up his Digivice and asks for the gate to open, and while nothing happens initially, gates from all over the world begin to react as the Chosen Children all over the world hold up their shining Digivices in unison.The Chosen�s Digimon prove ineffective against BelialVamdemon, while the Dark Seed children continue to believe it�s impossible and that there�s nothing they can do to help, since they�re not Chosen Children. However, the light from the international Chosen�s Digivices leads all of the Digimon who are partnered to them inside the Digital World to the fight, who gather in order to help in the struggle against BelialVamdemon. The light from all of the Digivices enters the Digital World and reaches the Digimon, causing the darkness to begin to subside.� A gate appears at the campsite, and the elder Chosen, taking Noriko with them, hold up their Digivices and enter the Digital World. Noriko�s father is worried, but the Chosen Children�s parents say that the only thing they can do is believe in their children.With all of the Digital Gates around the world opening at the same time, the elder Chosen, accompanied by Noriko and all of the Chosen Children around the world, arrive in the Digital World to provide their support. The kids declare that the bond between the Chosen Children and their Digimon have opened the gates, but this upsets Noriko, who takes this to mean that the Chosen Children are special and that she and the other �normal� children will be condemned to living pitiful lives forever, unable to do anything about the situation without the powers that the Chosen Children have. The combined feelings of anguish end up taking a physical form and making BelialVamdemon stronger.Daisuke tells them that being a Chosen Child means nothing, saying that there�s nothing special about himself. One of the children retorts that they have the Digimon, but Takeru tells them that the Digimon will exist if they wish it to be so, because every child has the power to make their dreams come true. Daisuke insists that the children must have some kind of dream their aspiring for, and when one of them asks Daisuke in turn what his dream is, he replies that he just wants to run a ramen shop, because he loves ramen and wants to be the best ramen maker in the world.Noriko admits that she once wanted to be a kindergarten teacher, and Hikari responds that she wants to as well. Daisuke asks the other Dark Seed children what their dreams are, and they respond in turn: to be a baseball player, to be a pastry chef, to be a comic artist - they'd all been told that their dreams were childish and silly, but they realize that no matter what others say, they should be free to dream what they like. With every personal dream that every child admits, and as the Chosen Children tell them that they can achieve their dreams if they work hard enough, BelialVamdemon begins to become weaker.The children resolve to make their own dreams come true, and as a result, each child has a Digimon and Digivice appear in front of them. BelialVamdemon dissolves completely and turns into a wave of darkness, and in response all of the Chosen Children - now including the young children - hold their Digivices up in the air, providing a light that turns into a large gun that Imperialdramon Fighter Mode blasts BelialVamdemon with and destroying him once and for all.With the long battle finally over, the Chosen Children celebrate and their Digimon revert to their normal forms. Tailmon is greeted by Gennai, who reveals that he has the Holy Ring that Tailmon lost; it had been used to control the power of darkness in the Kaiser�s base, and after the base had been destroyed, Gennai had recovered it and used it to power Jogress Evolution. Now that Jogress is no longer needed, he returns the ring to Tailmon.Gennai also reveals that the illusory world that they were in is one that transforms emotions into power, and that the Digital World is founded on that power, meaning that it has the ability to combine emotions and data. Ken also realizes that Dagomon�s ocean is the materialization of dark emotions, and when Miyako asks him what they should do about the Dark Seeds, Ken says that the seeds won�t sprout as long as the children continue to believe in the power to realize their dreams.Iori has one more thing left to do, however: he decides to go back and retrieve Oikawa from the illusory world and allow him to see the Digital World like he wanted to. As they reach the border between the two worlds, a Digimon called Pipimonnote appears in front of them, calling himself Oikawa�s Digimon partner. Oikawa remembers having met Pipimon a long, long time ago, when he and Hiroki Hida had contacted the Digital World through their video games, and Pipimon invites him to join him in the Digital World.However, Oikawa is very weak from BelialVamdemon having left his body, and, seeing that the Digital World is in a damaged state from what BelialVamdemon has done to it, decides to use the power of the illusory world in order to materialize his emotions and sacrifice his body to restore the Digital World. As Oikawa�s body dissolves, Oikawa expresses his regret that he wasn�t able to realize his dream of going on adventures in the Digital World like the Chosen did, while an anguished Iori responds that he managed to achieve his dream of seeing the Digital World at last and Pipimon sadly watches as the partner he just met disappears. However, Oikawa�s voice reassures him that he�ll always be here with him in the Digital World as his body transforms into butterflies as the Chosen look on.Takeru�s voice narrates that the sacrifice of Oikawa�s body restored the Digital World to its normal state, and as his voice overlaps with the narrator�s, we jump to 25 years in the future and find that an adult Takeru was the Narrator All Along who writes novels of his adventures in the Digital World. As Takeru narrates that every child in the world now has a Digimon partner and that the Digital World has now been recognized by people all over the world, Takeru and his son, who�s partnered to a Tokomon, arrive in the Digital World for a large meet-up of the now-adult Chosen and their children.We get to see how the Chosen have grown up:

When you become big in the sports world, always WATCH OUT FOR CAMERAS WHILE NAKED.
X-Games superstar Shaun White, is now involved in a naked X-rated photo scandal according to TMZ. It's being reported that the photos were taken back in 2009, while he was messing around in bed with a unknown woman in a hotel room. It's being said he was at a hotel party, which was a short time before he would go on to win gold in the 2009 Winter X-Games for Superpipe.
The photos are being floated around town looking for the right price to be sold at.
It's believed that those at the party were able to snap the photos of White and the lady he was in bed with. People, close to White, tried to do damage control, and erase ALL PHOTOS THAT WERE TAKEN, but someone manage to keep a few of the naked pictures of White.
Two photos have surfaced showing White kissing up on a blonde chick, with their clothes on. The other picture shows White and the same unknown woman kissing IN BED, with White grinning at the direction of the camera.
Thus far, the pictures HAVE YET to be sold, and White's camp hasn't commented on the photos.

We can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary CelebrationDoxieDined on 11/22/2014I surprised my husband with an overnight trip to Denver from Ft. Collins. Ocean Prime was recommended by a friend. It was the perfect place to celebrate our 39th Anniversary. The upon arrival complimentary glasses of champagne were wonderful as was the food and our server, Bree. We hope to make it an annual tradition! Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place to Celebrate!kparrottDined on 11/22/2014We came here for my birthday celebration to do something different than the typical chain restaurant. It was probably the best food and service we have had in quite awhile. Perfect evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Made our special occasion specialOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 11/21/2014For our wedding anniversary we were treated to champagne and dessert. We shared an excellent wedge salad.

- delicious and specialOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/19/2014My wife and I visited for our 12th anniversary, the staff was amazing, the food was delicious and the ambiance was perfect. They made it an evening to remember, topped off by complimentary champagne and dessert (on which they had happy anniversary written in chocolate drizzle around the edge of the plate).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Have a dietary issue....They work hard to help!TerriODined on 11/18/2014One of our dining group has gluten and onion issues. This restaurant worked hard to accommodate our companion's choices. We get together once a month to eat and some places won't even take a reservation when they hear that she has special needs. All the other food was well prepared, presented and served. We felt like we were fed efficiently but not pushed. We'll definitely go back.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Amazing Food & Great ServiceChristineDined on 11/14/2014We arrived slightly before our reservation time of 9pm. We were seated promptly at a tiny table in a tight spot. After maybe a minute and a half our waiter told us a booth had opened up and asked if we would like to move (we had not requested this and I was very impressed!) We were seated at a comfortable booth where we my husband and I had extra space and could hear each other. I was delighted! Our server Val was wonderful! We had the calamari, lump crab cakes, salmon, parmesan truffle fries, and black truffle mac and cheese. Everything was extraordinary, but my favorite thing was the calamari. I've lived on the gulf coast for years and it was the best calamari I've ever tasted!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fish to beefBernieVIPDined on 11/14/2014Went for fish, but the bone-in filet looked tempting and was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Entrees!JessicaVIPDined on 11/14/2014As the name would suggest, they've got great seafood entrees here. Our table had the king salmon, striped bass, and teriyaki salmon - all of which were really yummy and prepared perfectly. We also started with the fondue and gobbled it up like savages. Already looking forward to coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Birthday dinner!LoveColoradoVIPDined on 11/14/2014I have wanted to try Ocean Prime for a long time, but heard it was expensive and noisy. Yes, it is expensive, but no more than any other upscale restaurant that serves quality food and offers a great dining experience. I called about the noise issue, and the host said she' make sure we were seated at a quieter table. She honored our request, and sat us upstairs in the veranda. From our table you could see the lights and action on Larimer. It was a very cold night, and being next to windows could have been drafty, but they have wonderful overhead heaters which kept us toasty. I had the striped Sea Bass, which was moist and flavorful. My husband had the king salmon, which had a wonderful crispy crust,but perfectly cooked inside. He also had a crab cake which was excellent. My house salad was underwhelming. They should make this a bit more tasty and fun. We also shared a twice baked potato, which was just ordinary. Our server was excellent and noticed it was my birthday. At the end of the meal I was told to order anything for dessert, on the house, and I had the Key Lime Pie, and we both had excellent French Press decaf to warm us up for the drive home. They also have a great wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great All-Around EveninglenseygDined on 11/9/2014Party of 3: Sunday eve. Dimly lit dining room, fairly busy for a Sunday, but private enough in our booth. Wait staff was knowledgeable about the menu as well as wine pairings. Our waiter was good, not great, but good. The food however, was simply amazing! Not one thing on our table that was not absolutely fabulous! Filet cooked perfectly, bearnaise sauce was out of this world, brussel sprouts could have been my dessert, lobster mashed potatoes are a must have, pork chop (HOLY PORK CHOP!), ravioli appetizer & lemon berry cheesecake for dessert!Special Features:
- Uniformly superbKnyteJemDined on 11/8/2014The food was exquisite and the service superior. Everything from appetizer to drinks to the large and delicious desserts met our high expectations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Night To Remember...DawnVIPDined on 11/8/2014Celebrated our 2 year anniversary. I have never felt so spoiled. They greeted us with champagne and gave us desert. All of the staff was very nice and they made sure our night was a special as possible! The food was also delicious!Special Features:

- Impressive Business DinnerClientOutingsDined on 11/6/2014The smoking seafood appetizer had great flair to wow international guests and set the tone for a unique dining experience. Our service was impeccable and the food was delicious. The wine selection was up to par as well. The décor in the restaurant is also aesthetically pleasing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/1/2014The restaurant was beautiful and the service was great. We were disappointed with the quality of our steak. Mine was a rib eye and VERY fatty. The way it was prepared, you couldn't see the steak to cut out the fat, but then, for a $48.00 steak, you would think it would be of better quality. The price was fair for the type of restaurant, but everyone in my party was not impressed with the quality or taste of their meal. We were looking at possibly having our company's Christmas party there, but after that experience, we will keep looking.
- Outstanding!OkieDined on 10/31/2014We got a last minute reservation and couldn't have been happier. The staff was very friendly and helpful. One of the best filet's I have ever had and a I am very picky about my steaks. Served to perfection without any sauces and it was tender and so delicious! They had pomegranate sorbet and it was a perfect way to end the meal. Would come back here again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- treesrarelyreviewDined on 10/31/2014I went here for lunch and a week later took 4 friends there for dinner. The lunch server was amazing - best ever. Dinner - server was stiff, efficient, earned his tip but I didn't care for his stiffness. Food great both times. They found us a quite table so we were able to have conversation, something increasingly rare in a resturant. Downstairs there were area for people who like it more lively. So many winners.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 10/29/2014We ate here before a Comedy Works show. Great seafood (King Salmon and Chilean Sea Bass)Special Features:
- Featured Fare was a delightrhondaahrensDined on 10/29/2014The scallops and the risotto did not disappoint and a crowd favorite was the calamari appetizer. We loved our meals and were happy we walked from the Convention Center. Despite not having dessert we were all happy and stuffed when we left the restaurant.Special Features:
- Great food Great Service but $$$LuvtodineoutVIPDined on 10/28/2014Erin our server was delightful. Also very friendly valets! The scallops were very good, my dining partners enjoyed the lobster, steak and Chilean Sea bass. The bread was warm and delicious. The sides were plentiful-we had the bruselll sprouts, corn (not very exciting) and the yummy scalloped potatoes. Great wine list by the glass. The only complaint-the hostess wanted to seat us in a terrible location -booth by all the traffic-and the restaurant was not half full. We asked for a table by the window and was given the option to do so. I find this with other restaurants-when dining with women they tend to try and seat women in the least favorable place.Special Features:
- RushedRoobyDined on 10/28/2014Dinner was rushed. This restaurant should be an experience in itself - the food, wine, service. Not get 'em in and get 'em out like a casual dining restaurant.Special Features:
- Top notchMamboKatDined on 10/26/2014Ocean Prime is the restaurant for a complete dining experience. Everyone was extremely attentive and friendly. Food to die for, each course was absolutely delicious! Top of my list for Denver's best restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Seafood, Steakhouse AmbianceReedelVIPDined on 10/18/2014Excellent seafood prepared perfectly with the ambiance and service expected in the finest steakhouse. The wedge salad was one of the best we've had. The jalapeno au gratin potatoes were delicious. The salmon with lobster gnocchi was outstanding and the crab cakes were very good, although the accompanying sweet corn cream slightly overpowered the succulent crab. The cocktail menu was creative and drinks well-prepared. The chocolate peanut-butter pie was sized for sharing and a perfect ending to the meal. Best decaf coffee I've had in ages! Service was impeccable from accommodating a special request for seating to attentive check-ins during the meal and ending with appropriate birthday attention. One of Denver's best dining options!Special Features:
- Awesome nightJmorriquaiDined on 10/17/2014This was walking distance from our hotel, when we arrived the place was packed, but we were seated right away, the service was awesome, our waitress was funny and very knowledgeable. Also the wine list was amazing. The food was delicious, you definitely paid for it, but both of our steaks were cooked to perfection but the sides, sauces and dessert was all awesome. Would definitely recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing SeafoodPamSDined on 10/15/2014We all had the halibut lunch special and it was worth it! By far some of the best cook fish I have had in a long time. Perfect lunch portion.Special Features:
- Great service and incredible food!KrspilzDined on 10/12/2014My husband and i dined here for our first anniversary (he proposed here). When I made the reservation on open table I noted it was our anniversary. When we got there, they greeted us with complimentary glasses of champagne. The "Sunday dinner" was outstanding...great lobster bisque and delicious stuffed lobster. We had a crab cake appetizer which was wonderful. Everyone was so nice, wishing us a happy anniversary. They even comped the dessert! We had a table by the window with a great view of denver.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Glad it is not my first visit to OPOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/9/2014We recently went to OP in Denver to celebrate and old friends visit and had a great view upstairs looking down to Larimer Street. As usual, the service was fantastic and we were well taken care of. The problem was the food freshness but if this was my first visit, I would not return. Our friend had a beautiful big steak and it was spot on as far as he was concerned. My wife had the Sea Bass an all-time favorite due to its buttery texture and rich flavor and she stated that it was quite fishy. I sampled and thought the same. I had a Salmon dish topped with Lobster and the lobster tasted like the gutter. The salmon was quite tasty. The bread is/was fantastic! The wait staff always attentive but not bothersome.Special Features:

LaToya Cantrell wins runoff for District B seat
Updated On: Dec 09 2012 12:00:00 AM CST
After what was expected to be a low turnout, voters decided Saturday on LaToya Cantrell to succeed Stacy Head in the race for the New Orleans City Council District B seat.
Dana Kaplan faced LaToya Cantrell for Councilwoman-At-Large Stacy Head's former seat, which had been held by an interim council member.
Head had publicly endorsed Cantrell but did not do so until after the Nov. 6 election.
Kaplan, a juvenile justice organizer, was endorsed by New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin Gusman and U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans.

|Manhattanville Professor Named Outstanding First-Year Student Advocate
Associate Professor of History Colin Morris has been selected as one of the Outstanding First-Year Advocates by the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition at the University of South Carolina.
"I was completely surprised and very pleased to hear the news of my selection for this honor!" Morris said.
His work with first year students includes teaching freshmen seminar courses each semester, serving as director of curricular for the First Year Program, and as assistant to the Provost for Foundational Programs in 2010-11. He also worked as campus liaison and director of the Campus's Foundations of Excellence self-study of the first-year experience at Manhattanville, a year-long project that was completed in 2010-11.
Many of the recommendations from that project have been successfully implemented at the College and have played a key part in retention of first year students, Provost Gail Simmons said. "What makes him stand out is that his work goes well beyond helping individual students. He passionately works with faculty and staff to move Manhattanville forward in how it helps first year students."
He is one of 10 educators who received the award in 2014, and was chosen from a group of 97 individuals. Each year the organization invites college presidents or their appointed representatives to nominate individuals who are enhancing the first-year experience on their campuses. This is the 25th year the award has been given out.
The Advocates are chosen by the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition at the University of South Carolina and Cengage Learning. The organizations choose two educators each from the following categories: two-year colleges, four-year colleges and universities with less than 2,000 students, four-year colleges and universities with 2,000 to 7,000 students, four-year colleges and universities with 7,001 to 15,000 students, and four-year colleges with more than 15,000 students.
Morris and the other 2014 Advocates were honored at the 33rd Annual Conference on The First-Year Experience in San Diego, held in February. Learn more about why Morris and the other 2014 recipients were chosen here.
Morris currently serves as the chair of the History Department and director of the American Studies Program at Manhattanville College. He earned his B.A. in American Studies from the University of Manchester (U.K.) and his M.A. and Ph.D. in History from the University of Rochester.

MIDDLEBURY — The Kelly Brush Century Ride Powered by VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations drew more than 700 riders to its Sept. 6 ride and raised $320,000 for adaptive athletic equipment for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and to improve ski racing safety.

MIDDLEBURY — People visiting downtown Middlebury after Memorial Day are likely to wonder if they became Lilliputians overnight.
That's because five over-sized chairs will be set up at some conspicuous downtown spots, a scene that will make for some comical seating opportunities and photo ops.
MIDDLEBURY — The 15th annual "Face Off Against Breast Cancer" hockey tournament broke an all-time fundraising record this year, raising $75,000. That put the total amassed for the statewide Cancer Patient Support Program at more than $400,000 altogether over all 15 years.
Tournament was hosted by the Middlebury Otters and the Middlebury Mystix, two local women's community ice hockey teams, at the Memorial Sports Center in Middlebury on Jan. 25 and 26.
NEW HAVEN — For most children, typical summer activities include playing outside and trips to the town pool. But for two New Haven girls, summer vacation includes organizing a community fundraiser.
Sisters Emily and Kayley Tardie, age 11 and 7, respectively, have been hard at work planning a fundraiser scheduled to be held in the New Haven Town Hall on Aug. 25 from 7 to 9 p.m. The event, called "Just Dance," will feature a night of dancing, food and prizes for the whole family. All proceeds will benefit the Epilepsy Foundation of Vermont.
BRISTOL — Rainy weather on July 26 threatened the success of this year's Three Day Stampede, Bristol's annual major event to raise money to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, but the rain cleared up for the start of Friday's lawn sale and stayed clear through the weekend, allowing organizers to raise more than $100,000 to fight the disease.
Organizer Bonita Bedard said that amount was on par with 2011, and she was thrilled with this year's turnout, despite the worries about the weather.
MIDDLEBURY — Bristol-based artist Stephanie Larsen literally dreamed up a fundraiser to benefit local domestic violence awareness programs.
Larsen, a domestic abuse survivor herself, was asleep when she imagined how to generate some cash for the Addison County Council Against Domestic and Sexual Violence (ACCADSV). In her reverie, she saw a group of wonderfully painted lamps and shades illuminating a banner that stated, "Shine a light on domestic violence."
MIDDLEBURY — Mary Hogan Elementary School students are ready to reap the rewards of ID-4's first-ever Read-a-thon, which in November saw participants read a combined total of 431,677 minutes while raising thousands of dollars for education programs.
"We really do all feel that the first-ever Mary Hogan School Read-a-thon was already an amazing success," said Janet Lapiner, a lead organizer of the event. "The students read and read, and then read more ... and more. And that is the real prize."
MIDDLEBURY — More than 200 area residents laced up their sneakers and filled up sponsor sheets for what was a record-setting Addison County Crop Hunger Walk on Oct. 2, an event that raised $24,705 for programs to feed the hungry.
The 34th annual Crop Hunger Walk was organized by Addison County clergy and culminated in a 2.2-mile jaunt through Middlebury on what was a fairly chilly, rainy day.
ADDISON COUNTY — To the 150 animals squeezed into a space meant for 60 at the Addison County Humane Society, Wyatt Vincent is the cat's meow.
For more than a month, the Vergennes resident has busied his paws building massive hay-bale animals around Addison County to raise awareness for the humane society's "Homeward Bound Campaign."
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury residents have been able to count on certain fall rituals throughout the years. Those have included apple picking, raking leaves, stacking wood and an annual fund-raiser for Mary Hogan Elementary School student activities.

While Dilated Peoples have been on a bit of a hiatus over the last few years, Evidence ventures forth with his second solo LP, Cats & Dogs, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut, The Weatherman.
While a skilled producer in his own right, having handled most of the production duties for the Dilated catalog, Ev taps a team of talented producers to craft his latest LP, only lending his skills on the boards to two tracks. Regardless, the team has crafted a unified LP that almost sounds like the work of one producer. Ev has picked a brooding tone for the LP, one that follows him like a gray cloud, right from the onset of the album. The opening track, "Liner Notes" sets the stage, as Ev – backed by Aloe Blacc – exercises his trademarked slow-flow over a cinematic backdrop. This leads into the gorgeous Twiz the Beat Pro produced "Strangers", a hypnotic head nodder that infects with every bar. The very Cuban Linx-esque "The Red Carpet" taps Raekwon and Ras Kass for a brilliantly executed collabo, thanks to Alchemist's soulful beat.
As usual, Ev finds another clever "Evidence" vocal sample, as used on "It Wasn't Me", which finds him recalling rap crimes, while a vintage classic rock sample suggests the feds don't have enough "evidence" to convict. The album actually digs into rock samples quite often, as on the folky "I Don't Need Love", produced by Ev himself, and later on the posse cut "Late For the Sky", featuring Aesop Rock and Slug. Speaking of posse cuts, while the addition of Rakaa to bounce off Ev every other verse is missed, there's no shortage of guest shots on the album to keep things rounded out. The heavy "Fame" keeps upping the ante with added support from Roc Marciano and Prodigy of Mobb Deep, while the icy-cold "Where You From" chills with Lil Fame, Termanology, and, of course, Rakaa. A preview of the upcoming Step Brothers project with Alchemist whets the appetite on "James Hendrix".
Definitely a different flavor than we're used to on a standard Dilated LP, Ev's second solo effort is anything but sunny. The album has a cold, damp, menacing feel to it, this coming from a Weatherman that makes it rain lyrics, not dollar bills. Definitely a lengthy LP at 17 tracks (plus three Itunes bonus cuts), some might find Ev's latest to be a little too dreary, but what do you expect from an LP called Cats & Dogs?
Better than the Weathermam LP…which was a classic.
This album in my opinion is one of the top releases of the year. The "too dreary" criticism of the album is definitely a cop-out. Thematically, the album is consistent with great lyrics, great beats, and great collabos. I'm going 4.5 on this one.
I agree that the album is a bit long, but I can't name any "throwaway" tracks that don't belong here. Tough to fault an LP for having too many dope tracks.
All that being said, I think 4 sounds about right. Every song on here is dope, but nothing is groundbreaking.
Also, how do you review this album without mentioning the Premo produced "You"? Easily one of the highlights of the LP.
Love this record…filled with bangers. He's the weatherman, and the title is Cats and Dogs…isn't it supposed to be dreary?? If this is only a 4, wonder what they'll rate Phonte's record.

While emotional wounding mostly occur within relationships, healthy relationships provide the ideal context for healing and growth. When couples enter relationship counseling they tend to work together, and hence, come closer. They can talk openly and the presence of a third person also helps avoid unnecessary arguments. Therapy can provide new insights, new tools and new experiences in order to make sense of relationships in a refreshingly different way.
Family and couples counseling are signs of personal willingness to approach issues and find solutions. For clients using a managed care insurance, often "evidenced based treatment" is required. This is a structured learning approach that focuses a lot on communication and listening skills. Here, we must undo some old habits and form, some new ones. For private pay clients, this can take on either a structured approach or a narrative approach. Both approaches work well but the first emphasizes more teaching and new learning.
Upon first meeting couples, I find that many individuals have lost sight of their own needs which contributes to suffering. Learning to connect again includes the discovery of individual interests and needs. Couples learn to thrive and reignite passion when they have space to share the things that make them uniquely individual and then together the "couplehood" is grown. Do you know who you are individually? This is a first step during couple's therapy with me. Next, we move into building the listening and communicating skills. This stage can actually be lots of fun: Imagine meeting the person next to you and seeing them in a completely different light? Without the anger and hurt.
I love working with couples! So often couples come to counseling "just this side of too late". It is such an incredible joy to help a couple on the brink of despair or dissolution come back to a place of working together as a team. Even better is working with a couple, that although is working well, wants their relationship to work even better. Relationships, like it or not, are like a pool, if you do not take care of them, you will not like what you see growing in there!
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have many years experience working with couples (married, unmarried, LGBT) and the following couples issues: trust, infidelity, high conflict, intimacy issues, financial abuse, emotional/psychological abuse, spiritual/religious differences, cultural differences, parenting issues, extended and blended family issues, and communication. If you and your partner both want to share a more fulfilling, satisfying relationship, give yourselves the opportunity to reestablish your connection in couples counseling.
You are unhappy in your relationship and would really like there to be a change. You are frustrated with your relationship and do not know what to do anymore. There is hope and help for your problem. So many marriages end in divorce and committed relationships end.
I have been a counselor for over 20 years and I have worked with many couple who were struggling and did not know what to do. Give your relationship a chance to get better. Give me a call to schedule an appointment now.

Has this ever happened to you? You sit down to watch TV but cannot find the remote control, you need to go somewhere but cannot find the keys, you need to make a call but cannot find your phone. You proceed to dig under couch cushions, examine the pockets of recently worn clothes, or use a different phone to call your cell phone. After a diligent and exasperating search, you find what you lost but it in a place where you least expected. A couple living in Rockbridge County in the 1880's experienced a similar scenario. In their case, they needed the court's assistance to find the missing item. Their search can be read in Rockbridge County Chancery Cause 1887-038, Petition of William F. Pierson and wife.
Charles J. Brawley departed this life on 10 June 1886 and was buried in a cemetery in Collierstown, Virginia. After the funeral, it came time to divide up Brawley's vast estate among his beneficiaries. But there was a problem—no one knew where Brawley's last will and testament was. Acquaintances and family members of Brawley had little doubt that he had written one. They had conversations with Brawley prior to his death that led them to believe he had written his will. One gentleman said that Brawley had named his son-in-law, William F. Pierson, the executor of … read more »
In court documents from Lunenburg County Chancery Cause 1856-042, the petition of Araminta Frances reveals an interesting and life-changing request. On 10 March 1856 Araminta Frances, a free woman of color, petitioned the court asking to be enslaved.
Araminta was once the slave (along with at least two others) of James G. Richardson. Richardson's last will and testament, probated 9 December 1850, left the majority of his estate, including finances, property, and slaves, to his daughter, Sarah A. Richardson, two nephews, and friend John L. Coleman. The provisions for the slaves were clearly spelled out. One negro male slave, Cezar, was to go to James G. Richardson's nephew, James R. Walker, and John L. Coleman "to be taken care of by them and to be paid to him [Cezar] yearly by them the full amount of his yearly value." Richardson also stipulated that "my negro child Virginia and Minty's [presumably Araminta] child yet unborn" should be emancipated and receive the sum of $500 each or $1,000 if his daughter Sarah should die without issue. Minty (or Araminta) would be emancipated should his daughter, Sarah, die without having married. A copy of James G. Richardson's will was included with the petition as supporting documentation for Araminta's case.
Also included in the case was a bill passed by the General Assembly on 20 December 1855 allowing Araminta … read more »
The Library of Virginia's Local Records Services branch, in partnership with the Montgomery County Circuit Court Clerk, was recently awarded a 2-year grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) to support the processing of the Montgomery County Circuit Court Records Collection, 1777-1912. The grant provides for the processing and indexing of the Montgomery County Chancery Causes with an eye toward future digitization as well as the creation of electronic finding aids for the remaining loose historical court records found in the clerk's office in Christiansburg. The project will utilize a new strategy for the LVA in that all work will be completed by professional archivists in the clerk's office rather than at the Archives in Richmond.
The NHPRC recognized the national significance of the Montgomery County court records as the county was ideally situated on routes west to experience the travel and migration of people seeking opportunity, land, and adventure in the West. These court records also illuminate the lives of numerous under-documented populations and have national significance for researchers interested in the African American experience, women's history, westward migration, and southern labor and business history in the antebellum and post-Civil War periods.
In their current state, the Montgomery County chancery records are only known and utilized by a select few historians and humanities researchers. When completed the Montgomery County Chancery Causes … read more »
The Library of Virginia is pleased to announce the addition of Scott County and Washington County to the cohabitation register digitization project. This project, via the Virginia Memory website, aims to index, digitize, transcribe, and provide access to all known Virginia cohabitation registers and the related registers of children whose parents had ceased to cohabit. The Scott and Washington registers are cohabitation registers only. To date, their registers of children have not come to light.
Cohabitation registers are among the most important genealogical resources for African-Americans attempting to connect their family lines back through the oftentimes murky past to their enslaved ancestors. The registers date from 1866 and provide a snapshot in time for the individuals recorded therein and a wealth of information that may otherwise be impossible, or at least very difficult, to uncover. Cohabitation registers were the legal vehicles by which former slaves legitimized both their marriages and their children. The information about an individual person contained in a cohabitation register is literally priceless as it is often the first time that a former slave appeared officially in the public record and because of the extensive kinds of information that the register recorded.
The registers, transcriptions, and searchable index are available online along with the other registers from Virginia localities in the Cohabitation Register Digital Collection in Virginia Memory. To find it … read more »
As the Commonwealth of Virginia's archives and library, the Library of Virginia provides a wide variety of services to local public libraries and government agencies across the state. For example, the Library's Local Records Services Branch and Circuit Court Records Preservation Program (CCRP), actively work with the commonwealth's 120 circuit court clerks to help preserve their permanent records. Coordinating CCRP activities statewide necessitates a great deal of time on the road, and staff maintain a very ambitious travel schedule along with the projects that take place in Richmond. Often, we will receive a phone call or email from a clerk seeking advice on preservation grants, transferring records to the archives, or how best to preserve certain records in their office.
Recently we were contacted by Lancaster County Circuit Court Clerk Diane Mumford, who had discovered some old records as she unpacked boxes that had been moved from her old office to the new county Judicial Center. Mumford recognized the age and significance of the documents and contacted the LVA for guidance on caring for the documents and what steps she should take to preserve them. Little excites an archivist (or a researcher for that matter!) more than the discovery of a group of old documents promising new information and avenues for research.
We quickly agreed on a date for us to visit and were pleased … read more »
The Library of Virginia, in partnership with the Rockingham County Circuit Court Clerk's Office, is pleased to announce that the indexing and digitization of Rockingham County's historic chancery causes is now complete and available online through the Chancery Records Index on the LVA's Virginia Memory site.
The RockinghamCounty chancery collection covers the years 1781 to 1913 and are a valuable source of local, state, social, and legal history. They often contain correspondence; property lists: including slaves; lists of heirs; and vital statistics that reveal detailed stories that help tell the story of Virginia. Cases contain useful biographical, genealogical, and historical information and document a broad spectrum of citizens—rich and poor, black and white, slave and free. (See this earlier blog post for a description of interesting suits covering the issue of slavery found in the chancery causes for the years 1781-1893.)
In addition, the economic boom of the 1880s, and subsequent bust that followed the Panic of 1893, plays out in the chancery causes. Suits 1903-128 and 1909-088 contain prospectuses laying out the grand plans of two land improvement companies that became casualties of that financial downturn. The schemes for new towns, grand hotels, and railroad lines in RockinghamCounty and other parts of the Valley collapsed along with the railroad and banking industries of the U. S., and the creditors and shareholders of the … read more »
Virginia's agricultural production, as well as its economy, was dominated by tobacco for over three centuries, ever since John Rolfe sent his first shipment of tobacco to England in 1614. Growth of the Virginia colony and extension into the interior meant more soil and larger crops of tobacco. Despite the continuous growth in production, the tobacco trade was plagued by falling prices and decreased quality. By the 1720s, tobacco exports included large quantities of inferior product that even included shipments of "trash" tobacco—shipments that diluted tobacco leaves with foreign substances such as household sweepings. Consequently the price of tobacco sank so low that many planters struggled to recover production costs.
In 1723 Virginia's General Assembly passed the first of its Tobacco Acts that attempted to control the quantity and quality of tobacco grown in the colony because it was believed that "most of the ffrauds [sic] and mischiefs which have been complained of in the Tobacco Trade" had arisen from the "planting on land not proper for producing good Tobacco" and the production of "greater Crops than the persons employed therein are able duly to tend." The 1723 act established limits on the number of plants that certain classes of persons could grow with slave owners being allowed fewer plants. Each vestry of every parish had to appoint two people every year to count the … read more »
While examining the James City County/Williamsburg court records recently, I came across a civil suit titled Gatewood vs. Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company that contained two oversize exhibits. The first was a plat, which is not unusual since plats are commonly found in court records; however, the second oversize exhibit was unusual. It was an illustration of the engine boiler of a steam locomotive. The sketch included numerous tiny arrows showing the direction of air flow in the boiler. The exhibit piqued my curiosity so I read the suit to determine its purpose.
The plaintiff, R. E. Gatewood, filed a civil suit against the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company in James City County Circuit Court on 3 November 1884. In his statement to the court, Gatewood blamed C&O Railway for a fire that caused extensive damage to his property on 14 October 1884. Greenwood claimed that a C&O steam locomotive passing through his property did not have a spark arrestor or, if it did, the spark arrestor was not working properly. (A spark arrestor was a wire netting designed to prevent sparks or other tiny flaming debris from escaping the locomotive's "balloon stack.") As a result of the "careless negligence" of the defendant, the plaintiff's property was set on fire by sparks emitted from the steam locomotive. Valuable timber including oak, chestnut, walnut, and pine … read more »
On 17 April 1875, Anna Williams of 313 Canal Street in Richmond heard a noise and went outside to investigate only to discover a plank pulled off of her hen house and a man "breaking chicken necks." Emmet W. Ruffin, a neighbor enlisted to assist her, later testified as to what happened next., "I jumped back and drew my knife and waited for him to come out…. Just then the man jumped out of the chicken house and threw a handful of sand or dirt in my eyes…. As soon as I got the sand out of my eyes, I went after him… and struck him with the knife as he was going over the fence." The thief dropped some of the chickens inside the yard, but Ruffin continued to follow him. Shortly, a chase ensued, with people joining in and crying "murder" and "thief." Some members of the group began throwing stones. One struck the thief on the side of his head knocking him to the ground. The chicken thief, later identified as Robert Bland, never got back up.
The Richmond coroner's statement reveals that the chicken thief came to his death from a stab wound, inflicted by Emmet W. Ruffin, received while engaged in stealing chickens. The jury was of the opinion that Ruffin "[deserved] the thanks of the community for his action … read more »
While watching the February 2012 episode of NBC's Who Do You Think You Are? featuring actor and Petersburg native Blair Underwood investigating his family history, Library of Virginia staff could not help but notice that one of the original volumes displayed on the show was not in great shape. The Amherst County Register of Free Negroes, 1822-1864, was used on the show to prove that one of Underwood's ancestors had been a free person prior to the Civil War. The front and back covers of the volume had become detached from the spine, pages were loose, and overall it did not look like the book could withstand much handling without sustaining further damage to its fragile pages. This led to a reevaluation of the existing conservation priority for the 30 free Negro registers in the Library's holdings. Previously it was thought that since all of the free Negro registers were microfilmed, the original volumes would not be handled by the public any longer, thus conservation money would be better spent on other items. However, the resurgence of interest in African American genealogy, the sesquicentennial of the Civil War and related issues, and interest in the registers for display in exhibits clearly indicated that a change was necessary. A conservation inventory was done for all of the volumes and the ones that require treatment will … read more »

Jazz Saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa Completes Music Residency
: Photo by Courtesy of the artist..
Jazz saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa completed his four-month teaching and performance residency at Cornish College of the Arts this past week with a special performance featuring Mahanthappa and a handpicked ensemble of Cornish music students on Saturday, April 7, 2012 as part of the Cornish Music Series. Listen to part of the concert here.
Cornish music students Jason Cairati, piano, Matt Williams, guitar, Ken Strong, bass, Kyle Doran, drums, and Michael Conklin, tenor saxophone, were fortunate to have worked with Mahanthappa since January learning the alto saxophonist's compositions, an experience that culminated this past Saturday night with a 90-minute set performed before a large and enthusiastic audience at Cornish's PONCHO Concert Hall.
Mahanthappa joins a long and distinguished list of jazz artists who have served as faculty members and visiting artists-in-residence at Cornish over the years, a list that includes such jazz luminaries as Carla Bley, Anthony Braxton, Jay Clayton, Gil Evans, Dave Holland, Art Lande, Nguyên Lê, Butch Morris, Gary Peacock, and Julian Priester, among others.
About Rudresh Mahanthappa
Guggenheim fellow and 2011 Downbeat International Critics Poll "Alto Saxophonist of the Year," Rudresh Mahanthappa is one of the most innovative composers and performers in jazz today, fusing the musical culture of his Indian ancestry and jazz with myriad other influences to create a groundbreaking artistic vision.
Mahanthappa leads/co-leads several groups including his award winning quartet, the Indo-Pak Coalition with guitarist Rez Abassi (guitar) and Dan Weiss (tabla) and the critically-acclaimed project, Kinsmen, featuring Carnatic saxophone legend, Kadri Golpalnath. His 2010 release, Apex, highlighted the highly influential alto-sax master Bunky Green, which Time Out Chicago called "a force, blowing with ferocious power, clarity and creativity." Mahanthappa's latest release, Samdhi, featuring an electro-acoustic quintet comprising David Gilmore (guitar), Rich Brown (bass), Damion Reid (drums), and "Anand" Anantha Krishnan (Mirdangam / Kanjira), named by several publications as one of the top jazz releases of 2011.
As a saxophonist, Mahanthappa has achieved international recognition performing regularly at jazz festivals and clubs worldwide. As a composer, he has received commission grants from the Rockefeller Foundation MAP Fund, American Composers Forum, Chamber Music America, and the New York State Council on the Arts to develop new work. Mahanthappa holds a Bachelors of Music Degree in jazz performance from Berklee College of Music and a Masters of Music degree in jazz composition from Chicago's DePaul University.

The Week in Germany: Cool Street Art, American Christmas Markets, Thwarting Neo-Nazis, and Protesting in Berlin
Find a German Christmas Market in the United States.
Germany.info has compiled a list.
The best street art I've seen in a while.
While I like stencils and murals and the like, these tongue-in-cheek stickers are my favorite kind of street art. To be seen in Frankfurt right now, apparently.
Berliners gather to protest the loss of their green spaces.
And Der Irische Berliner is here to tell you how it went.
Neo-Nazis thwarted by chartiy walk.
What a great idea for a counter protest. Almost as good as the same group's previous "trojan tshirt", a shirt that has a neo-Nazi slogan on it that washed out to show an anti-neo-Nazi slogan. Ba-da-bing!
