Resist the temptation to ask for a knife and fork. When you eat Ethiopian-style, the spongy flatbread called injera serves as both your plate and your eating utensil. You pull off a chunk of bread and wrap it around the food, turning everything into an injera taco. There's even Ethiopian salsa, not that you need it -- the food at Blue Nile is all incredibly hot. Green beans, potatoes and carrots in a spicy sauce are a favorite vegetable combination, as are the lentil stews. Other standouts include the lamb cubes with onions and peppers and a lamb in a turmeric-heavy sauce. It's easy to share dishes here. All of your orders are combined on one big platter set in the middle of the table and everybody digs in. The atmosphere is pleasantly unusual. Try the Ethiopian honey wine.

simply-summit wrap-up
27 April, 2012 - 14:05
Over 100 communicators gathered at Prospero House in London to hear some of the top speakers in internal communication.
John Smythe kicked off the knowledge-soaked day describing the new roles for communicators when it comes to engagement. Among the tasks: challenging top-down decision making "which must end in telling and selling."
According to Smythe, there are three ingredients of effective engagement: a person's decision-making process skills, presence and language of which he noted, "words are the key to the soul." He also stressed that communicators need to shift from fact-based communication to emotions in order to properly engage.
Euan Semple followed Smythe with a presentation mirroring the wisdom in his new book, Organizations Don't Tweet, People Do. "Let's get technology out of the way. Don't expect it to do the work for you." However, he pointed out the fear many leaders face when it comes to adopting social media and new technologies.
During his presentation, Semple quoted David Weinberger's insight, stating, "Conversations can only happen between equals." In other words, it's up to management to take an interest in their staff in order to influence and engage them.
Other speakers included Ian Andersen of the European Commission who described the use of social media to connect interpreters throughout Europe. The community-building case study was followed by an interesting presentation by Christoph Ruedt, who described UBS' information security communications campaign.
According to Ruedt, it's critical to make your employees "the solution, not the problem." Among the ways UBS engaged staff around information security was via interactive quizzes that tested their knowledge about the topic as well as posters and artwork (posed for by employees) with catchy headlines such as, "The thing we all need to know is that we don't all need to know."
Having a voice
Jeppe Glahn, Director of Corporate Communications for Novozymes in Denmark, encouraged attendees to "stand their ground, challenge back and make a difference" in a session delegates described as "engaging, funny and smart." Glahn discussed his company's VOICE concept which included a strategic tool "to relate all communications to the business", as well as a tool to map out key focus areas, and an implementation tool "to strengthen Novozymes' communications."
Mark Comerford presented an equally lively presentation which highlighted the changing nature of communications and the need for sharing. "It's the most adaptive to change that will survive. Not the strongest."
Comerford took part in the summit's social media panel chaired by Marc Wright. Other panelists included Mike Grafham from Yammer, intranet pioneer, Mark Morrell, O2's Mark Allotey and Arabspring blogger, Jasmine Elnadeem. The panel was also drawn live by Creative Connection's "Visual Minutes" team, who were sponsors of the summit.
Other sponsors of the event were Media Powerhouse who supplied all the staging and equipment both for the summit and for the IABC EMErald Awards in the evening. Snapcomms sponsored the conference for the second time - reinforcing their importance in the European market as an invaluable tool for internal communicators. And Chris Elmitt and his team from Crystal Interactive played their part in making it a truly social event through their talkbalk channels and premiering their PowerPoint Push technology that allowed delegates to see all the slide material on iPads at their tables.
Changing the way you communicate
Jim Ylisela and Steve Crescenzo then took the stage outlining the 7 Deadly Sins of Communicators, as well as success stories of U.S. clients who were able to completely transform their internal communications – from snappier headlines to engaging videos filmed by employees.
Standard Chartered's Julie Bellham and Keith Porter closed out the day with a truly inspiring case study for communicators wishing to revamp their internal communication channels. Bellham and Porter were refreshingly candid, admitting mistakes made along the way while offering insight on what worked and didn't work in their approach.
Then it was time for networking and the gala dinner where the IABC EMErald Awards were presented to winners including Rodney Jordan at Coca-Cola Enterprises (UK) for Multi-audience Communication and Employee/Member Communication. Slovenia was a particularly big winner with awards in multiple categories. A complete list of winners can be found at http://storify.com/iabceme/emeralds-award-gala-simplysummit-2012.

Battle Royale
First edition cover, as published by Ohta Shuppan.

Battle Royale (バトル・ロワイアル Batoru Rowaiaru?) is a novel by Japanese writer Koushun Takami. Originally completed in 1996, it was not published until 1999. The story tells of junior high school students who are forced to fight each other to the death in a program run by the authoritarian Japanese government, now known as the Republic of Greater East Asia.
It was previously entered into the 1997 Japan Grand Prix Horror Novel competition but was eventually rejected in the final round due to its content. The novel became a surprise bestseller. It was ranked fourth by the 2000 Kono Mystery ga Sugoi!, an annual mystery and thriller guidebook, and sold over a million copies.
In 2000, one year after publication, Battle Royale was adapted into a manga series, written by Takami himself, and a feature film. The film was also controversial and successful, with it being condemned by Japan's National Diet, yet becoming one of the country's highest-grossing films. The film spawned a sequel, and two more brief manga adaptations were also created. The novel itself has been translated into Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Norwegian and Hungarian.
Battle Royale takes place in a fictional police state version of Japan known as the Republic of Greater East Asia (大東亜共和国 Dai Tōa Kyōwakoku). From time to time, fifty randomly selected classes of secondary school students are forced to take arms against one another until only one student in each class remains. The program was created, supposedly, as a form of military research, with the outcome of each battle is publicized on local television. A character discovers that the program is not an experiment at all, but a means of terrorizing the population. In theory, after seeing such atrocities, the people will become paranoid and divided, preventing another rebellion.
Under the guise of a "study trip", a group of students from Shiroiwa Junior High School (城岩中学校 Shiroiwa Chūgakkō), a junior high school operated by the fictional Kagawa Prefecture town of Shiroiwa, are corralled onto a bus and gassed, only to awaken in a school on an isolated, vacated island, wearing metal collars around their necks. After being briefed about the program, the students are issued survival packs and a random weapon or a tool, and sent out onto the island one by one. While most of the students receive guns and knives, some students acquire relatively useless items like boomerangs, dartboard darts, or a fork. In some cases, instead of a weapon, the student receives a tool. Hiroki Sugimura finds a radar device that tracks nearby students, and Toshinori Oda receives a bulletproof vest.
To make sure the students obey the rules and kill each other, the metal collars around their necks track their positions, and will explode if they linger in a "Forbidden Zone" or attempt to remove the collars. The Forbidden Zones are randomly chosen areas of the map that increase in number as time goes on, re-sculpting and shrinking the battlefield and forcing the students to move around. The collars secretly transmit sound back to the organizers of the game, allowing them to hear the students' conversations, root out escape plans, and log their activities. The students are also given a time limit. If no one is killed in three days, all of the collars will be detonated simultaneously, and with no victor, an outcome that occurs in 0.5% of programs.
In the end, only four students remain: Shuya Nanahara, Noriko Nakagawa, Shogo Kawada, and antagonist Kazuo Kiriyama. There is a car chase and shootout between the three main characters and Kazuo is killed. Shogo fakes Shuya and Noriko's deaths and boards a ship with the soldiers and Sakamochi. When Sakamochi reveals that Shuya and Noriko are alive and attempts to execute Shogo, Shogo kills him. Shuya and Noriko board the ship and kill the soldiers on board and meet up with Shogo, who succumbs to his own wounds and dies. Heeding Shogo's advice to "show no mercy," Shuya and Noriko escape to the mainland, where they become fugitives.

Background and publication[edit]
Koushun Takami completed Battle Royale when he stopped working as a journalist in 1996. The story was rejected in the final round of the 1997 Japan Grand Prix Horror Novel competition, due to its controversial content. It was first published in April 1999 by Ohta Publishing.[1] In August 2002, it was released in a revised, two-part pocket edition by Gentosha.[2][3]
Takami describes the characters as possibly all being "kind of alike", being "all the same" despite differing appearances and hobbies, and being static characters. Takami used these descriptions in contrast to the manga adaptation he wrote, with Masayuki Taguchi illustrating, which he believes has a more diverse and well-developed cast.[4]
In 2001, Kōji Ōnuma wrote Battle Royale: Kyokugenshinri Kaisekisho (バトル・ロワイアル 極限心理解析書 Batoru Rowaiaru Kyokugenshinri Kaisekisho?, roughly "Battle Royale: Analysis of Extreme Psychology"), a dissertation that explores the themes of the book."[5]
Battle Royale was translated into English by Yuji Oniki and released in North America by Viz Media on February 26, 2003. An expanded edition with a revised English translation and an afterword by Takami was published on November 17, 2009 by Haikasoru, a division of Viz Media. This version also included an interview with the director of the book's film adaptation, Kinji Fukasaku. Viz released another new translation on April 1, 2014, under the title Battle Royale: Remastered.[6] They also published The Battle Royale Slam Book: Essays on the Cult Classic by Koushun Takami on the same day, which includes essays on the details of the novel and the controversies surrounding it as well as its adaptations written by science-fiction, horror, and thriller authors such as Brian Keene, John Skipp, and Catherynne M. Valente.[6]
A manga adaptation, written by Takami and illustrated by Masayuki Taguchi, was serialized in Akita Shoten's Young Champion Magazine from 2000 to 2005. It was collected into fifteen tankōbon volumes, and published in North America by Tokyopop from 2003 to 2006.
A second manga, Battle Royale II: Blitz Royale, ran in Young Champion Magazine from July 2003 to 2004. Written and illustrated by Hiroshi Tomizawa, this series ties-in with Fukasaku's second Battle Royale film, having no continuity with the original novel nor the first manga adaptation, and was collected into two tankōbon volumes.
In 2011, a two chapter spin-off manga titled Battle Royale: Angels' Border was drawn by Mioko Ohnishi and Youhei Oguma (each drawing one chapter). It focuses on the six girls who holed up in the lighthouse, was published in Young Champion Magazine and later combined into one tankōbon volume on January 20, 2012.[7] The single volume was published in North America by Viz Media on June 17, 2014.[8]
Feature films[edit]
Battle Royale was adapted into a 2000 feature film of the same name, directed by Kinji Fukasaku and written by his son Kenta Fukasaku. It was followed in 2003 by Battle Royale II: Requiem.
In June 2006, Variety reported that New Line Cinema, with producers Neil Moritz and Roy Lee, intended to produce a new American film adaptation of Battle Royale.[9] However, New Line never secured remake rights and after the Virginia Tech massacre in April 2007, Lee stated that prospects for the project had been "seriously shaken."[10] In 2012, Roy Lee stated a remake would no longer be possible due to the release of the film adaptation of The Hunger Games, which has been criticized for its similarities to Battle Royale, stating that "Audiences would see it as just a copy of Games — most of them wouldn't know that Battle Royale came first. It's unfair, but that's reality." However, he stated that he might return to the film in ten years to "develop a Battle Royale movie for the next generation."[11]
In 2012, the Sipat Lawin Ensemble and two other college theater groups in the Philippines, made an unofficial loose adaptation of the novel into a live-action performance called Battalia Royale, which had its debut at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Performances were also held at an abandoned high school in Quezon City.[12]
On July 26, 2012, the Los Angeles Times reported that The CW Television Network had been in discussions with Hollywood representatives about the possibility of turning Battle Royale into an American television show. According to a spokesperson, the talks were only preliminary, but if a deal could be reached, the network would acquire rights to Koushun Takami's novel, then expand on it for an hourlong dramatic series. Joyce Jun, a Hollywood attorney representing U.S. rights to the title, states that "there is no deal in place." A CW spokesman only confirmed there had been some discussion, declining to comment further.[13]
At the Television Critics Association winter press tour on January 13, 2013, CW president Marc Pedowitz stated "At this time, we're not planning to do anything with Battle Royale".[14] He clarified that the reports stemmed from one phone call he made to see if the rights to the book were available and also noted that his interest in the novel predated the 2012 Aurora shooting and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.[15]
Upon publication in 1999, Battle Royale became one of the best-selling novels in Japan.[16] The novel was earlier entered into the 1997 Japan Grand Prix Horror Novel competition, but was eventually rejected in the final round due to its controversial content. It was ranked fourth in the 2000 Kono Mystery ga Sugoi!, an annual guidebook that ranks mystery and thriller novels published the previous year.
It was also critically acclaimed abroad. In Entertainment Weekly, the writer Stephen King included it as one of the seven books in his 2005 summer reading list, after it was recommended to him by novelist Kelly Braffet (writer of Josie and Jack). King described Battle Royale as "an insanely entertaining pulp riff that combines Survivor with World Wrestling Entertainment. Or maybe Royale is just insane." He also notes that it has some similarities to his own novel The Long Walk. He concludes the brief review with a "No prob," as "Takami's Springsteen-quoting teenagers are fond of saying."[17]
The writer David N. Alderman, writing for the Red Room site, gave Battle Royale a score of 4½ out of 5 stars, stating that the "story itself is brilliant. Touted as being extremely controversial, especially for the time it was released, the book opens up all sorts of doors to conversations and thoughts about psychology, murder, survival, love, loyalty, and moral ground." While noting that those who "cringe at slash and hack" should "steer away from this" since "it is a bit gory," he states that it is "definitely worth the read" and concludes that it has "touches of romance, and definitely some great moral themes to spark off in-depth conversations with others."[18] Complete review gave the novel a B rating, describing it as "a perfectly fine thriller, with a fun premise, quite well drawn-out."[19] In The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society, Tom Good praises the novel, concluding that, as "a pulp-fiction horror tale, Battle Royale delivers plenty of thrills, action, suspense and fun."[20] On the Barnes & Noble site, the novel holds an average user rating of 5 out of 5 stars.[21]
Since its release, the novel and its film adaptation have had an influence on later works. These include filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino,[22][23] most notably his Kill Bill films;[24] the character Gogo Yubari, played by Chiaki Kuriyama, is similar to the character she plays in the Battle Royale film, Takako Chigusa.[25] V.A. Musetto of the New York Post also compared it to The Condemned, which the critic called "a bad rip-off" of Battle Royale as well as The Most Dangerous Game.[26] Critics have also noted the influence of Battle Royale on other later works, such as the 2008 film Kill Theory,[27] and the 2009 film The Tournament,[28] and have noted similarities with the novel and film franchise The Hunger Games.[29][30] Battle Royale has also been compared to the manga, anime and film franchise Gantz,[31] and the 2007 video game The World Ends with You.[32]
The 2008 American young adult novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins has been accused of being strikingly similar to Battle Royale in terms of the basic plot premise and the world within the book. While Collins maintains that she "had never heard of that book until her book was turned in", Susan Dominus of The New York Times reports that "the parallels are striking enough that Collins's work has been savaged on the blogosphere as a baldfaced ripoff," but argued that "there are enough possible sources for the plot line that the two authors might well have hit on the same basic setup independently."[33] The general consensus in the time since has been one of amicable controversy, especially since the release of the The Hunger Games film adaptation. Battle Royale author Takami said he appreciated fans "standing up" for his book, but stated that he thinks "every novel has something to offer," and that if "readers find value in either book, that's all an author can ask for."[34]
In Marvel Comics, the 2012 release of Avengers Arena, as part of the Marvel NOW! imprint, introducing the plot similar to the film itself, as also the comic's first issue covers bears homage to the film as the main characters posed in the same manner as the film's poster, including the comic's main logo bearing a similar design as the film's logo.
In video games, PLAYERUNKNOWN's Battle Royale mod for Bohemia Interactive's PC Game Arma 3, is based loosely on the geography and plot of the novel. The mod allows players to fight to the death in a "winner take all" deathmatch on an island similar to the one described in the book.[35]

Survival Item – Sewing Kit
Filed under
Survival Gear
Posted by: Robert Richardson
Nothing screams rough and tough survivalist guy like carrying a good old fashion manly sewing kit!
Alright, so that may be pushing it a little far.
In reality most people would probably laugh at the thought of a grown man carrying a sewing kit for survival. But who cares! Just because most people wouldn't think of packing one, doesn't mean you should overlook its importance.
In my opinion, having a sewing kit is an essential part of being prepared and has many uses out in the wilderness.
You Survival Sewing Kit:
To start with your kit should be able to:
- repair clothing
- fix a ripped tent or tarp
- mend backpacks and sleeping bags
- and in an emergency should be able to stitch up a wound.
A survival sewing kit is usually pretty small and often contains items that might not be in an ordinary run of the mill kit. For instance, instead of regular sewing thread, I like to pack dental floss or fishing line in my kit. The reason I do this, is because of its ability to used for more than just sewing.
Fishing line is a lot stronger than thread, and is a far better option when putting together a survival sewing kit.
Here are a couple of things that you may want to add to your survival sewing kit:
- Buttons
- Various Size Needles
- Thimble to push needles through heavy tarps or animal hides
- Self cutting Grommets for tarps and tents
- Duct Tape
- Thick rubber, plastic and canvas patches
- Small scissors
- Fishing line or floss

Our cricketers are handsomely paid and greatly recognized. Let us not have any grudge on that. But look at fate of our hockey players. When they go out to represent India in international matches they have to live in third rate hotels in appalling conditions. Even when they win big tournaments they do not get the proper recognition for that. Recently Indian hockey coach Mr. Carvalho had openly expressed his resentment to bring this to the notice of the authorities and the governments .Do you think better recognition and monitory rewards will motivate and inspire our hockey players to regain th
Answers (5)
if Hockey team is able to win the world cup or an Olympic gold i think that they will get more money and recognition than the cricket players .I was going through some old front news papers and the day India won the gold of Olympics each and every player had his snap and profile on the front pages of the newspaper .Something that our cricketrs are not able to do at present time too
But the downfall has got it's own reasons too .

November 27, 2014
Paramedic Kevin Romero has been a paramedic here in Reno for nearly ten years.
At about that time he decided he'd like to be a member of the newly formed TEMS Team.
The team has responded to more than one-hundred incidents including the standoff yesterday in Lemmon Valley. They train and work with local SWAT teams and go into the high risk areas...but they don't carry guns..
Instead they have emergency medical equipment on them to render aid to a suspect, SWAT team member, or anyone else on the scene.
And these days they have a new piece of equipment to help them get the job done - a sophisticated van
It is equipt with a military style litter that can be carried into the scene. It is also equipt with oxygen, regular and advanced life support gear. And something called a SKED an extrication device that can actually be airlifted or carry somebody up to a mile or two miles to get out of an area that is not secure to an area that is secure.
Romero calls yesterday's incident involving TEMS Team members and the three month old van a text book example of what the unit can do.
The van was pulled just to the side of the house, and was used as a break area for SWAT members a warm place to get water.
And then when the suspect shot himself, a TEMS member was able to render aid in 20-seconds.

New York Is Extremely Icy and Running Out of Salt
It seems like the entire month of January has been one long winter storm in New York. Wednesday's snowfall came with an added challenge, however: a shortage of salt for de-icing the roads and sidewalks. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who declared a state of emergency on Wednesday due to dangerous conditions resulting from the severe weather, confirmed in a statement that the salt shortage has affected not only New York City, but also other areas of the metropolitan area, including parts of Long Island.

Oceana presents striking images of the proliferation of jellyfish in Cabrera National Park, Balearic IslandsImportant concentrations of specimens from the Pelagia noctiluca species can be found in some areas of Cabrera Port, Cala Santa Maria and Cala Gandulf but also in other deeper areas of the Emile Baudot Bank, thirty miles south of Cabrera, one of the Balearic Islands.July, 2007
Oceana welcomes another step forward on the long road to eliminate illegal driftnets in the European UnionThe EU has agreed a new Regulation which introduces a driftnet definition into EU law. The Regulation's main effect should be to finally halt the use of illegal French driftnets, often called thonaille, which are used in the Mediterranean despite being banned since 2002.June, 2007
During May this year, Oceana documented the use of driftnets in the Tyrrhenian Sea in order to verify the effectiveness of the new "zero tolerance" policy of the Italian Minister of Fisheries, Paolo De Castro.June, 2007
Oceana criticises the failure of EU Fisheries Ministers to stamp down on illegal driftnet fishing in the MediterraneanOceana calls for urgent measures to be taken to halt this illegal and highly damaging fishing method and welcomes the intervention by the UK Fisheries Minister urging his European colleagues to take action.June, 2007

Being Songtaneous
This year, I returned to the 33rd annual Women & Spirituality Conference to lead two Songtaneous sessions. Due to my Between project (and life in general) I had been away from the conference for a couple of years. So while I was feeling excited to get into a room full of singers, I was feeling some nerves about facilitating and "making things work" for participants.
Sometimes it's not about you. *smile*
The two sessions I hosted were completely wonderful and entirely different from each other. Each one was so satisfying and while I think that I facilitated the sessions well, in the end the what happened during the sessions had less to do with me than it had to do with the intention and energy of the singers who showed up.
And, I mean showed up. With their nerves and their shyness about singing in front of others or their lack of experience or their singing trauma. They came in the room willing to sing and supported each other with such ease and joy. I have been taking a class in which we are discussing the power of intention and I could see it here. These women intended to share and connect and build community and we did.
My Saturday singers were energetic and a bit boisterous. In this group of 12-13 singers, we explored harmonizing and holding the rhythmic groove. Friends delighted and flat-out astonished each other with their inventions and ideas, especially when we worked with personal language. We invented music and I shared some of the songs from my Between shows this past winter and some newer songs with the group and they sang beautifully. We sang and laughed til tears came to our eyes and our time together flew by.
Sunday morning was a more intimate group – I sang with four other singers. With this smaller group I got to share more about my own journey with spontaneous singing and the life lessons it helps me discover. I talked about how we make up rules that don't exist and construct narratives that aren't necessarily true. How these rules and stories can make us feel stuck and incapable. During one exercises, one of the singers got stuck. We finished the round and then stopped to discuss briefly. When singing spontaneously, I always strive to talk through stuck before it becomes "failure."
I used the analogy of a closed door and talked about how we all have doors. Sometimes we know about the door, sometimes we see it looming in the distance and other times doors just … appear. I have learned through improvising that there are many workable and wonderful ways to approach a closed door. (And that the goal isn't always getting through the door. Sometimes it's what we learn about ourselves as we encounter a door.)
With both groups, I got to talk about how singing together is a model for community making. When we sing in a group, we have to hold our individual parts (identity) while blending with all the others in the ensemble (community).
I was moved when one of the women shared that, in singing with us, she learned why she came to the conference and to my Songtaneous workshop in particular. She shared how the song I had taught them inspired an idea for how she could work with her own poetry using melody, repetition and space. I again felt strongly the force that singing is for me and the wonder and wonders it continues to bring into my life.

K1 Speed Torrance – Challenge GP Indoor Kart Racing Results!
K1 Speed Blog - go karts, karting and go-kart race events
We reached the half-way point of our Challenge GP indoor kart racing league this weekend at K1 Speed Torrance in Los Angeles, California, and the event proved to be quite interesting! During Qualifying, the fast lap time was being set and reset by different drivers constantly, as everyone was very competitive right out of the gate; the result of this back-and-forth between the drivers were two separate fields with diverse and competitive starting grids. Though we had a familiar face take the pole position to start on the front row of our A-Main race, several drivers who are accustomed to competing in the A found themselves in the B-Main race instead, such was the closeness and relative equality of the field.

Product Description
Boasting one of most iconic designs in American coinage history, the Morgan Dollar 1 oz Silver round is the ideal addition to your portfolio. Each round measures 39mm in diameter and contains .999 fine silver.
Designer George T. Morgan recruited Anna Willess Williams to model for the original Morgan Silver Dollar in 1876. He sketched her profile through five sittings to portray a new Lady Liberty on the obverse of each coin. This round pays homage to Morgan's original creation and features an inscription of E PLURIBUS UNUM.
A heraldic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch is centered on the reverse. .999 FINE SILVER, ONE TROY OUNCE and IN GOD WE TRUST are inscribed.
The United States Mint manufactured the Morgan Dollar from 1878-1904, and again in 1921. It was the first silver dollar minted after the Coinage Act of 1873 seized all silver coining.
The Sherman Silver Purchase Act caused the Morgan to deplete in 1904, but the Pittman Act in 1918 authorized silver dollars to be melted and recoined and Morgans were produced for one more year in 1921. The Peace dollar replaced the design that same year.
Honor the Morgan Dollar's historic value and secure your 1 oz silver round from Provident Metals today.

Customer Reviews
- Beautiful productSalon 11/24/14
OverallThis is my 7th order of these beauties and every one of them is beautiful. Great price, beautiful coin, I want more...
- Great product!Jimmyon 11/3/14
Overallvery nice
- Again, buying moreDOUGon 10/3/14
OverallThese Rounds are by far the most beautiful Morgan's out there!!! Hope the price gets even lower Great finish , Great value, .Just stacking these babies up. Awesome Coins. Love them!
Shaun Get some of these soon.
- Stunning!Steve on 9/28/14
OverallIncluded in my last order was this Morgan Round. Simply beautiful! Perfect in every aspect, so bright and shiny I almost need sunglasses to look at it! When I buy Bullion, I look no further than Provident.
- Small flawTomon 9/18/14
OverallOverall these are great rounds, but a minor flaw was on every one of my 100. A small hair thin line can be seen on the obverse rim. Probably not noticeable to most, but it sticks outout to me since I know its there. Perhaps a die imperfection since all bear the same mark, same location. I prefer OPM rounds. Simple and shiny.
- Best quality of all the rounds I haveCharleson 9/16/14
OverallI ordered several tubes of these along with the Saint Gaudens, Standing Liberty And the OPM's.
The Morgans are by far the nicest finish of these 4 coins. They rank right up there with the ASE and Maples as far as no casting flash on the lip. They are not a polished mirror finish if that's what you are looking for, but a great looking coin in my opinion. The all came in nice 20 count plastic coin tubes. Thanks, Provident is great place to buy!
- NiceGregoryon 9/16/14
OverallJust received them yesterday, nice and clean..
- Good productfastmvron 9/3/14
OverallI just received my order of 100 of these beautiful Morgan replicas, and they were delivered in (5) plastic storage tubes of 20 coins each. As others have commented, the coins themselves are much more beautiful than the website representations. I will happily keep them as a precious metal or to give as gifts on certain occasions. Thanks Provident.
- wonderfulJustinon 9/3/14
OverallI purchased a roll of 20 of these, which is the perfect quantity because Provident throws in a free protective barrel. The morgan rounds I received are stunningly beautiful and unscratched. With that said there is no coin value, so you can't have them professionally graded. Nor can you spend them like money except with someone accepts silver for bartering.
The rounds also passed the magnet test which is an easy way to check your silver purchases for purity.
- First but definitely not lastJerryon 8/29/14
OverallThis was my first foray into the world of bullion, and I was a bit anxious. Provident had the best price on rounds, and one week after sending them payment, my Morgan's were in hand. Looking for long-term investment, I have little concern over the style I buy, as long as I get my ounce of silver, but I'm very pleased with the look and finish of these "coins", and more pleased with how easy Provident made the transaction. I'll be back.
- Silver RoundMichaelon 8/27/14
OverallI recently ordered 10 silver coins, and not only was the shipping fast, but the quality of the coin exceeded my expectations! They all came in individual plastic packages for protection, and they all have their own individual characteristics that make them all look beautiful. Thank you very much and will be ordering more VERY soon!
- Absolutely AwesomeAmandaon 7/19/14
OverallOf the turn of the century replica silver rounds I own this is one of the best. Add to that 3 days from the time I placed my order to sitting in my hand, tremendous. Thank you Provident.
- ONE OF A KINDAnthonyon 7/14/14
OverallThese Morgans can't compare when looking at them on the Provident website to real life, they are so much better in person. When I received them I was shocked with the quality. This generic coin has a quality just about or close to a numismatic coin but a low premium price point. Im going to save as much as I can so I can grab a Monster Box of these babies.
- Beautiful replica A++BigL187on 6/27/14
OverallBeautiful awesome morgan dollar replica. This coin is the next best way to buy a morgan dollar other than a real morgan dollar.
- Superb QualityJDon 6/20/14
OverallI've bought morgan silver rounds from other dealers, but I have to say that this is by far the nicest and shiniest morgan silver round I've received. I definitely recommend buying generic silver rounds from Provident. I will be buying more.
- IN GOD WE TRUSTjohnon 6/11/14
OverallGREAT LOOKING COIN,IN GOD WE TRUST,LOVE IT
- great product & serviceraulon 6/9/14
OverallI got my Morgan Dollar silver rounds in on Saturday. They came in a day earlier than expected and boy do they look good. I knew from the website photos that it was a beautiful coin, but holding one in your hand in good light, wow are they something to behold. I know one day I will need to sell my silver, but these will be the last to go. Might have to keep a few just to remember and admire the coin.
- Excellent valueRONon 5/2/14
OverallI bought 3 rolls of these beauties several weeks ago. Excellent shine even better than last years GSM Morgans. Will buy more. Thanks Provident for your great values.
- SuperbBrentynon 4/13/14
OverallI have ordered the Morgan 1oz round a number of times from Provident Metals and I have yet to be let down!! This Morgan round by Provident Mint takes the cake!!! What a stunning round!!! By far one of my favorites. They did a superb job reproducing the Morgan round!! High quality silver! Amazing uncirculated condition!! You just can't go wrong with this round!! I highly recommend this round to anybody that like the Morgan dollar!!! Thanks Provident!!!
- EXCELLENT!!Richardon 4/3/14

OverallGot mine 6 days after ordering. Looks great feels great. Great value for a nice pristine coin, cant beat it with a stick! I look forward to getting more, good deal all around.
- Can't go wrong with a MorganJeremyon 2/27/12
OverallI love the original Morgan's and I have a few of them. Not anything rare or highly collectible but I got them because they are a nice addition, So when I saw these 1 oz. rounds I had to grab one up. Very nice piece!
- WOnderful first purchaseBill Don 10/14/11

- Great Looking RoundCurtison 12/27/10

theres nothing wrong with mbc or ebcs....i dont know who you've been talking to. I run the greddy pro spec ebc and its just fine. Turning the boost up without tuning won't be good for your car no matter how you do it...maybe thats why they frown on them? Id acually vouche for a boost controller if you upgrade your turbo...stock solenoid sucks.
Honestly if you have a laptop you can get a tactrix cable and a pre made tune cheaper than a lot of ebc. That will fix your boost and your tune all for about 140.00 including the cable which can be reused.

Palmiers Recipe
It takes just two ingredients to make these impressive but easy-to-do French pastries, which are often called palm leaves.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- Sprinkle a surface with 1/4 cup sugar; unfold puff pastry sheet on surface. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Roll into a 14-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar to within 1/2 in. of edges. Lightly press into pastry.
- With a knife, very lightly score a line widthwise across the middle of the pastry. Starting at one short side, roll up jelly-roll style, stopping at the score mark in the middle. Starting at the other side, roll up pastry jelly-roll style to score mark. Cut into 3/8-in. slices.
- Place cut side up 2 in. apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle lightly with 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Bake at 425° for 12 minutes. Turn pastries over and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake 5 minutes longer or until golden brown and glazed. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in airtight containers. Yield: About 2 dozen.

TransCanada says Keystone XL to be delayedBy ROB GILLIES
The Associated Press | April 27,2013TORONTO The chief executive of TransCanada Corp. said Friday the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline will be in service months later than expected and cost more as it continues to await U.S. government approval.
TransCanada had been sticking to its late 2014 or early 2015 start-up target, but the regulatory process has dragged on. It is now looking at a mid to late-2015 start-up.
CEO Russ Girling noted on a conference call with analysts detailing first quarter results that the controversial pipeline is in its 67th month of the approval process.
Unfortunately, continued delays ... have an impact on both our schedule and our costs. Based on our current assessment of timing of the permit we would currently anticipate the pipeline could become operational in the second half of 2015, Girling said.
The Calgary, Alberta-based company said the $5.3 billion cost estimate will increase depending on the timing of the permit.
The Obama administration is considering whether to approve the pipeline, which would carry 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta across six U.S. states to the Texas Gulf Coast. A decision is expected this summer.
The pipeline has become a flashpoint in the U.S. debate over climate change. Republicans and business and labor groups have urged the Obama administration to approve the pipeline as a source of much-needed jobs and a step toward North American energy independence. Environmental groups have been pressuring President Barack Obama to reject the pipeline, saying it would carry dirty oil that contributes to global warming. They also worry about a spill.
The project very much remains in the interest of the United States and we remain of confident that it will receive regulatory approval and be constructed, Girling said.
Obamas initial rejection of the pipeline last year went over badly in Canada, which relies on the U.S. for 97 percent of its energy exports.
The pipeline is critical to Canada, which needs infrastructure in place to export its growing oil sands production from northern Alberta. The region has the worlds third largest oil reserves, with 170 billion barrels of proven reserves.MORE IN National / World BusinessBRUSSELS European Union institutions are piling pressure on Google to change the way it...
