Unidentified artist, after Hans Holbein the Younger
German, c. 1497–1543
The Dead Christ in the Tomb, c. 1521
silverpoint, chalk on paper, blue ground
12.8 x 29.4 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from the Women's Committee and Public Subscription, in memory of the late United States President, John F. Kennedy
This powerful image of the dead Christ in the tomb, executed in silverpoint and chalk, is a faithful copy after the life-sized painting by Hans Holbein, which dates to 1521 and is in the Kunstmuseum Basel in Basel, Switzerland. While the creator of this drawing has not been identified, it is likely that the work was executed by an apprentice or assistant working in Holbein's workshop. The unforgiving silverpoint technique, used by many Old Master artists including Albrecht Dürer and Leonardo Da Vinci, demanded extraordinary skill and patience. The addition of a blue tinted ground in this drawing adds to the heightened contrast of light and shadow, offering the viewer a study of line, texture, and form, all referencing Holbein's masterly draftsmanship. Considered one of Holbein's most striking portraits, the presentation of the entombed body of Christ, rigor mortis set in and the flesh decaying, is intended to stress the miracle of the Resurrection and its imminence.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -In the literary world, it's not often that an author finishes her first children's book with publishers clamoring for it.It's even more rare for an author to possess the skill to write both a children's book in formal verse and to fully illustrate it in the rich, deep colors of alcohol inks.Still more rare is the advent of a publisher allowing authors to both write and illustrate their books, when editors generally create books by selecting the artist and the writer, and pairing the two.And the rarest of all is when a small press invests in bringing out a special hardback edition of such a first book, in addition to paperback copies, an edition already expected to become a collector's item.And yet that's just what has happened to Grand Junction poet and painter Wendy Videlock, whose third book, and first children's book, "The Dark Gnu," has just been issued by Able Muse Press.On Saturday, Feb. 2, the Western Colorado Writers' Forum will host the highly acclaimed author in a 4 p.m. reading of her new illustrated book of verse at SpringHill Suites, 236 Main St., in the Main Street Room.The reading is open to all; parents and families are especially welcome, and any child wearing any type of critter headband or hat will receive a prize. (Hint: Many, many critters live in the pages of "The Dark Gnu," from owls to rabbits to the great gnu himself, the beast). Reading $5 (free for children). Questions from all ages will follow the reading, followed by refreshments, meeting the author and book-signing.Videlock will also teach a writing workshop, 1:30-3:30 p.m., "What the Light Will Guess and the Dark Knows," for all levels of writers, at SpringHill Suites. The workshop ($50, and $45 for Forum members) includes a ticket to the reading. Videlock describes the workshop as one in which writers will "explore the many arresting rhythms, images, angels, daemons and archetypes which tug at our subconscious and invariably emerge in the name of childhood, dream, art, and poetry. We will discuss the stories, books, and poems which excited our imaginations when we were children, and move on to a variety of writing exercises. You don't need to wish to write children's poems to enjoy and learn from this class. All skill levels welcome. Bring a notebook, a pen, and an open mind." Videlock's visual art can be found at The Blue Pig, Raw Canvas, and Working Artist's Gallery. Her poems have appeared widely in national literary journals, most notably in Poetry, Quadrant, and The New York Times. She is a well-reviewed author of a recent poetry collection, "Nevertheless" and a book of poems, "What's That Supposed to Mean." Videlock describes The Dark Gnu as:An odd little boofor the drifters and dreamers,the tygers and sages, and the children of allinconceivable ages.For information, see www.westerncoloradowriters.org/events-classes/ or contact Destiny Breckenridge at 970-201-0303. Reading tickets will be available at the door at the SpringHill Suites. Tickets for the writing workshop (limited to 35) are available on a first-come, first-serve basis at Crystal Books, 439 Main St.

It worked for me
Posted by
My name is Tracy and I became a member after I clicked on an ad that popped up while I was online. I had been doing online dating for quite a while and was looking for something that wasn't such a waste of time. In fact, I thought it was another online site when I clicked the information button, but it was really different. The first big difference was that someone called to speak to me. I think her name was Karen, but she was very nice and took the time to ask me what I was looking for and to book an appointment. I work different shifts as a nurse, so this was not easy. I was a little nervous about having to go for an appointment, but I was curious about what they would do.
When I arrived for the appointment I had to wait for the representatives to finish with other clients so they gave me some forms to fill out and some personality test to do while I was waiting. After about 20 minutes, my interviewer started our meeting and was asking me all kinds of questions about my marriage and dating. This was a little nerve-racking, but she told me that the main reason for the interview was to screen and qualify people for membership and that one of the things they screened was emotional availability! I thought this was great because so many times I had met guys that just wanted casual dating or they were not done with their ex's. This interviewing went on for over an hour, but it was helpful. I didn't realize how easy it was to date the wrong kind of guy. I learned a lot and in the end decided I'd give it a try even though it was more money than I thought.
Right away I got a call from a matchmaker that wanted to review my file. I received my first match about 3 weeks after that and it was horrible! LOL. We didn't connect at all! I have 2 kids in their early teens and this man didn't have kids and couldn't understand the life. I also was not attracted. The next match was attractive, but no spark. I also think he wasn't in to me as well. Then I waited almost 6 weeks for a match and called Natasha to find out what was going on. We also adjusted my wish-list a little and Natasha gave me some feedback on the matching process. As it turns out, one of my matches wasn't available, so they were working on another. Long story short, this went on for almost 5 months until I was matched with Steven. Steven and I had a great first date and similar dating experiences. We didn't have a ton of hobbies in common, but we both were open to trying new things and letting some things be our own. Steven will NEVER enjoy scrap-booking! We have been dating seriously for almost 8 months now and I am very happy. I guess if I were to sum up my experiences, I would say that using a matchmaker requires some patience but when they get it right, they hit home-runs.

Thanks for sharing. It must have been nice to work with actual people instead of computer generated matches.

Excellent review! It goes to show that very seldom will couples agree on every single facet of their life. For instance, my wife loves to jam to 80's "hair band" music, while I cannot stand it. But we appreciate the differences in each other. I'm glad you found someone like that, and I wish you and Steven nothing but love and happiness for many years to come:)
bs review and comments on 11/23/2012:
This is obviously written by the employees of this fraudulence and ethically and morally bankrupt company. Don't believe the propaganda they're pulling and seriously what kind of animal works for a scumbag to pull this off and why is the company still around committing fraud day in and day out with ZERO consequence?
Dawn on 04/18/2014:
I signed on today and as soon as I got home I had several red flags in my mind. Only one hour had gone by so I called and asked them to cancel my membership immediately. Craig the founder spoke with me and said I would only get 50% back of the money I spent!. After about 30 min on the line with him he convinced me I was over reacting. I felt lied to and betrayed. Tina called me and said I would be meeting with Tracy. Dan met me and the entire 2 hours I was there I did not see one other person come or go not did I meant Tracy. I also received an e mail from her early that morning saying she is looking forward to meeting me.
When the contract came it was $800 more than we agreed. I sat alone for most of the time. We had to do another contract. I was told they would pay my parking but they did not pay it in its entirety, they gave me stickers to cover $5 and I had to pay $7.50 above that. The other thing that bothered me was Craig covered by saying that they use code names. And Tracey was a code name?? What's that about, deception and lying? It doesn't feel good to me. Now I will contact me provincial buyer beware. Hope they have one!! To protect me. What a fool I am.
Thanks for the 'heads up' I should have googled this first!!!

Lifemates Is A Scam
Posted by
CALGARY, AB -- Don't waste your money on this matchmaking service. I received a flier in the mail, and decided I would give them a try as I was a too busy professional to want to go through one of the internet dating sites. Went for an interview, and did not buy into it right away. They kept calling me, making comments to play on the missed opportunities, etc, and then they offered a 40% deal and also told me that they had a very good match for me already - the cost was a hefty $2200 for a membership. Needless to say months later, I had no calls from them. And so I kept calling to find out status, and they kept baiting me with yes, they were just finalizing things or some other excuse. Really noticed the customer service was very unprofessional as one girl actually giggled when she was talking to me explaining things.
In any case, after 6 months later, I asked for a refund as they had done absolutely nothing. At this point, they were anxious to set me up with someone. It turns out, they were trying to do this to avoid giving any refund back. This was obvious as the unsuspecting match turned out to be so far from what my profile had asked for, and the company did not keep to their protocol where they should have asked for my permission prior to divulging my personal contact info to a possible match. I did not accept a date with that match and requested a refund.
The company sent me a letter asking me to sign that I would not tell anyone of that letter or sue any of the directors, or officers of the company. Needless to say almost a year later, I have not received any refund back (they were only going to refund 50%). Please note this same company goes under the name of Integrity Integration, Elite Singles of Canada. I just wonder how many people have gotten taken by them? There is a good article from the CBC about them on the internet. It is a few years old, but every comment is definitely true today. These guys are a scam. They make quite a bit of money, just by having people cancel because they do not provide a service. I have tried many times to contact them, and they have never returned my phone calls.
Also, put in a BBB complaint, turns out there are a few BBB complaints out there on them. I plan on suing them anyway. Please let me know if you have been a victim also.
Updated Feb. 2/08
My advice is to be careful, even using internet dating sites. Apparently such practices may be common - look at complaints for eHarmony, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they are connected. They have a similar profiling system.
For those already in the mess of trying to get a refund from Lifemates - request a credit chargeback from your credit card company right away for the full refund, and don't sign the Lifemates release contract I mentioned above (do not wait, they will not honor their refund deadline, and for good reason, they do not want to give your money back). Apparently, there are a few dating services that are using these deceptive tactics. Buyer beware.

I'm sorry you got scammed and I hope you get your money back - but I just can't figure out why anyone would spend thousands of dollars on a dating service to begin with. Do people really think that these companies are going to work their butts off to find you your perfect match, once they have your money?
Anonymous on 11/17/2007:
I have to Echo justcuz's comment and can only add, good luck to you.
Sparticus on 11/18/2007:
Many folks don't realize there are some free dating resources out there. Before ponying up thousands to these scam companies, check out:
1. OkCupid
2. Plenty of fish
3. Connecting singles
(Google "free dating sites" and the above names for more info!)
Ponie on 11/18/2007:
'a too busy professional'? First time I've heard that used as an excuse. You mean there are no singles in your 'profession' you could meet? Heck! For $2,200, I'll send my Sis, who's a real looker, up to Canada for a date with you. But, darn, my BIL may object.
Good info, Sparticus--but the poster may be 'too busy' to check out these sites. :)

I purchased the services of LifeMates, The Relationship People, Canadian HQ located in Mississauga, Ontario on May 15th, 2007. Paid in full to the tune of $2,220.70 Less than a week later, I was let go from my place of employment. I immediately contacted LifeMates to cancel my membership, fully understanding and agreeing to their first condition on contract that states "In the event that Client elects to cancel or terminate this Agreement prior to any use of services offered by Lifemates, Client shall be liable for one half the Member fee as full consideration for interviewing, testing and evaluation of Client." One half is $1,110.35. I was told that refund would be forthcoming within 90days. I have sent e-mails, faxes and have spoken to Customer Service, Executive VP Canadian Operations. Their excuse is that HQ in California is to process refund. After numerous messages, which remain unanswered, and no refund forthcoming, I have contacted the Better Business Bureau of Canada to intervene on my behalf. Following my own search of this organization, I have found a number of complaints in other regions of Canada related to LifeMates, which also operate under Elite Singles. I have also e-mailed a number of media organizations on this. If I can't get my money back, I will make sure that some other fool, yes such as I, does not get screwed.
Daveyyy on 03/11/2009:
Buddy you are right don't waste your money because this service is not a waste, it is worth every penny. After spending hours using web dating services I signed up with them and I do not regret it.
So far they have set me up with 6 solid dates. Their matchmakers took a genuine interest in my case and have worked closely with me since I signed. I do not even know what you are referring to when you say you had to call them, since they are always calling me offering me great choices that I never would have found on the web.
RuthG on 03/24/2009:
I was hell bent on this compatibility thing when I joined Lifemates. After going through a distressing divorce, I was very frustrated. I and my ex-husband were not compatible at all. We got married only after knowing each other for a short while and then the monster differences began to show their ugly faces. After the divorce, I had made up my mind that I would never get into a relationship with anyone. I was depressed and angry at the whole concept and wanted to be independent. A friend introduced me to Lifemates, and lo and behold they were to prepare a compatibility report for me! I was impressed. This is what I was looking for all these years. When they sent me on the first date, I was quite apprehensive. But it seemed they had taken care of my wishes. I like him. Thanks Lifemates.
bone head on 03/30/2009:
I decided to go for their services five months back. I paid the joining fee, though soon after that I had to leave my job due to some reason and found myself in a tight financial situation. I decided I needed money and wanted my membership canceled. I called them up explaining them my problem and they said that I would get half of my money back as refund. It took 2 weeks but they refunded my much needed money. Also I would add that their customer service people are very helpful.
single_London on 01/06/2011:
I would love to get in touch with you and talk about this...I too am thinking about suing this company for their false advertisements. I am seriously upset with is company! If you have an email address please post it.
muskoka on 12/22/2011:
I have read many many complaints about being scammed by Lifemates. I too was taken. Is there anyone willing out there to organize a class action suit.
Anonymous on 12/27/2011:
Yes, LifeMates is a SCAM!
I joined in April 2011 and was told, among other wonderful things, that I would be "married in a year", and so far, eight months later, I had only one incompatible match to someone who has been in their database for 7 years. The guy explained that he was not happy with their service and eventually instead of a refund he accepted a "lifetime" membership which he now regrets doing because he is not even getting one match a year! Anyhow, every time I have asked about why I am not receiving any matches I am told "it shouldn't be long", and then I don't hear from them for months. Ladies don't be FOOLED.
I am in the process of requesting a refund. Will keep you posted on how that turns out.
Muskoka and Single London: yes, I would be willing to join in an organized class action suit. Let's keep in touch and please keep me posted.
mzunderstoodru on 02/29/2012:
I'm kicking myself for not doing my research before I signed up with LifeMates and paying all that money. I experienced the same runaround and BS, but the problem was I couldn't get my money back because I "approved" the first referral so I wasn't eligible to get half. However, I heard those eligible people are STILL trying to get their money back. I signed-up back in 2007 so it's a little late for me to pursue this legally anyway. I feel disappointed, angry and embarrassed.
I hope people out there do their research. There are websites out there that have reviews that seem too biased. Most don't have dates when it was published or they're just out-dated. I don't even know if these "positive" reviews are legitimate.
Check out Consumer Affairs website which shows both sides.
Scammed byLifematesToo on 03/25/2012:
Yes, I was also scammed by Lifemates in 2009. Not dates and no refund and am one of those formal complaints on BBB. I really don't believe these are Lifemate Clients who posted their testaments on this page saying they received good service, solid dates and refunds. Definitelty they are posts from Lifemate employees. What kind of person works for crooks?
Gruellrule on 04/14/2012:
Also a victim of this scam called Lifemates. So has anyone actually got a lawsuit together? I would like to be sometimes correct any action taken!

I am seriously disgusted with the lack of service and attention. I have been scammed as well. My criteria were completely ignored and they wouldn't even allow me access to my OWN profile. I wrote a letter to cancel my membership. Next step, getting a lawyer!
Ignac on 09/19/2012:
Yes, sadly I'm another one who has been scammed by LifeMates. Sounds like there might be enough people to form some kind of class action lawsuit against them. The positive reviews on LifeMates are not from real people, but rather paid employees.
fraudulence bogus company on 11/23/2012:
ALL POSITIVE comments/reviews are from the scumbags that works for a bigger scumbag of this company! Don't kid yourself people this company is set up to rip you off, just look at the reviews, the negative comments are very detailed and constructive and the positive reviews are 100% biased. I can't believe a company with this much wrong doing can still operate, but only in Canada!

WOW, I too very recently have been taken for a ride with this non-ethical company. I unfortunately signed (very pressured to at the time of the meeting by the sales rep) and informed them within 24hrs I could not proceed and I wanted all my money returned. To no avail. Any advise, has anyone brought them to small claims court? email me at email@example.com

"Cancel anytime" does not mean we will stop billing you. And they do need to pay for their fancy tv ads. Don't go near them.

Joining LifeMates Was the Worst Decision I Have Ever Made
Posted by
MISSISSAUGA -- "Our staff maintain close contact with our clients. After dates call they members to ascertain their thoughts and reactions. Suggestions and consumer complaints are immediately evaluated by our staff and, when necessary, we take appropriate and immediate action" This quote is from LifeMates, and I can tell you in my experience, is not true.
It is the worst investment I have ever made. $4000.00+ down the sink. I went for a 3+ hour interview on February 10 2014 and signed that same day. In a way I felt that I had too because when I asked if I could think about, they say no, so I signed. Stupid me, but it seem that they were serious and that they would help me find the "perfect match" according to them. Today is Sep 25, 2014 and I only have had three(3) referrals as they call them, of which only one I have met and went out for a coffee. A pleasant person but it don't go further. The other two who live far away from where I live didn't meet. I have never got a phone call from LM to find out how my "so call dating went".
When I called them, actually I sent an email, a woman with a little bit of a condescending attitude told me that they don't call that is up to me to call and let them know. Is that customer service? I don't think so!!! It is a solid rip off. One of the things they tell you or at least to me during the interview is that the ratio in the world is 70% male and 30% women, so it is harder to find a partner, and if you are of "certain age" well is more difficult, but they assure you, "no worries, you have excellent qualities as per the tests, will find someone for you based on compatibility" Well if we have that deterrent "certain age" and on the women side, I think then the rate they charge should be a lot lower than the one I paid as if I was a "younger" woman with a lot of chances.
A rip off a million times!. A great disappointment! The worst investment of my life" A waste of money! A company that thrives in misleading advertisement and website

LifeMates Review - BUYER BEWARE!
Posted by
CANADA -- People should do their research before forking over a lot of money for a membership with LifeMates. With their outrageous cost, you'd expect a high level of service. But in my opinion, they failed miserably. The following are details of their lack of service:
I signed up with LifeMates at the Calgary location back in 2007. Since then I wished I never contacted this company. I regretted signing their contract and paying all that money for a service that was so POOR. Barb, the sales rep, promised me that there were a lot of candidates that would be suitable for me. She gave me this song and dance, and I believed her. After I signed up, it took awhile for them to call me with my first referral so I had to chase them down. After a period of time, they called me with my first referral, and when I met him, he was not what I expected. That was the beginning of a BIG mistake. I specifically told them what I was looking for, then they MISMATCHED with complete opposites. I've brought this issue up many times, but nothing was resolved. It became a big runaround. My calls/emails took forever to be returned. I had to chase them down constantly. There were huge gaps of time in between where I didn't get any calls/emails. I was wondering if they actually have members to match me up with. And if they did, are they really doing their job because the referrals they matched me with were totally incompatible.
They made false promises. I've asked if I could get half my money back and they refused because I accepted their first referral, who happened to be a complete MISMATCH, which made me quite suspicious. Then I moved to Edmonton in 2008, hoping they can match me with a proper candidate. I gave them many opportunities to prove me wrong. No such luck, it was the same issue over and over again. Please do your research, understand the fine print and give yourself time to think BEFORE signing a contract and paying all that money.
Reviews from other websites (when Google-searched as "Lifemates reviews") are somewhat biased, outdated or not dated at all. It's important for people to view BOTH sides before they make a decision to sign-up with LifeMates.

yup, definitely a manipulative and deceptive company. And they send their worthless employees to these consumer complaint sites like this one and the BBB and others to continue their crime.

Beware: False Claim In Regards To The Quality Of Their Database
Posted by
MONTREAL -- I signed up for Lifemates to meet high profile individuals outside of my usual network in September 2008.
Without wanting to sound superficial, I am a very social individual with a high profile job, good looks and a great personality. I own a beautiful condo in one of the best part of the city, drive a nice car and I must say that I have no problem meeting people. I thought I could use some help because I kept meeting the same men in my social activities, most of them were not really available.
The Lifemates representative I met with twice assured me that the level of single men represented in the agency were matching my profile perfectly. I signed on thinking it could be a regular business deal where I would pay a high price and receive great service in return. Because of my professional background, I am used to quality service and to dealing with company who deliver on their claims.
I have never been more wrong than with Lifemates!
I had made clear before purchasing the services that I considered I had a lot to offer and that I was hoping to receive the right consideration. Right from the beginning, I told them that if they could not deliver the goods, I would prefer for them to be honest. They told me they would satisfy my needs.
In November, I sent a request to cancel my subscription which had covered for more that the services I had received at that time. After 3 matches (one of them I never actually met because he kept postponing the meeting), I contacted [snip] who refused to cancel my subscription telling me that now that she was personally involved in a conversation with me, she would make sure my requirements were met.
I was set on 3 more dates that were horrible. I will spare the details because the men that were introduced to me were such caricatures and should have never been introduced to me. Even an idiot can take a look at two photos (which they have access to and not us) and see the match will not work. I sent one more note to [snip] in May 2009 asking her if the company image was more important than profit. No response¦
3 weeks passed... no feedback...This is how serious they are about providing great service.
I am thinking that for all of you out there looking for help in finding love. Lifemates is not the right choice. The services are far from the level one can expect for the price paid.

Well good luck finding a 'Lifemate'...
Alanaz on 05/24/2009:
What a nerve you have to bash the company after only giving it a small try. I am a member for three years now and have seen over and over the 'quality of their database'. They have many many singles on their list. I would not be surprised if they are the largest matchmaking service in Canada.
I like how you say they just match photos. Why don't you keep your skepticism to yourself instead of spreading your stench all over the web. I met all their matchmakers from the Vancouver office and a number of times, and trust me they do not randomly make matches. They seem to know more about my life then my older sister does.
Again, your review completely disgusts me.

Gee whiz... don't we have a sense of self-importance and entitlement...

Good luck in your life lady.. you're going to need it!

OF, isn't this attitude the same as the little gal down the street has? You know the one--she has that cute pink spiked hairdo and the 12 (visible) body piercings.
Anonymous on 05/24/2009:
Thanks for the post, MTL. What I find sad is that you tried to convey an experience with a company that you found not to your liking and had to endure all the negative responses. That's the way it goes around here sometimes. People are threatened when someone with high self-esteem speaks up.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with setting your sights high and also being a successful female. Mr. Right will come along in time--with or without this company's help. As always, just because this company has been successful for some, it doesn't seem to be the right one for you. Get involved in things you enjoy and forgot about looking. He will find you!

Personality can make a person ugly or beautiful. You may think you are attractive, but you're ugliness om the inside cancels out that outward beauty.
Anonymous on 05/24/2009:
LOL. I enjoy how people are judging this person because of her complaint. little, please tell me you do not judge a person by their outward appearance first, lol. Fact of life. For instance, if I like a rugged guy, I am definitely not going to be attracted to a guy that looks like an accountant. Maybe if I talked to him for a while I would get to like him, but we all judge people outwardly first. I would definitely judge a picture the same way, as would most of us. This op obviously isn't desperate enough to date the first person that comes along and I call that having a good amount of self-esteem.
I really don't feel like her complaint depicts arrogance, but, hey, that's just me. I suppose we could say that about anyone when they find fault with a company.
C2O, put your pic on that site and see how many bites you get, LOL.
BokiBean on 05/24/2009:
No. I find her arrogance very unattractive. She's calling the matchmakers "idiots" and the men she was set up with "caricatures", and in the same review talking about finding "love" because she paid for it. Ugh.

DebtorBasher on 05/24/2009:
There's a name for those who look for men for a high priced service.
"I must say that I have no problem meeting people"...then why do you have a problem meeting them outside your circle? You come across as someone who doesn't need anyone because you're all it yourself and that's most likely why you're having trouble being happy in Paradise. No one wants to be with someone who starts all of their sentences with, "I".
DebtorBasher on 05/24/2009:
This reminds me of that stupid commercial..."Don't hate me because I'm beautiful"...LOL!
Anyway....I do hope you find what you're looking for out there...good luck to you.
Slimjim on 05/24/2009:
I think the thing is, the social stature and some other factors the op was looking for had become hard to find for her. Notably because I'm not Canadian, but for other reassons as well. Lifemates heard her very specific wants and said they could deliver, no doubt at a high fee. Then she got set up on dates with those who didn't match what she specified and paid to be introduced to. It's a fair complaint if Lifemates took her money based on a promise they didn't deliver. Frankly I thing all dating services are nothing but a picture swapping service that cross their fingers and hope nature takes its course and delivers the product for them. From a business standpoint, I always played with starting one just for that reason. That and self-serve launderettes. Pretty much plug and go businesses.

"Frankly I thing all dating services are nothing but a picture swapping service that cross their fingers and hope nature takes its course and delivers the product for them."
I agree completely, Slim. To me, that's all they could be, because no one can explain chemistry and what makes people attract.

I've never dated the same type of guy. Every one of my boyfriends have been different. They have all looked different and have all had different personalities. I would never trust these dating sites.
MTL on 05/25/2009:
Thank you to those who understood the complaint is really about a company that claims to be able to deliver a specific service and fails to deliver up to the initial promise made. I was convinced to sign with Lifemates based on information which proved to be misleading.
I must say that I find very interesting and funny that the people juging me for my 'shallowness' are doing so without knowing who I am. If they even spent one hour with me, they would feel cheap to have come to such a quick verdict. Personal succes and assurance does not come from stepping over people's head. Generosity is at the core of the lives of all the very successful people I know...not that I need to justify myself.
Anonymous on 05/25/2009:
You nailed it, MTL, and no you don't need to justify yourself to anyone, least of all anyone here, LOL!
For some reason, anytime someone posts a review about a dating site, they take a pretty good beating. Not sure why, as we live in the 21st century now and people all over the world use the internet to meet and communicate with others.
Ponie on 05/25/2009:
Right, Justbcuz, regarding your last comment. But instead of dishing out $$$, why not try one of the free sites out there? I don't doubt chances of something working out would be just as good, and at no cost.
I find the statement '...without knowing who I am.' interesting. I had a high school Philosophy instructor who once said: 'If someone says s/he's a nice person, once you get to know him/her--don't waste your time trying to get to know them.' I've pretty much stuck with that idea and it's served me well.

LOL Ponie. Its like those people who say they are direct and honest, not just jerks.

C20, you wouldn't want to know the initials others have applied to me. Our Hostess said the feed bucket would be put on around 5P, but her husband who fires up the charcoal said any time he's d*mned ready. I have such nice relatives/friends. I planned to be out of here by now to slurp some of the suds, but M3C is so interesting, it keeps pulling me back in. LOL

I totally know how you feel and I felt the same way on my second date. This guy was missing his 2 front teeth and had a tenth grade education...WTF?????????????
interested single looking for a matching agency on 07/06/2013:
I do not think her complaint is arrogant at all. She paid for a high rate service as they advertised themselves, and has not received the service. She is a confident individual, nothing wrong with that. She was told she would be matched with like minded people and she was not...she signed up with her expectations clear to the life mates people, and they claimed they would meet her expectations to her satisfaction, they should have told her straight up, what you are looking for you will not find here, they should not have lied to her, but should have managed her expectations, that is what integrity is all about...nothing wrong with her having a healthy self esteem....I actually have a problem with people who are angry with her because she has a healthy self esteem...which is a reflection on their low esteem of themselves, or..Maybe those responding are actually the life mate's sales person...WHO KNOWS...??? It however says a lot about the organisation and the claims they make.....

Bad People
Posted by
MISSISSAUGA -- On November 30 of 2005, I purchased a match referral service from Lifemates. The sales person was a Jackie at the Toronto office, 3080 Yonge St., Toronto. I paid $3000 for matchmaking the service and personal coaching. They failed to provide any of these services. They have not returned any phone calls or emails. Nor have they provided any contacts for dates. On the occasion when I get through to complain and/or demand satisfaction, I am given another number to call. When This number is called all we get automated message that the mailbox is full call back later. These people are masters of putting off complaints and yet failing to provide services. When I demand back monies render, they tell me that I would only entitled to half, then be wait listed for a decision to see if they willing to grant that. My last complaint I took to the head of office, 201-2100 Matheson Rd E, Mississauga, Ont. On January 5th, 2010. On January 8th, 2010 I returned to the office to follow up on my complaint. Immediately I was greeted with a big thug demanding I leave. I felt very much threatened, fearing bodily harm and staining the carpet with my blood. I stood my ground, refusing to leave until I spoke to someone.
The next fellow, a Mr. Waterman, promised to look into the mater and promised me very little. He agreed that something should be done. I just demanded my monies back. He said no. Feel that I have been scammed. They took my $3000 for services they never rendered. And I received so action for them to right this.

You need to spend a bit more money and get a lawyer. These so called match making services are often there ONLY to make money. I have never heard of them working for anyone. I also feel bad that these people prey on others who are lonely and want to spend that kind of money to find a special someone.
Alain on 01/14/2010:
Sherdy is right, but I'm not sure if you'll see your money again. If you're going to use the computer for social contacts maybe try chats, etc. for free and see what you can find out there (using caution when exchanging personal information when doing this).

Sad state of affairs when one would pay to meet another human being and have to receive "coaching" as well.
Mutual friend(s), Church, workplace, chance meeting and bars also there are hundreds of legit singles websites as well. Those would be a better and cheaper alternative.
Good luck.
PepperElf on 01/14/2010:
sounds like maybe they're out of business?
personally if you really want to meet someone
I'd suggest checking out the local areas for any groups that have the same interests.
and I don't mean dating sites, but rather just social groups.
that way... you can socialize with people with similar interests and just have fun
and you might meet someone special.
of course you also might not. but to be honest in my opinion you have the best success when you're not actually looking for it

It's a lot harder to meet someone that people with someone think it is, and the "When your not looking, you meet someone" is a myth. The matchmaking business is huge for a reason.
let me see? on 01/15/2010:
Did I read this correct? 2005? It is now 2010 and you are demanding your money back? Did you not notice for the last 4 1/2 years they have not done what they said they would? Something is missing.
old fart on 01/15/2010:
How did you get talked into dropping 3 grand for this kind of service...?
Roy on 11/15/2012:
If anyone feels that they have been scammed by Lifemates, file an official complaint with the Ontario Consumer Protection Bureau. They will investigate your case. If there are enough complaints, they will issue a cease and desist order and if they fail to comply and change their tactics, they can be fined up to $250,000. Do your part. They should not be allowed to get away with it.
One unsatisfied customer is already one too many.. on 07/06/2013:
Strange, there are more complaints against LifeMates online than satisfied clients, Why would a potential soul mate ever join this company, there is a better chance meeting somebody online. I doubt my potential soulmate would join this company after reading all this...if you have integrity, why would you...so what are the quality/characteristics of their potential matches...???
You would obviously not meet me and I am a good catch....don't spend money on a company that has even one bad or unsatisfied customer, that is already one life that has been made unhappy through LifeMates...one life is already too much...everyone is important!!! Every single individual is special and important, whether you wear a Hijab, a head covering ....whether you have one leg...if these guys took your money, they should deliver on their promises because they took every single individual, member or complaint on the web as a potential partner that they promised to assist find a soul mate..But did not deliver on their promises....this LifeMates company..No....spend the money on singles cruises and meetups.com depending on your interests than on this matchmaking organisation that has no matches....at least on singles cruises you will see the people you might end up with....

Beware of What They Don't Tell You
Posted by
MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO -- Their contract does not tell you that you're not allowed to see photos of referrals so you have no idea whom you'll be matched with. You're simply given a vague description of your date by phone. This is the crux of their business model. No reputable business operates in such a manner. So, be smart, have a lawyer review the contract and most importantly, ask to see faces. If the answer is no, don't sign. You stand to lose thousands if you so much as accept one referral sight unseen.

DO NOT EVER ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH LIFEMATES, after 28 years of marriage I decided to call them. They also made all these promises and there were 1000's of men in Calgary that would be a good fit for me. The saleperson asked me how much money I had in the bank, as I was broke because of my divorce I said non, but asked if I could pay monthly and she said yes. She did not say there would be an $880 finance charge on a $3700 fee, she just told me would the monthly fee would be. I also remember her telling me that they do background checks on their people, that is not true as per their agreement. After 5 crappy matches and complaints to them about the matches and a rude reply I decided to put a stop payment on the account with them. In short, they have now give me to a collection agency. they have added another
$1200 in fees on top of my balance. I will probably take them to court, however, if I loss these 4 crappy matches will have cost me $1000 each. PLEASE AGAIN DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM. If anyone has ever taken them to court pleas let me know so I can be prepared.

First of all, did you read all the terms and conditions you agreed to when you opened your membership with them?
If not read them and you'll see if anything can be done to retrieve your money. If not, you agreed to their terms already and can do nothing about it.

When I joined Lifemates, and never received a call from them for over two months, and called to ask, the explanation and fakeness I got made me realize it was simply a bad investement - $2400 dollars down the drain.( I know, how or why wpould anyone pay that much for a date unless they will deliver exactly what you are looking for- right ? --well not exactly they simply match you up so that their stas can show that they matched you up...you could have met the match down the streets...) .so, lost money, nothing can be done about it, if they give you your money back, it is 50 %.....$1200, or you simply trust that they will deliver...do they deliver...apart from the positive way they call themselves, I am yet to hear a real happy client

Posts Tagged 'duplicate photos'
One thing I discover is I'll often have to clean up after myself on the computer. And that can be really tedious. You know what I mean, we go out and shoot a bunch of digital gravestone photographs, and the camera names them DM308393.jpg, DM308394.jpg, DM308395.jpg, etc. Once I get home, I save and scan through them for the best ones for my personal use, and will then rename them JohnPaulJones1831-1898.jpg so I can see what each photo is easily. Sometimes I resize them down to smaller images. But the end result (besides some great documentation!) is that I end up with multiple copies of the same file on my computer.
Have you ever downloaded your pictures one weekend, then the next time you use the camera, it downloads the old ones again along with the new ones? Again, another easy way we end up with multiple copies of the same file.
Normally, I want to keep just two: the original, which is stored in folders sorted by date the image was taken, and the renamed one I'm using as my source within my research. Invariably, I end up with three or four copies, and that can really clutter up your hard drive.
Along with the other regular maintenance I do on my computer (yes, you SHOULD be doing computer maintenance!) I've been checking out duplicate finder software, which does just what it sounds like: it scans your system, looking for duplicate images. Not only can it search and compare by file name or size, but also by visual similarity. But a word of warning: DO NOT run these programs expecting them to scan your system while you wait! The scan can take quite some time, especially the first time you run it. These is an excellent tool for someone who takes a ton of pictures and wants to easily find the best ones to keep or print. WARNING: if you take three or four photos of the same headstone, just at a slight angle of difference or distance, these programs may tell you each photo is a duplicate, when they are actually slightly different. These programs allow you to choose the best one for your purpose and remove the others, if you want to. Easy to use, and they certainly free up disk space on your computer. Simply search on Google for "duplicate photo cleaner" or "find duplicate photos" – be prepared to sort though quite a few. Just remember there is no "right" program for everyone – other than the one you will actually USE!
But, you're asking, what if I have duplicate files on my computer that are not photographs? Can I do anything about those? You might want to look at WinMerge, another free open source program. WinMerge can compare both folders and files, and it shows you the differences in a visual text format that is easy to understand and handle. When it compares files, it can actually show you the differences within the files – so it's showing you line by line what's changed. This may be more than you want to know, but it may also help you not to delete that file you worked on and found all the typos in last week! WinMerge will also allow you to merge changes between different file versions. This program provides a little more than just finding extra copies of files – and it's free! There are othr
Ever copy emails from one folder to another in your computer and discover you have two or three copies of those as well? If you use Thunderbird for your email, there's an Add-On called (strangely enough) Remove Duplicate Messages.
I strongly recommend that you consider adding duplicate files to something that you include in regular maintenance on your computer.

Orlando Bloom Visits UNICEF Programme in Nepal
By Admin Published: January 15, 2008
Recent birthday boy Orlando Bloom took a four-day trip to visit children at UNICEF programme sites in Nepal last week.
The Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings star seemed completely at home with the Nepalese and took time out to act in a play, have a balloon and bubble fight, and get his face smeared with a traditional red tika.
The UNICEF Programmes in Nepal were as honored to have Orlando Bloom visit as he was to be there.

WASHINGTON - District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray says he's disappointed by an increase in the city's unemployment rate.
Labor Department figures released Friday show that the district had an unemployment rate of 8.5 percent in December, up two-tenths of a percentage point from November.
Nationally, unemployment rates fell in 22 states and rose in 16, while they were unchanged in 12. The national unemployment rate is 7.8 percent.
Before December, the district's unemployment rate had fallen in nine consecutive months, and Gray had touted the decline as a sign that his administration's job- creation policies were working.
But Gray says the slight increase shouldn't overshadow the overall growth in the city's economy. The district added 2,900 jobs in December, and one year ago, the unemployment rate was 10.1 percent.

Nico Rosberg claimed pole position for the Bahrain GP, finishing ahead of Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso...
Nico Rosberg: "For the first time this season everything went perfectly today and that's a great feeling. Pole position feels like a kick start for me and it's a great achievement from everyone in the team. We still had some work to do after the practice sessions yesterday and the team had a busy night to turn it around. Thanks to them for the quickest car out there today. The race tomorrow is a different story and we're very aware of that. It will be difficult, especially with the rear tyres, and we know that other teams were stronger than us on the long runs on Friday. It will be a big challenge to stay ahead but starting from the front helps."
Lewis Hamilton: "It wasn't the best of days for me but big congratulations to Nico. Back to back pole positions for the team is great and Nico did a really good job out there. I couldn't quite find the pace today and with losing five places from changing the gearbox, we've got a tough challenge ahead starting from ninth place. These things happen and I'll do my best tomorrow. The best chance to gain some positions will come at the start and then we'll see how it goes. Tyre degradation will be a huge factor so it's going to be a very interesting race."
Red Bull:
Sebastian Vettel: "I'm not disappointed with that. Well done to Nico, it was a strong lap and it was all his today. When I crossed the line I saw I was second on the screen and didn't know how much I was missing to pole as the lap was fine. When I got told the gap to P1, it was clear that even with a perfect lap he was unbeatable today, but nevertheless I'm very happy. We managed to save some tyres throughout qualifying and it will be about tyre degradation tomorrow, so we'll see what happens. It's good to start from the front."
Mark Webber: "I would have like to have got a bit more out of the car in that session and been a bit further up, but seventh with a penalty isn't the end of the world. We have a different tyre strategy to some of the others and it's a long grand prix, so let's see how we go. I'm proud to be starting my 200th grand prix tomorrow. When I was a youngster arriving in Formula One, I never thought I would be in the sport for so long. I have had some incredible highs and some tough lows, but that's top line sport. I have learned a huge amount during that time, about myself and life in general, and the drive is still very strong for the sport; I still enjoy it a lot. It's another number, but it would be good to get a good result to mark it."
Fernando Alonso: "It's really good news that once again we managed to do well in qualifying, which is our Achilles Heel! This is now the third time this year that we end up in the top three and, even if usually Sunday goes better thanks to our race pace, I am really pleased to see our potential already maximized on Saturday. The data seen from Friday's long runs means we can be optimistic about a race in which our main adversaries are represented by Vettel and the Red Bull in front and the Lotuses which might be behind us on the grid, but they will definitely be in the game. Because of the penalties for Hamilton and Webber, Felipe will start from fourth: I think it's much better that I find myself alongside my team-mate's Ferrari than Lewis' Mercedes! We won't discover which is the best strategy until tomorrow and it's impossible to make predictions. But I think the best tyre for the race will be the hard and that could work in our favour, given it's the one we have been most comfortable on all weekend".
Felipe Massa: "I am very pleased with the outcome of this qualifying, because in the end, the decision to take a risk in Q3, going in a different direction to the one we had originally planned, turned out to be the best one. On the Medium compound, I didn't feel able to fight for the top places, the car had little grip and suffered a lot at the back. Even with the Hard tyres, the chances of ending up further down the order was extremely high, but I still opted to stay with the tyres I felt most comfortable on. The penalties for two of the drivers ahead of me - Webber and Hamilton - mean I now move up the grid to fourth place, a point from where I can race with the leaders. Starting on the Medium will definitely be an advantage, but to have a good race it will be vital to find the best strategy and ensure everything runs perfectly".
Force India:
Paul di Resta: "We knew we were in good shape to challenge for Q3 today and we looked strong throughout all the sessions. As the tracked gripped up we didn't quite have the speed we expected, but I'm still pretty happy with what we've achieved, especially as I will move up to fifth with the grid penalties. We're in a great position for tomorrow; the car is strong and our long run performance yesterday gives us every reason to be hopeful of challenging for some good points."
Adrian Sutil: "The car was quite tricky to drive today and the grip level of the track made it difficult to complete the perfect lap. My final lap in Q3 could have been better, but I'm pretty happy with the outcome, especially if I move up to sixth. The track suits us, we like the warm weather and things look promising for tomorrow. It's a good starting position to have both cars on the third row and we will be looking to move forward in the race."

What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision
The P7s employ a brand new kind of headphone driver with a diaphragm focussed purely on the job it's supposed to do: generating sound. This results in a drive unit with a more precise, controlled movement – a giant leap forward in sound quality.
Sound performance with the P7 is a revelation, delivering a wonderful sense of space, balance and clarity across the entire frequency range. The over-ear design and snugly-fitting ear pads also ensure a totally immersive and exhilarating experience.
The P7's pure leather ear pads are held in place with an inventive set of magnets. This allows them to be detached for easy cleaning or replacement should they become damaged or after extended use. Why buy a new set of headphones when all you need is clean or new ear pads? Clever yet extremely practical.
The P7's cable comes with a remote/microphone attachment, so it works seamlessly with your iPhone. Because the cable is so easy to detach and swap, the P7's are also compatible with all other mobile phones, iPads, tablets and other MP3 players. The ultimate in sound - on all devices.
Thanks to an intelligent new folding mechanism using a highly-durable stainless steel hinge, the P7s fold as easily as a pair of sunglasses. Perfect for storage and portability, it means you can take your P7s wherever you go, always enjoying an incredible and totally immersive sound experience.
Damping material inside the speaker enclosure helps control and dampen internal reflections, further reducing coloration and distortion of sound.
Embossed brushed aluminium ovals signifying Bowers & Wilkins stamp of quality and attention to detail are placed on each ear-pad. Understated yet definitive, a mark of distinction.
The internal speaker baskets are perforated with air vents covered with a resistive film allowing for precise control of the air-flow, resulting in a more uniform movement.
These over-ear headphones represent a giant leap forward in sound quality. They provide a truly immersive sound, combined with luxurious comfort and impeccable build quality.

"The Bowers & Wilkins A7 is a perfect combination of looks and power."
"In the B&W P7, it has cracked both style and sound quality. We're genuinely very impressed."
"P7 offer a class-topping combination of premium materials and durability, comfort, timeless style and phenomenal sound quality."
"The Bowers & Wilkins P7 match their elegant and graceful design with a luscious display of clarity, power, and dynamic expression that was a joy to explore."
"The P7s aren't just the pinnacle of Bowers & Wilkins headphone range, they represent the height of headphone performance at this price level."
"Bowers & Wilkins has produced the Maserati of over-the-ear headphones."
"The P7 takes the best of what the P5 and P3 have to offer and turns the dial up to 10."
"The aural precision is pretty amazing; it's like sitting in a sound studio."
"Wear them and you'll discover that magical dimension where there's nothing other than you and the music."

NEW | Peel Away™ 2" Seedling Pot Kit, Brown
Customers Also Bought
Exclusive | Enjoy Seedstarting Success with the Peel Away™ Pot Kit
- 2" square pots are just the right size for starting seeds
- Reusable fabric pots air-prune roots for healthier transplants
- Self-watering tray keeps soil moist and reduces watering chores
- Choice of Red or Brown
- Set of 12 pots with tray
The Peel Away™ Seedling Pot Kit is an innovative, effective and convenient seedstarting system. The pots are made from VELCRO® brand fabric, which air-prunes roots so plants form healthy, dense root systems. This ensures optimal water and nutrient uptake and eliminates spiraling, which results in vigorous, robust plants. The self-watering tray uses a reservoir and a wicking capillary mat to deliver water to plants as they need it, eliminating over- and under-watering and minimizing problems with damping off. When it's time to transplant your seedlings, the peel-away sides make it easy to remove plants without disturbing roots, minimizing transplant shock. Pots are washable, reusable and store flat. The Peel Away Seedling Pot Kit includes twelve 2" square pots plus a self-watering tray.
- VELCRO® brand fabric, recycled plastic, polypropylene
- Pots are 2" square x 2" H
- Reservoir holds 5 cups of water
- Handwash pots and tray for reuse
- VELCRO® is a registered trademark of Velcro Industries B.V.
- Imported
- Gardener's Supply Exclusive

Best Uses
the pots do not air prune roots at all, they actually entangle them on the sides and bottom, so you are actually ripping roots off when you remove them to plant. whats wrong with the regular plastic pots , you can see through the drainage holes when they are ready to transplant and that works just fine. This is an unecessary invention it really has no positive extra benefits compared to conventional pots. i say dont bother with these overpriced useless pots.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
- Flimsy
- Hard to put together
- Too small
Best Uses
I intended to use these pots for seedlings that had sprouted on pellets. However, the Velcro edges were very difficult to line up square. The material was too soft to function as a pot. Worst of all, they were too small to be of any use anyway. Completely bad idea.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Reusable
- Large Drainage Holes
Best Uses
I ordered two sets of the pot kit. They came with instructions on putting together the pots, but nothing about using the tray. For example, should I put water in the tray first, then the capillary mat, then pots? I first tried placing filled pots onto a dry tray and I think I run the risk of floating the seeds out of the medium. It seems obvious after making the mistake, but wish I had the Peel-away seed starting kit guide for dummies. My young son helped put together one kit and it was an example of why the pots need to be square (so that all 12 fit into one tray). I bought the red color, which is rather attractive, but may prove to be a sub-optimal choice later if the soil stains them. I plan to update after more use.

Do you have BoA on or in your bags? That ilvl of 1 really screws you for lfg in Cata. If you quest a bit and keep all the greens you get and the few blues that will jump your ilvl pretty quick.
so im lvl 81 and i have 158 item lvl.someones been buggin me lately about runnin dungeons with him but my item lvls to low to run any of the cata dungeons(i usually do dungeons anyway when i get tired of questing but i havent lately cuz ya.my item lvls to low)
if i just bought a bunch of cata greens on the ah and sent them to my warrior(i think item lvl for dungeons counts stuff if your bags)would that give me enough item lvl to run dungeons cuz all ive did lately was just pvp and do quests
im not sure if i have quest greens to cover the boas but meh.i have alot of gold so i guess i could just buy some crap greens on the ah and use em.i didnt think that boas would gimp my item lvl like that though
I don't know if putting some pieces in your bank will do it; I think it will, but just having the items in your bag to cover the BoA slots should work. Should be a just a handful of quests to get you the items. The items don't have to be toon appropriate i.e. a pally can have a 333 cloth item his bags and it will count to the ilvl.
Yeah anything you find in cata is gonna beat out the BoA's esp since the exp boost stops when you hit 81, I believe. I was in the same situation, replacing the robe and shoulders bumped my ilvl a TON to where i could actually queue cata dungeons.
well,having the items in your bag doesnt really help.i just bought chest,shoulders and a helmet that were some lvl 85 blues(i didnt equip them though but they wernt even for a warrior)and my item lvl never went up
unless its because i dont really have any other greens in my inventory besides those.although i never took my boas out so i dont know maybe that could of been the reason,i can never find warrior greens on the ah though so i guess im kinda screwed as far as that route goes
unless i could just buy some random greens that are lvl 81 and use them
if it matters thats my character but ya,i pretty much have like 1 cata green in my inventory besides the blues i just bought.i dont have enough honor to buy pvp stuff or i would of already did that

You have to put stuff on to raise your characters ilvl, as far as I can tell. Even if its you just equipped cloth to queue in, I suppose? But you should be replacing your BoA's anyhow, even random greens can blow them away in stats.
Edit: Just got told in shoutbox you need to be able to equip the items for it to count, oops.
You do not have to equip them...you simply have to be able to equip them. If it requires level 84 and you are 81, it doesn't count. It counts the highest equipable ilvl for each slot. It does bot average them. Wearing boa or having it in your bag is ok as long as you have an equipable piece for that slot in your bags.
"he doens't need healing, he doesn't need healing, he doesn't nee-WHAOSHIT!wtf was that man!". Please stop leaning on TDR. -Teng
actually,i just sent some lvl 81 blues to my alt and ya my item lvl went from 158 to 194

Out of curiosity, you really couldn't get a better neck than that one since you did SM?
