Smelling Christmas all year long! This is NOT just for the holidays! If you love the smell of the woods you will want to buy this balsam fir incense. I order it all year long. Have bought half a dozen of the cute little cabins to burn it in for family and friends. Everyone who comes in my house and sees the smoke coming out of the chimney wants to steal mine! I tell them "go to the Vermont Country Store and buy extra boxes of the incense" it is addicting! Service is great, products are quality and you can always find the unusual nostalgic gift. December 12, 2014
Shaping needed The refill incense sticks do not fit the metal-lined hole in the little cabin, and need to be shaved with a knife to fit. This is annoying, and awkward. April 11, 2014
Difficult to light and will not burn!!! Very disappointed with this product. The item is difficult to light and if I get if lite it will only burn about half way down. All most fireproof! March 10, 2014
Smells Like the Outdoors Have used these for many years and love how they smell especially in the winter. Are fresh and clean and makes the home smell so good. Even if Florida does not have the COLD weather February 10, 2014
Good Job I found the Balsam Fir incense sticks when searching for them on line. The price is reasonable and the delivery was timely. I am completely satisfied with this purchase. January 1, 2014
Not what they used to be! I have been using the "Balsam Fir Incense" for more years than I can remember I have been burning balsam fir incense without any complaints. I just purchased three boxes of the refills for myself and family. What a disappointment they are. They are hard to light and when you do get them started they do not last, they just die out and you have to relight them. Once these are used up I and or the rest of the family will probably not purchase any more. Again we are very disappointed. December 30, 2013
Wonderful woodsy aroma Be advised, these wonderfully aromatic incense sticks take several tries to completely light; otherwise they go out too soon. Leave the top off the cabin a little longer to ensure the stick stays lit. You'll love the wintery, holiday mood the incense evokes. December 3, 2013
A room fragrance we can all agree on! There are many choices for room fresheners and incense at local stores, but they all seem to be too strong, too cloying, too fruity, and overall too overpowering. The Balsam Fir is just right, delicate and evocative of fireplaces and warm family times. It isn't available just anywhere, but I know I can rely on the Vermont Country Store when the old box starts to run low. December 3, 2013

Pleased so far
By bird dog
from Orlando, Fl
I wear these slipper socks every evening during the cool weather. they keep my feet very warm while walking on tile floors. Out of three pairs that I have owned, all from different venders, I'll put these in the #2 slot. When they outlast my first pair, 25 years, I'll move them to #1. 2nd pair feel apart after 2 years.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Comfort
By Johnny "S"
from Mount Vernon, OH
Recently removed carpeting in whole house. Had original hardwood flooring sanded and refinished. Am a recent s/p (L) hip revision with (R) hip revision to soon follow. This was a Christmas gift. Feel safe wearing these when walking on the wood floors.
An excellent gift!
By Vlad
from Canada
I bought this as a gift for my wife and she loved them! In fact, I'm a little jealous of them...Time will tell how durable they are, but I am trusting H.S. enough that they will last. The price gets expensive once you figure in shipping and tax on top of that.If there are any cons, it is that they don't just slip on like socks or slippers, you have to fiddle a little with them.Overall, very impressed with them.

Area fourth graders love stepping into past at Swiss Heritage
Over 1,700 fourth grade students from local and surrounding area schools converged on Swiss Heritage Village Friday to experience the sites, sounds and activities of life at the time that settlers came into the local area. Many of the students expressed feelings similar to Savannah Johnson, a fourth grader at Redkey Elementary School.
"I like seeing how it was in the old days," observed Johnson. "I learned how to make baby dolls, how they ate and the way that they cooked things. I learned what their houses were like."
"I think this is outstanding. It made me want to be back in the old days," commented Abbi Kuss, also of Redkey Elementary. "I liked the doctor's office and how their stove made things."
Jennifer Johnson, a teacher at Redkey Elementary, said that Friday's Education Day activities represented one of the primary reasons why she became a teacher – so children would have the opportunity to interact with activities.
"They have all of these experiences that enrich their learning," observed Johnson.
"The bull riding was fun; I learned a lot about how they lived," commented Redkey's Shayla Fisher. "It makes me want to live in the olden days."
Other students like Sara Garringer enjoy some of the relics of the time period that she had purchased such as a special feather and bracelet.
Students such as Bluffton's Emily Hiday and Draven Russell summoned the word, "fun," as a best description of their day. Both said that they enjoyed hanging out with their friends while touring the village.
"I like this place a lot," said Hiday.
Bluffton cousins Victoria and Shellie Valentine said that they would love to visit Swiss Heritage Village every day of the year.
"I could come here every day," commented Victoria. "It is really fun. I'm looking forward to eating here and finding the sheep to milk. I really like it."
"I liked seeing the way that they washed their clothes," commented Shellie. "I was amazed with the weaving in the barn. It was a great atmosphere."
Many of the students such as Bluffton's Seth Bennett were intrigued by the outdoor playground items such as the rope climbing, balance beam and swing.
Local resident Wilmer Sprunger worked by the old school on Friday as a part of community service to the local community and its heritage.
"We are so fortunate to have this," said Sprunger. "Without this kind of museum, we wouldn't know what was in our past. We wouldn't know what our earlier history was about."
Many chaperons and teachers present reminisced about days when they had been to Swiss Heritage Village at an earlier time. Kelly Fulk, a home schooling instructor from Decatur, said that she still has a heart that she made on Education Day several years ago.
"It's something, in my home, I decorate quite a bit like the way they did back then," Fulk said.
One group of students that especially were fascinated by Swiss Heritage Village were Prince Chapman Academy students from East Allen County schools.
A teacher from the system, Nidzara Sakinovic, said that she had been to Education Day several times and is always amazed at how much the students get out of the experience.
"We come every year; they talk about it for months," said Sakinovic.
"This is really exciting; I really like making bracelets," observed the Academy's Vanessa Villanueva. "I like the way your can put yourself back into the 1800s."
"They teach us a lot of stuff, how people used to live in those days," observed Alexandra Coreas, also from the Academy. "I like learning what they did, how they made things back then. This is something I will always remember."
Many of the educators expressed deep appreciation to Swiss Heritage Village officials and volunteers for making such a day happen.
"I was so excited to be able to come," observed Julie Purdy, fourth grade teacher from Huntington's Lincoln Elementary. "It's one of the few places were students get to experience hands on opportunities from something they have read about. The way this is modeled is fantastic. I will always appreciate the fact that our students get to do this. Thank you to all that make this possible."

Bathroom Exhaust
AXC in-line duct fans are the strongest and quietest bathroom fans available today. These fans allow the exhaust of multiple vents or bathrooms with one fan. They are user friendly, easy to install, and can be located directly over a shower.
Range Hood Exhaust
AXC in line duct fans can be used as a principle exhaust fan, or as a booster fan to improve the efficiency of an existing residential range hood. These fans can be variable speed controlled by using an independent speed controller, or by tying into an existing range hood controller. The heavy gauge housing, with epoxy coating inside and out, provides a rugged fan with superior corrosion protection.

Rupert Murdoch is one possible buyer of Tribune Co. papers
BY DAVID ROEDER Business Reporter email@example.com December 31, 2012 5:36PM
The Chicago Tribune at 435 N. MIchigan Avenue. | Richard A. Chapman~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: February 2, 2013 6:24AM
Rupert Murdoch knows that the lines to Tribune Co. are now open.
On Monday, Tribune emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy after four years. The media giant, which owns the Chicago Tribune and WGN TV and radio, is expected to be sold in chunks large or small now that it's owned by the financial firms who were its biggest creditors.
Murdoch, the media baron who runs News Corp., is one possible buyer of marquee names such as the Tribune newspaper or the company's Los Angeles Times.
In 2012, Murdoch accelerated News Corp's split into separate publishing and broadcasting companies, a process expected to be done by mid-2013. Establishing a separate publishing company will let him bid for Tribune-owned newspapers with more hope that regulators won't get in the way.
He will have inside connections for any bid. Two of Tribune's new board members have direct connections to Murdoch as former executives of his Fox network. They are Ross Levinsohn, also a former chief executive of Yahoo Inc., and Peter Liguori, who is expected to become Tribune's new chief executive.
Even the presumably outgoing CEO, Eddy Hartenstein, has past experience with Murdoch. He sold him DirecTV in 2004. Tribune said Hartenstein will remain CEO until the new board organizes itself in a few weeks.
New industry analyst Ken Doctor, author of Newsonomics, said Murdoch's most pronounced interest is probably in the Los Angeles Times because of its power within the entertainment business. But in building a national publishing network linked to his Wall Street Journal and New York Post, the Chicago Tribune also would be useful.
"The market for newspapers has stabilized" after years of declining advertising revenue, Doctor said. "It's a decent time to sell, as last year saw more merger and acquisition activity in newspapers."
Doctor said Tribune's owners "are much more likely to sell the newspapers rather than to cut staff and operate them."
Tribune's 23 TV stations are the profitable side of its business and there could be less pressure to sell them. But asset sales will be the focus of the owners, Oaktree Capital Management LP; Angelo, Gordon & Co. and JP Morgan Chase & Co.
The assets include stakes in Food Network and CareerBuilder Inc. Lance Vitanza, managing director at CRT Capital Group LLC, told Bloomberg News, "It's all for sale. If they reorganize around anything it will be the TV assets, but we wouldn't be surprised if they sell those too."
Financial adviser Lazard in 2012 estimated that the company's newspapers, primarily its eight major dailies, are together worth $623 million. But Doctor said strong interest in the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune will drive up prices.
Lazard estimated the company's 23 TV stations and WGN are worth $2.85 billion.
Other Tribune directors are Bruce Karsh, president and co-founder of Oaktree; Oaktree Managing Director Ken Liang; Peter Murphy, founder of Wentworth Capital Management LP; and entertainment lawyer Craig Jacobson.
"Tribune will emerge from the bankruptcy process as a multi-media company with a great mix of profitable assets, strong brands in major markets and a much improved capital structure," Hartenstein said in a press release.
He also issued a separate statement to employees, thanking them for hard work during the four years and saying the company is "well-positioned for success in 2013."
In emerging from bankruptcy, Tribune said it will receive a $1.1 billion senior secured term loan and a $300 million asset-based revolving line of credit. The loan will fund certain payments to creditors and credit line will be used for ongoing operations.
A federal bankruptcy judge approved the reorganization plan in July, but final action had to wait until November, when the Federal Communications Commission approved the transfer of the company's broadcast licenses to the new company.
The Tribune bankruptcy was inordinately complex, featuring warring groups of creditors. Some were emboldened to pursue claims because of a 2010 report by an outside examiner that concluded top executives at Tribune engaged in "intentional fraud" to close the sale to Chicago real estate tycoon Sam Zell.
The $8.2 billion sale left the company with $13 billion in debt just as changes in technology started reducing advertising in traditional print media. The company no longer generated enough cash to cover the debt as well as operations.

Suitable from 2 years+
Little Tikes specialise in colourful, imagination-building, durable baby toys, playhouses, infant toys, toddler toys, indoor toys, outdoor, and ride on toys for preschoolers and other children.
The Inside Outside Cook & Grill Kitchen lets kids cook up fun in the kitchen and grill up a barbeque on the garden patio. The deluxe kitchen features a magnetic refrigerator door, and a hob with electronic sounds.
It also has a window, a large sink with a modern tap, an oven, dishwasher and storage bins. The realistic outdoor environment includes a stone patio, a stylish fabric canopy, a picnic table and bench, and pretty flowers. The grill has cooking sounds, and realistic "flames."
Kitchen great for children to play the only thing I can really fault is no shelves in dishwasher & oven so play food & pots just thrown in by granddaughter she asked weres the rack for pots haha
It's OK. Its blown plastic and therefore the parts do not fit together very well. The base of the item is uneven and therefore not very steady. Need to use folded cardboard to prop up where the base is not touching the floor. Doors are bent and misshapen and some do not even close!.
Great for two or more children to play on each side. Plenty of things to do, the BBQ makes a lovely change to it just being a kitchen. The downside was putting it all together. You need a drill to make the holes as there is no way you could put it together easily without one.
Bought this for our 2.5 year old grandson online. Assembly straightforward and all the parts came together easily. Nothing missing. Grandson loves it - especially the barbecue. Would highly recommend.
Product was excellent. Easy to assemble. The children loved the indoor/outdoor fun. Although it seemed to be the boys round the BBQ side!

"Great Gift!"
By Donna
Comments: I purchased for my husband and he absolutely loved it. FYI...I want one for myself!! Other sites offer similar products but reviews indicate they are cheaply made, the image peels or is placed crooked. This is not the case with this product!
By Erohiel
Comments: I order one of these for myself with a piece of artwork that I liked rather than a photo; and I just got it today, and I must say, they did a BEAUTIFUL job. Its better even than I imagined it would be and I look forward to using it is often as possible. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a card holder with a more personal touch, whether it be photos or any other kind of image.
By Cynthia Kline
Comments: I just love my personalized business card holder. It is just beautiful and I will enjoy using it. I can't believe how fast I got it!
"best gift ever"
By Xochilt Jimenez
Comments: My boyfriend is a car enthusiast. I had a picture of his favorite car put on and paid to have the additional engraving. He absolutely loved it. He can't stop staring at it. The picture quality is absolutely the best.
By Kelly Randall
Comments: I ordered this as a Hanukkah gift for my boyfriend. He has his own business so I thought a business card holder with his logo would be perfect. The shipping was extremely fast and the quality is amazing. It's absolutely beautiful and he loved it! Definitely a good decision!

Westone 4R with Removable Cables
"Bass response doesn't bleed to the vocals or any other frequencies whatsoever, lightweight cable with no microphonics and a narrow plug to connect to portable devices.

Westone 4 True-Fit Earphones
"I bought these as an upgrade from the W3, which while extremely fun, I soon became disappointed in, due to mid bass bleed into the midrange.

"Intro: I must say the UM2 sounds better than the UM3x which I sold shortly after few months. In short; it sounds more articulate,airy and more expansive. The UM3x sounded too bloated,closed in and collapsed to me; the soundstage was too narrow and the UM2 doesn't share the same trait which is great.

Westone UM2 stage monitors
" Disclaimer I bought these about 3 years ago, used them a lot and got to "know" them well. The (sort of a) good thing is: They still perform as good as they did when I first tried them on.

They are big enough for the toddler, but the snaps are annoying Review by Michelle
Price Value Quality
Once again, I have to confess I hate snaps, but it's very hard to find cloth swim diapers big enough for a 32 lb boy, so I can't complain too much. They are quite nice otherwise, and if you don't mind snaps, these are great! (Posted on 1/4/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes

INTERVENTION returns to some of the people they have tried to help, including the cocaine using brothers Brooks and Ian.
- Several reforming addicts talk of their struggles to keep their addictions at bay.
- Watch as addicts and their families confront the compulsions that are destroying their lives.
- Reality TV at its most unvarnished and gripping.
In INTERVENTION, people confront their darkest demons and seek a route to redemption. From compulsive gamblers to shopaholics, drug addicts to young people estranged from their families, INTERVENTION features real people at the breaking point as they are confronted by friends and family. In fly-on-the-wall style, INTERVENTION captures the drama as people grapple with their demons in an attempt to chart a course to recovery.
This second "follow-up" episode will allow for a much deeper investigation of life after addiction has been confronted, as we revisit some subjects several weeks later to see if their intervention was successful. Included are alcoholic wife and mother Cristine; heroin addict Audrey; and brothers Brooks and Ian, both cocaine addicts.

The Cowshed Collective design and build workshop was the third of three focused on creating new infrastructure for Callan, including a river walk and a seasonal bridge design led by LiD Architecture. Superfolk Design Studio also led a design for a system of public access gates. The Cowshed Collective sourced the majority of their materials, including brick, galvanized steel, timber and even pre-cut plywood panels, from the existing site.
The idea was to create a new home for a cow and her calf which is connected to the existing farm. Two pitched roofs collect and channel rainwater for the pair, while cutouts in the walls and metal roof ensure that plenty of natural light and air circulate through the space. "The participants and the workshop leaders worked side by side with local tradesmen, builders and specialists in the areas of lime rendering and green oak engineering to realise an ambitious build programme," according to Commonage. Albeit less fancy than some of our projects, it's rewarding to see young designers focused on working together to achieve genuinely sustainable projects that enhance quality of life.

(CNN) -- The German Cabinet has agreed to send Patriot missiles and up to 400 soldiers to Turkey to deter the Syrian civil war from spilling into the country.
The cabinet decision, made in a special session Thursday, follows a move by NATO foreign ministers two days earlier to approve Turkey's request for such missiles.
Errant Syrian artillery shells struck the Turkish border town of Akcakale and killed five Turkish civilians in October.
Turkey asked NATO to deploy Patriot missiles along its border to bolster its air defenses against Syrian threats.
In addition to Germany, the United States and Netherlands -- both of which have Patriot capabilities -- have signaled they would be willing to contribute missiles.
"Any deployment will be defensive only. It will in no way support a no-fly zone or any offensive operation," the NATO statement said.
The decision was made as news surfaced about fears of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government using chemical weapons.
