Manufacturer: Vondom
Formed in 2010, Vondom is already making waves in the world of modern outdoor furniture design and manufacturing. Apart from a premium selection of avant-garde outdoor tables, chairs, chaise lounges and stools, the company also offers accessories and decorative pots, bringing contemporary elegance to alfresco and indoor spaces.
The architectural grandeur of each Vondom invention is an aesthetic manifestation of the company's passion for design and Mediterranean style. Renowned architects lead the development of Vondom's original designs, which feature eye-catching art-gallery silhouettes ranging from familiar to peculiar without sacrificing full functionality. In their collections you'll find sleek tables, some of which double as storage, and seats that resemble sculptural masterpieces but are surprisingly comfortable. For added practicality, some Vondom planters incorporate a self-watering system and many of their furniture pieces have an internal lamp or LED lighting, making them lights themselves. With a comprehensive range of products and color options, there's a Vondom for every style conscious user.
To maintain their superior standard for artistry and quality, all Vondom pieces are made in Valencia, Spain using an ecological material called polyethylene, which is highly weatherproof and hardwearing. The creativity goes beyond the product itself and extends to the deployment of cutting-edge machinery, such as advanced roto-molding technology. Shaping polyethylene into sophisticated contours through this green manufacturing process is a near impossible feat, resulting in the production of highly exclusive products.
While an excellent choice for enriching the ambiance of homes, Vondom is also making a statement in elite venues, exclusive events, and five-star hotels. Thus, it's no surprise that Vondom is often seen in online and print publications while drawing admiring glances at international fairs.

How we cite our quotes:
[Bella to Edward:] I was grudgingly honest. "Not in Phoenix…" (12.76)
Bella had no love life prior to meeting Edward, so both she and Edward are in the same position – this is their first experience with love.
As I had just that once before, I smelled his cool breath in my face. Sweet, delicious, the scent made my mouth water. It was unlike anything else. Instinctively, unthinkingly, I leaned closer, inhaling. (13.25)
Bella loves the scent of Edward. As Edward later points out, he's the perfect predator because everything about him draws her to him.
He raised his free hand and placed it gently on the side of my neck. I sat very still, the chill of his tough a natural warning – a warning telling me to be terrified. But there were no feeling of fear in me. There were, however, other feelings… (13.143)
Bella feels no fear. Instead, she's completely attracted to Edward.

Holy Crap!
Holy crap man, that's pretty good! I really enjoyed how I didn't get bored watching this video, and that at the end you didn't force the belief of everything you said on people.
10/10 and 5/5
Awesome job man!
Somewhat disappointing
To sum up, there are way too many stench of Christianity, which as we all know the religion itself barely talks about the entire world, & religion itself was full of bullcrap written by other Christians in the later period who barely knows anything but just put it there to make Christianity looks good. Lest you forget, Christianity was so desperate to gain their followers, & they will do ANYTHING to gain more (and when I say ANYTHING I really mean ANYTHING!!!!) Humanity does not limit to 1 religion mind you. So much of these ends up related to Christianity just discredit many things as everything in this video backfires Christianity itself. Lastly, this might sounds like asking for a forgotten promise. don't you said there will be 3 men to give the world a nudge...
That's what bringing this episode down, the non-Christianity related are pretty tight, since I'd done some digging while waiting for this episode.
PS. Don't let out a major spoiler again (you did it on youtube)
So basically once again, your presumptions are based on... presumptions, as long as there are no solid credible proof?
Oh so some divine being introduced writing, NOT the collected effort of generations of improvement which, from the initial scratches and pictographs on cave walls, emerged unified means of communication?
I seem to notice a trend in your theories, they are purely based on western mythology and religious beliefs, blissfully ignorant of the diverse cultures around the rest of the world. By connecting your own unfounded theories to existing, proven facts, you make your own beliefs appear to be legit, when there are obviously no credible connection between the two.
And once again you attempt to explain the unknown with the "existence" that there is a "higher consciousness", so as to cram in the loopholes in scientific theories with what is essentially myths made up of no logic, no research, no credible background, but pure... belief, belief in that it exists so to escape the burden of unexplained phenomenons.
Martians? Demi-gods? Conspiracy theories unlike those of modern times, except you replaced notable political figures with historical figures instead? It's one thing to speculate on such things, but it's another to BELIEVE in the mumbo jumbo as some sort of great conspiracy that should be learned as TRUE HISTORY?
It's like you watched a sci-fi thriller and actually BELIEVED it, how the heck did you manage that?
you have done your research and as usual you have stupefied me. but as you did say i will take this whit a grain of salt cause it is just a theory.
Very intreasting...
From the research ive done its really to the point on most of the topics but when it comes to the egyptions i am kinda lost on all the idea's and understanding on most of it.The immortal research actrully is really on the point but most of it is lost to man kind like u said more we live the more toxics we put in the air the less ower brain works.I am guess at this time ower brain power is only at 10% from the time we understood the meanings at the time ower brain power was at 100% maybe 80%.I do understand mostly all the things you was talking about and dont forget Martial arts comes from the understanding of inner peace but like you said most man turns most things evil cus of greed wealth and other things but anywho love what you done keep up the good work. 5/5 10/10

DUNMORE Louise Birdinground Three Irons, 78, of Dunmore, passed away Friday, Dec. 17, 2004, in the Crow Agency IHS Hospital.
One with Many Beads "Iishabaalooahoo" was born April 2, 1926, near Garryowen, a daughter of Winona Other Medicine and Sampson Birdinground, Sr. She received her education in the Crow Agency and the Chemawa Indian School in Oregon. She was raised with Violet Other Medicine and Ernestine Birdinground.
Louise was the backbone of her family. Her home was always open to her family, friends and even strangers. She was a "mother" to all. She was a Bad War Deeds Clan member, a child of the Greasy Mouth Clan, Tobacco Society, Native American Church and the Crow Community Baptist Church member. Her Tobacco Society adopted parents were Jim and Juanita Big Shoulder.
She married William Three Irons Sr. on Nov. 20, 1947, and he died in 1953.
She married Joseph Costa on April 20, 1979, and he died in 1984.
She loved to watch her children, grandchildren and other family members participate in basketball, volleyball, football, cross county, rodeo and horse racing. She was a true Hardin Bulldog fan with strong ties to being a supportive Lodge Grass Indian fan.
Louise was a well-known and talented seamstress, who always kept busy sewing for hand games and major pow-wows in the area. Her beadwork was exquisite, especially flowered designs with light blue backgrounds, beaded with cut beads. She loved to cook at family functions, especially making fry bread and dinner rolls. She utilized her cooking talents, while working for the Headstart Programs in the 1960s and 1970s and later for the Senior Citizens and Detox programs. She was a nanny to her extended family.
Her parents, son, Billy and grandsons, Clarence "Indian", Melvin and Blaine Three Irons preceded Louise in death.
Survivors include her sons, Melvin (Kathy) Three Irons of Dunmore, Gale (Mary) Three Irons of Hardin, Clarence (Jocelyn) Three Irons of Lodge Grass and Robert Three Irons Swank of Crow Agency; her daughters, Jacqueline (Michael) Ware and Stacie Three Irons of Dunmore; her adopted sons, Billy House, Bruce Other Medicine, Quinton Birdinground, Lyle Old Elk and Harry Moccasin; her adopted daughters, Marlene Little Light, Lana Three Irons, Sara (Del) Morago and Annie Real Bird; her sisters, Evelyn Old Elk, Edna Ethridge, Laura Real Bird, Verna (Carl) Pease, Wauinta Rokita, Montana Watt, Alta, Inez and Edith Birdinground; her brothers, Blaine (Danetta) Falls Down, Sam (Thelma) Birdinground, Jr, Larry Martin, Lloyd ( Alvina), Joe (Rena) and Robert Pickett, Clifford (Ardith) and Alex (Susan) Birdinground; her Tobacco Society adopted children, Howard, Vivian and Kenny Shane; her Tobacco Society brothers, Wayne Moccasin and Jerome White Hip; her grandchildren, Alan Cue (Jackie), Randy (Julana), Theodore (Audrey), Dorcella (Dominic), Cody (Carlotta), Greg (Kateri) ,Rusty, Buster, Cameron, Melvette (Truman), Alvin (Thomasine), Glen (Misty), Clay (Carrie) Trina( Gavin), Ivy and Josh; 31 great-grandchildren; as well as her extended family including the Other Medicine, Pretty Paint, Bird Hat, High Hawk, Morrison, Goes Ahead, Plain Feather, Three Irons, Birdinground and LaForge families.
Funeral services will be held 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 20, in the Crow Community Baptist Church. Interment will follow in the Garryowen Cemetery.
Bullis Mortuary of Hardin has been entrusted with the arrangements.

In an evening of three different District 5-AAA tournament games, Bradley Central would face an elimination game against Ooltewah, while Walker Valley had the chance to secure a trip to the Region 3-AAA Tournament with a win over Soddy-Daisy.
Unfortunately, both teams found themselves on the losing side of things as it was the Lady Owls and the Lady Trojans who walked away with the wins.
The Bearettes got the evening started for Bradley County, albeit a little late due to a one-hour rain delay during the previous game between McMinn County and Rhea County.
The Lady Owls got on the board first in the bottom of the first inning. Kelsey Chernak's triple left her in a scoring position. With runners on first and third, Sloan Sullivan's single was enough to bring Chernak in for the first run.
Ooltewah was able to get two more runs in before Bradley Central's defense could close out the inning.
Another three runs from the Lady Owls in the bottom of the second brought the Bearettes to a six-run deficit early on in the game.
Bradley Central's bats worked to get the team back in it, but Ooltewah's defense was quick to close out any rally attempts by the trailing team.
The Bearettes didn't go down without a fight, and were able to hold the Lady Owls runless after the second inning.
A quick double play by shortstop Von Harrison successfully ended Ooltewah's scoring efforts in the sixth inning.
"We made some good infield plays and I had some people at the plate do somethings that they've struggled with all year," Bradley head coach Christie McElhaney said. "Megan Ward is usually a 99.9 percent pull hitter, she went with a high side pitch and drove herself for a base hit. There were things that we did that we've wanted to accomplish all year, it was just a little too late in some cases."
As the game came to a close, so did the Bearettes' season. The ladies in Black and Gold finished out the year with an overall record of 9-19.
"We had a lot of tight ballgames that could've gone either way. We lost to some teams that we shouldn't have lost to and beat some teams that we probably weren't expected to beat," McElhaney commented. "All in all there were improvements, but there are going to be some big shoes to fill for the younger girls since we're losing seven seniors."
Coming into Wednesday evening's game against Soddy-Daisy, Walker Valley was having a banner year.
The Lady Mustangs boasted an overall record of 25-4, and went undefeated in district play during the regular season.
Even though the night started out on a high note for Walker Valley, it was Soddy-Daisy that ultimately came out on top.
The Lady Trojans were able to finally avenge their regular season losses to the Navy-and-Gold during the District 5-AAA winner's bracket final.
"Soddy is an excellent team and they played better than us tonight and had a great win," Walker Valley head coach Lauren Limburg said.
The Lady Mustangs made quick work of their opponent to start out the game, with Sidney Hooper striking out two and the defense getting a runner out at first.
Hallie Davis got things started in familiar fashion as she smashed one up and over the left-field fence on Soddy's second pitch of the night. Davis' solo home run gave Walker Valley its only run of the first inning.
It was Davis who also helped bring in the Lady Mustangs' second and final run of the game in the bottom of the second.
Alicia Raymond was waiting at first when Davis came up to the plate again.
Lady Trojan pitcher Ashley Chaney threw a couple of wild pitches to the hard-hitting Lady Mustang, giving Raymond the chance to make it to third.
Davis hit one to the left-field fence, driving Raymond home with her double.
Walker Valley was able to hold off Soddy-Daisy for one more inning before the proverbial train came off the tracks.
A triple by Tori Denayer in the top of the fourth gave the Lady Trojans their first run. A follow-up hit to center field resulted in Denayer coming in for the tying run.
The tied game proved to be motivation enough for the No. 2 seeded team to overtake the No. 1 seeded Lady Mustangs by two runs in the fifth inning.
Walker Valley's attempts at retaking the lead were all thwarted by their surging opponent.
Soddy-Daisy was able to add two more runs to the scoreboard in the top of the seventh, and Lady Mustangs were unable to get their bats going at the right time.
"We started off well and I think we didn't get key hits and got caught up in not being focused every pitch. I think we got rattled at the plate — not hitting strikes, guessing, and not reacting," Limburg commented.
With their 6-2 victory, the Lady Trojans now make up one of the two teams that will be continuing on to the regional competition.
Walker Valley will have to defeat the winner of tonight's game between Rhea County and Ooltewah if they hope to extend their postseason any further. The Lady Mustangs will play their to-be-determined opponent Friday at 4 p.m.
"We have a decision to make. We have to come out and we have to fight," Limburg proclaimed. "What you do after a defeat shows your true character. We have to come back out and fight on Friday."

Nanotech Gearing Up For Big Holiday; Micro Field Goes Mainstream; With assortment of gifts, group aims to enlighten public about the benefits
If good things come in small packages, this should be quite a season for holiday gift giving. More than 350 types of nanotechnology consumer products might show up under Christmas trees year, say officials of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. The group hosted a Web broadcast Tuesday to raise awareness about products that use some form of the technology.
With more than 350 nanoproducts already on the market, it is time for a programme of research that fully addresses concerns about the safety of nanotechnology.
Maynard and co-authors also highlight the need to communicate the results of research on risks and benefits to decision-makers and consumers. Indeed, research has already started in this area and on page 153 Steve Currall and co-workers report the results of the first large-scale empirical study of how consumers view the risks and benefits of nanotechnology.

The Side Effects Of Raising The Debt Ceiling
The national debt in the USA now is around $13.9 trillion which is $400 billion short of the debt ceiling. The debt limit was taken to $14.3 trillion at the start of 2010. Alarmingly, it seems the federal debt will cross the debt ceiling in this spring. That has led Treasury Secretary Geithner to issue the following warning in a letter to President Obama:
Failure to raise the limit would precipitate a default by the United States. Default would effectively impose a significant and long-lasting tax on all Americans and all American businesses and could lead to the loss of millions of American jobs.
On the other hand, raising the debt ceiling is not a magic bullet for financial security. There has been, in fact, quite a debate on whether or not the debt ceiling must be raised. The Obama administration has been joined by some Republicans in calling for an increase in the debt ceiling. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (S.C.), echoing Geithner, warned on CNN: "Let me tell you what's involved if we don't lift the debt ceiling: financial collapse and calamity throughout the world."
Others disagree. In an open letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Addison Wiggin, author of the books Financial Day of Reckoning and Empire of Debt, and the writer and producer of the documentary I.O.U.S.A., wrote: "by raising the debt ceiling, we're delaying the day of reckoning yet again. Instead of paying for our excessive spending today, we'll pass that burden on to our children and grandchildren. I have three young children. And I, like many Americans, already find it a challenge to educate them and provide for their health care. Now I must also worry about what their future is going to look like…what opportunities will they find when it's their turn to join the work force or start businesses?"
Failure to raise the debt limit would mean, according to Bruce Bartlett, an official in both the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, that the Treasury Department would not be able to issue any more bonds. As a result, he notes for Salon, what "would then happen is that the Treasury would lack the cash flow to be able to pay its bills. Every single day the Treasury has bills to pay, Social Security benefits, interest on the national debt ... But if the debt ceiling is not raised, the only cash it would have to pay those bills would come from the tax revenues that come in on a day-to-day basis -- from the payroll tax or from income tax withholding. But that would not be enough to pay the bills that are due that day, so somebody at the Treasury is going to have to decide -- as individuals do when their pay doesn't cover their credit cards and other debts -- who gets paid this month and who doesn't."
In other words, the Treasury may default in their obligations and spending may be slashed not only in Social Security but also in defense. Thus the investors who thought that the Treasury was a safe haven may also suffer and the global investment market may go down and the government may shut down.
Ultimately, the United States may face a crisis similar to that afflicting Greece. There, as CNN notes, the national debt "is bigger than the country's economy, with some estimates predicting it will reach 120 percent of gross domestic product...." For comparison purposes, current U.S. GDP is $14.7 trillion versus debt of $13.9 trillion.
Raising the debt ceiling is one way to prevent default in the short term, but ultimately federal spending needs to be reduced. As anyone suffering with credit card debt knows, paying debt by acquiring yet more debt ultimately results in an untenable financial situation. If federal spending is not brought under control, even the dollar, the world's reserve currency, may lose its place.

Wouldn't it be great to have a Webydo Desktop Application, where you can build your website offline and then log in to your Webydo account to upload it there?
Some of us do not have reliable broadband to build websites online (especially those of us in remote areas.)
I'm presently in Africa, and the challenges here wont allow me to have enough online time to build the ideal Webydo website that I'm looking forward to building.
Im hoping that the Webydo team would look into this and make it a reality.

Yes! Webydo offline / desktop version would b a great (safe) idea..Because the first time I logged in the Dashboard took more than 20 min. with multiple refreshes to load.
This is one of the main reason I took a long time to decide to go premium or not. We cant depend on the broadband connection always.. it fluctuates..Or even the browser can let us down and all our work could go waste with the client breathing down our neck.. -

Card Classics of Ken Krenzel
by Harry Lorayne
"When Ken Krenzel performed the material in this book for me I knew then and there how good it was, and what a great contribution it'd be to the art I love - card magic. It took all my persuasive powers to get Ken to agree to let me write, teach and publish all the material he'd performed for me. I'm so glad that he finally did agree. What an awful loss it would have been to anyone who does, or wants to do, card magic, to the magic fraternity, if I hadn't persuaded him, if he hadn't agreed.
Yes, it was some time back. And if anything can be said to have stood the test of time, passed the test of time, it can be said of the ideas, effects, routines, in this book. They are as fresh and stimulating, as clean and precise, as intriguing and clever, as exhilarating and important, today as they were then, and have been through the years. And, you'll fool (and entertain) magicians and laymen with them now just as you could have done, or did, back then.
Over eighty items broken down into nine exciting sections. I've heard and read, many times, that there is no better handling and description of the Classic Pass than there is in Section Seven of this book. Along with eleven other passes, including the Mechanical Reverse, which has become a standard of card handling, The K-E Pass (beautiful, and so easy to do), The One-Card Middle Pass, The Dribble Pass, and more. The Eerie Spin-Out which, if you'll forgive a rusty platitude, is worth the price of the book even if you paid five times the established price.
As I say in my Last Word, you'll use it for the rest of your life; there's no way you can put a price on it. You'll find easy-to-do sleights like The Natural Double Lift, The Pressure Hideout, The Invisible Reverse Transfer. The One-Card Double Lift is an exquisite fooler
So is The Optical Sandwich, The Miracle Multiple Peek and, oh - The Magic Bullet! There's One-Hand Stop - the spectator 'stops'at his own card, The Impromptu Haunted Deck and The Front Tilt - and Force-Eps, The Fan Steal, The Squeeze Steal, The Broadside Steal. Do you like to practice? Well, Section Eight includes Bottom, Center, and Second Deals - Ken's handling, my teaching (if that means anything to you).
I've added my two or three cents with an idea or two of my own and with my inevitable Afterthoughts. I could go on and on, but I won't. I've had so many calls, requests, for this book through the years, but it wasn't available. Aren't you lucky - it is now!"

Pek, the Traveller Flea, is a comic made among several European schools. We developed "Pek, the Traveller Flea 1" in March, April and May 2010. We will make "Pek, the Traveller Flea 2", a bigger comic, next school year.
Pek, the Traveller Flea #1 ended up achieving the initial project aims:
The students got involved in all the procedures required in order to create a real comic magazine. They invested their imagination, their creativity, their collaborating skills and their knowledge acquired in the classroom in a virtual partnership that led to a real final product: The expected result of a real magazine motivates students very much.
Teaching and learning became more enjoyable. Team working was effective and creating something real, on their own, gave self-confidence to students.
The Pek #1 project combines a creative activity in a European frame, team working in small (school) and wide (European partnership) scale. It embodies development of skills (collaboration, socializing, development of ideas into practice, ICT skills) mostly needed nowadays.
Having the real magazine in their hands, it's a reward mostly appreciated. The school proves that knowledge and skills have practical value.
Finally, we will apply for a eTwinning Quality Label, that is concrete recognition to teachers and schools of the high level of their eTwinning activities. For pupils, this offers a boost to their work efforts, and for the school in general, a public affirmation of their commitment to quality and openness in European collaborative work.
To grant the Quality Label, a project has to broadly achieve excellence in the following areas: Pedagogical Innovation and Creativity, Curricular Integration, Collaboration between partner schools, Creative use of ICT, Sustainability and Transferability, and Results and Benefits.
We believe that our project fulfills all these requirements.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Merg612 Good quality product
This product has very good video. The audio could be a little better, but over all it is a excellent product. I would recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jai Great Product. Can be better
We love using this for Skype call.
But there are things that can get better.
-- The Skype menu takes 50% of the screen and wont hide.
-- There is no left and right swivel options on the cam.
Other than that its great product. Smooth and easy.
I just saw AN-VC500 available. I might have bought that instead. :)

I bought this camera so my dad could see his grand kids his vision is almost gone from cancer and we can Skype now and he can as actually see the kids . Now I just need a better camera for my sister! Excellent product picture is amazing!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Merrimark Very useful add on
As a user who lives and works on the Internet, being able to use Skype on my TV is a very useful tool. The camera works flawlessly for communicating with family and friends. I am now working on getting the "motion" function of my LG Smart Tv to also work with the camera. This is my first experience with LG products and I couldn't be more pleased. No need to look elsewhere for electronics.
January 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen Jen Love it!
I wanted to find a camera for my LED TV. Tried a different type of camera before purchasing this one. Out of all the camera's trying, I recommend getting this camera for your TV if you wish to Skype through there. I tried the product out the night I received it. The person I was talking to on Skype, said that we came out crystal clear and the quality was excellent. The set up was very easy to use. I just plugged it in, the TV recognized it right away and we were able to Skype with no problems.
If you have an LG smart tv, I highly recommend get this camera to Skype through the TV. I have tried other video cameras for my TV and this one has worked the best so far. I love LG products and will stick with them for anything. I like the LG because you pretty much have to have LG products for the other LG products that you have.

Rated 4 out of 5 by mik1767 Decent product, only used 1 time
I bought a smart lg tv and waited about a year before buying the tv camera so we could all sit in the living room and talk to out of town relatives. Well on christmas we set up our Skype and called the family. Not sure if it was because of the holiday but we kept freezing up and ended up going to the computer and face timing and it was much more clearer on FaceTime then on the tv. but is was fun to see on the big screen tv. Wish it worked like FaceTime and not just on a Skype acct. overall its fun to have, not sure how much use it will get.

Big W Has The Biggest Hearts Ever
Big W have donated half a million dollars to Cardiac Services at the Sydney Children's Hospital Randwick. On Saturday night at the Revesby Workers Club, Big W State Managers and supporters gathered to celebrate a record year of fundraising.
'Big W stores in NSW have been raising money for Cardiac Services at Sydney Children's Hospital since 1995, but the generosity of this donation has surpassed all other records' said Prof Les White, Executive Director of the hospital.
Joe Verzi, NSW Regional Manager said, 'We are very proud to have supported such a worthy cause. This great result is the combined efforts of our committed 14,000 associates'.
Hundreds of children are referred to the Sydney Children's Hospital Cardiac Services every year. Some babies are born with severe heart defects that require urgent surgical repair, others have complex illnesses affecting the heart, but they all benefit from the expert team and latest technology, which Big W's big hearts support.
The Big W Big Heart Campaign helps ensure that this service continues to develop and provide the best of care to children with heart problems across NSW.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Waffle!
Facts about Waffle
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Waffle's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Waffle is now 8 weeks of age. He was born in our rescue when his mom was found on the streets very pregnant and taken to a high kill shelter, we were able to take her in so that she could care for her babies in a safe, healthy environment. Waffle is happy and playful just as he should be. Please come and meet him along with his siblings.
Other Pets at Rescue Purrfect
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Waffle, a Bensalem Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Bensalem, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Bensalem.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bensalem already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Bensalem breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bensalem paves the way for another one to be saved.

When most people think of rings, they think of wedding bands or casual rings. Melody Eshani is set to change all of that with her collection of hot rings. Melody Eshani says, "I believe that honoring my blueprint helps me bring to the world new patterns of behavior and equality for myself and for all women in the future." It's clear that her inspiration for creating these hot rings comes from within. Melody is driven by empowering women through design.

On artsy drag c/ Enric Granados and all about the Eixample there are fine art galleries displaying color-splashed canvasses and six-digit price tags. While these are fantastic places to splurge on art they may exceed most people's budget. The Scoop on art in Barcelona is to head not to Las Ramblas, but to Pl. del Pi on a Saturday morning for the artists' market.
The art at Pl. del Pi varies from so-so to fabulous and there are some real deals to be had. Some artists offer cityscapes and renderings of life in Barcelona, which I think make great gifts or souvenirs. Also, the person who sells you artwork at Pl. del Pi is usually the artist, which is fun because you know you are buying from the source and supporting the creative process, which can be a hard one at times. The artists who come to Pi are, in my opinion, better than those on Las Ramblas who are more commercial.
In the cobblestoned zone that surrounds the artist' market there are tons of boutique shops and snug cafes. This is one of the top places in old town Barcelona to go shopping.
What: Local Artwork straight from the source
When: Saturday mornings
Where: Barri Gotic's Pl del Pi
Price: Depends on how many paintings you take home, but they start around €15.00

Summary: A wild ride inside the glowing head of Dennis Rodman--the NBA's greatest rebounder and America's most outspoken and outrageous athlete. WhenSports Illustratedput the man they call ''America's most provocative athlete'' on their cover, they sold more copies than any other issue they had sold in a decade (except the swimsuit issue). Why? Because Dennis Rodman, superstar basketball player who joined the Chicago Bulls for the 1996 season, has more in common with Mick Jagger than with ...show morehis new teammate Michael Jordan. With his body-covering tattoos and ever-changing fluorescent hair, Rodman's sideline antics and celebrated benchings have captivated sports fans as much as his record-breaking on-court performances and earned him a reputation as a rebel with the same penchant for shocking behavior as his on-again off-again squeeze, Madonna. InBad as I Wanna Behe shares his surprising and candid opinions on everything from fame, money, and race relations, to sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll--and he'll talk about his life, from going to prison for stealing watches to his daughter, the light of his life. At a time when most celebrities and professional athletes try to control their public personas like politicians and refrain from expressing their true beliefs, Dennis Rodman is a refreshingly unique, uncompromising individual who both transcends his world and refuses to conform to it.Bad as I Wanna Beis as candid, intriguing, and unforgettable as he is. ...show less

Breakfast Topic: How do you respond when others misrepresent WoW? {WoW}
Feb 17th 2011 4:53PM My girlfriend used to knock WoW and more specifically it's players. I had only played it for a month or two and then left my account dormant for a couple years - but I'm always of the mind you shouldn't knock something until you try it, so I re-activated the account and told her to have a play for a few days.
2 years later we each have 3 level 85s (as well as several other 70+ toons), run a prog raiding guild, downed pretty much everything there was to down in WotLk several times over etc etc.
Lots of people misrepresent the game or make assumptions, if they're open to it, try a little education by participation.
Officers' Quarters: Guild wars {WoW}
Jan 24th 2011 5:04PM The guild I'm in started it's life from a guild split, basically myself and a few others weren't happy with the trewatment our female members received or the priorities if the guild. We left and setup our own guild, we never poached but people did ask to come with us. Anyway, it all got quite heated, the former guild leader going as far as to say we were nothing without him etc etc. He would get people still in guild to try and sign alts up with us to "spy". All very pathetic.
After a month, he and his old guild faction changed because apparently all " Alliance pugs are crap" and never achieved a thing. Within 4 months we - mostly people who hadn't raided before Wrath - were 8/12 ICC Heroic. And we almost always had atleast 2 pugs in our runs.
Anyway, my point is, the best way to shut people up is to out do them. This doesn't have to be through progression or gear levels. Look at what you and your members want from a guild and make that your measure: if it's a happy and fun community aiming to learn and progress together, then I'd say you've already won. And as you can see from my story, spite and pettiness ends up making you a hideous horde loser =P
Officers' Quarters: Speechless {WoW}
Jan 17th 2011 5:38PM shouldn't* suffer.
Officers' Quarters: Speechless {WoW}
Jan 17th 2011 5:31PM This topic is actually pretty close to my heart. Our guild did pretty well in WotLK, but we could have done better if we weren't constantly flexing and giving in to everyone's requests. We had players only able to raid two weeks a month, ones who refused to use microphones (for valid reasons), we kept pushing our raid times back to suit one or two people etc. Like I said, we progressed, but things could have been easier.
For Cata, we restructured heavily: reduced the number of officers to two, gave them specific roles, defined guidelines and we've just put out a Ready Check (anyone who doesn't read the forum and acknowledge that they're all flasked up, geared up etc won't raid). We'll soon find out if it makes a difference - we start full time raiding this week - but from an Officer/GM point of view, it's a massive relief knowing that if people still choose to come under-prepared or ignore the general guidelines, we've got it in writing that a) we expect XYZ and b) you agreed to those conditions before signing up and before raiding.
We still put real life first and know that things happen that affect people's availability or ability to raid at their peak, but one thing we learned the hard way last expac was that the rest of the team should suffer for one persons issues. If their situation is that dire that it can't be helped, then perhaps they should be more concerned with that, than a game.
I definitely recommend getting your expectations written up and let people decide themselves if it's the kind of place they're happy in - you probably will lose a couple players, but at least you have extras up your sleeve, its a luxury we didn't have.
Should level-capped players be put into content they outgear? {WoW}
Jan 13th 2011 8:57PM It's funny that this should come up. I think SC is universally despised. We have a theory in guild that Blizzard is playing mind games with us:
I hadn't seen Deadmines heroic until about 2 or 3 weeks ago. The first time in there was brutal - not even so much the bosses, but the trash. I'm a healer and some of the stuff in there was just an intense experience to heal through, even with CC (for the mobs that CAN be CC'd). I got it for my random 4 days in a row. But after a run or two we were clearing it in about 40 minutes with 0 deaths.
I'm pretty sure someone at Blizz saw this and decided to mess with me for their ammusement, because then, 6 days in a row, I got Stonecore Heroic. Usually, we just drop group and re-queue later if it pops up, since even with an experienced group it can still be hard - I dislike blaming latency, but there are mechanics in there that will one shot you and are not at all friendly to Aussies running on 300-500ms latencies.
Good to see some of the changes in 4.0.6 will improve this though.
But I like to imagine there are Game Masters our there, watching what we ants are doing, and shifting things to see if they can make us cry.... merciless Gods, they are.
12 Days of Winter Veil Giveaway Day 9: The Shattering novels {WoW}
Dec 30th 2010 7:44PM PICK ME!!!!
Breakfast Topic: It was lag, I swear! {WoW}
Dec 24th 2010 11:05AM Haha! One of our officers is a healer who does the same thing. We've tried telling her it sets a bad example but she is usually not watching chat because Glee is on.
That show owes my guild bank about eleventy-million gold in repairs.
Breakfast Topic: It was lag, I swear! {WoW}
Dec 24th 2010 9:43AM I think we can all agree it's definitely the DPS' fault in this xpac.
Breakfast Topic: It was lag, I swear! {WoW}
Dec 24th 2010 8:24AM Lag is online gamings version of getting a Doctor's certificate. Everyone suspects you're lying, but neither your boss nor the doctor can prove (nor do they want to attempt to) whether or not you have the runs.
I tanked WotLK so I just blamed the healer for everything. Now I'm healing Cata I blame EVERYONE.
Especially Ghostcrawler.
Shifting Perspectives: The unbearable suckhood of pugging {WoW}
Dec 22nd 2010 7:35PM I usually do my normals, and now heroics, in guild groups. But on nights when we have an imbalance of online members (like 1 tank and 3 healers) I usually opt to drop out and pug.
I've been fairly lucky and got quite a few runs with other guilds who are missing a healer. But one group I had last night made me cry. No CC was used in BRC, we got up to Beauty and I asked the tank what the story was with his guild not liking CC. He told me:
"CC is a crutch used by underskilled and undergeared people to get them through fights they shouldn't be in. Truly skilled people know how to defeat trash without CC"
I didn't know how to react. I had been doing 8.5K HPS, going OOM EVERY pull and using every trick in the book to keep people alive. We hadn't wiped yet, but I figured going in to Beauty without CC would be suicide. Turns out he did indeed believe that we should do Beauty without any form of control. It took my begging and his guildies refusal to engage without CC for him to actually do it. Needless to say it was easy.
I just don't understand how people can ignore that FACT that, as the OP said, these encounters are designed around CC and not AoE tanking.

Kentucky karma
BENTON, Ky. – You would think a 4 ½-pound lead would be enough, but you're never safe at a standout bass fishery like Kentucky Lake.
Auburn, Ala., pro Steve Kennedy came in with a hefty, 21-pound, 6-ounce limit Saturday and won his second Wal-Mart FLW Tour tournament at Kentucky Lake, quashing the title hopes of hometown favorite Terry Bolton of Paducah, Ky.
Bolton entered the day with a 4-pound, 9-ounce lead over second-place Kennedy and the rest of the pro finalists. Bolton seemed poised – finally, after many top finishes and even victories in lesser tournaments here – to win his first big-money event on his home lake. But when all the fish had been caught and counted Saturday, Bolton's 16-pound, 8-ounce limit couldn't stand up to Kennedy's 21-6. The final weight tally: Kennedy 37-5, Bolton 37-1 – a narrow 4-ounce difference.
"It's absolutely awesome. I had so many opportunities in the last year. I sort of had a pattern going. I had a bad tournament, and then I finished fourth. Another bad tournament, then third. I had a bad tournament before this one, so I just assumed I'd be second," Kennedy said. "It just feels great to have a good final day while the cameras were on and to get over that hump."
Counting this one, Kennedy has collected two $100,000 winner's checks on the FLW Tour, both of them at Kentucky Lake. In 2003 the lake was extremely high, and Kennedy won here by throwing crankbaits and fishing Carolina rigs over flooded gravel flats. He used a completely different approach to win this year.
"I was just fishing ledges out there on the main lake, throwing a football jig out there and dragging it on the bottom," said Kennedy, not exactly pinpointing his fishing area as "north of the (Hwy. 68) bridge" on Kentucky Lake. "It had no relation at all to three years ago. I actually found most of these places two years ago when Anthony (Gagliardi) won. I didn't have but about four or five places with fish on them."
Kennedy said he caught his bass on a ¾-ounce, brown-and-purple PJ's Football jig with a green-pumpkin Kinami Doubletail grub.
"I was throwing to about 12 feet (of water) and dragging it out to about 22 feet," he said. "But I caught most of them pretty shallow. It was just an awesome day. I probably caught 20 keepers today."
While most of his fish were largemouths, Kennedy's effort was aided greatly when he caught one of his kicker bass – a 4-pound, 13-ounce smallmouth – not far from Kentucky Dam Marina shortly before check-in.
"I caught this fish with about five minutes left," he said. "It was awesome because that fish jumped over the net the first time."
Like Friday, all 10 of the pro finalists caught five-bass limits Saturday. In total, the pros caught 50 bass the last two days, and 49 of them were released alive.
The one that didn't make it, however, belonged to Bolton. An audible gasp arose from the knowledgeable Kentucky Lake crowd when they realized that their hometown hope would incur an 8-ounce penalty when it counted most. Bolton's limit actually weighed 17-0 and would have given him the victory, but his official weight went down as 16-8 thanks to the penalty.
"That's just the risk you take when you fish deep this time of year. I did everything I could to take care of that bass," said Bolton, who fished Kentucky Lake ledges with a 5/8-ounce homemade jig and green-pumpkin Zoom trailer, a ¾-ounce spinnerbait and a 10 ½-inch Zoom worm. "I caught it on a worm in the top of the head, and it was stressed from the spawn. Sometimes they die, and that's just part of it. Of course I was worried, but there was nothing I could do about it."
While he lost an agonizingly close one at home due to unfortunate circumstances, just missing his first tour-level win, Bolton seemed to take the disappointment much better than the crowd.
"It's a tough way to lose, but rules are rules, and and that's the way it goes," said Bolton, who admitted that he was more concerned about a big fish that he lost on a spinnerbait than he was about the penalty. "If it was meant to be my time, it would have happened. If I would have caught that fish, who knows what would have happened?"
"I hate to win because of a dead fish, but I'll take it," Kennedy said.
Bolton earned $36,000 for second place.
Yamamoto flips, Fritts rebounds, Lytle steady
Third place and $25,000 went to Gary Yamamoto of Mineola, Texas, for a final-round total weight of 30 pounds even. He caught 14-14 Saturday, including a 7-4 kicker largemouth.
"That was the most exciting time of my day," Yamamoto said about the big bass. "I was bored stiff just trying to catch only eight fish."
Yamamoto said he started the day trying to fish deep, but caught nothing and moved back to the shallows, where he filled out his limit on a prototype cut-tail worm that he called a "swimming Senko."
"I guess it's not going to be a prototype for long," he laughed.
David Fritts of Lexington, N.C., caught the second-heaviest limit of the day – 18 pounds, 15 ounces – and came back from a 10th-place performance Friday to finish the tournament in fourth place with a weight of 29-4. He earned $20,000.
"This lake's been good to me," said Fritts, who threw crankbaits this week. "I really had a good chance to win, but I got really frustrated yesterday because I couldn't cast in that wind. But I had a lot of fun today. I probably caught 50 or 60 keepers."
Curt Lytle of Zuni, Va., caught 13 pounds, 11 ounces Saturday and finished the week in fifth place with a weight of 27-8. He collected $18,000.
"It was going good. The current was flowing, I caught four fish in 45 minutes, and I thought, 'This is going to be the day,'" said Lytle, who stuck to flipping and pitching the shallows on the lower end of Barkley Lake. "Then somebody at the Army Crops of Engineers turned off the water, and that was it. It was like the Dead Sea. But that's the way it goes."
Rest of the best
Rounding out the top 10 pro finishers in FLW Tour competition at Kentucky Lake:
6th: David Dudley of Lynchburg, Va., 26-5, $17,000
7th: David Walker of Sevierville, Tenn., 24-13, $16,000
8th: Jim Moynagh of Carver, Minn., 24-10, $15,000

Joe Jackson: 'Michael Was Not Gay'
The King of Pop Michael Jackson, who died June 25, 2009, is now the subject of recent reports that he was secretly gay.
After alleged associate Jason Pfeiffer said on television that the record-breaking entertainer behind such landmark albums as Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad was living an alternative lifestyle, Michael's former physician Dr. Alan Klein backed up the claims. Klein told TMZ he walked in on Pfeiffer and the singer with their shirts off.
Michael's father Joe Jackson vehemently denied the accusations. "It's not true… Michael was not gay."
Joe went on to add that he feels Klein has disrespected his son's memory as well as their past friendship. "He has no respect for Michael... to say things about him when he's gone is shameful." "He's a doctor and knows better than to break his vows against a patient."—Keith Murphy

I was in Dublin yesterday to see Matt and Craig become Honorary Patrons of The University Philosophical Society in Trinity College. It was a low key informal event with many students and a few staff in attendance.
Eamon Leonard, of Echo Libre, kindly used my Flip Mino to record the Q&A session that followed. I want to express my gratitude to him for doing a fine job, especially as I saw him switch the camera from arm to arm during the hour long event. It wasn't easy holding the camera aloft for so long. I'm currently transcoding the video and trying to make it smaller before uploading it.
I'll add it to this post later, you won't want to miss it!
Update! Matt was interviewed by Silicon Republic earlier today. Catch up on what's happening at the Web Summit in Dublin by following #dws2 on Twitter.

Nuclear India
This paper discusses some implications of India's announcement yesterday, 19 May 1974, that it had detonated a nuclear device.3
[matter omitted]
23. Our relationship with India and our understanding of its foreign policies must now be given real substance. Our effort must begin to match the effort we make, for example, with Indonesia and Japan. The cliches about India-'Asia's sprawling democracy'-on the romantic side of things; or 'India is a bottomless pit for aid funds' on the pessimistic side-will prove inadequate even though such views contain elements of truth.
24. As a polity India is deeply troubled. As an economy it is deeply threatened. As a collective and historic experience India is capable of evoking deep and possibly expansionist chauvinism in its people. Its step into the club of nuclear weapons states possibly reflects all of these characteristics, but that step will place it squarely within the arena of contention between the super-powers and will bring the struggle between them closer to Australia.
25. The implications of this move for our region and for us will have to worked out in the future. We should start now, however, in the Department and in New Delhi to increase our ability; to understand India, to pursue a relationship which might help to maintain its independence, stability and non-alignment, and to give us a clear indication of its likely future strategic and foreign relations development.

Management Sponsored by
Tomorrow morning, you could walk into your business and find that one of your team members is facing a traumatic event. It could be a serious illness, a tragic accident or even the death of an immediate family member. It could involve divorce or a significant family problem. The event might be public, or it may be private.
Whatever the circumstances, you know all too well that the incident will affect your employee deeply, along with their job performance. You can't erase trauma from the lives of your team members, but, when confronted with it, you can address it positively and sensitively using the following steps.
Get the facts. Although you cannot control the problem, you can learn what did—and did not—happen. Make it a point to sit privately with the employee. Simply asking for a description of the unfortunate event or incident provides the opportunity for the person to share whatever is on their mind. More importantly, it sets the stage for identifying what should be done next.
Put the employee in control. Facing a crisis or tragedy leaves most people feeling helpless and powerless. Although the emotions of the event may linger long after it is over, you can help restore a small measure of control to the team member's life by informing them of your support. If appropriate, inquire about how you can help. Empathy, not sympathy, makes the difference. The key to this is engaging in genuinely nondirective conversation—comments that reinforce the feelings and thoughts of your distressed employee. Your instinct may be to offer a sympathetic response, such as "I want you to know that I feel so badly for you." A nondirective response is more effective, such as "I hear how upset you feel about the aftermath … ."
Keep it specific. If you are like most people, talking during someone's tragedy is difficult and can even be painful. It is easy to resort to superficial comments and platitudes in the "things-will-be-all-right" vein. But remember, your team member is confronting specifics, such as times, dates, circumstances and needs, and your willingness to talk about the details may be affirming.
Record what's necessary. Although you usually don't think about record keeping when you're speaking with a team member who is facing a crisis, notes can be important. For starters, make sure that any comments or agreements you make about work-related issues are documented properly. These can include decisions about time off, salary or wage payments during an absence, or reallocation of duties to other staff members. Equally important, it can be easy to forget critical details about the problem during the emotion of the moment, so taking notes immediately after the conference is essential.

The Lions Have Come
Wardens of the West is now on sale! |
Battles of Westeros | Published 01 September 2010 |
Support from Casterly Rock has arrived!
The first expansion for Battles of Westeros is now on sale! Wardens of the West is now available at your friendly local game store and our webstore. Pick up yours today!
Wardens of the West is a Lannister reinforcement set that introduces three new Lannister commanders - Tyrion Lannister, Sandor Clegane, and Daven Lannister - each with their own special abilities and leadership cards. Just like the commanders in the core set, these new commanders have specific strengths (and weaknesses). For example, Sandor "the Hound" Clegane uses the new fearsome keyword, refusing to let his enemies disengage and forcing them to retreat two hexes for each morale result rolled in combat.
In addition to commanders, Wardens of the West also introduces three all-new unit types of Lannister affiliation. The House Brax pikemen specialize in formations, while the Clegane crossbowmen utilize the new aimed shot keyword. The Westerlands militia are easy to break and lack formal military training, but they make up for it in their vast numbers.
Wardens of the West adds more than 30 new plastic miniatures and over 30 new cards. It also includes a Rules and Battle Plans book as well as more terrain overlays, banners, and tokens. Additionally, Wardens of the West also introduces new game mechanics, such as the new Gambit cards, formations, and the deadly catapults!
Rally your banners and ride for House Lannister!
Set in the rich and vibrant world of George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, Battles of Westeros is a board game of tactical battlefield combat for two players. With scenarios that include beloved characters and settings, players can recreate the most significant battles from The War of the Five Kings.
Valamir has a good observation on the Gambit Cards for Lannister.I'm still trying to get my mind around them.
I bought this at Gencon, and ran a skirmish the other night. My opponent ran both the Clegane boys. Robb Stark fought valiantly, but fell to the foe. Eddard Stark made a last ditch attempt to capture Jaime Lannister, but the Kingslayer got lucky, and the wolf lost his prey.
Picked this up at GenCon.
The Gambit cards are a great alternative to the Momentum marker which felt like the weakest part of the game.
Unfortunately (from the perspective of the Lannister player) the learning curve mismatch continues. Stark's Gambit cards (like Stark's forces) are aof the "Hulk Smash!" variety...pretty straight forward and easy to figure out when to use. Lannister's cards are both much more subtle. They may, in the end, prove more powerful, but right now they leave me scratching my head and wondering "when and how would I ever play this card to any great advantage..."
Dale - Battles of Westeros is not compatible with Battlelore. It's a step on from that system and a separate game though it has some elements in common with the Command & Colours system.
It says "a Battlelore game". Does this mean it is compatible with Battlelore? Or just the same branding?
My copy comes TOMORROW
sounds interesting

Dundee Township Historical Society
Pioneer Cemetery
Dundee Township has a Pioneer Cemetery
The Schroeder Cemetery is an abandoned burying ground on Highway 72, west of Randall Road and on the west side of Dundee Middle School.
The one acre burying ground has 25-30 mature oak and hickory trees with an Osage Orange tree in the front right corner of the property. Last summer the people in the office complex across the street watched a pair of hawks who appeared to have a nest on one of the trees. Research tells us that the burying ground has never been tilled. From 1868-1890 Fred Schroeder owned the farm which surrounded the burying ground on three sides. We feel that the name for the cemetery evolved from the association.
On February 26, 1845, Isaac and Sarah George deeded one acre of their farm in Section 19, Dundee Township, to 21 people for the purpose of a "burying ground" and "none other". In 1901 the sons of Stanley Sherman, one of the original purchasers, sold the cemetery to John Fierke in a Quit Claim Deed. We have found no evidence that the Sherman sons had authority to sell the whole cemetery since Stanley Sherman had only a partial ownership in the cemetery. All subsequent deeds evolved from the 1901 deed.
Research has determined that the twenty two lot owners settled in Kane County during the late 1830's and early 1840's from three place: nine families came from southern Franklin County, Vermont; eight families came from Berkshire County, Massachusetts; and four families came from Scotland. They fled barren, sometimes mountainous land, to reach the flat, rich farm land of Kane County, Illinois. The United States government provided the final incentive – inexpensive land patents.
The families were more than neighbors. Eleven first generations, inter family marriages occurred among the twenty two lot owner families. Eight of the men traveled to Chicago in March 10, 1843, to purchase their land patents from the Government Land Office for $1.25 per acre. Fourteen families owned land which surrounded the cemetery. Official documents show that these families cleared their land together, traded with each other, witnessed legal documents for each other, and buried their dead together.
These lots owners were the pioneers of western Dundee and eastern Rutland townships and in some instances, their fathers and grandfathers fought in the Revolutionary War to create this country. They cleared this untilled land, married, and raised their families. They are the heart and soul of this community.

Circa Carezza Foldover Notebook
Best organizational product ever!
I was just introduced to Circa notebooks recently. I am in love! I have tried multiple organizational systems over my career and have never found anything that works as well as my Levenger products. I continue to order new things and am thrilled with all of them. This notebook is beautiful and looks incredibly professional. I get compliments on it everyday. Could NOT be happier! Great notebook for the money!
August 19, 2013
Simply Thrilled!
My junior notebook has become my go-to notebook when traveling for work as well as for organizing my personal life.

Nice Leather, Better Price
First of all I have four Cicra Leather Foldover Notebooks, all in the junior size. The Carezza leather is a nice quality upgrade to the standard leather, and the current discounted price ($59.95 for the junior size) make the purchase even better. One thing that would be nice for all leather notebooks is the option to purchase 3/4" aluminum circa discs with the notebook. The junior notebooks use 8 discs, but the discs are only available 11 at a time.
July 29, 2013
I love my Eggplant Carezza leather cover, it is beautiful and I receive alot of compliments. My Levenger binder is very professional in the corporate workplace. I purchased the twilight circa discs to finish off my "purple" theme binder book, and it is simply lovely.

High price for damaged product
I was hesitant to spend the money on a levenger notebook, but decided in the end to make the investment. i was very excited to purchase my first notebook and even got my initials engraved on the notebook. I was so happy that it came in a few days after I ordered it so the processing of my order was rather fast. I unfortunately was disappointed when I opened the box and looked over my notebook and found that the back cover of the notebook was scratched and has a worn out section. For the price that I paid I expected a perfect notebook not one with a defective cover. I am upset to have a brand new notebook with a damaged cover. It has honestly ruined my first time experience with my levenger notebook.
July 18, 2013
Cover is great
Cover is very nice.

Extremely Pleased!
I have used the Levenger system for approximately two years. I began with a Circa Notebook with 1/2" discs. It worked very well; however, I found I was constantly removing and adding new sheets of paper. In my position, I take lots of handwritten notes during investigations. I decided to purchase a new set of larger discs (to hold a greater quantity paper in my notebook) and, while placing my order, I elected to upgrade to the Circa Carezza Foldover Notebook. My first Foldover Notebook is a light to medium lavender shade and, to be honest, it sometimes seemed a bit feminine in the Board Room. I ordered the Carezza Foldover Notebook in Eggplant and Black. First, please allow me to state that the Carezza leather is DIVINE! The leather is supple but sturdy -- very soft to the touch and extremely professional-looking. It reminds me of my perfect leather briefcase which I purchased in a boutique in Florence, Italy. Very high quality! Obviously, I already love the Levenger system ... now, I love the Carezza leather ... "Oh, which color did I select?" In the end, I kept the eggplant notebook and returned the black notebook. It was a difficult choice as both were great looking products. I had purchased the 1" Kyoto discs and I felt they looked best with the eggplant folder. The Kyoto discs are simply beautiful! The eggplant leather is a very, rich, intense color ... not at all like the medium-lavender shade I had purchased a few years ago. Already, my new notebook has received compliments from both men and women. Our CEO took special notice and is thinking of purchasing a similar system! Thanks, Levenger! Not only am I able to keep excellent records which help in legal situations but in a life of boring business suits -- it's nice to have a bit of color and richness in my Circa Carezza Foldover Notebook!

A big disappointment for the price
I just received my Circa Caressa Foldover Notebook yesterday in Junior Eggplant. After spending $256.93 on the notebook and accessories, I can say I was thoroughly disappointed when I received it. Not only did the notebook have scratches and imperfections in the leather on the front, the embossed initals (that I paid extra for), are far too light and not discernable. Overall, was highly unimpressed for the investment I put into this. I showed my notebook to a few friends last night (all sr managers in their own right), who all stated that the item did not look like it was worth anything more than $30.
November 23, 2012
Love my Levenger - I'm Hooked!
I purchased the Carezza notebook in eggplant and I love it! The leather is high quality and the color is elegant while not being "just basic black". The foldover feature of this notebook perfect for all the notes I need to take. I am a Program Manager and use this notebook daily with my busy schedule. This is my first Levenger purchase, but it will not be my last!
November 11, 2012
Careeza foldover notebook
I upgraded to this after not liking the leather on the lesser one. I was enamored of the inside cover pockets for 3 x 5 cards. However, the inside cover pocket for paper cannot fit letter paper. It is impossible to slide it in. I even put 'stretchers' inside the pocket overnight and now it's distorted and I STILL can't get letter paper into it. The stitching makes it smaller than letter paper. This is a serious design flaw that renders the thing unusable. Sad and angering after all the money I spent. Costs far too much compared to ARC, as does the paper. I like the system however.

I've never paid attention to my gold box, but looks like it's time to do so. Thanks for the tip.

Well shoot dang - one day too late for resale
Boooooo. I'd wanted to put in an offer on a resale contract yesterday, but had to wait until close of business to confirm the specifics with DH - he was in meetings all day. Called first thing this am and someone else swooped in and got it. Big fat bummer.
Live and learn. And now we wait to find another one - while hoping the prices stabilize! |
They are FLYING off the shelf. Half the time when I call to ask they say "oh, that one just sold"
I'd get confirmation on specifics from your husband now. "I'll pull the trigger if I see this resort, or this resort, for this range of points, for this much money or less, OK?"
Good contracts don't wait for husbands to get out of meetings. |
This was our first attempt at resale, and I'd done lots of homework. But experience is the best teacher, right? I'm going to look at the bright side: Now that DH knows we must be quick, perhaps it will mean a contract with more points! :-) Onward!! Come on, contracts! Where are you? |
Which contract was it?
Just out of curiosity - are you the contract thief? :-) |
Then, once you do pull the trigger, do the impossible - stop looking. Because I guarantee you the day after your offer is accepted, you'll find something with loaded points for $3 a point cheaper than you just paid. |
Good luck to you (and us:)). |
I was sort of hoping it was you who got "our" contract. In some weird way, it would have stung less if I'd known it was a fellow DISer who got it. At least then I'd know it was by someone with a true appreciation for it! Lol. Best of luck to us both. Praying to the resale angels!!! :angel: |
It's interesting, because when I wanted to make an offer on a contract with Fidelity, the women I spoke with said that an offer had already been made, that the sellers had not responded to it yet, but that they would not present multiple offers to the sellers.
A rogue employee? The whole thing is just odd. And makes me nervous that I currently have an offer in with them! Guess we'll see. |
I think both offers were full price and they presented ours to the seller, it was accepted. Fidelity would have to split the commission with our agent. They got an identical offer from one of their clients and figured they could substitute it and keep the full commission, probably thinking no one would ever find out. We both post here and so it is obvious they are not acting legally or ethically. |
Here's to hoping that something better comes along soon. Keep your head up! Did you see that there is another 100 point contract available? I think it just came up yesterday. Dec UY at AKV . . . It's priced high but you could still make an offer. The price listed on the one we made an offer on was high, also. But it never hurts to try. |
