Just okay The comforter was a bit 'thinner' than I was expecting. Pretty, just not exactly what I was looking for. Colors were accurate however.

Not as nice as the picture... Thought this comforter would look nice based on the picture. It's ok, but for the price I would not purchase this item again. The color is much darker than it appears in the picture, and it feels like it is filled with a cheap poly fill. It's warm, and does the job, but it is not as elegant looking as it is in the picture. Once we finish redecorating our bedroom, I will probably get a new comforter that is nicer to replace this one.

Got the white and love it Got this on a flash sale and what a deal. Bought the white in queen and it fits true to size without hanging down low on the sides of the bed. This did come quite wrinkly but most came out in the steam cycle of my dryer. I don't think it will ever be completely wrinkle free because of the gathered material even though it is polyester. As someone said earlier it is very soft. This is so much prettier than the lookalike comforters at ****. Those had too many pleats.. The pillow was completely white on the otherside if you don't like the color or design. With the white comforter the flowers were stitched in black. Mine did not have a smell even though it was made in China.

Love love love! Simply can't believe how lovely this set is for the price! As most are, I was concerned about the quality due to the low cost , but the reviews seemed pretty straight forward, so I gave it a whirl. It's so beautiful, so soft and goes with everything. Love the neutral simplicity of this set. The decorative pillow is the perfect accent, not tacky at all. We ordered taupe. Using it in the master and it's perfect. Love it!

The comforter set is just what I had in mind. I love this London Pinched Pleat 4-piece comfort set. It is "simple", but elegant. The color is as I had hoped it would be and the quality of the material is very nice - soft and cozy. I ordered a king size to go on my queen bed and I am pleased with the fit. Overall - I highly recommend this product.

Good Value Nice soft fluffy comfortoer. Pintucking is nicely done, and stable. As said by one reviewer, I doubt if it will be completely wrinkle free because of the style, but it is very nice. I have no complaints, but have not laundered yet. Wish it would have come with a bed skirt though.

Hello icandotherobot, we apologize for the confusion, the King size is a comforter as well. We will correct our copy and thank you for calling this to our attention.
I got the queen, and it is the right size.
Is this true to size? Example...I have a queen size bed. Should I buy the queen size or up the size to a king comforter which is sometimes recommended for other comforters.
Hello khlaf, we have not had any reviewer feedback that the comforter is not true to size. Standard comforters range in size from 86 to 88 inches wide and 96 to 100 inches long. This queen size is 90 inches wide x 92 inches long, so it is not quite as long, but it is wider that standard. Based on those dimensions, you should be able to make your decision.

How to Buy a Down Comforter
Two major considerations when purchasing a down comforter are content and construction. The Federal Trade Commission has standards set that specify labeling procedures for products that contain down. If the label of a down comforter reads 100 percent down, the comforter must contain down feathers exclusively. The same is true if the label reads pure down or all down.

How to Fluff Comforters
You know it's time to cover the beds with cozy comforters when there's a chill in the air and cold weather sets in. Bedding stored in moisture-resistant bags with the air removed will be clean, but it may be flat, too. Generally stored during the warm seasons, down comforters may become lumpy if the filling was unevenly distributed while they were packed away. Comforters currently in use that appear flat should be freshened, too. A simple fluffing will restore volume, making your bedding plush and cuddly for cold winter nights. Look below to learn how to fluff comforter sets.
How to Clean Bed Comforters
Bed comforters are notoriously difficult to clean at home because of their bulk and weight. Most bed comforters are quilted and drop at least 15 inches over the sides and foot of the bed. These should be cleaned thoroughly once every three months, and large comforters may need to be dry-cleaned. However, many comforter sets can be cleaned at home if you have the right equipment. Take a look below to learn how to clean bed comforters.

Keep reading below for important things to remember on how to show off bedroom sets.
Best Skirts for the Office
It is important to find a comfortable skirt to wear to the office that is appropriate yet stylish. Skirts are a staple of any wardrobe; they are also one of the most versatile pieces of clothing and can be worn with sweaters, blouses or jackets. Depending on your office dress code, conservative or casual styles may be appropriate, so choose styles and colors that fit into your existing wardrobe. Wear long skirts for cooler weather. While the most popular women's skirts are hemmed around the knee, cold winter months are a great time to wear longer skirts. Formal long skirts, especially those made of silk or velvet fabric, are probably out of place in the office. Stick to cotton, twill or even wool fabrics for a professional look. Ruffles and pleats can also give long skirts a feminine touch. A-line skirts are the best shape for most women because they create a waistline and widen at the hem, balancing out larger hips. Select flattering skirt sets. To ensure your skirt looks as professional as possible for the office, find a skirt set with an accompanying jacket. You can pair the skirt set with any type blouse, including silk, cotton or polyester. For a clean look, wear a skirt and jacket with a blouse that easily tucks in and does not create a bulge or pull around the skirt waist. You can also pair women's skirts with separate jackets if you want to mix up the wardrobe. Choose a slimming pencil skirt. One of the most common and fashionable skirts to wear is the pencil skirt. It pairs nicely with a variety of blouses, sweaters and jackets, making it a versatile part of the wardrobe. The pencil skirt is flattering to all body types, from very thin to curvaceous women. The skirt's silhouette is straight at the waist and narrows at the knees, allowing it to hug all of the curves of the body. Look for a pencil skirt that has a slit or pleat in the back near the hem to allow for increased movement while walking. Find an appropriate casual skirt. Casual skirts can be professional and dressy enough to wear to work. For the office, look for skirts made of cotton, khaki material, linen or even wool to provide a comfortable option. Keep casual skirts mid-length, allowing them to fall either slightly above or below the knee cap. View All Skirts Back to Guides Directory View All Skirts

Miami Lakes is a funny place: Two weeks ago, models and Germans show up. This week, Osama himself. Well, in a manner of speaking. Melvyn Miller, who owns The Protective Group, a manufacturer of defensive Kevlar-type vests for police and military use, was horrified to learn bin Laden had been caught on video (released by the Pentagon), wearing a flak jacket that could have been "one of ours."
"I find it abhorrent that the man who is trying to kill our [boys] is using our products to protect himself," Miller said. On the other hand, Miller's no fool. He said he could "understand" that if a man has a $25 million price tag on his head, "I would want to obtain the best protective product possible, too."

Remembering that Slavery is Not Just an Injustice of the Past
Posted on Thursday January 22, 2015
Too often, we conceive of slavery as problem of the past, a moral lapse that has been corrected. The truth is, however, that more people are enslaved today than were enslaved at any other point in world history. The International Labor Organization, an agency of the United Nations, estimates that 21 million people across the […]
This Passover, Let Us Commit to Ending Modern-Day Slavery

In typical Jewish fashion, Passover is a holiday centered on the celebration of our freedom while also ensuring that we do not forget the bitterness of slavery.

By Maurice I. Middleberg, Executive Director, Free the Slaves The Jewish people have a special connection to the curse of slavery and to its eradication. At the heart of our history is the Exodus.

CMT's 15th MEAPET 2014 to Highlight PET Demand and Growth Prospects in the Middle East and Africa
15th MEAPET is all set to open on 11-12 February, 2014 in Dubai to showcase PET Resin Trade, Applications & Recycling trends in the Middle East and Africa. Several key converters, recyclers, brand owners, solution providers will share their perspectives on PET demand in Africa, resin supply/demand landscape in Middle East & Africa, upcoming new facilities in the region and more.
Dubai, UAE (PRWEB) December 17, 2013
Centre for Management Technology (CMT) today announced that its annual event 15th MEAPET (Middle East & Africa PET Resin Trade, Applications & Recycling) will be held in Dubai, UAE on 11-12 March 2014. The event will provide a platform for PET key players and stakeholders to reflect on 2 burgeoning questions – Growth or Glut for the Middle East PET Sector? And Will Demand in Africa Continue to Boost Regional PET Trade?
The event kick-starts with an overview of 'Global PET Markets with Emphasis on the Middle East & Africa' by David Swift, Managing Director of PCI (PET Packaging, Resin & Recycling) – setting the tone for more in-depth sessions like insights on 'Analysis of the Changing PX/PTA Landscape' which focuses on raw materials and price structure by Gordon Haire, Senior Consultant with PCI Xylene & Polyester.
The event will also provide participants with an update on sustainability via the session: 'DANONE's Strategy: Making PET Bottles More Sustainable!' by Philippe Diercxsens, Packaging & Environment Manager, DANONE Waters Division.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I offer this challenge one more time: Strictly from memory, list the real name or usernames of three of this site's admins.
Now write a couple of sentences documenting the personal background or merely the administrative approach of one admin. Do you know anything about them?
Next, explain exactly how one would contact any admin or a specific admin. I mean exactly.
Admins need to be listed by full name and username, with a way to contact them. When one merely wishes to contact any admin, that has to be possible too.
I think if Admins/moderators had some sort of badge near their avatar, it would help a lot.
- Lex
There's a page that has a list of the moderators, with the possibility to contact one of them.
I agree that, in order to offer a functional service, a link to that page – or another possibility of contacting them – should be present on every page.
I also wish there was a way to contact any admin.
Florian, your avatar on that page links not to you but to Paul Hunt. And Kent's links to Tiffany.
I agree that some sort of moderator badge would be useful. Many forums put a star or some other icon next to the moderators' usernames, or they have a special avatar or custom title.
Ben, thanks for the pointer. Alas, I can't edit that page. Will contact a super admin. ;-)
When offering my services as an Admin, I was explicit that I have no interest in being a Moderator.
I have no problem with being a janitor and cleaning up the trash as I go along, but I am quite frankly not interested in fielding a barrage of messages from all and sundry.
If greater visibility becomes a requirement, then I will likely rethink my service.
I thought the short-lived flag feature was promising. I look forward to its reinstatement.

Ben "Son" Johnson, Jr. (June 13, 1918 – April 8, 1996) was an American stuntman, world champion rodeo cowboy and actor. The son of a rancher, Johnson arrived in Hollywood to deliver a consignment of horses for a film. He did stunt double work for several years before breaking into acting through the good offices of John Ford. Tall and laconic, Johnson brought further authenticity to many roles in Westerns with his extraordinary horsemanship. An elegiac portrayal of a former cowboy theatre owner in the '50s coming of age drama, The Last Picture Show, won Johnson the 1971 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He operated a horse breeding farm throughout his career. Although he said he had succeeded by sticking to what he knew, shrewd real estate investments made Johnson worth an estimated 100 million dollars by his latter years.

Davis lived on relentless drive to win
From the time he became the youngest coach and general manager in sports when he came to the Oakland Raiders in 1963, Al Davis had one goal and it became his mantra, "Just win, baby."

- 10 little-known Davis facts
And the Raiders under Davis, who died Saturday at the age of 82, won as much as any team in sports for three decades until running into some lean years beginning in the 1990s.
"That drive to win included everything he did," said Scotty Stirling, who was the first Raiders beat writer for the Oakland Tribune in 1960 before being hired by Davis as public relations director and later becoming general manager.
"In 1964, we got the Port of Oakland to put up a sign in the Oakland Airport that said, 'Oakland, Home of the Raiders.' One day after the season, Al came back from a trip from Los Angeles and the sign had been taken down.
"When he gets back to the office, he calls the head guy, who tells him that they took it down because the season was over. Al hangs up. But a minute or so later he said, "Dammit, I didn't win that phone call.
"So he called back and talked the guy into putting the sign back up. He had to win at everything."
He was an owner who leaves a lasting legacy on the NFL. Take a journey through the highlights of his tenure.Davis was a little-known 33-year-old assistant for legendary coach Sid Gillman of the San Diego Chargers when the Raiders hired him away in 1963.
He took a team that had been 2-12 and 1-13 the two previous seasons, and was rumored to be moving or folding seemingly every week, and led them to a 10-4 record in his first season.
"I had a dream to build the finest organization in sports," said Davis, who instituted several slogans the Raiders still use today, such as "Pro Football's Dynamic Organization," "Pride and Poise" and "Commitment to Excellence."
Davis sent his Raiders out into the Northern California community on dozens of public appearances and established a fan base, "Raider Nation," that remains relatively strong despite the team's recent struggles.
In some ways, the Raiders put Oakland on the map.
"When you say you are from Oakland, people ask, 'Isn't that where the Raiders are from?' said actor Tom Hanks, a graduate of Skyline High School in Oakland. "Yes, exactly."
Davis was an innovator as a coach, inventing the bump-and-run defense with cornerbacks Willie Brown and Kent McCloughan. It would be so successful that the National Football League later regulated the technique with the five-yard bump rule.
He also implemented what he called "the vertical passing game," and added fleet running back Clem Daniels into the mix by sending him deep against linebackers who could not cover him.
Mark Kriegel sat down with the iconic Oakland owner back in 2009. Relive the moment right here.Davis also converted running backs Billy Cannon, the 1961 Heisman Trophy winner, and Hewritt Dixon into tight ends and also sent them deep down the field.
"I knew in our first meeting with Al (in 1963) that we were going to be better," said quarterback Tom Flores, who later coached the Raiders to two of their three Super Bowl victories.
"He was showing me things on the blackboard that we were going to do and pretty soon I started smiling. It was a quarterback's dream."
The Raiders were 23-16-3 in three seasons with Davis as coach, but soon he was needed for greater things in the grand scheme of the changing pro football landscape.
The upstart American Football League was in a battle with the established NFL and his rivals in the new league saw what an opponent Davis could be and elected him commissioner.
What was known as the "Pro Football War" was all but over when Davis implemented a strategy of signing away some of the NFL's top quarterbacks, starting with John Brodie of the San Francisco 49ers and Roman Gabriel of the Los Angeles Rams, in addition to other top stars, such as tight end Mike Ditka of the Chicago Bears.
"He brought the NFL to its knees and to the bargaining table," Stirling said. "We were on the verge of signing another dozen or so of their top players."
Another battle won, Davis returned to the Raiders as part owner and later wrested control of the team from Wayne Valley in a rather ugly court case.
Davis had other infamous battles with NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, San Diego Chargers owner Eugene Klein and even some of his own players, such as Kenny Stabler and Marcus Allen.
The record shows that Davis did pretty well in those fights too, but it bothered him that there was one he could never win.
"Al, he had a vendetta against death," said center Jim Otto, who was the cornerstone of the Raiders franchise when it was established in 1960. "It was as strong or stronger as his passion for football."
When Davis' wife, Carol, was in a coma for 17 days in 1979, he took up residence in the hospital, sleeping on a cot in a utility closet so he could be with her night and day. He held her hand, talked to her and read her letters day and night.
After Carol emerged from the coma there are those who will tell you that Davis believed he kept her alive.
When Don McMahon, the former major league pitcher and his friend from their days at Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, died in 1987, Davis was almost beside himself.
"We've dominated almost everything else, other than this death thing," Davis said. "We've got to figure this one out."
Davis became more obsessed with death, or fighting against it, as some of his close friends, including Dr. Robert Albo and Bill Walsh, died in recent years. He believed if you fought hard there was a chance to stay alive.
As he did in so many other areas, Davis fought hard against the blood disease that ravaged his body over the last few years and limited him to a walker as he attended practice and games.
He was even preparing to go to the Raiders' game in Houston when the end came.
Tom LaMarre is a senior writer for The Sports Xchange and covered the Raiders for the Oakland Tribune from 1971-77.

Muroid rodents are composed of a wide range of species characterized by extensive karyotypic evolution. Even if this group includes such important laboratory animal models as domestic mouse (Mus musculus), Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus), and golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus), comparative cytogenetic studies between rodents are difficult due to the characteristic rapid karyotypic evolution. Molecular cytogenetic methods can help resolve problems of comparing muroid chromosomes. Here, we used cross-species comparative multicolour banding with probes obtained from mouse chromosomes 3, 6, 18, and 19 to study the karyotypes of nine muroid species from the three subfamilies Murinae, Cricetinae, and Arvicolinae. Results from multicolour banding with these murine probes (mcb) allowed us to improve the comparative homology maps between these species and to obtain new insights into their karyotypic evolution. We identified evolutionary conserved chromosomal breakpoints and revealed four previously unrecognized homologous segments, four inversions, and 14 evolutionary new centromeres in the nine muroid species studied. We found Mus apomorphic rearrangements, not seen in other muroids, and defined several subfamily specific chromosome breaks, characteristic for Arvicolinae and Cricetinae. We show that mcb libraries are an effective tool both for the cytogenetic characterisation of important laboratory models such as the rat and hamster as well as elucidating the complex phylogenomics relationships of muroids.

Someone has to tell the Post that things do not become true just because Microsoft or some other major corporation assert them. This problem pervades an article on efforts by the entertainment industry to force Internet companies to help them police their copyrights.
The article refers to the material in question as being pirated. This is in fact in dispute. In many cases, for example countries where the specific material involved is not protected by national copyright law, it is wrong to claim that the material is "pirated." It is simply unauthorized. The Post should have used this term throughout the piece, since it has certainly has no reason whatsoever to believe that all the material in question will in fact have been posted in violation of copyright.
It would have been helpful to include some economic analysis in this piece. It tells readers that the industry groups claim that they are losing $135 billion a year due to the circulation of unauthorized copies of their work. If this is true, under standard economic assumptions, the loss to consumers from enforcing copyrights would likely be several times larger.
It is also striking that the Post did not use the dichotomy of big government versus the market that it so often throws into its news articles. In this case, we are discussing a law that involves really big government, since it will impose major sanctions on companies that don't in effect act as agents of the government in policing what people post on the web.
In an article noting that some Republican members of the supercommittee are willing to raise taxes, the Washington Post told readers that Republicans might be willing to make concessions on taxes because they are:
"Party leaders wary of Congress's dismal approval ratings are loath to appear incapable of deficit reduction."
The packages that have been talked about in the media include cuts to Social Security and Medicare, both of which are likely to be highly unpopular. It is not clear that members of Congress who are concerned about their approval ratings would go this route. However there is little doubt that the Washington Post (in both its editorial and news sections) will warmly praise members of Congress for reaching an agreement as will other major news outlets.
The NYT had an interesting piece discussing the large number of college graduates who have moved back home with their parents because they have been unable to find jobs. While this is an important economic and social trend, some of the numbers are clearly not right.
For example, it cites Mark Zandi as saying that the average new household adds $145,000 in output to the economy. The median household income is approximately $50,000. Most new households have incomes that are well below the median, since they are typically young people living alone. Even if the expenses associated with forming a household cause them to spend beyond their income, it would take an enormous burst of spending and a huge multiplier to get to $145,000. (Remember, this only counts the spending associated with moving into a new apartment or house, not spending on food, transportation, or health care that is largely independent of living in a separate household.)
The article also cites Zandi as estimating the pent-up demand for new households at 1.1 million which he puts as roughly equal to the number of vacant units for rent or sale. The Census Bureau reports that there are 7.2 million vacant units for sale or rent, with another 7.2 million vacant units being held off the market for a variety of reasons.
Way back in 2008 much of the world sank into recession because housing bubbles in the United States, the UK, Ireland, Spain and elsewhere began to deflate. This ended a boom in construction and caused consumption to plunge as the housing wealth that provided its foundation vanished.
Unfortunately, memories at the NYT are apparently weak. It told readers today:
"To the roster of pain inflicted by the European debt crisis, add this: rising and persistent joblessness among young Britons."
Of course, the European debt crisis is very much secondary in this story. The proximate cause of the high unemployment in the UK is the decision of the government to impose a harsh austerity package involving cuts in spending and higher taxes. This was a decision by the government, it was not in any way a necessary result of the UK's debt burden as the article implies. Financial markets were willing to lend the UK money at very low interest rates.
Also, the cause of the "debt crisis" was the economic collapse that followed the bursting of the housing bubble. Most of the countries now facing serious problems paying their debt had modest budget deficits or even surpluses in the years prior to the collapse of the bubble.
The NYT also appears to be suffering from the millions/billions confusion that is also afflicting NPR. It told readers:
"Reducing youth unemployment by one percentage point could save £2 million, or $3.2 million, by avoiding youth crime, according to research by the Center for Economic Performance, a research concern at the London School of Economics and Political Science."
Presumably the numbers in this research were billions, not millions. If in fact they were millions, the results were too trivial to bother writing up.
Who can blame him, after all it is hard to get news when you're buried away in the middle of Washington, DC. Samuelson claims that Europe can't bail itself out. He calls on the IMF to come to the rescue -- at the cost of dismantling Europe's welfare state.
Of course there is nothing wrong with Europe's welfare state, as everyone who bothers to look at the data knows. In fact the troubled countries have the weakest welfare states in Europe. The ones with the strongest welfare states, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Germany, are doing relatively well.
It is also the case that Europe has plenty of money to bail itself out, it just needs the European Central Bank (ECB) to backstop the debt of the troubled economies. But the folks at Fox on 15th Street, where the guiding philosophy is that a dollar in a worker's pocket is a dollar that could be in a rich person's pocket, are so committed to destroying the welfare state that they are prepared to pretend that the ECB does not exist.
The point here is that the problems facing the euro zone today are primarily demand side. If someone from Mars landed in the euro zone with 600 billion euros (roughly 6 percent of GDP) and started spending them all over the place, the main effect would be to increase demand and employment. This would raise tax revenue and reduce transfer payments, alleviating the budget problems facing euro zone countries.
By contrast, the burden of an excessive welfare state is a supply side story. The generosity of benefits discourages people from working, reducing the supply of labor. In addition, the money dished out by governments in benefits creates excess demand, leading to inflation. This story does not at all describe the euro zone countries at present.
The NYT had a misleading piece contrasting the success of Germany with the difficulties facing the countries of southern Europe. The problem is not just a question of southern European countries emulating Germany, as the article implies. The problem is that Germany has acted to shut off the adjustment mechanisms that would allow southern Europe to accomplish this task
At the moment, southern Europe is not competitive with Germany, which is the cause of its large trade deficits. If these countries were not in the euro, they would simply devalue their currency. However, the euro rules out this option to restoring competitiveness.
The alternative would be to have a lower inflation rate than Germany. However, because the European Central Bank (ECB) has committed to sustaining an inflation rate of just 2.0 percent in the euro zone as a whole, there is very little that the southern countries can gain by having a lower positive inflation rate. Their only route within the euro to regaining competitiveness is to have a period of deflation. This is incredibly costly in terms of high unemployment and lost output. (Latvia is going this route now and has an unemployment rate in the high teens, after earlier hitting 20 percent.)
The German position on the heavily indebted southern countries is absurd. It wants to maintain its huge trade surplus with these countries, while still insisting that they make good on their debts. This is like a store owner insisting that his customers keep buying more from him, while still paying off their debts. This is not just a question of southern Europeans being resentful or jealous, Germany is asking for something that is impossible.
The article also likely misled many readers on Germany's growth, telling readers that it grew 0.5 percent in the third quarter. This number is a quarterly growth rate. It is standard in the United States to express growth as an annual rate. Germany's growth in the third quarter was approximately 2.0 percent at an annual rate.
Morning Edition did a three part series featuring segments on Ayn Rand, Friedrich Hayek, and John Maynard Keynes. In addition to the fact that two of these three are extreme conservatives, the pieces create a false symmetry on the influence of these three thinkers.
Keynes' work provides the basis for modern macroeconomics. The vast majority of the economics profession works within a framework that was established by Keynes, regardless of their political leanings. The influence of Rand and Hayek is nowhere near comparable.
Most major news outlets have done pieces touting the jobs boom associated with fracking. The story goes that allowing this relatively new form of drilling will both lower energy prices in the United States and also lead to an employment boom in the regions where the drilling takes place. And, how do we know there will be a boom? Well, the industry said so.
It turns out that the employment boom ain't all it is cracked up to be. The environmental group, Food and Water Watch, released a report yesterday that examined job projections for New York, which is considering ending a ban on fracking. The industry had projected that fracking in western New York would create more than 60,000 new jobs. Food and Water watch looked at the experience in the adjacent Pennsylvania counties, which allow fracking, and concluded that the potential job gains for New York are one-tenth as large, or about 6,000. And, this is before taking account of any jobs that may be lost due to environmental damage (e.g. in tourism associated with fishing, hunting, and camping).
In short, for these counties there is not much of an issue of jobs versus the environment. The number of potential jobs at stake are relatively few and most are likely to go to people living outside the region in any case.
[Disclosure: The researcher for this report was my wife, Helene Jorgensen.]
That's the question millions are asking. In an article on the supercommittee this morning we find a sentence like:
"Republicans indicated a willingness to do so [raise more revenue], aides said, but only in exchange for additional reductions to soaring Social Security and Medicare costs (emphasis added)."
A real newspaper would have just said that the Republicans were demanding "additional reductions in Social Security and Medicare costs." That would provide the same information as the Post's sentence in less space and without the editorializing.

I currently reside in Richmond, VA. I enjoy all aspects of food, reading and traveling.
Patrick has completed online and offline ID verification.
Una experiencia gratificante,muy amables,atentos y cordiales.
Patrick (his brother) seemed to be a very gracious and responsible guest. We connected a number of times, and he indicated that staying at our home was working well as a base for the rationale that brought him and a friend to Big Sky for a two-week period.
Patrick is a excellent, considerate, organized guest. He and his friend rented my Williamsburg apt for three nights and took great care of the place. He also has a very friendly, calm and sweet dog named Gus. I highly recommend all of them.
patrick is a very interesting young man,he has travelled far and wide and had some great stories,and the images on his PC were great,
Patrick is a Great Guest, friendly, respectfull and very interesting. It was a realy a pleasure to host and share some time with Patrick. I will be happy to see him again.
Patrick and his lovely girlfriend were fantastic guests. They kept a very busy schedule and I didn't see them much, which was kinda a bummer, because they seemed like cool people to get to know! They left everything impeccable and I hope that they come back to visit us. If you get a chance to host them....definitely d(phone number hidden)Sandra and ABEL!
Patrick and Alex both are straightforward and wonderful individuals. They get along easily and are very appreciative. They loved and enjoyed traditional Indian food especially Maharashtra delicacies that were served to them including Indian Tea (Chai). We were happy to have them stay at our facility during their stay in Mumbai. --Raj

Comments about Sortainer Drawer Divider for Small Drawers 10-Pack:
Dividers are a needed accesory to the Festool 12 drawer Systainer. After the purchase of the $140.00+ systainer it's not having to spend extra money, just the bother of having to order another $22.00 on extra dividers, you know on second thought it is the money. More dividers should have come standard with the systainer.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
