You should comment something on famous French "dirigisme" : if something goes really wrong, nobody knew..... Blame a single trader. If something goes well, it can only be Salkosy...
SOCGEN's travails may be attributed to complacency arising out of hubris emanating from the supposed soundness of its Risk Management system. SOCGEN was chosen as the Equity Derivatives House of the year 2007.
The present calamity may or may not be a black swan event.Given the length of time that this trader has been indulging in this gambit apparently unnoticed and the hugeness of amount involved, the bank's management looks totally inept.Can the Board put up with this Management? In addition, what is the responsibility of the Board?
I agree with darthsidious and Hsemar, the amount of rogue trading cannot be the responsibility of a single trader. This case should be investigated down to its roots to discover connivance and/or systemic failures, the health of the financial system demands it.
I do not agree with Subrabhama's tactic of using this case as a beating stick against western banking advice. Didn't the British hand the Indian state a functional banking system? What better example of Anglo Saxon interference can there be? If the IMF or other Anglo Saxon systems ask for reforms in the system there is no need to be affronted. I have been dealing with current Indian banking and it is corrupt and demeaning to borrowers and lenders, it allocates resources in an inefficient manner and is so risk averse that it has stifled any sense of entrepreneurship in India. It would be wise learn the lessons from this scandal at another systems expense and apply suitably adjusted solutions to watch out for similar stories in India.
I am from a developing country, India. For years, we have heard crticisms about our banks being weak, ill-equipped and poorly supervised. We were advised by successive teams from the IMF and related agencies that we should adopt the Anglo-Saxon model. We have indeed been making progress though in a regulated or orchestrated manner. This is mostly because of the efforts of the Reserve Bank of India which has been reviled by western critics for being too conservative, meek, et al. Luckily, India has been saved from the suprime crisis and our banks do not have exposure to derivatives. We have not had banking scandals. Indeed, we have seen stock scandals galore due to premature opening to FIIs.
Will those from the west who were claiming to build a new global financial architecture and trying to foist it on all others remain silent for some time until they clean up their scandals like the one in SG or the hundreds of others in the US buried under CDO, SIVs, etc?
A few comments from a former trader, watching from the sidelines...
Rouge traders should never be a surprise. I suspect Jerome at some point lost an amount that was over his "trading limit". Emphasis should be placed on "over". If he was stopped out at his limit, he might have lived to fight again. But if the market gapped and he lost more than his max, he probably figured that he was going to get fired anyway. He found a way to rig the system and gradually accumulated a long position as he bid to protect his long position from losses. He may have even thought this was working out ok, but in January as the DAX turned down and sellers ruled the day (remember, you always have plenty of liquidity when you are wrong) he couldn't buy enough to hold the market up. His position sizes exploded and his losses swelled. His foie gras was cooked!
Why are rouge traders no surprise? Picture 10,000 traders worldwide hitting their maximum loss level each year. Let's say 1% (100) have the market gap through their limits putting them in severe career danger. 80% of those do the right thing, but 20 try to hide their losses somehow. Half get caught and half the remaining get back to scratch. Still leaves 5 rouges out there potentially bankrupting the firms with weak controls.
Be safe out there ;)
Moi j'aime quand les techniciens, experts et autres spécialistes se plantent lamentablement. Cela les ramène à leurs dimensions humaines, ce qui n'est pas si mal.
J'espère donc que les responsables de cette banque - et de toutes les autres banques d'ailleurs - se prendront un peu moins au sérieux après cette affaire.
One "rogue" racked up $7 billion in losses? Why do I find that hard to accept. Sounds like a whole squadron of Rogues were at work, with at least the wink and nod acquiesence of management. If this poor "mentally deficient" trader is found hanging under a bridge by piano wire, that suspicion will be confirmed. It must be just like at Enron, where they had an operation called "Death Star".
So either incompetence on an unimaginable scale on the part of SocGen or Jerome is a scapegoat. In case of the latter, let's hope he is found alive & well soon... Btw, anybody check out Blackfriars Bridge lately...?
You a(re using the wrong word when describing the Société générale...the word bank should not exist in French.
It is nothing of a bank...its a vulgar commerce.....just try and open up an account with the Générale and ask for finacial help.....I can garantee you one thing...if you are just a normal and ordinary person you will get exactly zero help from such a 'bank'....
I even know of a small company doing very well and which just had a slope during one year and is now going fine again...During that 'bad' year' after havei=ing had an account with them for 10 years they closed the account simply stating we can't have people like you as customers.
What evry Frenchman should now do is withdraw from the Société Générale and invoke the same reason...we can't have a bank like yours.....
What will happen...nothing...how many people remeber that in 1993 another French 'bank' The Credit Lyonnais lost 15.7 Billion Euros......and at the time the French government just took the tax payers money to get the bank out of bankrupcy ! So no problem for these 5 Billion ! Oh the boss of the Lyonnais at the time should have been fired..but he was promoted and is now the European Bank boss...so just keep going....but never put your faith in a French bank simply because they are not banks.
I remember how the ENRON and WORLDCOM frauds coined the term EBITDA- Earnings before I tricked da auditors
After this I half expect to see banks in their earnings report set up a "Provision for rogue traders"
More to the point, to what extent did SocGen's dumping of all those securities on the Monday bear market (how much of a beating did your portfolio take?) throw fuel on the general fire beneath the market meltdown? If their actions even increased the panic by a modest percentage (and that many billion $s gushing through the door would certaily drw attention, if only by the computers) then SocGen doesn't just own world-wide investors an apology: it owes them real, hard cash for making a bad situation seem even worse.
Where was corporate risk management? , Where there any functioning internal controls at all?, No effective compliance testing and control or internal audit? It is certainly a comedy of errors along managers looking the other way. Why not? from one day to the next surprise your share holders with a bombshell like this. All managers measuring the firm's exposure should step down or sacked.
I am sure the trader knew what he was doing and his supervisors and the bank knew what he was doing ! They were trying to improve the profits for the shares holders not to mention thier own year end 6 figure sorry 7 figure bonuses. Nothing but pure greed.
Never mind software if you lose this much money, wouldn't you have to settle with your counterparty? If you didn't pay wouldn't they notice and complain? If SocGen did pay how often are they reconciling and verifying their settlements?
I would suggest that a probable cause of the problem is inherent in the selection process for traders. You take a group of high achievers with a track record of continued success and you often end up with people who have no concept of failure or personal responsibility. An anecdotal example, many years ago I was conducting executive search assignments for quants at the trading firms and banks in Chicago. A client referred her brother who had just been taken off a trading desk at First Chicago. He was bright (undergrad from Harvard and a MBA from Chicago) and in his first eight months on a trading desk had lost just over $26 million (1986 dollars). He was very angry at his employers for transferring him from trading and wanted another job on a trading desk to "provee they were wrong". If First Chicago had not taken him off the desk he swore that "I would have made the money back in weeks".
Martingale is a tern used to describe a gambling system where you keep doubling your bet after each loss untill you win back your money. In a casino that system is restricted by the house's betting limits and the size of your bankroll. With ineffective controls and very deep pockets the "rouge trader" can truly inflict some serious damage.
This is astonishing, I can't believe that this kind of trade was unnoticed by the risk management team and the software, its quite difficult to understand why such structures (which are fairly easy to valuate and register) didn't trigger any alerts and why the position of this trader (which in an article in the WSJ was quoted as "mentally limited") was so big, I think this is a blow to risk management and all the math and hype around it, but it is maybe related to something else in the chain of command, this is the real danger.
"using dark arts learned during a spell in middle management"
errrm... don't you mean middle-office?
It seems that he knew how to book trades without raising alarms or triggering any reconcilliation processes. I hope the exact details are released soon so that other banks can tighten procedures.
My guess is that there was no reconcilliation between market orders placed and the trader's internal books. What do you think?
1) A single trader
2) Plain vanilla transactions
3) The transactions would not have benefitted the trader
4) The trader, presumably, has no PR network to defend himself now.
5) There have been past instances of scapegoats in similar cases
Keeping the above in mind, I think it is imperative on the media to highlight that the bank suffered losses to that extent because of speculation rather than a rogue trader defrauding an institution.
Beyond the obvious 'WOW', I find it utterly unbelievable that no supervisor, no manager, no executive noticed at end-of-month reports significant discrepencies in rates of trades or book entries or something. Over $7B! Astonishing.
And wait, don't I remember that the French banks believe the U.S. regulators are overzealous in oversight? That would be humurous if the tangential results of this fraud were less damaging to people in multiple nations.
Da, where are the auditors?

Paris Nogari
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paris Nogari (c. 1536–1601) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period, a minor pupil of Cesare Nebbia active mainly in Rome. He painted in the library of the Vatican in a style resembling Raffaellino da Reggio and was among the painters who frescoed Santa Susanna and San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome.

Matthew McConaughey Was Possibly the Cutest Baby Ever
#TBTMatthew McConaughey just posted one of the most precious Throwback Thursday baby pictures we've seen in a long time.
Aug 7, 2014 | 05:38 PM
Before he was the famous Academy Award-winning actor that he is today, Matthew McConaughey was just a super adorable, jubilant baby—and we aren't surprised one bit.
The "Sea of Trees" star shared a TBT photo on WhoSay of him as a child, and it's maybe the cutest thing we've seen all day. I mean, just look at that glowing face. No wonder he turned into such a charmer.

Blues end Keane pursuit
Birmingham have confirmed they are no longer interested in signing Tottenham striker Robbie Keane, stating that it "would not be in the best financial interests of the club" to pursue the deal.Blues agreed a fee with Spurs for the Republic of Ireland international last week but the move has now apparently stalled over the player's wage demands.Birmingham's acting chairman Peter Pannu told the club's website bcfc.com: "I met with (manager) Alex (McLeish) and (chief scout) Paul (Montgomery) to discuss some new targets - names that we will not be mentioning at this moment in time - as we have decided that the signing of Keane would not be in the best financial interests of the club."Everyone knows he is a tremendous player but having considered the overall package (one which certainly wasn't unfair on the part of his representatives to ask for given his talent and experience), Keane's age and the length of contract we felt that financially he wasn't the best option available."This is unfortunate because Keane is a class act but supporters can rest assured we are considering other options and will pursue them where financially viable."

I told the story about how my black lab would pull kids on skates around the circle where we used to live. My mom always said, "Be good to dogs because they are people too." Do you think she knew something we don't?

Davies set to return to training
The former England Under-21 defender went under the knife in mid-September after his shoulder popped out of its socket three times in the space of a month. Davies had been expected to be recuperating until the New Year, but will return to training next week ahead of schedule. Villa boss Martin O'Neill confirmed: "Curtis has had some really good news. He saw the specialist and he has given him the OK to train. "It is one of those injuries where you wouldn't have been tempted to rush anyone back but he has been doing very well. "The original time frame was about 16 weeks but Curtis is the sort of person who is always determined to come back ahead of schedule. "I think the specialist is pretty pleased, and so are the physios here who have worked very hard with him. "He was ill for a couple of days last week but, with a wee bit of luck, should join in with us training-wise next week." Davies made the £10million switch from West Brom two years ago after initially spending a season on loan and formed an effective partnership with Martin Laursen. But he will face a battle to regain his first-team spot with O'Neill having signed Richard Dunne and James Collins in the summer, while Carlos Cuellar has impressed this season.

It's just a highback that leans to the inside instead of straight up and down. It helps the highback align with the back of your boot, especially if you have a wide stance. Here's what Burton has to say about canted highbacks:
"Experience greater control and seamless response with our canted hi-backs. Found on the majority of the line, this anatomically accurate, ergonomic design mirrors the contours of your left and right legs for a more comfortable, natural connection." |

Orendorff, Doug and Ramirez, Alex and Coakes, Elayne (2008) Validating A knowledge transfer framework in health services.

The study of knowledge transfer (KT) has been proceeding in parallel but independently in health services and in business, presenting an opportunity for synergy and sharing. This paper uses a survey of 32 empirical KT studies with their 96 uniquely named determinants of KT success to identify ten unique determinants for horizontal knowledge transfer success. These determinants, the outcome measure of Knowledge Use, and separate explicit and tacit transfer flows constitute the KT Framework, extending the work of previous KT framework authors. Our Framework was validated through a case study of the transfer of clinical practice guideline knowledge between the cardiac teams of selected Ontario hospitals, using a survey of senders and receivers developed from the KT literature. The study findings were: 8 of 10 determinants were supported by the Successful Transfer Hospitals; and 4 of 10 determinants were found to a higher degree in the Successful than non-Successful transfer hospitals. Taken together, the results show substantive support for the KT Framework determinants, indicating aggregate support of 9 of these determinants, but not the 10th - Knowledge Complexity. The transfer of tacit knowledge was found to be related to the transfer of the explicit knowledge and expressed as the transfer or recreation of resource profile and internal process tacit knowledge, where this tacit transfer did not require interactions between Sender and Receiver. This study provides managers with the building blocks to assess and improve the success rates of their knowledge transfers.

Almen Abdi, Ikechi Anya and Troy Deeney scored as Watford eased to a routine 3-0 victory over struggling Leeds at Vicarage Road on Tuesday night.
The Hornets took the lead with just nine minutes on the clock when Anya's cross picked out Abdi, who beat Jack Butland.
Anya then doubled the lead, the Scotland winger finding space at the back post to head past the unprotected Butland.
Deeney (67) then wriggled past Jason Pearce and Tom Lees to fire a shot into the roof of the net to make it 3-0 and seal the victory.

Growing Abundance
The Growing Abundance Project Inc.
Growing Abundance has grown, well, abundantly since its inception (around 2010-11), under the umbrella and support of the Castlemaine Community House (CCH).
We have harvested about 19 tonnes of fruit from back yards and orchards within the Shire, pruned countless trees and served at least 2500 meals to community groups and events. We've created the opportunity for people to choose locally sourced, ethical catering, while providing local, seasonal and nutritious food at the local high school canteen. We've distributed fruit to 14 different community organisations and schools, and delivered around 120 workshops and Food Jams. We've supported and raised awareness of local food producers through our minimum 80% local buying policy and through our Local Produce Guide and stickers. And we've raised awareness and understanding of food security and climate issues via numerous Food For Thought films, talks and discussions.
Generous funding from the Helen MacPherson Trust and the William Buckland Foundation allowed CCH to actually pay some of the people some of the hours they were working, and to further expand and consolidate the project. That funding is finally coming to a close, and we are seeking sustainable ways to become a more self-funding organisation.
Growing Abundance has now become an incorporated not for profit association, known as The Growing Abundance Project Inc. As GA enters this new, social entrepreneurial phase, we bid farewell to the safety of the CCH umbrella, and take our first excited steps out into the world on our own. There will be a transition period over the next six months as we complete our funded project at CCH.
The 2015 harvest season will run as usual, and during this transition period, our contact details remain the same for now.

Perfect location if you're looking for a quiet spot by the beach with access to your own personal kitchen and space. The owners were very nice and provided us with everything we needed.

SBA Offers Disaster Assistance To North Carolina Residents Affected By Severe Storms And Flooding
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- North Carolina residents and businesses affected by severe storms and flooding on Jan. 30 can apply for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration, SBA Administrator Karen G. Mills announced today.
(Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110909/DC65875LOGO)
Administrator Mills made the loans available in response to a letter from Gov. Pat McCrory on Feb. 12, requesting a disaster declaration by the SBA. The declaration covers Watauga County and the adjacent counties of Ashe, Avery, Caldwell and Wilkes in North Carolina and Johnson County in Tennessee.
"The SBA is strongly committed to providing the people of North Carolina with the most effective and customer-focused response possible to assist homeowners, renters, and businesses of all sizes with federal disaster loans," said Administrator Mills. "Getting businesses and communities up and running after a disaster is our highest priority at SBA."
"Loans up to $200,000 are available to homeowners to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate. Homeowners and renters are eligible for loans up to $40,000 to repair or replace damaged or destroyed personal property," said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA's Field Operations Center East in Atlanta. SBA's Customer Service Representatives are available at the Disaster Loan Outreach Center to answer questions about the disaster loan program, explain the process and help individuals complete their applications. The Center is located in the following community and is open as indicated: Watauga County Watauga County Administration Building First Floor Conference Room 111 814 West King Street Boone, NC 28607 Opening: Wednesday, Feb. 20 at 9 a.m. Hours: Wednesday, Feb. 20 – Friday, Feb. 22 from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Closing: Saturday, Feb. 23 at close of business "Businesses and non-profit organizations of any size may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory, and other business assets," said Lynn Douthett, SBA's North Carolina district director. The SBA may increase a loan up to 20 percent of the total amount of disaster damage to real estate and/or leasehold improvements, as verified by SBA, to make improvements that lessen the risk of property damage by future disasters of the same kind.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Fore Right went wiretapping this week (thanks to some help from a friend in D.C.) to listen in on swing coach Butch Harmon's cell phone as he preps for The Players Championship down in Ponte Vedra... When you've got as many honeys as he has, something like this was bound to happen eventually...
Butch: Hello?
Voice: Hey Butch.
Butch: Oh, Phil, hi... wasn't expecting to hear from you.
Phil: Just checking in after my practice round. Overall my ball striking is in good shape but still under pressure I'm fighting that occasional... (sound of club hitting ball) What was that?
Butch: What?
Phil: I heard someone hitting a golf ball.
Butch: I didn't hear anything.
Phil: Okay, anyway, I don't know if I'm just getting too loose again at the top or...
Butch: (muffled) That one looked good.
Phil: Butch?
Butch: Yeah. Go ahead, Phil.
Phil: Are you on the range with another player again?
Butch: What? No! I'm just... sitting in the hotel... watching... the Nationwide Tour. (sound of someone hitting a ball) Good one there...
Phil: What tournament is it?
Butch: Uh... the Hasbro... St. Petersburg...Classic?
Phil: No one watches the Nationwide Tour! You're with Adam again, aren't you?
Butch: I don't know what you're talking about.
Phil: Or is it Ernie?
Mens Voices: Butch...
Phil: It's Adam AND Ernie?
Butch: Look, Phil, we had a lot of fun together... you won the Players, the Deutsche Bank... LA...
Phil: I have to see you again.
Long pause.
Phil: I miss you.
Another long pause. A sound of two golf balls being hit.
Butch: Good ones there...
Phil: Butch?!
Butch: Fine. Look, I can fit you in between 1:15 and 1:30 if you want...
Phil: In half an hour?
Butch: I actually meant 1:15 AM.
Phil: I'm calling Hank Haney.

"I ordered these rehearsal dinner invitations for my son's wedding in April. They arrived timely and I was very pleased with them. The bride and groom loved them too! I will order any future invitations from Wedding Paper Divas!"
"My (future) mother-in-law and I chose this card for the rehearsal dinner.We immediately were drawn to this design! I was ordering these invites around the same time I ordered the wedding invitations, and when WPD sent me the proof of these cards, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they included an option which incorporated the same font as my invitations. I also had to call after placingmy order to change the RSVP date and they were extremely helpful and friendly. The invitations arrived in a week!"
"This invitation is great. I made a lot of changes with the wording and everyone was very helpful to get it corrected. We ordered it in the coast color (a beautiful light blue), rounded corners and a shimmer paper. The shimmer adds a more expensive look to the paper and I would highly recommend it. It is a very clean and easy to read invitation."
"Came out better than I expected! Customer service was excellent! Wanted to change picture day after I placed order and they took care of it."
"As a calligrapher who just addressed 80 envelopes for my son's wedding invitations, this was an impressive (and easy for me) way to go for the rehearsal dinner. I LOVE a square card or stationery so this was perfect. The paper quality was thick, sturdy and a beautiful modeled finish. Because the RSVP date was 2/14, I watercolored a small pink heart by the RSVP date and the card stock accepted it with no problem. I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it and use this site again."

Mark Hamill Poses with Jedi Mickey at STAR WARS Weekends
By Amy Ratcliffe on June 5, 2014
Mark Hamill is taking a break from Episode VII filming this weekend to appear at Disney's Hollywood Studios for Star Wars Weekends. It's the first time he's ever attended the event, and besides appearing in shows, signing autographs, and getting his photo taken with fans, he's revealed a tidbit about the upcoming Star Wars film. Are you ready for this secret? Luke Skywalker has a beard! Probably.
I tease, but it is intriguing since perhaps it means he's a hermit out in the deserts of Tatooine like Obi-Wan Kenobi. Or maybe he lost his razor and hasn't bothered to replace it. Either way, you can get an idea of what Episode VII Luke Skywalker will look like thanks to a photo released by Disney. Inside the Magic shared this gem by Disney photographer David Roark:
Hamill clearly still has it. Squint your eyes a little and imagine him in a dusty brown Jedi robe or even the black threads he wore in Return of the Jedi. It works, doesn't it? Even if the beard isn't for the film, we still get to see him with a lightsaber, and that's just fun.
The actor will undoubtedly get questions from fans about Episode VII this weekend, but he probably isn't allowed to say much. In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, he did at least discuss his preparation for the role and what he's seen around set: "I've altered my diet. I've started working out. There's that. But on the film itself: I toured the departments, I've looked at wardrobe, and I saw the creature shop. I went around and met all the cast people, saw the technicians working on some new things."
What kind of role do you think Luke Skywalker will have in Episode VII? I'm sort of hoping he has mouse ears. Jump to the comments and share your opinions!
HT: /Film, top photo via Kenny the Pirate
Like this picture by Phil Noto I found ages ago that I pinned on Pinterest. http://ifanboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/jedimasterskywalker_noto.jpg
Glad to see he slimmed down, now let's see with Carrie looks like.
thank god.. he looks terrific compared to how hes looked the past 20 years. this is how i envisioned an old Luke Skywalker. Better than a fat disheveled Luke
I knew they would make him get in shape for this movie..he had too as he looked really worn out like he just didn't care anymore. I like the beard a lot hope it's part of the movie look.

The best time to prepare for an emergency is before one happens. Make sure your family knows emergency phone numbers and your kids know how to place a call for help.
During an emergency, it's easy to become disoriented and upset, so you need to have all important phone numbers readily available ahead of time.
Write each phone number clearly so that it will be easy for kids to read. Use a pen with dark-colored ink or type it on the computer because pencil or light-colored ink can be harder to read when you're in a hurry or if lights are dim.
Because accidents can happen in any part of the home, make copies of the completed list and post one near every telephone in the house and on the refrigerator. Be sure to carry one with you when you are out of the house, and keep one in the car as well.
Also, consider programming some of the emergency numbers in your cell phone. In addition, make sure that people who come to the house to watch your kids (babysitters or relatives, for example) familiarize themselves with the list. If a babysitter is taking the kids out, make sure he or she also carries the list of numbers.
If you choose to create your own phone list, make sure it includes these numbers:
Your list should also include known allergies (especially to any medication), medical conditions, medications taken by family members, and insurance information for all members of the family.
If you are calling 911 from your cell phone, the dispatcher may not have precise enough information to pinpoint your location so be prepared to give detailed information about where you are (for example, address, city, cross streets, major highway, and nearest exits).
If you have a home alarm, make sure you and others in the home know how to use it to activate local emergency services (ambulance, police, fire station).
If you're planning a trip to another country, make sure you know how to get help if the need arises. It's better to be prepared and keep a list of international numbers. Lists of international emergency numbers are available online and from embassies of each country.
Even very young children can be taught how to place an emergency call for help. The most important advice is for them to stay calm and speak slowly and clearly.
To place a call to 911 and talk to the operator, kids should know:
It is also helpful for your kids to know their phone number. The dispatcher will often ask this question in case the call is disconnected. Have your kids practice by speaking into a telephone (make sure the telephone is off). Suggest a situation, such as: "Mommy's fallen down the stairs and can't get to the phone. Now what do you do?"
After your child enters the number, prompt him or her with questions that an emergency operator would ask, such as "What is your name?," "Where are you calling from?," and "What is the emergency?" Stress that the description should be short ("Mommy fell down the stairs") and that he or she should try to stay calm. Practice until your child feels comfortable.
No one wants to think about an emergency happening at home, but it's better to face that possibility than to be caught unprepared. So keep emergency numbers close by — it's a small step that could have a big payoff.

Great Hedy from Oceanside, NY– Verified Buyer I bought 2 of these and 1 of the open cabinets. They look like they are more expensive than they actually were. |
Stackable Lynda from Salisbury, NC– Verified Buyer Purchased these for paper and stuff in my husbands room. Purchased the first one and found it to be stackable so purchased a second. Put together easily just haven't figured out the hinges. Direction only had pictures and no words! |
Great Cabinet Rosanna from Corona, NY– Verified Buyer This is a great cabinet and what i like about this is the different selections you have to combine to make one great big cabinet. It was easy to assemble and fits just about anything. The only bad thing I would have to say about this is the pricing. Wish the cost was a little less. |
Love it. Xiaoyan from Encino, CA– Verified Buyer This is my second time buy. These bookcases keep my office very neat and nice looking. Easy to assemble. The doors are not glass, which is what I want. I have two toddlers who break things everywhere. |
Serves purpose Poombady from Collierville, TN– Verified Buyer A great addition to our kitchen to store china etc. the product is sturdy and matches as shown in the picture. Only complain is the instruction manual only has pictures and sometime hard to follow. Once you see it getting assembled you get a hang of it. |
Great storage unit Electra from Hudson, MA– Verified Buyer Perfect for stashing away office supplies. Attractive piece of furniture. Fits nicely under the window sill. |
Book case Bernadette from Palos hills, IL– Verified Buyer Great looking, easy to put together and easy to childproof. I would like to see it in more colors. |
very good cabinet Mark from NJ Easy to assemble and adjust doors if necessary. Color (mahogany) matched perfect with the furniture in our room. |
Not bad but won't last. Andrea from Clarence, NY– Verified Buyer The ad does not say that this is made of pressed wood chips rather than solid wood. In the future I'll be more careful in reading into the ad for what is not said. |

I am unlocking the challenge categories on my iPad but it shows all the time message 'Internet unavailable, cannot connect etc etc' but I have connection. Any ideas?
Unlock challenges
@beyond_the_infinite: Not everyone is a native English speaker. We don't have to be rude to them just because of that. He seems to be making an effort.
@883924 I am uncertain what your specific problem may be. Have you made sure your iPad isn't in airplane mode? Is your iPad allowing the app to connect to the Internet? I have heard there have been some regional issues with it. Have you made sure the settings are country United States and Language English? That seemed to be an odd glitch some people were seeing. Lastly, have you made sure it is updated to the latest version of the app?
Good luck with it.
Thanks for the reply. My iPad has Internet connection running smoothly (I'm working on safari) the game shows WB ID logged in, but when I press the challenge button it says 'could not establish connection to the Internet. Claim your rewards by establishing an Internet connection and restarting the app' it is rather strange isn't? Hope now was more clear.
@883924: Have you googled for a similar error on the game? Because that sounds like a bug that others have mentioned encountering.
@truthtellah: I tried a bit but not found something interesting. In my iPhone I have the same prob as well as in a friend's iPad... Did anybody with an iPad succeed to take the challenge rewards?
@883924: I think people have. Though, I've heard plenty of people noting issues with it, especially regional issues with it saying it can't connect. That's all I know. I hope you can figure it out.
@883924: It's referred to here by someone having connection issues with getting Batgirl. http://www.gameteep.net/injustice-gods-among-us-batgirl-connection-problem-fix/

While Virginia men's basketball fans would like to know that junior Justin Anderson will complete his college eligibility before looking toward the NBA, it's not as if coach Tony Bennett is withholding any information from them,
1. Ohio State
How Doug Doughty voted in this week's AP Top 25 poll:
Defensive end Eli Harold, one of the most-heralded prospects to join Virginia's football program during Mike London's coaching tenure, has decided to pass up his final season of college eligibility.
CHARLOTTESVILLE — Conspicuous by his absence when Virginia recognized its fourth- and fifth-year seniors Saturday was linebacker Henry Coley, one of the Cavaliers' co-captains and hardest hitters.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Virginia travelled to Florida State this weekend without enough players to field two full offensive lines, not that they needed more than five O-linemen at a time.
CHARLOTTESVILLE – You could list on one hand the number of Virginia men's basketball players over the years who have redshirted voluntarily.
1. Florida State
If you had to choose the two true freshmen who have the biggest impact for Virginia's football team this season, it would be easy: safety Quin Blanding and wide receiver Doni Dowling.
1. Florida State
Over the long term, it doesn't really matter who starts at quarterback for Virginia on Saturday against visiting Kent State.
1. Florida State
Once, it appeared that Virginia and Louisville had a pretty good rivalry going.
Here's something that doesn't make a lot of sense:
Now that Thon Maker has headed north of the border, Mamadi Diakite from the Blue Ridge School has assumed the mantle as the top in-state prospect for the men's basketball recruiting class of 2016.
While the Thon Maker era has come to a close at Carlisle School in Martinsville, basketball recruiters would be advised not to delete the directions to Carlisle from their GPS.
CHARLOTTESVILLE — While Richmond was playing its only game of the season against a higher-division opponent, you never would have known it from Stephen Barnette's performance.
Not long after hearing that Virginia had taken a basketball commitment from Iona Prep junior Ty Jerome, it occurred to me that I should call Tom Konchalski.
1. Florida State
A streak of four straight school years with at least one national championship came to an end for Virginia in 2014, but it still ranked as one of the most successful years in program history.
Here's Doughty's preseason ballot for the AP Top 25 football poll.
Two weeks after his team fell to Vanderbilt in the championship game of the College World Series, 11-year UVa baseball coach Brian O'Connor has moved on.
Virginia took a football commitment late Thursday from David Eldridge, a 6-foot, 165-pound wide receiver from Kettle Run High School in Fauquier County.
It has been interesting to follow the by-play involving George Whitfield, a quarterback "guru" who has worked with former Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas, and Hokies' receivers coach Aaron Moorhead.
To see the picks go by and not hear Morgan Moses' name being called, you had to wonder if Virginia's mammoth offensive tackle had any regrets about his decision to attend last week's NFL Draft.
Virginia finds itself in some elite recruiting company this weekend as the Cavaliers sweat out a decision by 6-foot-5 Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk from the Ukraine.
The word in recruiting circles is that quarterback prospect Nick Johns, who committed to Virginia this week, favored a program that was going to sign only one quarterback.
As disappointed as Virginia might have been when hotshot local quarterback Christian Hackenberg committed to Penn State in the winter of 2012, there was a player to be named later.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems a lot easier to get out of a letter-of-intent than it was 10 years ago.
My conversation with Joe Mantegna, who coached Virginia basketball recruit Marial Shayok at Blair Academy, was full of revelations.
As spring football practice wraps up throughout the ACC, I challenge anyone to see how many No. 1 quarterbacks they can name.
Virginia football coach Mike London created a stir Wednesday on an ACC coaches' teleconference when he indicated that he would be naming a No. 1 quarterback in the next two weeks.
Not having attended ACC Operation Basketball for several years prior to last year's session, I found myself scrambling upon receipt of the ballot for preseason order of finish and preseason player-of-the-year and all-conference selections.
Men's basketball coaches from Virginia and Virginia Tech were among the visitors Friday at Brewster Academy, a Wolfeboro, N.H., prep school that is home to one of the top uncommitted prospects in the 2014 recruiting class.
According to the basketball coaches who have spent the most time around Virginia senior Joe Harris, he couldn't have received a higher compliment than the one he was paid Sunday by Memphis coach Josh Pastner.
In search of perspective for Virginia's second ACC men's basketball championship, I called retired Lynchburg physician Dr. John Risher earlier this week.
In keeping with my belief that nothing of significance is decided in the spring, here is my prediction for the opening week of the 2014 football season.
In several good-natured exchanges with Tony Bennett in recent weeks, I have been cast as the heavy on the topic of Virginia's regular-season men's basketball championship.
1. Florida
Word that Virginia has taken a football commitment from a walk-on place-kicker got me to wondering.
It is easier fortunate or unfortunate for Mamadi Diakite that he had been in America for less than a month before he was being compared to another African, Thon Maker.
Critiques of B.J. Stith's early play at Oak Hill Academy may have caused Virginia basketball fans to doubt whether he was the second coming of his illustrious father.
By the time Virginia began ACC play, the Cavaliers had used five different starting lineups, the last of which had been the victim of a 35-point shellacking at Tennessee.
For many years, I carried around a folder with copies of The Roanoke Times Top 25 going back to 1974, only to lose track of it during a trip to Annapolis, Md., to watch one of my sons swim.
Virginia Tech's appointment of a new athletic director wasn't Frank Beamer's first exposure to Whit Babcock's family.
1. Syracuse
Clearly the most impressive aspect of Virginia's football signing class introduced Wednesday was the Cavaliers' ability to snare four of the top 10 prospects in the state.
1. Syracuse
It occurred to me earlier this week that former colleague Jack Bogaczyk might know something about new Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock.
One of the more compelling storylines for Sunday's Virginia-Pittsburgh men's basketball games will be the match-up of point guards.
In Loving Memory of
Tonya Inez Manning, 34, of Bent Mountain, passed away Sunday, March 1, 2015. She was a beloved wife and devoted mother.
Samantha Jane Buckmaster, 19 month old daughter of Laura Moore and Robert Buckmaster, of Callao, Va., passed away February 11, 2015. Funeral Service will be held at noon on Saturday, March 7, 2015, at Zion Hill Baptist Church. Arrangements by Botetourt Funeral Home, Buchanan Chapel, 540-254-3000.
