"Ordered the cards to help my granddaughter prepare for her graduation. I was very impressed with the size, quality and appearances of the card. I will surprise her with them next week and including a gold,silver and blue pen to add any final touches she may want."
"Cute card. I loved everything about it EXCEPT, my pictures weren't the best quality. They kind of had a fuzzy look to them. I also didn't like the back cover options. For example: I picked the option you put 2 pictures on the back and the spaces were kind of tiny. Like, they should just make that bigger,or make an option to make it as big/ small as you want!"
"The card itself was great quality and beautiful but this is more about the great customer service I received after a mistake with our order. When we received our announcements some small random numbers had been printed over the picture on all the cards we had ordered. After calling they easily fixed the problem, admitted it was their fault, and reordered them immediately. They even refunded our shipping costs! Best customer service I have ever experienced!"
"Classy but not formal design was perfect for what my daughter and I were looking for. Card stock very nice weight. took a while to get color adjusted right with designer but he was extremely helpful and accommodating during the process. Also adjusted photo frames to showcase photos on the back better. Took the time necessary to get them right. Card turned out fantastic and I am so happy with it!"
"I chose to have a designer help me with this project and she was fast working and did exactly what I wanted. The luster effect made this card unique. I love the modern pattern. Overall, great card!"

The 69 full-time workers and 50 part-time workers at the plant were told of the decision at a meeting last week.
The company, which makes security electronic devices, was formerly Tyco Electronics.
Its wireless division, including the Cork operation, was taken over by Harris in May.
In a statement, Harris says that following a review carried out locally the decision to phase out operations and close the Little Island plant next June, has been taken.
A redundancy package, which has been described as generous, has been agreed.
The US multi-national said the decision was taken because of existing capabilities elsewhere in the company.

Adeeb Kamal Ad-Deen
An Attempt at Luck
To Luck
I sent messages with a sharp tongue
And intensive reproach:
'You are the one who disordered my childhood
And crushed my youth
And confused my old age'.
Luck laughed, saying:
'All right
I will make of your death
An occasion full of joy and candles!'
When the unlucky man learnt to utter
His teeth came out and his words vanished!
When he learnt to walk, the roads vanished!
When he learnt to write
The word became no longer meaningful nor semi- meaningful!
When he learnt to fly, the sky disappeared!
On the ladder of luck
When I go a step up, the step collapses
And the ladder seems damned deep.
The loaf is no longer a dream
It has become a love poem
Only read in the presence of kings.
With a little ill-luck
I love you,
You have a lot of names and dates.
With much luck
You replied to my poems with stabs.
The difference between the loaf and the luck is
As weak as the spider's web.
The difference between the cloud
And childhood is nothing
For Al-Azeez's* wife stole their whiteness
And Joseph's brothers sold it for a few Dirhams.
The difference between us is nothing
Since we come from the same nothingness.
'You will be happy when you die.'
That was luck's will.
I accepted it and smiled.
Then I laughed a little
And I giggled like a crazy one at last.
* Al-Azeez was the ruler of Egypt at the time of the Pharaoh.

Mass. To Award Licenses For Medical Pot Outlets
By Jaired Crofut
State public health officials are set to award the first licenses for medical marijuana dispensaries in Massachusetts.
An announcement is expected on Friday from the state Department of Public Health, which has been reviewing applications from groups seeking to operate the dispensaries.
A law approved by voters in November 2012 allows marijuana to be used for certain medical conditions, including cancer, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.
The law allows for up to 35 outlets around Massachusetts and requires that each county in the state have at least one medical marijuana dispensary.

Consequence - Callin' Me
Artist: Consequence
Producer: Young Lord
Album: Don't Quit Your Day Job
Rapper Consequence, a former Tribe Called Quest now turned Kanye West collaborator, comes with the catchy single Callin' Me. Produced by Young Lord, the hit looks to be the first smash off of his GOOD Music debut album, Don't Quit Your Day Job. His savvy swagger and easy delivery make the song's chorus laden proclamations humerous and very believable: "Your girl keeps callin' me, and she better have my money!"

When They No Longer Believe
By KimGANEPossible on December 05, 2012
Featured Member Post
"Mom, there's something I have to tell you..."
Says my fourth grade son, very seriously, today after school. The deep breath and pursed lips told me this was going to be big.
"I know you put my presents under the tree."
"What are you talking about? We don't even have a tree yet."
"At Christmas, before, I know you're the one that puts my presents under the tree. Matthew said."
My disappointment was surely palpable. I didn't want this day to come. Had I known that last year was the last year he would believe, I would have savored it more.
I do remember thinking to myself that 2011 would likely be the last Christmas my last baby would believe in Santa Claus. Sometimes I hate being right all the time. Well, most of the time. OK, sometimes.
I took a long breath myself, stalling, trying to think of a way to convince him otherwise, "And what do you think about that?"
He thought a moment; even put his finger up to his lips, and looked skyward.
Then he threw his arms around my ample middle and rested his head on my soft breasts, because he's still that small, and said earnestly, "I just want you to keep doing it!"
He looked up at me with the smile that always melts my heart, and the love that is always in his eyes, and I felt his thank you, even if he didn't have the words to say what he was feeling.
This boy of mine, who almost wasn't.

Customer Reviews
good value with minor problems
Mary from Mansfield, OH
We just finished an expensive kitchen remodel and decided we had room for an island. We didn't want to spend too much more, so didn't want to go with a custom-made island. We purchased a black Cambridge with a black granite top. We ordered it on a Wednesday afternoon and it came by 9 the next morning! It took an entire afternoon to put together, but was not unmanageable. My husband only helped with a problem with "cam locks". I put the cam lock pins in too deep - we had to take the base apart again to allow the locks to work. (??) That issue could have been made more clear in instructions. Two small areas had to be retouched with black paint/ permanent markers would have probably worked. We bought 2 black counter stools (simple black saddle-style) to put on the plain side. We think it looks pretty good! We are happy with our purchase so far!
Pretty, well packed, but only 14.5 interior depth, not 18 as stated
S from Martinez, CA – Verified Buyer
Arrived quickly, very well packed, granite was in a wood crate. Beautiful cabinet, nice black granite, all as pictured in the website. Product details says: Cabinet Interior Depth - Front to Back: 18 inches. In actual the interior depth is only 14.5 and not 18. Please note the arrangement of the 4 door panels: the interior is split into 3 areas, and not two. The inner width of side compartments are only 10 with 7.5 opening. Thus: all my big appliances: e.g. bread machine, turkey fryer etc will not fit. I bought this island to store big stuff. Had I known that the interior depth is only 14.5 I won't buy this. Overall it is a pretty kitchen island. Too bulky to return, so I decided to keep it despite it won't serve the main planned purpose.
Great quality!
Nastassia from Miami, FL – Verified Buyer
Great quality, sturdy and looks great! My husband and his best friend put it together in a few hours; if you get the granite top you'll probably want two guys just to lift the granite on top, but I'm sure it helped with other aspects as well.
Fairly nice unit overall, but a little disappointing...
Svetlana from Fishers, IN – Verified Buyer
We purchased the white island with the black granite top, and assembly turned into a challenge. At first we thought we had some missing parts, but it turned out they sent us the wrong instructions. Naturally, we were trying to assemble it on a weekend, when they were closed, so we were on our own. The instructions served only as a guide at best, but a few hours later, my husband managed to complete the assembly. The instructions say 2 adults are required, but he had no trouble going it alone. We were a little disappointed in the quality. One of the pieces split during assembly, but the glue seems to be holding. One of the cam locks also pushed through to the surface somehow. Glue won't fix that. Finally, there is a white streak in the (black) granite. We're pretty sure it's just a natural discoloration, but it looks like a scratch or a stain. Aside from all that, it does look nice. We gave it three stars, but if it serves us well into the future, We'd go up to four.
Very Nice, but only one-sided!
Marvin Tobin from Suffolk, VA – Verified Buyer
Very nice product. Came in perfect time. Hats off to Wayfield. Pros: Beautiful Island, easy to assemble, attractive and functional. Cons: Granite Top had what appeared to be smudges, but was part of the material. The Island only faces one side! I thought Kitchen Island would be attractive on BOTH sides. It appears to be constructed to be backed up against a wall instead of in the center of a kitchen. Also.... the paint of the island is very, very strong and lasted for weeks.
kitchen island
Lynn from Churchville, NY – Verified Buyer
This island is sturdy and looks quite nice........... One thing I was happy about is that the back side was just as nice as the front although it did not have doors.
Sharlene from Springfield, PA – Verified Buyer
Looked great once put together and arrived with all the pieces but there were a lot of pieces and it did take a lot to put together. Put the finished product looks great and is excellent quality.
Center island
Vanessa from Elizabeth, NJ – Verified Buyer
Excellent. Good quality. Easy to assemble. Looks nice and modern. Changed the entire look of the kitchen.
Loving my cart.
Connie from Brooklyn, NY – Verified Buyer
I love every thing about it but there is just one thing that needs to be changed, the granite top would not lock, no matter how we tried to get it to lock it wouldn't.
Looks great!
Amanda from Saint Augustine, FL – Verified Buyer
This island looks great in our kitchen! I had a little trouble tightening everything so that it doesn't wiggle, but I finally got it! It matches its description and I'm so glad I purchased this one! Everyone who comes into our kitchen asks where we got it because it looks so nice. Great buy!

What's the state of the search industry?
This week, the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO) kicks off its second annual "State of Search Engine Marketing" survey. The survey's mission is to gather information from marketers of all sizes, and across all industries, to learn about their current SEM (define) activities and spending, as well as their planned spending for 2006. As valuable parts of the SEM ecosystem, agencies and search marketers are invited to participate.
I've been involved in the survey as both SEMPO chairman and a member of SEMPO's Research Committee, and we were very pleased with the outcome of last year's survey. We look forward to another successful survey, with your help.
Marketers want to know what practices, attitudes, best practices, and benchmarks are common within the search marketplace. The survey will go beyond gathering data. It will establish benchmarks to help the industry understand advertisers' and agencies' motivations and attitudes.
By getting a good mix of advertiser and agency participation, SEMPO will be able to share a volume of information with the community at large, benefiting us all. The more companies that participate, the more representative and accurate the survey will be.
Seize this opportunity to have make voice heard! The small investment of time to take the survey will be rewarded with early access to the results, as well as the knowledge you participated in shaping the industry. Analysts, Wall Street, and search engine representatives are eager to see the results. Analysts and the press rarely agree about current attitudes and future prospects of paid and organic search. But through this survey, marketers can share their views and preferences on several key issues and areas.
Below, some the keys issues covered in the survey and the rationale for inclusion. Many, if not all, issues pertain to nearly every search engine marketer.
Perhaps the most important questions have to do with ROI (define), profit, and the success metrics marketers and agencies use to judge SEO and other media. SEMPO is looking beyond the traditional understanding of search to deal with questions such as where branding fits in a medium in which many post-click behaviors are measurable. If you have an opinion, please share it.
I look forward to reporting what you share about your SEM efforts when responses are tallied and analyzed.
