FCW readers share stories about dealing with the confusion that can ensue when federal and contractor employees work side by side
A former federal official once told the story of attending an interagency meeting at which everyone else who showed up worked for support contractors, not for the agencies they represented. The meeting quickly disbanded because no one had any authority to make decisions.
The good news: At least people were upfront about their affiliations.
That's not always the case, which is why the Defense Department recently made a rule that requires contractor employees to identify themselves as such in all forms of communication, whether in person, on the phone or in e-mail messages, as reported by Federal Computer Week's Matthew Weigelt.
Weigelt's sources speculated that the rule, although well intentioned, could exacerbate tensions between federal and contractor employees. Here's what readers had to say. Comments have been edited for clarity, length and style.
Upfront and PersonalYears ago, when I was working for a support contractor, I was invited to a big program status meeting on the joint project I was working on. I was one of the first people asked to introduce myself. I gave my name, company and the government office I was supporting. The other contractors followed suit. Later on, someone went to the program manager and complained loudly and long that they never knew that many of the people they were dealing with were contractors. Even though we all wore badges, many of the contractors slipped it in their shirt pocket — probably not intentional, just to keep it out of the way. I believe in being a team, but there is a need to know who you are dealing with and there have to be clear lines of responsibility.— Liz, Maryland
No Big DealOur agency already requires contractors to identify themselves. And although it was expected to cause a ripple in the working relationship, it really hasn't affected anything. A year later, it's business as usual. One advantage is that competing contractors who work in the same bureau are well aware of who they are communicating with, so they do not reveal privileged information to the competition.— Wassman, Washington, D.C.
Spies Among UsAs a contractor, I support this. Many times I work with people in the government who I think are federal employees but later find out they are contractors working on the inside. These inside contractors have a tendency to take information that you give them and use it to scoop work. I've had this happen before, so my approach is simple. I find out who is truly in government and who is not, and I don't tell the contractors anything unless it is within the scope of work. — Supportive
What Next?In the facilities where I've worked, the government badges are blue and the contractor badges are green. Contractors identified themselves as such in e-mail and were required to answer the phone with the last four digits of the phone number followed by "contractor." If given all of that, government personnel still can't tell the difference, then I'm stumped. — Anonymous

As previously reported, Sigur Rós frontman and solo artist Jónsi has scored Cameron Crowe's literally titled new film We Bought a Zoo, which tells the story of a family that moves to a rural area to help resurrect a flailing zoo.
The soundtrack will be released December 13 through Columbia. The score includes two full new tracks from Jónsi: "Ævin Endar" and "Gathering Stories", the latter a collaboration with Crowe himself. Also included are several pieces of the score, and reworked versions of songs from Jónsi's 2010 solo album, along with Sigur Rós's "Hoppipolla". Nico Muhly contributed orchestral arrangements.

The Playlist reports (and a publicist confirms) that Sigur Rós frontman and solo artist Jónsi will score We Bought a Zoo, the forthcoming film from Almost Famous/Say Anything director Cameron Crowe. Based on Benjamin Mee's memoir, the film stars Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church, and Elle Fanning. (Elle Fanning is apparently in pretty much everything these days.)

Abeano points out that UK noise mongers Fuck Buttons' remix of "Tornado", a cut from Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi's solo album, last year's Go, has been made available for streaming on Jónsi's Soundcloud. The remix originally saw release in April as part of the Record Store Day remix EP Go Out. Listen above-- and of all the Jónsi songs, doesn't it make perfect sense that Fuck Buttons chose to remix the one that's called "Tornado"?
Jónsi Releases Another Live Video/Album
By Larry Fitzmaurice on February 1, 2011 at 3:15 p.m. EST
Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi already released a document of his solo live show in the form of last year's Go Live-- but that's not stopping him from putting out another release in the same vein.
The concert film Jónsi Live at the Wiltern is available now on iTunes in audio and video form for folks in the U.S. and Canada. It was directed by Dean DeBlois, who also helmed the Sigur Rós doc Heima as well as last year's animated feature How to Train Your Dragon (to which Jónsi contributed the song "Sticks and Stones").

Couple hopes to see equal treatmentPublished 4:28am Monday, May 13, 2013 Updated 6:32am Monday, May 13, 2013
Dennis Martz and Dave Messenger, both of Fergus Falls, have been a couple for 31 years. They own a home and work together at Flamingo Glass.
Though the life they share without a piece of paper proclaiming a marriage between them has become the norm for the pair, they think it's a good thing that gay marriage in Minnesota took another step toward becoming a reality Thursday.
"Slavery was a bad thing and we had to get over it," Martz said. "You just have to treat people like people. What they do in their bedroom doesn't matter."
The Minnesota House passed a measure in support of gay marriage with a 75-59 vote Thursday, which would allow same-sex weddings starting Aug. 1. The state Senate is scheduled to vote on the bill Monday, and leaders expect it to pas there, too. Gov. Mark Dayton has pledged to sign it into law as well.
Final passage of the bill would make Minnesota the 12th state in the country to allow gay couples to marry. It would be the first in the Midwest to pass such a law in its Legislature.
Even though the House vote Thursday was a step in the right direction for gay marriage supporters, Messenger was still cautious.
"I guess until it goes through completely, I'm not getting my hopes up," Messenger said. "If it would go through and people can actually get married, I just hope that other rights come with it."
He referred to rights for gay couples at the federal level, for things like insurance, retirement and taxes. Both men said their insurance company and investment broker considers them a couple, however.
Martz agreed with the federal rights issue. While he's absolutely glad the bill cleared the hurdle in the House, there's still work to be done.
"I think it's absolutely wonderful, other than it doesn't mean a lot until it gets through federal," Martz said. "The Supreme Court really needs to do their job."
Martz and Messenger know other people who've traveled to other states to marry. They haven't decided yet if they will tie the knot, should it become legal in Minnesota. It's something they will have to sit down and discuss, Messenger said.
"After 31 years, you're pretty much there already," Messenger said. "You just don't have the paper."
Martz wouldn't rush into anything, and it might just be a matter of going to the justice of the peace, he said.
Unlike many other same-sex couples out there, Martz and Messenger have enjoyed support and acceptance from those around them in Fergus Falls. Messenger said he feels lucky to have that, and it's too bad that others have a harder time. It may be a minority, but "all minorities have the right to be accepted," he said.
"That's an important issue, too, just being accepted for who you are," Messenger said. "It's the person that's the important part."
For those who oppose gay marriage, Messenger said it might be that they need to examine their own lives. A lot of people don't realize it right away, but they might have a family member who is gay, Messenger said.
"And you just don't decide to be gay or straight, it just happens," Martz said. "We pay as many taxes as everybody else and therefore, we should be treated equally."Tags: gay marriage

This raid says a lot of things but it certainly doesn't say, "We care about you." "We want you to succeed." "We respect your neighborhood."
The police are a frequent presence at Beecher Terrace, okay, I am aware. But they're typically uniformed LMPD officers in cruisers which is a far cry from these men in commando gear who look like they're about to carry out a Special Forces raid and shoot up the neighborhood.

Valentine's Day is just one lousy day a year! It's business as usual in the romance department for 364 days and then – BOOM – we're supposed to suddenly become frantically romantic for 24 hours, cramming in all the love, sex, seduction, chocolate, poetry, snuggling – you name it – into one measly, gone-in-a-flash day.
Well I say no more!
This year, I'm introducing my 69-day Valentine's Season! Let's take the pressure off, shall we? It's absurd to think we could actually make meaningful changes to our intimate lives in one day, one week, or even one month! Sixty-nine days, give or take, is the amount of time it takes to change habits, and create new patterns as a couple. Or, to deepen your self-love to attract the right partner if you're single.
In my book Neuroloveology, I talk a lot about the many exercises couples and singles can do to change their habits and create new rituals that enrich their lives and give positive energy back to their relationships. I challenge you to try one of these techniques and kick start your Valentine's season now, and discover how you can make your love life better.
Passion Wheel (couples) / Perspective (singles)
For couples, I encourage you to create your own Passion Wheel. Take a large piece of paper and draw a circle, then divide the circle into 8, 10 or 12 pieces to create a pie chart. Take turns writing a romantic or sexual activity in each 'pie slice.' Some examples would be: take a bubble bath together; engage in oral sex, kiss passionately, give or receive a sensual massage etc. Then decide on the number of times you will spin the wheel each week, and stick to it! Ideally every day, but even if you just spin the wheel once week, you will be brought closer together by the mere act of talking about your desires and acting on them.
For singles I recommend starting a gratitude journal to record all the positive things in your life, which ignites an optimistic attitude around you and attracts love. Then, try this exercise from Marelisa Fabrega in her book Daring to Live Life Fully. When something negative happens to you, instead of wallowing, ask yourself these questions: What's good about this? How can I learn from this? How can I benefit from this? And finally, Is there something about this situation that I can be grateful for? Watch the results pour in.
Loveology Loop (for both couples & singles)
This is a very simple exercise that has powerful results. Couples that I've instructed to do this report huge changes in their habits. It's simply this: identify a trigger in your life (such as the phone ringing around bedtime) that leads to a negative result (your wife is too tired for sex when you finally get off the phone), and then replace the behavior that the trigger causes (answering the phone) with a new behavior (kissing your wife). It sounds too good to be true – I can hear you saying, "But what if it's an important call?" – but if you can't let go of nighttime business calls for a 69-day Valentine's Season, then you're not going to have more sex.
For singles, this works the same way. If your trigger is a rejection on an on-line dating site and this causes you to run for the freezer and eat a pint of mint chocolate chip, the result will likely be negative feelings toward yourself and a bummer night. But what if you change that behavior and do something healthy for yourself instead – like going for a walk, or calling a friend – then your result will be positive. It works like a charm.
Mission Statements (for couples & singles)
Successful businesses have mission statements. Why shouldn't successful couples? Team up and write down your hopes and dreams with your partner. Discover the desires you share, the goals you have in common and the future plans you want to make. This is a fantastic way to re-energize a relationship and get back on the same page.
For singles, do the same thing for yourself. List your goals for your work, romance and fun. Write down what kind of partner you're looking for, what you plan to bring to the table, and what you expect your partner to bring. Don't worry, no one but you is going to read this, so have fun with it and don't sensor yourself.
At the end of your 69-day Valentine's Season, I predict you will have discovered many new things about your partner. Couples whom I've counseled have reported everything from learning their husband loves dancing to discovering their wife's G-spot. And single people reap tremendous rewards from creating positive habits and practicing gratitude.
Feel free to share with Sexpert.com how your Valentine's Season played out! We'd love to hear from you. And for a special treat, watch this video to see what celebrities are giving and receiving for Valentine's season!

Would be nice if it had 5V for one rail AND 3.3V for the other. Also, what about same output pins at the other two corners so it sits flat on the breadboard?

I loved reading the book in high school in English class and watched the older version of this movie. When this one came out with Leonardo Dicaprio I just had to see it! I loved it I just knew I had to own it. Some people really don't like him as an actor but I think he's great ever since I've seen him in Titanic. I just had to own this film. I'd recommend this movie to any one who's a fan of the book.
Having never read "The Great Gatsby" I wasn't sure what to expect. But, I have say, this was a really cool depiction of pre-depression New York City. Complete with over-the-top wealth & crushing poverty. Set against the backdrop of "love-lost" and the extent one man goes to to reclaim it.
The only thing i actually liked about this meandering epic of extremist greed promotion,is the truth coming out from some of the extremely narcissistic and arrogant wealthy characters,talking about how they really feel about my race and the plans they have for my race period.
Very Baz Lurhman. A movie like this grows on you- had mixed feelings the first time seeing it (my mom and sister hated it). I now really like it; though ridiculous and over the top at the start, it is possible to draw the lines between two worlds -the 20s and today-characterized by prosperity, high hopes, chaos and hysteria, and the desire to fulfill the American Dream. At least four stars:)
This film exceeded expectations.
Unlike the 1970s adaption, Baz Luhrman knows how to throw a grand party and make you feel connected to the characters. The castings fit the age and appearance of the characters and the visual and auditory aspects (very fast motion camera in car scenes, spectacular parties, and the insertion of modern music remixed with classical music) makes the audience feel like a part of the era. Also, Nick seems more sympathetic and reliable with their slight tweak to his character's development.
Additionally, Luhrman chose to incorporate all of the special symbolic details (such as Owl Eyes in the library, the pink suit, the "Can't Repeat the Past" quote, etc) that make the story so special. You probably won't like the ending, but hey, Luhrman loves tragedies.
I was dubious about watching this movie at all because F. Scott Fitzgerald's book is so special. I have been agreeably surprised by the cast, the sets and the interpretation. Baz Luhrmann has done a very good job.
Disappointed with this movie...didn't finish it. Really bad.
Contrived version and a disappointment, but not surprising. Decaprio is a great actor that never seems to have been placed in a good film, he is over-qualified for the films he stars in. This version of The Great Gatsby with Decaprio has mostly a horrible music score, and a casting that can act but that do not fit the parts, many of the females look like they wear hair pieces, and Daisy even though slim, is too fat and non-elegant looking for the part. Uuugh, how can any director mess a film up like this?
Completely missed the mark, and the entire point of the book. Save yourself 3 hours and the headache from watching the weird and unneccesary CGI.
Great sets and good cast. I just never "got" Gatsby and never liked the story but movie was worth watching any way.
QuotesAdd a Quote
He looked at you and understood you in the way that you wanted to be understood.
Jordan Baker (of Gatsby): "He's an Oxford man." Tom Buchanan: "Like hell he is! He wears a goddamned pink suit!"
Nick Carraway: Stocks reached record peaks, and Wall Street boomed a steady golden roar. The parties were bigger, the shows were broader, the buildings were higher, the models were looser, and the ban on alcohol had backfired. Making the liquor cheaper. Wall Street was luring the young and ambitious, and I was one of them.
Here lies the center of the Gatsby's madness: Nick Carraway: You can't repeat the past.
Jay Gatsby: Can't repeat the past?
Nick Carraway: No...
Jay Gatsby: Why, of course you can... of course you can.

Gary Johnson Is Liberty Movements Last Hope For The White HouseSubmitted by VoteLibertarian2012 on Fri, 06/15/2012 - 06:01
Like Texas Representative Ron Paul, Johnson is trying to tap into some voters' rising anxiety over a soaring U.S. government deficit and concerns that Washington has too much of a role in Americans' lives.
He is likely to be on the ballot in all 50 states and has qualified to receive matching campaign funds from the U.S. government. Most significantly, he appears to be picking up enough support in the western United States to affect the battle between Obama and Romney
Johnson, 59, is the Libertarian Party's nominee for president and, by most measures, a fringe candidate. He wants to cut the U.S. government's budget by a whopping 43 percent and legalize marijuana, and he struggles to persuade pollsters to even include him in their surveys of voters. In a campaign in which the two main contenders and their allies could raise nearly $1 billion each, Johnson has raised a little more than $800,000 through the end of April.
But Johnson, who left the Republican Party in December after his presidential bid could not get traction there, has entered the summer campaign season carrying just enough weight to be a factor in the fall.
- Login to post comments
How can people vote this down?
If Ron Paul does not get the nomination, and we are all working hard towards that goal, we'll have Gary Johnson on the ballot. Absent voting fraud, which is a big ask, Johnson could poll 10% plus and that would utterly gut the GOP Politburo. The last thing they want is a significant Libertarian constituency.
Don't compare Johnson with Ron Paul. Accept the fact that he is a credible candidate who could give us an opportunity to send a strong message to the statists and neocons. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Plano TX
You mean Mitt's last hope of dividing us.
But it's too late. Benton & Olson no longer call the shots.
Even The Campaign Are Saying Paul Cannot Win The Nomination
I am not relying on one person, i.e - Ron Paul. The Liberty Movement is far bigger than Ron Paul and it extends to every Libertarian out there.

No one is thinking about the Astros. They had their jaunt in the headlines this month, throwing a combined $54 million to free agents Jed Lowrie, Luke Gregerson and Pat Neshek. Spending like that hasn't been seen around here since Drayton McLane rode off, and for Astros fans, it was celebrated. But the industry-wide glow didn't […] [Read More]
Jeff Luhnow says Marwin Gonzalez could be starter at third
With his shortstop in hand, Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow is leaving the door open at third base. "Matt Dominguez has a chance to be a very good player," Luhnow said recently. "Two years ago, he proved that. Last year, he slid back a little bit. We're going to give him every opportunity to win […] [Read More]
Minute Maid's dimensions suit Jed Lowrie well
The seven-foot wall in right field is calling. New Astros shortstop Jed Lowrie is particularly comfortable at Minute Maid Park. In 2012, when he last was a member of the team, he hit .262 with a .356 on-base percentage and .500 slugging percentage. He also had nine home runs in just 47 games, 45 of […] [Read More]

Alfred Hitchcock Presents
Trivia, Quotes, Notes and Allusions
Quotes (256)
In the scene in which Carl is first driving with his wife, the scenery behind them through the rear window shows a white VW parked alongside the curb, and certain storefronts through the front window. When the scene shows a lapse of time and then the two of them still driving, the exact same white VW is visible behind them and the same storefronts with the same names are seen again through the front window.
Elsa: You know, I may be a woman of hidden talents. Carl: And some not so hidden.
Carl: Practicing nine hours a day before the age of ten. It might make a great ballerina, I suppose, but I'm afraid it cut you off from the rest of the world, sweetheart.
(Opening Narration) Alfred Hitchcock: Good evening. I'm Alfred Hitchcock. And tonight, I'm presenting the first in a series of stories of suspense and mystery, called oddly enough, "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". I shall not act in these stories, but will only make appearances. Something in the nature of an accessory before and after the fact, to give the title to those of you who can't read and to tidy up afterwards for those who don't understand the endings. Tonight's play-let is really a sweet little story. It is called "Revenge". It will follow...(Alfred gets distracted and looks off camera.) Oh, dear. I see the actors won't be ready for another sixty seconds. However, thanks to our sponsor's remarkable foresight, we have a message that will fit in here nicely.
(Closing Narration) Alfred Hitchcock: Well, they were a pathetic couple. We had intended to call that one "Death of a Salesman". But there were protests from certain quarters. Naturally, Elsa's husband was caught, indicted, tried, convicted, sentenced, and paid his debts to society for taking the law into his own hands. You see, crime does not pay, not even on television. You must have a sponsor. Here is ours. After which, I'll return. (Fades to commercial) Alfred Hitchcock: That was beautifully put. In fact, after hearing that, there's nothing more I wish to add. So good night, until next week.
(Opening Narration) Alfred Hitchcock: Good evening. Have you ever had a premonition? A feeling that something dreadful was about to happen? I mention that, obviously, because tonight's play is about a young man named Kim Stanger. About his strange home coming and of the mystery he found when he arrived. Follow him, if you will, as he attempts to unravel this mystery, hindered at every step by his friends and haunted always by a vague sense of foreboding. This story is appropriately entitled "Premonition". I defy you to guess the nature of Kim Stanger's premonition, although we shall give you numerous clues in the prologue which we now present immediately.
(Closing Narration) Alfred Hitchcock: And as the cold New England sun slowly sinks behind the coroner's office, we take leave of mysterious, far-off Sheridan Falls, land of enchantment. And as the night breeze carries our little craft away from these beautiful wooded shores, we slowly turn our eyes back to the charms of television advertising and the lyrical chant of our sponsor's message, after which I'll float back. (Fades to commercial.) Alfred Hitchcock: I see it's time for our intermission. You may leave your seats if you wish and ah... have some light refreshment, chat with your friends, but please hurry back for our next play. That will be in just ah...(Looks at his wrists for a watch.) One week. Good night.
(Opening Narration) Alfred Hitchcock: (Puts a bullet in a revolver, spins the barrel, cocks it, pulls the trigger. Nothing happens. Spins the barrel, cocks the hammer, pulls the trigger, again nothing.) That's precisely why I don't care for Russian roulette. I never seem to win. There are two revolvers such as this, which play a part in tonight's story. It is what you might call a Western, although there isn't a horse to be seen. We intended to get horses, but they couldn't remember the lines. So you'll be seeing people instead. The cast is a very small one and threatens to become smaller with every passing moment. You see, two of the characters have threatened to eliminate each other on sight. Now, I am sure there are some of you who don't want to see them do that. So I suggest instead that you listen to our sponsor's message.
Notes (49)
This was not originally meant to be the very first episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" - Hitchcock's first plan was to begin the series with "Breakdown", starring Joseph Cotten. But he was so pleased with this segment, especially the performance of Vera Miles (whom he was trying to build into a big film star at the time), that he promoted it to series opener and rescheduled "Breakdown" to a couple of months later.
This episode was remade as the first regular Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1985) (the first four episodes originally appeared as a 2-hour movie), also titled Revenge, although in the remake the woman was raped.
This episode is based on the short story "Revenge" by Samuel Blas. This story was first published in Colliers (January 11, 1947).
Alfred Hitchcock is referring to his daughter Pat Hitchcock in the last line of the closing narration.
This episode is based on a tale related in Alexander Woollcott's While Rome Burns (1934).
This episode is based on the short story "Breakdown" by Louis Pollock. This story was first published in Colliers (June 7, 1947).
1955 Emmy Winner: This episode garnered Edward W. Williams an emmy for Best Editing of a Television Film.
Anthony Armstrong's very imaginative story garnered many copy-cat stories over the years including two written by Rod Serling for the original Twilight Zone: Mirror Image (2/26/60) and Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room (10/14/60). And, most famously perhaps, Harlan Ellison's novella "Shatterday" which was adapted as the first episode of the revised Twilight Zone on 9/27/85.
Trivia (34)
Presumably because of when this show was made, Elsa never actually tells her husband that she was raped. It's just generally assumed when she says, "He killed me." This is possibly a reference to the Renaissance period, when people believed that during an orgasm, they lost some of their life force, or died a little. In french, the words "la petite mort" mean "the little death", and this is a popular slang term for an orgasm.
The house that was used for the exterior shot of the Stanger home is the same that was used as the Barkley house in the TV series The Big Valley.
When Kim sits down to play the piano, the music that is heard very obviously does not match his hand movements on the keyboard.
Maggie tells the two men that she's making scrambled eggs, but when she sets down the platters the eggs are sunny-side-up.
When Maggie grabs the handles of the coffee pot and the skillet, she doesn't use anything to protect her from their supposed scalding heat.
The positioning of the cat in Lizzy's arms changes dramatically from one shot to the next in the scene in which she shows the reporter the door.
When the two salesmen are standing outside the butcher shop talking, you can see their breath in the air -- even though supposedly it's pushing 90 degrees and humid.
This episode features Werner Klemperer (Klopka) and John Banner (The Train Conductor), who ten years later would reunite as Col. Klink and Sgt. Shultz on the comedy Hogan's Heroes.
Allusions (6)
Doug: Hamlet, the ghost… Allusion: Doug is alluding to Shakespeare's play "Hamlet" in which a brother kills his father, and the father's ghost appears to the other son, seeking vengeance.
Hitchcock alludes to his own film The Lady Vanishes in his introduction.
Grand Guignol: Alluding to a theater known for putting on horror shows.
Charles: "All our yesterday have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more."
Charles is quoting Macbeth in Shakespeare's play of the same name.
Charlotte: Oh, who knows? Maybe I'll live to be a happy, female Methuselah.
Charlotte is alluding to the oldest man in the Bible, Methuselah, who lived to be 969 years old.
Bart: (as water is dumped over his head) What is this, the Johnstown flood?
Bart is alluding to the city of Johnstown, Pennsylvania which was flooded so badly in 1889 that it was wiped off the map. (Rebuilt, the city would be flooded again in 1977, a decade-and-a-half after this episode premiered).

Just stopping by to say Hi !. Hope you have a great weekend. I'm going to try and work out in the yard tomorrow and try and see what can be saved of my plants, between the unusual frost and low tempertures and a rogue gopher I lost about 17 bougenvilla, 2 grape plants, and a few other hanging plants. Really depressing. What ever happened to sunny Calif. Can't wait for spring and summer. Were going to a superbowl party Sunday, should be fun. Take care and stay safe.

"My save the dates turned out PERFECT, and I received so so many compliments on people who loved them. I think the magnet is such a good idea for a save the date and I could not be more pleased."
"We loved this version because we were able to select different pictures that told a story about our "Save The Date" for our wedding. We got them as magnets and are very happy with the way they turned out."
"I loved how easy it was to upload our photos on the template. The simple elegance of this save the date is what caught my eye. I wish there there was more opportunity to insert extra text without going through a designer (the only thing I would add). Overall, I'm very satisfied!!"
"I love the magnets! They came out perfect! Although for some reason I thought they were going to be a little bigger in size they were exactly what I ordered! I would definitely recommend these!"
