my husband loved this ring, very classy and elegant. i was worried about the diamonds looking non-masculine, but it is quite the opposite, it made the ring even more stunning, yet still masculine. i ordered a size that was too big for my husband and overstock did an amazing job of shipping me a smaller size instantly. i will buy again from overstock after their excellent customer service experience.
This ring is sooo nice. My Husband's white gold wedding band broke, so we wanted something more durable, which is why I got him the Cobalt with diamonds. It's a gorgeous ring. He can't stop looking at it, and compared to the rings we saw at a few jewelry stores, the price was unbeatable. We are beyond satisfied.
We were impressed when we saw this ring online and even more when we received it in the mail. When my fiancé tried on his ring he said it was ver fancy, man fancy. The ring has a simple look and with the diamonds it added class to it. Many friend who saw the ring gave compliments, especially when paired with my wedding band (purchased on here too)!
I bought this ring as my husbands wedding ring. It is beautiful along with being durable. He gets many compliments on the ring.
This ring is absolutely gorgeous. The diamonds are of extreme quality and sparkle. I would definitely purchase again.
The picture looked good online but when it came, it really surprised me at how stunning it was. Great polished look. Masculine and classy. It looks like I spent much more on it. My fiancé really loves it. The only thing wrong was that it's a size to big, but that was our fault. I called overstock to see if it was possible to exchange for a smaller size and they were really polite and helpful. She said she'd do an exchange instead of a return as a courtesy. The size we need is not in stock however so we're waiting until the end of return window to see if it happens to come back in stock. If not I'll need to return it altogether and get another since our wedding is less then a month away. This ring is so nice that I hate to do that... :/
Beautiful yet masculine ring! My fiancé isn't into fancy jewelry but he really liked this ring!
Perfect for its intended purpose (GUY engagement ring)
This ring looks great in person, Glad I picked these rings!

26.01.2014 /
It was a good night out for Red Bull KTM Factory riders Taddy Blazusiak and Jonny Walker in Guadalajara, Mexico on Saturday night in Round 4 of the FIM SuperEnduro Championship. Blazusiak finished overall second and Jonny Walker took third. Taddy now has an 18-point lead in the championship with two rounds to go.
Taddy Blazusiak picked up a 1-3-2 result on the night and said: "It was a difficult night. The track only had one line and in the last race I got caught up behind Bellino. As he's not in the championship running I just let him go."
Blazusiak nabbed the holeshot on his KTM 350 EXC-F in the first of the three prestige finals and carried the advantage right through to the finish on a track that was very slippery and quite sketchy. The second final was in reverse order and he had some trouble getting through traffic. He negotiated his way through the pack to finish third and clocked the fastest lap time on the way.
Blazusiak then went out fast in the third final, grabbing the holeshot in the process. But he then got held up when Bellino went down right in front of him and he was once again in traffic. He recovered well to finish in seventh to pick up 52 points for the event, just one shy of UK rider David Knight who took victory on the night with 52. Taddy now goes into the final two rounds with an 18-point cushion on Knight.
Meanwhile Jonny Walker came away happy from the two-round competition in the Americas after a 3-2-7 finish that has pushed him up to third overall in the points.
Walker won the Superpole and set the fastest lap in his opening race. But he came unstuck in the woodpile and going over the logs in his last race and did well to fight back to overall seventh after being dead last.
Jonny Walker: "The track was quite easy tonight but we only had one line so it was difficult to pass, especially big guys like David Knight. It was great to be racing here and the crowd was awesome and I'm happy to be going away third in the championship points. Now I'm going back to the UK to concentrate on training for the next two rounds."
Homero Diaz of KTM Mexico said the some 8,000-strong crowd had given the riders enthusiastic support and their first taste of top quality SuperEnduro competition. He said local organizers were keen to discuss having the event returned to toe Americas in future.

text: A prisoner who was horribly tortured in 2002 until he agreed - at the demand of Bush torturers - to say that al-Qaeda was linked to Saddam Hussein is suddenly dead. Several weeks ago, Human Rights Watch investigators discovered the missing inmate and talked to him. He had been secretly transferred by the administration to a prison in Libya after having been held by the CIA both in secret "black hole prisons" and in Egypt. Under conditions of extreme torture, the prisoner, Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi, agreed in 2002 to supply the Bush-ordered interrogators what they sought as a political cover for Bush's marketing of the pending war of aggression against Iraq. Mr. Libi agreed to tell them whatever they wanted in exchange for an end to the torture. The now famous Torture Memos providing legal cover for the torture were written at the same time starting in the summer of 2002. Libi's tortured and knowingly fabricated testimony was the source of information used by Bush to sell the war to the U.S. Senate, and the source for Colin Powell's bogus and lying presentation to the United Nations in 2003. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice are now running around saying that the torture regime "protected the country from terrorist attack." But the torture was used for the personal political goals of Bush and Cheney: namely, to sell their Iraq invasion to a very skeptical and disbelieving country. Having been discovered by human rights investigators two weeks ago, Mr. Libi's story coincided with the release of the Torture Memos and the growing clamor for criminal prosecutions of Bush officials. His testimony is the smoking gun that would reveal that the torture regime was not for "national security" but for the personal political aims of Bush and Cheney. He was Exhibit A in the indictment that alleges that tortured confessions and the contrived legal justifications of torture set up by Justice Department lawyers in July/August 2002 were central to the launch of the war against Iraq. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died and tens of thousands of U.S. service members have either been killed or badly wounded in a war that was based on lies fortified and promoted by the most sadistic torture. Mr. Libi is suddenly dead. A Libyan "newspaper source" says that his death is an apparent suicide. His friends don't believe that. We are building a movement for the appointment of a Special Prosecutor. This is not a political choice. It is a legal imperative. Mr. Libi's death must be the first business of the investigation. When other prisoners who had been kept at secret sites were sent to Guantanamo, the Bush administration and the CIA intentionally kept Mr. Libi from being part of that transfer. Mr. Libi was publicly stating that the Iraq-al-Qaeda links attributed to him from his torture sessions were not true. "Who was the beneficiary" from his death? Why was he spirited away by the Bush administration to hidden foreign prisons after he recanted his tortured testimony and revealed that he was forced to make false statements about Iraq under torture? IndictBushNow.org is joining with the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund and the ANSWER Coalition to demand that the truth be told. We have filed a Freedom of Information Act Request (FOIA) with the CIA, Department of Defense, Department of State and other agencies to reveal information in their possession about Libi's imprisonment, torture, false testimony on Iraq and the circumstances of his death. To read a copy of the FOIA, click this link. Please Donate Today Please help us continue this work with a generous donation. The truth is coming out and the pressure is building, but we can't do it without your contribution.

2009 State of the Industry - Part Two
Last month, we took a snapshot of the wide- and grand-format industry, and looked at how business has been over the last year. In this article, I'll focus on the future aspects of the market: what areas show the largest opportunity for growth, what technology will drive change forward, and where we see ourselves in one year's time.
Coping Mechanisms
As discussed before, no segment of the wide-/grand-format market has been exempt from the downturns brought on by the current global recession, with some shops seeing profits decline 30 to 50 percent from the previous year. This, in turn, has forced many to make tough decisions in order to keep their businesses afloat.
"Both from a sales and operations standpoint we see people making changes to their business," said Tim Greene, director, Wide Format & Jetting Technologies, InfoTrends. "From a sales standpoint we have companies reporting that they are taking a harder look at new vertical marketing strategies and more aggressively promoting and discounting their services. From an operations standpoint we see people doing what they have to do to drive down costs, reducing employee hours, using more third-party ink and media, and using less expensive types of media that may not be as durable, but satisfies the need for short-term promotional graphics."
According to Joseph Mergui, president, Caldera, many shops are reacting wisely. "They invest in securing their assets, managing workflow, monitoring costs and labor time. They also invest in new equipment, not just to replace simply an old one, but to secure a better profit ratio per square foot," he said.
Christopher Howard, senior vice president, sales & marketing, Durst Image Technology US, LLC, agrees. "I think many shops have looked at their operations and the efficiencies thereof as stated earlier, and they have also looked at this as a time to focus on market share in their key segments."
"Every shop is different in their strategy to grow through this economy," said Ken Van Horn, product marketing manager, EFI. "Many shops took a very aggressive approach and continued to invest in the technology and workflow management systems that would enable them to not only capture more business but also become more profitable. As customers add production they are also looking for predictable uptime and running costs. So enhanced service and support is critical."
Cost Reductions
The primary way many businesses have coped—across all industries—has been though close control of costs. We've seen the reports of the increasing number of the unemployed and, unfortunately, the wide-format industry has had its share of layoffs and cuts.
"We've seen workforce reductions at shops, as well much greater competition for business with customers who've established long-standing relationships with particular fabricators," said Joseph N. Masters, graphic display marketing manager and sustainability manager, Alcan Composites USA.
"In general, PSPs are streamlining their operations, laying off employees and consolidating production on certain printers. The challenges are likely to remain immense as long as excess capacity remains," said Adam Florek, research analyst, Lyra Research, Inc..
"Some are cutting costs and right sizing their businesses for this 'reset economy'," said Rick Scrimger, vice president/general manager, Roland DGA, "while others haven't seen the impact based on their niche and local territory. Some shops closed their doors as a result of the dramatic changes in business over the previous 12 months."
"In most cases, downsizing and cost control have been the response. Partnering opportunities have been more prevalent, especially where synergies exist. Companies need to focus on their revitalization strategies," said Steve Bova, executive director, International Reprographic Association (IRgA).
"Most shops have cut their resources in-line with the decline in demand for their output. A few took the decline as an opportunity to become more aggressive and capture share (by way of lower prices) from competitors," said Marco Boer, vice president, IT Strategies.
Some have focused on improving their internal operations and their core businesses, strengthening their presence in the market. "Some shops have focused on improving their operations with efforts that not only save long-term costs but contribute to sustainability—such as switching from propane-powered forklifts to electric forklifts and installing energy-efficient lighting," said Masters.
While some businesses hunkered down, others found that offering new services and expanding their customer-base, helped them remain afloat.
"The shops that are very specialized were hit a lot harder than the shops that cater to a variety of markets. This makes sense, considering that when one industry is down others might be in better shape," said Ed McCarron, director of marketing, Digital Imaging, InteliCoat. "More shops are diversifying, going after as many industries and applications as possible. Shops that are able to serve multiple markets tend to do better during tough times."
The IRGA's Bova, agrees. "There has been a trend toward diversification, right-sizing and charging for services that may have been included for free before. However, competitors are hungrier than ever. We continue to see accelerated price erosion as companies compete for less business in the traditional marketplaces."
"We've seen shops bring new services under their roof. Whether it's design or installation, more firms are touting themselves as one-stop shops," said Florek.
Technical Innovation
As the industry recovers, technological advances in printhead technology, print equipment, and inks will help to drive the market forward. "Digital printing is king," said Alcan's Masters, and the current economic situation has aided in the shift from analog to digital technologies. Digital allows PSPs to print short run jobs without incurring high costs for materials and labor. And many of the projects from marketers have moved toward much more targeted and shorter run lengths in an effort to keep their marketing costs down—which is perfect for digital.
Experts pointed to three areas where innovation has—and will continue to—push the market forward: UV technology, latex ink, and automation.
UV Technology
According to IT Strategies' Boer, UV-curable inkjet technology continues to help print providers address a broader range of applications, allowing them to take on incremental business. "This is important because it is not displacing existing revenue, and it is growing the size of eligible revenue."
Lyra's Florek continued: "UV-curable hardware and inks have been the star of the industry. The Great Recession has hit the UV-curable segment as well, but we expect that segment to bounce back more quickly. The prosperity of the UV-curable segment will likely come at the expense of the relatively saturated solvent segment. Especially if price points for UV-curable printers come down, smaller PSPs will likely replace solvent devices with UV-curable ones to widen their capabilities and print on new substrates."
"UV flatbed technology continues to dominate our ability to deliver a wide array of products quickly and efficiently," said Catherine Monson, chief executive officer, FASTSIGNS International, Inc. "Although the acquisition rate has slowed, some of our centers have acquired new equipment this year. UV flatbed printers allow our centers to reduce their cost of goods and labor while maintaining or increasing their production capability."
Latex Ink Technology
According to some experts, Hewlett Packard's development of the new latex ink technology will be a key component in driving change in the coming years.
"There have been some interesting developments in the market in terms of printers—for example, the latex ink printer platform from HP is representative of the future of printing technologies," said McCarron.
"The aqueous inkjet market has been on the decline, but with the launch of more durable aqueous options, such as latex, this trend could reverse," said Lance Hutt, global product manager—Digital, Avery Dennison Graphics & Reflective Products Division.
During SGIA, one of the trends on the floor was a move toward more automated systems, allowing PSPs to increase shop efficiencies and productivity, while also streamlining their workloads. "Our customers have been focused on production efficiency in their print operations, everything from the physical workflow to investments in the areas of new printing platforms that are offering additional productivity. This is allowing them to compete for new jobs and still have a margin required for their businesses," said Howard.
"Workflow technologies exist in many forms. It's now time to understand the production process, life cycle and life cycle management of your company and automate this," said Ken Madsen, president, GSG. "There has been a natural shift with many of our national clients (beauty, cosmetic, fashion, etc.) to focus on reducing costs. To do this we must all automate, utilize and be intimate with the production life cycle to stay healthy in this environment."
Future Growth Opportunities
Overall, experts are cautiously optimistic about future growth in the wide-/grand-format industry, with a turnaround at the end of 2009 and growth beginning early in 2010. MACtac's Moore agrees with industry estimates of three to eight percent growth in the coming years.
"As our economy approaches recovery, the market will see a different standard of 'normal'," said FASTSIGNS's Monson. "While growth in this market may not keep pace with predictions from previous years, there is still a demand that we are in a position to meet."
"The growth in the wide-format printer market will return as the rest of the economy returns to higher levels of expenditures. Those printers that provide the ability to either expand the application range a shop is able to target are always likely to see above market growth, but also those print providers who can add value through conversion and are able to sell the value add will do well," said Boer.
But what applications show the best opportunities for PSPs? Experts pointed to textile printing, interior and home décor, and POP retail signage as the three main areas of future growth for the market.
"Opportunities lie in providing unique and diverse wide-format products and applications outside of the traditional banners and rigid products that we already provide," said Monson.
"The growth is in going beyond the boundaries of printing traditional posters and banners. New applications provide new revenue streams yet still allow companies to produce traditional graphics," said Randy Paar, Display Graphics Product Manager, Océ North America. "Products can yield greater margins than just prints. A printer and digital cutter could be used to manufacture furniture, or instrument panels, or children's games. Shops with some entrepreneurial spirit should consider that current generation flatbed printers and digital cutters are also manufacturing tools that allow them to produce a product."
"PSPs are increasingly successful in marketing wallpaper to prospective customers. In general, I think decorative graphics are an area of great potential, especially as media manufacturers offer more sophisticated substrates that are compatible with aqueous and even solvent and UV-curable inks," said Florek.
"Signs Now sees direct-to-textile printing as an emerging trend," said Lee Manevitch, technical support director, Signs Now, a division of Allegra Network. "The ability to print directly on textiles means we can offer POP, tradeshow graphics, or even outdoor banners that eclipse other technologies in terms of color range and overall visual effect."
Neschen America's vice president of marketing, Angie Mohni, points to the retail sector as a growth market. "Retailers are looking for any way possible to pull customers into their stores. They are using window graphics, floor graphics, portable banner stands, low cost signage, and printable textiles to draw customers in with the hope that they will spend money. Many retailers are advertising a new special every other week so signage promoting these sales must be created," she said.
"Wide-/grand-format, especially point-of-purchase applications, will continue to be the fastest growing print sector. Consumers are making more purchase decisions closer to the product. That means more advertising dollars are being spent closer to the product, and that's good for our community," said Michael Robertson, president, CEO, SGIA.
Manevitch also points to dynamic digital signage as another market to look for expansion. "Dynamic digital signage is becoming more prevalent now. Go to any new Wal-Mart and you're bound to see interior digital signage used heavily. The ability to place a computer and LCD monitor in a location (or LED outside) makes a lot of sense. The end-user receives an attention-grabbing sign for a reasonable investment, and the center owner can—if he or she wants—receive residual revenue from the sale in the form of content development and delivery."
Future Predictions
So, where is the industry headed? "Up baby. Way, way up," said EFI's Van Horn. Most experts agree that while the we shouldn't expect to see the double-digit growth of the past several years, growth is on the horizon.
"I think that in a one year time frame the market as a whole will return to its growth pattern as both the economy continues a slow recovery as well as the potential that digital printing offers in the entire market segment," said Howard.
"We have been seeing slow but steady signs of improvement in the market from quarter two on, and expect to see continued recovery over the next 12 months. The demand for advertising, fine art, and trade show graphics is going to rebound as the economy improves and companies begin to expand their budgets again," said InteliCoat's McCarron.
"This is a tough time for the wide-format industry, but the future is not as bleak as it seems. Manufacturers are hard at work to make their products accessible to a wider market. There has been a flurry of software and workflow solutions that can help PSPs run better and more smoothly. The market has stabilized and there are actually a few signs of life," said Florek. "Still, an industry-wide shake-up is occurring, and there will probably be fewer firms operating next year. The challenge for end users is to communicate why wide-format print is necessary. It is absolutely crucial for PSPs to explore and create new markets."
"We believe there will be stabilization of the marketplace in the next year, and possibly some growth toward the end of the next 12 months. Wide-format printing and finishing technology will continue to evolve and improve, providing customers an even better product at affordable prices," said Monson. "Large-format graphic businesses that have a solid plan, and then work that plan, will ensure their customers get the wide-format products they need to grow their businesses, and as a result, the graphic company's business will grow."
"The economic crisis has forced both manufacturers and PSPs to evaluate how they do business and ways that they can be more efficient. All companies seem to be doing more with less and as the economy recovers, businesses will be in a position to prosper due to the changes that are being made now," said Mohni.
"Hopefully the overall economic environment will have improved to the point where more people are getting back to work. I always think that employment is the critical metric. But even if employment goes up we have some very significant challenges in that will not have gone away in 12 months," said InfoTrends' Greene. "While manufacturers are working very hard to continue to make wide-format digital printing easier, less expensive, and 'greener', we continue to see more printing companies enter the wide-format graphics market, this makes it a more competitive space. We also see a lot of growth in the digital signage/digital display business which presents an alternative to digitally printed graphics. In short, we are not expecting a full rebound to previous levels of business in the 12 month time frame."
"We continue to be bullish about the industry. It has been, and will continue to be, resilient due to the fact that we are able to adapt. We will begin to see ourselves competing against a new set of competitors for new markets and applications. Firms need to do what they must to stay viable. The strongest will survive," said IRgA's Bova.
"As the economy picks up we will see printers investing in new equipment. With the emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly products, printers and their customers will be looking for greener printing options as well," said Avery's Hutt.
"As the market recovers growth will—perhaps ironically—bring with it more manufacturers, particularly those from Eastern Europe, Korea, and Taiwan. Unlike the Chinese wide-format solvent manufacturers of five years ago who never really gained traction in the US, the new generation of wide-format manufacturers has the benefit of access to better IJ head and ink technology and is unencumbered by a prior reputation," said Boer. "At FESPA 2009 in Amsterdam there were over 35 UV-curable inkjet manufacturers displaying new UV-curable printer technology. Interest among print providers is high in newer ink technologies—such as HP Latex inks, similar inks which are likely to be offered by other manufacturers in the future—and they will spend money to remain at the forefront of their markets. We believe the sun is rising, and the alternatives available to print providers will become even more varied than they have been before."
According to Don Knox, US director of sales, Large Format Printing, HP Graphics Solutions Business, there are three major forces driving the future growth in this market. "The first is the conversion of high-quality, long-run applications to digital printing, such as POP advertising. Secondly, there is a substrate substitution from PVC-based materials to lighter, easy-to-handle polyester based materials. Last, digital signage will finally break the barrier of what is creatively possible in a new space, a new format, and through new communication channels," said Knox.
"In the next 12 months we'll see several new technologies and initiatives emerge that will shake up the sign industry significantly, and those who are capable of embracing that change will thrive. With the exception of ensuring a 'green' product, though, customers don't care how their sign was produced—they just want it now and they want it done right," said Manevitch. "Ease of use has improved. Software has improved. Cost has come down so much that there is very little investment required to enter this industry. The differentiator, then, will not be price or equipment but rather the quality of service provided. Those who are willing and able to interface with customers will flourish once the economy rebounds, and those who can't or won't deal with customers will be forced to rethink their business strategies."

◆Inn on Church, 201 W. 3rd Ave.

Kanuga Road
And everyone can get a taste of the seasonal opulence inside the six inns by watching "North Carolina Weekend" on UNC-TV at 9 p.m. Thursday and 8:30 p.m. Friday, when the broadcast will feature the Hendersonville Holiday Tour.
This year's adventure features Aunt Adeline's Bed & Breakfast, a former boarding house at 1314 Hyman Ave.; Inn on Church at 201 W. Third Ave., the last surviving example of the many hotels that once thrived downtown; Claddagh Inn, built in 1897 at 755 N. Main St.; the 1898 Waverly Inn at 783 N. Main St.; the Elizabeth Leigh Inn, a Colonial Revival 1893 home at 908 W. Fifth Ave.; and Pinebrook Manor Inn, one of the oldest historic estates in Hendersonville at 2701 Kanuga Road.
Aunt Adeline's Bed & Breakfast features more than 200 nutcrackers ranging in size from 2 inches to 6 feet tall, collected and rehabilitated from different parts of the world. Heinrich and Herwig — giants among the collection at Aunt Adeline's — guard the front entrance.
"This is the nutcracker house," says Sue Hathaway, who runs the inn with her husband, Gerald Mitchell. Nutcrackers pull the sleigh here instead of reindeer. The theme will even be reflected in about 450 nutcracker butter cookies Hathaway says she plans to bake, frost and hand out in the tour's cookie caper.
"They're expecting over 400 (tourists) this year," she adds.
Guests of Aunt Adeline's, a former boarding house named Bonnie Haven, will be treated to spiced cider, coffee and a special tour of each room. A large fir tree, decked with ornaments, grows to the ceiling of the couple's sunny dining room.
"People come and take their family's photo in front of the tree and send it out as Christmas cards," Hathaway says.
They joined the tour in 2008, less than a year after purchasing the Hyman Avenue property which had last housed a retirement home. Aunt Adeline's Bed & Breakfast officially opened to guests in the fall of 2009.
Hathaway says she named the inn after her great aunt, who lived in Hendersonville before her death. Her two tallest nutcrackers, Heinrich and Herwig, bear the names of her great-grandmother.
Hathaway, who retired as a major in the U.S. Air Force in 1998, picked up her first nutcracker when she was stationed in Germany in the '80s. What began as a set of six miniature tree ornaments has grown to a passion and appreciation for the wooden soldiers.
"We get damaged ones and we fix them up," Hathaway says, pointing to the couple's nutcracker hospital upstairs. That's where the magic happens, where unfortunate toys find the fortune of new arms, heads, feet and nut-crunching-capable mouths.
"We like the soldier look," Mitchell says, "although I will vary off that theme. I've got one for the Cornhuskers, my football team in Nebraska, and I have a golfer in my office."
Guests have come from as far as Baghdad to stay at Aunt Adeline's and have a bowl of Hathaway's cheesy grits, inspired by the cook who first fixed them for her — her aunt.
Mitchell says that they have seen more guests this year than last year, a hopeful sign the economy is on the uptick.
Pinebrook Manor Inn
Melanie and Graham MacPherson say they have also seen a rise in their guests at Pinebrook Manor Inn, where they have hosted visitors from as far away as Russia. Last month, they hosted a crew filming the cast of a reality show pilot called "Road to Love."
"They used Pinebrook for everything. The girls stayed here. They filmed here. They had their control room here down in our basement next door. For 10 days, we had these people who literally just took over our property," Melanie MacPherson says.
"It was a great experience," she adds, holding onto a "Road to Love: Hendersonville" photograph the crew left for her as a keepsake.
Melanie MacPherson is grateful for the attention.
"Because we are three miles out from downtown, we have never been asked to be in the historic tours before, and so this year we're very honored that they invited us to participate," she says. "This is our way of telling the locals we're here."
She says that they start decorating for Christmas on the first of November. "It takes me weeks to get it done," she says.
The MacPhersons do all of their own decorating, holding fast to a Victorian theme.
"I've been collecting ornaments for 41 years," she says. "I love things that are very ornate."
Garlands tied with golden ribbon and a fairy dusting of silver glitter here and there dress up golden cherubs on the mantel of the inn's ballroom.
"Most people know this house as the Pardee Estate," Melanie MacPherson says. The Pardees, for which the hospital was named, bought the house in 1945, she adds. "We've been able to trace the house back to 1910, and that's only from deeds that I have seen."
"We know the house goes back to the late 1700s because Flat Rock Historical Society told us that our foundation is that old," she says.
Melanie MacPherson bought the property in 2003. "It was a total rehab," she says. "It took seven months to do the restoration."
She put in new bathrooms with Jacuzzi tubs, central heat and air, a commercial hot water system and wi-fi. A lot of the furnishings hail from England, where she lived for five years, and from a bed and breakfast she ran for five years in California.
The inn's master bedroom features a fireplace and a hot tub for two. A guest book in the room is signed by guests who share their stories of romance.
MacPherson says the inn is all about romance. Two king rooms and two queen rooms are named after British romantic poets, Lord Tennyson, Lord Byron, Barrett Browning and Wordsworth. Each room features collected works of the author.
The Lake District, she says, "used to be one of my favorite places to go in England. … This whole area kind of reminds me of that, and, of course, all of those poets were from up in that area."
On the inn's five acres, the MacPhersons grow a rose garden that has been the site of several weddings.
"We wanted a space where we could do weddings. That's why we took the project on," she says. "It was like the house called to me."
Pinebrook Manor Inn opened n May 2004.
"It had never been a bed and breakfast before," she says. "This whole B&B thing is about really taking care of a family, and it's exactly how it was in my home with my children growing up. … I was a homemaker and the difference now is that I do get appreciated for it," she says, laughing. "And that's why we do it, because we like to make people happy. It makes us feel good."
Graham MacPherson, a retired architect, jokes that in his retirement "he's worked harder than he ever has in his life, being an innkeeper," Melanie MacPherson says.

Whoa, really diggin' the new claws on Wolvie
Where the eff is the trailer for Wolverine anyway?
Whoa, really diggin' the new claws on Wolvie
Where the eff is the trailer for Wolverine anyway?
When more publicity stills start hitting the web a trailer is usually not far behind.
Imagine how much more the dynamic of Iron Man's helmet would change, if that mouth part was a smile instead of a scowl-look. LOL!!! Idk, but that is funny to me......
Maybe this is outside of this site's purview but
yesterday WB won it's appeal against the Siegels over the fight for Superman. Meaning the Siegels won't gain any control partial or fully of Superman as they were scheduled to later this year.
WB has now won the fight over both the Shuster and Siegel's estates and it looks like Supes will remain in its one and only home for the forseeable future
Gotta agree with Wiseguy, I have always thought from the first X-men movie that Wolvies claws were too wide and cubersom. These look more sleek and comic book -like. Especially in the last Wolerine movie, they looked like huge machettes attached to his hands. As a side note, having seen and heard more about this movie, my hopes are up. They sound like they are trying to capture what Wolverine is about in this try. However, as before studios talk a good game only to fall flat in the execution. Time will tell. Looking forward regardless.
I'm still disapointed that Aronofsky won't be directing Wolvie, that would have been interesting. Even if Brett Ratner directed it, it would have to be better than Origins though. Not loving the color scheme for the new Iron Man suit but the plot sounds good, definitely seeing IM3 on opening weekend. @Wise, that is interesting about WB and the Supes rights; it feels a little like handing the keys for a ferrari to a teeneager: it could be fun but it could easily turn into a catastrophe. Do you know where they stand on the rights for the other JL characters? Don't know if they sold them off without forsight like Marvel did or if WB retains the rights to all of DC's characters for features.
"Some people call me a Tuurrurist... I prefer to think of myself as a Teachuuuuuur..."
I agree, I'm still bummed Aronofsky isn't directing, but I'm excited about the next Wolverine flick. Especially knowing that the main story take place after X3. This opens up so much more possibilities and I'm excited they did that.
I don't believe any of the other JL characters are in copyright dispute. DC/Warners completely owns them outright. In retaining all rights to Supes the circle is complete.
Speaking of Superman and the JL movies, I just saw on some celebrity website MoS actor Henry Cavill is now dating Gina Carano. Could that mean she is a shoe-in for WW?

Ogg Vorbis optimized for speed, ca. 1.5x faster than 1.1 original ver. |
Ogg Vorbis optimized for speed, ca. 1.5x faster than 1.1 original ver. |
Nov 4 2004, 20:11
Group: Members Posts: 169 Joined: 30-September 01 From: Tokyo, Japan Member No.: 99 |
Some Japanese guys work on speed optimization of libvorbis by using SSE. Blacksword (or 637) launched an Ogg Vorbis acceleration project (in Japanese only) and releases oggenc binary and libvorbis patch based on libvorbis 1.1. This optimization includes SSE implementations of FFT, MDCT, windowing, channel coupling, sorting, psymodel, floor/residue encode, and so on. In my computer (Pentium IV 2.4GHz), ICL8.1 compiled oggenc binary of the optimized version (Archer Beta03) encodes at 23.4x while the one without optimization (ICL8.1 compiled but no SSE patches) does at 15.5x. Hence, this optimization archives ca. 1.5x speed gain.
Unlike GoGo-no-coder, it's not forking: he releases a patch for libvorbis source code without absolutely changing algorithm or data structure. This is very good for source code maintenance to keep up with up-to-date official libvorbis, but limits optimization possibility in some degree. Actually, the author says in readme.txt that there's little room left for optimization. So I think it's time for quality evaluation although this optimization is in development stage. After several bugs are found and fixed for the last week, bitrates are quite similar to the reference encoder for all quality values. If you find any bugs or quality degressions from official 1.1 one, please tell us. Contributors are: - Blacksword (or 637)'s SSE optimization (Japanese only): A number of functions in libvorbis are vectorized to take advantage of SSE instruction set as well as Opt-Sort and wuvorbis. For complete list of optimized functions, see readme.txt (in Japanese but you may easily find it) attached with the binary. - Manuke's OptSort: Optimization of qsort function that consumes 20% of compression processing time, by assuming that _vp_quantize_couple_sort and _vp_noise_normalize_sort functions in psy.c call qsort with 8 or 32 element. This accelerates the whole compression process by 10%. - W.Dee's wuvorbisfile (Japanese only?): wuvorbis.dll is a fast Ogg Vorbis decoder with SSE and 3DNow!, which is a part of KiriKiri software (useful for developing multi-media contents or adventure games). wuvorbis.dll decodes 1.4x-1.8x faster (SSE) and 1.5x-1.9x faster (3DNow!) than official libvorbis. Happy encoding! |

Available from Voyageur Press, "AC/DC: High-Voltage Rock 'N' Roll: The Ultimate Illustrated History" by Phil Sutcliffe follows the band from its roots in Sydney, Australia, to its most recent releases and sold-out world tours. No stone is left unturned, from the band's formation and early gigs on the club circuit Down Under, to the 1980 death of singer Bon Scott and ultimately astounding worldwide success. Jam-packed with more than 400 illustrations—from handbills, posters, backstage passes, and vinyl from around the globe, as well as rare candid and performance photography—this massive contribution to the AC/DC library gives fans a all-access visual tour through almost four decades of unadulterated rock mastery. Additionally, sidebars and essays from top rock scribes examine all studio releases, document the band's numerous personnel changes, and delve into the guitar gear of the Young brothers, while musicians past and present comment and reflect on the band's lasting influence.
Complete with a specially commissioned band history and discography, an afterword from Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, and a complete index, this book brings fans as close to the band as possible without a ticket.
For those who can't get enough of the boys from Sydney, AC/DC: High-Voltage Rock 'n' Roll salutes you!

Billboard has reported that AC/DC's "Black Ice" world tour which lasted from October 2008 through June 2010 will end up as the second highest grossing tour of all time. The total figures at this time tally up at $441.6 million from 168 shows. AC/DC performed to approximately 4.9 million fans during their "Black Ice" tour, and only falls short of first place to The Rolling Stones "Bigger Bang" tour (2005-2007) which had grossed $558.3 million through 147 shows. AC/DC's "Black Ice" tour also tops Billboard's list of the highest grossing tour of 2010 so far, at approximately $177.5 million from the 40 shows played this year.

- 28 July 2010On July 25, 1980, AC/DC released Back In Black in the US, followed by the album's UK release on July 31.
Today, the album is a record-shattering rock 'n' roll landmark, passed along from generation to generation and guaranteed a spot on the shelves of every music enthusiast not living under a rock (and some that are). But, that's not how Back In Black started life.
The story of how Back In Black was made and the frenzy it whipped up upon its release is every bit as captivating today as the 41 minute, 48 second, no bullshit, ribcage pounding record itself. Dedicated to the band's fallen friend and frontman, Bon Scott, recorded with then newcomer Brian Johnson, and described by Rolling Stone Magazine's David Fricke at the time as "kick[ing] like a mutha," Back In Black put AC/DC in households from coast to coast, ravaging their speakers in the process.
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, we invite you to revisit the story of Back In Black, complete with videos, photos, quotes from the band, a timeline and a whole lot more.
This is the story of Back In Black.

- 9 July 2010After criss-crossing the globe for over 20 months and playing to over 5 million people, AC/DC's Black Ice World Tour came to a close in Bilbao, Spain on June 28, 2010. The Black Ice World Tour took AC/DC to 108 cities in over 28 countries. AC/DC kicked off the tour on the heels of releasing their critically lauded album Black Ice, which soared to the #1 spot on album charts in over 29 countries around the globe. The Black Ice World tour was heralded by fans and critics alike, with the Chicago Tribune calling it "a celebration of all that is great about rock 'n' roll," calling the band's music as "Rock 'n' roll that outlasts time." Earlier this year AC/DC's Black Ice World Tour won a Pollstar Award for Major Tour of the Year.

Looking for Sports Headphones?
Start shoppingVideo: Denon Exercise Freak Headphones
Denon's Exercise Freak in-ear headphones are built for people on the go. They're designed to stay on while you work out, plus deliver pulse-pounding sound to help keep you moving. Built-in Bluetooth lets you field phone calls. They're available in three colors, and Denon even made a free app that'll help you track your workouts.
Hi. I'm Sanjay Sharma with Denon electronics, and I'm here to talk to you about the new series of Exercise Freak headphones from Denon. So the first thing you'll notice about these headphones is that they're completely wireless. If your device has Bluetooth built in, it can transmit the audio to these headphones.
The other thing that you'll notice is that there's a band in the back of these headphones. And this is a reflective band, so when you're jogging or walking outside at night you can be assured that at least there's a little bit of safety involved.
The next thing is that the headphones feature a built-in microphone so you can have Bluetooth wireless conversations on these headphones. They have a built-in mic. They also have a play/pause button, so as you're doing your workout you can listen to your music, you can pause it, you can also fast forward it, and you can rewind it.
Now looking at the fit of these earphones — number one, you'll notice that there is a articulating arm in order to properly fit over your ear. The second thing is that it does pivot also. The other thing is that these headphones are completely water resistant or sweatproof.
At Denon, we're serious about sound quality so these headphones have been engineered and optimized to sound great over a Bluetooth wireless connection. If you have any questions on any of the Denon line of headphones, please give Crutchfield a call.

funny cute bouncy
Dis happed to be once.
"Nobody nose the trouble I've seen" said the snowman.
There's no top hat...so the bunny must have come from there?
Yay! This one was my second favorite this derby. The ones I vote for almost never print.
Did you know that rabbits don't actually eat carrots in the wild? If they eat them on a regular basis, they get sick. So this little bunny is just being a jackwagon...
Oh my god, the expressions in this design are priceless! Bravo Spiritgreen!
Here's the theme song for the shirt http://www.youtube.com/user/NeedKickAssAds?v=_n8ENwNg6uc&feature=pyv&ad=8035430332&kw=bunny
Wow! A very unlady like laugh/guffaw/snort sound just came out of my face after looking at this shirt!
I really like this shirt It's very cute.
Very cute design. I just wish it wasn't on this powder blue shirt... I look terrible in that color. I will most likely still buy it though. Just use it as a sleep shirt :p

How Dare you!!1! Loony Toons can't be wrong!
I LOVE THIS SHIRT OMGYES! XD bunny<333
Well, I reckon the robbed snowman can take some solace in the knowledge that that seasonally mis-colored bunny is likely to meet an untimely demise.

It's DUCK season!
thumperchick wrote:It's DUCK season!
For real y'all, Karen is so gonna cry. That rabbit is a jerk-face.
I love the use of colors in designs like this. The use of white and blues may dominate the design, but that single use of browns and orange makes the whole thing come alive in an awesome and vibrant way. Congrats on the print!
So glad this printed. There's something very 70's underground comic about the style, too, in spite of its cute appeal.
That rascally wabbit!
So the bunny just jumped through the snowman's face?
Sneaky little rascal! Look at his devilish expression... He's so fat he probably wasn't even hungry, he just wanted to make the snowman freak out.
Shades of jamescho84 !!! just like the Derby#4 shirt !!!!!
Ha! Love it. Ordered one. We raise lop ear bunnies so this is a must have for the winter season.
Whoever made that snowman stuck the nose in backwards. I can't support this.
Got this for my 3 year old...there is a song he sings a lot that goes with this T-shirt: A chubby little snowman had a carrot nose. Along came a bunny and what do you suppose? That hungry little bunny, looking for his lunch Ate that snowman's carrot nose, Nibble, nibble, CRUNCH!
Yippee! I'm sooooo happy this printed! Awesomely cute and devilish at the same time!
Do you nose if it is possible to wear a shirt on your nose? If you could, I would. Nose Thief on my nose! Win!
hooray! i'm gonna spend the next 3 weeks sitting in front of my mail box, frantically wagging my tail
That has to be the cutest thief ever :3 But poor snowman
Ho boy! What a surprise! Thanks SO much to everyone who supported this design and made it a shirt. May your noses never be eaten. ^_^ . * . Merry Christmas! . * .
I love that the rabbit is so FAT! Makes me wanna cuddle and squeeze it. Oh, my pretty little pet, I love you. So, I stroke it, and I pet it, and I massage it. Hehe, I love it, I love my little naughty pet, you're naughty! And then I take my naughty pet and I go chhhhhhhh, chhhhhhhhh, OOOOHHHHHHH. I KILLED IT!
Awesome design, my favorite woot T in a long time! I just wish it was available in toddler sizes, would love this for my 2 year old.
If that doesn't make your teeth cold, I don't know what will.
What did one snowman say to the other snowman? ... ... ... ... Do you smell carrots? This guy doesn't anymore! Congrats on the print, SG!
Congrats! This was my favorite in the fog, glad it got the print it deserved.
And Thumper wins by a nose.
Good job, Spirit. Congrats!
