Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
I love, love, LOVE our invitations! They run great sales very often, so wait for them to put Wedding invitations at 40% off before you order. Ours are absolutely beautiful, and exactly what we wanted, and about 50% less even at full price than we were quoted everywhere else. We opted to put ours together ourselves instead of paying $1 an invitation for them to do it, and I can honestly say my only complaint is that I wish they had included a few more of the glue dots with them. Great value and quality!
Just got my invitations delivered today and I am in LOVE. They are everything I hoped they would be and then some. Super fast delivery too!
I actually ordered invitations through this vendor twice. The first ones I ordered without showing to my mother first (she said she was fine with whatever we liked) but when I showed them to her she HATED them. Fortunately, The American Wedding staff was very responsive and was able to cancel the order and refund the charge very quickly! I was later able to find a different invitation (that we all liked) and place another order. The order was produced and shipped quickly, and the invitations came in perfect! I was super excited to send them out to our guests! I would definitely recommend shopping with The American Wedding for your invitations.
My invitations were gorgeous and just how I ordered them! Came in a very timely manner!
American Wedding was super easy to use to design our invitations and enclosure cards. The quality of the paper stock and printing are fabulous! We received everything about 2 weeks after our order was placed. Perfect!
We ordered our invitations from The American Wedding and could not be happier! They came out gorgeous, and their customer service is top notch. Despite proofing them many many times before ordering, I found a small mistake after I submitted them. I opened up a help desk ticket as soon as I saw it and they responded and fixed it within a few hours. The price is great and they always seem to have a sale. I absolutely love them!
I ordered the Bright Beginnings invitations. I placed the order on Monday and received the invitations and RVSP on Saturday the same week! The cardstock they use is great. The is great quality also. I have started to asemble then and I am hoping they provided me with enough double sided tape. Otherwise, I had 0 issues. I would recommend this company to anyone. OHH and they usually have coupons. It used to be 20% order and they have since changed but I saved $35 which helps!!
I ordered my wedding invites about 2 weeks ago from American Wedding and I have already received them! I was so stressed out with this whole invitation process and American wedding made my experience stress free. On top of the great price the quality is great! My cards are so beautiful!!! I would recommend this to every bride out there!
We purchased our save-the-dates as well as our invitations from The American Wedding. I will absolutely recommend this vendor to anyone that I know because of the great quality of their product. They also send coupons on a weekly or monthly basis so you are always able to save money on what would normally be very expensive. Overall, I am very happy with everything that we received from The American Wedding.
Our invitations were lovely and just what we wanted! We got some many compliments on them from our guests that received them :) The price we paid for what we got was great- it was under $100 for 90 invitations with a coupon code- they are available regularly and can save you anywhere from 25%-40%. Plus they offer sample invitations for free to see your favorites in person before you purchase. Great vendor!!
Great price, great quality. I would recommend The American Wedding invitations to anyone. They were significantly cheaper than other popular invitation makers, but I saw no difference in the quality, or the options offered.
THESE WERE THE BEST INVITATIONS! We were able to save a fortune on our 300 invitations, but they were beautiful. They looked like they were hand stamped and pressed and so amazing. The customized options were great. The website is sometimes hard to navigate, but the invitations were beautiful! Make sure to use the 40% off coupon!!!
We LOVE our invitations! At first we were skeptical ordering online and this was such a great deal compared to other companies but, we are very impressed with the quality of the invitations. The customer service is also outstanding! We called to ask about shipment and got to a 'real' person right away that helped us out even though we had lost our confirmation number.
I received a magazine from The American Wedding in the mail. I liked the fact that they send you free samples in the mail, so you know exactly what you're ordering. I received the samples very fast. I took awhile to figure out exactly what I wanted, but when I was ready to order, the website made everything so easy. When I had questions, their website chat service was very fast to respond and very helpful. I received the invitations about 6 weeks after I ordered them. I have already sent them out, just waiting on RSVPs. Everyone keeps commenting on them, saying how pretty they are. So I am just thrilled with my invitations!
Amazing service and product. Unbeatable prices for the quality of the invitations. Super fast delivery and easy to use website!
When looking for invitations, I ordered samples from The American Wedding, David's Bridal, and Wedding Paper Divas. Of the three, The American Wedding had more of the style we wanted and a price range that could not be beat. We were surprised how inexpensive it turned out to be, and they seem to always have a 40% off promotion going on.
I ordered invitations, response cards, accommodation cards, and envelops for all. Everything was printed with thermography, including my address on all of the envelopes! Everything turned out BEAUTIFULLY! The paper is high quality, and you're able to customize just about everything! After ordering, I began to worry that I would not get the invitation in time to send out. But, to my surprise, they arrived less than a week later even with having The American Wedding assemble the invitations for me. The only negative is that I paid extra to have a black and white digital copy sent to me before production, to ensure everything was perfect. The digital copy I received was actually just a screenshot of what you see when customizing the invite (it wasn't even black and white), so I would not suggest paying for that.

For personal evidence, my CRP is very low and I regularly get 70% or more of my calories from fat. Daily. I'm sure it has occasionally, on a very high-protein day, dropped to something like 50%. But if fat were going to be inflammatory to me, it would have by now - and my CRP would be high. But it's not. Doing this three years.

For those not following Facebook, it has come to pass that our close friend and fellow Gruver & Pterodactyl... D2D Logistics Coordinator and General SmartAss/Instigator has been going thru some health issues recently. Kevin is currently in treatment for throat cancer, going thru Radiation and Chemo. Prognosis is good, and reports are that he's getting down to fighting weight, so watch out young bucs there'sgonna be a new stud in town when D2D rolls around this June!
Fight hard Kevin, can't wait to hoist one w/ you and Annie in the Downtown Bar w/ the group:freaky... Remember, bald is beautiful, as I should know... and Legion... and Fastlane... and The Dick... and AKTroy... and AKBob... and USbyGS... and Ptero... the list just keeps going and going...:lol3
You're in our thoughts and prayers dude!
Kevin, had no idea. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I will lead a coffee toast on Friday morning for you. Dick
Good wishes to both of you, Kevin and Annie. Counting on you being in Dawson.
Praying for you buddy!
Thinking of you down in BC.
Keep up the good fight.

Hang in there, Kev. Once you finally get to that magical 'bald is beautiful' point we'll send you a commemorative buff pad with all our names on it and a picture of dick.
I don't have a real good prayer connection and I'm not sure how to lead a coffee toast but if it's possible to send best intentions long distances; brace for a bunch of good thoughts and strength from me. Keep a paper sack handy in case the first few batches make you woozy.
Good luck and don't pass up a good opportunity to whine to Annie!
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Slay the bastard invader and you won't be looking like no Dick when you are back for D2D.
All the best to you both!
MIXIN' YOU A BATCH OF VOODOO MOJO:pot:gerg GET WELL KEV!!! DON'T MAKE ME COME UP THERE.:evil:eek1:evil
I just read this post, I had no Idea....fight hard and we will see you in Dawson!!
You and Annie hug each other for me!!!
Ah phooey....
<o:p> </o:p>
Alas, if it wasnt winter, my Delightful DR and I could make a special trip down to MT to spread good cheer and encouragement in person. Since my DR is well-known for helping other bikes run well, Im sure her presence could help Kevins health condition improve. Unfortunately I just bought studded tires for my bicycle so I cant afford studded tires for my motorcycle. Plus an ADVer invited me to a fun party I dont want to miss. (I have plausible excuses - Whew!) <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I think AlcanRider should be generous about sharing Maggie and put her on his borrowed motorcycle trailer and haul her down to Kevins bedside so she can assist Annie in providing the proper care required to fight this terrible disease. (If the thought of my DR and Maggie visiting him doesnt prompt Kevin to get well ASAP, I dont know what else will work. :D ) <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Maybe we should chip in to buy KHuddy an illustrated book on how to properly enjoy retirement, as spending time in a hospital is NOT a pleasurable way to enjoy his golden years. :huh Actually, I know health issues can strike you down at any time and present unwelcome challenges; its not a joking matter. But heck, if Kevin cant talk much, maybe Annie is enjoying some respite from his smart-ass remarks? :rofl<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Hey Barb do you have a nice hi-vis headband for Kevin to wear to keep his bald head slightly warmer? Or maybe we could apply hi-vis duck tape on his head to provide additional insulation. I might reluctantly help with that . <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Kevin - get better soon! My two DRs and I will send healing thoughts your general direction. At least youre not in Fairbanks, where its super cold with high levels of particulate pollution. <o:p></o:p>
Hang in there Kevin
Kevin you and Annie are in our prayers. Take doctors orders and beat the bastard.
Get well and meet us all in Dawson this year.....we miss you both.
Hope your treatment and recovery are successful and you are ready for clear roads this spring.

It would be nice having everything offloaded from the cpu too... but with onboard audio and an onboard NIC I really don't think conventional quad cores take too much of a hit, especially if they have hyperthreading.
Glad you're enjoying it though, I'd like to pick one up sometime to see what their software has to offer
D-Link routers are garbage. If I connect to the modem directly, my ping is 12ms on speedtest for Los Angeles (where I live). If I connect through the $180 Gaming router by D-Link, my ping is 30ms and pages take longer to connect to the host. If I use my Netgear router $180 (current one) I get 13ms ping and pages load as fast as without a router. I've enabled QoS on the router, but I have no idea for it knows what app is running and how to prioritize it.
It has a section where I can make a profile for a game, so let's say I name it Crysis. Then I select the port to use and prioritize it. It's too complicated, since I have no idea what port it uses and how it will even detect what program Crysis is referring to. Killer NIC offers an automatic way of doing this on my PC, so I can prioritize it there. It detects the exe of the program and you can set the level there.

Elizabeth Smoots: Muscle Fitness: Use It or Lose It
Muscle strength peaks in your 20s and then starts to decline. About five to seven pounds of muscle are lost each decade after about age 40 in both men and women.
Aerobic exercise like biking or running is great for cardiovascular fitness but isn't enough to prevent muscle loss. What's the secret to maintaining strong muscles and a healthy body into your later years?
It's strength training—preferably started when you're young and continued during your 40s, 50s and beyond. Let's take a look at the powerful benefits.
Reducing chronic disease
Joint problems: In a recent study from Tufts University, arthritis pain was reduced by 43 percent after a group of older men and women completed a 16-week strength training program. The researchers found that strength training was just as effective, or more so, than medications in relieving the pain of moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. Similar effects have been found in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Poor balance. Strengthening exercises can improve balance and flexibility, helping to prevent falls and broken bones. A New Zealand study of women aged 80 years and older showed a 40 percent reduction in falls with simple strength and balance training.
Weak bones: The pull of muscle on bone increases bone density and lessens the risk of osteoporosis developing in postmenopausal women and older men. A Tufts University study of women aged 50 to 70 found that strength training not only builds bone density but also lowers the rate of fractures.
Overweight: People who have more muscles have a faster metabolism. Even at rest, your muscles consume more calories than other body tissues. With regular strength training, your average metabolic rate may increase up to 15 percent—an enormous boon for weight loss and weight control.
Diabetes: Wider use of strength training programs could help prevent and control the skyrocketing prediabetes and diabetes epidemics in America. In a recent study of Hispanic men and women, 16 weeks of strength training produced dramatic improvements in glucose control that are comparable to taking diabetes mediation.
Mental health: Weight training can lift depression in a fashion similar to antidepressant medications, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). It's not known whether the improvements come from biochemical changes in the brain or from better self-confidence and esteem with participation in weight lifting.
Insomnia: People who do strength work regularly have better quality of sleep. They fall asleep more quickly, sleep more deeply, awaken less often, and sleep longer. The sleep benefits obtained as a result of strength training are comparable to treatment with medication, says the CDC, but without the side effects or expense.
Strength-training tips
Research has shown that people with chronic but stable medical conditions can benefit from resistance exercises. Before you start, discuss your health conditions and strength-training goals with your doctor.
Make changes in your exercise routine slowly and gradually. The general recommendation is to do strength-training exercises on two or three days a week; allow at least one day of rest from those exercises between sessions.
For each strength-training exercise, one set of 8 to 12 repetitions, performed to fatigue, is effective. Once you've had a chance to work up to it, two or three sets may even be better, according to the latest national guidelines.
Lastly, don't believe the "no pain, no gain" mantra. Exercise performed properly should feel good. Consider working with a qualified fitness trainer for personalized advice.

BUSINESS LIFE: BUSINESS MOTORS: Know how to get there with T-nav.
The system should be an economical and intelligent navigation tool to benefit the demands of business users, delivering information about the daily commute or the route to the next business meeting, or even assisting the route planning tasks of logistics companies.
It incorporates real-time traffic flow data using Motorola's navigation server, part of its new iRadio navigation application, together with Trafficmaster's real-time, traffic flow data to create the Trafficmaster T-nav service.
The service will be sold through automotive manufacturers, mobile phone companies and aftermarket outlets.
T-nav will be available to customers in Great Britain and Germany later this year, and is scheduled for introduction in other European countries in 2002.
By phoning the Trafficmaster call centre from a standard mobile phone, drivers will receive navigation information, updated real-time traffic reports and automatic re-routing services for their selected destinations.
David Martell, Trafficmaster's chief executive, says: "Telematics solutions continue to be refined and improved, with new developments in the area of navigational aids and route guidance being ready for deployment.
"With T-nav, we have developed an off-board navigation system combined with Trafficmaster's digital traffic information, providing a powerful solution.
"Motorola's unmatched navigation technology provides the reliability that Trafficmaster needs to complement the new T-nav system."

Ilocos Sur gubernatorial bet files case vs Singsons for alleged vote-buying
MANILA, Philippines – A candidate for governor in Ilocos Sur province filed a disqualification case against his rival Ryan Singson and other local officials Monday for alleged vote buying during a fiesta event.
Tagudin, Ilocos Sur municipal mayor Roque Versoza Jr filed his complaint before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) against incumbent congressman Ryan Luis Singson, congressional candidate Ronald Singson, and incumbent vice governor Deogracias Victor Savellano, among others.
Versoza accused them of giving at least P20,000 during the fiesta event which he said made it "more like a partisan political activity."
"Ronald Singson … gave P10,000, congressman Ryan Luis Singson … and vice governor Savellano … each gave P5,000." Versoza said in their statement released during the filing of the complaint.
"Sto. Domingo, Ilocos Sur local officials headed by incumbent mayor and re-electionist Lito Tadena gave consolation prizes. Each of them were allotted time to say a message to the audience making the fiesta event more like a partisan political activity," he said.
The prizes were raffled off during the event which was the grand finals of a talent search contest held last April 22, 2013 in Barangay (village) Nalasin.
"Their monetary contributions had the end goal of influencing the results of the elections and taking advantage over the electorate during the event," Versoza said.
He also gave to the Comelec a video recording during the said event.
Along with Versoza is the mayoral candidate of Sta. Maria municipality, Kristine Gapusan, who also filed a complaint against incumbent mayor Edgar Florendo also for alleged vote buying.
Gapusan claimed that Florendo was giving P1,000 per voter inside their own headquarters.
"They called voters to their headquarters and then they hold a short event and give their political speeches. Then they have three separate rooms where 20 to 30 voters are given money by Florendo," Gapusan said.
"We managed to take a video using a hidden camera," she said.
She said the last time she knew it happened was on March 22. She also said they have changed their system and were now going from house to house to give the money to those who have not yet received any.

Manchester United midfielder Ashley Young is the subject of special praise from manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
The 26-year old England international has made an immediate impact at Old Trafford following his early summer move from Aston Villa and his performances have not gone unnoticed by Fergie.
"Some players can find it difficult to settle in. Not everyone is the same. In the case of Ashley's he's done exceptionally well," he said of Young, who has already scored twice and provided four assists in the Premier League.
"We were a bit late [in signing Young] but he's matured at Aston Villa. His form last season was fantastic considering they had a difficult year themselves and since he's come he's taken the challenge very well."

B3! Building Better Booksellers
SIBA wants to set a date & get engaged!
The date is Sep. 18th, and the engagement begins NOW!
The Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA) has designated 2015 as the Year of Engagement. Recognizing that everyone involved in the book business is a bookseller at heart, SIBA is implementing "B3! Building Better Booksellers" – a new engagement program that rewards SIBA members for participating in the SIBA and Southern Bookselling community. Participation earns points, and the more points accumulated, the greater the rewards. Members who are active enough can earn enough points to pay their dues, receive free meal tickets to the SIBA Discovery Show, and even free travel and hotel accommodations.
Some of the things that earn points for members include nominating books for the SIBA Book Awards and the Okra Picks, uploading photos to SIBA galleries, taking the holiday catalog, and sharing SIBA news on social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Even just opening SIBA's email will earn points.
The goal of the program is to engage the Southern Bookselling Community and raise the visibility of Southern Indie Bookstores, and increase the value of investing in programs targeted towards Southern bookstores and their customers.
B3! Building Better Booksellers is made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Reba and Dave Williams Foundation for Literature and the Arts, which awarded SIBA a $40,000 grant at the beginning of the year in honor of SIBA's 40th anniversary. The goal of the grant is to recognize the importance of Southern independent bookstores to the industry and the Southern literary community. Accordingly, one of the goals SIBA has set is to see every member store attend its 40th anniversary Discovery Show September 18-20 in Raleigh, North Carolina. SIBA members who participate actively in B3! Building Better Booksellers through engagement can receive an all-expense paid trip to the show.
But the real benefit will be in the heightened visibility and recognition they receive for their store, and the increased interest they get for the books they are…engaged in.

With two seasons of NBC's Grimm now behind them, Portland, Oregon-based HIVE-FX has explored all sorts of ways to turn people into monsters. From the start, the creatures they've created as one of the shows' preferred VFX vendors have always been scary. Now, thanks to a new pipeline they created between Maxon's Cinema 4D, Autodesk's Maya and Adobe's After Effects, those fairy tale-inspired monsters are even more frightening, and in a more cinematic way, too.
"We used to do an overall blending from human to creature, creating a cross-dissolving effect," says Guy Cappiccie, HIVE-FX's shot supervisor and lead creative for Grimm, explaining the innovative approach to creature morphing that landed them a coveted vendor spot on the series. "But now we're blending and moving displacement based on shapes to help break up the characters' transitions in a more organic way." The result is slower more realistically detailed morph from ordinary-looking human to monster. (See some creature morphs from the show here: http://hive-fx.com)HIVE-FX specializes in doing VFX shots for the series that involve morphs, creatures, animals and hair. That might sound strange to those who don't know the show, which is based on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and centers around Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli).
As one of the last living Grimm, the detective inherited his family's ability to see the monsters that pose as humans for what they really are—horrible takes on goats, bears, lions, wolves, goblins, snakes and more. Once they are identified by Burkhardt, the undercover creatures morph from their human likenesses into their menacing selves and back again.
Refining the Process
When HIVE-FX started work on season one of Grimm, only a handful of people on the creative team had experience with character animation, including Jim Clark, the company's president. Most of the monsters they created for the show began as concept art that the team turned into 3D characters after ongoing discussions with the director and line producer and others.
But things have changed over time as NBC has gotten to know the team's work and Cappiccie has not only composited the finishing touches on characters, he has built a pipeline that enables HIVE-FX to create things they could only dream of not long ago. "We still go over some concepts, but we're getting more control over the process," says lead compositer James Chick. "Sometimes, they'll just tell us the character style they want, like another Hexenbiest (a witch-like monster), and then we can just go for it. We've also been able to come up with some characters from start to finish, which has been really rewarding."
But devising a pipeline that works has not been easy. Most creatures begin as photos of the actors taken from every angle. Next, the photos are used to create 3D replicas of their heads using tracking points as a reference. Pixologic's ZBrush is used for 3D sculpting, and models are rigged and animated in Maya. Cinema 4D is used for hair, surfacing, lighting and rendering.
Though Clark had long been working in C4D and knew he wanted it to use it for creature making, HIVE-FX didn't know many artists who knew the software and they weren't aware of anyone using it to create creatures for a series in the past. Undaunted, they hired Maya artists and taught them how to do specific things like use C4D's Hair module.
To help smooth the path between Maya and C4D, HIVE-FX hired German software developer Thomas Otto (at2-software.com) to design a custom plug-in that takes the deformer mesh out of Maya and on a per-point bases, caches it into a single file, allowing the point cache tags to be read inside Cinema 4D so camera and point positions can be matched perfectly. The Foundry's MARI for 3D digital painting and Autodesk's Mudbox for surfacing. After Effects is used for compositing, and tracking is done with Imagineer Systems' Mocha and Andersson Technologies SynthEyes.
Making Monsters
With a few exceptions, the three preferred vendors who create characters for the series tend to work on a specific set of monsters to ensure character continuity. HIVE-FX gets about three to four weeks to work on each episode, and it is common for them to be working on two or three episodes at the same time. "The goal is to be done with an episode a week before it airs, but we do deliver just a day or two before they air in some cases," Cappiccie says.
Character creatures do recur on the show, but many are eventually killed off and replaced by new monsters. Most recently, Cappiccie's team has been working on several characters, including Don Nidaria, a lion-like creature that passes as a rich but abusive man in the human world. After killing his wife, he hires a slimy attorney (who morphs into a goat creature) to get him off the hook.
"We're known for the way we do the interaction between hair and skin, which has been so important with some of our characters, like the lion," says Chick. "We've pushed how we use Hair in Cinema since the beginning of the second season and we've made massive strides in how hair moves naturally by driving it dynamically using realistic 3D and object tracks."
Their most disturbing new creature is a ghoulish Hexenbiest named Frau Pech that they created on their own. "NBC said they wanted another Hexen, so our modeler Jerod Bogh went for it and created Frau," Cappiccie explains. "I wanted her to be as gross as possible, so I had her throat be exposed, allowing us to see it moving around when she talks."
Having never modeled characters with the kind of holes needed for the exposed throat, getting the rigging right was challenging. "The trachea is one separate piece, and it's rigged in a way that allows individual control of the mouth movements," he continues, adding, "See those stitches over her eye? They're rigged to stretch with her eyelids so we can tighten and loosen them."
Running a close second to Frau is the "saggy lady," the creature that detective Burkhardt's girlfriend Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) morphs into in a nightmare dream sequence during season two. "Juliette normally doesn't morph, but this is a dream and it's also the most advanced morph we've created," Cappiccie recalls. "This one really shows how we're using displacement so you can see her body morphing slowly, starting with her hand and crawling up her arm to her neck."
And then there is the goblin creature, Trinket Lipslums, that recently appeared in episode 15. A computer junkie/gamer/hacker in the human world, he morphs into a creature with green skin, CG hair, pointy ears and grotesque three-fingered hands with 8-inch long fingernails. Using a prosthetic hand with three fingers as the basis for their idea, the team came up with a morph in which the fingernails appear to grow from inside the hand. "It's really extreme morphing that's kind of X-Men Wolverine style, so as the fingernails grow, this viscous liquid drips down," Chick explains.
Having just heard that they'll be working with NBC again on Season 3, HIVE-FX is excited by the prospect of developing some new creature-making techniques.
"It's been an entertaining season for our whole team," says Cappiccie, "and we're anticipating many new creatures that will challenge us creatively."

The Bamboo bouncer
The Bamboo Bouncer by Bombol is an Italian designed bouncer inspired by the amazing features of bamboo : it has a light structure with great flexibility yet is very strong.
Despite the modern simplistic look of the Bamboo Bouncer, it is highly sophisticated. The patented dynamic back rest (DBR) is designed to help develop your baby's gross motor skills. The DBR with its elastic fabric lets your baby change position by shifting his/her weight. The positions – sitting, playing or resting - interchange freely and promote healthy physical development. In this bouncer your baby can change position as well as experience soft bouncing movements. In other bouncers, only the bouncer moves, not the child.
The positions can also be "locked" by adjusting the straps on the sides when needed. The release is smooth without removing the child or disturbing a sleeping baby. (Please note that Bamboo does not replace a bed)
The 3D curved frame is of such a precise construction that it responds to even the smallest of movements made by your baby, yet it is strong enough to hold a child of up to 18kg.
The safety harness acts like a brace. It offers great support and peace-of-mind as your child develops and becomes more mobile. Your child will never tumble out of the Bamboo Bouncer. Once the harness is no longer needed, it can be removed and the Bamboo Bouncer transforms into a comfortable little chair – perfect for a rest, watching TV or for looking at books.
A New Born Kit (NBK) is reommended for a very young baby who needs head support. It is available as an accessory in all three colours. The original seat zips off and the NBK zips in.
Bamboo is available in 3 colours: Spring (lime), Elephant (grey) or Coconut (cream).
It weighs 3.5kg and the material can be washed at 30°C. Assembled dimensions are: 75(L) x 53(H) x 42(W) cm.
95% of the Bamboo bouncer can be recycled at the end of its life.
- Allows child to change position by shifting its weight
- Ideal for resting, sitting or playing.
- Settings interchangeable without removing child
- Machine washable
- Holds up to 18kg
- Suitable for newborn with a New Born Kit (accessory)
- Remove harness and bouncer becomes a chaise lounge
- Strong yet reactive to baby's slightest movement
- Tested and approved by European Laboratories
- Weighs 3.5kg
- Assembled dimensions are: 75(L) x 53(H) x 42(W)cm
95% of the Bamboo bounces can be recycled at the end of its life.
Bamboo bouncer accessories
new born kit
The New Born Kit (NBK) replaces the original seat for the first weeks of baby's life as this kit is better suited to a new born's light weight as well as offering head support. The two seats are easily interchanged via a YKK zip.

Keira Knightley has posed topless again and while I find her very beautiful, seeing her bare body gives me an uncomfortable feeling of seeing a naked girl and not a naked woman. I don't feel comfortable seeing these pictures. Am I alone in this?
Hi,Several comments:1. Keira Knightley is not at her best. 2. She is not really topless (I mean she didn't expose too much).3. I don't think she shows a girl's body. 4. My impression is that Keira Knightley is much more smart than beautiful. 5. And the main point: Why do you have to compare yourself to her ?.... You sure have values and qualities she doesn't have (and she has values and qualities that you don't have). If I see a nice guy "well built" I don't even bother to compare my body to his..... 6. Better love what you have and what person you are and appreciate it !. Best rgards,
I agree that Keira looks unhealthy and childish here and has had a reputation for becoming too thin for some of her performances. I wish that young girls would not look at famous actresses and/or pop stars as role models but they do. I am confident enough to not let it affect my own body image, especially because I do not find it attractive to be so thin, however I do worry about younger, easier influenced girls.
Nudity as our society defines it is a form of art. Some might think this subject is controversial but it existed from the beginning of humanity. About Keira we need to try to figure out what was she trying to say by doing that. I think it had to do with the talking about her loosing weight , but I also think she was used and the outcome isn't what see expected. She does look sick in my opinion like sabrins said the affect on young girls is a lot stronger then it is on us . Too thin ......
No you are not alone; I definitely agree with you. In my opinion, it is rather gross to sell a product via a photo of a nude woman but to use a photo of a teenager is obscene. Teenagers should be studying in school and enjoying their youth but to sell their bodies cheapens them and imagine what it does to their peers. It is OK to earn extra money but not the way she is doing it.

During its heyday, before the economic downturn of 2009, about 1,000 people attended the annual World Conference on Disaster Management. They gathered in an Ontario city for four days, listened to speakers — academics and practitioners — asked questions, and learned new ideas in disaster management mitigation, planning and solutions.
But the number of participants has declined sharply — a 40 per cent drop since 2009.
Organizers knew training and conference budgets had been cut. Fair enough. But what did that really mean to those who attended the conference and their communities? What was the impact of reduced budgets on community resilience?
They conducted a survey and discovered some startling facts:
A majority of those who answered said climate change is a reality.
Seventy-five per cent are concerned/very concerned about the potential impact of extreme weather events on their organizations or communities.
More than half said their organization or community had made little or no effort to develop programs to mitigate the impact of climate change; almost the same percentage said there was little to no effort to start programs to adapt to its impact.
The survey results were both startling and worrisome, said Adrian Gordon, chair of the conference. "It says to me, without any doubt, that within the (community of) professionals and those who understand the risk of climate change, they don't know what to do and they don't have the funding to do anything. Where does that leave us? Not in a good place."
The UN-sponsored climate panel said in a recent report that Canada will continue to see more warming than the global average and extreme weather events will be more frequent and more intense.
Without mincing words, it said that most countries — including Canada — are not prepared.
More recently, a comprehensive report from the U.S. — the National Climate Assessment, released May 6 — said climate change is not a distant threat but a present-day danger that is already impacting lives, in some cases severely.
Instances of extreme weather events abound: the Alberta floods in June 2013, Toronto's floods in July 2013 and its recent ice storm. They are all indicators of a fast-changing climate, said John Smol, a researcher on environmental change at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont.
The Alberta floods, considered the worst in Canada's history, cost more than $6 billion dollars, according to the province's finance minister. Before 1990, only three Canadian disasters exceeded $500 million. In the past decade alone, nine have surpassed that amount.
An Insurance Bureau of Canada report in 2012 said Canada now experiences 20 more days of rain compared to the 1950s.
In the same report, Gordon McBean of the Centre for Environment and Sustainability at Western University in London, Ont., said that, "In Canada, a recent spike in severe weather-related events — including severe rainstorms, tornadoes, flooding and forest fires — has resulted in social and economic consequences for individuals and governments across the country."
It's easy to blame the federal government but, in this case, Ottawa really is at the core of the problem, says Richard Kinchlea, chair of the Emergency Management and Public Safety Institute at Centennial College in Toronto.
"I think it's clear that Ottawa does not support climate change initiatives the way it should," he said in an interview. "Adaptation and mitigation efforts are not being supported the way the global community is asking. In fact, Ottawa is going the opposite direction and supporting pipelines and oilsands."
The conference survey clearly tells the story of what should be done, but isn't, he said.
"It has 469 responses, which is a high number. This is a very learned response. You really have to trust what is being said here that disaster management is at the bottom of our priorities."
Ottawa doesn't think so.
In an emailed statement, the Ministry of Public Safety told the Star that the government is shifting emphasis from a traditional response and recovery approach to a more proactive one. "This is not to say that we will not do response and recovery," said Jean Paul Duval, a ministry spokesperson.
Canada, he said, committed $200 million in 2014 for the development of a national disaster mitigation program; another $40 million will be spent over five years to support mitigation programming on reserves. The government has also committed $99.2 million to disaster mitigation following flooding in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec in 2011.
About this survey, Duval said the ministry "welcomes any study that contributes to the understanding of natural disasters and the risks we face."
In Toronto, Paul Kovacs, the executive director of the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction, said it is tough not to panic after a survey that "says what we feared."
There is a strong sense of agreement among those questioned, he said. "They are clear, they are saying there is an issue right now and their work is being affected and will impact even more going into the future."
Conferences such as the World Disaster Management Conference are helpful because in an unpredictable, changing climate, "we need all the help we can to understand what is going on."
There is more reason than ever to get together and discuss "what we should learn from, say, the Calgary floods, or the ice storm," he said. "These events are a critical part of the process for the experts to come together and discuss and learn and improve understanding of how to manage these events."
But emergency management does not show a decent return on investment, Centennial's Kinchlea pointed out. "It's like insurance, you can pay and pay and if you never have a claim, what was it worth? Yes, the Lac-Mégantic derailment or Calgary floods show we need investment but really, for the most part, (we) can't know when these things will happen. When the decision-makers look to invest money, they do it in places where they can see a return."
Few seem to think disaster management is important enough to put money into, he said. "It is an unfortunate thing."
(The World Disaster Management Conference is from June 15 to 18 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre)

We just upgraded to 4.5.7 over the weekend and the behavior of the Category widget on a Space Overview page has changed.
In 126.96.36.199, if you clicked on a Category name it would take you to a "results" page on the All Content tab and would show you all items that are part of that Category.
In 4.5.7 we see that the links in the Category widget when placed in a narrow column do follow this model.
However, when the Category widget is placed in a wide column the URL format changes - and so does the behavior. Instead of going to a results page, it just refreshes the Recent Content widget on the Overview tab.
Problems arise if:
- There is no recent content widget on the page. Clicking the category name/link just refreshes the page
- If the Recent Content widget is "below the fold" it may not be obvious what is happening.
I'd really like to understand if this is a bug, which I believe it to be, or does Jive consider this a feature? There are such poor usability issues in the current model I really cannot understand that this would be the desired behavior.

SALYERSVILLE – The First Commonwealth Bank Mountain Parkway Branch reopened Tuesday. The branch has been closed since March 2, when it suffered tornado damage.
While the building has been closed, First Commonwealth Bank has been in operation. The Downtown Salyersville location immediately extended its hours to serve the community. Also, a temporary facility was set-up on the Mountain Parkway site, which was up and running within days of the disaster.
Although the bank building suffered damage from the storm, First Commonwealth Bank's management and employees realize how fortunate they were that no one was in the building at the time of the storm and that the building did not suffer greater damage.
"The community has been so supportive of us through this rebuilding process," said Greg Wilson, First Commonwealtyh president and CEO. "We are pleased to reopen this location so that we can continue to serve the Salyersville market with a full-service branch in a convenient location. We realize there are a lot of people and businesses that are still rebuilding and we want to help them focus on that by making banking as easy as possible."
The First Commonwealth Bank Mountain Parkway branch lobby is open Monday to Thursday, from 8 a.m. 4 p.m., Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. until noon. The drive-thru is open Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

- In an interview with CMT's Calvin Gilbert, Alan Jackson talked about working for TNN when he first got to Nashville, some early career frustrations, and listening to his entire catalog:
I tell you what got me was a few years ago, Denise and I … I hardly ever listen to my own music … but we were sitting around the house in the summertime. We were out by the pool, having a drink or something, and we put in all my CDs, I think in order, and listened to every cut out there, just sitting around. I'd never done that. It was just crazy to hear all of that. I mean, I love some of the album cuts better than the hits. […] my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that. On the early records, my voice sounds a little higher. I know I've dropped some keys on some of those that we still sing. Yeah, I mean, I could hear what was going on in my life, especially the songs I wrote. You know, where if it was a time when Denise and I weren't doing good or something and I wrote some stuff in there that other people might not hear, but I do. I know what it's about. Whatever happened to be going on at the time, all that brings back a lot of memories. Again, as I've gotten a little more mature, I hear some subtle changes in the songs that I've chosen.
- For week 49 of Nashville or Bust, Nathan Rabin covered The Avett Brothers.

- People say the music business is suffering, but Steve Martin say it's NOT. For proof, check out some of his actual royalty checks for songwriting. (via The Bluegrass Blog)
Here's a new video of Josh Grider performing his song "Crazy Like You." The disappearing/reappearing hat trick is super impressive.
18 Comments
Congrats to the Band Perry and Carrie Underwood!
I sure wouldn't mind sitting by a pool and listening to every Alan Jackson cut out there.
Interesting that HFA will send out checks for less than a dollar. A lot of administrators, record labels, PROs, et al. won't do that.
Rachel Proctor commented on her twitter that she recently got a check for .01 cents. Seems pretty ridiculous, but whatever…
That's my favorite Josh Grider song. He has an amazing voice and I swear that song would be a hit with country radio. Is that Drew Kennedy in the background too?
I've gotten royalty checks for $0.01, but it's typically when a licenser first establishes an account; after that, the licenser usually accounts until a threshold amount like $25 is reached, and then they'll cut a check. My PRO does the same sort of thing (though they'll send a year-end check, no matter how small), and I believe the other two do as well. I license my own stuff, so I've never seen a Harry Fox check, hence my comment.
It seems ridiculous until you are the person doing the books for that agency and you have 400 people who should be getting checks for between 1 and 22 cents and the IRS expects every single one of those cents to be accounted for. If you didn't send out checks for however much was earned at certain intervals it would just become a nightmare.
Not surprised to see The Band Of Heathens, Ray Wylie Hubbard and Carolina Chocolate Drops on that list.
…josh grider – the latest hat act? anyhow, he should have coughed up the extra 20 for a chick in a bikini, rather than settling for a chubby dude doing a blues brother imitation. the song's cool though.
Even more impressive is his guitar changing with his hat.
I really want to hear that Blake Shelton "Over You" cut, but I cant find it ANYWHERE on the internet. A google search yields nothing.
Finally, a 2010 Top 10 Country Singles list worth its salt! Way to go Razor-X! Its about time Sunny Sweeney got some "Top 10 List" appreciation this year. Go Sunny!
Its nice to see The Carolina Chocolate Drops and Robert Earl Keen in the Americana Top 10 for 2010. Its too bad Elizabeth Cook wasn't in that elite bracket but the sound quality of Elizabeth's vocals on "Welder" are pretty crappy, so I understand. I hope Elizabeth's association with Don Was was a one shot deal and her next album has nothing to do with T Bone Burnett either! Elizabeth, PLEASE do a bluegrass album full of gems like "Great Atomic Power". Pretty please…
Am I the only one who finds melody similarities between the Band Perry's "If I Die Young" and the Black Eyed Peas song "Big Girls Don't Cry"? Either way they are both superior songs and deserve to be as popular and successful as they are.
Mike Wimmer, if you email Razor-X through "My Kind of Country" who knows what Santa might email you for Christmas! (lol)
Mike: email me at email@example.com.
I spent hours yesterday looking up "Over You"…guess I wasn't the only one!
someone, one of the biggest stars in country music, gets a GOLDEN GLOBE nomination and its not even headlining news? americana awards and 5 other bs things are before that?
if there needed to be anymore proof that this site was biased … oh and if another competing artist would have gotten one (which she had not even though she had an eligible song) it would undoubtedly been at the top. please.
You're right; got me there. ( Your response is just another reason why this site is just one gigantic eye roll)
– great reporting.
…guess, for a die-hard carrie-fan the news that the world stopped turning would have to come only second after the damage report on what this incident caused to the underwood household – and her china in particular.

Arroyo is awful. Fontenot homers.
Arroyo is awful. Fontenot homers.
I would knock Zambrano down just to make a point.
Fontenot proves this Cubs team may just be destined for something more than normal. Gnats like him shouldn't be homering.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
I wouldn't fool around too much with Arroyo today. A quick hook would work for me.
Arroyo is due up 2nd this inning.
Ross homers to right. 9-5 Reds.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Ross should start more, if for no other reason to showcase him to other teams.
4 Reds home runs and it is just the 5th inning. This is a classic wind blowing out game at Wrigley.
This is amongst the slowest games I've ever watched.
"Bring on Rod Stupid!"
2 on and 2 out for the Cubs in the 5th. Arroyo is at 100 pitches.
Dusty's Dice says let him pitch to Edmonds. I hope they are right.
On a day when 3 Cubs pitchers have given up 9 runs, I'll take Arroyo's performance.
Also, I'm glad I learned that WGN is running Alf reruns!
Edmonds grounds out to end the inning. 9-5 Reds after 5. That should be the end for Arroyo today.

Hatred of Democracy
Verso, 2006 - Philosophy - 106 pages
Jacques Ranciere was a student of Althusser before he famously turned against his mentor; now, he's regarded as one of the major thinkers of our age. In his new book, he examines how the West can no longer simply extol the virtues of democracy by contrasting it with the horrors of totalitarianism.
As certain governments are exporting democracy by brute force, and a reactionary strand in mainstream political opinion is willing to abandon civil liberties and destroy collective values of equality, Ranciere explains how democracy—government by all—attacks any form of power based on the superiority of an elite. Hence the fear, and consequently the hatred, of democracy amongst the new ruling class.
In a compelling and timely analysis, Hatred of Democracy rediscovers the ever-new and subversive power of the democratic idea.

Rancičre produces a theory of democracy that is both constraining and destabilizing. He scathingly counters critics of the unrestrained liberty of democratic politics, of political action without any claim to legitimacy. Rancičre claims that those who seek to foundationalize politics in ethics or reason are in fact afraid of unpredictable democracy and if they seek to maintain an illusory authority, then perhaps they should be.
