Travel Blogs from Niigata
Sado & Niigata
... the airport. Luckily, the weekend ticket was much cheaper than weekday one. To get to the airport, however, we had to go to Niigata Train Station first and then catch another bus to the airport. At the train station, because there were not many buses going to the airport, we had plenty of waiting time. Fortunately, I found a bakery and cafe in the station building and it was the best place to kill time. Because my mother was eager to eat bread during the trip, she looked happy, ...
From Takayama to Niigata.
... and usually a wild river on one side of the track. There's the odd eagle flying above the river, a huge, black butterfly flying whimsically over the tracks at a station, the semiprofessional fishermen along the riverbanks, the farmers harvesting rice or apples and high up on the mountainside, the poles for electricity, which must have been a quite dangerous job when they were put up there. The houses are gathered in hamlets or villages and some are so close to the track so ...
Festival time in Niigata
... acts including the stirring Taiko drumming; parades of shrines, traditional costumes and floats, an open air pop gig and jazz evening; and the grand finale, the Hannabai Taikai, a spectacular firework display with thousands gathered along the riverfront, and apparently 10,000 explosions.

Sawada Family Hospitality
I worked with Shun Sawada in 1995 teaching English at Niitsu High School and had the pleasure of meeting his lovely wife, Suzuyo, many times as she taught me Ikebana, Japanese flower arranging.

Day 10 Tokyo - Niigata
Leaving Tokyo around 9am we headed for then city of Niigata on the west coast, we had decided to spend a night in Niigata before catching the ferry across to Sado island the following day just to make things a little easier for a change. Arriving in Niigata the amazing tourist information staff booked us a comfortable 3 bed western style hotel (with an en-suit :D ) around 10 minutes walk away.

Baker High School has taken honors for this year's Vera House White Ribbon Campaign High School Challenge in the suburban category.
Teams of students from 11 area schools competed to raise money for Vera House. Baker High School's campaign, which was lead by the school's National Honor Society, raised $5,008. Thomas Magnarelli, advisor to the honor society, said students sold white ribbons and bracelets, and took pledges from people who donated money they would have spent on various luxuries for a month such as manicures, coffee and haircuts.
Over the last 10 years, Baker's National Honor Society has raised more than $30,000 for Vera House, Magnarelli said.

Baltimore MD 21230
After practicing in multiple areas of the law for several years, Mr. Maher conluded that it would be best to focus on only one area of the law. He felt by having one concentration he could provide high-level service to his clients at an affordable price. We are able to achieve this goal because Landlord-Tenant law is our sole practice area and because we utilize a web-based interface that enables our clients to transmit rent case information over our website, thereby eliminating the need for most data entry by clients and this office. We are a small firm, and our long-time employees provide a personal touch with our services.
It is likely that our fees are less than you currently pay another landlord-Tenant attorney, and we deliver our services with a personal touch.

Rope and Can Bird Feeder
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This Rope and Can Bird Feeder is one of the easiest crafts out there - even your kids could help create it. Use an old tin can and some rope to make this eco-friendly DIY bird feeder. In 20 minutes, you'll have a fantastic bird feeder to hang from your house, garage, or anywhere outside you'd like. You and your family will have fun watching all the different types of birds come and go all spring long.
- Clean tin can – keep the lid (I used a large tomato can)
- Sisal rope
- Piece of metal for post (sorry, I don't even know what I used, it was just a scrap I found in the garage)
- Glue gun and glue
Take the tin can lid and bend it in half.
Take the metal for the post and glue it down so that there is enough room for the birds to perch while they eat.
Insert your can lid so that it fits nicely over the metal piece you just glued in and is just inside the opening of the can and glue into place making sure there are no openings for the seed to fall through.
Find the top middle of the can and glue a long piece of sisal rope (about 2.5 ft) from top to bottom of the can so that you have 1 ft on either side of the can hanging off (you'll tie this together at the end) - this will be the part that hangs from the hook or tree.
Now, starting at the top of the can, slowly glue down the sisal rope from one end to the other by going around the can in a circular motion until you reach the bottom of the can. Cut the rope and glue in ends.
Cut a piece of rope the exact size of the front of the can and glue on around the top/front edge to help give a nicer finished look to the feeder.
Tie the two 1 foot piece ends that are still hanging to the sides together in a knot.
Fill with bird seed and hang from a hook or tree.

We sound like a bunch of "Nervous Nellies" this morning. Rejoice---we gave up a great glove---that's it. Even iffffffffff BenC made a mistake, which he didn't, we got a guy with a sound arm and a sore rib. The Sox looked at the Medical Records, he's good to go.
I like the trade--I love the trade, another solid veteran that knows how to pitch for a no hit good glove SS we were having a hard time protecting in the order along with a weak hitting Drew and a weak hitting Gomes and a weak hitting Salty. Now we can replace the weak hitting SS with two potential bats WMB or Xman.
Who knows--we are certainly stronger in the pitching dept than we were yesterday and we are not reduced by much defensively.
Money wise--you are not signing Ells or Nap next season--so you have covered Peavy's salary.

Fight leads to assault chargeJanuary 22,2013
MONTPELIER A simple assault charge from the weekend has been upgraded to aggravated assault, police said Monday.
Todd A. Ploof, 46, of Montpelier, was charged following a fight around 8 p.m. Friday in his River Street apartment with another man in which Ploof bit the victim, police said.
The victim received medical treatment and was released from the hospital, police said. Ploof also obtained medical treatment, which police characterized as an attempt to stall going to jail.
Ploof was being held at the Northeast Regional Correctional Facility in St. Johnsbury over the weekend and as of Monday night. He will answer the charge in court Tuesday.
Following the incident, the victim left a River Street residence late Friday night and met with police at the front of the House of Tang restaurant, police said.

Dell Inspiron 15 5000 reviewTechRadar Pro
Dell's latest is a sturdy machine with good internals, but it's let down by its ergonomics and screen.
Dell's latest is a sturdy machine with good internals, but it's let down by its ergonomics and screen.
It's well-made and has an office-friendly specification, but can the Latitude compete with rival notebooks?
There is no shortage of excellent Ultrabooks. Has Dell's new approach to screen real estate placed it atop the rankings? Now with video!
Dell is inching itself closer and closer to the top echelon of enterprise tablets. Just a few minor issues separate this device from the best on the market.
Dell has produced a monster workstation laptop with high-end components and an eye-watering price. Is this the ultimate office laptop?
The Dell Inspiron 15 7000 sports a beautiful aluminum design and plenty of horsepower under the hood, but the speakers could be better.
Designed with students in mind, Dell shows off the budget-priced Inspiron 11 3000 laptop-tablet hybrid.
A powerful laptop with a high-end Core i7 processor, up to 32GB of memory and an Nvidia Quadro graphics card.
The Dell XPS 11 is a sleek, carbon fiber-bodied 2K laptop, but goes for a little too steep of a price.

TSS Symposium Europe - Day 1
The symposium kicked of with a keynote session by John Davies, the CTO of C24. John's address mainly covered the choice of technology stack in the investment-banking sector. It was heartening to hear finally Jini and JavaSpaces are being adopted as a mainstream technology for realising enterprise middleware. John also mentioned the increasing acceptance of open source software like Maven, Spring and Hibernate in the banking arena. Maven is increasingly becoming the build tool of choice, despite the criticisms by most who have never had the good fortune of using it and just want to jump on the bandwagon on whining about how complex Maven is. It was also interesting to hear how big investment banks are shying away from full-stack J2EE containers and instead using Tomcat along the lightweight persistent frameworks. We will have to wait and see whether this trend would be reversed with the adoption of JEE 5.0 and EJB 3.0. Another interesting point was that Java 5 is being adopted for the performance gains more than the new language and API features.
The next session I attended was by Geert Bevin on flow and continuations. Geert did a good job explaining continuations at a conceptual level. It is a quite powerful concept and quite affective for complex control logic that is difficult to solve with primitive control constructs available in modern programming languages. Geert , then showed how continuations were implemented in the RIFE web application framework. It was interesting how RIFE implemented pause and continuation by byte-code amendment and taking a snapshot of the stack frame. I am not sure how efficient this is. It would also be interesting to see whether a future version of Java language would have language level support for continuations.
Next session was something I was eagerly waiting for, Gavin King's session on Seam. I was a bit disappointed with the session as a whole, as Gavin spent half of the session on how flawed was the whole concept of stateless architecture and criticising dependency injection and some of the popular DI frameworks. Al though, some of Gavin's arguments were valid and interesting, the point on HTTP session replication and the Servlet specification mandating a call to
setAttribute to enable session replication was factually incorrect. Though, I have always had the same opinion on developers being concerned about using stateful session beans, because of state replication overheads in a cluster, however having no inhibitions in dumping everything and the kitchen sink into the HTTP session. All in all, Seam appeared to be an interesting framework for integrating JSF and EJB component models with a heavy emphasis on stateful session beans.
Mike Keith presented a session on EJB 3.0. It was more on the component model rather than JPA. I am not sure I quite like this concept of being able to inject only certain kind of references into only managed components like EJBs, Servlets etc. This will encourage the developers to write everything as an EJB or a Servlet. I am looking forward to Mike's session on JPA tomorrow.
I was really in two minds about whether to go for Gregor Hohpe's session on SOA or Ross Mason's session on Mule. Finally, ended up at Ross's session because of the recent work I have been doing with Mule. The session was pretty basic, didn't get to know much more than what I already knew. However, had an interesting chat with Ross on roadmap for Mule.
Last session for the day was by Cedric Beust on TestNG. Junit has revolutionized the way we test in the last five years or so. It has been a wonderful framework. However, it has also shaped our psychology and mindset on jow we do testing. This is more of the fault of us using JUnit for something it was not intended for. Junit is a unit-testing framework and by design has an extremely stateless paradigm for testing. This doesn't really fit into the more complex requirements of functional, component-level and system testing. To test a complex piece of functionality you often need to execute a set of tests in a stateful context, and this is what TestNG offers. Cedric's session was the best of the day. It was quiet relieving that TestNG annotations can use either Java 5 or Javadoc tags for JDK 1.4.

Go play something that is completely different, delve into the indie scene or something. It seems like you are just overtly negative just to be negative.

Yeah, that makes sense.
The difference between games existed so much back then because MMOs were being made by developers who loved MMOs and wanted to make a game that they'd play. Now publishers run the ship. People absolutely knew what they liked back then, its a stupid thing to claim.
I bet the same people claiming this isn't a clone are the same people who claimed that AoC, or LotRO, or launch day Rift or SWTOR weren't clones.

I just attained lvl 40 has a dragoon and I have to move a LOT in my fights. I got skills that require specific placement like hitting from behind or the flank. Every mob or so has a AOE skill that require you to move.
And for the tab-targeting its the same as WoW, I do use tab-target to switch target and use my WASD key to move freely without being "Locked" to a target. Maybe it is different for Ps3 tho I didnt try it on the console yet.
But it is true that the game is paced down compared to WoW and it gives it a FF feeling. Which I really like.

Hello, BadSpock! First of all: Thank you for this thread! It's almost exactly what I was looking for; a short first review from the perspective of a frequent MMORPG / WoW player. So I hope no one will mind me asking my question to the OP and interrupting the important conflict of how many skills which FF really had and ... yeah, that stuff. ;)
I have tested ARR multiple times now on a few beta weekends and for some reason I ... "forgot" the launch. *laughs nervously* Would be funny if it wasn't so sad. (I was excited so much for FFXIV back then... And never did I NOT buy any big MMO at launch up until Disappointment Wars 2...) Anyways! There's something you said that I have to hang on to and ask a question about:
The reason I ... lost interest, if you'll call it that way, is that my impressions from the last beta I played two or three weeks ago was a "feeling" that it is almost the opposite. Now, don't get me wrong. I know about the FATEs, the Dungeons, etc.
But it felt like I was running from one boring "Talk to X" and "Bring X to Y" quest to another, and I found it to be even less fun than the usual "Kill X Monsters for me pls" quests (which I don't even mind so much ! ).
It's hard to describe what I mean... I loved almost every FF game and I share most of your opinions on how they really got the feeling caught in the slower, ~2 sec GCD battle-style.
But the areas looked so static, artificial and ... almost smaller than they actually were, or narrowed down although FATEs aren't quite something you could call linear at all ;)
I hope you can get what I mean or rather, felt. It's really difficult to describe or even explain what it is exactly.
The crafting system looks so fun and promising, the autoloot function and the fact that there's almost no trash loot and anything you find can be used for crafting or other things alone is one of the best ideas and realization of a loot system I've seen in YEARS (I can't even come up with any other game that has this right now), the fact that you can be all classes with only one, YOUR, character....
There's just SO much I love about ARR, but all those big disappointment of the last years (with GW2 being the absolute climax) have made me so extremely sceptical that I'm afraid I will be just wandering around in Eorzea for hours talking to boring NPCs and trying to find the right teleporters for the next boring walk to the next "cutscene"... =/ )
I'd be so happy to get a response from you (or any other player of the game who thinks he can help me out! :) )
Thanks so much!

They somehow managed to make the game "feel" right and make you enjoy playing. The ability to switch out your class at will when you get to that point really helps keep things fresh, if you reach a point where you have had too much of your class for the day or month, you get a really different play style experience for the most part by switching up your class :)

Do go on about how I was wrong for pointing out such flagrant misinformation.
Moreover I don't care about the amount of skills FFXIV has, I care that you be correct when attempting to make any sort of argument. That also goes for reviews. This isn't anything against you or the game, I just happened to catch that mistake while perusing the worlds largest FFXIV fanbase.(subjective, but you know I'm right.)
However if we are posting numbers a character in FF6 had access to 49 unique spells, 1 summon, and whatever other character abilities they had.

I can't really understand why many players go "Ohhhh this game is so good, everything feels nice, and it's different from wow clone, SO FUN". I guess it's because FFXIV is a Japanese MMO. And design, art and music in XIV is clearly Japanese style, that makes it different, and players want something different.
I'm also in the "This game is just average at best" crew, but I can kinda guessed it's because there aren't many Japanese MMO on the market, so it feels different when it comes to art, music, slower pace and team oriented content.
You mentioned you played FFXI, you would probably find XIV it's really, really similar to FFXI in many ways. XI also starts slow and bland, with polished graphic(compare with other 2002 games it looks pretty nice), force grouping, animation and music, and a very relaxing atmosphere + super nice community, despite the gameplay is bland, it's still pretty addictive.
In past 10 years market's full of WoW clones made by NA/EU/Asia, followed similar design philosophy. A Japanese MMO like this stands out, and players want something new and different.
That being said, I've played XI for many years, so I may not play this game for more than a couple of months, because I'm just not into another slow paced MMO in same style, and I don't play games for good graphic/music either. What XIV would offer, such as graphics, exploration, atmosphere, job system, I probably experienced them all in XI. I haven't make it to endgame, and not interested in endgame anyways, I did a lot of quests and dungeons in XIV, but nothing really stand out for me sadly. It's just too similar to XI, and XI in WoW style isn't what I want. Unlike other FFXI players that plays FFXIV because they liked FFXI, another FFXI in 2013 isn't what I want.
I also disagree with "games gonna be good once you experience them all and do endgame". Most of the players probably don't play MMO for endgame, at least not me, nor majority of my friends. Game should be fun from the start. FFXI is terrible until endgame(and endgame still terrible anyways) is a flaw, not anything positive.
Party oriented design may feel different at start due to waves of MMO being solo friendly, after years of dealing with building a party in XI, it's more of a flaw to me.

I really don't feel that this game is a wow clone by any means, people associate Global Cool Downs and the Trinity with WoW, when really that has been around since way before WoW. Everquest 2 had one of the most extensive combat systems out of any game, and one that has never been redone, but even if it was, it wouldn't make it an Everquest 2 clone.
This game feels very Japanese, which I'm sort of hit or miss with. My main complaint is the gear doesn't change a lot it seems. At least not the different tier basic gear. Kinda just changes colour, but that's a very minor complaint.
I also for one am happy for the forced grouping. It's about time a company has done this. So many MMO's have started to put in support for people to just solo around, maybe duo everything until end game. That's not what MMORPGs are about, at least not what they used to be like, and definitely not for someone like me. It's why I got so sick of GW2 so fast., and why the way Everquest 2 has progressed has killed me. Granted the population is part of the reason for mercenaries etc .

I don't like your pants.
It's the most borring cookie cutter themepark game I've played so far. First time after 15 years I didn't even manage to get to max level. I quit yesterday after dragging myself through first 30 levels. I knew exactly what I'm getting into. I lowered my expectations as per usual, and due to vast experience I have with gaming I lol'd at all the fans spamming "but it gets better after 20". I gave it a good go but I'm dissapointed.
Not a single one thing I could say why it's better than king of themeparks that WoW (still) is.

After nearly 1 month of playing FFXIV:ARR, I feel FFXIV is nothing like XI, but more like WoW. The more I play the more I feel so.
Just to point out a few key differences:
1. Gameplay:
FFXI feels like a virtual world intended to take over your real life, everything is extremely time consuming, and it needs time to build your connection to progress. But in the end, your connection matters.
FFXIV feels "linear". It feels like an offline FF title with online function, and the game just holds hand and tell you exactly where to go and what to do next.
2. Battle System:
Battle system is nothing like XI.
XI battle system= TP WS TP WS TP WS if you're DD(DPS), sometimes pop a few ability, cure cure cure buff buff buff if you're healers.
There are little to no rotation in XI, gear swap system is the core mechanic of XI battle system. Doing a WS? Switch to WS set. Need accuracy? Switch to accuracy set. Weakened and not enough HP to sustain lots of damage? Switch to HP+ set. Want to cast cure? Cure potency set. Your performance depend on your quality and amount of gear sets, and whether you swap them on right time, but less about perfect ability execution.....there are not many abilities to execute, really.
XIV battle system= You do more damage if you do rotation right, and able to dodge AoE.
3. Lving up:
XI = Sit in town for hours, until you get invite or make a party yourself. Then you party for hours. Most players find this extremely boring, but this party system kinda force players to chat when grinding level, because it's just killing same stuff for hours. In the end, you either make friends while killing stuff and have a good time, or you got extremely bored. It's more like a glorified chat room where you can kill stuff, making social aspect much stronger in XI.
XIV= You either dungeon, solo fate, fate party or solo quests. There are more options to level up, and usually more fun than XI, but very little social aspect. Dungeons are too intense to chat with other players, fate party are more relaxed and more like XI party, but with party members come and go you can't really chat for long.
4. Difficulty:
XI: XI is very, very unfriendly to new players. Certain quests needs new player go into high level areas on low level job, and plenty of deaths for inexperienced players :)
Getting runic portal or doing limit break as a low level new player still send shiver down my spine whenever I think about it :)
XIV: XIV's difficulty is mostly about failing to dodge enemy AoE in instances, or your party member failing to dodge AoE.
Sometimes your DPS can't deal enough damage. But that's very different kind of difficulty. XI's difficulty is hard to forget. XIV's difficulty is something I've experienced in many other games.
I'm sure there are other differences, but I feel XI has a much stronger social aspect, XIV feels like a single player game, you beat A to do B so you can beat C, just with a chat log and other players.

Actually, the term was, "A dozen or so", leaving some wiggle room.
Also, if you remove the spells which are just higher level versions of previous ones, you do indeed end up with about the number stated. There are exceptions of course, but for the most part his statement holds true.
To respond to those claiming there will be a mass exodus after a month: I've heard this song before guys. When a month passes and a game is doing well even after the content locusts leave, you'll start claiming that TWO months is the magic number. After that, it'll be 3 months, and so on and so forth.
Been there, done that, got the membership jacket. Personally I think spouting such garbage violates this forum's rules on excessive negativity (I'll have to go back and check), but that's just my opinion.

Metropolitan Opera Announces Cast Change Advisory for Tomorrow

There is an old saying that captures the difficulty of human communication among humans: "I know you think you understood what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard wasn't what I meant."
In allegiance to that reality, many veteran air travelers hearing of the Transportation Security Administration's announcement Dec. 2 about an impending rule change substituted wishful thinking for fact. Yes, there had been discussion of a small liberalization of the rules, but to judge from the artificial snorting in some warrens on Capitol Hill, you would have thought TSA had just announced that broadswords and machetes were now welcome in airline cabins.
No, there will still be stringent rules, and machetes will still be outlawed.
The TSA announcement wasn't just about liberalizing some of the carry-on rules and taking some items off the previously prohibited list. It was also about making the system less predictable, and that will be accomplished by trusting the screeners -- now appropriately called TSOs, or transportation security officers -- to actually use their intellect and discretion in deciding what (and who) needs a closer look.
In other words, much of the announcement was profoundly important, but it got lost when the spotlight lit up a renewed acceptance of small scissors and other items sometimes found in the bottom of a purse -- items the TSA says have amounted to fully 25 percent of the "things" they've had to confiscate from honest citizens devoid of lethal intent.
For many males in the audience, the announcement of impending change was hopefully interpreted as perhaps including those tiny pen knives we're required by the guy code to carry. Many of us have surrendered at least a few such little folding knives to TSA in past years after forgetting to leave them at home before a trip.
And for some of us (names have been omitted here to protect the guilty, but I'll never do it again), losing six or eight of them has sometimes been required in order to learn the lesson. Of course pen knives and things with sharp blades of any sort have been completely prohibited since 9/11, and they still will be.
What will change on Dec. 22 is TSA's attitude toward a very limited selection of household items such as scissors of 4 inches or less, or certain tools under 7 inches, like screwdrivers. Leatherman tools or anything with a blade will still be prohibited, and frankly, so will anything else that could easily be used as lethal weapon. That's what a lot of us missed in the reportage of the changes and the resulting grousing from a few lawmakers.
But there's an important caution here: The list of newly legalized items you'll now be able to bring aboard is not necessarily intuitive, so until you go to www.tsa.gov and search out the official list of approved items, do not assume that something once prohibited is now OK.
There was, of course, a lot more to the story and the concept behind the changes, much of it about facing reality. First, 9/11-class terrorists need predictability and certainty of success in a big-attack operation, and thus they're thwarted by uncertainty and any substantial risk their plans might not succeed.

Worth the time to assemble
Amy from Parkville, MD – Verified Buyer
It took me about 5 hours on my own (with some breaks) to fully unpack, assemble, and clean up this beautiful desk. It is VERY sturdy and it was well designed with vent or chord holes on the inside of seating area of desk instead of behind which can be unattractive unless against a wal. If you are trying to assemble this, make sure in steps 2 and 3 to put together the bottom pannel and base first before attaching it to outside pannels (parts B, C, or D, E)
Worth the effort
Gina from St. Louis, MO – Verified Buyer
This desk arrived very quickly which is always a bonus. Assembly took 5-6 hours but the instructions are very detailed and relatively easy to follow. The only issue is the sliding middle drawer. For some reason it won't slide in all the way. Planning to call the customer help line included with the instructions to request assistance. Other than that, the desk looks good and is very sturdy. It's of good quality and a great addition to our room.
Really nice desk.
Kelli from Brookville, OH – Verified Buyer
This desk is very nice quality. It is hard wood, not pressed and for the most part everything lined up pretty well. The middle right drawer is just slightly crooked, but not very noticeable. As far as putting it together, it does take a couple of hours, but honestly, I think it took me longer to unwrap all the pieces! They actually wrap and tape each piece very carefully. It took forever, but there wasn't a stray mark anywhere!
Perfect desk
Sandy from Philadelphia, pa. – Verified Buyer
Very difficult to put together. Had to use screws instead of the hardware that came with it. But when put together it was well worth it. The desk is beautiful. It is a very heavy desk, so I would suggest putting it in its place first before setting the top on it, or it will be too heavy to move all together. The company is very cooperative and I would buy from them again.
Excellent Choice!
Pat from Chattanooga, TN – Verified Buyer
After searching for months to find a desk to replace the one we have had for years, we finally decided on this one. It has all of the options we were looking for. (plus a few extras!) The design is exactly what we wanted. We had read about the difficulty some people had with putting this desk together and also that some people had parts missing or damaged. The appearance of the desk and the price made us want to give it a try any way. The assembly was not difficult! All the necessary parts arrived in 100 good condidion as well! This desk is an excellent quaity product for a very reasonable price! I would definitely recommend it!
Great looking desk - poor craftsmanship
Jessica from Plainfield, IL – Verified Buyer
I purchased this desk to put in my living room office. The product came quickly, but upon opening the packaging there were a few damaged pieces as well as poorly manufactured pieces.I contacted the manufacturer and they quickly sent replacements which was great but upon putting the desk together it was quite a nightmare. My husband and I are both very experienced with putting furniture together, there were several pieces where the holes were drilled incorrectly. We had to use our own tools and re drill the holes so that the screws would fit in the lock nuts. The piece took well over 6 hours to construct from start to finish. The finished product looks beautiful but with close inspection you can see where pieces didn't quite line up. For a desk that costs over $400 it is not worth the cost.
Good quality bad assembly
Diana from Westbrook, ME – Verified Buyer
The desk is sturdy and is great quality. Unfortunately, the assembly was painfully complicated and the assembly instructions were not correct, leaving my husband improvising to make the parts work. I would buy the desk again if we didn't have to deal with the headache of putting it together. Liked not paying for shipping and constant updates of where my package was.
Nice piece of furniture
Mark from Fort Wayne, IN – Verified Buyer
Bought this desk and couldn't be happier with it. Very solid piece of furniture. My only complaint is the goofy twising toggle apparatii that they use to hold the top on. I hate those things and which furniture manufacturers would just screw things together. Over time, they always seem to loosen up. So far, though, this desk is wonderful and a beautiful piece of furniture and works well!
Worth the price
Randolph from Haverhill, MA – Verified Buyer
A little tough to assemble as they don't really give instructions, just drawings. Some panels where missing stickers, so a little educated guesswork is needed. However, the fit is pretty good, it is very functional and no parts or screws were missing. I just ordered a file cabinet to go along with it (don't make the same exact style unfortunately, but close enough). Just take your time and you have a nice desk for less money than elsewhere.
Nice solid desk
Norm from Maryville, TN – Verified Buyer
The desk is very nice once assembled. It is heavy at around 180 lbs. Assembly took me about 4 to 5 hours all together. The assembly instructions could be clearer in some parts, but overall not bad. Delivery was very timely. Very pleased with my purchase.

text: Right before halftime, with Cal leading 14-10, Oregon State's QB ran past the LOS and threw a pass. Replays showed he clearly crossed the LOS by two yards and the refs missed it. It should have been a five yard penalty that backed OSU out of FG position. Instead they were able to nail a 50+ yard FG. It didn't look like much then but now that could be a huge factor in this game.

Chairman of struggling Kuwait Airways steps down
Chairman of Kuwait Airways (KAC) Ahmad Al-Zaben has offered his resignation, citing lack of government financial support. The carrier has recorded poor performance since it re-launched operations after the 1991 Iraqi invasion.
In his resignation letter published by Al-Qabas, Zaben accused Kuwait's Finance Minister Mahmoud Al-Nouri of withholding the "necessary support to overcome the difficulties and obstacles" affecting KAC.
Zaben also accused the minister of "orchestrating" problems with the airline's board of directors and "distorting my image…to use me as a scapegoat" for KAC's troubles.
Last week, Nouri warned KAC's board of directors that members would be fired if a reform plan was not put into place. The airline has accumulated $1.8 billion in losses over the past 11 years.
KAC was founded privately in 1954, but over a period of time was bought out entirely by the Kuwaiti government. Zaben is the second chairman to resign since 1999, when former head of the airline Ahmad al-Mishari quit over allegations of mismanagement. — (menareport.com)
