I updated to 1.2.1 recently. All looked okay from the plugin update screen and I didn't look at my site after the update.
Now that I do, I see a warning at the top of each page|post|index:
Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/vhosts/companjen.name/subdomains/ben/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/polylang/include/mo.php on line 57
The homepage http://ben.companjen.name is unavailable because of this warning ("headers already sent"); if I append "/nl" or "/en", the languages that I use, I do get the respective homepages.
From looking at the code, the line causing the warning is in
foreach (unserialize($post->post_content) as $msg). Could there be something wrong in the database causing
unserialize to go "can't do that"?
In the database I notice inconsistent values for
_translations keys:
(post 346)
(post 359)
(post 733)
(post 765)
The first one is off, and I don't know why. The last one is again different. Is this causing trouble?
Most noticeable, though, is that all posts with type "image" have no language information anymore when looking at the posts overview.
What can I do? Normalise the database values?

Hello, May I know how do I password protect my posts? The "Post Password" box is empty. Any idea how to solve it?
Hello, May I know how do I password protect my posts? The "Post Password" box is empty. Any idea how to solve it?
I don't use this, but have you tried putting a password into that box at all ?
My understanding is that there is not a global password set for this. The password is set for each individual post. In this way, you don't have to worry about everyone who has a password getting at your private posts...in other words, you can give out a password to someone for a specific post because it concerns them, but that password can be different than all the other protected posts.
So, you have to manually enter a password for each post.
But I dont see any box for me to type the password into. Its just an empty boxed-up section there.
Try posting one today and leave it up, so we can see what you're talking about.
After you get to the "Post" page, click "Advanced Editing" (by the POST button). Then , in the upper right hand corner, there should be a password box.
Okay peeps, I am sorry. But I just found out that the field for me to key in the password is actually below the Title boxed-up area. I guess the layout's problem now. thanks so much for everyone's help! =)
I am pretty sure that is doing the same as the before suggested example.
It's not what I am after though
I want te whole blog page to be viewable by al public.
however if i make a protected post, in the place where that post would normally be on the index page or archive, it will say the date and then title and then say this is a private post blah blah .. i have attached an image just to highlight what I want.
this is a b2 powered site, it has some hacks but i don't believe this is a hack.
the Sat Nov. 20th is the private post the actual page is located
I hoped I was doing a favour by using an old post rather than creating a new one .. but I haven't had any replies ?
someone must know how this is done.
I'm not following. Have you tried putting a password on a post and it doesn't work? My understanding is that it should do what you are wanting.
No, my problem is that when ever i try to change anything (includeing my pw) it doesnt change it just basicly refreshes the page, or when i try and delete a post it just takes me to the write a post page.
hmmmmm im just gona try and download again and reinstall and if that dont work than i give up.
I am not talking about password protecting a post, I have no idea what Paul-ish is talking about.
I have the User-level plug in on. What I want to do is with that plug in, if you are not logged in and there is a post protected for users of a certain level you can't see the post as normal but you get a teaser like in http://giles.shaxted.co.uk/Clip.jpg which says you should log in to see this post or emai me if you don't have a log in ... canthis be done ?
This topic has been closed to new replies.

"Maine ek baar commitment kar di to uske baad main khud ki bhi nai sunta"..Although i hate Salman khan to the core still to explain you people what i mean i had to use it......ok so...CA students too need to make some commitments(no no relationship wali nahi budhu..)..Commitment to yourself...Your career ... Your future....!!!!
Kuch faisle zindagi badal dete hain....
All lovely kids of ICAI have some key decisions to make during their student life whether now or tomorrow.The earlier you make these decisions the better for your academic career.....
1.Self study or Coaching - aahhh...long old discussion.lets see..
DECISION to be made is --- Which are the subjects for which you need coaching??(i feel we are mature enough to read at least 1-2 subjects by ourselves i guess) This can vary from student to student. Some find theory papers easy enough to read themselves while some wanna have deep expert knowledge in these subjects too..Analyse your abilities and take the decision accordingly...
What needs to be done??
Try and start the subject yourself..ek baar book khol ke to dekho andar kya maal bhara hua hai??Then judge where you stand..
It really sounds stupid when students join classes that actually they should not just coz their friends are joining it..Dosti ke naam!!! ufffff...to ek kaam kijiye ..apni CA ki degree bhi dost ke naam kurbaan kar dijiye....If you want then go for some demo classes and take the decision withing 10-15 days ... coaching chahiye ya khud hi ho jayega???
And there is no shame in taking help from a teacher...they are there to help you only..Dont think of it as spoon feeding..Take it as sitting under a shower of knowledge pouring over you from your teacher's head...
Thank God 1 decision is taken...Next thing to ponder over is-
2. Subjects-
Main har subject me 100 me 100 padh ke jaunga aur 101 number laakar dikhaunga..!!!
Wah bhai wah!!! Einstine aur Newton ke bhi baap ho tum to yar....!!
please dont think like this.. You cant try to be master to each and every subject in a professional exam...You are overburdened with so many uncountable things..ICAI jab dekho tab new bomb blasts karti rehti hai!!...Now trying to eat up each and every page of each subject can prove detrimental to your cause my dear..kahin lene ke dene na pad jaye...coz time to limited hai..!!!
koi 4-5 saal baad to exam nai dene ka socha hai na aapne???? if the answer is in affirmative then my article is over for you(bye bye)..but if your answer is no then please listen to me very carefully...
Every student is unique in his/her abilities.Some students dont find IT and SM worth reading...Others might find costing too tough to handle...For some Tax is a tough cookie to crack...Start reading the books...After 1 month decide in your mind...
1.Which is my favourite paper??
2.Which papers are easy enough for me to try and get exemption??
3.Which papers do i find hard and i just need to cross 40??
When you decide this in your mind then plan accordingly....Do not try to gain mastery over everything coz you are not!!!...Plan your studies accordingly...Devote your time to those subjtcts accordingly...
Once a decision is taken..Its full and final...idhar udhar bhatkoge to bhatakte hi rahoge..Wanted ka Salman Khan banna hai ya nahi?.Aaj yahan kal wahan..!!To CA hai kahan?????At last i would conclude with a wonderful poem by Late shri Hariwansh Rai Bachchan..
Good luck!!

Despite the claims that make this sound like an advanced moisturizer for dry, cracked feet, this is an incredibly basic fragrance-free foot cream that's mostly a blend of water-binding agents with wax and greasy emollients. It's an OK option for dry skin on the feet, but the pH doesn't permit the AHA-like ingredients to exfoliate skin. That's too bad, because a well formulated moisturizing exfoliant for feet can make a significant improvement in their feel and appearance. Any of the BHA products from Paula's Choice would run circles around this product, especially if your concern is thickened, dry, or cracked skin on your feet.

Mayweather Set To Earn Record Purse in Cotto Clash
By David Mayo, special for BoxingScene.com.
LAS VEGAS -- Floyd Mayweather will earn the biggest guaranteed purse in boxing history, $32 million, when he fights Miguel Cotto, according to contracts filed with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
They fight Saturday night, at MGM Grand, for Cotto's World Boxing Association super welterweight title.
Because Mayweather's contract also includes pay-per-view percentages, he figures to earn more than four times the $8 million purse for the champion Cotto.
The biggest previous guaranteed purses in boxing history were $30 million, for Mike Tyson in his second loss to Evander Holyfield, in 1997, a fight best known for Tyson biting a chunk out of Holyfield's ear; and for Lennox Lewis when he knocked out Tyson in 2002.
Mayweather's largest previous guarantee was $25 million for last September's victory over Victor Ortiz.
The largest take for a single fighter in boxing history is an estimated $53 million, for Oscar De La Hoya, when he lost to Mayweather in 2007. De La Hoya's base purse was $23.3 million and he made the rest on pay-per-view and residual income.

If You're Thinking of Living in: Ramsey
By JERRY CHESLOW
Published: May 19, 1991
ALTHOUGH the six-square-mile borough of Ramsey grew up around its railroad station, there is no wrong side of the tracks. On one end is a private golf club and on the other houses priced from $500,000 to $1 million.
The roots of the northern New Jersey borough date to 1848, when the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad opened a line to connect Paterson with ferries crossing the Hudson River to New York. One stop along the way was named Ramsey's, after Peter J. Ramsey, a farmer who sold the land for the station to the railroad.
At the time, strawberry farming supported the area's landowners. A local history states that during the berry-harvesting season of 1850, when Ramsey's was part of Ho-Ho-Kus Township, up to eight railroad cars full of strawberries were sent to Manhattan every night.
In 1907, when Ramsey's already had a business district, electricity, a telephone exchange and a wide range of civic services, local leaders began discussing secession from rural Ho-Ho-Kus. On March 18, 1908, the State Legislature approved the formation of Ramsey Borough.
Nicholas C. Saros, the borough administrator, said 98.5 percent of the land in Ramsey is developed. Its railroad station, built in 1869, is now owned by New Jersey Transit, and many residents commute to New York City. Despite its development, the borough, in the shadow of the Ramapo Mountains, still has a rural ambiance, with tree-lined streets, wooded lots and 150 acres set aside for green space under the New Jersey Green Acres Program.
Gus Pascale, a sales representative at Weichert Realtors on Franklin Turnpike, said the borough "is one of the most desirable towns in Bergen County, so properties have sustained their values" despite the real-estate slump.
Many three-bedroom houses, built in the 1920's and 30's within walking distance of the train station, can still be had for "the low 200's," Mr. Pascale said. A three-bedroom, one-bath, center-hall colonial on a 100- by 125-foot lot recently sold for $205,000.
Three hundred houses are on the grounds of the Ramsey Country Club and Golf Course on the eastern end of the borough. These range in price from about $220,000 for a three-bedroom, one-bath house on a 75- by 100-foot lot to about $380,000 for a five-bedroom, three-bath house on a third of an acre. Deed restrictions require homeowners to belong to the club, with an initiation fee of $1,000 and an obligation to spend at least $100 a month at the club.
The most expensive homes were built in the late 70's and early 80's on the western side. Prices range from about $380,000 for a three-bedroom, two-bath colonial on half an acre to about $1 million for some five-bedroom, three-bath colonials on an acre.
There are eight major condominium developments. At the largest, the 220-unit Timber Valley on Franklin Turnpike, prices range from about $115,000 for a one-bedroom unit to about $170,000 for a two-bedroom with a loft. Some of the borough's least expensive homes are in the 147-unit Washington Drive Condominium, with one- and two-bedroom apartments priced at $80,000 to $120,000.
One of the most luxurious condominium developments is the 70-unit Peach Hill, off Airmount Avenue. Two- to four-bedroom units go for $230,000 to $320,000.
Rental apartments are scarce, with rents ranging from about $850 for one-bedroom apartments to $1,100 or $1,200 for two-bedrooms. There is one 20-unit rental building. The others are over stores and in two-family homes and in the only co-op apartment complex, Ferncroft Cooperatives off Franklin Turnpike, where some of the 70 units may be rented. When sold, they were priced from $40,000 for one-bedroom apartments to $60,000 for two-bedrooms.
There are four supermarkets and four major shopping centers, the largest of which is the Interstate Shopping Center at Franklin Turnpike and Route 17. Most residents also shop in the Victorian-style central business district, which has about 100 brick-faced boutiques, banks and specialty stores, clustered around the train station on Main Street.
In rush hours, Route 17, the only main highway through the borough, is congested, especially near its intersection with Lake Street. An overpass is scheduled for completion in October, but meanwhile the construction has made a bad situation worse.
Among the popular dining places are Cafe Panache on Main Street, which has a French menu, Seven Seas, a seafood restaurant on Spruce Street, and the Abbey, open to the public on the grounds of the country club.
The Ramsey School District, which sent 97 percent of its graduates on to higher education last June, is one of the borough's major attractions. There are three elementary schools, the Smith Middle School and Ramsey High School, which receives students from the borough and from neighboring Saddle River.
THE school system is now undergoing a curriculum revision, based on the recommendations of a committee of 200 school staff members and volunteers. Dr. Carol R. Conger, the Schools Superintendent, said the district was stressing "more hands-on activities and a whole-language approach," in which reading is taught as part of instruction in other subjects, such as social studies.
The three elementary schools go from a kindergarten-readiness program, for 5-year-olds not yet mature enough for kindergarten, up to fifth grade.
The district has converted its junior high school, in which students would change classes every 50 minutes, to a middle school in which students stay with the same teachers all day long. The "social, academic and emotional development" of middle-school children, Dr. Conger said, "is up and down every day. They need close ties with a core group of adults.""
At the 750-student Ramsey High School the program ranges from vocational subjects like metal shop to college-credit courses. One of the latter is Project Advance, a freshman-level writing and English literature program taught by Ramsey High teachers, under Syracuse University guidance. The school is also a demonstration site for a prejudice-reduction course sponsored by the state's Board of Holocaust Studies
This year, for the first time, Ramsey voters defeated a school budget. The $17 million budget, a 4 percent increase over last year's, now goes to the Borough Council for revision. Ramsey is also expected to be a big loser under the New Jersey Quality Education Act, which shifts many costs of education from the state to the wealthier districts. Dr. Conger said she felt Ramsey's loss would be substantial and seriously affect the school system.
Margaret M. Marlett, president of the 60-member Ramsey Newcomers Club, which welcomes new residents, said she and her husband, Ralph, an electrical engineer at an electronics firm in neighboring Mahwah, moved from Maryland to a four-bedroom town house in the Peach Hill development six years ago.
"Ramsey is a great town," she said. "The downtown has everything, yet it's still small enough so that all of the storekeepers and bank tellers know my name and if I've changed my hairstyle. It just got to feel like home very quickly."
There are more than 50 volunteer and civic associations, many of which raise funds and recruit members at the annual Ramsey Day parade and street fair, held every September on Island Avenue.
The borough has three parks, the largest of which is the six-acre Finch Park off Church Street. The park has two tennis courts, five all-purpose ball fields and a wooden castle, built by volunteers as a children's playground.
There is an Olympic-sized pool on East Oak Street, open to residents for a $95 family membership. Ramsey also has two movie theaters and a bowling alley.

(Photographs by Eddie Hausner/The New York Times) Table: "Gazetteer" Population: 14,000 (1991 estimate). Median household income: $65,000 (1988 estimate). Median price of one-family house: $240,000. Property taxes on median-priced house:$4,700. Median price of two-bedroom condominium: $165,000. Median rent on two-bedroom apartment: $1,000. Government: Mayor (John L. Scerbo, Republican), elected to four-year term and 6 council members, elected to staggered three-year terms. Public school expenditure per pupil: $7,300. Distance from midtown Manhattan: 25 miles. Rush-hour commutation to midtown: 50 minutes by N.J. Transit train to Hoboken, $5.50, then PATH train $1; 45 minutes by Short Line bus to Port Authority Bus Terminal, $7.80 one way, $14.85 round trip, $46.65 10 trips. Old Stone House: Thirty-five years ago, Ramsay's oldest structure, a Dutch farmhouse built in the 1740's, was condemned by the state to make way for an overpass at the intersection of Route 17 and Island Road. The threat led to the formation of the Ramsey Historic Association and the salvation of the house, which had served as a tavern and inn during the Revolutionary War. Now known as the Old Stone House Museum and on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places, the building houses early 19th-century furniture and antique toys. It is open from 2 to 4 P.M. the last Sunday of every month. Admission is free. Map of Ramsey

Lucie was the 2015 Recipient of GSA annual Outstanding Graduate Teaching Award
I have been very much inspired by my professors who have different personalities and teaching styles but all share their passion for French teaching and caring for students. I learned a lot from them and try to develop my own teaching philosophy.
As a teaching assistant, I have taught classes and labs in French 1010, 1020, provided tutoring to students at all levels and organized cultural activities. I enjoy working with students everyday. After four semesters' hard work, I completed the Certificate of University Teaching Skills at the Reinert Center for Transformative Teaching & Learning with the help of my faculty mentor Dr. Cassandra Hamrick. Besides my training at SLU, I have also participated in French teaching workshops held by other organizations such as American Association of Teachers of French and the Centre Francophone.Teaching is tough but rewarding work, especially when my students make progress and share their enthusiasm for French culture and language learning. Having received this teaching award is a huge encouragement for me.
I am extremely grateful for the opportunities and resources provided by our department and faculty. After graduation, I will consider teaching as my career and promote foreign language learning. I hope that more and more people can realize that learning a foreign language is more than just a boost to the CV or handy for traveling. It will open our minds and make us embrace the whole world and its rich cultural diversity."

This book was so informative and my child was spellbound by her name being put together on every page! It was educational and fascinating to see what other kids in different parts of the world have as well as see. I will be ordering again!!
As always the quality of the book is exceptional! Review by JoDee M.
We're always impressed with anything from I See Me! It's a great educational book as well as personalized with your child's name to make it even more fun to read and learn about new places!Brady had so much fun reading this book and learning about the countries that spelled out his name! I'm sure the book will be a resource for him throughout school as well. If you're planning on traveling, or just want your child to learn more about different countries in the world this is a great book!
Great Quality! Review by Derek
This is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind gift that our daughter will be able to keep her entire life.
It is illustrated so well and has a wonderful message. My wife and I love it and we know our little one will too.
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Ellen Wilson
I ordered this for my grandson as a Christmas gift, so he hasn't seen it yet. His parents are adventurous travelers, so he's been in a number of countries in his six years. I love that the book references some of the places he's visited, and with his increasing ability to read, I'm sure this will be a favorite, especially given that his name is incorporated into the story. I can't wait for him to read it to me! Great book.

I purchased 3 books and love them! Good quality. My only criticism is the shopping costs are outrageous! Almost $70 to ship 3 books to canada.
Editor's Note: We are glad you are pleased with the books. We apologize for the cost for shipping to Canada. We are working on a solution to bring the cost down!
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Linda VanZee
I have ordered several I See Me books for my grandchildren, and I am always excited to receive them in the mail. I recently ordered two of the My Very Own World Adventure books and was very pleased to see the wonderful artistry and obvious workmanship that went into them. The only thing I was slightly disappointed in was a duplication in some of the letters when my grandson's names were spelled out. No-fault to the company obviously, Just not enough countries to represent some of the letters. Still love the books and will be a returning customer!!
Good quality Review by Joyce
The book is very good quality and the info on the different countries is interesting and educational. I think pictures of real children from their countries would be better than drawings, although the artwork otherwise is nice.
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Krista
I have been purchasing I SEE ME books for my Nephew for years. I absolutely LOVE this book. Of course seeing his name spelled out is a delight, but the artwork is magnificent--and the message of world peace is so important. The message of learning about other children around the world, the tolerance of other cultures is a gift that will last him a lifetime. We had one page repeated and I was pleased to see the text was changed to fit the flow of the book and not just repeat what it had the first time. Well done once more!
Great Illustrations and Messages Review by Nadia
This year I splurged and bought each of my nieces and nephews and son an "I See Me" book. I selected a different one for each and was so excited that they and their parents loved the books as much as I did. The little ones range in age from 1-6 and the books were simply perfect gifts as each one described how I feel about each little one in my family.
World Adventure Review by Papa
Great gift for Grandchildren...have them read it to you!
Highly Recommended! Review by Faisal
A truly amazing book that lets the child's imagination travel around the world, and through this journey the book will sneak in a lesson or two on geography, social studies and maybe art. The authors took the effort to find 63 artists from different countries, who contributed to the book with beautiful illustrations. And by being personalized by the child's name, it truly is a perfect gift!
World Adventure Review by Ellen Robinson
I See Me "My Very Own Name" is my go to newborn gift now for past 6 years. And then I always send the older siblings a toddler book. This year my grandson turned 6 and has outgrown the toddler books but he loved "World Adventure " he loved the pictures and seeing the photos of all the artists and finally his world map. The message of world peace also hit home. Great job. Keep the older child books coming
Great Book! Review by Katrina
Instilling in kids the importance of the earth and all the beauty in it is not always an easy task. I want my girls to learn about all the amazing places and cultures around the world and a fun and exciting way is with a personalized book from I See Me!
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Helene HIRSCHFELD
I was so happy to find a personalized book for the older child. This is a beautifully illustrated,educational and all encompassing book.It is perfect for children 5 and up, although I am adding it to the younger ones collections now because it is extraordinary.
Incredible! Review by Becky M.
I love how the kids dabble in geography and cultures in the story, with its incredible illustrations that include adorable kids from around the world in their traditional dress, in front of typical architecture or landforms. What I love about this book is that it is unlike anything I've seen before and would make a perfect gift for someone who is interested in teaching their kids about the world- and there would be no other book like it!
grandma Review by Trudi Fischetti
My granddaughter does like the book My very own world adventure. She will grow with it. You could use a few more choices for a 5 year old.
Thrilled! Review by Jolene P.
The book, My Very Own World Adventure, came in the mail today, and I am more than 100% satisfied! My grandson was born in the US, and now lives in Argentina, so naturally I wanted his book to include those 2 countries. COINCIDENTALLY, the very first country of his journey is Argentina (his name is Andrew), and the USA was also included. I had envisioned calling your company to request those specific countries, but there was no need to.
I am thrilled with all aspects of the book--content of the story, skillful and interesting inclusion of educational facts, colorful illustrations, the maps and information about each country that are at the back of the book, and the quality of the pages and binding.
I will definitely recommend your company to friends, and will be ordering again in the future!
My Very Own World Adventure Storybook Review by SV
Our 4 year old loves his adventure story and we love the gorgeous paintings. This is by far the best customized book we've seen and definitely the finest quality.
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Susan
I gave this to my 5 year old granddaughter. She loves how it spells her name, but it was hard to keep her attention in discussing the different children. First some are from cities and some are from countries and that is a hard concept for a small kid. Also without a real story line, she lost interest quickly. My least favorite of all the books I have gotten
My very own World Adventure Review by Elizabeth Slight
Terrific illustrations. My niece will love it, she is the most adventurous young lady!
Stunning Books Review by Elaine
Most beautifully illustrated and most wonderfully written children's books I've ever seen! Plus, the books are personalized, contained zero errors, and were nicely packaged! My granddaughters are going to love these and will cherish them forever. Thank you I See Me for such an excellent product. Would rate these books with 100 stars if I could.

My Very Own World Review by Margaret Braden
I was very pleased with the book and sent it to a granddaughter in AZ. I have not heard from her yet but believe she will like to see her name in print in the book. The mail service was great and I will probably be ordering again.
Great Book Review by Michelle
We ordered the "My Very Own World Adventure" and she loved it! It has been her show and tell for the past two weeks - a great honor indeed. You made Aunt Michelle a hero!
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Rosemary
I ordered World Adventure and My Very Own Pirate Tale for my granddaughter and grandson. I have been recommending these books to my friends for their grandchildren. They are well written, interesting and, best of all, educational. The quality is better than I expected and well worth the price. I am sure I will be ordering more titles in the future.
My Very Own World Adventure Review by W Brad
Just an amazing wonderful book.
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Grammie
This book is a birthday gift for my grandaughter and was shipped directly to her home. I think she will love the story.
My Very Own Name Review by Deborah Kraft
My grandchildren and myself have loved your books since our 1st grandchild was born & I purchased for her "My Very Own Name" book. She was only 3/4 months old, but she loved me to read this book that not only had her name spelled out for her, but each letter was quite large. Grandma said that was making it more easy for me to read the letters so that I could start learning my "ABC's". Grandma and I also loved all the brightly colored animals that had come to honor & welcome "me" into this world. Grandma and I have read this book so many times over the years and we have enjoyed it just as much now as when I was that "little" baby girl held in my "grandma's" arms. Grandma and I would recommend this book to every parent or grandparent to purchase his book, as a Christmas gift, birthday, Easter gift, etc. Enjoy that special time with your little one. Before you know it they will be going off to college, moving out to get married, or just moving out, Mom. Yes, Mom and Dad, your Babies have grown, so please take time and read all of the special "I SEE ME" books. Your children/grandchildren will thank you with hugs and kisses. If you can, sit them on your lap and let them rest against you. You will never forget these special times you spend together. My grandson is 7 and my granddaughter is 10 and they still sit on my lap when I read to them. What a blessing from God to be a Grandmother. :)
My Own World Adventure Review by Lori Patterson
Seeing the children in traditional costumes of the country and a gift with an explanation is a delightful way to share the world with a child! I bought this book for the granddaughter of a friend and I am overjoyed with the quality and personalization!
Love it! Review by Ezekiel's Mom
We love to travel and this is a great way for our son and nephew to learn about different cultures!
Excellent book, expensive to ship to Canada Review by Nicola
Gorgeous illustrations and the we love the rhythm of the story. It's a great way to introduce differences in cultures to them. Unfortunately, our daughters name has a lot of E's in it and as a result on a couple of occasions it had to use the 'duplicate text'. Perhaps if we could choose which countries to place in the book, we could have avoided this.
The other thing that I would mention is the high cost of shipping to Canada. I honestly love your books but may not order again because of the shipping costs. Perhaps you can find a way to reduce those a little.
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Barbara
This was absolutely a beautiful birthday gift for our 7 year old granddaughter. She was intrigued by each and every page. Pictures and story amazing.
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Durdica Sutton
The book is for my almost to be 8 yrs. old granddaughter who loves learning about other countries. I hope she will have a chance to travel to some of them.
Such a cool book Review by AJ
We loved the book we ordered for my husband's soon to be born godson, as did his mom & dad and tons of other friends. Thanks for such a cool idea!
GREAT BOOK! Review by Tonya
I was very happy with the "World Adventure" book. It was a neat idea to create a passport of the locations visited throughout the story. I also really liked the information for each location at the end of the book...truly a learning opportunity for the child as they grow!
Beautiful books and selection Review by Diane
I've ordered multiple titles from I See Me and have thought all are beautiful and fun for children. The parents and children all enjoyed receiving them.
3 different books Review by Shelly Shapiro
I have ordered 3 different books for 4 children. They all love them! It must be read everyday or the kids won't go to sleep. A perfect gift.
My Very Own Adventure Storybook Review by Pam
The book is beautiful! I can't wait to give it to my 4 year old grandson for Christmas. He came to us by way of an Ethiopian adoption and I was very excited to see Ethiopia included in the countries visited.
3 different books Review by Linda
World Adventure and Who Loves You. Plus The Fairy Tale for ages 6, 3 months and 2.
They're Christmas gifts, I can't wait to see, the joy they find under the Christmas tree.
All three books are fantastic and each child will love them. I look forward to ordering more.
great product!! Review by Jana
I purchased two books for my nephews and am very happy with the product. When I ordered the books i only had one choice for shipping,by Christmas. I received the books in about 10 days from order. The books look amazing. The pages are in order, the printing is correct, and the pages are nicely centered. I will definitely order more books in the future.
Great Keepsake Review by William
This book was wonderful, I ordered for my great-grandson and he was so excited to see his name being spelled out in the book.
Amazing Quality! Review by Heather F.
I have to say that My Very Own World Adventure ends just so amazingly and from first page to last the quality is there. To me, it feels that a lot of thought and time goes into each and every book that I See Me creates.
Great story! Review by Ezekiel's Mom
I love this book because it uses my son's name and goes through different countries, some of which we've been to, and gives him a glimpse of other cultures! And beautiful pictures!
My very own world adventure Review by Leslie Foley
The book was adorable. It will probably be used when the new baby is a little older. I also enjoyed the book myself.
Yet another great book! Review by Erin
I have ordered every single book I See Me has for my kids, my nieces and nephews, gifts, etc. I am truly amazed at the content and quality of I See Me products. Do not hesitate to order!
Great Books! Review by Morgan
My boys received these books for their 6th birthday & love them!! We read them every night. They love the different names & I love that they are learning about different countries. I wish their names were longer so we had more to read. :)
unique gifts Review by grandma of 5
now all my grandkids will have a different special book. every child wants to know they are one of a kind and the selection of these books makes that possible. beautiful pictures hold interest of non readers. I recommend this company to all my friends who want something truly unique to give as gifts.
Perfect! Review by Amy
This book was even better than I could have imagined. I have a child who has a thirst for the alphabet and learning. He is going to LOVE this book!
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Meagan
I LOVE this book. I would give it as a gift to any child, but it can be especially wonderful for an internationally adopted child. My 3 year-old, who is from Ethiopia, loved it on first reading and is beyond excited to explore all the wonderful country information in the back as well. I am very excited to have found this book.
Great gift Review by Shana
Extremely well made, high quality book. Makes for a wonderful personalized gift for a boy or girl.
Great, As Always Review by Tracey
I always get I See Me! books for my niece and nephew, for birthdays and Chanukah, and I got this one for my nephew's 5th birthday. I had some issues initially (my own mistakes, not theirs), but customer service was extremely helpful in resolving them. And, of course, the book was a big hit with my nephew--my niece and nephew always love these books!
World traveler Review by Natalie
I love the book I ordered for my niece who is beginning her world adventure at 3 months old. My only complaint is that I wish the personalized noted could be printed in the book or on a nice card instead of the packing receipt.
Otherwise the book is perfect!
World Adventure Review by Alison Gardner
Combining my own love of world travel with the recent births of two young grandsons, I was eager to introduce them to a world I hope they will one day physically explore with delight ... maybe even with me! I am delighted with the personalized text, the message, and the concept at a time in history where we all need make an extra effort to reach across borders to one another in peace and understanding.
Great Cultural Heritage Learning Tool Review by Alicia T.
I chose this book from the vast choices available on the I See Me website because they recommended it based on my daughter's age. She is 12. She commented on artistic quality of the book and said she really liked the detail of the images. While the writing style is easy enough for a young reader to grasp, the book's details encourage further exploration, so the book is still appropriate for my daughter's age as well.
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Greta Schmidt
LOVE this book! The artwork in the book is beautiful and customer service let me specify the exact characters that I had in mind. I can't wait to give it to my 5 year old on her birthday.
Great Publishers and great service! Review by Meenakshi
I have ALWAYS loved I SEE ME's titles and my daughter pretty much owns every single title of theirs minus the "boy books".
I subscribe to their feeds on email and various social media and came to know about this book today. I think this is a wonderful book and LOVED the concept and the execution of the idea. I think this is a PERFECT book to introduce the concept of unity in diversity and world cultures to young readers.
Their customer service is EXCELLENT and I will forever be a loyal customer of I See Me!
Truly amazing! Review by Jenny F.
Got the book yesterday. My daughter loved it so much she slept with it last night and tried to sneak it in her backpack for school. It's beautiful and truly a treasure with a wonderful message attached to it. I cannot imagine how long it took you guys to source all the fantastic artwork.
My Very Own World Adventure Storybook Review by Diana
My daughter loves this book. The concept of traveling around the world and learning about different cultures is fabulous! She loves reading it over and over and discovering something new each time!
Share the world with a child Review by Debbie Travis
"My Very Own World Adventure" is probably my favorite book I've purchased from I SEE ME. I travel often, and would love to share my experiences with my grandson, but this book is a good substitute until he's old enough to go with me. It shows the diversity of the people in our world, yet stresses the similarities. If we can get that across to our children and grandchildren, maybe the next generation will grow up to be more tolerant.
The illustrations were lovely, and I liked how many different, diverse illustrators were used in the production of this book. My only regret is that my grandson doesn't have a "U" in his name, as Uganda is my favorite place to visit. I'm glad the back of the book shows all the countries used in the story. (Curious though, why you didn't use Oman, Qatar, and Yemen rather than cities or provinces? "X" makes sense- I can't think of a country starting with "X", but wondering about the others.)
No matter - this book would be an excellent choice for any child.
I See Me Editor's Note: Thank you for your positive feedback, Debbie! We are happy to hear you love the book. Finding illustrators from around the world was a grueling task that took roughly five years to complete! We did use Oman, but you are right about not using the other countries. Again, thank you for your feedback and enjoy your travels when you read My Very Own World Adventure!
Father and Grand Father Review by Alex L. Montgomery, Sr.
I am a long standing loyal supporter of childrens books. I have in the past had printed books for my daughter and son to read when they were pre-schoolers and primary schoolers. I now have grand children of ages.
I would like to see books containing the following... Child's Name, Brother or Sister's Name, Friend's Name, Parent's Name along with City and State.
If you can do this, I would greatly appreciate this.
My Very Own World Adventure Review by Kathy Khera
I ordered this book for my granddaughter. I read through the entire book and loved it! There is also included a map of the world and flags from all the countries. The illustrations are beautiful. My granddaughter will cherish this forever.
Three titles Review by brenda
Not only am I impressed with the three different books i ordered from I SEE ME, I am extremely pleased with their customer service. Two of the books were damaged in shipping when they arrived. I called the company, and two new books were immediately printed and shipped out to me. It surprised me how quickly they were replaced!
The books themselves are beautifully illustrated, and I know they will be great gifts.
World Adventure - Personalized Book Review by Cindy Conley
I purchased your personalized books for each of my grandchildren. I've been extremely pleased with each of them, until the fifth. I was very excited that you came out with a new book, My Very Own World Adventure. I was disappointed that it contained almost all girls for my GRANDSON! There were only two boys in the entire book! I called about the problem. The person I spoke with was very helpful and worked with me to reprint the book illustrated with 50% boys, which was acceptable. Unfortunately, I had to pay additional shipping for the new book. I wouldn't have minded so much if the problem was my fault, but one of the questions was BOY or GIRL! Finished product was great, but quite expensive!
Truly Their Very Own Adventure Storybook Review by Joanie B
I am delighted with this book. I ordered one for each of my three grandchildren , using first, middle and last names. The pictures and stories are lovely and each child will have something unique to keep and to show to another generation of children one day. One child will receive this for her First Holy Communion, one for her graduation to middle school and one for his fifth birthday. I cannot wait to see the happy faces when they see these beautiful books. I am one happy Grandma!
3 Title books Review by kathlle
I ordered three different books for each of my nieces. They loved them especially when they saw their name spelled out in the books. It got them VERY interested in reading. I ALWAYS have loved I see Me titles.
I always try to give gifts that are personal.
They always sent the orders on time
own World Adventure Review by Karen Jones
As an African-American grandmother, mom, aunt, and friend to many, I find your books very conscious of diversity! This is very important that the kids love who they are and respect each other. You do a fantastic job of sending this message to the consumer. The books are not inexpensive, but worth every penny. I have bought about 10 to 15 of the various titles. Keep up the good work!
My Very Own World Adventure Storybook Review by Pilar Ahijado del Fresno -AIXADO-
Congratulations for your fantastic book !!! I've had the great luck for to do one of the illustrations for this book, and made this work with all my love, and I'm very happy for that.
My country is Spain.
I liked very very much how is was edited , the colors , all !! Only I feel sorry because I could not to have one book with all the illustrations, I would have liked a lot, mostly because I have several friends from all countries that make wonderful book.
Good luck and I hope you can sell a lot of them. If again you need my collaboration,you can count with me for another new work, I will be happy to do it .
I've saw you do also faeries's books, I love the fairies, and I've some works about this topic if you are interested.
Again, Congratulations for this wonderful book !! And thanks !!

Citroen driver Robert Kubica has admitted he would "give all his money" to return to Formula 1 racing.
Kubica has been out of grand prix racing since his rally crash in February of 2011.
The Pole announced details of his first full season of rallying in Warsaw yesterday, revealing a four-round European Rally Championship effort, but he says his focus remains on getting back to F1.
He revealed he turned down the chance to race in the DTM because he knew rallying would provide a bigger physical challenge to him.
Kubica reckons he is ready to race in Formula 1 at circuits like Barcelona, but feels he would not be able to compete at more twisty tracks.
"I would pay all the money I have to be back in the cockpit of a Formula 1 car," said Kubica. "At the moment [racing at] Barcelona would be possible, Monaco would not be possible.
"I would prefer to still be an F1 driver, but if I really saw myself one and a half years ago, and somebody told me I would be announcing a big programme with [ERC sponsor] Lotos, Citroen and Michelin in the European Rally Championship and in the WRC, I would not have believed it.
"I still hope to come back to where I was. I think everybody would like to see me there.
"It's a bit strange, even some people from rallying would prefer I stay in rallying, but I'm coming from Formula 1 and suddenly what was all my life stopped in one second.
"Now I know, I knew it always, but now I appreciate more that there's nothing better in life than doing what you want to do."
Kubica tested a Mercedes DTM car earlier this year before committing to the ERC and WRC2 with Citroen.
If Citroen's planned WTCC programme for 2014 is signed off, it is expected Kubica will play a part in the testing programme, but for now he says that's all he's interested in from the series.
"DTM was a good opportunity for me," he said. "But somehow my way of looking [at] what I want this year... I think is the best for me led me to decide for rallying. I would definitely have an easier life [in the DTM] and better chances of good results, but for me results are not the numbers.
"For me what I am looking for this year is to improve my physical state, improve me as a driver and I hope I will learn a lot of new things thanks to the rallying. Maybe this will be the key for the future."

Have we been here before?

Last Modified: Sunday, January 6, 2008 at 12:08 a.m.
It seems like LSU can never catch a break when it gets an opportunity to play for the national championship.
LSU and Ohio State will be facing off Monday night in the BCS championship game in New Orlaeans.
Simple enough right?
Both teams met the necessary criteria to have the opportunity to play for the national championship. They won their respective conferences and posted impressive records.
By using the BCSs formula, two teams were deemed worthy to play for the national championship --- No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 LSU.
Once again, simple enough right?
Some national sports writers have second thoughts about the Buckeyes and Tigers playing for the national championship. They are coming to the conclusion that neither team is worthy to play for the title.
So, which teams do these members of the media want to play for all the marbles? Try USC and Georgia.
USC and Georgia started the argument with impressive wins in their New Years Day BCS bowl games.
USC rolled to a 49-17 win over Illinois in the Rose Bowl.
Georgia followed with a 41-10 thrashing of formerly undefeated Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl.
Those were impressive wins for a pair of teams that have as many losses as LSU.
So, why should the Tigers play for the national title and the Trojans and Bulldogs be forced to sit home and watch?
USC and Georgia beat inferior foes in their respective bowl games.
Illinois had no business being in a BCS bowl game, but the Rose Bowl loves tradition and we were forced to watch a lame bowl game.
Hawaii may have been undefeated, but the team played no one during the regular season. The Bulldogs quickly exploited the Warriors weaknesses and the game turned into a rout.
Another knock against USC was one of the biggest upsets of the 2007 season. The Trojans laid one of the biggest eggs of the season at home when they lost 24-23 to Stanford, a 41-point underdog. That is right, Stanford was a 41-point underdog.
For the Bulldogs, another knock against them was that they were not the best team in the SEC. In fact, Georgia was not even the best team in the SEC Eastern Division.
LSU won the SEC title, and that is one of the reasons why are playing for the national title instead of the Bulldogs.
Oklahoma and Virginia Tech had better arguments to be picked ahead of LSU than USC and Georgia, but now we know why they were not picked. The Sooners and Hokies lost their respective bowl games despite being the favorites.
Other teams had arguments, but none of them are stronger than LSUs and Ohio States.
West Virginia suffered an embarrassing loss to Pittsburgh.
Kansas and Missouri couldnt win their own conference.
That leaves only two teams Ohio State and LSU.
The Buckeyes deserve to be playing for the championship by winning the Big Ten Conference and finishing with one of the best records (11-1) of any team from a BCS conference.
The Tigers won the toughest conference in college football, and their only losses came in triple overtime. As LSU coach Les Miles said, the Tigers are the best team in regulation.
If the Tigers win their second BCS national championship since 2003 Monday night, hopefully they will be a unanimous selection as national champions.
Lets hope we dont have a repeat of the 2003 season when LSU and USC shared the title.
