1 The fall of man
Now Rev. 12:9the serpent was 2 Cor. 11:3more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, [a]Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 2 Cor. 11:3And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was [b]pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, 1 Tim. 2:14and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, ch. 2:25and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves [c]aprons.
8 And they heard Job 38:1the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the [d]cool of the day: and Adam and his wife Job 31:33;Jer. 23:24hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, ch. 2:25;1 John 3:20and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, Prov. 28:13The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, ver. 4;2 Cor. 11:3;1 Tim. 2:14The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and Is. 65:25dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between John 8:44;Acts 13:10;1 John 3:8thy seed and Is. 7:14;Luke 1:31,34,35her seed; Rom. 16:20;Rev. 12:7it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; Is. 13:8;John 16:21in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; ch. 4:7and thy desire shall be [e]to thy husband, and he shall 1 Cor. 11:3;Eph. 5:22rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, 1 Sam. 15:23Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, ch. 2:17of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: Rom. 8:20cursed is the ground for thy sake; Eccl. 2:23in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it [f]bring forth to thee; and Ps. 104:14thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 2 Thes. 3:10In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: ch. 2:7for dust thou art, and Job 21:26;Eccl. 3:20unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife's name [g]Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, ch. 4:2;& 9:20to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed ch. 2:8at the east of the garden of Eden Ps. 104:4;Heb. 1:7Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

How are Seniors Choosing and Changing Health Insurance Plans?
This report summarizes first-hand accounts of seniors' Medicare private plan decision making strategies, based on focus groups conducted in four cities. Seniors found the initial plan selection process overwhelming due to the volume of information they received and their inability to organize it. Few used the government's online comparison tool, and those that did cite several shortcomings. Many relied on advice from sources they trust, including insurance agents, plan representatives, friends, family members, doctor's offices and pharmacists. After they enroll in a plan, many seniors did not revisit their initial decision or review plan options without the strong provocation of a substantial increase in cost, change in coverage, or shift in personal health care needs. Moreover, they feared that a change in plans may disrupt their care, or lead to an unforeseen increase in out-of-pocket costs, and require them to learn new rules and requirements. They are doubtful they would end up in a plan that is appreciatively different or better for them. Overall, seniors preferred to have numerous choices in plans but would like personalized help and advice from experts to ease the process.Report Read More

Sturdy and well made, this is a great little cover. The soft interior ensures the cover itself won't inflict any scratches to your Kindle. A really nice touch is that the pocket for the optional E-Luminator light is on the inside edge of the cover, along the spine... and there's enough room that when not in use, the light folds down alongside the Kindle. Thus, the light is protected when the cover is closed, and you don't have to find a place to store it. Nice!
For Christmas my husband upgraded my Kindle 2 to a Kindle Keyboard. I had an M-Edge cover and e-luminator light for my old Kindle so knew I wanted the same for my new one since I loved the cover/light combination. Initially I tried to find a leather option since my old leather one had held up so well. I reluctantly ordered this one since leather wasn't available anymore. I had wanted purple (same as previous color) which was sold out, so I ordered the red one along with a new e-luminator light. When they arrived I was very happy with the quality of the materials. Although not real leather, the outer shell really feels like a quality soft leather and the interior is a soft microfiber that feels like suede. The "red" color is brighter than it appears online and more of a true red shade (not too bright though). In comparison to the previous version, the redesign has many improvements. The interior color is a darker charcoal grey which will help hide any marks. The squared off spine makes folding it back much easier. I also really like that your kindle is supported by all 4 corners in this version. The bottom 2 straps are stationary. The top two are stretchy to allow you to easily put your kindle in and take it out of the case. The Kindle Keyboard fits perfectly and doesn't move at all, even when shaken vigorously. The cover closes securely with the tab and offers great protection for both the kindle and the light. I can throw this in my bag and travel worry free! The customer service offered by M-Edge is pretty fabulous. When I got my initial purchase I noticed a couple very small "air bubbles" in the interior where whatever adhesion product used had malfunctioned. I assumed this would be a small cosmetic defect and since I didn't want to deal with a return procedure didn't concern myself with it. After using the cover for a little over a month I noticed one of the "bubbles", which happened to be right where I placed my hand when holding the cover, had gotten bigger. I contacted customer service via email, including a photo showing the problem and was immediately advised this was a defective product and offered a refund or replacement. Knowing that the interior of my older version was the same and had never had these issues even after cleaning it a few times, I was more than happy to go with a replacement cover. The best part is they are sending the replacement in my original color choice (purple). The procedure was completely hassle free and they were very quick to respond!! So my replacement is now on the way. If there are any problems with the new one I will let update my review to let you all know. However, I'm very confident that this issue was a true defect and not the norm given my past experience. I would highly recommend this cover to anyone looking for a quality cover and will continue to purchse M-Edge products knowing that they stand behind their products. Also, as a side note, it turns out the lighter physical weight of the material used vs the heavier leather version was a pleasant surprise. So once I received my cover, I was very happy with the feel and weight of this "non leather" version. With the kindle, light and cover...the weight feels about the same as a paperback. Personally I find the very slim lightweight kindle difficult to hold for long periods due to arthritis in my hands. This cover adds just enough thickness to make my grip more natural and as others have said, the tab when folded back can rest on the top of your hand when it's placed between the two covers. It makes the e-reader feel more like a book. I really can't say enough good things about this cover!! Roni
Love that I can hold folded cover by either right or left side with no discomfort to hands. Have 3 Executive covers - one purple, one fushia - to distinguish between two Kindle 3 Keyboards. Especially love my first Executive for Kindle 1 in red crinkle shiny leather, and wish that type was still available. Tried Go Jacket; too light - not enough room on sides to hold comfortably. Love the corners and pockets.
Perfectly awesome cover for the Kindle! You can twist over the front cover and hold it very nicely like you're reading a real book. Absolutely worth every penny! So soft and offers great protection for your Kindle! Planning on surcharging the light for it soon! :)
This has been the only cover that I have bought, and I love it. I have had mine for a little over a year now, and it is still in good condition. I read alot. I have over 400 book on my Kindle, and I have read them all, several more than once. I like that I can fold back the cover and the strap will hold it in place. This also creates a convenient way to hold the kindle also, I put my index finger inbetween the covers, under the strap. One thing I wish they had on this, would be a little pocket for an extra battery. The way the light fits in here, there is enough room to make a little pocket for an extra battery right next to it. I highly recomment this cover!
I just recieved a Kindle for my birthday and I love it! I wanted a jacket that was simple,thin, and that would hold a light and I found both here! I love this jacket it is just what I wanted! Also LOVE the tough light on this website too! GREAT PRICES!
I purchased this for my Kindle Keyboard...Amazon no longer sells the cover I previously used...and I love it. It was a tight fit at the bottom, but thankfully the top fittings were elasticized so the Kindle fits the cover. Overall I love it.
This is the second executive jacket I have purchased so obviously I appreciate its quality. It's best features for me ( besides the awesome color selections) are the way it folds for easy handling and the storage of the light in the spine.
I personally own a few different cases from m-edge for my kindle 3, and I gotta say that this style is my favorite! It is very well made, looks great & I like the fact that the light tucks safely away on the inside of the cover. That option is a must for me, I'm a nurse, and I have my kindle in my backpack with me whenever I work. Wouldn't want anything to get damaged. The cover can easily fold back on itself, which is great for one-handed reading. Liked this cover so much, got one for my MIL. She loves it too!
The YouTube video gives the important details. I had a Kindle Keyboard with a Kindle Jacket that I gave to a relative. I much prefer this jacket with my current Kindle Keyboard. It is more comfortable to hold while open, and the nylon channel and strap keep it securely closed and securely open--much more conveniently than did the Kindle elastic band. If the jacket is in the open position--without folding the left side backward, the channel strap provides a nice holding point. The same applies if the jacket is folded backward and the strap is then placed in the channel to hold the jacket open. I purchased this because it was non-leather, but it looks and feels like high quality leather. Fortunately, it does not smell like leather. I also purchased the Eluminator Touch light. It and the Executive jacket are a perfect fit and preferable to the Kindle jacket with the pull-out light because not only is the Eluminator Touch more adjustable, it operates from a separate battery supply. The two interior pockets are a nice touch. The smaller readily can hold a few business cards or a coffee-shop credit card. The larger can hold a small notepad. If you choose not to use the space allotted for the light, that space can accommodate a pen or pencil, although there is no strap to hold it in place. A homemade Velcro hook and loop attachment would do the trick. I am very pleased with this purchase, and I recommend it without qualification.
I've had my Executive Jacket about six months now and I can't say enough about how much I love it. I also purchased the e-Luminator Touch Booklight and am so glad that I did. I especially love the look and feel of the jacket, and that it was available in my favourite colour. I am so happy with my purchase and the wonderful service I received from M-Edge. I am shopping now for one for my husband's e-reader and our iPad. I am sure we will be just as pleased with these new products.
We ordered 2 Kindle 3 EXECUTIVE covers and are 100% thrilled. They are very well constructed and fit and function perfectly. We have only had them for a few weeks, but use them daily and they are showing no wear or problems. A great value and excellent product.
Purchased my second Sony Reader - the PRST1, 2 weeks ago but didn't like the Sony cases. I also own a PRS600 and purchased an M-Edge Jacket for it 2 years ago and really pleased with its durability, protection it provides including the additional pockets. When I visited M-Edge I was disappointed that they didn't provide a Jacket for Sony PRS T1. So I contacted customer service and within two hours received a response from a representative who informed me that the Jackets for the Kindle 3s and Kobo 1st Generation is compatible so I ordered the blue Executive Jacket – it fits perfectly about .75 inch all around bigger than the one for my PRS600 which I don't mind because the PRS T1 is a much thinner model and if not protected can be easily be damaged –from experience the cost of repair is costly for these devices. M-Edge also sent me a 20% discount coupon with the case so I just ordered the e-Luminator Touch book after reading the great reviews – I have lights but they are bulky and not compatible – e-Luminator can also be used with the PRS600 Jacket. This will be my third purchase from M-Edge – I really like the craftsmanship of their products
I've had my Executive Jacket about a month now and I love it! along with the e-Luminator Touch Booklight, it's perfect. I love the look and feel of my blue Jacket, well made and just the right size and weight. Very happy with my purchase!
I bought this cover in purple for my Mom last Christmas---and in green for my sister for her birthday. Now that M-Edge is having this fantastic (and generous!) sale, I bought two more (in green)...one for me and one for my Mother In Law. The case great. Well made, and the colors are pretty--especially the green. Just wish they were real leather...maybe next time, right?
I purchased an executive cover for my First Generation Kindle and love it. After years of use, I noticed the gray interior was getting dirty where I folded back the cover to read. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I scrubbed it with a soapy sponge and Voila' it's as good as new! I have since purchased one for my daughter as well as the clear one for the beach. M-Edge makes a great product.
My monitor must be way off because I bought the fuchsia and it is much brighter than I thought it would be. It's like a neon, super-bright-glow-in-the-dark pink. And although I knew it when I bought it, I don't like the plastic cover. It feels like pleather and has an icky, strong plastic odor to it. Otherwise, this is a fantastic cover! I like the size, and the space to hold the light... love that it's all contained, so I don't have to keep the light stored separately. I love the strap and how it keeps the cover securely closed-- or open. A great cover overall. The only way they could improve on this product is to offer a real leather version, and maybe some other color options.
Nice, comfortable style, holds my Kindle just right.
Holds the Kindle snugly, sturdy yet nice looking. Love the purple color.
My friend had one for her Nook. Since I had a problem with my tablet slipping out of my hands, I thought I would give this a try. It is perfect for my "Filemate/Clear" tablet. Exactly what I needed for protection from hard knocks!
Great cover to protect my Kindle. Love that the e-Luminator Touch Booklight is stored in the cover and doesn't hang over the edge.
Can't be beat for the price and overall quality. If you are looking for a sturdy, sleek case that will keep your Kindle in one piece in case of an accidental fall, this is it!
Love the Executive case for my Kindle. It's good looking, easy to fold back and very compact.
Everything I wanted in a cover for my Kindle 3G at a great value.
The case arrived quickly and is a perfect fit for my Kindle Keyboard. It seems to be made of good materials & constructed very well (no defects - not even ultra minor/cosmetic ones). I also own an M-Edge case for my Kindle 2 that I've used for years & still do. Its "leather" exterior is somewhat softer & it is also more flexible, however that's just what I've become accustomed to. The firmness of this case probably means it will be even more durable compared to its predecessor in the long run. I'm very pleased with the purchase & the price I paid.
This is EXACTLY what I wanted and was hoping for. I love the sturdy case, it provides reassurance that my Kendle will be well protected. Also totally enjoy the red color -- most ladies purses are lined in black or a very dark material, which makes it so difficult to find anything. The red color is so easy to find and grab.
I was please with the service I received at M Edge. The online site would not work correctly so I ordered by phone and the person who helped me was courteous and quick. I received just what I ordered in time to give it for a gift.
I did not like the selection of cases for the Fire. I hunted around and found this one. I have had this case for over a year and half. It is still like new and is used every day. I love the leather exterior and the suede interior. It is a very sturdy case. The fire would fit better if the two bottom holders were the same as the top holders but I have had no problem with it falling out.
None Better
I was pleased with the product and customer service.
Good quality material; a bit bulky to travel
Looks nice and fits great !
I had to contact customer service re this case as I couldn't get it in the colour i wanted and almost didn't buy it - A lovely staff member helped me get the colour i wanted and had it shipped quickly. I love this cover - it is practical and classy and not too bulky
Purchased my Kindle Executive Case for a Kindle Fire tablet.Iit was designed for the Kindle 3. It just loooks so much more professional.
Love this case. Great fit and color. Arrived quickly.
I wasn't sure that I needed the Executive case and I did go back and forth between it and the more simple cases but in the end there was the lovely colour (I love green!) and the fact that it came with the free e-luminator that made my mind up. I couldn't be happier with it. The quality is fantastic and I also love the way to light stores away in the spine. I would highly recommend this case to anyone and will be buying it (in red) for my mother!
Purchased the jacket on line. Arrived within three days. Excellent quality and I love the 4-point harness system. Had some questions and concerns during the on-line process. On-line chat with customer service was timely and all of my concerns were answered on the spot and in a courteous manner. Kudos on a great product and the great service.
I love this cover. It's pretty (I got the green) and seems sturdy. It folds back flat to hold it. I bought it as part of a special offer with the light thrown in. This cover stores the light so that it's always there when I need it.
I have several m-edge kindle cases, and love this the best. The best features are the fact that the e-laminator light fits inside the case and the closure tab. As I carry my kindle with me everywhere I go, the light does not accidentally turn on and the case is secure.
I recently purchased this cover in red for my Kindle keyboard and was very impressed at how quickly it shipped to me. I am in Australia so you can understand my surprise when, after ordering my cover late Friday night, it turned up on the following Tuesday morning!
I just bought a new Kindle after my old one broke and I wanted a case similar to the one I already had. This is the newer version of my old case and I love it. I bought it in red and the color is very vivid which is what I wanted.
I ordered both the Kindle Jacket and e-luminator light. They are of excellent quality and fit perfectly.
I have the Navy blue jacket for my kindle and I just purchased a brown one for my husband's kindle. This is a well built, functional, and nice looking cover that protects your kindle (even in your purse). Love this jacket!.
I couldn't find anything I liked locally so I checked the M-edge website and ordered the Executive Jacket. I bought the navy blue and am very happy with my purchase. It looks great, comfortable to use, and keeps my Kindle safe in my tote. I read a lot and hope the cover holds up to all use it will get. Great customer service too!
I bought this in the purple color and love it. It protects my Kindle very securely, folds back and fastens behind the Kindle while reading, and the light I ordered to use with it fits in the jacket very well. I am happy with this product and the light. I will be watching to see how well it lasts since it is made of plastic.
This is the perfect jacket for my Kindle! I love the way the light fits and folds perfectly into the spine of the cover. Besides being very functional, it's great looking too.
I decided to change styles ofjacket for my Kindle and decided that I really liked how this one closed and that if you have a light it fits right in next to the Kindle. It definitly makes it much easier to hold the Kindle. An with the top corner straps having elastic it is so easy to plane the Kindle or to take it out.
Great cover. It is sturdy, no off gases to worry about screen fogging as with some cheaper covers and it is very classy. The way the cover folds back and can be secured with the strap is quite convenient. It is reasonably priced and really fast free delivery. Biggest problem is choosing the color! M-Edge will be a place I look for products in the future.
My husband purchased this case for me and I love it....wanted the purple but at Christmas most of the colors were sold out; however, settled for pink and it's bright and cheery. The case is practical and necessary for anyone who owns a kindle....gives complete protection in case it gets dropped....I love how it folds back and stays in place while I read. I highly recommend.
I really like this jacket for my Kindle. I had a 2nd generation Kindle and had a Halsea cover for that one. When I upgraded my Kindle, the Halsea was not available. So sad! I really like the little pockets on the inside cover, that was a critical feature when I started shopping for a cover. This cover meet all my wants and needs. It has the pockets, it is very sturdy and comes in such a wide range of colors and the light stores in the spine. It also has that recessed strip that I was able to add some decoration to, a little personal touch. I am extremely happy with my purchase.
I got a Kindle keyboard for Christmas and immediately began looking for a cover. Reviews for this M-Edge Executive Jacket plus the excellent price and free shipping won me over. I have Amazon gift cards but the M-Edge price was so much better. For those that say they prefer holding a book to an e-device I say " get the jacket". It is just the right size for comfort, very securely holds the Kindle in place and the tab holds the jacket securely closed and open. It is everything as described.
I love this jacket. It's sturdy, attractive, and pleasant to hold. Even better, it has the sleeve for the E-luminator book light on the left-hand, spine side of the reader, and it lets the light fold down without being in the way when you're reading without it, and when you close the jacket, the light remains protected in the spine. I've also found that the left-hand page turn buttons remain accessible even when the light is folded down because of the way that the light is positioned against the spine. This is an extremely well-designed jacket. I highly recommend getting an M-Edge jacket for your e-reader, and if you're getting an E-luminator light to go with it, purchasing a jacket that lets the light fold away into the spine. (I reviewed the Go! jacket and pointed out a few of the short-comings of having the light on the right side instead of the left.) M-Edge produces really high quality products. I don't think you can go wrong buying one. Their shipping was great, too!
It fits great, as this really awesome edge next to the spine, for the light I guess, that is a great place to hold the book. The pockets are useful for that random paper or even a really slim pad of paper. You can use the tab to lock the book open and it works great. You can touch all the buttons. Really cannot think of anything wrong with it.
I am very happy with my executive jacket. The color is beautiful and I like that my touch booklight fits conveniently inside the jacket. It does get a little heavy to hold for those long reads but overall I am happy with my purchase.
I received my cover just three days ago. It's almost perfect. I love it. I got mine in red. I love the color. It's not the tacky kind red. The cover is very well made (not like the one I bought from ebay!). I love that there are pockets. I think it will be great when I travel as well (maybe I can fit my boarding pass and passport?). It's fashionable and classical. I am so tempted to try other M-edge covers. On the other hand, I don't like how the strap sometimes gets stuck when I am securing it. I feel resistance, especially when I am trying to strap the front cover to the back cover while reading. Is it just me who feels this way? Also, when I opened my cover for the first time, I saw lines (from air bubbles) in the front micro-suede interior. Is it just me or am I just too picky? Another thing that really gets to me... The shipping took two weeks. I was so sad as I really needed a cover. I live in Hawaii and that's the price I pay for living not on the mainland. Plus, M-edge doesn't offer free shipping to Hawaii. Regardless, M-edge was kind enough to return my shipping as it took longer than usual. Overall, it deserves a 5 star.
I received a Kindle as a Mother's Day gift and I wanted a jacket that was not bulky. This one is perfect. It's slim enough to slide into my purse or briefcase. The eLuminator light fits right into the binding.
I am an English teacher who received a new Kindle right before Mother's Day and then was told I could pick any cover I wanted. I had heard massive amounts of excellent feedback about M-Edge products and service. I had no price limit, and I choose the Purple Executive Jacket. After using it now for almost a month, and I love it beyond belief. It is a perfect fit for me and my style. I would say I feel like I am always reading a "real" book, but they never actually felt this good. Every feature is what it claims and more. Several teachers friends have now gone and bought this model. Top Ratings!
I've bought two of these jackets, one for my husband and one for my sister - and they're excellent Kindle jackets! It's nice and secure when you close it with the strap, the quality and feel of the jacket is wonderful, and of course - it holds the e-Luminator book light, which you simply shouldn't go without! M-Edge is a stop above the rest, with their awesome cases/covers/jackets, the e-Luminator light is amazing, and the customer service is hands-down!
I don't own a Kindle but I do have the app for my Tab. I read many books with this app. I was in need of a cover for my Tab and could find none. I came across this product at Staples and tried it with my Tab right there in the store. The fit was almost perfect! With the exception of the bottom two holders, it keeps my Tab snug. I even dropped it and the case provided more than ample protection. What an awesome find! I have the 7in model and if you design this product with the same holders for the top, for the bottom, you've added another product model to your jacket design. Just fyi... ;) Again great product!
Excellent products! Very fast delivery to Canada.. Have recommeded M-Edge to friends and family..
What a wonderful cover for the Kindle. I purchased the Red Executive model and just love it. I just purchased a blue one so I can change it from time to time. It is particularly easy to hold while you are reading and the light fits into the cover so conveniently. The covers also protects my Kindle. Thanks for a great product!
I live in Australia and am very impressed with the speed of delivery.........ordered Wednesday last week arrived Wednesday this week..........plus I love the cover and am sure I will like the Light when I get a battery.
Excellent cover (purple) and fantastic service, delivered to the UK in two days.Much nicer than the Amazon cover. PLEASE, PLEASE consider doing this cover in leather (in black). Thank you
This is a gorgeous well made cover. I was surprised at the quality and the book light is a fantastic accessory. This cover really enhances my ereading experience and delivery to Australia was really quick, less than a week, including having FedEX re-deliver it as I was out the first time. I highly recommend both the cover and the service.
Love the cover and light. I especially like that the light is there all the time so if I need it I have it. The only disappointment, I wanted to buy the cover and light for my friend, but she has a Generation 2 and the light does not store in the spine on that model so I didn't get it for her.
Works great with the addition of the e-Luminator light. This light won't drain your kindle battery is the reason why I bought this version. The book cover has multiple positions and protects your kindle if you drop it. Would buy again. All the colors look great. Being that it is not real leather buts feels like is a plus because real leather takes a lot more care and stains.
I love my cover! I got the purple cover with the light and it fits great. Plus shipping was amazing! It was here in 2 days! Couldn't be happier.
This is a great cover and I LOVE the e-Luminator light! The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is that it's not leather like my prior Prodigy cover. I use it all the time when I travel (just got back from Vienna!) and it protects my Kindle, is compact, I have the light when I need it, can stick my boarding pass in the pocket so I have available...the perfect traveling companion!
Very fast delivery to Australia!!! Love the jacket & the light. Very happy with the purchase and the service :)
bought my kindle cover in early november and it has been great
The executive jacket is a perfect fit for my new Kindle. It is sleek, feels wonderful in my hands, and is attractive sitting on my bedside table waiting to be read. Thank you also for your efficient and prompt response at Customer Service when I needed your help!
I've been a fan of M-Edge from the beginning and update my jackets with every round of a new version Kindle (or iPad) update. I love the look and feel of this product and is a perfect compliment in both quality and protection for the latest Kindle line.
Great Kindle cover. I also bought the light that fits in the cover and I love both products
While I didn't order my case through this website, I still wanted to comment on the company's product. (I've since ordered other items from them, and I love those, as well.) As other reviewers have noted, the case nicely stores the booklight, and everything is very secure. I have another Kindle case (also from m-edge), but it actually zips all the way around, so that's the one I take with me on trips. The "Executive" case, however, is my around-the-house Kindle case. I love the purple color! While the case is capable of being opened all the way and then secured (meaning that the left part of the cover folds behind the right side), I don't like doing that since I feel like it causes the fastening tab to wear thin. Instead, I simply open it like a book. I also like that it has little pockets inside for a piece of paper or two. (I use mine to keep lists of books to download.)

UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State's secondary is fresh from a four-touchdown, 413-yard torching at the hands of Southern Cal - and that was with four multi-year starters in the Nittany Lions' defensive backfield.
The 2009 rebuilt unit will be anchored by a pair of players, safety Drew Astorino and cornerback A.J. Wallace, who have made a combined three career starts, once Wallace fully emerges from Joe Paterno's doghouse for academic lapses.
It would therefore lend itself to reason that the Lions' front seven, rich with experience and depth, could make life easier for the secondary by, say, leading the nation in sacks.
Joe Paterno seconded that in front of 200-plus Media Day witnesses Thursday.
"The more pressure we can put up front, the more sophisticated we can be in coverage," he said, ticking off the options of linebackers dropping off and defensive backs matching up in zones and bracketing go-to receivers (did someone say Arrelious Benn?)
On the other hand, JoePa said, "you hate to be too cute."
Penn State has traditionally embraced a bend-but-don't-break, keep-them-in-front-of-you philosophy that has generally served it well. As the secondary coach then, Tom Bradley was on the sidelines in Tempe, Ariz., in 1987 when the Lions repeatedly confused Miami's Vinny Testaverde and clinched No. 1 with five interceptions, often by dropping eight into coverage.
"We gave up 500 yards [actually 445] that night," Bradley said Thursday, "and won [14-10]."
When the greatest win in your history came by not blitzing, it's sometimes tough to change. Bradley, like all coaches, debated the Lions' failures in the offseason. Last year, there were two - the second half at Iowa, when the defense blew a two-score lead and with it a chance to play for No. 1, and the total collapse against the Trojans.
"You have to pick your poison," he said. "Sometimes three-man rushes work because the quarterback is running timing routes and doesn't see the linebackers. It depends on the game and the game plan."
Which, he said, is too early to determine. Having only practiced in pads once before Thursday, Bradley said the staff really hasn't had much chance to evaluate the DBs.
The cynic would suggest that's all the more reason to send Navorro Bowman on every second- or third-and-long, but Bradley said it's not that simple.
"We did go after them [with blitzes] last year," he said. "We just didn't get there. When they max protect, there's no sense in going because you're not going to get home."
Still, returning linebacker Sean Lee senses, "I think we're going to blitz and come off the edge," he said.
Wallace is confident the line and linebackers will do everything possible to acclimate a secondary that also will benefit from the three-game home exhibition season of Akron, Syracuse and Temple.
"I think we have the best D-line in the country, and the rush will definitely speed up the quarterback and force him into some ill-advised throws," Wallace said.
That will be especially true prior to the Big Ten season.
Once Iowa arrives, though, whether the linebackers more often fall back into coverage or attack - and thus not allow receivers enough time to get open against a unit that you know will be backpedaling into a frustrating cushion - will decide if the '09 defensive theme is passive or aggressive.
Here's hoping the choice is B.

Induction Dynamics goes big (and small)
Induction Dynamics matched their beautiful S1.8T loudspeaker with a host of McIntosh gear (MT10 turntable, MX150 control center, and MC207 power amplifier), all strung together with Kimber Kable.
The S1.8T is shown here in high-gloss rosewood, but any custom finish, wood veneer, or high-gloss paint can be supplied. And, surprisingly, the big speaker is also available in on-wall and in-wall configurations.
The system did big dynamic stuff with no hint of strain and was similarly graceful with smaller singer-songwriter material.

Liverpool FC and Everton FC did plenty of business on the last day of the transfer window.
Re-read our live updates from throughout the day and into the evening which resulted in a dramatic finish right up to the deadline.
Liverpool managed to complete their signings of of Tiago Ilori , Mamadou Sakho and Victor Moses early on in the day before Everton frantically closed the night by selling Marouane Fellaini to Manchester United and bringing in James McCarthy from Wigan.
They also added Manchester City's Gareth Barry and Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku on loan while Victor Anichebe signed for West Brom on a permanent deal.
Late bit of business for Liverpool, as revealed by Neil Jones...
I'm told #LFC signed on a young centre back, Rafa Paez (19), who has been on trial at the club this summer. Will go into U21s.— Neil Jones (@neiljonesecho) September 2, 2013
It's all wrapped up at Everton. Here's Greg O'Keeffe with the final ins-and-outs.
#EFC have signed James McCarthy (£13m), Barry (loan), Lukaku (loan), and sold Anichebe (to WBA) AND Fellaini to #MUFC for fee of around £27m— Greg O'Keeffe (@GregOK) September 2, 2013
Meanwhile, and something which will be celebrated by Blues everywhere when dust has settled, Leighton Baines is still an Everton player #EFC— Greg O'Keeffe (@GregOK) September 2, 2013
Signed @Everton on a season loan :-)— R.Lukaku Bolingoli (@RomeluLukaku9) September 2, 2013
Neil Jones on the latest Everton transfer news...
Things are moving at Everton. Nothing is confirmed yet, but in the last few minutes Gareth Barry has arrived at Finch Farm, ahead of a season-long loan move from Manchester City.
Everton had been negotiating long and hard with City to find a compromise over the England midfielder's wages, and appear to have found one.
Elsewhere, expect developments regarding Marouane Fellaini's move to Manchester United. The Belgian has informed Everton of his wish to leave the club, and the Blues have moved for Wigan's James McCarthy as a replacement. The club are yet to confirm, but it looks like a deal worth around £13m will be reached, though time is of the essence now.
Everton are also closing in on the signing of Romelu Lukaku on loan from Chelsea, but Victor Anichebe is on the verge of joining West Bromwich Albion on a permanent deal
Seems like Everton FC have got there in the last few minutes. Fellaini appears to have signed for Manchester United while Everton have met Wigan's valuation for McCarthy and joining him at Goodison Park are Lukaku and Gareth Barry on loan.
Hat-trick of deals for the Blues.
#EFC suddenly reaching breakthrough on McCarthy and out-muscling WBA for Lukaku while tying up Barry loan = Fellaini deal done!— Greg O'Keeffe (@GregOK) September 2, 2013
Success, it seems for Everton, according to the Mirror. Lukaku has had a change of heart and is now very definitely swaying towards Goodison again, thanks to the intervention of his agent, who also happens to represent Kevin Mirallas.
"It's too late for a medical, but no matter: he doesn't need one because it's a loan deal - one that will cost the Blues £3million.
"It doesn't end there though. Gareth Barry has also moved closer to a switch from Man City, and he convened hasty talks at the Finch Farm training ground to try and force through a move - again on loan - before the window slams shut.
"Everton will rush through the paperwork on Lukaku (probably before he changes his mind again and turns back towards West Brom) and Barry, before turning their attentions to sealing the deal for James McCarthy.
"The Marouane Fellaini deal rumbles on. It is very close, but United are concerned over the terms. They may have to swallow them though, because the Belgian international now remains their last hope of a signing before the window closes. The deal for Ander Herrera is on the point of collapse over a fiendishly complicated payment structure that could leave the English club open to an extra £15m payment in VAT and taxes."
One of the transfer window's biggest deals has finally gone through: Mesut Ozil to Arsenal from Real Madrid for a whopping £42.7m - Manchester United as yet have still signed no-one. Things are getting desperate.
BREAKING TRANSFER NEWS: Daft Punk have just arrived at Carrington #MUFC— Sacha Lord (@Sachawhp) September 2, 2013
Big news. Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry is at Finch Farm.
That indicates that the Fellaini deal may still go through.
Gareth Barry at Finch Farm #EFC— Greg O'Keeffe (@GregOK) September 2, 2013
West Brom confirm the signing of Stephane Sessegnon from Sunderland. The 29-year-old has penned a three-year deal at the Hawthorns.
Where does this leave Everton striker Victor Anichebe?
Still no clarity on Fellaini's situation, though it has been suggested that the deal with Manchester United has fallen through.
Albion break their transfer record to sign Sunderland attacking midfielder Stephane Sessegnon #DeadlineDay pic.twitter.com/rn7U3sToVC— WBAFCofficial (@WBAFCofficial) September 2, 2013
Is there a late twist in the Lukaku story?
It seems the on-off striker's move to Goodison Park maybe back ON!
Rumours suggest he has turned down a move to West Brom and will now sign for Everton on a season-long loan deal.
Told Romelu Lukaku is heading to Everton now to sign on season-long loan despite late West Brom attempt to get him. Story to come....— Wayne Veysey (@wayneveysey) September 2, 2013
Former Liverpool left-back Andrea Dossena is on the move joining Sunderland.
Sunderland adding another former LFC Italian, Andrea Dossena.— Neil Jones (@neiljonesecho) September 2, 2013
Reports are gathering pace in France thatJuan Mata has agreed to join Paris St Germain, but the move remains in the balance because Chelsea have not yet accepted the French club's offer.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has declared himself happy with his summer transfer dealings, which include the signings of Tiago Ilori , Mamadou Sakho and Victor Moses this morning.
Manager Brendan Rodgers has left the club's training ground earlier, and has been at the ECHO's Bill Shankly memorial dinner this evening.
Liverpool FC's transfer deadline day business looks to be completed after attempts to sign Shay Given from Aston Villa appeared to have fallen through.
He said: "The window this summer has been very productive. We did a lot of work early and haven't tried to leave it all to this mad day which sees the whole of football go berserk.
"We've tried to be controlled and get the players in as early as we possibly could.
"We've certainly got more competition."
Echo sports writer, Neil Jones offers his opinion on the situation at Everton as the clock ticks down...
"Still nothing confirmed at Everton, as the minutes tick away.
I don't think you need a degree in transferdeadlinedayology to know that the bulk of the business at Goodison is dependent on what happens with Marouane Fellaini.
The Belgian has handed in a transfer request, and wants to join Manchester United, but no deal has been agreed yet.
Likewise, a deal to bring James McCarthy to Goodison from Wigan is still to be agreed.
Everton say they are working hard behind the scenes, with Gareth Barry and Romelu Lukaku both potential loan targets, and Victor Anichebe wanted by West Brom, but it is going down to the wire, leaving fans biting their nails anxiously."
That optimism we spoke of earlier from Everton fans seems to be fading.
And fading fast. Still no update on any players coming in or leaving, however, any deal for Lukaku is looking slim at this point.
Here's what one fan's group had to say.
Everton have got 75 minutes to prevent a riot here. Never seen twitter so snarling and angry as this— EFC People's Group (@ThePeoplesGroup) September 2, 2013
Victor Anichebe has reportedly arrived at West Brom's training ground ahead of a potential move to the Baggies.
What with Fellaini handing in a transfer request, there is a chance Everton will lose two players without replacing them.
What does new boss Roberto Martinez have up his sleeve?
Chelsea suggest Romelu Lukaku's loan move to Everton now may well happen, but insist Demba Ba is staying at Stamford Bridge, according to the Mirror.
However, Sky are reporting he is heading to West Brom's training ground.
More anxiety for Blues fans.

More news to follow regarding Fellaini, Anichebe and Lukaku.
Dave Whelan unhappy with #EFC negotiating over McCarthy. Claims their 4-year instalment proposal was madness— Greg O'Keeffe (@GregOK) September 2, 2013
Update from sports writer Neil Jones:
Less than two hours to go until the deadline, and the sight of Big Ben on Sky Sports News, and I'm told that Liverpool are done for the evening.
The Reds had hoped to wrap up a deal to sign Shay Given from Aston Villa, but that move appears to have fallen through.
Manager Brendan Rodgers has left the club's training ground earlier, and has been at the ECHO's Bill Shankly memorial dinner this evening. The Reds boss has declared himself happy with his summer transfer dealings, which include the signings of Tiago Ilori, Mamadou Sakho and Victor Moses this morning.
"The window this summer has been very productive. We did a lot of work early and haven't tried to leave it all to this mad day which sees the whole of football go berserk. We've tried to be controlled and get the players in as early as we possibly could.
"We've certainly got more competition. As a manager you always want more, but we're more than happy with the business we've done. We've added freshness to the group.
"What we were looking to bring in was hunger. We've done great business over the course of the summer, and I'm sure we'll look to strengthen again in January and finish off the second part of the season like we did last season."

GRAND RAPIDS — The parking lot was packed Friday morning as shoppers checked out the first Anthropologie store to open in the West Michigan market at Breton Village.
Three of the Philadelphia-based company's 145 stores across the North American and Europe are located in Michigan.
"I'v never been in one," said Katy Bengel, who credits her coworkers for piquing her interest in the chain of boutique-like stores.
Merchandise at the new store, 1960 Breton Road, includes a faux-vintage collection of women's apparel, shoes, handbags, home furnishings, gifts and decorative items.
"I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm seeing they even have dishes," said the Grand Rapids resident, as she passed the store's dramatic window display featuring dining table elegantly stacked with dishes.
Melissa Uslan fell in love Anthropologie after visiting its stores in Chicago.
"They have a lot of interesting things you can't find at mall stores," said Uslan, of Grand Rapids.
Her friend Christine Jurus picked up a shirt for $60.
"They're a little expensive but it's a splurge," Jurus said.
Fortunately, Anthropologie has a clearance room where Emily Rolf picked up six funky metal knobs for $20 for a dresser she is refurnishing as a TV console.
"I love to go into the store," said Rolf, of Kentwood. "It's total window shopping."
The store fills just about half of a new 22,000 square foot building that is part of Breton Village in Grand Rapids.
Landing the trendy retailer has been helped draw more tenants to the mall, said Scott Wierda, who co-owns the 180,000 square foot shopping center at 1830 Breton Rd.. Other tenants include Jos. A. Banks, D&W Food Center and Talbots.
"As soon as they heard who it was, we signed several tenants," said Wierda, who is also the managing partner of CWD Real Estate Investment.
Those new tenants include two more women's clothing stores and a new restaurant that will be moving in the spring. Wierda says he'll be announcing the names of those businesses at a later date.
"Anthropologie has forever changed Breton Village," he added.
The chain is owned by Urban Outfitters Inc., which also owns retail brands Urban Outfitters, Free People, Terrain and Leifsdottir.
The store manager referred questions to the company's corporate office, which was not available for comment.
Store hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

This century belongs to Asia in terms of future growth and geopolitical influences in the world. As per Asian Development Bank report the capacity for economic supremacy is in place, but the Asian nations must address weaknesses in education investment, women's rights and technology, managing climate change effects on trade and economics, wage inequality, poor governance and corruption.This means there are huge challenges for businesses to establish world class practices; societies to change attitude and embrace non-indigenous cultural influences; governments and leaders to find new ways of leading the nations.
This conference offers both academics and practitioners the opportunity to share knowledge in several disciplines relevant to Asian countries. The focus is on ASEAN countries and the overarching question is how we together facilitate the developments in these emerging economies.
The conference theme is "Managing the Asian Century". The conference organizers welcome contributions that draw upon contemporary developments in practices of management, education system, organizational development, studies in tropics, financial and economic planning, and others areas significant to socio cultural economic and environmental development.
It is anticipated that the conference will attract a mixture of industry, government, and academic delegates. Presentations will focus on addressing the interests and needs of this diverse audience. Practical applications guided by good theory, success stories, 'learning experiences', and integrative approaches will be delivered in plenary sessions and specialized themes. A panel session addressing topical themes, and tutorial/workshop sessions in emerging areas will also be available to delegates.
Young Researcher Workshop. A workshop is available to young researchers who want extra help in organizing research, paper writing, publication outlet selection, book proposal writing and networking with journal editors.
An impressive group of academics and experts confirmed keynote and plenary presentations.

'I Bought Jackie's Jewels!'
The Lure of Camelot Was Too Strong to Resist. Here's What the Buyers of Some of the Gems from the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Auction Have to Say About Their High-Priced Souvenirs
Lynnette and Scott Rindner, Danville, Calif.: Two pairs of faux-diamond-and-stone ear clips, $12,650. For eight years, the couple had been saving for the honeymoon they never had. Then Lynnette learned of the auction and...well, forget Paris. "I loved Jackie and knew I couldn't stop until I had exhausted all efforts to obtain anything she had owned," says the 38-year-old home-maker and mother of three. But when attempts to submit their bids by phone failed, she and Scott, 40, a chief financial officer for a health-care management company, decided to fly to New York City to attend in person. Lynnette has no second thoughts about the trade-off, sporting the jewels at Little League games and on trips to the supermarket. "It's like part of Jackie's spirit came with these earrings," she says.
Carolee Friedlander, Greenwich, Conn.: 60-inch, faux-pearl necklace and pavé earrings, $83,081. She had done this before. The president and CEO of Carolee Designs, a costume jewelry company, made news with her 1987 Duchess of Windsor line inspired by the Sotheby's auction that year. Doing the same with the Onassis jewels, though, gave her pause. "Our initial reaction was, 'No, Jackie's too much of an American icon. She was more sacred. It won't be right,' " recalls Carolee, 53. But the overwhelming interest in the auction changed her mind. This fall she will launch a line of faux-pearl replicas of 17 auction pieces, including those that she purchased. After the gavel fell, though, Carolee still wasn't exactly Miss Cool. "When I went to pick them up, they said, 'Well, how would you like to pay for this?' I was like, 'Oh, yeah. I have to pay for all of this.' They'll only charge $25,000 on your credit card unless you've arranged it in advance. I felt like a numskull." She eventually produced a check.
Harry Wilks, Hamilton, Ohio: Heart-shaped, 18-karat gold ear clips, $37,375. Actually, he had his mind set on something more masculine. The 71-year-old arts patron and retired lawyer went to Sotheby's hoping to buy one of John Kennedy's rocking chairs. "I thought it was symbolic of the Presidency," he says. But he was outbid when the piece went for $442,500. Then, as prices continued skyward, Wilks admits that he panicked. "I thought I better get something fast," he says. "To tell you the truth, I felt lucky to pay $37,000 for a pair of earrings! Now isn't that crazy?" Wilks will let his daughters Nanci, 43, and Barbara, 45, as well as his companion of 12 years, Carol Einsfeld, 53, wear the ear clips, but he does not intend to make a gift of them. They're destined for the sculpture park and museum that Wilks, a collector of Greek, Roman, Etruscan and Egyptian antiquities, is creating on his 250-acre estate. "If you give them to one person, they lose their historical significance," he says. "I didn't go there to buy jewelry. I went there to buy history."
Marciana Rodriguez, New York City: Two pairs of hoop ear clips and a Lanvin metal bracelet, $7,475. She didn't even have to shell out a dime. Rodriguez, a retired teacher from Puerto Rico, won the jewelry in a New York Daily News sweepstakes, but that doesn't mean she's happy with her Jackie-wear. "They are so big," she says of the clips. "I am too short to wear these. I cannot wear these to church." And the diamonds are fake. "I was surprised a rich woman was buying costume jewelry," says Rodriguez. "I was a little disappointed." Her solution: Sell! Rodriguez is on the lookout for a reputable dealer to help her. She'll then take her windfall on the road. "I want to go to Spain and Portugal," she says.
Lynda Rae Resnick, Beverly Hills: faux-pearl necklace, $211,500. Of course it was all for business. When the Franklin Mint bought the pearls, vice chairwoman Resnick thought only of displaying them in the museum and selling replicas for $195 a pop. But even she was seduced by Jackie's allure. "When I opened the box, I got chills," says Resnick, 51. "I had tears in my eyes. I could actually smell her perfume." And when she wore them, "I felt glorious," she says. Her daughter llene won't get that chance. Neither she nor her four brothers will inherit the pearls, which are company property. "My kids are going to be happy with the replica," Resnick says.

text: Port Elizabeth: South African fast bowler Vernon Philander has been ruled out of the second Test against New Zealand starting here on Friday due to recurrence of a hamstring injury. He will be replaced by Rory Kleinveldt, who made his Test debut in Australia recently but was dropped for the third match after two lackluster performances with the ball.Philander was outstanding in the first Test at Cape Town, taking seven wickets to claim the Man-of-the-Match award. He took five wickets in New Zealandâs first innings of 45 in 19.2 overs, but was forced off the field after that startling five-over burst on the first morning due to pain in his left hamstring. In the second innings, Philander bowled 24 overs. The persistent injury had ruled the 27-year-old out of a first-class match two weeks ago but he made the XI for the Cape Town Test after a weekâs recuperation. South Africa will be looking to wrap up the series in Port Elizabeth.

Logan Ryan lined up against Brandon Coleman every day in practice for three years at Rutgers.
Those matchups convinced Ryan, who recently finished his rookie season with the Patriots, that Coleman is an NFL-caliber receiver. Coleman will be hoping to hear his name called on Friday night during the second or third round of the NFL Draft.
"I think he can play on Sundays, without a doubt," Ryan said. "Everyone knows his size and his physical ability, but people don't understand how much work that kid puts in. Any time anyone asks me the spiel on Brandon Coleman, I say it's his work ethic. So he's going to be fine."
The 6-foot-6, 225-pound Coleman is an obvious physical talent. But he has helped his draft stock during visits with NFL teams in the past few months.
A three-time conference all-academic selection, Coleman is a prospect without any red flags about his character.
"The thing I loved about him is his work ethic," said Devin McCourty, a Patriots safety who played at Rutgers from 2006-09. "I remember one summer, I went back there and we were just doing 1-on-1s and 7-on-7s with those guys and he was going each time. If one of the NFL guys got up there, he would go just to get the work. I'm happy for him, getting a chance to live out his dream."
Coleman, who left Rutgers with one year of eligibility remaining, has been all over draft boards. His stock has ranged from the second to the fifth round, which will lead to some uncertainty tonight.
There's an abundance of quality receivers available after five were selected in Thursday's first round. Some mock drafts projected as many as nine first-round receivers.
In the latest ESPN.com mock draft, Coleman was projected as a mid-third round pick at No. 79 by the Baltimore Ravens. He also has been linked to the Eagles, who need a wide receiver and visited Coleman in New Jersey last month.
Coleman ignored the draft forecasting and just tried to enjoy the process.
"There were a lot of concerns going into it," Coleman said recently. "Some people were saying I should come back for another year. Some people were questioning my knee. People were questioning different kinds of things, but so far it's been smooth and I'm thankful for that."
Coleman's former Rutgers' teammates now in the NFL are convinced he'll succeed at the next level.
"All the attributes that he brings – his size, his speed, his athleticism," former teammate and current Buccaneers tight end Tim Wright said. "Everything is going to work out for him. He's got a great shot."

When that doesn't work, a doctor's visit secures a prescription to be filled at the local pharmacy.

Analysis: Economists skeptical on IMF's rosy assessment of Iran
Aug 10, 2011, 3:53 a.m.
By Robin Pomeroy
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's government is basking in rare IMF praise as the first major oil exporter to axe energy and food subsidies, but gains for the sanctions-hit economy could be jeopardized by costly cash handouts and the risk of runaway inflation.
With bread, electricity and gasoline prices soaring after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's flagship economic policy slashed $60 billion of price supports, many experts say the IMF painted too rosy a picture of a country that will be among the hardest hit if oil prices plunge further as the global economy slows.
"Few people could dispute the need to reform Iran's domestic energy prices," the IMF said in its report, calling the $0.10 per liter subsidized gasoline price, at a time when global prices were around $2, "out of touch with reality, unsustainable and unjustifiable by any economic theory."
For years, Iranian politicians agreed that the subsidies -- a legacy of a statist revolutionary policy to spread the benefits of Iran's vast oil wealth -- were wasteful and perverse but it took the populist, West-baiting Ahmadinejad, already well into his second four-year term, to do something about it.
"On December 18, 2010, Iran increased domestic energy and agricultural prices by up to 20 times, making it the first major oil-exporting country to reduce substantially implicit energy subsidies," the International Monetary Fund said in its July report "Iran - The Chronicles of the Subsidy Reform."
Despite a sudden seven-fold rise in the cost of gasoline and bread prices doubling, the riots predicted by some analysts never occurred. Middle-class Iranians may grumble, but monthly payments of 455,000 rials (around $43) to every man, woman and child in Iran who applied, have softened the blow, particularly for lower-income families with many children.
"The successful implementation of the drastic price increases has created a unique opportunity for Iran to reform its economy and accelerate economic growth and development," the report said.
But many economists say the subsidy reform risks causing devastating inflation and that the government may not be able to keep up the level of cash payments needed to maintain people's spending power, especially if there is a drop in the oil price.
The IMF did not avoid the issue, saying in a separate report on the Iranian economy, inflation posed a "considerable" risk.
"... rampant inflation would result in a rapid erosion of domestic energy prices and of the targeted subsidies in real terms, and reduced incentives for enterprises to restructure, effectively reversing the early gains of the subsidy reform," it said in its "Staff Report" on the Iranian economy published this month.
Iran's inflation rose to 15.4 percent in the month to June 21, Central Bank Governor Mahmoud Bahmani said on July 27, showing a steady rise from a 25-year low of 8.8 percent in August 2010.
Iranians who have seen fuel bills and the cost of food soar after subsidies were slashed are skeptical.
"The statistics no longer serve any purpose because no one believes them," Iranian economist Saeed Laylaz wrote in the reformist Roozegar newspaper on July 25.

And the buttons are such a sweet detail. I'd spend $20-25 on a pair for a gift, although perhaps not for myself. Not because they aren't worth that much, but just because it's harder to buy something like that for yourself, you know?

fun fun fun. I haven't knitted in far too long. But I do think I'm going to start painting again this fall. I go down to part-time (WOHM) in October and am hoping for more time to create. It's so good for the soul.

If I just decided to wear mismatched wrist warmers that would seem silly, but if you MADE them that way, it'd be like "that's the way they were made, don't they look great?" I would probably pay $20 for a pair, but I think a lot of people, including us, don't have much $$ right now. Most of our extra money is going to pay our midwife, who will be catching Surprise Baby this spring.

I am friends with our minister's daughter, and showed her the Advent Conspiracy video. She showed it to her dad and now there are a few interested people at our church.

As for homemade gifts I enjoy making things for my family. In the past I have made blankets for my niece and nephew. I accompanied them with a book for each child.

The study of the life history of uterine fibromata, with their multiplicity of combinations, has been patient, persevering and full of vexations. At first, considered perfectly benign, we have come to recognize the probability of their producing great harm and even of taking on malignant degeneration.
Their complications are becoming constantly more numerous. Sorel1 has found they have a close relation to glycosuria. He demonstrated this relation in some marked cases of glycosuria, extending over a period of years, complicated by uterine fibroids, and in which a quick and decisive cure of the pathologic discharge of sugar followed hysterectomy.
What etiological relation, if any, exists between arteriosclerosis and uterine fibroids is still a matter of conjecture. La Force2 considers it a potent cause of fibroids of this organ, and many believe a condition of arteriosclerosis is usually present in most cases of these growths. It would seem but

Software bypassing is a technique that allows programmer-controlled direct transfer of results of computations to the operands of data dependent operations, possibly removing the need to store some values in general purpose registers, while reducing the number of reads from the register file. Software bypassing also improves instruction level parallelism by reducing the number of false dependencies between operations caused by the reuse of registers. In this work we show how software bypassing affects cycle count and reduces register file reads and writes. We analyze previous register file bypassing methods and compare them with our improved software bypassing implementation. In addition, we propose heuristics when not to apply software bypassing to retain scheduling freedom when selecting function units for operations. The results show that we get at best 27% improvement to cycle count, as well as up to 48% less register reads and 45% less register writes with the use of bypassing.

Hemorrhoidal deployments encircling your sphincter that resemble deployed airbags from a motor vehicle.
He'd certainly have lost the remote up his ass had it not been for the airbags!

A poorly made joint, insofaras it's way too loose. Typically achieved by people inexperienced at rolling, or experienced rollers that are too fucked up.
Hey, wheres that joint gone?
Airbag dude, im re-rollin it for ya.
just use a pokie, that took me ages.
yeah cos you're wasted, i wont be long.

Skin the Pig
Article XIX
(Article Nineteen)
US: 25 Mar 2011
UK: Import
The cross-pollination of metal's various sub-genres has resulted in a raft of vibrant, innovative and enthralling albums these past few years. And while incorporating diverse influences and varying one's sound is to be applauded, there are always albums on which such ambitious endeavors are not matched by a sense of cohesion. Unfortunately, such is the case with Article XIX, the debut full-length from six-piece progressive metal outfit Skin the Pig.
Originally formed in 2000, Skin the Pig deserves a great deal of credit for its tenacity, determination and enthusiasm. And the band's blend of prog, sludge, death and various "core" metal accoutrements is certainly dynamic and adventurous. The opening track, "Stendhal Syndrome", reveals a lot of jazzed-up post-metal promise, and the follow-up bombastic gallop of "I Rise, You Fall" thrums with a great deal of expediency. But one aspect that grates is that passages of technically sublime metal, like those found on "Yet Nameless" and "No Man's Land", are undermined by other tracks beset by characterless riffs and prosaic angry/wistful dual vocals. It makes for a frustrating listen, especially as there are so many moments in which the band's obvious talents shine.
