This is a hard book to categorize. Is it a dual biography? A history of a region? An environmental paean to a place? A literary memoir of the West? A road book to both grand and despoiled places?
It's all of the above and more. Gessner began the book as a tribute to two western writers who have inspired him: Edward Abbey and Wallace Stegner. Gessner went to grad school in Colorado and fell in love with the southwest. Abbey and Stegner became his heroes and teachers, although not literally—he learned through their writing.
He compares the more revolutionary-seeming Abbey who broke laws (trashed earth-moving machines to stop development and threatened to blow up dams) with the more straight-laced Stegner.
Miwanzo is the Swahili word for "beginnings." In this fascinating fictional biography, this word could stand for so many things: Beryl Clutterbuck's family arriving in Africa from England when she was a child of four; the young girl establishing a close emotional bond with the local native families, known as Kipsigis; the first time she trained a thoroughbred on her own; and the first time she piloted a plane.
What an exciting life Beryl led. Beryl was one of those women who pushed against the boundaries of convention to fully partake in life.
She became the first female licensed racehorse trainer in Africa and the horses under her care won many races. She became an early bush pilot in Africa and the first woman aviator to fly across the Atlantic from east to west.
Irish writer Paul Lynch begins his second novel with a vivid barn burning scene--one of the most powerful novel openers I've read in a long time. It starts out calm, some farmhands working quietly in a field, the farm owner's wife, Eskra, baking, until the scent of smoke and a dark cloud rising suggest that something is very wrong.
The farmer, Barnabas Kane, races to the barn with a loyal worker, and Barnabas presses inside and nudges Matthew Peoples inside also. They try to rescue the fifty seven cattle that are banging their stalls in a frenzy of fear. A friend rescues the farmer, but the other man never gets out, nor do most of the cattle.
The book shows the aftermath of that fire. For months, the house stinks of smoke: the towels, the sheets, even the wallpaper. In one scene, Barnabas rips down curtains, slashes the wallpaper, even tears his clothes off after recognizing their smoky smell. Eskra comes home and believes he has lost his mind.
Just announced: the Library of Congress appointed Juan Filipe Herrera as our latest national poet laureate. The child of migrant farm workers, Herrera is the first Latino poet laureate. As a child, he traveled up and down the state of California with his parents, and later attended UCLA with the help of a grant for disadvantaged youth.
At the age of 21, Herrera was inspired by the debut book by Puerto Rican poet, Victor Hernandez Cruz.
He also writes children's books and those for young adults. Check out our list of his titles.
If you've read any of Kazuo Ishiguro's novels, you know that not only can he write beautiful prose but that he also weaves interesting, compelling stories.
For an author who has written about widely divergent themes: life among the British gentry and serving classes (The Remains of the Day) and a group of schoolchildren being farmed for body parts (Never Let Me Go), his latest takes a leap into entirely new directions.
Call it an on the road/historical/Arthurian/ attempt-to-find-and-slay-a-giant-novel. This giant, who lives in Britain after the Anglo Saxon wars, spumes up dense clouds that cause people to lose their memories.
Beatrice and Axl, two very old Britons, find themselves denied candles in their village, forced to spend their nights in the cold dark, and are treated shabbily in other ways. They decide to leave and attempt a long arduous journey to see their only child, a son, who has not returned to the village for many years. Beatrice suffers from an unnamed illness that makes her very frail but she's determined to see their son again.
Because of the endless polluted mists, neither she nor Axl can remember why their son left, or why he has not returned. Axl vaguely recalls an argument just before they parted, so the old couple want to make amends.
In one village where they spend the night, the residents mob a young boy who has a weird bite on his skin. They are so angry that Axl fears for the boy's life, and rushes to his rescue, but the mob attacks him instead. After leaving this village they find this boy again accompanied by a Saxon. Long ago, Axl fought against the Saxons, and the country is just starting to heal from the vicious wars.
Axl and Beatrice agree to travel with them, because the Saxon promises to help the couple reach their destination. They feel sorry for the boy too, but they are also leery of his bite.
While trying to cross a bridge, guards with swords detain them. When the Saxon sees them coming, he concocts a plan to play the fool. He also advises the couple to say that the boy has come with them. So the Saxon lolls his head, wags his tongue while the guards draw swords and prepare to spear him. But his disguise succeeds at least until the guard realizes later that the boy might be the boy bitten by the dragon, and chases them again.
The party also meets elderly Sir Gawain, one of the knights or Arthur's Round Table. The king has commanded him to slay the buried giant. At one point, the Saxon accuses him of not really trying to kill the beast. Why else would it still be alive?
The couple decide to visit a monastery even though it is out of the way and high on a mountain because they heard a monk there offers excellent counseling. But alas, the monastery was not what they thought. Around its windows and parapets, huge ravens swarm eager for bites of flesh. There is also a large tower that looks burnt, and has a suspicious platform on which it looks like battles have been fought, and enemies thrown off. Later the Saxon discovers a weird torture device in an out-building. And yes, those hungry ravens continue to batter the hatches.
Ishiguro weaves history, Arthurian legend, and medieval fear of those different from us into a wonderful parable, but at heart, this is a story of a long marriage, how two people survive both the rough and calm seas of life, trying to bridge their differences, and caring for each other despite mistakes, arguments, hard feelings and the chaos of a world gone mad around them.
For an entirely different take on England long ago, try Geraldine Brooks' Year of Wonders: a novel of the plague.
This double biography of two famous first cousins, both belonging to the famous Roosevelt clan, brings the early 20th century to life in both Washington DC and New York and gives us a fascinating peak into two strong women's lives, both of whom married or were born into politics.
Eleanor Roosevelt and her first cousin Alice were born just eight months apart. Alice came from the Republican Oyster Bay branch of the family and Eleanor from the Democratic Hyde Park (NYC) branch. Not only did they differ in political and social outlooks, but they even pronounced their last name differently. Alice's family said Rose—evelt. And Eleanor's pronounced the same name as Ruse-evelt.
I almost became a falconer once. The ad promised you hands-on training for catching raptors, and you would be working with ones needing care, so it seemed like the perfect volunteer gig. However, our time in California was drawing to a close, so I never got to experience the drama and force of a raptor landing on my gloved hand. But, wow, did I love this book.
This memoir artfully intertwines three stories: Helen's experience training her first goshawk, her grieving for her father, and author T. H. White's mixed results raising falcons and hawks. All these stories are told powerfully, and the subject is so interesting that I found the book riveting.
Training the small fierce goshawk Mable (the author chose the name as something opposite of what you'd expect) for a few hours every day away took Helen from her disabling grief over her father's sudden death on the street taking pictures for his job. At one point, Macdonald describes his last photograph--at street level, a line of blurs and a patch of sky as her father fell and died from a heart attack.
This quiet introspective read is not for everyone. In it, British novelist Rachel Cusk, examines relationships and self-identity in a series of ten conversations that make up the book. The action occurs in the span of one week while a narrator travels to Greece for a week long writing seminar that she is teaching.
Caveat: this is one of the most unusual novels I have ever read. The author's voice is sure, steady, and at times mesmerizing. It's not an action novel in any sense, but rich with everyday life in a way that recalls Virginia Woolf's works. Philosophical with wry humor and a deep sense of what makes people tick.
The first dialogue begins on the plane with her seatmate, a wealthy Greek, who is twice, make that thrice divorced. As happens so often in life, the two passengers share many secrets about their lives. We learn that the Greek has a disabled brother and disabled child. His ex, the mother of his son, wanted to institutionalize the boy, but the
I'm not one for doing the whole of anything: the Appalachian Trail, canoeing the Amazon, skiing across Antarctica, but yes I can see the attraction of visiting every country in the world. The problem is that it is a moving target. Governments change, countries come and go, and unless you are super rich "doing" the world in a timely fashion is not possible.
Yet the inventive, gutsy, rule-breaking Podell finally managed to complete them all though it did take a half century. He began his foreign travels with a quick trip to Canada when he was 24. And yes, he considered this international travel light.
He just completed a degree in international studies. A few years later, as editor of an adventure magazine, he decided he was tired of sending people off on exotic jaunts and staying home, so he set off with a friend to complete the longest land journey ever attempted with his good friend Steve. They got sponsors to pay for the trip and hired a photographer.
Are you a grammar aficionado? Do you love learning the ins and outs of different jobs? Do you like reaffirming that your grammar and punctuation is spot-on, or why and how it has strayed from the path of correctness? If so, Mary Norris's Between You & Me is exactly right for you.
Norris describes her life before and during her thirty year tenure at The New Yorker as a copy writer with the detailed knowledge to make sure that the correct word, usage and punctuation is always employed. To accomplish that, her best tool (other than her comprehensive knowledge of grammar) was her noteworthy stash of No. 1 pencils. What an odyssey it was to keep a supply of the best proofreading pencil in the world. And those in a perfect working state. Solution: a passionate epistolary correspondence with one manufacturer of the yellow-painted rods.
With humor and great descriptive ability Norris describes her first jobs, as a foot checker at a public swimming pool (checking for Athletes foot before swimmers entered the pool), and milkman—make that milkwoman--a job those under fifty may not even know existed. Later, she went to graduate school in literature, and moved to New York where she took a few lowly desk jobs before she scored an interview at America's most prestigious literary magazine, The New Yorker.

The purpose of our trip was to hold meetings in the villages of Ikwega and Mayota where people were gathering, having come from miles around, to discuss the possibility of building two more new schools. Justin and I had originally talked about making the two-day trip just the two of us, but it seemed like such a great opportunity that we decided to take Yotham and Issac, two of our college students, on the trip with us.
Behind those long dark lashes there were tears. Trying to hide her grief, little Lillian attempted to smile. She had come to tell me that Adelia's mother wanted us to return Adelia's belongings from her dorm room to her house. There have been many tears and grief around here these days as everyone here at school has come to grips with our very big loss – dear, dear Adelia. Each time someone said something the memories of our time together came rushing back ...
It was an hour or so before dusk when Florian came to our door and Susan gave him a seat in the living room and called for me. It was too dark in the house for me to see his face and so I said let's go outside and go for a walk the two of us.
So, what do you want young man?
Everyone -- all our students, people in the village, really everyone -- is just thrilled that last night the big D6 bulldozer arrived! Work has begun in earnest at the college clearing out three additional meadows -- we have a lab building to build in one meadow, 4 new lecture halls planned for a second meadow, and in a big meadow way to the back of the campus we're going to put in three more houses for professors. Once that's all done, we're going to use that bulldozer to put in a serious firebreak -- a huge road -- that will completely surround our entire 55-acre campus.
A decade ago here in Tanzania, the song "Jesus will wipe away all of our tears" was wildly popular and I remember that our bus driver would play it over and over as he drove people on the three-hour trip all the way to Lugoda Hospital for AIDS treatment. Back in those days, people were only starting to come into the idea that AIDS was a disease you could live with, hope was in short supply, and it seemed that tears flowed all the time. People liked that song.
I remember the first time I was confronted with the reality that using the names of people and not their numbers upset the government medical personnel. We were distributing people's files on a HIV/AIDS clinic day a few years back and I got scolded and told that we were the ONLY clinic in the whole region that used names -- and the head doctor didn't mean that as a compliment. She really was angry. I remember that it really struck me odd that using names and not numbers would be so disturbing –especially in a place where people have never gone to school and consequently don't know numbers.
When we came to the first bridge I knew we were in trouble. The river was a torrent and water had already risen right up to the bottom of the bridge. I could see that on the other side of the bridge part of the road had already been washed away. My heart sank.
The last official moments of our leadership conference were over by 9 pm, but the distribution of everything from textbooks to soccer jerseys, receipt books to report cards went on until way past midnight. And then at 2:30 in the morning, the first bus pulled away from our college campus where we had held the conference to take people to town so they could start catching buses and trucks that would take everyone back to our schools scattered over the eight regions of this country. All day I've been receiving SMS messages on my phone, and tonight the first of those are actually getting home.
Sometimes I just can't help but marvel at how people who are dying or losing loved ones have time to remember to make sure you are comfortable in their homes when you go to visit them. How many times have I visited someone near death who quickly comes to life barking orders to "get the chairs for the visitors!" I marvel at it all. In addition to their hospitality, their generosity is simply humbling. As soon as they have something to share, they share it. I might be coming to bring them a blanket, some fruit, a mattress, but in return there is always a gift.
We had walked down the hill around the corner and we were standing in the middle of a meadow on the college campus, surrounded by these beautiful towering pines, on the place where we're going to build the chapel one day.

Silverthorne is also a great place to rent skis; it's often cheaper to go with a multi-day rental from a Silverthorne ski shop than rent on the mountain. The surrounding Ptarmigan and Eagles Nest Wilderness areas are excellent for outdoor recreation of all kinds.
Once the snow melts, Silverthorne's Blue River becomes a big draw for anglers. The Blue River sports four different types of fat and feisty trout. Fly-fishing is the preferred method, but lure fishing is also effective along the banks.
If fishing or skiing don't suit your fancy, then perhaps Silverthorne's prime shopping will excite you. Today, one the town's biggest draws is the Outlets at Silverthorne, featuring a multiplex of more than 70 name-brand stores and deep discounts.

August 7, 2011, 10:00 AM
I've been searching for .30 M1 long range ballistics at say, 450 yards. Seems to me the drop would be extreme at that range, but I can't find any data. Any sources?

Are you talking Carbine or Garand?

August 7, 2011, 10:22 AM
How does your gun shoot at that range? Shoot a few targets at that range with surplus M2 to set a benchmark to compare any other ammo to. Theroy is great but it is the practical application that counts....chris3
August 7, 2011, 10:22 AM
Sorry, I meant .30 M1 Carbine, not .30-06.
August 7, 2011, 11:28 AM
BC = Ballistic Coefficient; MRT = Mid-Range Trajectory; yards = yds.; inches = "; MPBR = Maximum Point Blank Range
.30 Carbine (110 RN at 1990) .144--+2.8"-----=-8.2"--------+3"@85---- 171yds
Information from Chuck Hawks page.
It should shoot 450yds, but more like a mortar.
Flatbush Harry
August 7, 2011, 11:34 AM
It's worth remembering that the .30 M1 Carbine was intended as a handgun replacement for other than frontline troops in WWII. As a pistol round, it is equivalent to a .30 magnum...other than in Elmer Keith's hands, a handgun is not a useful 450yd tool.
Art Eatman
August 7, 2011, 12:37 PM
An '06, zeroed at 200 yards, drops about two feet at 400 yards; four feet at 500.
Most likely zero for the Carbine would be around 100 yards, so I wouldn't be at all surprised for a drop of eight or ten feet at 450.
And that's just sitting here staring at the monitor, not using tables. :)
August 7, 2011, 01:34 PM
Given a 110 grain FMJ-RN @ 1990, with a BC of .178 and a 100 yard zero, drop at 450 yards would be about 9 feet.
August 7, 2011, 03:19 PM
There is a term for .30 Carbine shooting at 450 yards. It's called indirect fire.:D
August 7, 2011, 04:49 PM
I once had a Browning Hi Power with tangent sight, that, after using it on a big flatfaced rock along the ravine and stone ledge next to the shooting range, I could set the the sight on the 350 meter mark, and could smack the rock (laser ranged at 422 yards). I would guess that any M1 Carbine capable of 2-3" groups at 100 yds could easily be held high at 450, and do as well. Given marksmanship abilities, the AVERAGE soldier probably could not consistently plug a full size silhouette target at 450 with ANY of the US military rifles or carbines ( average GI here, not infantry or sniper). BUT, an infantryman with an expert rifle rating (and ability), or sniper, and just a little practice with the carbine, could almost assuredly smack targets at 450 with the M1 carbine. Right out of the gate with an unfamiliar weapon, no, but give them a little time on the range, then YES.
August 7, 2011, 05:29 PM
I shot an M1 Carbine at a 200 yd competition. The ballistics had it dropping 8 inches between 175 & 225 yds. I wasn't shooting great ammo either. I didn't come in last!
August 7, 2011, 05:36 PM
If a squad of 13 guys fired their M-1 carbines at once in a Volley-Fire, an enemy soldier at 400 yards MIGHT be slightly wounded. It's a pistol/revolver cartridge and nothing more.
I'm fairly certain that many deer have fallen to this cartridge at close range by experienced woodsmen.
August 7, 2011, 06:07 PM
A squad, huh? :) OK. Just did a ballistic chart for the .30 carbine: 1900fps @ muzzle, sighted at 200 yard zero. It will hit about 8" high at 100 yards, and 3" shy of 12 FEET LOW @450 yards. Translated, hold about 10 feet over your targets head. Now, the bad part. If you choose to let yourself stand there, and let a squad of guys with M1 carbines shoot at you at 450 yards, don't laugh at them in the open too long. The .30 cal bullets will be cutting into you (110grs) at about 824fps, about the same as a .32ACP at the muzzle, but the bullets will be almost 40gr heavier than the .32. :p
August 7, 2011, 06:23 PM
Additonal bad news. The .30 carbine has more energy @450 yards than the .223 55gr FMJ @700 yds. Yes, we know the carbine is a more short range weapon, but 450 yards is not enough to put you out of harms way. Our guys occasionally take shots @600-800 yards with the M16, and expect killing shots. Lots of factors to argue here. If you shorten the barrel on the M16 (M4), or calculate with the M855 ammo, etc, everything changes (up & down). If you use an M4 with the heavy GI ammo, but try to use it too far out, it poops out, too. Given that 80-90% of MOST IF NOT ALL combat firefights occur at 200 or less yards, an M1 carbine with softpoint ammo might be as deadly as any M16 variant or ammo.
August 7, 2011, 06:31 PM
I would guess that any M1 Carbine capable of 2-3" groups at 100 yds could easily be held high at 450, and do as well.
I'll take that bet, every day of the week.
August 7, 2011, 06:38 PM
Given normal accuracy of 3" @ 100, we're talking a possible group roughly 14-16" @ 450 yds (3"/100 x 4.5). You do understand that, right? If I had a 450 yd range to fire on, I'd be up to do it with my guns, but I don't think it would be fair, as mine are a little more accurate than 3"/100yds................:)
August 7, 2011, 06:48 PM
Realistically the M1 carbine was an assault weapon before they had been named. In it's M2 selective fire variation, it fills all the requirements. Think of it that way and employ it like you would any other .30 caliber assault rifle (*cough*AK47*cough*) and it'll do well. Try to use it as a battle rifle ala the M1903 or the M1 Garand and you'll get in trouble.
August 7, 2011, 06:55 PM
Given normal accuracy of 3" @ 100, we're talking a possible group roughly 14-16" @ 450 yds (3"/100 x 4.5). You do understand that, right?
You've never shot LR, have you? You simply can't take a 100 yard group and multiply by the number of 100 yards increments you are shooting at to get what the group should be. If that were so, all my 1,000 yard groups (not with a M1 Carbine) would be less than 10".
August 7, 2011, 07:08 PM
I would think a .30 carbine at 450 yards may still have the ability to completely penetrate a human torso, potentially creating more than a slight wound. I can think of better things than being shot in the head and torso point blank by a .32 pistol, but that's just me.
At the more realistic range of within 25 yard, the .30 carbine from an 18" barrel (such as that of the M1 carbine) possesses the energy to roughly that of a .44 Remington magnum (950+ ft/lbs). In my opinion, the M1 carbine is out of its element beyond 150 yards, where it's "energy" drops down to that of a .357 magnum.
At 25 yards and with JHP/JSP, I have no doubt the M1 carbine will reliably/realistically drop the biggest and baddest of men.
August 7, 2011, 08:02 PM
Bigger people are easier to hit, as well as kill. Organs are larger in size, therefore easier to put a hole through. It aint like they have thicker skin....:D
No issues with hunting whitetail deer and hogs with the M1Carbine here. I use 110gr soft points and keep the shots inside of 100yds
August 7, 2011, 08:10 PM
Actually, I've shot at 1000 on several occasions at Camp Perry. I understand what you are saying, but we are talking theoretical, and in some instances, rifles shoot BETTER at ranges beyond 100 yards. A 100 yard group is just a measurement. I've shot on almost windless days, and that sure helps a lot. Will a marksman always hit a target at a reachable range, like 450? Naw. Throw in stress, a micro-movement of the body, a gust of wind; there goes the mini-group. But, a man sized target is just a tad bigger than a POSSIBLE group from a stock carbine. Could a guy hit 50% of the time at that range? I'd be happy with that. In combat, even 1 out of 3 shots would be great, especially if it was shot #1. :D I recently shot a 200 yard group with my GI Saginaw SG carbine that came in under 3". I'm sure it won't happen all the time, but it is possible, on occasion. That is why I have faith in PROBABLE hits at longer ranges with the carbine. I have a lot of "holdover" shooting in, with such guns as 300 Whisper and subsonics, and even the 510 Whisper (also subsonic with 600+ grain bullets) at 600 yards. Not sure of possible groups at that range, as it was informal shooting (with API bulets, which will let you know where you are hitting on rocks.:D). Of course, in combat conditions, target are obscured, ranges are unknown, the shooting is fast and furious, and you don't always wait to see if you have a hit. It is still interesting to practice the long shots, and your range estimation and performance are always better as a result of it.
August 7, 2011, 08:13 PM
M1 Carbine round at 450 yards= probably 8 FEET of drop(most likey more).
Id bet most everything between shooter and target is in danger. Target pretty safe.

August 7, 2011, 09:28 PM
To repeat a story: I once worked with a guy who had been a USMC medic from Guadalcanal on northward through the islands. His comment was that if a Japanese squad was seen out at, say, 600 or 800 yards and guys with carbines opened up, "...they didn't even break stride." His exact words. When the Garands started chugging, it was scatter-time.
August 7, 2011, 10:34 PM
My dad served in the Phillipines. He was issued a carbine, and said he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with it. I always believed him, until I started shooting one. I never beat him up over it; a vet can develope any opinion of any gun he wants. They deserve the right. He dumped it and carried a Garand shortly after hitting the first island, in addition to the 81mm mortar parts or ammo (he was a mortarman). I think the biggest complaint there was inadequate penetration in the jungles, and the Japanese doping up and taking more than a carbine round to go down. The disdain for the carbine by the infantry ahead of him was probably what made him shoot so poorly with the carbine, not the accuracy of the carbine itself. But, we're talking can it hit at 450 in this discussion, and I think it can. There are certainly better fighting rifles, but few as portable or handy in close quarters. My carbines are consistently more accurate than my AK variants.

Joseph is online now
I am currently a Partner at a Consulting firm where I hold
This answer was rated:
I am currently a Partner at a Consulting firm where I hold 10% ownership of the firm. We as a firm are working towards cashing out everyone's ownership percentage (mine currently worth $21,000). Our CEO/my boss (owns 60%) elects to draw money from what is due to him in amounts of $10k/$20k as he needs cash. However, when we had a discussion this morning about me wanting to move on from the firm due to irreconcilable differences, I was told they "the firm doesn't owe me a damn thing", furthermore that if I were to be paid back, it would be done in a way where as the firm has the cash to do so, they will pay back all Partners.
Isn't this contradicting given he draws directly from it whenever he pleases, only to ask me to cut him a check?
I am 26 years old and because I am a Partner (promoted from an Executive Assistant) and receive a Schedule K-1, I also pay taxes on income allocated to the firm at the end of every year. So I have financial implications, but am not treated as a Partner in any other way which may or may not be valid in court given it's due to interpersonal differences with the rest of my Partners (who are ages 50+). My boss says this isn't a "Partnership" because our other Partners are not performing as they should be. I'm very confused by all of this and something doesn't seem right. Was I given just a title and have to deal with financial implications based on our annual Profit and Loss but am unable to collect what is due to me? Is there an opportunity for a case here? 2011 was my first year as a Partner so I want to make sure I understand what is/is not due to me.
Thank you,

Hello Jeremy,
Welcome to JustAnswer.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation and hope I can help.
Unfortunately, since you are a partner in the firm, you wouldn't be due the ownership stake in the firm at the time of termination, whereas you would be due all wages that are owed to you at the time of termination.
It definitely seems unfair that the CEO draws cash from the company when he needs it, and is unwilling to cash out your parternship stake when you requested it, but, unfortunately, it isn't illegal for them to do so.
You would have a cause of action for breach of contract if you are not eventually paid the ownership stake that you are due, but this would likely be governed by the terms of your partnership agreement and not employment law.
I wish I had better news to give you, but I hope you appreciate a direct and honest answer to your question.

Does an embezzlement claim stand true in this instance? My CEO originally had me cut him a series of checks as he needed cash in 2011 in the amounts of $10,000-$20,000 (totaling $80,000). This resulted in several Profit & Loss spreadsheets to show that the revenue for that particular month was a Loss when it should have been a Profit if he had not taken money out. This was also BEFORE we rewrote the 8th edition of our Operating Agreement in early 2012 (where he then put in language at the advice of our lawyer that all capital contributions would be repaid to Partners). Those payouts in 2011 still effected our taxes, for better or for worse. There might not be much here, and I'm certainly not trying to fish here, but given mey previous comment to you, I hope you can see why I feel uncomfortable being in my mid-20s around a manipulative individual such as my boss when I am taking a financial hit from this firm, making far less than what his previous Executive Assistant made (and I'm a Partner). I want to ensure I'm not going to lose my job because I decided to take a stand against him. The guy is a bully and while there is a certain level of emotion behind this, I don't want to all of a sudden be told that I was voted out of the firm because I was considered "hard to work with" after standing my ground.
In addition to this, he has for the past two years said negative things about our other Partners, saying that this "isn't really a Partnership" and "they're just threatened by you because you're smarter and run circles around former C-Suite executives", then tell's me he permits me to "push back" on them. After pushing back in a professional manner, I'm then told by him (in the conversation last week where he switched it up to say this firm doesn't owe me a *explicit word* dime) that they now have ammo to use against me with regards XXXXX XXXXX I'm hard to work with.
Joseph, I have worked here for 4 years, starting as an Administrative Coordinator, to Executive Assistant to a Partner. I work very hard, extremely long hours, and have bag full of feedback that is very complimentary from ALL of our clients about the service I provide to them (project manager, administrative work, etc. - we are a management consulting firm). I feel like I'm now imprisoned after being hailed the secret sauce for so long from this firm to now being the individual that is "hard to work with". When I became a Partner, I felt it was a Partner's responsibility to push the firm, to enhance it in any way possible and to ensure I'm putting in the effort to maximize any branding opportunity out there. My Partners choose to barely be involved, thus my frustration with them along which my boss agrees to, but now he's switching it up on me.
Between all of this, him taking a business trip or two and telling me that if the Partners or his wife calls to ask, that it's client-related (even though it's not), to finding him responding to CraigsList ads while in London for young men (I have access to his email, not sure why he would send it from that account), I need to protect myself so that I don't lose anything, including my job or my own reputation.
Any advice would be helpful here. If you need clarification on any of this, I am happy to provide that to you.
Many thanks,
In addition to this,

There may be an embezzlement claim there, but it would be hard to prove that he was embezzling and not taking a loan for the amount or taking an advance on salary. Especially since he had you cut the checks and didn't use any 'underhanded' means of taking the money, it doesn't really seem like a case of embezzlement to me.
I understand your frustration and concern, but it really doesn't seem like that would constitute embezzlement.
However, if you are terminated as a result of your complaint about not being paid fairly, you would have a cause of action for wrongful termination in violation of public policy, alhtough, it is a difficult cause of action to prove and a hard one to get an attorney interested in, depending on the potential payout.

text: I initially thought I would have an entire week away from the farm to go do a nice long trip but it turned out to be a 3-day trip through the Drakensberg Mountain region that I really enjoyed. I had ordered a set of Wolfman Expedition Panniers and the Motech racks through a local dealer and was keen to test them. My previous setup with Enduristan rollbags had the weight too high on the bike and I saw this Wolfman/Motech setup had got some very good reviews. Set out on Tuesday early, headed SE and that was the full extent of the plan. Have bike, will travel. Going to dispense with lots of writing and cut to the chase with pix and captions: This was the luggage setup: Wolfman panniers (1 for clothes and kitchen stuff, 1 for sleeping bag, stove, mattress etc), Wolfman Tailbag (for tools, snacks, map, camera, First Aid kit), Enduristan rollbag for tent, stool, groundsheet). Bike felt better balanced and more secure. The reviews were had been good as the panniers are rock solid and easily accessible on the road. The local dealer had short-changed me with a local design for the D-rings for the SW Motech racks. I have ordered the proper Wolfman setup with the velcro webbing Ds that are a much more secure-looking setup. Big Brother farmer version can be found out and about on the cropping area backroads. Beauty and the Beast ... Self portrait: The veld always smells so sweet and clean, it's no wonder we spend so much time there to clear our heads of the everyday stuff. Some typical Vrystaat thorntree scrub areas near Heuningspruit (Honey stream) in the Freestate province. In Bethlehem, I stopped for my rats: lamb chops, milk, and my weekly reading matter. Got to stay up to date out on the road. The great thing about bikes is traffic is no problem. Outside of Bethlehem there are a lot of roadworks and there are kilometres of jams both ways. Easy solution to that problem: lane split to the front, as the attendant pulls the mobile armco out the way, gas it and it's hasta la vista traffic jams and back on the open road. It looked like some good storms were brewing over the Drakensberg SE of Clarens so I decided to head in that general direction. More on serious thunderstorms later. The weather got heavier the further SE I travelled and I was glad I was not a hiker up in the mountains today. The wind was gusting quite strongly as I headed for the small camp site of Glen Reenen in the Golden Gate Highlands Reserve where I was overnighting. I got an awesome campsite right next to this little stream. A better, more tranquil site you would be hard pressed to find. Being a mid-week trip, there were only a few other vehicles in the camp, amongst them two overlander vehicles, one from Germany and one from Holland. Sorry guys, no Landies, they broke down before they reached the Mediterranean! > I used a good Boere plan for this low energy requirement cooler: The previous night there was heavy thunder and lightning all around my camp and while I got a few drops of rain and some strong winds, nothing worth writing home about. I did notice that the stream had risen quite a bit since earlier so the rain must have been higher up the mountains. Nothing like the sound of running water to soothe you to sleep. (Unless you are peeing in your bed :biggrin:) Next morning, after a good cuppa, I packed up and headed out with not much of a plan. Which is to say I had the best plan of all when out riding My cell phone charger had stopped working so I had to stop in Harrismith, the closest large town, for a repair/replace mission. In Harrsimith, the local 4WD accessory shop wheeled my bike into their shop, whipped out a tester and soon we had identified a loose wire as the problem. Within 20 minutes we had the problem sorted, got offered a free coffee and no charge for the assistance and was on my way again. Got to love South African hospitality! :thumleft: Seeing as how I had missed a trip to a fellow biker's country getaway in December, I thought I would take a ride down that way and see what the countryside looked like there. Damn nice ride over the mountains and after the recent rains all was fresh and green but very humid. Looked if I could see Jacque's place from the top of the mountain. (That's Geluksburg town way down there). Quaint little place and nice if you are looking to escape the rat race. Between Geluksburg and Bergville, I came across maize and soya crops destroyed by a hail storm. There were road repairs going on so I never took any pix but chatted with two crop assessors sitting alongside the road under a big Paperbark tree assessing the damage and their comments were that the farmers are looking at a serious hail claim. Onward, ever westward. Ehm, make that NWestward. Rode through the Zulu tribal areas and found the guys friendly, many waving and the kids making bike riding moves as I passed. This pic on the bridge over the Woodstock dam was pretty with its views onto even more serious thunderstorms brewing over the Drakensberg. Check how all the stanchions from the safety guard have been liberated (Stainless steel) for scrap metal : The bridge is a good 750m long and almost every last stanchion has been sawn off, on both sides. En route to my overnight campsite I came across this real adventure biker (check out the windscreen wiper in the last pic). For the guys looking for ideas for screens for the XR650L, take some tips from this guy, he says no buffetting behind that screen It started raining heavily the last section just before entering the Royal Natal National Park. This was great as it was really hot and humid and the welcome rain cooled me down nicely. After I'd paid my entrance fee, I loaded up on the necessary supplies, loaded the 800 like a pack mule and headed off in search of a site to pitch my tent. Heavy thunder clouds were threatening again so I pitched camp quickly. My second Boere cooler, even lighter on energy use than the first one. Royal Natal is a very neat and orderly site. The gardens, buildings and facilities are topclass. It really does have that old colonial feel to it, and has "another era" atmosphere about it. I enjoyed it a lot. The views are great and life is good while I am there. And then it rained! And hailed! It was awesome watching these storms roll down from the peaks, one after the other, with great thunder and lightning and plenty of rain that covered the peaks totally. Really a humbling experience as always. My helmet and jacket don't make good company when stuck in a tent for a while. So then you tend to get up to this to pass the time: This Bushbuck doe wandered around the campsite like she was part of the furniture. Later that evening while I was enjoying the view, she came past and disappeared into the thick bush around the edge of the camp where she spent the night. Even these common guinea fowl were eating crispbread out of my hand. Great to camp so close to nature. Next morning, what better way to greet the day than with a cup of tea brewed on the Jetboil right outside your tent. Man, what a life. Man of the road, that's me. :biggrin: Who needs all that stuff when we can do this: ... and then go for a walk here: Thursday morning and I'm not really in the mood to get back to the farm and its responsibilities. I dawdle with striking my camp, often jsut sitting on my camp stool and pondering the meaning of life while looking at the peaks. But life goes on and eventually the bike is packed and I'm on the road again. It's 08h30 and already the temperature is 28*C and humidity around 90% so I'm glad to be moving. The difference in temperature between the low lying valley and the top of the mountain as I crest it is around 5*C. Taking my sweet time back, I stop between the towns of Bethlehem en Lindley, fiddle with the GPS and decide to take a loooooong way home across the rolling veld and croplands. A melancholy piece of history: Touched by the sun :huh Mad bastid. Not me, not me!! Total distance: 1080 km; average consumption: 4.6l/100 km; average speed: 68km/h

In Brief: House Majority Leader Cantor loses primary
House Majority Leader Cantor loses primary
RICHMOND, Va. -- House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was defeated Tuesday by a little-known economics professor in Virginia's Republican primary, a stunning upset and major victory for the tea party.
Cantor is the second-most powerful member of the U.S. House and was seen by some as a possible successor to the House speaker.
His loss to Dave Brat, a political novice with little money, marks a huge victory for the tea party movement, which supported Cantor just a few years ago.
Brat had been a thorn in Cantor's side on the campaign, casting the congressman as a Washington insider who isn't conservative enough.
Brat teaches at Randolph-Macon College, a small liberal arts school north of Richmond.
He raised just more than $200,000 for his campaign, according to the most recent campaign finance reports. Prominent national tea party groups did spend independently to help Brat.
Brat offset the cash disadvantage with endorsements from conservative activists and with help from local tea party activists angry at Cantor.
Report: Social Security judges rubber-stamp claims
WASHINGTON -- Amid complaints about lengthy waits for Social Security disability benefits, congressional investigators say nearly 200 administrative judges have been rubber-stamping claims, approving billions of dollars in lifetime payments from the cash-strapped program.
Four of the judges defended their work at a congressional hearing Tuesday. Tuesday's hearing comes as Social Security's disability program edges toward the brink of insolvency.
By the time disability cases reach an administrative law judge, the claims have been rejected at least once and often twice by workers in state offices.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., was incredulous that so many judges would rule that initial rejections were so often wrong.
"Are the people below you always wrong?" Issa asked Judge Charles Bridges, of Harrisburg.
"I would say they are not legally trained," replied Bridges, who approved 95 percent of the cases he decided.
The panel's report found 191 judges approved more than 85 percent of cases they decided from 2005 to 2013. All told, those judges approved $153 billion in lifetime benefits, the report said.
Senate panel gives $2Bfor child immigrants
WASHINGTON -- A Senate appropriations panel has approved giving the Obama administration $2 billion it requested to handle the influx of immigrant children caught trying to cross the Mexican border alone.
The Obama administration in May asked the Senate panel to give the Health and Human Services Department $1.4 billion more than the administration originally asked for to deal with tens of thousands of children who were apprehended this year by the Homeland Security Department.
The full Senate would have to act on its version, and the House has not yet dealt with the issue.
More than 48,000 child immigrants traveling alone have been apprehended at the border since the beginning of the 2014 budget year in October.

Locating the Correct Strain Washer
Power WasherDon't be intimidated by the energy of a force washer. Pressure washers are simple to run and offer significantly a good deal much more pressure than your backyard garden hose to give your home a total cleansing.
Choosing the proper stress washer is easy. For one-story houses, an electrical strain washer packs adequate punch to get the first floor glowing.
For two-story properties, residence proprietors have to just take into account a gasoline-driven pressure washer to get to considerable, hard-to-get to areas.
The Appropriate Way to Deal with It
Getting a force washer is only the very initial stage. Adhere to these six additional concepts for acquiring your vinyl siding to radiate cleanliness:
- 1. The Resolution is the Solution

Ford claims its Taurus is the quickest police vehicle
The vehicle rocketed from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.66 seconds
By Chris Woodyard
USA Today
MICHIGAN — The new turbocharged Ford Taurus modified into its Police Interceptor sedan proved faster than Chevrolet Caprice V-8 and Dodge Charger with a Hemi V-8 in tests by the Michigan State Police, according to Ford.
"Agencies tell us if the bad guys see the police vehicle quickly close in pursuit, they're less likely to try to run," says Bill Gubing, a Ford chief engineer, in a statement. "If this can help reduce the number of high-speed chases, then we could improve public safety on our nation's roads."
The Ford Taurus for police, with an EcoBoost turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive, rocketed from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.66 seconds. That compares to 6.04 seconds for the 5.7-liter Hemi-equipped Dodge Charger and 6.01 seconds in the Chevrolet Caprice with a 6-liter V-8.

Persistent Sore Throat and Non Allergic Rhinitis
Q: I was diagnosed as having post nasal drip about 3 years ago, probably induced due to the airconditioned environment I work in. Sinve then, I been on inhaled steroids due to dry cough. However, my symptoms did get better. But, about 3 weeks ago, I woke up feeling a sore throat, persistent dry cough amd severe earpain. My GP told me that it was caused due to excessive post nasal drip I was having. I was given Clarinase and Muciclar capsules, and Avamys Nasal Spray. The symtpoms got worse after 5 days and I was given a 5 day course of Clarithromycin. It started getting better, and all symptoms subsided. However, the doctor told me I still had blockage in my passages due to the dripping. Anyway, after one day that I got back to work, I been having a really sore throat again, so bad I can't even swallow my own saliva. I am taking regular anti inflammatories (that do help in reducing pain). However when the next dose is needed, the pain increases again. I might be worried that it's something chronic?
Post nasal drip has become chronic symptom for you, its caused by increased secretions in your nose, the increased secretions due to the air conditioned environment at your work.
In order to avoid the symptoms you may want to try to move your seat to a place that is away from the air-conditioning vents, or facing the opposite direction of the vent.
Secondly you may want to consult an ENT specialist (Ear, Nose Throat), to rule out any sinus, ear or throat infection, and also check for a nasal polyp that may have developed which could be causing the severe pain, congestion and dry cough.
Treating the cause of the post nasal drip is key to curing the sore throat and other symptoms.

My problem with this rally is that it is based entirely on the printing presses at the Fed. Our government is pumping cash into the markets to devaluate the dollar and support the markets. Its a lot easier to maintain value at Google, IBM, and even JP Morgan when the dollar is shedding value and the entire economy is on the skids. I guess the Fed decided if they couldn't beat China they would join them by devaluating the US Dollar.
Do you remember?
"the dollar is our currency is your problem" (USA couple of year ago)
Europe is saying ;"The EURO is our currency and your problem"
Because at the end and yet already, USA and dollarrelated countries are paying world wide inflation, more then tehy do in Europe and this situation will stay for a while
exemple: Oil is 115 dollars thats almost 4 times the price in dollars of 2000
In Euro's this is only to times.
Thanks Bernanke, that's to Bush
congratulations! hope you made a mint! good luck to you!
true true
Only the printing presses of the fed...?
What if the news commentator spun this out of proportion and we really aren't in a recession?
I'm not affected and don't see the streets lined with workers.
well that would be a depression not a recession. We keep topping out right around here and if we break through on Monday there will be some serious action.
My question is this, if goog was worth 500 before the dollar was cut in half and now even more money is being printed....why isn't goog at 1k?
When will that inflation and devaluation hit the markets?
<<My question is this, if goog was worth 500 before the dollar was cut in half and now even more money is being printed....why isn't goog at 1k? When will that inflation and devaluation hit the markets? >>
if 52 % of their business is overseas, what makes you think they're doing those transactions in dollars? hmmmmmm! cannot remember for sure, but aren't they reporting in US peso dollars......hmmmmmm!!! with the yen at the feb high yesterday? and now they have had a blowout quarter! looks like our friend Cramer might have even been duped. he's certainly no virgin either...bet he will do better next time!...go figure.
I've always been curious how the gov gets all that newly printed money into the market. They surely don't give it away. I haven't gotten any free Hamiltons from the gov. How does this work. How do I get some of it.
Take out a loan from JP Morgan. They have substantial new credit lines open from the Fed printing presses.
Is that I didn't bet enough money on it!
Its that your are not actually winning, you just have a spewed perspective on winning as your dollar is worth less on world markets and the price on commodities are rocketing. We are looking at a repeat of the 70's with inflation consuming long term growth for a short term gain. If the GOP wanted to truly support the economy it would stop bleeding our markets just in the interest of saving face for failed policies.

The Cartier LOVE Bracelets Series is one of Cartier's most iconic pieces. Inspired by the medieval tradition of the chastity belt, the LOVE series is available in bracelets, rings, necklaces, and earrings. The bracelets are very much sought after, with their screw closure.
This Cartier love bracelet is beautiful and looks very similar to the replica Cartier love bracelet! It is classIc, simple and beautiful! This item also shipped very quickly and I received it much much earlier than the estimated shipping date. If you are even considering purchasing this item, do so, because you will love it!
Animals lovely image is the weakness of all women, nobody can resist their darling, every woman will involuntarily reveal the most innocent side in front of the small animals, more especially when they are covered with diamond and the color of the treasure, Cartier love ring and Cartier love bracelet replica are the best gift given to a woman,you can get it in our shop.
I thought I take a moment to share with you a requested topic and it is my pleasure to do so. I will be sharing with you my Cheap Cartier Love Bracelet. Now, these are gifts and I never take them off. But for this show-and-tell session and Cartier love bracelet review I will be taking them off for you.
I ordered 2 bracelets the gold and the silver! they are absolutely beautiful and the quality is fantastic. HOWEVER they were extreamly small i have supper thin wrists and every bangle bracelet i have ever purchased has fit however this one did not! so if u are interested in buying these bracelets i strongly advise u to inquire or research sizes because they are very small but they are still beautiful.
I bought two of these for my niece and my daughter. I expected them to be nice rings for the price but was really surprised at how great they were! They even arrived in little gift wrapped ring boxes with cute little bows on top for the holidays. This seller really cares about the details and I was just really impressed.
Cartier replica love bracelet- size 16cm and 18 cm Amazing replica Cartier Love Bracelet size 16. Never worn, didn't fit. Was only tried on for size. I have 2 size 16cm bracelets and I also have a size 18cm that I wore a few days and it was too big. In total 3 are for sale.
Cartier's LOVE Bracelets collection is one of the jewelry brand's most popular right now. Created in the 1970s, pieces from the iconic line have been spotted on some of the most famous and stylish celebs, including Katie Holmes, Mila Kunis and Jennifer Aniston. The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star likes to display hers in Instagram pics and wear them while bopping around town.
They look good enough to wear on a nice dinner,but yet casual,they stretch a good amount,and the string is some sort of plastic string,and it looks like it's put together with a quite a few strings to avoid breaking.they have held up through showers and household tasks.i love it,and the littls girls do too.perfect stocking stuffer,party favors, or for active lil girls
I have been wanting to purchase the cartier love bracelet for so long, but realized that the real thing isn't worth all the money. I was hesitant to purchase this particular one because I was afraid of it not looking like the real thing, and it would be so embarrassing wearing it. I really love this bracelet, it is so elegant and simple, and everything about it is amazing. I have a small wrist, and wish that the bracelet was a little bit smaller, but for an average wrist (lol) this is perfect. I don't have "cartier" marked inside, i don't know why some have it and some not. I decided to purchase another bracelet and the ring!
These are gender-neutral bracelets and suited to be worn by man or woman. I find them to be very classic, very chic, very elegant and rapid trendy these days as well. Cartier Love Bracelets were introduced in the seventies, I believe in 1974 or 1975. They have really endured the test time and they continue to still be extremely special and popular.
My boyfriend got me this ring for Valentine's Day and I couldn't be happier!!! I never take it off and I haven't had a problem with breakouts like I do with cheap jewelry, so I know that it is real. I'm not sure why other people were having problems finding the 925 stamp, I found mine on the inside. I would highly suggest getting this ring, it's beautiful and I get so many compliments on it.
This was Purchesd as a"non Valentine's Day"gift from my husband,to signify one sapphire for him one for my one for our daughter and one for our son and the 5th for our families journey together as our family is a blended one.I have helped raise his 2 beautiful children for the past 10yrs.
Add to that the choice of yellow, pink or white gold and the option of diamonds in place of its signature screws, and it's clear it's the fine jewelry piece that could find itself in anyone's collection — man or woman, young or old, over-the-top enthusiast or modern minimalist. And yet it's not quite like any other bracelet.
Is it normal for a cartier love bracelet not have the size number marked in the bracelet? I was told that the bracelet was a older version and it is the cuff not the closed version (where you need a screw) it has all the other markings but the size number. Could the bracelet be real?
I bought the rose gold and yellow gold in both the ring and bracelet after being very happy with the "white gold" version for awhile. Though the yellow gold is very pretty, it is a gold that is too deep and does not resemble my real gold jewelry in tone, but it is close. Because I don't like the idea of buying anything I will not use, I've decided I'll only use it in the evening and hope in time it will fade a bit with wear.
LOVE rings start at $1,060. Jenner has at least five. LOVE closed bangle bracelets start at $6,350. She has been seen wearing as many as five of these, as well. Worn all at once, this brings the total of her everyday arm candy to a cool $37,050, at the very least and not including any other baubles.

Got this bracelet in about seven days. Way sooner than expected. Although I think that they give a later date so your happy when it comes sooner! I got two. One for my mom and I. They're very shiny and elegant looking and very similar to the real ones. Possibly a little wider of a band? It feels very legit and its just heavy enough to reassure you that it's sturdy and not going to bend! I've been wearing for about two weeks now and not taken it off once.
I received this ring in about 2 days and I think it's great! It fits perfectly and I love the intricate detail of the heart and knot. I will buy from this seller again! It was in very good condition. The shipping was very fast and i got it within a couples of days of ordering the ring. I have no complaints what so ever.
I absolutely love this bracelet! I bought a gold and silver one. When they arrived I was so excited to try them on. They're stunning, fit great (need to have a small wrist tho) and I get a lot of complements on this. Not to mention, I've worn it in the shower and it hasn't changed color or anything! Once you put it on, it's meant to stay on. If you want to take it on and off everyday it's going to take sometime. I would suggest purchasing this item to anyone who wants a Cartier Love bracelet.
Note that the stamps aren't identical (the fake mistakenly puts the smudged Cartier logo on both sides and uses an 18kt stamp instead of Cartier's "750") and the fake's (on the right) are done sloppily and unevenly. The authentic Cartier love bracelet's stamping is crisp, level and easily legible.
If considering any of these, the white and rose gold are much nicer in my opinion. Be sure to measure your wrist as I ordered the men's version and I am a female with 6.5in wrists and the fit for me is perfect. This was ordered as a gift and the recipient had another she wanted it to match. She was thrilled with this product.
If I didn't know any better I would say this is the real thing. Quality excellent Presentation excellent I am like the other reviewer I'm ordering another one in stainless steel girls don't miss out on this this is just as close as the real thing is you're going to get Bravo!!!!!
I originally bought a another replica that I wasn't 100% satisfied with but this one hit the mark for me. The gold and silver are identical to the colors of my Michael Kors watches and for this price? It's a steal. HIGHLY recommend this item. Came quicker than expected as well.
I have had both of these bracelets for quite some time. These are the white gold with 10 diamonds and the rose gold with colored gemstones. I really love them, they are an iconic Cartier love bracelet symbolizing enduring love and commitment. So they are meaningful to me. They range in size from I believe starting at sixteen, all the way up to 22.

This bracelet is nice, I received one with stones in it and that is not what I wanted. Also it's small, so if u have a medium or large wrist this is not for you. The color of the bracelet is a rose gold. I was disappointed.
Jenner's rumored beau, Jaden Smith, is also a fan of the luxury jewelry line. Back in June, when he still a mere 14 years old, Smith said: "There was a time in my life when I'd go to Cartier, like, every weekend for like a month." I have the size 11 ring and it is BEAUTIFUL on my fingers. I love it so much that I've been wearing it in place of my wedding ring. It is very nice quality and extremely durable. It is so comfortable that I forget I have it on.

Found a great deal on a Cartier Love bracelet replica online? That deal will likely end up costing you. Cartier "sale" websites and "outlet" websites are absolute shams, and due to their fraudulent nature, they move around a lot. These sites are notorious for accepting your payment and never delivering a product.
Designed in 1969 in New York City, the LOVE bracelet was the creation of young Italian jewelry designer Aldo Cipullo, and it quickly became a must-have item for the city's chicest denizens. Inspired by the chastity belt and the idea that symbols of love should be everlasting, the bracelet's unique charm lies in its locking mechanism.
There was a package in my snail mailbox and I opened it. Turns out it's my Mother's Day gift and I opened it 2 days early! (Well!! It DID have MY name on it!!) Anyway, this is really the sweetest ring. Love this ring. perfect fit, perfect size. will highly recommend to anyone looking for inexpensive, yet stylish band. cudos to the customer who recommended getting one size larger. try it. you will like it.

Ideal for both day and evening wear.
Very pretty bracelet! I gave it to my mother for this past mother's day and she loved it. My only discretion is that it feels very light and looks a bit cheap, however keeping in mind how much i paid for the bracelet, i cannot take a star off for this. Either way she loved it.
The shipping was less than 10 days, it arrived in pristine/glistening order with the bracelet and screw tool. At first glance I though, "My god, this will not fit" as the circumference looked a tad to small for the average wrist. Wrong! It fit like a glove with room to slide to my mid-upper forearm. It took about 3 mins to put on so it wasn't as big a hassle as others have said it was. I originally bought 2, one as a gift. I will be purchasing an additional 3 because who knows when this secret will get out!
I wanted to buy something from Cartier love bracelet to shock my relatives on Christmas showing them what I got from myself to myself. I was trying to imagine my relatives' jealous faces wishing me to die so they can have my Cartier pendant, yes, this is what I wanted a pendant for myself on silk cord.I went to Cartier in my jeans and t-shirt that I used many times to wipe off my nose.
The Cartier love bracelet sales person looked at me like she was assessing how good I was in bed.I asked for Love pendant and she said that it was discontinued but they can order it directly from Cartier.I looked her straight in the face like she was an idiot and said I want it now. She said that she has to check with her supervisor.What?! You just said you don't have it.
When I ordered this item for my birthday present I was leery to by it online because I was afraid of it looking really fake/cheap. When I received it though it looks so real! It's definitely has got some weight to it. It also has the Cartier love bracelet logo on the inside. It's numbers on the inside are slightly different from the real Cartier love bracelets but looks real enough to pass as one. The only issue I have with it is the size. I have extremely small wrists so I wish these came in varied sizes so I could have my perfect size.

The 16-year-old reality starlet certainly lives quite the charmed life. Not only does she ride around Los Angeles in a $125,000 Mercedes SUV, make casual shopping trips to Barneys and carry a Celine bag, but she also dons around $40,000 worth of jewelry on her arms as everyday wear.
Holy shit some serious nicely placed rocks. The place is nicely laid out, really nice lighting of course to bring out the best visual personality of the pieces. The customer service was exceptional and warm. I have priced same ring in local stores…ridiculous prices. Im so glad I remembered Cartier. This seller really came through for me. I WILL buy again. Thanks so much for being exactly what you described.
As your trusted South Florida estate jeweler and pre owned jewelry boutique, it's our job to find our savvy customers the best deal on high quality jewelry and pre owned luxury watches. Our customers are stylish, but smart. They understand that there's no such thing as a "new" diamond (unless a few million years fits your definition of new). They understand that much like a luxury car, a luxury watch depreciates in value the moment it leaves the showroom (they also understand that a pre owned Rolex, pre owned Patek Philippe or pre owned Jaeger holds its value very well after that initial drop off).
Love this bracelet. Forgiven Jewelry has really cool stuff. I get tons of compliments each time I wear it. Fast delivery. Very satisfied. I bought this for my niece. Its really pretty. I got it sooner than I thought. I think any girl would like this. It comes in different colors. I got blue because its her favorite color. I was pleased with the price and that I got it so soon.

Rose Gold Cartier Love Bracelet Locked into fashion forever, industrial jewelry has had longevity with style. This rose gold Cartier love bracelet reflects that streak. Made of rose gold, flat.
These are fun pieces to add to my already big faux/knock offs collection. For a trained Cartier love bracelet enthusiasts, of course they will know… but for those who refuse to spend 3k on a simple bangle bracelet, go for it!!! They do not discolor in the shower. I wear mine for days on end and even sleep with them, stacked with no trouble at all. I have gold and silver. You will need a friend to help take them on and off and the attachments are just like the real Cartier love bracelet with the small nails and screw to fasten closed.
Rather than slipping onto your wrist, two C-shaped halves unhinge to clasp together before being screwed on with a miniature screwdriver included with each bracelet, reinforcing the idea that love is not to be taken lightly. child of 1970s New York, the A collection serves to seal love that transgresses convention. The stark screws, ideal oval shape and undeniable elegance establish the piece as a timeless tribute to passionate romance.
I purchased this cuff bracelet through Cartier love bracelet. I would have given this seller a five star rating, but I think that when I received the bracelet, it wasn't quite what I thought. I at least thought the peridot stone would be larger. I guess what I'm trying to say is that this bracelet is beautiful but overpriced.
During the 1930s, Cartier's directrice-artistique Jeanne Toussaint sent Cartier love bracelet designers to the zoo where their innovations led to Cartier's renowned panther and tiger designs. When Duchess of Windsor commissioned Cartier love bracelet to create two 3-D panther brooches (one composed with cabochon emeralds, the second with diamonds and sapphires) in 1948, it was soon after that the panther became the symbol of Cartier. Beyond the symbolic panther, two of Cartier's most desired collections remain the Cartier Tank and the Cartier LOVE Series.
I had got 3 of them recently in the different gold tones and I just love them! For love cartier lovers, it is the perfect deal. Eventhough this product comes from China it arrives fast!! Very easy to keep track of it contacting Amazon or the seller directly. For the price you get good quality. I will continue buying more from this seller.
She brought this pendant to me and then I was not really sure if I want to buy it.So, I took the Cartier magazine and went to the men's room to do my "thinking. "After "thinking" for 45 minutes and completely overflowing their beautiful bathroom I decided to buy it. The sales person Brunhilda was so surprised that I want to buy it that she told me she can wash my t-shirt from mucus right now.
For anyone wondering or if you're going to buy any of these products. It's shipping from China, I didn't know until I bought and it was taking some time to arrive. It was until later that I found out. So it may take quite some time. I feel like they should have mentioned that here.
This Cartier 18K White Gold Love Bracelet is in overall Excellent condition with no signs of wear visible to the naked eye. This bracelet is a size 21. It is accompanied by the screw driver. This is the newer model in which the screws do not completely come out. I'm really feeling the cross trend, so these bracelets were perfect. The color is so pretty. BUt I don't recommend them for everyday wear. They can get pretty stretched out.
