Creating a Future
Pilgrim Consulting partners with a number of organizations that focus on impacting the needs of distressed children and changing lives, not just by sustenance of food, but also by giving distressed children a future and independence by the building of schools for education and vocational training.

How and at what point do isolated events start to form a pattern? Hold that thought as you consider the following examples.
On August 18, the Guardian ran a commentary by the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek which argued that Israel was attempting to eradicate Palestinians from the West Bank. In a clearly calculated attempt to Nazify the Jewish state, the writer used, and the Guardian editorial team allowed, the word "Palestinian-frei" — a blatant inversion of the Nazi term Judenfrei.
In the same week, Sweden's top-selling newspaper, Aftonbladet, ran a two-page spread in its "culture" section alleging that soldiers of the Israeli Defence Forces routinely kill Palestinian children and harvest their bodily organs for sale on the black market. The allegations were juxtaposed with reports of an American Jew who had been arrested on charges of trafficking a human kidney.
Later in August, Virgin boss Richard Branson visited Israel and chided his hosts in the following manner: "After the Second World War," he said, "the world had enormous sympathy for the Jewish people. Over a number of decades, that sympathy has been lost." Last week in Spain, the newspaper El Mundo hosted Holocaust-denier David Irving as part of a series of interviews with "experts" on the Second World War.
Again, how and at what point do isolated events start to form a pattern? Four egregious instances in as many weeks may not make the grade for some. So, in my recently published book, A State Beyond the Pale: Europe's problem with Israel, I have included dozens of such examples from the past 10 years to prove a point that I do not believe can now sensibly be denied. Vigorous and unremitting hostility to Israel has become part of mainstream discourse right across western Europe. Israel has become a pariah. Why?
Antisemitism is part of it, to be sure. But the deepest and most convincing explanation of what is going on centres on the nature of contemporary Europe itself: its civilisational weaknesses and pathologies; its post-imperial, post-Holocaust guilt complexes; its inability to see totalitarian ideologies for what they are; its propensity towards pacifism and appeasement; its relativism; its lack of self-belief.
Project such values and characteristics onto a discussion of Israel's predicament, redouble the intensity with a legacy of antisemitism stretching back centuries, and you get a pretty good understanding of what this dispute is really about.
As for the human rights argument, it is simply not credible and adds the sin of hypocrisy to the larger charge sheet. Hostility to Israel cannot conceivably be part of a broader concern for human rights since the violations of so many other countries are routinely ignored.
Nor have opinion formers in Europe taken against the Jewish state due to a simple misunderstanding here or a gap in the historical knowledge there. Stories about Jews engaged in trans-continental conspiracies to sell human organs or comparisons with Nazi Germany have not entered the mainstream because someone has made an honest mistake. It is happening because the culture and values of modern Europe make it possible to happen. And it is here precisely, I'm afraid, that one begins to understand how and at what point, isolated events start to form a pattern.

Reviews for California State Parks Foundation
1 person found this review helpful
CALIFORNIA STATE PARK FOUNDATION (CSPF) has been invaluable in supporting not only our own nonprofit, MENDOCINO AREA PARKS ASSOCIATION (MAPA), but nonprofits and state parks in the entire state of California. CSPF has made possible the carrying out of our mission in our local state parks, which is providing education programs, park improvement projects (that would not happen without nonprofits and CSPF), and even the operation of the previously closed Standish-Hickey State Recreation that is now open for public camping and recreation. CSPF has been crucial for all of this.
CSPF has fought for years to keep all of our state parks open, and with amazing success. I can't imagine where our parks and our state would be without their efforts; because all is connected, their influence has reached beyond parks to millions of visitors and thousands of business that are dependent on those park visitors, which then benefits our state and everyone who lives and visits here. Our praise and gratitude can never fully express the true value of their contribution. CSPF is the GREATEST! THANK YOU, CSPF!

The Salton Sea Discovery Kids Camp where kids learn science in a fun and exciting way, would not be possible without the caring and generosity of the California State Parks Foundation. They have been the life blood not only for the Kids Camp, but for the Kids very own Discovery Kids Group Camp Site as well. The Friends of the Salton Sea State Recreation Area, the non-profit Association for the Salton Sea State Recreation Area, cannot thank the California State Parks Foundation enough!

The California State Parks Foundation has provided invaluable support to the State Park cooperating associations in moving forward to help the parks stay alive and thrive. This support has come in the form of grants as well as technical assistance directly related to our work. It is important to note that CSPF has provided a funding lifeline to those of us who stepped up to operate parks on the closure list two years ago. Underscored by staff members of the highest caliber, the special quality and level of partnership that CSPF brings to the table is outstanding, with tangible evidence of its positive impacts on State Parks manifest throughout the system.

I'm from Germany and the best reason to visit California is: the State Parks!
California State Parks Foundation is indispensable!
CSPF developed the fundraising program to restore the cottage at Jack London Park, an award winning effort that is now the crown jewel in our park. Further, the mentoring and ongoing financial support for programs and projects help make the park a great success. The Foundation was absolutely FUNDAMENTAL to our early success in operating Jack London State Historic Park as a non-profit. We salute the staff and board for their great work during this challenging time!
I worked with CSPF for a couple of years, and the people there are passionate about what they do. CSPF is a superhero when it comes to staying on top of our park's needs and doing everything they possibly can to protect them. The organization is also run so fiscally responsibly, we can trust our membership dollars are being used exactly as they should be.

I used to live across the street from San Bruno Mountain. Everyday, I looked forward to hiking the trail around the mountain. This trail consisted of blackberries, views of San Francisco and beautiful fields of grass. What I enjoyed most about this experience was the ability to see the seasons change. Recreation is vital to a person's well-being. We need recreation and parks in our lives as much as we need sleep and food. This type of nourishment allows for mental/ physical well-being and growth. Without our state parks, California would lose its ability to make recreation available to the average person. We need our parks to live!

Posted on 05/25/2013 5:06:05 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
The Justice Department begged a federal judge to not tell Fox News reporter James Rosen that it was tracking his telephone calls and emails in a probe regarding a national security leak.
U.S. Attorney Ron Machen argued in 2010 that the traditional 30-day notice period did not apply to Rosen as Justice secretly monitored his Gmail account, according to new exhibits unsealed this week and disclosed by The Hill.
Where, as here, the government seeks such contents through a search warrant, no notice to the subscriber or customer of the e-mail account is statutorily required or necessary, Machen wrote in a June 2010 motion. Thus, this court's indication on the face of the warrant that delayed notice of 30 days to the customer and subscriber was permissible was unnecessary.
Machen, through another request granted by the court, stopped Google from telling Rosen that Justice was spying on his e-mail account, the Hill reports.
The prosecutor had demanded to see all of Rosens emails including deleted messages, emails in his trash folder and all attachments sent to and from him.
The original warrant in the Rosen case was signed personally by Attorney General Eric Holder, NBC News reported this week.
Meanwhile, Fox News President Roger Ailes on Thursday blasted Justice for targeting journalists as if they were criminals and said the government's seizure of reporters' emails and phone records would not stand "the test of law."
The administrations attempt to intimidate Fox News and its employees will not succeed and their excuses will stand neither the test of law, the test of decency, nor the test of time, Ailes said. We will not allow a climate of press intimidation, unseen since the McCarthy era, to frighten any of us away from the truth.

this is vintage o'bumming out
This has already caused a number of sources to dry up (as per Hannity). Mission accomplished for the Obama administration.
This was a standard brown shirt tactic. I never thought that lessons from my "Origins of World War Two" history class would have relevence in America today.
The "law of the day" is whatever the judges allow the fascist regime to get away with.
Anyone ever see the interview where a journo POINT-BLANK asks Nixon:
"How did a BUM like you ever get to be PRESIDENT...?"
In view of his comparably lesser crimes WHY have we not yet seen this from our presstitutes NOW? They should be shouting at the tops of their lungs.
Roughly the same question:
Why do they call it the FIFTH ESTATE?
Cuz the media absolutely IS a pillar of the whole (now) rotten system, and they're totally unelected.
We'll get fair treatment when we have our OWN parallel media, I think.
If they did this to AP and FOX, how many others individuals and networks are still being investigated and hidden?
Are they reading our freepmail ?
isnt fr parallel media or are we crosswise
What is the judges name that agreed to this? How many other subpoenas has he granted to this administration?
Under the warrant the DOJ was able to seize phone records for FOX News' Capitol Hill bureau. With this data they could trace the numbers to federal employees acting as confidential sources for FOX. This could open another can of worms if these government workers were retaliated against by the administration.
filth estate???
To put this in the right prospective....two city council 'thugs' have been prosecuted in DC. Mayor Gray has never been prosecuted, and it's unlikely at this point that they care to touch him. They've taken down the 'excess trees' and given some opportunity for new players to move in and play DC politics.
Most people expect Mayor Gray to quietly move on and not run for another term. Maybe that's the deal that the prosecutors are offering....just move on. Let the new guys walk in and take charge.
I am convinced they were trying to find out who Glenn Beck had on the inside of the White House, Rosen was the distraction. This was when Glenn was going after Van Jones. He used to say "we know because we have people in the White House."
Just a theory .
I do believe possible and in time probable all communications can and will be monitored. Why do you think everything about life now goes thru the computer....worldwide.
I am still holding on to getting my paycheck directly from my employer...Not Direct deposit. It's psychological as the one thing I can still control to some extent...I get to say when I get it and when I deposit it.
Machen looks like he would like to meet either Bubba the Boatswains Mate or my last First Sergeant and I would be happy to introduce him to either... (next time you see him that fuzz on his face WILL BE GONE)
It just appears that he has forgotten who he works for and a reminder might be a good thing for all parties involved.
"You have been found guilty. Your trial begins tomorrow."
If that's how he describes it, I'll just take a wild-ass guess that his degree wasn't in English.
I suspect that the DOJ is now reading the judge's e-mail.
Excellent inference, thank you.
Justice Department Investigated NY Times Reporter Over Stuxnet Story
Saturday, May 25, 2013 09:41 PM
By: Todd Beamon
The Department of Justice investigated alleged national security leaks to a reporter for The New York Times over his story last year about the Stuxnet virus that was used to attack Irans infrastructure.
But, unlike the investigations involving Fox News journalist James Rosen and the Associated Press, DOJ examined email and telephone records of government officials who communicated with the Times reporter David Sanger, the publication reported on Saturday.
FBI agents asked the White House, the Defense Department and intelligence agencies for phone and email logs showing exchanges with a New York Times reporter writing about computer attacks on Iran, the newspaper said. Agents grilled officials about their contacts with him.
Meanwhile, Fox News apparently knew nearly three years ago that the Justice Department had sought the telephone records of Rosen in a leak investigation, CNN reported on Saturday.
A law enforcement source told CNN that Justice notified a media organization almost three years ago of a subpoena for detailed telephone records, and another told the news agency that the organization was Fox.
Read at:
That doesn't sound legal at all.
Certainly not constitutional.
I agree.
This government acts like a third world fascist dictatorship from top to bottom.
Rosens emails were seized, with a judges approval, as part of the prosecution of Kim. In addition to a delay unsealing the documents for warrants, there was also a delay unsealing chief judge of the U.S. District Court in Washington Royce Lamberths 2010 order that the government wasnt required to notify Rosen that his emails had been the subject of a warrant. Although that order was posted on the courts website, it was not available on the public docket until now.
Lamberth apologized for these delays Wednesday this week saying a series of administrative errors by the courts staff caused them.
The documents reveal that two judges had said the Justice Department was required to notify Rosen of the warrants, the New Yorker reported. But U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen, Jr., requested in 2010 that the court exercise its power to keep sealed the warrants and related documents in this case as there exists an extraordinary situation and compelling government interest, which justify such a sealing.
Machen also requested the court order Google not to notify Rosen of the warrant either.
Lambert overturned the two judges who declared the Rosen was to be notified of the warrants, granting Machens request that the documents remain sealed.
Gee, yah think? Of course, they are.
-——Are they reading our freepmail ?-——
Not only is our government looking at our freepmail....and postings.... But you can bet dollars to donuts other governments like China, Russia are looking as well....
Probably. See my tag.
I'd like to see the D.C.Bar go after both Machen and Holder.
This goes directly to the Marxist.
U.S. Attorney Ron Machen argued in 2010 that the traditional 30-day notice period did not apply to Rosen as Justice secretly monitored his Gmail account, according to new exhibits unsealed this week and disclosed by The Hill.[news from the future] In later years, a biography of Obama entitled "It Takes a Prison" was published to much fanfare, becoming the first billion-download seller.
Thanks for the ping.
When was freepmail added? The answer is; for about that long.
The Cardassian Empire was one of the main opponents during the series. There was an episode when Chief O'Brien was arrested by the Cardassians on some trumped up weapon smuggling charges. He is informed that he is guilty of the crime and his court case will begin the next day to conform with that verdict.
Apparently this is standard procedure for the Cardassian courts. They give the verdict; then hold the trial, which is skewed to come up with that result.
Cool story - thanks for sharing. ( Oh, and I'm a 'Generations' fan...)
Some Leno jokes to lighten your day:
A lot of critics are now comparing President Obama to President Nixon. The good news for Obama? At least hes no longer being compared to President Carter.
This week marks the 40th anniversary of the Watergate hearings. For those of you too young to remember, back then the administration had an enemies list. They were spying on reporters, and they used the IRS to harass groups they didnt like. Thank God those days are gone forever.
A lot of critics are comparing President Obama to President Richard Nixon, which is unfair. Nixons unemployment rate was only 5 percent.

I love my new sink! I had space constraints and a desire for a good looking transitional/contemporary sink to replace an existing sink. This one very economically fit the bill. It shipped within a week and the handyman was able to install the sink and faucet within an hour.Read More

In the 4th quarter of 2011 IBM Tivoli released the IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Virtual Environments (ITMfVE) Agent for Citrix XenApp v71, a brand new, designed from ground-up, ITM-based monitoring solution for Citrix XenApp v6 and above servers.
We've installed this new agent in Blue Medora lab on a small XenApp v6 Test Farm, taken some screenshots, annotated them in Slide format, and you can view them in the gallery below. The new v71 agent provides a dramatic improvement over the previous ITM for Virtual Servers v61 agent.
Note: The XenApp v71 agent is not an upgrade / next rev of the previous Tivoli Citrix v61 agent, it is a completely new agent. The previous Citrix v61 agent provides monitoring coverage for Citrix Metaframe / Presentation Server / XenApp v3, v4, v4.5, and v5. It does not support XenApp v6+ or above and won't in the future. The new XenApp v71 agent should be used in XenApp v6 and v6.5 environments.

Despite being a notorious alcoholic and first-rate carouser and not being the world's greatest tenor sax player, Charles "Packy" Axton presents a compelling musical story on LATE LATE PARTY 1965-67. His mother, Estelle Axton, and uncle Jim Stewart were co-originators of the Stax label and Packy found himself consorting with such greats as Booker T Jones, Steve Cropper and Donald "Duck" Dunn from an early age. The 17 predominantly instrumental cuts on this solid compilation may not quite reach the heights of his esteemed peers, but they make for some uncomplicated good-time listening that slides down easily and will happily rattle the ice in your glass.
Although the title track has long been rated and oft-compiled as an obscure country soul classic, the full reissue of the HARLAN COUNTY album by Jim Ford is another welcome addition to the Light in the Attic canon. With an A-list band including Jim Keltner, James Burton and Dr John, Kentucky-born Ford shows why Sly Stone rated him "the baddest white man on the planet", in an exemplary set incorporating distinctive originals (the Stones-y Under Construction, Workin My Way to LA, etc) and worthwhile covers (Willie Dixon's Spoonful and Alex Harvey's To Make My Life Beautiful) to stunning effect.

Registration is now open for the Chess Online courses for Fall 2010. You can find course descriptions at The University of Texas at Dallas Chess Program Web site. Right now, I have two International Masters and 12 chess beginners registered. You may start when the semester begins (August 19) or at the second 8 weeks session (begins October 18). The courses are for students eligible to take college credit courses and interested in how the game of chess might help K-12 students reach educational goals. For more information, please email
Today I attended the Borders Book Store Chess Club in Lewisville, Texas. FIDE Master Keith Hayward has run the club every Thursday night for 14 years. It's a great place to play a casual game of chess and enjoy a treat from the Seattle's Best Coffee. I invited my MOSAIC chess course students to try out the chess club, and four of them showed up. More than half the Borders players are under 18 years old, so my MOSAIC students fit right in.
My fifth book The Living Chess Game: Fine Arts Activities for Kids 9-14 is now available for pre-order online. If you've been wondering how to stage a living chess game so that the human chessmen and the audience experience both fine arts and chess, this is the book for you!
Every summer since 2007 I have taught chess at the Coppell Gifted Association's MOSAIC (Marvelous Opportunities Scheduled as Individual Courses). This year, I taught June 7-11 and will teach again August 2-6. Courses are open to rising fourth through eighth graders. (Rising means that is the grade the student will be in this coming fall). For chess, younger students may also take the class if a parent signs up with them. From June 7-11, I had 10 students from 9-10:30 a.m. and 9 students (including a six-year-old and his parent) from 10:30 to noon. Student surveys at the end of the week indicated that the daily tournament game (where students played each other at the end of each session Monday-Thursday) and Simon Says (where I took students to the gym to follow commands such as "Simon Says move like a rook two squares towards me") were the favorite activities. In 2009, the camp director made me a living chess board. Having that board set up in the gym made Simon Says even more fun, but it's also possible to play the game without any props. Registration is still open for the August session.
I was one of the presenters at the ECISD (Ector County Independent School District) Math and Science Institute. I presented activities from my book Science, Math, Checkmate: 32 Chess Activities for Inquiry and Problem Solving. Since roughly half of participants over the two days of workshops did not have prior experience with playing chess, I chose activities that did not require previous chess knowledge. Through participating in the activities, educators learned how the chessmen moved, check, and checkmate. And they also understood how the chess activities met national standards in math and science.

I know this isn't not very important and only few can hear it since some audio don't even work on Trickster, but does anyone notice all the elemental shields sound like Shard of Glacier lol.
It's a bug I know.
You should probably send a 1:1 about it then.
Eventhough its probably just a bug, it improves the overall gameplay for everyone who plays with sound :py05:

Many people forget or don't realise that there are several types of sugar: Glucose or dextrose is by far the most important because it is what our body uses to produce energy but also lactose, sucrose, fructose, inverted sugar, etc. are all examples of sugars that are present in different types of food i.e. milk, fruit, granulated sugar, honey. Inverted Sugar is quite an interesting one and often found in many recipes here at Giapo ice cream in New Zealand. It is unlike a syrup which is just made from dissolving sugar into water and heating it – we use an inverted syrup. Sugars are made up of carbons, hydrogens and oxygen atoms – the different types of sugars are based on the different configurations of these atoms. Inversion in chemistry is the rearrangement of atoms to create different molecular configurations. An inverted syrup can be made by boiling equal parts of water and granulated sugar with a pinch of cream of tartar (acid catalyst) or lemon juice which results in an inverted syrup made up of equal parts of glucose and fructose.
Another example of this is when yeast cells are mixed in a dough (or beer), they begin their digestion process by releasing an activated enzyme called invertase. This breaks down sucrose into simpler components – glucose and fructose. This reaction is called hydrolysis (breaking of bonds and addition of water) and is used to split up a complex molecule into its simple constituents.
Invert syrups are favourable in food processes in these ways:
- hygroscopic properties: absorbs moisture from the atmosphere so longer shelf life.
- sweeter than sucrose syrups: use less for the same amount of sweetness because 50% is fructose.
- easier to dissolve: preferable in cooking.
As mentioned before, there are two ways in which you can make an invert syrup – addition of an enzyme or addition of an acid. If preparing using an enzyme, heating plays an important part – it is required to dissolve the sucrose into the water and facilitate the process, however, if it is above 70 degrees Celsius it can denature the enzymes and also dissolve the water. If this happens you are less likely to get an equal amount of the final products: glucose and fructose. Loss of water in the invert syrup can also lead to crystallisation which defeats the purpose of creating a syrup in the first place.
Addition of acid (or acid hydrolysis) is the alternative and more accessible in the everyday kitchen. Using cream of tartar or lemon juice is adding a catalyst (this is an ingredient which speeds up the reaction but does not become part of the finished product) as it speeds up the conversion process. Acidic environments in general speed up the conversion as yeast cells also produce acid in the fermentation process, resulting in lowering of the pH levels or increasing acidity for a faster chemical reaction.
In the conversion of sugar and water to an invert syrup, the sucrose molecule divides into the glucose segments which acquire the oxygen (O) that connected the two halves and the H+ (hydron) ion of the water (H2O) molecule; the fructose segment gets the OH- (hydroxide) ion. The reaction looks like this: C12H22O11 (sucrose) + H2O (water) in the presence of an acid = C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose) or invert syrup.
If you were to count the amount of carbon (C), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H) atoms on equation, you will see that they are exactly the same amount from the start of the reaction to the end. All the atoms present in the sucrose molecule are now the new glucose and fructose molecules. The 'absorption' of the water molecule is why the invert syrup remains in syrup form, instead of settling out or crystallising as a simple sugar/water mixture because there is not water to evaporate off. As a result, the total solids in the newly created invert syrup are about 5% higher than the total solids of the sugar/water mixture you started with! The reaction increases the number of H+ and OH- sites from 13 on the sucrose molecule to 18 on the glucose and fructose molecules. These sites attract the H+ and OH- ions of water present in the atmosphere and since there are more sites in the invert syrup than in the original sucrose there is an increase in hygroscopic properties. The respective positive H+ions and negative OH- ions in water are attracted to the negative OH- and positive H+ sites on the sugar molecules.
In addition to increased moisture retention ability, converting sucrose to invert syrup has two other interesting results: increased sweetness and better solubility. On a sweetness scale where sucrose is set at 100, invert syrup ranks about 130. Therefore using an invert syrup in formulas can allow you to cut back on the total amount of sugar used and still maintain the same sweetness in the finished product!

CharleneHeritage Wood Mantel
I just want to tell you thanks for all the time and effort you put in with me to design this mantel. I ended up cutting the breast and shelf back an inch so the bottom of the breast sat flush with the top of the scrolled legs. This is truly a bold and elegant piece and all the rest of details we discussed were incorporated with precision! You guys are awesome!! Great product, great service, I'm so overwhelmed with the outcome.

PegeneSheridan Custom Wood Mantel in Red Oak Unfinished
I don't know if Mantels Direct uses testimonials in their advertising, but I would like to share my experience with this company. We received our custom sized mantel yesterday. I was amazed at how professional the piece was built. We immediately painted the primed mantel piece. We installed the mantel (custom sized for a doorway opening).
I can't begin to tell you how pleased we are with the end result of our purchase from Mantels Direct. Every step from the initial order to the tracking to the delivery was a pleasurable experience. All I have to say is, keep up the good work and I am sure your company will be around for a long time as a result.
Thank You,
Hi there, I just wanted to send you a pic of our mantel. We are really happy with it. Thank you again.
Hi Lori,
I wanted to thank you and your staff for the superb job all of you did to create that fantastic mantel and surround.

Sherri Fuller

|Thank you for the quick response. With the holidays coming I was finding it tough to convince the wife it needed to stay in the family room. I must say, you and your sales group have been fantastic in the order and issue resolution process. It's not very often you find a company (or people) so willing to make things right, especially over the internet. I will certainly do my part to spread the word about your company and the great people working there.
Joe Cugini
|We received the mantel two days ago. It is beautiful and fits our fireplace perfectly. I like the wood that was chosen with the knots and texture. The finish is excellent and matches our other furniture. I installed the mantel yesterday. It went very well and it looks fantastic!
Alain Briot
Custom Jackson Mantel
|Just wanted to say that we are COMPLETELY satisfied with our purchase at MantelsDirect. Our shipment arrived on a Thursday and the following Saturday we installed it. The instructions were great, the construction "dead-on", and the ease of installation a breeze. We were so very thrilled at the finished product, which now looks like it was built at the same time the house was. It totally transformed our somewhat-less-than-desirable fireplace into the focal point of our room. The "return" worked perfectly for our raised hearth and the corresponding lip. Thank you for such a good remedy for our "problem" area! We will share your site with all who view our newly installed mantel.
Very Satisfied Customers,
Carol & Juan Cajigas
Custom Blue Ridge Mantel
|Just thought I would drop you a note to say thank you. The mantel arrived in great condition and installing it was really easy following the instructions. However i was off slightly due to existing slant of fireplace wall and had to use some other boards for the side cover boards. Used a grooved decorative board which fit well with the style we ordered.
I would definitely recommend your product and service to anyone. We have had several guests and friends drop over and they were amazed that we did this ourselves. I did explain we used your service. Great big THANKS!
Chuck Thorne
Allegheny Custom Mantel
|I just wanted to send you this to let you know how satisfied I was with your product. Everything was fantastic!! Superb craftmanship, excellent price, professional communication, and even early delivery. I just got around to mounting the mantel shelf this weekend and it fits perfect!! It's rare these days to find a company that goes beyond all expectations. Hope to do business again!!

|Just a note to thank you and Mantels Direct for your help and patience in the manufacturing of my mantel. The project was completed shortly before Easter, and I must say that I am thoroughly thrilled how your mantel made the 20-year wait to complete the fireplace worthwhile. It is an immediate eye-catcher to everyone entering the front door, and the complements are nonstop. It had its first firing Easter evening. I have recommended you and your company to everyone who has seen it and to those who haven't yet seen it but knew of the project, including a number of area contractors.
I have attached before and after photos of the fireplace. I was still moving furniture around at the times they were taken. Still, the new look gives the room a commanding and majestic look that I had never imagined possible. Wishing you continued success,

|I wasn't going to send pictures because I haven't finished the baseboard molding and need sleeker doors on the fireplace but we love the mantel and I'm kind of proud of all the work I did. I appreciate all of your service and hope you like the before and after shots. Hope you are having a great holiday!

|I know it's been awhile, but my husband and son-in-law put up the mantel and I painted it which took some time. Then I wanted to decorate for the holidays. As you see the mantel looks absolutely beautiful! It has become the focal point of our living room and everyone who has seen it thinks it turned out just fantastic! I have to agree. I'm so-o-o pleased with the finished product! It's just what I had in mind. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! for all your patience and professionalism in making this idea a reality. Express my thanks to your fabrication department. I hope that I can recommend your company to someone in the future. YOU WERE JUST GREAT!

|I would like to thank the person that constructed the mantle that we recently purchased from you. In this day and age when too many people do not take pride in their work. It is a pleasure to have something delivered to your home that shows there is a company out there that has real professionals working for them. The mantle was worth every penny I spent on it. Again thank you and please relay my appreciation to the person that built it.

|Hello all,
I would like to thank the entire staff at Mantels Direct for their professional, fast and courteous service. I received my Classic Custom last week and was truly amazed with the quality of the product and would like to personally thank Mr. Montgomery for assembling my mantel and who's signature was proudly inscribed on the back side. I wasn't sure about ordering a product such as a mantle via a web company however Mantels Direct deserves many kudos for a fine product...
Thanks again.

Classic Custom Mantel
|Hi there!
I just wanted to write and say we got our mantel yesterday and it's absolutely beautiful. To be quite frank, we weren't expecting much for $200. All we ordered was a paint quality poplar mantel, nothing fancy, replacing the crappy old tract home 6x6 square eyesore. We got way more than we thought we would. It is truly a well thought out, well crafted addition to our home, made with pride by D. Gargis (Thank you D. Gargis, wherever you are). Seems a shame to paint it.
Anyway, thought you guys might want to hear that you're doing something right. And when we move into our next home (the one where we go all out), we'll find you again.

|I received my mantel that was custom made for me and it is perfect! The mantel was installed easily and is a beautiful addition to my home. It was a pleasure dealing with Mantels Direct and I want to thank everyone for their friendliness and professionalism.
Gretchen B. Dorsey
Hampton Custom Mantel
We're so impressed with the result - the rock on the old fireplace was dark and ugly, and the total image was dull and drab. Compare that to our "new" Mantels Direct Shasta model - we love it. Roberta is going to do a mural of Mount Shasta on the breast which will complete the "new" image. Being a part time contractor and home remodeler I appreciate the excellent quality of material. We ordered the unpainted poplar - the condition of all surfaces was smooth and true. The assembly was a snap, 2 hours from opening the box to attaching the mantel to the wall. Please give the craftsman who custom built our mantel a "high-five" from us.
We love our new mantel. Thanks for your help!
|I just wanted to let you know that I received this mantle and I was even on hand to witness it unloaded from the truck. It is an absolute perfect fit and look for my home... It already has one of several coats of paint on it and will in all likelihood be installed in about a week.
Once again hats off to everyone who helped with making this happen and a special thanks to you for making this so painless!!!

have returned to your company. Thanks again for making a product

Just wanted to email
you to say THANKS for a great product! We went through a BIG
renovation last year, and toward the end of the project, I still
needed to decide on a new mantel. We were short on time, and
my builder needed to wrap things up, so after surfing the internet
I found your website, and a mantel that I thought was just perfect
for my family room. We decided to order it instead of having
him build one from scratch.
I ordered a custom sized Monarch mantel from you, with a black granite insert. I was so nervous! When it arrived my master carpenter took one look and said the materials and work were high-quality, and he couldn't believe how easy it was to install. We are thrilled with the result, and it looks like it was always there! I'm attaching photos of the finished product. Thanks again for helping me complete my project and keep my sanity!

|The quality of the
Montrose Electric Fireplace is like it was built in the early 1900s;
Solid as a rock and built to last forever. It is a work of art that
is very hard to find nowadays. What a piece of furniture, wow! The
mantel is made of all good grade hardwood and is easy to assemble.
When it's only using a few watts and emitting no heat, it looks like
it's going full bore. Can't wait for tonight to try it with heat;
it's going to be awesome.

|Dear Customer Service,
Since we are not in the habit of ordering anything over the phone and especially 'sight unseen', we were understandably anxious about how the mantel would look like and be constructed. I can't tell you how pleased we are. It is just exactly what we wanted and it looks beautiful. The finish is great and will match perfectly with our other woods. Thank you so very much.

|Dear Rich, Laura & Sarah,
I am forwarding pictures of my new mantel that your company made for me. Great job!!! There is one picture of before we started. We had to move the fire place 5" to the left to center it on the wall. I built the hearth so we could sit in front of the fire place. Again a great job. Thank You!

|Just to let you know, I have completed the installation of the Glacier traditional wood mantel and am enclosing a photo of the fireplace and mantel. We are very happy with the product and it was a pleasure to do business with your company. The installation of the mantel was a routine process, the ordering process was straightforward and the transportation and delivery went smoothly.
Also, the $40 credit appeared on my credit card account within 2 days of the submittal.

|We received our mantel yesterday and fit it last night. It will be mounted this weekend and I want to thank all of you for a wonderful job. Although it was custom made, the fit is perfect with only about ½" on each end in the "pocket" that was created to cover the top of our cast iron enclosure. I will recommend you to anyone and everyone asking. The finish is beautiful and little did we realize the impact it would make on the living room. Thanks for a wonderful finished product.

|Hello, we received our mantel on Friday, December 23rd and were lucky enough to have a friend available to install it for us. WE LOVE IT!!! We had a Christmas eve party and everyone commented on how beautiful it is! It has really transformed the room. What a great Christmas gift! We were concerned that our measurements may not have been accurate and that it might not fit properly, but with some very minor adjustments it fits
"like a glove"! Thanks so much for your great service. We would definitely recommend your company to others.

Just wanted to send you pictures of the great mantel we bought from you. We love it.

We were a little hesitant about ordering a large piece like this over the internet, but WOW are we ever glad we did. We are sure that we saved money, especially since you didn't charge for shipping, and the quality and workmanship are both excellent. It looks great! Thanks again.

|We've been meaning to write back, but have been rather busy with -- among other things -- installing our new mantel. We'd like to thank you and the fine craftsmen who fashioned it for us. It's a beautiful piece of work, a wonderful addition to our new home, of which you (and we) can be justly proud. Furthermore, the custom size specifications were spot on. Having spent some years as a yacht carpenter and cabinet maker myself, I'm rather particular about these things. And, obviously, so are you. It looks great over the fireplace; and we just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your company's fine craftsmanship, fair business dealings, and helpful attitude. All three things are rare enough these days that they ought to be acknowledged. Thank you for a fine product.

|Just wanted to take a minute and thank you so much for all your help. The mantel is just beautiful and the installer said it was one of the best quality mantels he had ever seen. It fit like a glove and makes our home look just wonderful. The quality far exceeded our expectations. Thanks again, and we would be pleased to provide a recommendation for your products and service.
Eileen and Brian
|Here is the finished product. All in all I am quite pleased with how it came out. I was really impressed by how genuine the mantel felt while working with the material. For quality you guys get an A+! This project was about a difficulty of 2 out of 4. BTW, I am just a typical homeowner with some fairly handy skills, I am in no way a contractor or professional installer.
|We are finished tiling and installing our mantel and wanted to share the final product with you. Thank you so much for all your help and effort with this. It'll be great to hang our stockings on it this Christmas.
|The mantel arrived and it is beautiful! I am astounded at the level of workmanship and detail you put into your product. Thanks again.
|Here are a couple of pictures of our fireplace, before installation and after. We ordered our mantel from you back in July of this year.
|Here is a picture of the finished product. We love our new mantel. Thanks!

|Hi! Just a note to recommend a GREAT PLACE to get a replacement mantel shelf for your fireplace! Ours was plain and bare, so we priced them at Home Depot - they wanted over $400 for a custom mantel shelf!
So, I found mantelsdirect.com on the internet. The website was easy to use, the pictures were great and the prices were fantastic!! Free shipping and NO Sales Tax! Our mantle came this week and it looks great! (see picture). Mantlesdirect.com also has full mantels as well as mantel shelves!
If you need a new mantle or just want to replace the cheap ones that home builders sometimes put in, I encourage you to visit Mantelsdirect.com!

America elected a black man as president on Tuesday.
Rivaled only by "Man Lands on the Moon," the underlying news in the sentence above is among the most monumental in this nation's history.
Yes, Barack Obama is human and a politician, two traits that ensure he will fail on some thing or things at some point in the next four years.
But after eight years of the most abject leadership in the country's history, and on top of our centuries-old legacy of racial prejudice, Obama's victory Tuesday is astounding.
His win blended his abilities to inspire and to tap voters' hunger for change with a huge cash advantage over John McCain and the electorate's aversion to anything Republican. The results of that combination became evident as polls closed in East Coast and Midwest states.
The first signs Obama might be en route to a historic victory came from results in Pennsylvania. McCain had hoped to capture that state's 21 electoral votes, but those hopes died when television networks called the state for Obama minutes after the polls closed.
Shortly after, network projections gave the always hotly contested state of Ohio—where Democrat John Kerry fell short in 2004—and its 20 electoral votes to Obama. That made a win virtually impossible for McCain.
"I think it's mathematically done," said Libertarian-turned-Republican Tom Cox at a moribund GOP get-together at the Benson. "It's over."
And by the time Obama won Oregon's seven electoral votes, along with California's 55 and Washington's 11 at 8 pm, the deal was done.
"I think it was Oregon that put Barack Obama over the top," U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) told thousands of giddy Democrats gathered at the Oregon Convention Center after CNN projected Obama as the next president. "We want you to savor this moment."
Of course, the presidential race wasn't all that was on the ballot.
In one of the nation's most closely watched Senate races, the first returns after 8 pm showed U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Ore.) trailing Democrat Jeff Merkley.
The speaker of the Oregon House, Merkley was aiming to be the first challenger to beat an incumbent Oregon senator since Republican Bob Packwood unseated Democrat Wayne Morse in 1968.
At press time, initial results also showed Democrats winning the three statewide offices on the ballot.
Democrat John Kroger, a Lewis & Clark law professor and political newcomer, defeated three third-party opponents for attorney general.
Democrat Kate Brown, a longtime state senator from Portland, led Republican Rick Dancer—a former Eugene TV journalist—for secretary of state. And Democrat Ben Westlund, an ex-bull-semen salesman from Central Oregon turned state senator, led Republican Allen Alley, a first-time candidate who was CEO of Pixelworks, for state treasurer.
Oregon voters also had to decide on a dozen measures dealing with crime, schools, taxes and the election rules themselves.
The first returns showed Bill Sizemore losing all five of his initiatives, a collection of proposals that generated intense opposition including millions from Defend Oregon, a coalition that formed to fight this year's round of measures from Sizemore. Among them:
Measure 58, which would limit native-language instruction for public school children who don't speak English.
Measure 59, Sizemore's latest version of a previously defeated measure to provide Oregonians with a total deduction of their federal taxes on their state taxes.
Measure 60, which would ban the use of seniority to determine pay raises and layoffs, if needed, for public school teachers.
Measure 63, which would waive the need for permits on property improvements totaling less than $35,000.
Measure 64, Sizemore's most recent iteration of his twice-defeated proposal to cripple public employee unions' ability to deduct union dues from paychecks.
Meanwhile, preliminary returns at 8:30 pm showed Kevin Mannix's Measure 61, which would sentence first-time offenders to mandatory minimums, losing. And legislatively referred Measure 57, an alternative to Measure 61 that targets repeat offenders and also mandates addiction treatment for felons, was winning in those first returns
Another hotly contested initiative, Measure 65, which would abolish party primaries and put all candidates in Oregon partisan races together, was losing.
In the one race for a seat on the Portland City Council, Amanda Fritz beat Charles Lewis in her bid to be the first woman on the five-person Council since Vera Katz retired as mayor four years ago.
In the contests for two seats on the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners, early returns had Mike Delman trailing Judy Shiprack, whose campaign was dogged by WW's report of her delinquency in payment of $1.8 million on a project with the Portland Development Commission (see "Shipracked" WW, Sept. 17, 2008); and in east county, Carla Piluso narrowly leading Diane McKeel.
