Серёжа, Sergey
1. That there are no peer reviewed studies that show "local honey" (unheated, unfiltered) helps with allergies.
2. That there are no peer reviewed studies (or even reasonable anecdotal observations) that compares "local" unheated, unfiltered honey with "exotic" unheated unfiltered honey wrt allergy issues.
3. Claims that local honey helps with allergies are almost always accompanied by the claim that it is "the local pollens in the honey" that helps with allergies....yet, there is no attention on what pollens are actually in the honey. Does wind born pollen end up in honey in appreciable enough concentrations to have an effect? How does honey that is harvested in the spring help with fall allergies?
I can cite a book if you like that claims that any pollen in the honey is helpful for pollen allergies...regardless of the source. It isn't peer reviewed, it isn't even science....it is a book on pollen for health.
What you should also understand:
1. That Ramona and I make our living selling honey. Raw honey from hives that are not treated, that is not filtered (ultra or otherwise).
2. We pay our producers a premium for their honey.
3. That we got into the honey business specifically because we saw what we consider an outstanding product from a pristine environment get sold to large packers for commodity prices...to be turned into commodity honey. It broke our hearts, and we saw that there was an opportunity.
I don't believe for a second that there are many (if any) commercial beekeepers that would prefer to eat their own honey _after_ it has been packed by a large packer rather than straight out of the extractor or settling tank (Jim, Ian, what do you have on your own table in your own home?)
We have customers that buy our Arizona honey and claim it helps their allergies here in Massachusetts.
We never sell honey as an allergy relief. Obviously, we often get people at our table who want to talk about allergies....if I feel like they are open, I have a discussion with them about it...citing the wind pollinated plants they are allergic to and the seasonal variations...that the thesis that "local" honey helps allergies because of the specific local pollen in the honey has a lot of holes in it. Sometimes I get a sense they don't want to hear it, and I tell them I don't have the local honey (produced within 5-50 miles depending on the person making the claim), and send them off to buy something with a local tag on it (even if the honey is not local).
We get all kinds of people looking for honey to cure specific things..sometimes "woman problems"...I had one guy a few years ago (not sure where he was from...somewhere in South America I think) that was looking for honey to help with "sperm" (he was not more specific, thankfully). His wife was going to make him have some kind of surgery if he couldn't cure the problem with honey.
We say what we always say...that we make no medical claims about our honey or any honey, but if raw unfiltered honey is what they are looking for, that's what we have. When asked which of the honeys is "best" for a specific problem, we try to get them to select on the taste they prefer...but some insist on a recommendation....I usually point out the one with the lowest moisture content has the most "other" things in it besides water.
If I am mistaken or misinformed on any of this, please correct me.
With all of that said, the "industry" doesn't seem motivated to push what I consider "higher quality" (less heat, less filtration), and there are legitimate marketing reasons to remove the pollen (to keep it from crystallizing on the shelf). Should I spend my energy telling everyone else what to do when they are making more money _not_ doing what I think they should do? Clearly their goals and mine are not the same...I don't see a problem with that...I see opportunity.

COPY of my POST:
I cannot accept your comments, especially with your previous statements: "I do not know how much of a problem filtered honey is, Im not completely familiar with packer practices.
But, what I do know is how my packer operates, to which Im a part of. Kinda makes me feel all good and fuzzy inside,
www.beemaid.com" (your Post #96).
I know about www.beemaid.com" very well. I tried BeeMaid "honey" from my local Shop Rite Superstore, therefore I cannot call it HONEY.
Please do not misinform forum's members.
In my post I said: "I know about www.beemaid.com" very well. I tried BeeMaid "honey" from my local Shop Rite Superstore, therefore I cannot call it HONEY."
Once again - it's not ethical to call/label forever liquid substance as HONEY!
And please remember the title of the original article: "Tests Show Most Store Honey Isn't Honey"
Ian and Mark - could you show us please some real proofs that you are more knowledgeable with this issue , than Bryant, who is director of the Palynology Research Laboratory.

Cmon Jim. Oftentimes the customer is not getting what they thought they were getting. Heating, filtering, feeding, treating aside....much of what is sold as "local" honey (at least around here) is not local, not produced by the beekeeper that claims to have produced it. This "buying in honey as your own" practice seems to be baseline, and no one (selling honey) seems to object. Heck, even the NHB did their own market research in 2009:We don't appreciate uninformed and slanted articles such as this implying that the consumer is being given something other than what they thought they were getting.
"One-quarter of the total number of respondents do not know that pure honey has no other ingredients. Those that believe there are ingredients added to honey expect to find various syrups, sugars and/or preservatives on the ingredient listing."
...so what is it you think people think they are getting when they buy honey?
....if you really wish this, I'm not sure what you are objecting to. If unprocessed raw honey has qualities that your honey (once it leaves the packing facility) does not have, why would you object to having that pointed out.I wish everyone could be informed about the quality of unprocessed raw honey, it sure would make things easier for everyone in this industry. Unfortunately they aren't.
There is nothing that prevents you, a family member, an enterprising young kid, a mother or father with a background in marketing who wants to work on their own time from coming up with a marketing plan that matches with your wishes. I'm not criticizing you for not doing so...we all have to decide where our resources are best spent...but it is not impossible nor prohibited. It's your darn honey until you sell it....you can do with it as you please.

Dean: for the record, I eat honey every day and, no, it has not been filtered. We pack only 3 to 4 thousand pounds a year for local customers and landowners. We heat it to about 120 degrees while constantly stirring for a few hours to make sure it's fully liquified and dosent scald. After it has been thoroughly warmed we allow it to cool for a few hours to a good bottling temp to clarify and skim off any "settings". It usually stays liquid for about a year depending on the primary floral source that year and, yeah, it's gonna have a few "floaties" in there. We pass it out with the usual advice about gently rewarming it if it granulates and we still get a few comments about the "spoiled" honey in the basement. The very best honey, no doubt, is fresh out of the tank on the day it's extracted and yes a few savvy honey buyers come walking into our extracting room mid summer with jar in hand. The only education those folks need is to watch out for bees and forklifts.

>>Jim, Ian, what do you have on your own table in your own home?)<<
My packer sends through a run of my product to which I provide for sale, and own use.
Dean: I can't disagree with too much you are saying here, but until a savvy honey marketer approaches me with an offer and a plan to sell it as an upscale value added product then nothing really changes does it. The only place large quantities of bottling honey are sold are in the Wal Marts and large supermarkets and those buyers look at revenue per foot of shelf space. They care about liability and they care about moving product. Try talking enzymes and pollen content and watch their eyes glaze over. Who would you sell to if you were me? The buyer offering $2.00 a pound with a good track record of paying on time or waiting around for the $2.50 or $3.00 dream?

Boris, your missing a real treat ! They sell a very high quality product sold around the world. We take alot of pride in the product we produce. BeeMaid is one of the few North American packers who can link the honey on the self right back to the hive it came from.
My initial objection to filtration was of the Chinese honey filtered to remove antibiotics and other adulterating products. That kink of filtration requires heating, watering down and sending the product through a very fine filter. That is not common practice, you know that right? It is so sad to see honey treated in that manner sold beside honey presented to the public in a respectable manner.
If the public had a choice between "Ultra filtered Honey" or "Our Processed Honey" or "Raw honey" to where as the discription of its handling was present on the label,
the public would choose our processed and Raw honey everytime. No doubt about it. The battle between our processed honey and raw honey would be the same battle as we are having now,
and my I add, I do not see how we could provide the public with the hundreds of millions of lbs of raw honey on the self. There is a reason why we handle our honey in such a fashion, and I would argue the standards our packer follows are bettered my none

At some point, one has to accept that not everything is the same as everything else, and to accept that a "great" or even "the best" product does not suit everyone's needs.

Thats for sure, and hold towards my hard grained belief that the consumer will decide what is sold to them
But, my appreciation falls a bit short when someone like Boris will slag the product I spend my pride on producing
I cannot accept your statements, especially this one: "...BeeMaid is one of the few North American packers who can link the honey on the self right back to the hive it came from."
The BeeMaid final product, that I bought from Shop Rite was
sweet, processed (therefore probably forever liquid) substance.
It's is clear to me, that you did not manipulate on a final product, but it's not HONEY any more.

So...the same processing....some think it adds value, some think it subtracts value.
Might as well argue PC vs Mac or vanilla vs. chocolate.
To say that unprocessed honey is "better" than processed honey is nothing more than an opinion.
To say that unprocessed honey is "different" than processed honey is a fact.
If you want to claim that these differences are important, then lets start citing some facts. How much pollen is removed from a pound of honey? How much remains? What effect does that pollen have? Would the filtered out pollen, if eaten, help with allergies? What if the pollen was not local? What if the pollen were out of season? What are the quantifiable effects of raw local honey on allergies (not some Russian folklore please....lets look at some actual data)? What are the quantifiable effects of raw exotic honey on allergies? What are the quantifiable effects of inverted sugar syrup on allergies? What are the quantifiable effects of processed honey on allergies?
Although we may not have the answers to all of these questions, the questions themselves seem rather obvious.
But Boris's own posts makes it seem like crystallization is what makes honey honey.....no Tupelo or buckwheat for Boris!...even if it is raw, pure, and unfiltered!

Wait. That sounds wrong.
Oh MAN! Now every time I see meandering on a quilt, guess what I will be looking for! Arggggghhhhh!
Peckish aka Peggi
I have thought the very same thing! I even try changing the directions and lines!
If it had only been a "random" hidden one or two, I would have them it alone, but it seemed like they were everywhere and I couldn't see anything else, once my DD pointed it out. Really glad to see I'm not alone....and you're right no matter how you say it, it sounds wrong! It has made me laugh though....
You made me laugh today. I guess it is kind of like looking at clouds. Different people see different things.
I have a friend that makes at least one of those on purpose and hides it somewhere inside her quillting as a signature. You have to really look for it, but believe me, she has one there. So, some people do it on purpose. Don't feel bad. My meandering isn't perfect but you've got to keep trying. Don't give up!! Get back on the horse.

Regarding your article on extending U.S. Route 30 to Columbiana County ("Rough road ahead," Jan. 5): I believe the answer is simple as to why this project is off the list.
The toll-road lobby is trying as hard as it can to kill major four-lane east-west roads from being built to protect its monopoly.
I travel to Chicago occasionally, and U.S. 30 is wonderful — fast and no tolls. I'd like the same capability going to Pittsburgh.

Samsung Alleges in New Filing That Apple's iPhone 5 Infringes on Its Patents
Jason Mick
October 2, 2012 1:01 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Samsung accuses the latest Apple product of violating two cellular and six utility (mobile OS) patents.
As expected
, Samsung Electronic Comp., Ltd. (
) has filed an amendment to its patent infringement countersuit against Apple, Inc. (
) in the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
alleging that
the iPhone 5
infringes on six of its patents.
I. Samsung Alleges iPhone 5 Infringement
Two of those patents involve the 3G UMTS standard (which Apple may be free to license at a low rate as they are
FRAND standards patents
The other six patents are more dangerous, however, since they are utility patents and hence Samsung has no licensing obligations to Apple. Those patents are:
U.S. Patent No. 7,672,470
(filed: 2004; granted: 2010; covers: volume control)
U.S. Patent No. 7,577,757
(filed: 2006; granted: 2009; covers: multimedia synchronization)
U.S. Patent No. 7,232,058
(filed: 2004; granted: 2007; covers: compact data display/notifications)
U.S. Patent No. 6,292,179
(filed: 1999; granted: 2001; covers: touch keyboard)
U.S. Patent No. 6,226,449
(filed: 1997; granted: 2001; covers: image/voice recording)
U.S. Patent No. 5,579,239
(filed: 1994; granted: 1996; covers: video calling/compression)
Samsung claims Apple's new sixth-generation iPhone infringes on all of these patents.
II. Adding to the Existing Dispute Doesn't Necessarily Mean a Loss for Samsung
The phonemaker wants to inject its new iPhone 5 accusations into its partially-complete current case, replacing a placeholder in the original filing referring to future products. Samsung claims, "judicial resources will be preserved" by this approach. The decision would also benefit Samsung by allowing it to potentially achieve a rapid ban on the iPhone 5 if
Judge Paul S. Grewal
or other judges in the case decide in Samsung's favor.
Recall that in its
previous legal loss
to Apple in the same court, a jury ruled that Apple's previous iPhones did not infringe on any of these Samsung patents, while finding Samsung to infringe on virtually every Apple patent asserted.
However, substantial questions regarding that ruling have been raised on several grounds -- notably that at least one juror had family members who were large Apple shareholders, that the jury was given a massive amount of arguments to consider in a narrow time window, and that some jury instructions appeared to have been biased towards Apple.
In that regard, Samsung's Aug. 24 loss before the jury may not necessary mirror the outcome in this second phase.
Samsung hopes for a better result in rount two of its Californian federal court dispute with Apple.
[Image Source: Android Authority]
Apple recently sought to
triple the damages against Samsung
to $3B USD on the grounds that jurors found Samsung's infringement to be willful. Apple is also pushing the court to
ban most of Samsung's Android smartphones
from sale in the U.S.

APCNews 131 – Anti-violence-against-women & ICT fund winners, transgender & Facebook- 11/08/10
APCNews – November 08 2010 – Year XI Issue 131
The news service on ICTs for social justice and sustainable development
From 25 Nov to 10 Dec, the Take Back The Tech! Campaign (www.takebackthetech.net) calls on women and men to take control of technology to protect the right to freedom of expression and information. Since it began in 2006, people in more than 30 countries have used the internet and other technology to fight violence against women. This year more than sixty new women's rights groups —winners of the Take Back the Tech!Fund (http://www.apc.org/en/node/11239/) — will join the campaign. Grant winners include a group of young black lesbians in South Africa who are documenting violence against lesbian women and monitoring reported court cases. Hate crimes against lesbians is a huge but almost invisible issue in South Africa. This is part of APC's work towards achieving the third Millennium Development Goal on equality for women. Find out more about the Take Back the Tech! Fund winners from Argentina, Brazil, Congo, Mexico, South Africa and seven other countries.
Take Back the Tech! 2010 Explore technology! Defend women's rights!
KUALA LUMPUR (APC WNSP for APC) – The UN estimates that 95% of aggressive behaviour, harassment, abusive language and degrading images in online spaces are aimed at women. As more and more women go online using computers and mobile phones, many are silenced through acts of violence, sexism and censorship. From November 25 to December 10 Take Back The Tech! (www.takebackthetech.net) calls on women and men to take control of technology to protect the right to freedom of expression and information. Join the movement and get creative!
Transgender women use Facebook to lobby UN
BUENOS AIRES (KAH for APCNews) – After Maria Rocha attended an APC Feminist Tech Exchange she set up a Facebook profile for Primorosa Preciosura – her organisation's "safe house" for people of diverse sexualities. She didn´t really know what the benefits might be but wanted to try out some of the skills she had learned at the workshop. Months later she was at the United Nations in New York representing lesbian and trans women from the heartland of Argentina's conservative Catholic North.
Ecuadorian Valeria Betancourt to lead APC's policy programme
MONTEVIDEO (KAH for APCNews) – Last month Valeria Betancourt was named the third most influential person in internet public policy in Latin America in a survey carried out by a well-known ICT policy and research think-tank (www.dirsi.net). She also became APC's policy manager taking over from South African Willie Currie (http://www.apc.org/en/node/11208/), after leading our policy work in Latin America since 2001.
Open video films struggle of most marginalised people in Malaysia
SARAWAK (Andrew Garton for APCNews) — On October 23 2007 the Headman of Penan Village in the remote Malaysian state of Sarawak left his wife at a rest area in the forest to check on his traps. He never returned. Two months later his remains were found in a river. The Headman is the final episode in the Sarawak Gone series, a micro-documentary project by Andrew Garton. Sarawak Gone documents the gradual decimation of indigenous life and culture and the struggle for land. The entire work is open licensed — which means that the materials gathered and produced are returned to the communities who participated in the project and the content is available for re-use, for free, for people who seek to protect the native customary rights of some of the most marginalised people in Malaysia.

LUCKNOW -- I had purchased Reebok brand shoes from authorized shop of the company in Delhi on 06.04.2007. I found that stitch thread around eye hold was coming loose. On pointing this out the company through their authorized dealer in Delhi changed the shoes on 08.04.2007. However, the shoes subsequently were found very tight and damaging my feet. On 26.04.2007 I communicated to the Company at their E-mail address this aspect including request that matter be dealt in Lucknow as I am posted in Lucknow.
The company in its e-mail correspondence admitted that dimensions of the shoe can vary because of styling which was exactly the cause of my discomfort because of these shoes. However, the company felt that shoes cannot be replaced as I had used them and they thus cannot resell the same. After much e-mail based correspondences in which Company representatives used inappropriate language, the Company agreed to examine the shoes. Accordingly, the shoes were left at the Company designated store at Saharaganj, Lucknow on 12.05.2007.
Since then, despite repeated reminders, there has been no communication from the Company as to what has happened to my claim to have these shoes replaced. Thus the Company has deprived me of use of shoes for more than three months in spite of having invested substantial amount of money.
It is requested that this matter May be taken up with the Company to find out: (1) Why the Company shoes were of different size in spite of declaring on the shoes the size for which they were bought? Incidentally company has accepted this aspect and I quote from their email to me 'Footwear of various models May vary in dimensions because of styling.' (2) Why Company representative use inappropriate language while corresponding with the customer? (3) Why a multinational Company which spends huge amount of money globally on advertisement deals with the customer who points out the problems insensitively?
(4) Why it has taken Company so much time from 12.05.2007 till date that it does not find itself capable of responding to the customer in spite of having taken back the shoes for examination. (5) Whether the company will ultimately decide on the issue or legal action for which a customer is always poorly equipped compared to a multinational company is the only recourse? (6) Does the Reebok Company have the same policy towards its customers in Europe and America in similar circumstances?
I recently bought my son a pair of Reebok Zigs for school. He was very excited to get them. I live in a small town and had to drive an hour away just to get them for him. He wore them for about a month when in PE class - the whole side ripped out of them. Now, I do realize that my son is rough on shoes, but 100 bucks on shoes I would expect at least 6 months on these shoes. He wasn't doing anything that would have made such a huge tear on these shoes. He was running in PE and turned and that was it...
I am very disappointed in these shoes and was told at the store I purchased them that they wouldn't take them back, that I would have to call customer service at Reebok for instructions on what to do. I am not going to fool with that so I bought him Nike shoes which is what he has always had and I have never had trouble with. I have recently learned that his friend in school bought the same shoes and had the same problem. So, I guess I am not the only one... Just beware - popular shoes, not very tough.
I recently purchased the Reebok ZigTech. I am a food server and I'm on my feet for long periods of time. They are so comfortable but within less than a month there was a tear in the left upper portion. I did bring them back to question such an odd place for them to rip. I was told they were an indoor shoe. I was puzzled. They are advertised as a RUNNING shoe. I don't run. I just wanted a comfortable shoe for work.
They did replace the shoe, but today, less than one month from being replaced the same exact tear, in the same exact place. I am very disappointed. I finally thought I had the perfect shoe, and for that price they should have been. I would have happily paid twice that if they could have managed to last a year! They have gotten great reviews from NFL athletes, but then again they get them for free...
PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA -- I have not bought any shoe more comfortable in over twenty years but Reebok. I have bought the Classic, and Princess styles. The last two pair I purchased were classic made in Vietnam - hurt my feet on the top and my toes. The material feels like glue harden on the inside of the shoe. I tried to wear them twice but the shoe was too painful. I am asking for a refund of $29.99, because I cannot wear them at all. I bought them in the shoe store in the Monroeville Mall Pittsburgh PA. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
DALLAS, TEXAS -- I have a pair of Reebok Zigs that began to have tears in fabric after just a couple of months of wear. I work at a local hospital in McKinney Texas and several of my coworkers bought the same shoes at the same time I did. Their shoes too began to tear in exact way mine did. We all continue to wear these shoes. They are comfortable and awesome shoes but look bad with the tears in fabric. I think Reebok should give us some kind of compensation for this. These shoes should not be tearing like this. A couple of my coworkers loved the shoes so much that they ordered several pair at the same time. All of their shoes have tears.
The metal zipper pull on the jacket described above broke off. The metal part broke off that held the hanging pull part, so I can't just find a new pull tab. It is a faulty zipper pull. This was a special gift purchased at the ProShop at Lambeau Field in Green Bay Wisconsin and means a lot to him, but without the zipper the jacket is useless.
Please direct me where to go or how to get a new pull. If all else fails the whole zipper could be replaced, but I would want the zipper to match and am unable to locate that color and size. Please assist me if you can, or at least let me know if these replacement pieces are not available. Thank you.
BLUE MOUNTAINS -- I own a pair of Reeboks. I think the model number is RB 708 PYE 4-131477 - this is printed on the tongue of the shoe. Recently I tried to change the shoelaces. It took the combined efforts of 3 people to accomplish this, over a period of 40 minutes. The laces are extremely difficult to remove and also to replace.
Currently I am in China, which was also useful since your website is almost unintelligible and very difficult to follow. I cannot imagine who must have designed the complicated lace insertion. I would be very interested to receive your comments, but if the rest of your organization is as poor as the design, then of course my complaint will be ignored. A very frustrated and angry.
SAN FRANSICO, CALIFORNIA -- As a loyal fan of the SF 49ers I am boycotting anything to do with this company. Seriously how much money will they lose by letting head coach Mike Nolan wear a suit on the sidelines. Granted they paid 250 mil for exclusive rights to all teams apparel, does it really matter that a few head coaches want to show respect to the game and the ones who came before them. I guess in a huge company like this respect means nothing. Therefore with any chance I get I will strongly suggest to anyone and everyone not to purchase your products. Including the various sport teams I coach. I will never recommend your products of any kind.
APPLETON, WISCONSIN -- I ordered customized tennis shoes and received them with another persons receipt. I contacted Reebok several times via email and they refused to send me my receipt unless I called their 1-800 number!!! WHAT?! You can take my money and my order via the computer but not complaints or requests for a simple receipt. I asked several times and as of today, I have not received my receipt - that was about a month ago.

Stores are also not making this easy for those of us trying to stay stylish on a dime: there are so many cute handbags to choose from! My frugal solution: break out your springtime staple handbags—bright and light colours, nautical stripes, patterns, textiles like denim and canvas—and show them off. And if you want to get a new addition to your collection, get a cheap-and-chic one. My favourite warm-weather-inspired bag of late? This powder-y blue tote from Zara.

Ok, so what is everyones opinion on taking local honey to help with seasonal allergies? I'm sure everyone and their mother has heard that taking honey daily will help build a tolerance to pollen. There are however no published studies on it, and many who say it's foowy.
One train of thought is that "it's these tiny pollens carried by the wind and not carried by bees that tend to be allergens.". While I agree with that, it's also fair to say that those tiny pollen spores contaminate everything around. Seriously.. I've looked at my truck and wondered when it's turned from blue to yellow. So my "opinion" is that there are still spores from allergen plants in the honey and pollen collected, regardless on if they are just a wind dependable plant.
So... What do YOU think?

So does soy milk gives you cancer or what?
this is my first post. I have been reading about soy milk, because the doctor told my mother that is very good for her, because it will help her bones density after the menopause, it has a natural calcium, etc..etc...
Then I went over the internet and read things that " it will prevent in 35 % prostate cancer ",and then I read anther study saying that is all a lie and actually, soy mil "will INCREASE 120% the possibility to get prostate cancer"( or breast cancer for woman ).
Soooo....yea, internet is very helpful. Each study contradicts the others. Of course a lot of studies are done by the same food companies to get the approval for selling their products. So you can�t trust anything. And independent studies, again, how do you know if you should trust them. They say that�s an independent study, but who knows.
I�ve also read that regular milk gives you cancer because they have some king of hormone...
Is there any food that doesn�t give you cancer??!!
ps: I am a big yerba mate drink. I dirnk 1 litre each day. So far it is the only thing that seems safe to have.

Re: So does soy milk gives you cancer or what?
Welcome to the forum shenmue
I had never heard of Yerba mate till today so looked it up on the Internet and found this ..
http://www.marksdailyapple.com/yerba-ma … z2LJxQ1jsk
Soya milk I tried once or twice and really dislike , I have never heard of it being associated with increasing bone density till you mentioned it.
I do know that beans in their whole form are good for you and a important part of diet , being low in fats , high in fibres , proteins , vitamins and minerals .
Soya milk that comes from a bean source , I have not much idea with its nutritional values I comparison to cows milk for example .
This sugestion of regular milk giving you cancer I have not heard of either , but realistically when you think about just how much milk gets consumed every day from an early age and all over the world . It's unlikely to be something that effects people.

Re: So does soy milk gives you cancer or what?
This sadly is my specialist area. Unfermented Soya contains chemicals which replicate the human hormone oestrogen (or estrogen which is the modern spelling). Some cancers are 'fed' by oestrogen. Some forms of breast cancer and some male cancers. It is not proved that the soy products actually cause the cancer: more that they may contribute if someone has a hormone fed cancer. I have double positive breast cancer (or have just finished treatment for it) which is fed by both oestrogen and progesterone.
There is confusion in soya because one of the big studies has shown that soya can contribute to such cancers.
And another study has show that it doesnt....and like most studies you should look at who is funding them and what other factors contribute.
If we are overweight we can produce too much of these hormones (especially if it is around the tummy area) so add extra hormones to the extra ones already being made...well..then there may be problems.
People with hormone stimulated cancers and who take drugs such as Tamoxifen are advised not to eat soya products. And yet the Chinese have low breast cancer rates but also have a very different diet than we in the Western world do. Human cancer is very complex and I think the advice I would give as a Biologist and a cancer survivor (today lol) is balance in all things. You can get calcium from greens and eggs are important as they have vitamin D (needed for processing calcium) and calcium. A healthy diet is one which has a bit of everything in it. I hope this helps.

Re: So does soy milk gives you cancer or what?
Welcome to the convoluted world of 'what is healthy?' Shenmue.
Most research looks at one aspect of a food and finds out that too much causes cancer. You'd be chasing your tail to try and make sense of it. I like Jamie Oliver's attitude that looks at a wide variety of fresh, unprocessed food, deliciously put together and eaten in moderation. You cant go too far wrong following that philosophy.

Re: So does soy milk gives you cancer or what?
okay, thank you all for the replies.
So to sum up, if you don�t have cancer, don�t worry about it. If you do, don�t have milk because it feeds the cancer cells.
Xanderlee, I hope you�re alright. Thanks for your reply. I have friends that had that horrible and unfair disease. Fortunately they are key now. By the way do you know something about drinking mate?

Did you know that Listerine ( the mouth wash) really gives cancer? I asked my dentist, because I heard as a rumor, and he told me that it was true!! Using it every day could give you mouth cancer when you are older, and everybody around the world use it. And what is worst, is that, here, in spain, listerine is approved by the association of dentists! they know all about it, and they approve it. Why???...money, just money. In the end it is all about products and benefits. So even if milk is consumed by everybody...you know, keep your eyes open.

Re: So does soy milk gives you cancer or what?
Running the risk of being controversial, if you're so interested in what causes cancer you may wanna read about Dr. Hamer's New Medicine.
People keep talking about food that causes cancer, pollution, tobacco, etc. but not many talk about negative emotions that from the past that are kept in our body and according to him, its negative emotions and emotional shocking events that trigger the mutation in cancer cells, which we all have in our body.
I have met a few people with different sorts of cancer and asked them the same question that Dr. Hamer did, which is if prior to the cancer being diagnosed, did they go through a significal emotional event 1 to 3 years before. All replied yes.

Shenmue, something you have to understand is that it is not as clear-cut as that, in any of these cases.
Whether something causes cancer or protects against cancer, or any other disease, is only known by a few types of studies. One main type is to look at people who eat/use that thing and people who don't eat/use it and see how much cancer there is in each group. Researchers do try to rule out other factors, but it's not always possible to do.
For instance, imagine you studied men with different heights and you found tall people were less likely to get cancer than short people. So being short is a cancer risk, right? Probably not. There is probably something else going on - maybe the short people are short because of poor diet throughout their lives, and that is what is causing the cancer risk. People who are well-nourished but genetically short are at no higher risk.
This stuff is subtle and complex, and many studies are just small steps on the road to understanding. They may discover a slight difference in risk between two populations, or they may discover an effect of an exaggerated diet change in rats; all helpful for understanding the big picture, but taken out of context they don't tell you something as simple as "such-and-such causes cancer".
The problem is, the minute a researcher comes up with a result that has anything to do with cancer, or heart disease, or similar, the press jumps on it and prints huge headlines about how such-and-such causes cancer or prevents cancer, and they oversimplify the results to the point where they are meaningless.
Add to this the fact that studies funded by biased organisations tend to produce biased results, and all you can say is "don't believe everything you read".

Re: So does soy milk gives you cancer or what?
hippy.. so many new stories take out of context the scientific studies... they also tend to jump to correlation causation fallacies.
and example would be
When suntan lotion sales rise , there is a higher percentage of people with sunburns
therefore suntan lotion causes sunburns.
just because two factors correlate , it does not mean there is causation.

Re: So does soy milk gives you cancer or what?
yes, cancer is a very complex disease to say it is black or white.
About the negative emotion subject, is very interesting. I used to think that something psychological like emotions only affects your mind, not your body. But it does- It is like when you are under a lot of stress, and you have some muscular spasms. Also your immune system does down,etc... So yea, cancer is related to a huge amount of factors. But when a dentist explains to you that Listerine mutates the cells in your mouth, and that could lead to cancer, I think it is very fair to trust him. Even if the product says that it is wonderful and healthy.
Anyway, I am hungry...so I am going to get some milk and cereals.

I do agree about the mouthwash, actually. It is logical to me that regularly washing your mucous membranes with alcohol could cause some harm. I used to do it, but I don't any more.

Student suspected of plotting to harm classmates charged with battery
RIGBY, Idaho - A student who allegedly plotted to harm classmates at Rigby Junior High has now been charged with battery.
The suspect has been placed into a juvenile detention center while he waits for a court hearing on April 1st.
Rigby Police say this student's plot to harm his classmates stemmed from bullying and he may even be a victim himself.
Long before Rigby Police discovered the student's arsenal of weapons -- including small caliber handguns, ammunition and knives -- an officer was looking into reports of bullying.
"The officer felt that there was more to what was going on with this young man and decided he needed to be evaluated," said Keith Hammon, Rigby Police Chief.
Police said the student was bullied, both at school and online. He even started a fight with a fellow classmate.
"This is a juvenile reacting to that bullying, trying to take matters into his own hands," said Robin Dunn, Jefferson County Prosecutor.
Dunn said since the student never actually carried out his plan to harm students, it's unlikely he'll be charged with anything other than battery.
"When these events are thwarted before they happen, we need some legislation for pre-crimes, as criminal conduct is usually after the fact," said Dunn.
Even though police and school administrators prevented anything from happening, some parents have mixed feelings about sending their kids to school.
"Rumors had come home with my kids and they were upset and worried...I was frustrated," said Tenessa Buttars, a parent.
"They're okay," said Valerie Bowen, a parent. "It was just another normal day...they didn't have any fears."
And while the School District is facing a tight budget, administrators said they'll try to keep their school resource officers.
"Having an SRO in the school, immediately available, is a real advantage," said Ron Tolman, Jefferson School District Superintendent. "We hope that somehow we're able to preserve that in as many schools as possible."
Dunn said the state needs the legislature to react to pre-criminal activities; otherwise it's very difficult to prosecute cases like these where police were able to stop violent plans from happening.
The suspect is receiving mental health evaluations and treatment.
Rigby Police said the investigation is still continuing.

As a result of a recent systems upgrade at OPM, and in conjunction with the Treasury Department's new Intra-governmental Payment and Collections System (IPAC), OPM is revamping its investigative billing process. In making changes to our current service we have listened to the feedback received from our customers and will also be working with a sample group of small, medium and large agencies to ensure that our efforts meet your needs.
The new processes will be implemented in two phases. During Phase 1 we will be transitioning from our old accounting system to a new one, while concurrently implementing a new billing format and collections process. During Phase 2 we will finalize the new processes and launch the OPM Investigations Web Site.
Beginning in June, you will no longer receive the case detail of your investigative activity on a hardcopy invoice and the IPAC transmission as you have in the past. Instead, you will receive a summary report of your activity by each Submitting Office Number (SON), and each case type within that SON. This change will have the following benefits:
In addition to this invoice, you will still receive a report (similar to the Special Billing Report that you now receive) that will list all of the case detail activity, subtotaled by SON with a grand total that matches your invoice amount. You will also receive detailed information regarding adjustments to records open prior to the system change.
During Phase 2, OPM will produce additional reports that will be available to you, both in hardcopy and online. At that time we will launch a secure web site, where authorized personnel from your organization will have continuous online access to your data. When the site becomes operational you will be able to:
OPM is making these enhancements to provide you with the best customer service possible and to assist you in dealing with the ever-changing financial environment. We hope that these changes will improve your financial interactions with us, and allow you to conduct your investigative efforts in a more manageable fashion. Throughout the implementation we will be soliciting your comments and feedback regarding the new report format and will contact some of you for specific comments. If you would like to share your thoughts regarding these changes please contact Tom Coleman in the Office of the Chief Financial Officer on (202) 606-3706 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We look forward to working with you on an ongoing basis to improve our services and better serve you in the future.

Is it possible to just pin these and use the stock as a fixed stock. Figured I would make a piece of bent rod cheek piece like being sold to add to the rod of the stock. Figured that way I would not have to cut up the back of my Polish receiver either.

Yea Gunny that is what I was talking about.
As for keeping it in the open position, just over tighten the screw that is the button or replace it with a shorter one. And this can be reversed if you want it to fold again.
The other option it to weld it.

Thanks for the info I do not plan on it being a folder as I do not plan on cutting the receiver for the stock to fold.

Russell Finch has been appointed as the new Director of Rush Select! Russell will be taking over for Nik Penn who will continue to work with Select Teams and will be turning his attention to the development and advancement of coaching education within the Rush organization.
"Russell has showed the passion and the enthusiasm for the program over the last few years," commented Penn. "I feel with this energy and his new ideas, it is the perfect person to take the program up another notch."
Finch, who coaches the current U14 girls, was the first Select coach to implement ID camps that have since become a common practice within the Select system. He will be leading the trip to Germany and Holland for the 14 girls in October. In the past year Rush Select teams have competed in events in Spain and Italy along with multiple events in the USA including the Disney Cup, Surf Cup, Open Cup in Alabama and the PDT in Phoenix where 5 of 10 teams made the Championship game in 2014 with 3 being crowned champs.

Current Versa is pleasantly weird. On the new one rear styling evokes a 4 year old Altima design. Front styling evokes a vaguely unpleasant reaction. I guess if the price is Yaris like and it drives ok it will be in the mix.
Wow its only about 131305103501305 x better than the old. Good job Nissan
-------2012 Chevy "Penelope" Cruze - 1.4L TUUUUUURBO
It does look a lot better than the current one. This one would fit better into their lineup.

The front resembles like a Volvo and the back is like mashed up Altima and Murano.
I remember the first time I stepped into a Versa and saw how big it was. The amount of rear legroom was comparable to a midsize sedan. It's good for what it is if you can overlook the Frenchy ugliness. The new one appears to look much better, but IMO the upcoming Accent looks even better.

Mmmmmm for an economy car I guess it looks alright. The front looks very aggressive but the rear looks very cheap with those discount auto parts tail lights.
And suddenly I realized that I was no longer driving the car consciously. I was driving it by a kind of instinct, only I was in a different dimension.Ayrton Senna
Those are huge headlights on such a little car and the back somehow confuses me. I think it wants to look big too. I don't like but do like it at the same time, since that's possible.
sport or eco or both?
Somehow it reminds me of the current Matrix.

(May 2, 2008)--Rosalind Horowitz, a professor in the UTSA College of Education and Human Development, recently traveled to New York City for the annual American Education Research Association Conference (AERA), where her edited publication, "Talking Texts: How Speech and Writing Interact in School Learning" (Routledge/Taylor and Francis), was honored at a special reception at the Marriott Marquis on Times Square.

AERA is the largest educational research association in the world and reception attendees included members of AERA, the Special Interest Group on Research in Reading and Literacy as well as COEHD Dean Betty Merchant and Associate Dean Page Smith.
"Talking Texts" features 20 chapters by 30 contributors who are experts in the development of dialogic communication -- inside and outside of school contexts. The book includes research by Horowitz conducted in the San Antonio area and Toronto. It contains theoretical papers and research representing different forms of talk that can be used effectively with text genres to facilitate reading, writing and reasoning. Contributors represent Norway, Hong Kong, China, The Netherlands, Israel, Ireland and Canada.
"'Talking Texts' demonstrates that it isn't enough to just read a book in solitude under a tree or silently at a desk in a school classroom," said Horowitz. "It explores how family and pre-school communications, teacher-led instructional conversations, tutor-tutee talk, peer discussions and professional collaborations about content in domains of knowledge make a difference in learning. That is, the volume shows how each form of speech and text interface and influence how new knowledge is acquired and produced, albeit from engineering and the physical sciences to the arts -- drama, poetry and music."
Horowitz is a professor of discourse and literacy studies. Named as a distinguished alumna of the University of Minnesota, she has served as a visiting scholar to Russia and at the University of Toronto. She recently was appointed to the executive committee of the International Society for Speech, Writing and Context.

Apparently debuting this fall in Europe, this is what we'll get next year as the 2013.2013 A5/S5New front end that evokes the styling direction of the A8, A6, etc. Looks pretty good overall.
____________________Because it totally worked when Lincoln did it.
This is one upgrade they could have passed on. For some reason it now looks dated, less attractive, even slow(read droopy head lights). They took one of the sexiest looking coupes on the market and made it less sexy. Hopefully it looks much better in person.The front looks so 3D while the new one looks 2D.
_______________Your choices are white and of course black___________________
Wow, they made it look better...didn't think that was possible. I do like the influence of the Quattro Concept.
___________________Current:1971 MGB 4-speed2003 Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z 5-speed2014 Subaru Forester XTBritish cars don't leak oil; they mark their territory!
I'm not as excited as I thought I would be, as I think this model is one of the sexiest cars out there. I don't know, audi are becoming too.... mmm similar these days. Is that a bad thing, not really since they are pretty sexy. I was trying to complain about something here when there is nothing to complain about. Did I succeed.
.**************************************Go Placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. Be on good term with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
i cant really tell the difference between the current car and this one. however, thats not necessarily a bad thing since the current car is so good looking
------------------2006 Mercedes Benz SLK 3502008 Mercedes Benz ML 350 4Matic2012 Mercedes Benz E550 Cabriolet 2012 Ford Focus SEL
front is a downgrade...it looks like it has droopy eyes... which is what I don't like about the current A4
-----------------how does it stay so small and skinny when it has single handedly eaten all those fat muscle cars?"I don't want the world, I only want what I deserve!"
I dont like the new changes over the current model. The current model is pretty much perfect in my eyes.
_______2012 Race Red Mustang Gt
I'll wait to see it in person, but I think they messed with perfection. It was one of the Audis that actually looked a little different, and now they've given it headlights very similar to the A6.
I agree with GMLexus that the egg-crate grill and front end of the current S5 is more appealing than the 2013 revamp. I think that the revamp makes the car look more like a generic Audi.
The interior, however, is bang-on sweet. Chiseled dash looks like it was carved from a single piece. The seats look incredibly comfortable. This is a car I could own and drive regardless of how it looks on the outside, which to me, looks fantastic!
____________________________Edgy, Controversial, Dangerous...
This LED trends as a DRLs is really stupid. Making designs within the headlights is a godawful idea. I prefer headlights of the current A5/S5 and prev A6.And BMW got the best halo DRLs so far.
Unfortunately these things are still front heavy will never match a CTS or 3 series coupe in handling or steering feel. Audi's are always dynamically disappointing because of the FWD based design.Either way I prefer my G, at least in the sub $50k price point.
Love it, but then again I like the direction Audi has taken the headlights and such. They're not as "rectangle" anymore.

Seriously Spooky – Thrills and Chills at Fort Nelson this half-term - Friday, 14 October 2011
Prepare to be scared – head to the Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson this October half-term for a host of Halloween horrors.
From ghoulish craft activities to frightening fancy dress – and ghostly story-telling to Horrible Hands on History – the new-look museum has lined up a spooktacular programme to help beat the school holiday blues.
Kids can head to the Fort in Halloween costume and enjoy face-painting, pumpkin trails, make-and-take craft sessions, and spooky balloon sessions – with a touch of magic thrown in.
Events run from Monday, October 24, to Sunday, October 30 inclusive. Balloon-modelling sessions run as follows:
Monday (Oct 24) and Sunday (Oct 30) – Izzy Wizzy Witch
Tuesday (Oct 25) and Friday (Oct 28) – Nolan the Wizard
Wednesday (Oct 26) – Count Von Tall
Thursday (Oct 27) – Robbie the Wizard
Saturday (Oct 29) – Guy Heathcote and his spooky juggling and Diablo "devil sticks".
Museum entrance is free and visitors can explore the 19-acre Victorian Fort, complete with underground tunnels, daily gun firings and brand new galleries, showcasing the national collection of big guns. There's also the chance to visit the newly-opened Café 1871, offering a variety of hot and cold meals including children's lunch bags.
Museum director Peter Armstrong said, "Fort Nelson is a fantastically atmospheric place to stage our Halloween events, thanks to the underground tunnels and the fully-restored Victorian buildings. Some local people are even convinced we have a few resident ghosts."
Fort Nelson was officially relaunched in the summer, following a £3.5m redevelopment, supported by a grant of over £2m from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
With glass sides and high ceilings, the new Voice of the Guns gallery has guaranteed "wow factor" and showcases 14 of the most famous exhibits, including two sections of the infamous Iraqi Super Gun, two anti-aircraft guns used to defend the South Coast, and the Great Turkish Bombard dating to 1464.
There are also social history galleries, exciting new interactives, and a state-of-the-art new education centre and visitor centre.
Built in the 1860s, the Portsdown Hill Fort is home to the national collection of artillery and historic cannon, with over 350 exhibits from all over the globe. The museum's new galleries tell the fascinating stories of the objects, their history and the people who used them.
The collection originated at HM Tower of London and has been on display in Hampshire since 1995.
Charges apply for some Halloween events – please visit www.royalarmouries.org for more details.

Cricket: Black Caps see 'great opportunity'
8:08 PM Monday Mar 18, 2013
Black Caps captain sees 'great opportunity' to clinch series victory against England. Brendon McCullum says both tests could well have produced results, but for rain. Call it turf wars. Who would have imagined 20.12m of the stuff would be the hottest topic going to Eden Park where the test series will be decided from Friday. After the second test washout at the Basin Reserve yesterday, New Zealand are a surprise chance to win the test rubber, with the series locked up 0-0.

This pic is from her recent DC show, I had to wait until after the show to share it. It's my PrePro Boba (WIP) taken at a local Bamboo forrest. It was a perfect setting! Simply, I posed in various spots, and she combined all the pics. I think it turned out uber-cool! So, here you go.

text: After twelve seasons and only one man left standing, CBS is finally going to pull the plug on the long running show. One more year to cash in those huge paychecks before the actors will have to scramble and look for work like the rest of Hollywood. Hopefully they saved the vast majority of it or Jon Cryer will be doing a dinner version of Pretty In Pink and Ashton will be hosting Punk'd episodes again. If you needed a way to get through a very long airplane flight, watching episodes of the show are a great way to pass the time. Was it ever appointment television for me? No. It must have been for some people though because it used to be the number one show in the country and its ratings are still stronger than many other shows airing each week. I don't think there is any place left to go for the writers or any kind of story arc they haven't explored. It will be interesting to see if Chuck Lorre and Charlie Sheen end their blood feud long enough to have Charlie make a guest appearance. He could play a ghost or be in some kind of dream sequence. Maybe the final episode will have him wake up in bed next to Heather Locklear with Michael J Fox standing over them. Hey, it would certainly get your attention.

Possible deal in killing of Colo. school girl
GOLDEN, Colo. - There could be a plea deal for a teen charged with kidnapping and killing a 10-year-old girl on her way to school in suburban Denver.
A hearing to discuss a possible plea deal for Austin Sigg is scheduled Tuesday afternoon in Golden.
It comes two days before the 18-year-old is set to stand trial and nearly a year after Jessica Ridgeway's disappearance set the community on edge. Investigators searched for over two weeks for Jessica's abductor before Sigg turned himself in.
Detectives say he confessed to killing Jessica, but denied sexually assaulting her.
If convicted, he would face life in prison but could be paroled after 40 years. Sigg can't get the death penalty because he was 17 at the time of the slaying.

Shane van Gisbergen's website says he was "born to race''. That might not now be the case amid widespread rumours the Kiwi will quit V8 Supercars at the end of the season because he is disillusioned with the sport.
The 23-year-old and Stone Brothers Racing team boss Ross Stone have refused to comment on the speculation that is the talk of pitlane for this weekend's penultimate round in Winton, north of Melbourne. It comes just six months after he signed a new three-year deal with Stone Brothers but that was before the team announced its switch from Ford to Mercedes-Benz for 2013.
"It's a pretty cool feeling to be able to keep all our relationships going,'' he said at the time. "I definitely think I can win a championship with SBR, that is the main reason I wanted to stay. I wouldn't have stayed if I didn't think that.
"Everything is really exciting now and I'm looking forward to continuing to work with SBR and SP Tools.''
Reports suggest the change in manufacturer and management structure allows Van Gisbergen to activate a get-out clause in his contract and others have said Van Gisbergen wants to spend more time at home - his family live on the outskirts of Auckland.
It could open up the possibility he will race in the V8 SuperTourers in New Zealand currently in its inaugural season but speedcafe.com reported he was more likely to "dabble'' in quad biking, karting and drifting.
He first started on a Suzuki ATV at age five before racing a quarter midget on speedway ovals and karts. He also had a year in Formula First (entry level single seaters), won the New Zealand Formula Ford Championship in 2006 and was second in the 2007 Toyota Racing Series before jumping into tin tops.
The news of Van Gisbergen's imminent departure is something that has caught many, including Kiwi motor ace Greg Murphy, unaware.
"It's quite bizarre and very interesting,'' Murphy told Newstalk ZB. "I haven't heard of anything like this but certainly it's one out of left-field, that's for sure.''
Reports last week suggested Van Gisbergen wanted to remain loyal to Ford and was looking for a switch of teams but it's since emerged he has lost his passion and wants a more relaxed lifestyle.
Despite his tender years, he has been racing V8s since 2007 when he was just 17. He first teamed up with Team Kiwi Racing but his potential was soon recognised and won promotion to Stone Brothers Racing's main team in 2008.
He finished his first full season in 15th and improved to 12th in 2009, sixth in 2010 and fourth in 2011, when he notched his first career win at Hamilton.
He's had another good season in 2012, with four podium finishes and a career-first pole position at Sandown, and was fifth on the points table behind clear leader Jamie Whincup with two rounds remaining.

The Rodeo Collection Round Twelve Light Chandelier lends luxurious modern style to your home.More Details >
Inspired by classic rustic lodge chandeliers, this handsome large chandelier design makes a wonderful accent for seating areas or entry halls. It features a bronze finish with curved metal accents. The round frame supports twelve candelabra style lights with faux drip sockets.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Great looking, showpiece, I hung this light myself with the help of my wife, very heavy and definitely need another person or two for help. Easily a $1000 + fixture in a retail store.
This chandelier is far more incredible in person than you can ever imagine from the picture. First the 'candle sticks' are far larger than you may think. I was shocked. At least 5in. high and large girth with perhaps 2-2.5 in. arcross the top of each one. And they aren't so much white as a rich gold color. The chadelier itself is a full 3ft. across. Vaulted ceiling are a must really, its just too tall to attempt to hang on a standard 8ft. ceiling. I hung mine in the kitchen, vaulted ceiling and it is amazing. It doesn't have any one style like western. It can adapt to any decor whether Western theme or Traditional, European, Country or even has a strong Gothic Medieval feel to it which I love with the antiques in the house. It adapts to the surrounding decor which is a brilliant style design. Looks heavier than it is but not too lightweight. Def. a two person job. I hired a professional electrian and I just assisted on the ladder holding it up until he secured it to the length I wanted, took him minutes really. And the canopy included was just enough to cover the hole the ceiling fan left so I didn't need a medallion but you can certainly add one if you want. Mostly comes in one piece, just have to put on the side decorative bars after hanging. Really beautifully desgined. I highly recommend the clear bulbs. I tried the frosted and the silk wrapped but the clear are SO much like real candle flames when lit that it transforms the whole thing. And the glass of the bulb disappears during the day almost making them look like they have wicks. Trust me, the clear are thee bulbs to use. And with twelve lights x 40 watts, make sure you have it on a dimmer and you can blast it high or dim it down for an amazing candlelight look. Mine hangs under a glass sky roof so at night the lights reflect off the glass for a cool effect. The deep iron brown patina will also bring out any other of that color metal you man have in the room for example this is in my kitchen and I have the same color iron knobs and papertowel holder etc. Just ties it all in. So consider the items that will be around it. It will be the showpiece in the room and I got mine when it was on sale for $499..SO happy with this light, one of my fav. pieces in the house. Comes packed very securely and had no breakage issues whatsoever. HIGHLY recommend if you are even remotely attracted to this style of chandelier. Perfect choice, Can't wait to turn it on at night. I read all the 5 star reviews before buying and now I know why it gets such high marks. AAAAA+++++
it was awkward to hang because of its heaviness.actually it was quite hard.... however it couldnt look more beautiful. i have it above an 88inch beafy dining table and it looks amazing. well worth it in the end.
This product is just beautiful! As soon as we hung it, it makes the living room look even more stand out!! This product is great on a vaulted ceiling living room!
My first reaction was that it had a western feel to it; however in looking closer it was obvious this chandelier would look stunning in my 20' entry hall in a Tudor-style home. I have received many MANY compliments and am so glad I looked "outside the box" and made this purchase - it's perfect. I also recommend a dimmer - 12 lights can be a little bright! If you have high ceilings, DO get a pro to hang it.
We placed this chandelier over our formal dinning room table. It is absolutely beautiful and it makes a statement in the room. It is large so don't underestimate its size. We also had to reinforce area where it hung from because it is heavy - so consider its weight.
Stands as a focal point over my dinning table,goes with my tuscan decore,rustic yet elegant.Very well crafted and great illumination. Arrived in excellent condition, my husband and I were able to install it easily in less than one hour.Very satisfied with my first time buy from Lamps Plus!
Great overall light
Was sad to replace my antique chandelier but it's wiring frayed. This piece was so good looking in my large "masculine" dining room that as soon as it went up I quickly forgot about the last one! I have high wood-beamed ceilings and this Chandelier completed the look of the room much better: Remember "Bonanza"? Uh-huh.
I love it, period!
I love this chandelier, it is a beautiful addition to our entryway. We installed it in a few hours, I would recommend professional installation if you have a vaulted ceiling.
love this light... my husband and I installed this fixture on the weekend. You really need to know what you are doing and its takes quite a bit of time. I question if we should have paid to have it installed. Regardless, its stunning.
The fixture adds ambiance to an already existing mountain home with heavy mexican furniture
This chandelier would look great in a cabin kitchen or a house with western decor.
