Percent over the next hour we'll have complete coverage of the announcement from JPMorgan Chase.
Would be with fox business's Liz MacDonald and joining me by phone fox business's senior correspondent Charlie Gasparino Charlie -- -- you first you actually spoke to Jamie Dimon what they tell you.
Yeah I mean I every conversation with the to go.
Listen to what I like about him and the -- -- any other -- -- street -- where eight.
The united depressed you know stops when -- on the pedals well.
Upstream -- -- in this and that I mean you know maybe I'm guilty of that because I find -- to be refreshingly.
Try and that's essentially what he what -- -- -- we screwed up.
There's -- group in London.
-- treat it would -- bad -- sit -- it wasn't the trade itself -- really caused it you know the sort of trait that beat it will.
It was that it -- -- -- a stuff that they thought was gonna mitigate loss victim made great debt situation.
Really -- Arm which supported out and and it should come as it takes to get a bit -- -- money.
If they put -- equity treasury -- is what happened interest rates while the price goes out and it was a lot of money.
-- just the nature banks.
Problem one thing I don't think Jamie will back away from this is where -- and I disagree.
-- on the notion of having all these big banks consolidating all this all the financial power.
You know it -- -- JPMorgan at the top of that because they do all the trade in the lots of risk they do lots of the -- -- lend again.
He won't back off of that and I told -- -- right that's that's where I think they're weak link is.
Worried are pretty -- this is a management issue someone screwed up and out of -- and it does.
-- how many sound tonight and he sound confident Diddy -- Like he was under pressure.
Not happy about helicopter and they wanted to could think that -- the very well run bank.
Arm Liz and it's but it's -- more there's no doubt -- -- people don't let our nation -- you know outlook the EP.
Prepared to a twelve month B.
Onslaught about his reputation.
That up and -- -- -- you know he's pretty -- -- but you know I think they've identified a problem.
Up you think about it you know these -- at a scary is that we have the last couple weeks fresh -- -- exactly been the most -- billion dollars but you think about it.
Eight copper lost.
-- what are the best traders in a world but I never know beast Greenberg over Bear Stearns now which that we gadget or as portfolio manager broker.
-- to talk about you know which would happen to retreat to really get bad is when you don't know what to cut it lost and I think you know at some point.
And this process they had a tree that was going -- Put it -- it was a work.
What we're working -- -- -- -- -- -- a quarter and maybe they would have compacted bureau or breakeven.
He didn't -- -- you know what let's make it happen now it's let's get behind -- Well -- would turn to list Mac Donald.
-- in the a lot of -- tonight coming out that I know a lot of people out there -- -- what in the heck does this mean the problem was in what they called synthetic credit portfolio.
Mentions of derivatives.
Where people to make of these investments.
What are they have they -- -- -- sound kind of spooky right and they're the same investments that were behind the downfall of eight companies like AIG.
And they were basically cause a lot of turmoil -- the financial collapse of 2008.
When I've spoken with people market regulators that places like market by the depositary trust clearing their that this is the gang this is the -- the -- these -- officials who oversees the clearing of these trades.
And what I'm hearing this is that this.
But desk at JPMorgan.
Got so big that they were basically.
Warping this the directions of the derivatives market.
At that big guy who's running the deaths had such influence these sort of -- could be -- to have Ben Bernanke could influence the treasury market so.
When you look at what was going on behind the scenes there was turmoil turmoil on this test this sentiment was protect at -- -- -- that the credit of a number of companies their bonds would improve when they didn't that there is -- one thing that is happening behind the scenes so.
Certainly Europe -- here for a second guess I'm still confused about what they were actually investing in Charlie do you have any insight because it -- They would do it at a trade -- why would it be their -- should be put on.
Which -- and it seems surveys they used.
Primarily Q&A critic price is thick -- -- bad -- basically mitigated losses under book you know they had the right -- And it had it -- -- but it -- known as credit default swaps to be.
If you start of conflicts no personal debt it's he's very -- policies on -- And armed -- -- it people to trade on.
And then they put these -- bet that didn't work obviously.
Up markets pretty bulk -- or cricket they're talking -- and irritable and and it but they -- with the sort of hedging strategy about credit default swaps.
And made it worse I would say that we talked about.
-- seven impact -- not.
Derivatives to quality derivatives are very big retreat these are not liquid market so one treat one big retreat could skew -- market.
Such as it is between port guy's gonna help but you don't -- it back exactly but I don't -- the Dow Jones Industrial Average here.
Are so yes there's some.
PR industry.
You know Charlie I think I just think I just don't think we're gonna have and I could be wrong I've been wrong before.
By some sort of mix of market repercussions.
Are now massive market repercussions.
But let me ask you that's -- and and you are seeing the praises of Jamie Dimon as a leader right.
Lot of people are saying this is a big black -- for him he is the -- CEO I don't street here's a guy who -- the Dow.
Makes them money and -- we look -- us.
I don't know it actually cheapest easiest shot the world OK true screw up -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Made a mistake we don't just say in this -- -- you know where I come out these guys these guys.
I'd be worried and -- and they don't like -- was -- -- say about by the big average break about but I would say it is.
A bank in any bank would -- well having.
Who knows can meet with what is really doing right now I will tell you really behind the scenes among bank in the banking industry.
And among adults covered it's an investors -- -- Jamie Dimon makes the -- you know -- What else going on -- -- group at Bank of America.
Little -- what.
Reality it or don't write on the conference call had gotten a -- students with Bank of America -- how difficult how easy will it be feud.
-- bank to exit this -- and Jamie Dimon still wouldn't answer the issue is though that we've got the vocal rule we have Dodd-Frank that's coming into play this summer you know.
The question is -- Jamie Dimon he's been saying I am unwinding my prop trading desk.
This treasury desk is used to hedge -- and protect.
Our balance sheet but was it turns into a profit center.
You know he call on the first quarter or earnings call he said.
-- -- -- about the London -- moving the markets it's all a tempest in a teapot and now is coming out saying this was flawed it was poorly -- people who don't you don't I don't poorly monitored.
Poor oversight so you know -- changing dialogue going on behind the scenes.
Which went public Morgan chase and I know Jamie Dimon has been the standard -- For the virtues of banking and -- -- money is also climbing -- the evils of regulation.
And this to bring DCT coming on his door step even and more quickly Charlie.
Actually I would trade it I would say -- -- -- JPMorgan every -- this year's.
Probably it was never big into prop trading should also point out at every bank has an investment portfolio.
OK if they have billions of dollars that they have to but he used some -- It would be -- -- -- that she is a trade.
They do stocks.
They aren't they're hedging their book bit broader book of business because this -- a bank that does and resilient say.
Okay now.
I Greek debt bill will be rebuke Coles put a vocal rule making it even though there's probably is -- to do with the -- Tomorrow what we wake up we will hear.
Every democratic house member a member on the house but it serves committee talk about the -- there -- no doubt that we need to make strong.
Well let's make no mistake about it.
Thanks are in the business.
Of taking risk and -- hedging their bets.
Taking -- -- -- balance sheet that's what they do the bigger the bank the more they gonna do that more risk it is just.
If you really want a deal of this got to make banks.
There is no yeah.
There's no doubt that calls for heavy regulated more regulation.
-- are going to be sound.

MONTEREY, Calif- You may be able to go a little faster on some streets in Monterey. The city is raising some of the speed limits because of a new regulation coming down from Sacramento.
Now traffic engineers must take the speed 85% of drivers are traveling on a given section of roadway and round up or down to the closest 5 mph increment. That means an 85% driving speed of 33 mph rounds up to a 35 mph speed limit, while an 85% speed of 32 mph rounds down to 30 mph. Under the old system, traffic engineers could round speed limits down to the lowest 5 mph increment.
The City of Monterey Traffic Engineering Division conducted extensive surveys of driving speeds on city streets, as required by the new state law, to determine the new speed limits. Most of the new speed limits on city street sections go from 25 to 30 mph. But there are a few street sections where speed limits will be raised by 10-15 mph.
The Monterey City Council will hold a public hearing to consider increases in speed limits on November 15th at Few Memorial Hall on 580 Pacific Street.

anything new? maybe pluck v5? ar atleas v4,4?
Haha, no pluck 5 is not even at the horizon yet...
first 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7... etc
But 4.4 is now in development and almost ready, I think we'll see it released half September. I'll post a statusupdate and some screens on my blog today.
i already translated in to lithuanian, so include it in next release and in developers tab,
and maybe need some help? im very good at php and mysql, i could make fev classes like forum or shoutbox that u could include.
(p.s. i dont understand that your somp.nl ,language there is wery strange some sort of dutsh and spanish mix what language is it?
Yes, of course: lithuanian will be included in the next release. You can also look at http://www.pluck-cms.org/wiki/index.php?title=Languages for the status of different languages. But what do you mean exactly with developers-tab?
For 4.4 I don't need any help because it's almost ready. But after I've made a plan for 4.5, maybe you can help. I'll contact you when we're at that point, OK?
And I'll post the status-update here: http://www.somp.nl/blog/?act=category-view&category=1 in English, so don't worry. My native language is Dutch, why do you think of Spanish? haha
sorry my mistake not dutsh buth german(i dont understand dutsh)
u could include my name and weburl in translators in development tab
i would like to help very much, couse i have warm feelings about pluck, i used it's cms structure and css in my sites
Dutch actually has a lot in common with German. However I think German is far more difficult
Your name and website will of course be displayed on the pluck website, but after 4.4 has been released, because 4.3 doesn't contain your language yet.
Sorry that I didn't post the update on my blog yet, will do it today.

There are perhaps 10 restaurants in our experience where the food stands apart as something unique and special. This place is one of them. Our group of four shared the appetizers and mains so we got to try a wide range of dishes. Wow. The decor is modest with an air conditioned dining area as well as a patio. Service... More
The Ginger Garden was the best surprise we had in Nuevo for meals. This restaurant if you enjoy Thai food can't be missed! It has both air conditioned or patio seating and has done a great job at making it feel like you are in a cute little Thai restaurant. The drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic were fantastic. A... More
We followed the good reviews from Trip Advisor and tried Gingers. Great choice. The atmosphere was beautiful. You can dine inside or out. The menu was varied and offered us more tempting options than we could eat in one night…so we went back the next. The service could not have been any better. The chef stopped at our table to... More
What a discovery! Being patrons of the delightful coffee house (Zibaritas) next door to Ginger, we had no idea that such excellence would be reflected in its restaurant neighbour. Full timers in the area, we shall return, and return with friends to this uber-sophisticated, recently recreated (for even more comfort) piece of paradise. Non-alcoholic drinks of the lemon gingerade variety... More
loved the beautiful decor, enjoyed beautiful and delicious food, great service will eat here next visit.
We ate at Ginger Garden last night. The calamari was okay although the dipping sauce for it was excellent. I had the traditional pad Thai with chicken and it was a big serving and very good. My fiancé had the kung pao chicken and it had an excellent flavor, but was a smaller serving. We thought it was a little... More
After your second visit to Ginger's you are family. The staff remembers you and the service is always great. The menu is Asian/Thai. The duck is almost worth plane fare to PV. Try a specialty Saki based drink ... Lettuce wraps ... this is a good place.
Great food, pleasant atmosphere, excellent service. The menu offers a wide selection of Thai and Asian meals with prices in line with the quality of the food.
To be honest the food was really outstanding. Our favorite dish for apetizer that we would recomd is the mix plate, that give you 5 different flavor of their apetizer choices (tuna tartar, pork and veg. spring roll, coconut prawn, veg roll and a chiken satay.) Service is excelent as well as the drinks, we went on a thursday and... More

text: Drawing scientists from industry, government and academe, the Institute for Biotechnology at St. John's University celebrated its 10th anniversary in May by holding a major symposium on drug discovery and development. The Institute's 10th Anniversary Symposium, held May 14 at the University's Queens, NY, campus, featured prominent researchers who spoke on the latest advances and issues in the field. The speakers — and the 85 attendees — represented a broad cross-section of disciplines within the field, said Vijaya Korlipara, Ph.D., Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Director of the Institute for Biotechnology. The lecturers "highlighted state-of-the-art advances" in biotechnology, said Dr. Korlipara, who organized the event. Topics included the development of targeted chemotherapeutic agents; muscle metabolism in the treatment of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease and the use of natural products in drug discovery and design.Photo GalleryJulia Upton, RSM, Ph.D., Provost of St. John's University, welcomed the symposium's guests. Diane Hergenrother, Ed.D., Associate Provost for Academic Planning and Resource Management, recognized Diana Bartelt, Ph.D. , Associate Professor of Biological Sciences who served as the Founding Director of the Institute from 2002 until her retirement in 2010. The Institute offers an M.S. in Biological and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology. Drawing upon graduate courses from St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, the interdisciplinary program features a required, three-credit "Internship in Biotechnology." Through the course, students complete 15 weeks of practical experience at local biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.

Location isn't the best, and it had weird vibes and the elevator gets stuck on floor 4 and one night we were there the fire alarm kept going on and off for some unknown reason. Rooms are alright and clean over all, just be sure to Wikipedia this hotel before your stay if you are wondering why it's so cheap.

It's an older, refurbished hotel. lobby was spectacular, but the rooms were small and they feel old age, despite the fact that they were newly painted walls. We had a toilet in the room, but the toilets and showers were also in the hallways, so I conclude that not all rooms have them. Wi-fi connection is good, unless it is connected to power users. The hotel has a lot of floor and was much to see at night which was nice.

Overall the Cecil Is fine value for money. I woke up covered in bites after the first night from suspected bed bugs. Change room and had no problem. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom closest to our room for 3 of the 5 days we were there.

AMD today released this month's major update to its Catalyst software suite, Catalyst 11.7 WHQL. The new driver introduces a few major bug fixes, and provides WHQL-signed support for the recently released AMD A-Series APUs, apart from Radeon GPUs and AMD 8-series and 7-series chipset-integrated graphics. AMD claims to have fixed all outstanding issues related to cursor-lag; a variety of system hangs noted when using HDMI or DisplayPort outputs have been fixed; a number of video playback issues, some generic and some application-specific, were resolved; the "checkerboard" pattern display corruption issue related to Eyefinity on CrossFire setups in DirectX 10 games was fixed; and flickering issues related to Portal 2 were fixed. The driver doesn't introduce any new features or performance improvements, but with greater stability, improved performance should naturally follow. DOWNLOAD: AMD Catalyst 11.7 WHQL for Windows 7/Vista 64-bit | Windows 7/Vista 32-bit | Windows XP 32-bit | Windows XP 64-bit A list of changes follows. All issues experienced with mouse cursor lag have been resolved Resolves system hangs seen in the AMD Catalyst 11.6 driver on specific HDMI and DP displays Log event (Event ID 62464) issues when playing video content have been resolved Bluray playback using PowerDVD 10 under High Performance mode no longer randomly displays a blank screen. Bluray playback using PowerDVD 10 under High Performance mode no longer randomly hangs. Some Divx format files no longer display video corruption using WinDVD. AVIVO Video Quality settings are now correctly applied to Flash Video Content. AMD SteadyVideo is now applied to Home Video clips when using WinDVD 10. Random screen corruption is no longer displayed when changing desktop themes. Chequerboard corruption is no longer displayed intermittently when playing DirectX 10 titles in a Crossfire configuration with Eyefinity enabled. Shogun II now renders the cinematics correctly when run in various Eyefinity configurations. Video playback now works correctly when Hardware acceleration is enabled with VLC Player version 1.1.9. 720p Divx video clips no longer display stuttering when played using Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player. Crossfire now functions correctly when playing Hamilton's Great Adventure. Video corruption is no longer observed when when using the Forward slider on 720P Divx format video clips using Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. PowerDVD now correctly handles 3D Bluray content. Portal 2 no longer displays flickering on water surface textures with Medium and Low Shader detail settings. Image stabilization now functions correctly when playing Divx content using Windows Media Player. Wraparound corruption is no longer displayed intermittently after exiting a 3D application.
Guys with the new Samsung 120Hz 3D monitor should use the 11.8 preview driver here: ( Only for windows 7 x64) http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/Catalyst118DriverPreview.aspx •Enables AMD HD3D technology support on DisplayPort panels, such as Samsung 750 and 950 series 3D displays •Improves performance: ◦Up to 10% in Crysis 2 DirectX 11 version for both non-Anti-Aliasing, and application enabled Anti-Aliasing cases on the AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 and AMD Radeon HD 5000 ◦series of products ◦Up to 8% in Fear 3 DirectX 11 version with application enabled Anti-Aliasing on the AMD Radeon HD 6000 and AMD Radeon HD 5000 series of products ◦Up to 30% when AMD's Morphological Anti-Aliasing (MLAA) is enabled through the Catalyst Control Center on AMD Radeon HD 6000 and AMD Radeon HD 5000 series of products
I realize that and thanks E. Soo it takes so long before Microsoft certifies the driver AMD are probably on what driver, 11.11 by now?
Zero cursor lag, and 3DMark11 got a 37 point increase @ stock on the 11.7's and a 57 point jump on the 11.8 preview driver UPDATE: The preview driver ha a few different goodies in the overclocking department. I'm thinking it's going to be tied to Bulldozer but is also working on my X6 cpu.
Other than the certification, are these any different than the 11.6b drivers? As you know, the 11.6b drivers are displayed as 11.7 by CCC once installed.
With great stability, comes great performance. i think i heard that in the spiderman movie or something.
It looks the same on an Intel machine except there is now a user agreement thing the first time you click on overdrive, the tab is filled with "overclocking is not supported" bla bla do it at your own risk bla bla, then you have to agree before the overdrive tab opens.
11.8's are working well on my HD 5770 so far. Nice image quality too and the new goodies are actually integrated quite well from a first glance, maybe time will tell
Sure here you go, The cpu auto clock does work, you just need to let it run for 5min and stop it. That unlocks the greyed out sliders.
I am going to give the 11.7 a try now , As for the 11.8's I will wait till they are official . So are the new goodies only for AMD CPU's ? I mean I do not think that they would be a working viable solution for Intel CPU's .
Boom 1 point increase in Heaven bench mark(using 11.8) with everything maxed out .... yeah i rule Badda BOOOM!!! 12 point increase using 11.7 with caps

The SPECTROstar Nano from BMG LABTECH offers different possibilities to measure DNA in UV absorbance mode. If there is enough DNA material available and only a few samples that should be measured, cuvette measurements can be performed. For higher throughput a microplate should be used. If sample volume is very limited, then the LVis Plate is recommended as it offers a great linear range, a high sensitivity and only 2 µl of sample is needed.

"Crew of Monitor, Hampton Roads, Va. 1862"
Newport News, Virginia Saturday, March 24, 2012
The Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Virginia hosted a Civil War Navy Conference in early March to mark the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Hampton Roads, when for the first time, ironclads battled during the Civil War. In this session, David Alberg of the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary talks about the recovery and identification of human remains from the USS Monitor, the Union ship that faced off with the CSS Virginia near Hampton Roads in 1862. We also hear from genealogist Lisa Stansbury.

Maplewood Memorial Lawn Cemetery:
First Name
Last Name
Cemetery notes and/or description:
"Maplewood cemetery was so named September 28, 1869 following years of
inactivity and a civil war. It was readied for selling plots with an onslaught of sales August 2, 1870 among the many early purchasers was a Louisa Spencer. The west half of Block 9 was set aside for a "Potters Field", and the files in the office of the Association list over 600 names of people buried in that section. For these, no stones mark the graves.
"Maplewood Cemetery is now jointed with Memorial Lawn Cemetery and are under private ownership. There is an office on the grounds and records are well kept. They have been most helpful in suppling information to those who have family buried in the both cemeteries. Maplewood is the older cemetery with an old soldiers plot "soldiers acre", where many veterans of the Civil War are buried."

The Legal Context
Under Archives, the main legislative impacts are:
- The National Archives Act, 1986
- Local Government Act, 1994, Section 65
- Local Government Act, 2001, Section 80. This states clearly that 'it is a function of a Local Authority to make arrangements for the proper management, custody, care and conservation of local records…'.
Additional legislation has had impact on the above, including:
- Freedom of Information Act, 1997
- Freedom of Information (Amendment) Act, 2003
- Planning and Development Act, 2000
- Data Protection (Amendment) Act, 2003
- Health and Welfare at Work Act, 2005
Such Acts all impact heavily on the record-keeping practices of Local Authorities and must be acknowledged in the development of Local Authority archives services.
It is expected that new Guidelines for Local Authority Archives Services will acknowledge The Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 and other e-government initiatives.
A limited range of Statutes pertains to the Irish museum sector, with nothing defining the operation of museums outside the National Cultural Institutions www.irishstatutebook.ie. The main legislation is The National Monuments Act, 1930 and various Amendment Acts (1930-2004) along with a range of Statutory Instruments (1930-2005), together with The National Gallery of Ireland, Acts, 1854-1997.

Kermit Miller is the evening news anchor and state legislature reporter.
Officials in Cole County are not happy about the recently released Missouri Congressional redistricting map. Cole County Presiding Commissioner Marc Ellinger said the county is getting a raw deal in the new redistricting. He believes Cole County's needs and influence would take a back seat to those in Metro St. Louis. The redistricting happened after Missouri's population decreased enough to lose one congressional seat. The current map would condense St. Louis' three congressional seats into two – a move that does not make St. Louis residents happy. Committee members said their move is justified. "We looked at the population loss in the city," said Rep. Michael Brown, (D) Kansas City. "Those numbers are there. They're clear." The new plan also makes big changes to Mid-Missouri – an area that has remained congressionally consistent for decades. One of the biggest changes is the district in which Cole County sits. For decades, it has been in Ike Skelton's congressional district. After the 2010 election, it sat in freshman Representative Vicki Hartzler's territory. Not so anymore, if this plan is approved. "We know there's going to be a lot of shifting in lines," Hartzler said Monday before the map was released. "All I can say is we love Cole County and I hope I have the opportunity to serve it in the future." Hartzler does pick up an additional county, though – Boone County. There, the partisan balance is not in Hartzler's favor. Cole County, however, would turn east and become part of the new third congressional district. The district includes suburban St. Louis – Jefferson and St. Charles Counties. It's a move that concerns Ellinger. "Those two counties do not have the same commonality of interests as the center of the state," he said. Rep. John Diehl, (R) Town and Country, said his committee looked at the best ways to maintain geographical continuity and population balance before drawing the planned map. He said it was a challenge to find a way to make both requirements work in Missouri. But the committee is prepared to look at changes as long as it also meets the requirements. "When you change one thing on a map, it affects many other districts," Diehl said. Rep. Ron Casey, (D) Crystal City said Democrats are ready to offer changes. "Mr. Chairman, I believe we will be prepared to submit a substitute amendment to you," he said. Another meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, where committee members could vote on the final map. Rep. John Diehl talked to reporters about the proposed redistricting map after Wednesday's meeting.

May 3, 2002 "We left Luando in March and went directly to Cuemba I camp. We stayed there for one month and when we saw there was nothing to eat, we decided to come to Kamacupa. We left Luando because there was nothing to eat at all - nothing to eat, no clothes, no food - and also because of the war we didn't grow any crops. We heard that in Kamacupa there were some camps and the displaced people are supplied with some food, that is why we come here to Kamacupa." — 35 year old man from Luando "I left Mossinde village to Andulo to make some business - to get something to eat, something to wear. After some days there I was recruited by UNITA soldiers to join the army. I was trained for a couple of months and after I saw we were suffering a lot, I decided to leave. I was looking for some people where I could live as a civilian, then I was living together with an old man. I left Andulo in 1999, together with this old man, when we heard that government soldiers were coming to besiege Andulo municipality. We decided to leave the area in the direction of Cuemba. I forgot exactly when we were attacked, but we were attacked by government soldiers at Luando. There were so many, all of us civilians, and that's where I got injured by a bullet [in his foot]. We left the bush when we heard they signed the cease-fire - there is no more war, there is peace now in Angola. We came to Kamacupa to get any help from the government because before we were not allowed to leave the bush. Because if you decided to go to town, you were stopped. You had to flee, to run away, otherwise you would be killed. I hope I can get some crutches. And I want to go to Mossinde to find my family so they will look after me." — 19 year old from Kwanza Sul Province "I am an old lady. I don't know exactly how old I am because my father didn't tell me exactly and now my father has died. I was born in Ringoma. I left in 1980 for Umpulo, where I was married. I am the mother of 6 children - 3 are dead and 3 are living. We fled into the bush the first time we were attacked. Then we gathered and the whole family was living together. The second time we were attacked, we were separated - my husband was fleeing alone, me alone, the children also alone. I was lost in the bush alone. I could follow the group to Kwanza later on. We took almost seven days from Ringoma to here - almost seven days just walking, sleeping, walking, sleeping, without food. I don't have food yet. I'm waiting for them to give me a WFP card. My desire is to build a small house where I can live. Where, I don't know. Wherever they direct me I will build my house." — A woman from Ringoma "My name is Rosalie and I was born in 1988. We came here because of hunger. We walked one day and we didn't have any problems during our travel. We are four - 3 children and my mother. My father died. We don't have food yet [from the WFP] but we are eating some food that we brought with us from our village." — Young girl from Tchikala-Tcholohanga My name is Mario. I don't know how old I am. We left Cuemba because of hunger. We walked for three days from Cuemba to Kamacupa. It was tough. For the future, I want to attend school. We were not attending school in Cuemba because there were no teachers. They were witched by witchcraft." — Young boy from Cuemba "My name is Matteus. We came to Kamacupa from Cacunda because we were suffering a lot. Now we are receiving food. Before the war, life was very nice because we were growing crops, and with these crops we could barter and buy some clothes, some soap - whatever we wanted to buy with maize, for example, or some manioc, or some nuts. Life was good because we were growing crops. During the war it was difficult because we could try to cultivate, but after some days we would be attacked and would have to flee into the bush. When we returned to the village, we would find everything was stolen. Life was so difficult. — 70 year old man from Cacunda Interviews at MSF Center in Bunjei (May 11, 2002)"My name is Domingos and I am 47 years old. I was a catechist in the Evangelical church. My wife and I have 8 children - 4 have died in the last month. My son died 2 days ago on the way from Vicungo to here [Bunjei]. My wife and two children just left for Caala [in an MSF truck] because they are sick. I will stay here with the other two. — 47 year-old man from Vicungo "My name is Cecilia. I was born in Cuche. I am married and my husband stayed in the military camp at Galange. I came here with 3 children, but they are not suffering from hunger. They are just sick. — 30 year-old woman coming from Galange |

Saddened by village's loss
We are pleased to see Breau's Too doing a brisk business in their newly renovated space. It's great to see activity after the building had been vacant for so long. Not having to drive to Bethel for food and gas is very convenient (we hope they also bring back movie rentals!).
As happy as we are about Breau's, we are equally saddened by the closing of the Feeding Friendzy. We have enjoyed both the delicious treats and the friendly conversation with Wendy.
Although a lot of the local tourist dollars are spent in Greenwood, Bethel or Newry, most of these same visitors pass through Bryant Pond Village on their way to Mt. Abram, Bethel and Sunday River.
Having successful small businesses is a great way to capture some of these tourist dollars as well as provide services to the local community — we would rather spend our dollars here. It would have been great to have both Breau's Too and the Feeding Friendzy in the heart of Bryant Pond Village. These complimentary businesses may have been a draw for additional businesses. Instead, it appears we traded one vacant building for another.
We do not know the nuances behind the current situation, but hope there are plans to attract and retain small businesses in our Village. We wish Breau's Too continued success, and believe that additional businesses would be beneficial to them as well. If someone stops to go into one business, they are more likely to check out the others.
As SKI Magazine illustrated, our Village has all the potential to be a must stop for locals and tourists alike, and this would be a true reflection of Bryant Pond as a whole. After all, this is Maine, "The Way Life Should Be."

- Jogyesa Temple
Jogyesa Temple is the center of Zen Buddhism in Korea, and is famous for being located in the city. From the busy streets of Jongno, follow the road towards Anguk Subway Station, and you will see Jogyesa Temple. The first things you will notice at the temple are the lovely trees. These locust trees and baeksong trees in front of the Daeungjeon, the main temple building, are about 500 years old.
- Presidential Blue House
The symbol of Cheongwadae (known to westerners as the Blue House or the presidential residence), is the blue tiles. The first thing that catches your eye when you arrive at Cheongwadae is the blue tiles of the main building. The blue tiles and the smooth roof are in beautiful harmony with Mt. Bugaksan behind it. As the Blue House represents Korea, the blue tiles and the smooth curve of the roof represents the beauty of Korea.
- Changing of the Guard Ceremony
Every day visitors to Gyeongbok palace can watch a reenactment of the ¡°Changing of the Royal Guards¡± ceremony, which takes place at the Gwanghwamun and Heungnyemun plazas. The royal guards of the Joseon Dynasty (1392~1910) were in charge of protecting the gates of the capital city and the royal palace.
- Gyeongbok Palace
Built in 1395, Gyeongbok Palace is also commonly referred to as the ¡°Northern Palace¡± because it is located more toward the north, compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeok (Eastern Palace) and Gyeonghee (Western Palace). Gyeongbok Palace is arguably the most beautiful and remains the grandest of all the five palaces.
- The National Folklore Museum
The National Folk Museum displays the lifestyle of ancient Koreans. There are 20,000 vestiges, with a total of 4000 folk relics. In the Center Hall there is traditional culture or folk related exhibits. The ¡°Hall of Korean Lifestyle¡± shows the lifestyles of Koreans from pre-historic times to the Joseon Period (1392~1910). You can compare the cultural characteristic and vestiges by period and you can see the development of pottery, agricultural implements and prints.
- Changdeok Palace
Changdeok Palace is the second royal villa built after Gyeongbok Palace in 1405. Changdeok was the principal palace for many of the Joseon kings, and is the best preserved among the five remaining royal Joseon palaces. The rear garden that was used as a place of rest by the kings boasts a gigantic tree that is over 300 years old, a small pond, and a pavilion. The palace grounds are comprised of a public palace area, a royal family residence building, and the rear garden.
- Insadong Arts & Crafts Market
Insadong has been at the heart of nation¡¯s capital for 600 years and it has been the center of culture during the Chosun Dynasty (1392-1910). This is where the Ministry of Art was once situated. Insadong usually refers to the area from Anguk-dong Rotary to Tapgol Park in Jongro 2(i)-ga, past the Insadong Intersection. The notable features of Insadong are the countless alleys that branching out from the main street. Insadong has become known as ¡®Merry¡¯s Area,¡¯ a favorite shopping spot among foreigners.
- Namdaemun Traditional Market
Opened in 1964, Namdaemun Market is the first largest traditional market in Korea with various goods in store such as children¡¯s, men¡¯s and women¡¯s wear. The displayed goods are sold at a reasonable price and it also functions as a wholesale market. Most of the goods are produced directly from shopkeepers. Namdaemun Market is opened from 11:00 pm and at 3:00 am, it is crowded with retailers from all over the country. At daybreak, the site of busy Koreans creates a unique scene in the market where it is becoming a worldwide tourist attraction.

I had a great time meeting my fellow tour takers, and was shocked to learn my tour guide studied English where I went for graduate school. Our driver was also a video game master, so that's a plus. I really enjoyed all the stops on the tour. Even the Ginseng center's museum was interesting. The buildings were amazing to see and the tour guide knew quite a lot about how people lived back in the day. I 100% recommend this tour to anyone interested in Korean history, architecture, or shopping

Read more about Central African Republic
During ten years of civil war, Burundi's civilians have been subject to systematic and unrelenting violence. The life expectancy has plummeted from 60 to 40, and nearly 300,000 Burundians have been killed. In the two years since a power-sharing agreement lifted hopes, the war grinds on in Burundi's cities and countryside. With only one physician for every 100,000 people (one of the worst ratios in the world), the violence and lack of medical services have left the vast majority of people with no access to health care. Where rebel groups and government forces are at war, violence against civilians, including rape by armed combatants, is a daily occurrence. Governments in the neighboring countries hosting the 790,000 Burundian refugees are pressuring the refugees to return home, yet resettlement programs managed by international agencies are poorly organized and underfunded. In the capital, Bujumbura, the veneer of calm provided by the peace process was shattered in July 2003 when the Forces for National Liberation (FNL), the only rebel group that refused to join the power-sharing agreement, relentlessly shelled the city. The ten-day attack claimed hundreds of lives and forced tens of thousands to flee their homes. Since then, and despite a recent breakthrough in talks between the government and the main rebel group, attacks on civilians continue in the capital and rural areas, underlining the grim truth that in this country supposedly at peace, no one is safe.

Great product

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Large Print Check Register:
1. I have been using a small notebook to keep track of my checkbook since my register ran out. 2. Saw these online and decided to order a few, am back to order more. Note: they would not fit in a check book but that is not an issue with me since I don't take my check book out of the house. I like this because there is a lot of room for each transaction-i.e. you can write down what you purchased with a debit card. The spiral binding to me makes them easier to use than a typical register. Also might be good for someone with aging eyesight as it is very easy to read what is pre-printed.
I would recommend this item to my family

About Me Budget Shopper
Since I have started using this item I have not gone back to the small registers the bank gives you along with the checks. Cover could be a bit thicker, but all in all these are the best registers I have ever used.
I love this register
By Bobbie
from Richmond, VA
I like the large print, it makes my Banking so much easier because I can see the register as those compared to the Bank registers. It could be constructed better, and more pages for my buck, I believe the register was more sturdy and also more pages for my money, I would forever use this register.

About Me Value Oriented
It's basically an enlarged check register that has several pages, which means it will last a long time. But for what you get, I think I paid too much for it.

I coordinate our family reunions. It is easy to maintain payments that are made, if balance is close enough for the trip. Sometimes I am asked to hold monies for them, easy to keep track of what they have spent and whats left to spend.

BOXING: Scadden makes stunning debut for Priorswood ABC
7:10am Monday 29th October 2012 in Somerset Sport
JACK Scadden of Priorswood ABC produced a stunning left hook to clinch a first round victory on debut at Combe Martin in Devon.
Scadden, who goes to Bishop Fox's school in Taunton, was matched with the home club's George Stanbury, a relative veteran contesting his fifth bout, but the 14-year-old comfortably repaid the confidence of his trainers.
As the bell sounded Scadden was greeted by an onslaught of punches and found it hard to get his boxing skills going. But he bided his time before landing a blow flush on Stanbury's chin which sent him sinking to the canvas.
Stanbury gamely tried to get to his feet but was unable to stand up unaided and the referee had no choice but to stop the contest.
Priorswood, run by former professionals Dale Nixon and Courtney Thomas, are just starting their first season and already have 15 active boxers and about 25 members under their guidance.
They train at the former Rowbarton Boys Club, now known as Taunton North Youth Club, opposite Selworthy School.
Training sessions are on Monday and Wednesdays from 7pm to 9pm and anyone interested is welcome to go along.

Ltd. Edition TAG Heuer Steve McQueen Motorcycle Helmet
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches, Luxury Cars & Autos
In November 2009 my colleague Jeremy Korzeniewski wrote about Triumph and TAG Heuer joining forces to create a one-of-a-kind Bonneville Heuer motorcycle inspired by Steve McQueen and the Porsche 917 that the famous actor, racecar driver and motorcycle rider piloted in the classic film Le Mans. Unfortunately the super-cool bike was never offered for sale. Now however TAG Heuer has come out with a limited edition motorcycle helmet also inspired by the King of Cool, who wore a Heuer Monaco watch in the film. The retro-styled fiberglass helmet, which features a racing stripe matching the colors on McQueen's driving gear, vintage Heuer logo, steel hardware and leather trim, is priced at about $650.

Comments about SmartWool Wintersport Stripe Socks - Kids':
These socks are great for keeping kids warm from 45 degrees down to below zero. My kids wear them every day from October into April. Worth every penny. I have tired REI wool socks and several other smartwool wool socks, including several "hiker" ones. These are the best because: 1. they stay up 2. over the calf makes them super warm 3. great moisture wicking 4. I don't worry about my kid going out to recess during colder months 5. They have worn super well. I have passed these socks down through 3 kids! (makes price worth it).

Customer Reviews
Nice style. One was defective!
These are Sconces are a great value and have a nice style . But unfortunately one was defective. Great thing was that YL sent me a new one right away. Now that's By:Michael G. , Homeowner (Draper, UT USA)
great value
This piece is a wonderful addition to our bath and is a great value! Highly recommended. By:Pam A. , Homeowner (New York, NY)
This is very nice sconce!
Beautifully designed, easy to install, great product! By:Boris B. , Homeowner (Redwood CITY, ca)
Great contemporary light for the bathroom
Just what I was looking for. Nice clean lines perfect for a contemporary bathroom. By:Mavis C. , Homeowner
a very satisfied customer
Delivery was quick & the product is sleek and high quality. By:christina (Poughkeepsie, NY)
Clean lines, great value.
We installed this light in a small guest bath and the it did a brilliant job illuminating the entire room. The simple design is great for any bathroom requiring neutral lighting options. By:Sabrina B , Homeowner (Cincinnati, Ohio)
not sure it's best for the bathroom
We loved the simple and elegant design of these lights so we bought 2. One for our vanity area and one in our bathroom next to the shower. The one in the bathroom has started rusting from the moisture. We've only had it for about 2 years. Surely it has to last longer than that. Now I'm having to look for a replacement. :( By:cristina , Architect (walnut creek, california)
A nice light with a modern look that fits nicely in our home decor.
I thought these were very nice lights. Were delivered well packaged in a timely manner. Looked exactly as pictured on the internet so there were no surprises when we received the lights. Great Light! By:CHELSIE K. , Homeowner (WI)
Fast shipping, nice package and good price. This light looks great and bright up my bathroom. By:Dottydot (Big apple city)
Good Price for nicely designed light.
It looks perfect in my bathroom, sleek design with plenty of light. By:sarah , Architect (VA)
Looks great and easy to install. Perfect if you are looking for a lighting update on a budget (relatively speaking). Ylighting has fast shipping and everything was well packaged and intact when it arrived. Great product! By:Chris (San Francisco)
Simple Modern Solution
We wanted to update the lighting in our guest bath without spending an arm and a leg on something we wouldn't take with us when we moved. This piece fit the bill. Casts good light and the shape was perfect for the low ceilings in our room. Easy installation, but I'm not crazy about buying special sized bulbs (T10) for this fixture. All in all a good purchase. By:Cara B. , Homeowner (Anaheim, CA)
I think this light has good design and functionality.
I have always liked George Kovacs products. The wall sconce works great in bathrooms to provide nice accent light at mirrors. By:Kevin L. , Architect (St. Louis, Mo, USA)
This is one of my favorite bath lights!
It's versatile and modern...perfect for residences and at a good price. By:Ryan M. , Designer (Seattle, WA.)
could have been the best...
seems very poor design that you can only set it horizontally, I wanted to buy about 8-12 of these, but now I am not since it can only be put one way. sorry. I don't need the headache to try to get my elecrician to modify the outlet or base to manipulate it... too bad. sorry. By:Mike , Designer (Kansas City)
I'VE USED THESE IN SEVERAL OF MY REMODELS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CLEAN AND CONTEMPORARY LOOK, THIS IS THE WAY TO GO. YLIGHTING IS A GREAT PLACE TO BUY YOUR LIGHTING NEEDS. THANKS AGAIN YLIGHTING!!!! By:Terry Y. , Homeowner (TORRANCE, CA. USA)
Very nice!
Sleek, high quality fixture for a reasonable price. By:Darcy M. , Homeowner
Great light, great service!
I enjoy shopping on YLighting, especially just being able to "see all" of a category and scroll through it. By:Mark P. , Homeowner
Love it.
Bought this for my kids bathroom and loved it so much I put it in ours. Modern, simple, just what I was looking for. By:Kelli , Homeowner (South Carolina)
Exactly the modern look I was looking for in my half bath.
Easy to install. Keep in mind that you must buy a bulb and that the light produced by the recommended bulb has a bit of a yellowish tint to it. By:Rosie , Homeowner (Rhode Island)
Great looking light for powder room
We need a light with a switch on it, so the picking were slim, especially in the big box stores. Y Lighting had a great selection of contemporary, stylish lights and this one fit the bill. My husband installed it with no problem. Looks great and casts a nice glow. By:Mom , Homeowner (Dayton, Ohio, United States)
Awesome Feature
I bought it for my powder room, is modern and simple and looks so great that i will buy another one for another bath.... By:Lis , Homeowner (Pittsburgh,Pa)
BEAUTIFUL BATHROOM SCONCES. GREAT MODERN/CONTEMPORARY LOOK FOR THE MONEY..... By:Robert R. , Homeowner (CORAL GABLES, FL)
Beautiful fixture
We positioned light horizontally over the mirror in two of our smaller bathrooms. It is a beautiful fixture and was easy to install. The two-light sconce is not very bright, so is best suited for half baths or bathrooms with other light sources. By:Susan C , Homeowner (Arlington, VA, US)
Not too happy
Liked the clean design. But have become increasingly bothered by the fact that the T10 bulbs light only half of each tube as they extend only half way giving the appearance that half of each tube is very dirty. Really can't take it any more, looking for a replacement. By:Jane , Homeowner (New York)
Simple, Affordable, and great looking Fixture!
My wife and I are doing a small renovation that started to add up quickly. We opted for this Kovacs in our bathroom. By:Tom L. , Homeowner (Aspen, CO)
Handsome Light
Performs and looks just as I expected. By:Darrick , Designer (Astoria, NY)
Excellent and stylish product
This product is a good buy and it looks fabulous in my bathroom. This fixture emits enough lighting to perform appropriate tasks in the bathroom. By:Leonard J. , Homeowner (Maryland)
Simple & functional
We used these in a bathroom renovation that focused on simple lines and two colors: white & light orange. They give great light while not taking up any literal or aesthetic space. Sometimes less is more, and this is one of those times. By:Debbie M , Homeowner (Palm Springs, CA)
Great looking light but may not fit small bathrooms
Ordered the fluorescent version and it offers a clean contemporary look. Buyers with small bathrooms should be careful because the light requires almost two feet sideway clearance to change a blown bulb. By:Kwan , Homeowner (Mclean, VA)
Looks good and satisfies energy efficiency requirements
Looked as it did on-line. Relatively easy to install. Frosted glass gives nice glow with good, bright light. Would purchase again. Y-Lighting experience very positive and helpful when called for follow-up on order status etc. By:Marc B. , Homeowner (Laguna Beach, CA)
look great
Very nice & simple design. By:Madeline L. , Homeowner (Mt. Pleasant, SC)
Great mid-century modern light!
We were looking for something with simple lines and well constructed for over our guest bathroom vanity...this is it! We are going to use a single light over the mirror. We 'tested' the light, and will be able to use two more in the master bathroom on the vertical axis. To cool. By:John K. , Homeowner (Raleigh, NC)
Excellent option in its price range
This is a standard for us. Hard to find nice, clean, modern By:Christopher K. , Architect (Austin,TX)
Simple and stylish
Very nice looking product and looks fantastic in our newly renovated bathroom. No more diffiuclt to install than any other lighting product. Would highly recommend it! By:Cynthia , Architect (DC)
Well constructed, good price, clean modern look
We like these sconces for our new, small bathroom. Two American Standard vessel sinks and faucets, two Kohler small recessed mirrored cabinets and two of these sconces each with 2 60 wt. candelabra bulbs. My wife says that she has plenty of light for makeup. I put them on a dimmer. By:James D. , Homeowner (Woodville, MS)
Great modern classic
Love this light, clean and simple ...a modern classic. By:Marko , Designer (CT, USA)
Great fixture for the price
Had looked all over for a simple bathroom vanity light that took incandescent rather than fluorescent bulbs (under $200) and found this George Kovacs sconce. It was shipped quickly (when I sent an email to CS they responded immediately), packed well and was easy to install. The fixture has a nice finish and the shades look lovely with incandescent bulbs. Takes two T10 60W bulbs which can be difficult to find (not stocked at my local Home Depot or Lowes) so definitely order some when ordering the sconce so that you can light it up once installed. By:Sinead F.
great looking, well made fixture for the price.
great contemporary lines. energy efficient flourescent lamps provide good color rendering, but beware that the overall light output is not tremendous. Your bathroom should have supplemental overhead lights as well. By:Seattle S. , Architect (seattle, wa)
Not recommended!
Any lamp casing that involves a glass screw is very delicate. By:Pete , Architect
Quality fixture, great price
The design is simple and emits enough light for a small bathroom. Recommend ordering the fluorescent model--it lights up the entire glass shade. By:B.B. , Homeowner (TX)
Simple and stylish
Clean, simple design. Perfect for small bathroom renovation. By:C.B. , Architect (Washington,DC)
Love the lights!
Great finish to my remodeling of my bathroom! By:David N. , Homeowner (Rochester New York)
Beautiful - perfect over mirror
We used this light in two bathrooms; both above the wall mirror behind the vanity/sink. The light is even, and the fixture is clean & crisp looking. We find the light to be enough for us but it may not provide enough light if it is the only fixture in a room. The light uses either t-10 bulbs or candle bulbs (up to 60W each) if you purchase the incandescent version. A standard incandescent bulb is too wide to fit within the glass diffusers. We don't care for fluorescents in the bathroom - the light cast by them is disturbing. The light was easy to install on a standard box, and all the necessary hardware was included. We combined this light with the Robert Abbey Nina Corta mounted on the ceiling and they look terrific together. By:Treehouse , Homeowner (Beachwood OH USA)
A sure hit!
I enjoy Kovacs clean modern lines. He has some whimsy in his designs. I use his lighting often. By:Rosemary W. , Designer (Healdsburg, CA)
Great basic
This vanity light is well made, has clean lines and is suitable for any bathroom style. By:Audrey M. , Architect (New Haven, CT)
I'm very pleased with this product.
This light is just what I was needed for a small powder room. Simple and stylish, casts the perfect amount of light and looks great. And - arrived very quickly! By:Adam (New York)
Beautiful lighting, cool retro design
Great light, very well represented online. Installed myself which i have only done with lighting one other time. By:Jill M. , Homeowner (Seattle, WA)
Modern light for our new bathroom renovation
By:Joshua B. , Homeowner (NY)
Simple and modern
Very simple, yet modern lighting. Perfect for my powder room. By:Juliana , Homeowner
Beautiful and streamline fixture, applicable horizontally or vertically.
We installed this fixture horizontally and it looks amazing. The light cast is soft and warm, perfect for a very modern bathroom. By:Robert D. , Designer (Chicago,IL)
Great style but Came broken.
Very nice light but one of the glass shades was broken in transit. Sleek but substantial. By:Cynthia F. , Homeowner (Washington, DC)
Very nice...good value
It's a nice looking light and provides good lighting for a small bathroom. Much nicer than I found at the big box stores. I am happy with it. By:Ben , Homeowner (Michigan )
I'm happy with this product.
I got a great deal on these lights because I bought them as open box items. They look great in our master bathroom. By:Susan S. , Homeowner (Newton, MA, USA)
I'm happy with this product.
I got a great deal on these lights because they were open box. They look great in our master bathroom. By:Susan S. , Homeowner (Newton, MA, USA)
Beautiful product. Just be aware that you must use a skinny bulb that fits into the glas.
By:Hansueli R. , Homeowner (Durango, CO)
Measure twice, order once?
Love the light, but space was too small for this fixture. Finishing up our new house and realized after everything was in that the light is 1" too wide for our tiny gust bath. Too bad, I like the design. By:Amy , Homeowner (Piedmont, CA, USA)
Very modern, great light!
The product arrived in time. It is just the look I was looking for, very modern and simple. Perfect light! Right price. By:Isabel , Architect (Miami)
Great Bathroom Lights
We've ordered 2 sets of these sconces and they are beautiful and simple at the same time. Based on the wattage you use, they actually provide a huge amount of light. By:Sylvia , Homeowner (Phoenix, AZ)
What you would expect for a hundred bucks
I ordered these for a bathroom remodel. Upon receiving them I returned them. Don't get me wrong they are a nice looking fixture, but the fit and finish was that of a hundred dollar fixture. My mistake. By:Csc23 , Homeowner (Nebraska)
Good value!
Fixture is well made and not too expensive. By:K.Y. , Designer (San Francisco)
Excellent Value!
For the price I found this light to be perfect. Looks more expensive, light output is great for my bathroom (about 14x5), and the quality is great. We bought the fluorescent version. Highly recommended. By:Tony R. , Homeowner (Scottsdale,AZ)
Looks good
The fixture is very nice looking. However, it uses special tubular bulbs for which there is no CFL equivalent. Further the bulbs are around 5" long. In order to install the bulbs easily there needs to be about 6" on either side of the diffusers or the fixture needs to be installed in a 36" wide space. This limits the applications in which the fixture can be installed. By:Rob , Designer (Cambridge MA)
Return customer
I bought lighting and a fan from Y Lighting in the past and once again, the sconces are beautiful. Although Y Lighting products are typically beyond my budget, these same sconces were more expensive at a local store and even other sites. They are still in the box awaiting installation in the master bath once work begins on the renovation. By:J.H. , Homeowner (Evanston, Il)
Does not light across entire shade, very disappointed
I thought that by using a long incandescent bulb - at $6 each- there would be light across the whole tube. Not so. The ends look grey. Very disappointed in these over the bathroom mirror. By:R.K. , Homeowner (Westchester, NY)
Does not light across entire shade, very disappointed.

A great light that I've used in more then just bathrooms.
By:Jon G. , Designer (Lake Oswego, OR)
Good-looking fixture.
I can't speak to how well it lights the room yet because it's still in the box awaiting installation by my electrician but it's a good-looking fixture. And very reasonable priced. As many others have said, Ylighting is a pleasure to buy from. By:Carol , Homeowner (Washington, DC)
