The good: Wired and wireless usage modes; high polling rate ensures seamless wireless connection, even at high resolutions; onboard memory lets you take your profiles and macros on the road.
The bad: Most expensive gaming mouse; no on-the-fly macro recording; clunky USB cable a hassle to plug into the mouse.

Okay, but has some poor design decisions

It seems the cons didn't send properly:
I preferred my old Logitech G7 which, while was not quite as physically robust, didn't suffer from any of these issue and much more thought seems to have gone into it.
From my experience with their products and their technical support, Razer seems to be a company where they think of a few key features that people may want, then rush out a product and don't care about solving any of the issues the users have reported.

The sensor algorithm - If you lift the mouse up and down vertically, the cursor moves towards the bottom right of the screen. If you tap on the top of the mouse, this issue causes the cursor to slowly drift in that direction.
The little rubber pads on each side - As your fingers press against these, the ends of the pads lift away from the double-sided tape holding them on and they slide out from the little cutouts. It's quite annoying to have to keep sliding them back into place.
The battery - The lack of easily inter-changeable "Hot swappable" batteries means that if you forget to leave it on charge overnight, you will need to plug the mouse in in-order to use it. It's quite annoying to not be able to use it wirelessly indefinitely.
The drivers / firmware - My mouse has an issue where sometimes when it's turned on, the buttons will work but mouse movement does not. I also find the configuration software to be a bit too messy and flashy.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.
A gaming mouse but not a wireless gaming mouse
by Kaykool101 on July 26, 2010

Cons: Wireless is not actually wireless at all.

Summary: I play World of Warcraft and I do so on a gaming laptop. As I play on a laptop my goal is to minimize wires. I alreay have to deal with wires to my cooling device and power cord. Adding a wire for a mouse is not desirable. But I need a wireless mouse that performs. Previously, I was using a Logitech MX Revolution which with set point allowed for great customization of the buttons. However at only 800 dpi the speed was limiting. So when I broke the receiver for the second time I decided it was time to get a gaming wireless mouse.
I have a logitech G500 and it basically performs similar to that. The razer software was not as easy to use, but I imagine if I spent more time with it I would figure it out.
But I won't be spending more time with it. If I wanted a wired gaming mouse I would be just fine with my Logitech G500. And so would any of you that are considering this mouse for wired purposes. I bought the mouse because it was 'wireless' which was compeletly unture.
The wireless option requires that you plug the charging base into your computer. And the charging base has to be connected via the very same wire I was trying to get away from. I didn't get it. I still don't get it. There is no place for this brand of wireless on a laptop and why would you use a wireless gaming mouse on a desk top. I suppose if you use the wired while gaming and the wirless for entertainment, such as watching movie on netflix or something.
At a suggested retail price of 130.00 you shouldn't be having to deal with trade-offs. The mouse is beautiful and performs very well. It fits comfortably in your hand. But so do alot of other gaming mice at lower price points. It doesn't even have some of the expected features of the high end gaming mice, like changable weights and grips. It is most easily compared to mid-priced gaming mice like the logitech G500 or some of the cheaper razers. Without true wireless, it does not offer a single feature that justifies it 130.00 price tag.
They have alot of stats on the packaging about speed and sensitivity. While I am sure they are not lying about its stats, they seem to be unneccsary enhancements as I could not tell an improvement from the G500 or steelseires World of Warcraft mouse (which I also have).1 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.
Solid Device
by sc0rp10nz on March 17, 2010
Pros: Comfortably fits in hand. feels very sold. the wireless functionality is great - i have experienced absolutely no delays or hesitations while in wireless mode. well crafted and sits easily in charger when used wirelessly.
Cons: It is difficult to remove the cord from the mouse in order to allow for wireless functionality.
Summary: I really like this mouse. if you are not an advite gamer, the price may be to expensive, but otherwise. it is well worth the money.

simply put, this is amazing
by reclaimer0719 on September 1, 2009
Pros: extremely sensitive mouse, a battery saving sleep mode, works from like twenty feet away, and it has four customizable buttons for gaming.
Cons: sometimes when using the mouse for normal usage, it is a bit too sensitive when you first start using the mouse. other thanthat its great.
Summary: with a steep price range, its probably better to get one of the wired mice, but i love the mamba, it is the best mouse i have ever used.

Summary: I've used this mouse for about a year and a half until it died. It was pretty expensive to buy, but I wanted a wireless, full size Razer mouse. It's comfortable to use and fits my hand perfectly with a long-lasting battery and glides like a dream. Adjustable dpi settings are also great.
However, the build quality could be so much better, particularly for the price. After a year and a half of moderate usage, it needs to be replaced. The buttons are over responsive, double-clicking at random points. For buttons that are already a little too sensitive, this is an issue. And for the price, it's an even bigger issue. -

Summary: This a good mouse, and I have been happy with it for over a year now. I bought mine refurbished from woot.com so that may be the cause of some of my cons. Regardless of those, I still recommend this mouse to a gamer who wants a wireless mouse
Certainly the best mouse I've ever used.
by BenIVXX on May 15, 2011
Pros: The single millisecond polling is probably unnecessary, but compared to a standard mouse - It feels more like an extension of my hand/mind.
Cons: It's expensive.

Summary: It's an amazing mouse, I paid $150 for it from Razer themselves. It's pretty good, just that sometimes it locks up, that gets annoying however. it is a freakin dust magnet. (that's a general issue for all things lol) I love how I can make it wired and wireless.
Should be way better for the price
by Mergatroid Mania on December 3, 2010
Pros: Nice feel, nice buttons. Looks sleek.
Cons: Doesn't always wake up, no tilt on the scroll wheel, horrible charging cable, very low battery capacity.

Summary: I had a Logitech MX Revolution. It is an awesome mouse but after four or so years I have worn out the buttons. I went out looking for the best wireless mouse and I came home with the Mamba. I set it all up and got it charging. I noticed how much of a pain it is to plug the cable into the charging base/receiver. I played and played, moving it around and wiggling it. Eventually it FINALLY plugged in. After setup I plugged the cable into the mouse to charge it up good. It worked great while it was charging but using it I found I really missed the side to side rocker movement of the Revolution scroll wheel. I used the mouse for the night. When I removed the cable after charging I found it was a very delicate procedure. I was afraid something might break when I was trying to pull the cable out of the mouse (yes, I did use the little button). I have read several complaints about this same thing (including the CNET review). Next night I was using it wirelessly, and I couldn't get the computer (win 7 64) to "wake up" the mouse. All I could get was the right button to work. I had to unplug the receiver several times before the mouse started working. I looked around on the 'net and I found quite a few people having the same problem.
Well, I have had a weekend to play with the Logitech G700. It suffers from the same battery problem the Mamba does. It only lasts 5 or so hours on a charge. At least it uses standard AA NiMH batteries so you can swap them out, but it's still a step backwards for wireless gaming mice. I am going to return it and try a Microsoft Sidewinder X8 on Monday. CNET and MS claim the battery will last 30 hours (another standard AA NiMH). We'll see....
The final straw for me was coming home the next day (after letting the mouse charge all night and all day), and started gaming. The battery only lasted from 5:30pm to 11:00pm. That's only 5.5 hours. I'm sorry, but that's simply not good enough. My MX Revolution would last 4 days when it was new (heavy gaming), and now after about four years it still lasts two days of heavy gaming. In this day and age there is no excuse for a device like this not to be able to last at least a couple of days on a charge.
I took this mouse back and bought the Logitech G700. So far it feels every bit as good as the Mamba, and it was about 1/3 of the price. It has the same polling rate and the same sensitivity. It has more buttons, and the superior Logitech scroll wheel. It also plugs in for charging the same way the Mamba does without being afraid to break it when you remove the cable from the mouse.
I hear people say the Mamba is for "serious gamers" (whatever that is). I play computer games a TON. 5-6 hours a night after work, and 15 hours per day on the weekend is not uncommon for me. A "serious gamer" requires a mouse that will not conk out in the middle of gaming. Even with a cable, you still have to stop and plug the cable in. On top of this the poor cable attachment, basic scroll wheel and poor battery life means don't bother with the Mamba. I have a roomate with the Razer Naga, he likes it but he has a similar problem with the mouse being picky about what USB port it's plugged into. He HAS to plug it into his keyboard or it will not operate properly. On Razer's site and other sites more people also have the same problem with this mouse. I think Razer needs to work on their electronics.
If I have any problems with the Logitech G700 I'll take it back and try the Microsoft Sidewinder X8.

This parking lot AND the people running it were without a doubt the BEST folks I have ever dealt with for pay parking. I got the spot I wanted, there's great security, clean rest rooms and the service couldn't be better if you were family.
employees were courteous and helpful. good location to multiple venues.
Easy to find close to Philips arena.
This is an open air asphalt parking lot that runs between Luckie St NW and Marietta St NW next to an unoccupied business with company signs that have been covered with large yellow and red signs that say "Public Parking". This location is a short walk to both the Georgia Dome and Philips Arena and the perfect parking location for the Georgia Aquarium as well as other venues in the area.
This location is a business.
Preferred parking for Centennial Olympic Park, Georgia World Congress Center, American Cancer Society center, Omni Hotel at CNN Center, The World of Coca-Cola.
Located on Luckie St NW just past the bend south of Ivan Allen Jr Blvd and north of Baker St. and directly across Luckie St from the Georgia Aquarium. You can also enter from Marietta St NW between the same two streets as mentioned above.
0.36 miles from Georgia Dome

The all-white light works of Iván Navarro at the Frost Art Museum at FIU are deceptively simple. The title of the museum's main exhibit up for Art Basel Miami Beach even underscores this, matter-of-factly called "Iván Navarro: Fluorescent Sculptures." But this internationally acclaimed, Chilean-born artist is anything but simple, and his sculptures transcend the clichéd neon light-art output we too often are subjected to today.
In town for just a few days to install the show, on his way to Istanbul, Turkey, for another exhibition of his work, the affable but unassuming sculptor is excited about this Miami premiere, the first time that his "Nowhere Man" series is being shown in one place in the United States (a version of it was unveiled in London in 2009).
Navarro has a dizzying array of influences, from obscure and avant-garde designers of the early 20th century, to light pioneer Dan Flavin and punk bands such as Joy Division. A child of the oppressive Pinochet regime during a turbulent and violent time, his work is political and carries subtle and serious commentary. Yet he remains fundamentally a tinkerer, someone as fascinated with electrical cords and light sockets as with intellectual art criticism. Based in New York since 1997, he intentionally rejects many of the high-tech gadgets that people employ today in favor of cheap, easily procurable fluorescent light tubes -- and his forms remain purposefully clean and basic.
These sculptures are easy to look at and complex to contemplate, a great combination.
So what are these nowhere men? They are crafted from the most common four sizes of fluorescent tubes, and are based on pictograms drawn by Otl Aicher for the 1972 Munich Olympics (that sports event is of course forever tainted because of the slaughter of Israeli athletes). Aicher's initial drawings are simplicity at its core, black-and-white circles and lines depicting completely anonymous figures performing Olympic sports – swimming, running, jumping. Navarro took this blueprint and made similarly faceless, genderless sculptures — in his case, in all white light. Here at the Frost, some get an entire wall to themselves, others share with one or two.
While walking through the exhibit, Navarro explains how these bright bodies hanging on the wall reflects the Olympic ideal – these aren't real bodies, they are generic and based on a Greek aesthetic that wasn't authentic to begin with. So he took the most bland of colors – white – and the mass-produced, industrial fluorescent tube to express his nowhere men. And yes, his series is named after the Beatles song, Nowhere Man. The ultimate rudderless, anonymous persona. As John Lennon sang: "Doesn't have a point of view, knows not where he's going to. Isn't he a bit like you and me."
Navarro — who represented Chile in the 2009 Venice Biennale — has pursued that theme in other unrelated sculptures in the show loaned from Miami collections. One is a red fluorescent light ladder, now part of the Cricket Taplin Collection. As Navarro explains while standing in the red glow, he too didn't know where he was going to in terms of making art, so he just started making things. A ladder can lead to somewhere, or it can go no where. He laughs when he says that some people have actually tried to climb on it; of course, if you put your body weight on a sculpture made of light tubes, it will break.

Why not look at gemstones:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Catego...categories Garnet: (pronounced /ˈɡɑrnət/) are a group of silicate minerals that have been used since the Bronze Age as gemstones and abrasives. The name "garnet" comes from 14th century Middle English word gernet meaning 'dark red', from the Latin granatus granatus coming from granum (grain, seed) + suffix "atus", possibly a reference to "mela granatum" or even "pomum granatum" ("pomegranate",[2] scientific name: "Punica granatum"), a plant whose abundant vivid red arils contained in the fruit are similar in shape, size, and color to some garnet crystals.[3] (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garnet?uselang=en) |

what about:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitnir and I quote: "Glitnir is symbolic of the importance of discussion rather than violence as a means of resolution of conflict within the Norse tradition" TBH I'd never heard of it until 5 min ago...... |

In the second high-profile move on arsenic in the food supply in recent months, the Food and Drug Administration has announced it will remove three arsenic-containing drug types used to treat food animals, most notably chickens. Altogether, the three drugs were used in 101 formulations as feed additives.
The move follows its study of arsenic in rice, which found: there is arsenic in rice, but not at levels that should concern most consumers, according to the FDA.
This latest move on arsenic in the food supply will result in an almost total elimination of arsenic from animal feed. The manufacturers of the three drugs indicated to the FDA that they wanted the approvals withdrawn after receiving questions about arsenic in the food supply from the FDA, prompted by the Center for Food Safety's 2009 petition to remove arsenic from animal feed. They had already "largely removed" them from the market after studies showed arsenic in the food supply, according to Center for Food Safety, but this FDA decision formalized the decision.
Arsenic has been used in feed in the U.S. since the 1940s to induce faster weight gain on less feed, and create the perceived appearance of a healthy color in meat from chickens, turkeys and hogs. Arsenic was found at detectable levels in samples of meat purchased in grocery stores.
The remains one drug outside of this FDA action, now used in approximately 3% of cases, that still contains arsenic. The Center for Food Safety argues that the arsenic is directly toxic to animals and humans, and can be transformed into a form that is cancer-causing inside chickens, in manure-treated soil and in humans.
The withdrawal of these harmful feed additives is a major victory for consumers and the health of our food system. It is unfortunate that legal pressure from outside groups was necessary to spur action by FDA, yet in the end, we are pleased that FDA listened to our scientific objections and is now working to rid arsenic from our meat supply, said Paige Tomaselli, senior attorney with Center for Food Safety.
Consumers who choose organic chicken should have avoided much of the fuss. If any arsenic is found in organic chicken, it's likely because arsenic is present in the soils where those chicken are raised--not because the chickens were fed it, as was common on U.S. conventional chicken farms.
One drug containing arsenic, used to treat a potentially fatal disease in farmed turkeys, is still on the market.

Students pitch business ideas to chamber panel
Taking part in a moment of recognition following an entrepreneur contest at Upper Arlington High School are (from left) panelists Doug Ryan and Amy Kuhlman; students Scott Strayton, David Newhouse, Trent Porterfield and Tyler Armstrong; and panelist D. Wesley Newhouse.
Student entrepreneurs presented innovative business plans to a "panel of investors" earlier this month, learning marketing and savvy business strategies from members of the Upper Arlington Chamber of Commerce.
Upper Arlington High School business teacher Stephen Lewis Sr. said three teams of students from his Entrepreneurship and Management class competed in an entrepreneur contest.
"Each team developed a business plan appropriate for their business," he said. "The teams were The Cave, a recreational venture providing physical activity in a gaming environment; Bake, Bake, Bakery & Cafe, a pastry retail food establishment; and H & S Accessories, an online retail apparel store."
Lewis said the students presented their plans to Upper Arlington business leaders, who judged the plans for originality, feasibility and persuasiveness.
On Jan. 16, the business leaders conducted a round-table discussion with the students, providing insights on starting a business.
"It was an exciting moment for the students, as it culminated their efforts for the semester," Lewis said. "It was also an exciting moment for the community as business leaders had the opportunity to support and mentor students in such a way as to bring real world experiences to the classroom environment."
The winning student team was H & S Accessories. Its team members included seniors David Newhouse and Scott Strayton, and juniors Tyler Armstrong and Trent Porterfield.
Newhouse said the business concept for H & S Accessories centered on providing fashionable men's clothing for ages 18-35, through an online shopping experience.
"We decided there would be a niche market for online clothing with an emphasis on quick delivery and many different size options," he said. "We created a business plan that included financial statements, marketing ideas, location selection, distribution channels, target market and demographics. It was a very cohesive project that took a large amount of time to put together."
He said his group learned how to put together a business plan and how to work together to accomplish a larger business goal.
"I learned that one member cannot take on the responsibilities of a product of this magnitude and that there needs to be an underlying trust and understanding between members on the focus of the plan and the quality of the objectives," he said.
Newhouse said he is interested in pursuing a business-related major after high school and pursuing a chemistry-related business.
Lewis said the class teaches principles that may be applied in students' everyday lives as young adults. He said the round-table discussions provided the students with authentic business experience.
"When a teacher has the opportunity to enhance the learning objectives of a lesson through the use of outside professional resources, that is a blessing," he said.
Lewis said he was impressed by the diversity of businesses the students created.
"The teams put much thought into their projects and were very creative in their product mix," he said.
Partnering with the UA chamber was a "win-win" for students and the community, he said.
"Students gained a broader insight into the global dimensions of business while businesses gained increased community awareness and the school received positive media attention," he said. "The round-table discussion was an excellent opportunity for the students to hear true testimonials from professionals who had to fail before they succeeded.
"I think this type of reality check helps students to see the challenges and rewards of business ownership for what they really are and not just what is presented in a classroom lecture," he said.

Keep the Kids Cool with a "Drive-In" Movie at Home!
0Now that August is here, the summer heat is starting to take its toll and your kids may be looking for ways to take a break from the sun.
Luckily we just saw this photo (at left) on Pinterest and have great way for you and your family to beat the heat – by having your own "Drive-In Movie" inside your home!
The "Not Just a Housewife" blog came up with the awesome idea to turn cardboard boxes into cars and place them in front of the TV so the kids feel like they're actually at a drive-in movie theater! It's a great way to get the kids' "creative juices" flowing all while escaping the summer sun and spending quality family time together!
As you can see from the blog post (click the "Not Just a Housewife" link above to be directed to the full blog post), all you have to do is take a cardboard box and have the kids decorate it to look like any type of car they'd like! The blog post suggests covering the boxes with colored or patterned duct tape so that the cardboard becomes more durable and lasts for more than one movie, but if you don't have any colored duct tape on hand, feel free to just let the kids use crayons or markers to decorate the boxes with their own artwork. Don't forget to attach paper plates for the car's wheels for an extra cool effect!
Once everyone has created their own cars, place them in a straight line on the ground in front of the TV and decide what movie everyone would like to watch.
Now that you have the movie picked out there's only one thing left to do – gather up some movie snacks!
Movie snacks wouldn't be complete without popcorn, and with the Old-Fashioned Red Popcorn Bowl Set everyone can have their own bowl to hold onto in each of their "cars." You can personalize the large bowl with your family name or any message you'd like for just $39.95 and the small bowls can be purchased individually for only $9.95 each. We love the old-fashioned look to the bowl and our Old Fashioned Four Seasoning Popcorn Party Set that you can also purchase for just $12.95. The personalized bowls are high quality so you can feel free to use them for more than popcorn on family movie nights. They can be used for all of your dining and entertaining needs, including using them as salad bowls when you're hosting a dinner party or to serve other types of snacks when you have company.
If your kids are a little older, you can also create a learning experience for them by creating a little concession stand in your kitchen.
Have them work on their handwriting and spelling by creating a poster board that shows a menu with the different types of snacks and the cost of each item. Use the My Private Stash Personalized Cash Box as the cash register and have your kids take turns being the concession stand worker.
Whoever plays the concession stand worker takes their siblings' popcorn, candy and drink orders and using play money, will use the math skills they learned during the school year to figure out how much change they need to give back to each of their customers! You can choose a pink or blue cash box and have it personalized with any 2 lines across the top and your kids can use it for all sorts of future make-believe games or to hold their allowance. The cash boxes usually cost $24.95 but if you act fast, you can personalize them now while they're on sale for just $18.70!
Once everyone has their snacks and the concession stand is "closed," have everyone climb into their cars and tuck each of them in with a Personalized Sweatshirt Blanket so they can be comfy and cozy in their little "cars." Since they're in individual cars they probably won't be able to share a blanket, but with our wide selection of Personalized Blankets you'll have no problem finding the perfect design for boys and girls of all ages, no matter what their favorite hobbies or interests are. The kids will stay warm and comfortable in their cardboard boxes and the blankets can help prevent any sticky candy from falling onto your carpet (after all it's a lot easier to throw a blanket in the wash, than it is to try and get a sugary stain out of your family room carpet)! The blankets will be great for the drive-in movie night, but your kids will also be able to use them for years to come, especially when they go on sleepovers, road trips or just when they're sitting on the couch watching TV or doing their homework.
When everyone is ready, dim the lights and start the movie!
The homemade drive-in movie theater is a win-win for everyone. The kids are happy that they get to cool off and watch a movie and the parents are happy that the kids are using their creativity, math skills (without even realizing it) and spending quality time together. It's not only a great way to beat the heat, it's also a great way to make an unforgettable memory that your family will cherish forever!
If you have any ideas on ways to beat the heat this summer, feel free to share them in the comments below and make sure to visit PMall.com's Back-to-School Store so you can get an early start to tackling those school supply lists!
Our Fans Asked & We Answered: Introducing our Popular New Gift!
0We couldn't believe all of the buzz that our fans were creating after we introduced our new Definition of My Dog Personalized Pillow to our Facebook and Pinterest Fans a couple weeks ago.
This fun, new pillow has everyone talking! Our fans love that the pillow can be personalized in 1 of 4 colors and that it also comes with your choice of 12 dog graphics and can be personalized to include "definitions" that best describe their dog.
While tons of PMall fans were falling in love with our new design, (which happens to make a great gift for Pet Lovers), a couple of our fans made the same request – they loved the design, but they wanted a cat version!
Well we want you to know that our fans' suggestions and opinions are very important to us here at PersonalizationMall.com, and we're here to tell you that your requests have been answered!
We'd like to introduce our TWO new pillow designs: The Definition of My Cat Personalized Pillow and the Definition of Our Family Personalized Pillow!
Both of the new pillows come with the same color options: black, cranberry, navy or sage and can be personalized with your pet cat or family's name and pronunciation. The cat pillow comes with 12 cute cat graphics to choose from, while the family pillow features 10 new graphics – each one more unique than the last so you're sure to find a graphic that fits everyone's personal style or taste!
All three pillows are priced at $28.95 and make great gifts for friends or to keep in your own home. It looks as though the "definition" section of the pillow is what our fans are having the most fun with. It seems to be the main reason that everyone is going crazy over these new pillows! Our fans are having a blast coming up with the words or phrases to use in each of their 3 definitions slots.
We've seen people use sweet words in their definitions, such as "loyal." "kind," or "loving," while we've seen people use more colorful words to describe their family or pet's strong personality, including definitions like "sassy," "ankle biter," or "puuur-fect!"
Everyone seems to be having fun creating their own pillow and we have YOU, the PersonalizationMall.com fans, to thank for it!
So give yourselves a pat on the back – you helped us create one of our most popular new personalized gifts! Thanks again and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Wedding Gift Guide: Gifts for Parents of the Bride & Groom!
0With all of the craziness surrounding wedding planning it's easy to forget the people who have been there for you since Day 1 – your parents!
You may have gotten caught up in finding gifts for your bridesmaids and groomsmen but don't worry, we're here to offer some great gift ideas for your parents and future in-laws, too! We think it's a wonderful gesture to present both parents of the bride and groom with a little something special to show your appreciation for their love, support and help with the wedding.
We love the idea of taking a special photo with both sets of parents on the day of the wedding, like the picture we found on Pinterest at left where all three couples share a sweet kiss. If you visit our Pinterest boards at the above link, you'll see some other great photo ideas we repinned, as well like the idea to take a photo of the bride, her mother and her grandmother together with their wedding rings to show that special bond between mother and daughter (and granddaughter)! Another one of our favorite unique photo ideas was to recreate a wedding photo of the bride and groom's parents – it's neat to see and compare them after the wedding!
Whether it's a unique photo or just a standard family photo from the wedding, we suggest presenting it to your parents in the "To My Parents" Personalized Wedding Frame (at right). This beautiful frame comes in your choice of 3 colors (tan, sage or blue) and can be personalized for the parents of the bride or groom with any title (To My Parents, Mom, Dad, etc.) and any subtitle (On My Wedding Day, etc) at the top. You can also include any closing sentiment along with the bride and/or groom's names and wedding date at the bottom for a very special touch. The lovely poem and elegant colors aren't the only reasons this frame is one of our most popular wedding gifts for parents … it's because of that added personal touch that makes the gift even more special and meaningful. Both sets of parents will love it and be proud to display it in their homes forever.
PMall.com's Parents Gifts Department, which is located in the Wedding & Anniversary Gifts Store also has great gift ideas specifically for the mothers and fathers of the bride and groom. The "Tears of Joy "Personalized Wedding Handkerchief (at left) is just one of our personalized handkerchiefs that makes a great gift idea for the mothers of the bride and groom. This handkerchief gives you the option of selecting one of three designs, a rose & hearts, wedding bells or wedding doves, and personalizing it with any name or title at the top, followed by a heartfelt sentiment, and the bride and groom's names and wedding date underneath. This is just a special gift to give your mother or future mother-in-law the morning of the wedding so they can wipe away their tears of joy throughout the ceremony and reception. They will love that you went out of your way and thought of them on your own wedding day and they're sure to be truly touched by the sweet gesture!
If you're looking for a special gift that you can give your father or future father-in-law on the day of your wedding, we suggest personalizing our new "For Dad" Collar Stays Set. The set consists of 6 silver-plated brass collar stays that are presented in a handsome black velvet box. The collar stays can be engraved with 6 different personalized sentiments, heart felt messages and/or names … anything you'd like up to 25 characters each! Men are usually hard to buy for, but these are such a great gift idea because he'll be able to use them that day with his suit or tux plus he'll be touched that you created a one-of-a-kind gift just for him – it's sure to make his day!
If you're interested in any of these gifts or need some more gift ideas, head over to PMall's Wedding & Anniversary Gifts Store and check out the Parents Gifts Department. You'll find a wide selection of great gift ideas, such as personalized keepsakes, photo albums, photo frames, vases and so much more!
We hope we were able to help you cross off something from your to-do list – happy wedding planning!
How To Make Her Last Night Out Her Best Night Out!
0Now that it's wedding season, all of you maids-of-honor and bridesmaids should get started on planning your bride's bachelorette party. We know you want to make sure that your friend or sister has the best, last night out as a single girl – that's why we're here to help with some fun ways to personalize her bachelorette party, making her last night out, her best night out … ever!
No party is complete without a fun dessert, which is why we had to share this photo of high heels cookies that we found on Pinterest! Aren't they fun!? We love how each cookie has it's own colorful design, but you don't need to go to that extreme if you plan on making a cute, girly-themed dessert for your party. You can save time and money by decorating each of the high heels in the same color and style or you can create other styles of cookies, such as lipstick bottles, lingerie, martini glasses, etc. that fit the girly theme just as well as the cute pumps, too!
If you like the high heels cookies as much as we do, you'll love PMall's Wild Side Personalized Bachelorette Party Invitations! The invitations feature a fun & flirty zebra-striped shoe design that will get all of the girls excited and pumped out for the night of fun! They are sold in sets of 24 and can be custom personalized with all of your party info – you barely have to lift a finger (except for typing )! Once you get the invitations personalized and sent out you'll be ready for the next step – bachelorette party games!
There are a ton of bachelorette party games out there that people like to use, but our favorite has to be the bachelorette party truth or dare!
We like to make our own Truth or Dare topics because the game will be much more fun when you tailor it to the taste and personalities of the bride and her guests. Plus, when you personalize your own truth or dare questions, you can make sure that they'll fit with all of your party plans, such as location, time, and the activiities you have planned for the night.
All you have to do is write down 10-20 (or more depending on how many guests will be attending the party) dares and truth questions and put each of them in envelopes that are labeled so you'll know which one to hand out when the time comes. Make sure to seal the envelopes with the Bachelorette Personalized Party Stickers so no one can peek! These fun stickers help add a personal touch to the game that the bride will really appreciate. She may have been to several bachelorette parties where they've plaid a similar game, but when she sees her name on the cute stickers she'll be truly touched that you spent the extra time and effort to make it special. Have each girl continue to pick a card and answer a truth question, such as, "Who was the first boy you kissed?" or complete a dare, such as "Dance with the first guy you see at the bar!" Once they have successfully completed their task, hand them a sticker to wear for the rest of the night! It'll show that they're part of the fun party and that they've already participated in the fun!
Everyone will notice when your group of girls enters the room once you're all wearing the fun, pink stickers, but don't forget to make the bride stand out! Personalize the Bachelorette Bash Satin Sash to say "Bachelorette (her name here)," "Future Mrs. (groom's last name here)" or anything you'd like! You can have it personalized in one of 10 colors – we think pink or purple look great, but you can also select a color that matches her wedding colors for that extra special touch! Make sure the bride keeps her sash on the whole night, that way everyone around you will know to congratulate her throughout the night – and she may even get a free drink or two out of it!
It's adding little personal touches like these that will make her last night out, one of the best of her life. She'll know that you spent the extra time to make it special for her and she'll never forget it!
So head on over to PMall.com now to get started on planning and have a great night out with the girls!

Anyone here have the ear of someone on the City Council? I've noticed that many of the multi-lane streets with bike lanes have stoplights with crazy-short yellows: if you enter the intersection as the light turns yellow, it's almost impossible to get to the far side before cross-traffic gets their green light! :( I admit that I'm usually only doing a leisurely 10 mph, but I'm a commuter, not a road racer. C'mon San Jose, give me an extra second or two?
Hi Margot. It sounds like a
Hi Margot. It sounds like a problem you could address with the San Jose BPAC - http://www.sanjoseca.gov/transportation/bikeped/bikeped_Advisory_Committ...
There's actually a vacancy on the BPAC right now, if anyone reading this is interested I encourage you to sign up and keep SVBC updated on local developments.
The BPAC is staffed by John Brazil, who is the pedestrian and bicycle coordinator for the city's department of transportation. I doubt that the council members would have much to do with traffic signal timing. The city is pursuing many bike-friendly updates via its Bicycle Master Plan, but I'm not up to date on the specifics of funding and implementation. Good luck - and let us know what you find out!
Glad I could shed some light
Glad I could shed some light on the BPAC! As far as a liaison, we have only 4 staff members, and cover two counties, so there's no way we can hit up all the BPACs. We are working on a campaign to expand the number of BPACs (not all cities have one) and to boost their public participation and effectiveness.
We do have members on many of the BPACs, and I can tell you that at least five of the San Jose BPAC members are SVBC members as well. We try to get BPACs to keep us up to date through our Area Reports (http://bikesiliconvalley.org/area-reports) as well, and we keep a list of area BPACs at http://bikesiliconvalley.org/bpac-info-page so our readers can get involved.
Good luck with the email - and let us know how it goes. :)
signal timing standards
For reference during your conversations with the streets maintenance folks: The relevant sections of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/signtech/mutcdsupp/pdf/camutcd2010/Par...) are 4D.10 and 4D.105(CA). The standards require the signal (green plus yellow plus all-red phases) to provide sufficient time for a Reference Bicycle-Rider to cross. You can check, with your own watch's second hand, whether the intersection complies with the requirements.

Sean Quinn |
Why are you wearing headphones, Paddy Duffy? This is print journalism, not broadcasting.
What is they say about a fool and his money? He was probably targeted by smooth operators who wanted to get their hands on his cash and once it had all gone, tell him "Sorry! The value of your investment can go downs as well as up!". What he did was extremely high-risk. He should have only invested what he could afford to lose, since he knew nothing about banking.
Teriffic article Paddy. You're right about Ireland's genuflection before gombeens. It's retarding the nation's devlopment.
What complete waffle, what are your facts? To compare Sean Quinn to the likes of Haughey or Bertie, how many Jobs have either of those created for the country, 0, you seem to have left out the part of SQ breaking a lot of the monopolies in this country, those ran by government bodies, take for example Irish Cement, VHI, he was even in the process of setting up power stations to take on the ESB. The "gamble" he took on Anglo that everyone speaks about is referred to a "risk" in real business, you have to take a certain amount of risk if you are to progress, that's the nature of business,SQ was told by Drumm &Fitz that the bank had plenty of Liquidity, the Central Bank also said the same, the Auditors E & Y said the books were perfect, the flipping finance minister said also and then the regulator said all was well in the bank!!! Why oh Why are the so called Irish falling for this crap, if SQ owe`s 3BN euro, then where the hell is the other €27BN that's been pumped into anglo????? Paddy why dont you do us all a favour and wait until all the FACTS are out before you jump on the SQ bashing band wagon, writing tripe like this shows how little you know about the situation. There is a court case soon that SQ has against anglo and the regulator, which has the potential to take the government down, ask yourself why are anglo so eager to get all of SQ`s money before this case ........because if he has not got the funds he cannot see the case through.....open your eyes!!!!!
He should have stuck with making cement.

Melissa Leilani Larson
Little Happy Secrets
In those dark and dangerous spaces where the political and personal collide, some works seem to flail around helplessly in the dark, as though the sheer heat of exertion might lead to illumination. Others prefer, in modesty and humor and affection, to simply light a candle. Such a work is Melissa Leilani Larson's play
Little Happy Secrets
, particularly as seen in a marvelous production last year by the New Play Project in Provo. A young woman finds herself romantically obsessed with her dearest friend and roommate. She worries that revealing the truth will end the friendship--she also can't stop herself, and the friendship is nearly destroyed. Is her culture thereby condemned? No, Larson has written a play, not a polemic. If anything, the play is a celebration, of a culture rooted in compassion, of a plan that requires heartbreak and loss and pain. A celebration of heartbreak. Larson writes dialogue with a directness and simple eloquence, in which the characters move from conversations with each other to a larger conversation with the audience and, through us, with Mormonism itself. How can we love, how can we persist in loving, knowing our hearts will be broken, our spirits made contrite? The Association for Mormon Letters is proud to be able to honor Melissa Leilani Larson for
Little Happy Secrets

Stitch Detail Leather Jacket
Stitch Detail Leather Jacket
A fabulous good quality product for the price!
After many shopping trips searching for a fashionable leather jacket, I finally came across this gem on the Internet. A comfortable fit, cropped and quality finished. Fashionable because of the biker element but not to extreme with the pattern. I particularly like the design as you can wear open or closed and it still maintains its shape. The side zip is a great addition to the look. Very very pleased with my Oasis purchase. Money well spent.
24 March 2013
Perfect biker jacket!
I am thrilled with my jacket: a great biker look without looking too much like a hardcore biker. It is fabulous with skinny jeans or a pretty dress alike. I can dress this up or down and feel great.
The leather is beautiful- much nicer than the picture leads you to believe. It is soft and good quality. I love leather as you don't overheat and get sticky wearing it like in the cheaper faux types that I was tempted to buy (I'm on a budget!). It isn't shiny like the picture looks either.
I am full on the top and bottom with a defined waist and this cut suits me as it goes in and out with me , rather than being boxy like some fits.
Definitely try this beauty!
10 March 2013
Great Buy!
I bought this jacket after seeing it in store, and i must say the picture online doesnt do it justice at all! The leather seems patent in the picture, but it is actually a soft plush matt leather which feels so soft! the slight tailoring at the bottom gives a great fit, and i find that i can wear it over a thin jumper to jazz up a winter outfit aswell as over a thin top!
Great buy! Great fit! Great value!
I am looking forward to wearing this alot!+
11 December 2012
A classic cut jacket
I love this jacket! The picture doesn't do it justice. The leather is lovely and soft and very flattering, nips in on the waist to give shape. Would definitely recommend.

Things I found out recently include the fact that the sisters Kardashian are making their fiction debut in November with a novel entitled Dollhouse. Says Kim, ""The novel is based on our lives but we've added a lot of crazy fictional twists and turns. You'll have to decide for yourself which story lines are true to life, and which ones we dreamed up." But Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney are far from the only celebs who have tried their hand at novel-writing. I can't speak as to how much these shining literary achievements owe to a little thing we call ghostwriting, but some of them aren't so bad. Others… well, take a look for yourselves!

You may have heard of the song "Fat Kid" by Nothing More. It's on the RBN and the chart is probably the worst that's on there (so I've heard...). This is the only product that its charting group, Interactive-Music-Productions, has put out... but why does their website say otherwise? (under "Buy Songs") Why are they listing "H.K.A." By Nico Blue as being a song you can buy when it's nowhere on the RBN?
Well, according to this video put out from a few months ago, IMP (fitting abbreviation) never even sent the song in for playtesting. Perhaps it was the negative feedback from Fat Kid, or they weren't making enough money, I don't know. They had it all finished, and it never even got sent in.
Which is why I made this thread.
I feel slightly bad for Nico Blue, after sending their song to a terrible authoring group and not even getting an end profit on it. So I'm wondering, could someone possibly get in touch with the band and correct this? Fix up the charts and send it in? I realize everyone's been pretty busy lately, but this just bugs me.

CARMEL, N.Y. – A wake for the four victims of the Sullivan family fire was held Thursday at the Balsamo-Cordovano Funeral Home in Carmel, where government officials, students and family members gathered to remember the victims of the fast-moving fire, which consumed the Sullivan home early Tuesday and left 20-year-old son Thomas Sullivan Jr. as the only survivor.
"We're still in shock, and clearly you can never be prepared for something like this," said MaryEllen Odell, Putnam County executive.
She said Thomas Sullivan Jr. was not in attendance Thursday afternoon, and was uncertain if he would come. She said both of Donna Sullivan's brothers from New York and Thomas Sullivan Sr.'s sisters, from Canada and New York, were in attendance with Thomas Sullivan Sr.'s father.
"Friends are seeing each other for the first time in a long time," Odell said. "We're talking about the kids, we're talking about Tommy, young Tommy. We're remembering days when it was Little League games and pool parties and, you know, now we're talking about getting our kids and our family through this."
Odell said the each one of the four members of the Sullivan family who perished, Larchmont Police Capt. Thomas Sullivan Sr., 48, Donna Sullivan, 47, Meaghan, 17 and Mairead, 15, had an urn with a picture in front of it.
The wake will continue Friday at the Balsamo-Cordovano Funeral Home, 15 Church St. Visiting hours are from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.. The funeral Mass will be celebrated at 9 a.m. Saturday at St. James the Apostle Church, 14 Gleneida Ave., Carmel.
Carmel police and Putnam County fire investigators have not yet determined the cause of the fire, and are sending evidence and samples from the scene to the New York state forensic laboratory.
Odell said she was informed by law enforcement officials that the investigation could take weeks, and authorities have issued statements to the press saying no updates would be given about the investigation until early next week.

Romanticism in England
Constable, The Hay Wain John Constable, "The Hay Wain", 1821. Oil on canvas, 51 1/4" x 73" (130.2 x 185.4 cm) (The National Gallery, London)
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- It was painted in 1821 and this painting in a a poll a few years back it was dubbed the number two most
- loved painting in Britain.
- So let's talk about why that might be. It's large, it is very large.
- And, very British, in the sense that it shows what was intended to be quintessential
- country sightseeing, It's painted in Suffolk which is an area of the country
- which is very green, beautiful and rural.
- Constable actually was the artist who was best known for painting these beautiful
- pastoral scenes in the English countryside and something about it is unique
- because what they are doing is reflecting the landscape back on to Britain
- because before this everyone was always looking to Italy, abroad to that sense of
- Arcadia, beautiful paradise that you wanted to go and capture.
- People travelling around in Rome and copying people who had gone before like
- Claude and their kind of ideas of light and colour
- and what picturesque, beautiful places would look like.
- What Constable is doing, is turning the lense back on the UK
- and saying 'Hey' we have paradise here on our own, look at our wonderful countryside
- and in addition this is, so it's the begining of the 1820's
- The early 19th century was prime Industrial Revoulotion time in London
- and this scene was actually painted not in the countryside
- but in Constable's London studio.
- He did a lot of preparation sketches out in the countryside
- but he actually painted this in his studio.
- He's looking at this Industrial Revoloution that's
- eating up the British countryside.
- He's sort of holding up this beautiful, green, still, peasant lifestyle
- as something that's really in reaction to that industrialisation.
- It's definitely got a homely and very nostalgic feel to it
- and that's relevant to Constable because this land was actually owned by his father,
- So although it's nostalgic for a sort of a industry before the
- machination revouloution, before it came along, it's also
- sort of nostalgic to his own childhood
- and I think you can see that closeness to the land
- that he's managed to capture his own pasion
- and his own feeling.
- There is a sense of fondness about the way this is painted,
- I mean he's very careful with the brush strokes
- to pay a lot of attention, you know that dog in the front
- that's standing on the shore looking very attentively
- at the man in the middle of the pond and
- that's the hay wain, by the way, refers to this carriage,
- right in the middle, the wain being a carriage carrying hay.
- It's interesting because it's focussing on work,
- they're crossing the river, they've got their horses,
- the lady in the background there she seems to be
- washing some clothes, or something in the river.
- So there is a view of working life going on here,
- but at the same time, it's very still and quiet
- and Constable himself he was part of this
- land owning, wealthier class.
- He's not actually somebody who would be working
- in this way, so at the same time there's kind of a
- idealising of the peasant workers and also
- not really showing them at work, this feels
- much more still then it would if you were actually watching
- a carriage forward across a stream.
- If you were to listen to this painting, you can imagine
- the noise of the river and the racking of the wheels on the
- carriage and the dog I'm sure is not standing there quietly.
- He's probably about to bark at the noise and the animals
- going by. So there is a very concious choice that
- Constable is making, to make this almost like a snapshot
- of the beautiful English countryside and that
- you could just stumble across this and it could be happening
- anywhere, this painting itself, this type of painting in
- Constable's paintings in general, but this one has been
- reproduced many, many times and shows up
- as the prime number one with a star illustration of
- this sort of English landscape painting from the
- beginning of the nineteenth century and I think
- there is, the potential, to be over saturated with
- reproductions and images of The Hay Wain so that when
- you actually stand in front of it, you feel
- like you already know it.
- It's interesting that it's so popular now because, when it was
- first exhibited, it wasn't popular, it wasn't a huge success
- and he actually took his paintings to the salons of
- Paris, where he had a little bit more recognition and then
- came back to the UK. But the British public didn't
- appreciate this in the first offer.
- See how far they've come.
