Just as I was sitting around, moping about the end of Summer, pouting over my cherry tomato plants whose small green droplets will never redden and my drooping basil whose time is nearing an end, dreading the coming snow and cold, this contest comes along. Now, visions of holiday parties, festive drinks and raucous parties are filling my head. Instead of imagining the heavy snow that will need to be shoveled, I am fantasizing about cozy meals, family gatherings and tables creaking under the weight of these amazing recipes. I have only been active on this site a short time, but the creations offered here this week are so tantalizing. Pears were an inspired theme - getting me excited about Fall - instead of mournful about the loss of the Summer sun. The dusting of snow on the top of Pikes Peak today seems more like a harbinger of delights to come instead of a death knell of carefree frivolity. Thanks so much Food 52!

A large plate of sparkling, very lustrous , sphalerite from this classic old district, probably from the early to mid 1800s. It is very nearly pristine despite its large size, and presetns well. Old classic!
A very old specimen from this classic pegmatite locality, with lustrous, long schorl crystals to 4 cm, perched on feldspar and muscovite matrix. Although many of the schorls are damaged or missing terminations, some are intact...and in any case its overall an impressively large display specimen for the locality, all things considered.
Classic Cumbria sphalerite, one would think at first....but I am told that when on the quartz and isolated in this style, it is actually a typical old Derbyshire association. This piece is beautiful , regardless, for the sharp isolated lustrous crystals (to 1 cm) on sparkling quartz background.
A hefty, handsized specimen of nearly solid manganite with accent of calcite for contrast, fesaturing super lustrous crystals to nearly 2 cm. This is a classic old Ilfeld specimen from its heyday in the late 1800s, and a beautiful and displayable specimen at an affordable price for such a classic, I feel.
A fairly elegant specimen of stacked rhombohedra, classic in style, form this old historic silver mining district.
This is a GORGEOUS specimen where every one of the three species, sparkles brightly. The contrast, with the quartz vein winding over the sphalerite, and accented by golden siderite, is striking. This large specimen is nearly pristine except for only a few very trivial bits of wear, and is a a choice example of this assemblage from a classic old locality. But you rarely see the combination so well presented. Beautiful - better in person!
A GORGEOUS SPECIMEN with intense, maroon-red crystals of erythrite in a protected vug in the ore matrix. This old find, from the mid-1800s and maybe earlier, has always set the standard for the species for sheer color and lustre. These crystals, to 7 mm, exemplify the best of those qualities. Additionally this piece has a nice significance as it is from the type locality for the species.
A very impressive manganite specimen from this classic locality of the late 1800s, with sharp, lustrous, fat crystals to 3.5 cm in length (largest one). It is a handsized piece, very showy, and with good lustre - all at I think an excellent price for an 1800s-era manganite of this quality level. In person, the 3-dimensionality comes out much better
A sharp 6mm proustite crystal glows gem red when backlit, and other clusters of smaller crystals are present as well on a calcite matrix. Classic old material, and a rare piece with surviving documentation marking it as Andreasberg (though the calcite is also indicative). Label is dated 1831 !
Unusual, elongated calcites of a style uncommon for this locality. Some crystals are damaged, but most are intact. Unusual, interesting habit, for not a lot of money for what these tend to go for.
An unusually colored green-blue eryl from this classic deposit, measuring 1.7 cm in length. I love the old label!
An attractive large specimen with fat white quartz, draped upon by dolonite, in which sharp 1-cm arsenopyrite crystals are perched and peek through. Neat combo from an old locale.
A super specimen for the locality primarily because it shows such a wonderful association of all the minerals found here, and it is PRETTY to boot. I have never seen such a nice combo piece for sale of minerals from this locality, for overall visual impact. The whole mineralogical environment is here...from the primary galena on the left, to its secondary oxidation products: a pocket of pyro and cerussite in the middle where phosphate must have been present; and stranger and more rare chemistry occurring in the next oxidation layer over to the right, with flat-laying leadhillite (and probably susannite as well) having formed from some of the minerals present in the galena ore on that side. Historic, and I think important.
A large, showy, very colorful cluster of cubic fluorites to 4 cm in size, from a very old locale. I have chosen not to clean this piece but with water, leaving the "old look" to it rather than making it bright and shiny - but the brown pocket clay and staiing would come off, if desired.
Sharp crystals with a good yellow color,to 9 mm in size, make this a rare locality and an important rarity piece. Note label dated 1835 PREDATES the identification of stolzite, which was actually discovered on material from this locality mislabelled as scheelite or wulfenite. While both occur here, this elongated habit is indicative of the stolzite, and the timing is right as the material was collected at this time. In 1845, stolzite was recognized as a species and remains the only species first identified from this very prolific locality.

Fans of the NEOGEO® cartridge-console system with a Playstation® 3 or PSP® will have a reason to celebrate an early Christmas this year. SNK Playmore USA Corp. announced today that the NEOGEO® Station emulator will release on the Playstation® Network Dec. 21, 2010.
SNK has stated a lineup of 10 classic titles will release upon launch with more titles to come in 2011. For the PSP®, only two of those ten will be available on the 21st, the rest will release next year.
More Bang, Less Buck
However, those expecting a 2 decades past experience will be pleasantly surprised with the editions SNK and Sony have integrated with NEOGEO® Station.
The NEOGEO® Station will feature customizable settings saved to your system; from button configurations, to screen resolutions, volume settings, and skipping the opening menu. The station will also allow players to save their progress within game while in game. Called a "State Save," players can save and return to their progress by navigating through the Pause Menu to the subsequent Save and Load menus.
SNK has also recreated the NEOGEO® Memory Card for the station. Instead of utilizing State Save, players can turn on the memory card at the main menu of each game. With a complete emulation of the memory card for the console-system, players will be able to save their progress, unlock hidden characters, or activate cheats as if it was 1990. Any information saved while the memory card feature is active will be saved as the System Save Data.
The greatest addition to the classic NEOGEO® experience through the station is networking. Yes networking; and considering the titles being released, whether on PS3® or PSP®, networking will go viral for this station.
Game title dictating, players will engage in versus or cooperative gameplay through a few options. Players can either join a Quick Match, search for a match within certain parameters, or create their own. Players can also send invitations to friends to join a game through Friend Invite. However, the network capabilities don't end there. With a full breath of settings, players can even activate Voice Chat.
Although most of these network features are limited to the PS3®, PSP® players can setup ad hoc networks via wireless LAN for
For those looking to enjoy the background music of these classic titles, a Sound Player Mode has also been integrated into NEOGEO® Station, allowing players to kick out the jams as well as the games.
Those new to NEOGEO® need not worry about breaking into these games. For one, they aren't hard to catch on to; but either way SNK has also integrated In-Game manuals for each title.
Ranging from a suggested price of $8.99 for PS3® titles and $6.99 for PSP® titles, the NEOGEO® Station will be low cost but seething with potential.
10 Classic Titles
The NEOGEO® titles set to release later this month are:
- Fatal Fury® (PS3/PSP)
- Alpha Mission II
- The King of Fighters® '94
- Samurai Shodown®
- Baseball Stars Professional
- Magician Lord
- Metal Slug® (PS3/PSP)
- League Bowling
- Super Sidekicks
- Art of Fighting®

Lena Dunham talks Girls with Most Powerful WomenOctober 2, 2012: 6:52 PM ET
Actress, writer, and director Lena Dunham joined CNN's Soledad O'Brien on stage at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit.
Below is an unedited transcript:
STEPHANIE MEHTA: I'm very excited about our next session. Fortune does some things very well. We know business. We've got business covered. But although we have a lot of women from media at our summit, and though we are part of a big media company, Time Warner, we very rarely get the woman of the moment at the moment that she is in the moment at the Fortune MPW Summit, at least when it comes to the entertainment industry. This year we got it right.
I'm very pleased to introduce the creator, director, star of the HBO show "Girls." She made quite a splash at her Emmy debut last week, arguably upstaging some of the winners, and in a rare move of corporate synergy, HBO is owned by Time Warner, CNN is owned by Time Warner, so CNN Soledad O'Brien is going to interview Lena Dunham, creator of the show Girls.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: It's so great to have a chance to talk to you, and I'm going to fill up our water.
LENA DUNHAM: Thank you. I'm incredibly excited to be here. You can just like feel the good vibes coming off of this conference, it's amazing. It's amazing. And so many good suits, I feel like a real schlock. (Laughter.)
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Do you think of yourself as a powerful woman?
LENA DUNHAM: I guess so. I mean, I guess what's cool about an event like this is you get the opportunity to really consider that. I guess I spend so much time just trying to keep it all moving that I don't necessarily revel in my powerful woman-ness, but when I'm here I think this is the kind of company I'd like to be in more often, and this is the kind of woman I would like to become. So, I hope so. And if I'm not there yet, then hopefully I'm on the road.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: You have talked a lot about how you wrestled with the title of Girls. How did you come up with Girls?
LENA DUNHAM: Every title that I came up with included the word "girls," but they were like the kind of worst, sort of most ‑‑ I love a network title just as much as the next girl, but they were sort of the worst ‑‑
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Throw out some examples.
LENA DUNHAM: I don't know, like Fun Times Girls, Downtown Girls, Girls Like Us. They were all going horribly awry. And sort of the connective tissue was the word "girls." And it was actually Judd Apatow, who is not a girl, who suggested why don't we just remove the rest of that and just go with Girls. And it started out as our temp title, and then it was like the show could never be called anything else.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Who helped you get to where you are today? If you had to tick off for me three people who are critical.
LENA DUNHAM: What a great question. It's like you do this professionally. (Laughter.) I would say, I would have to start with my mother, who is amazing, and who is an artist. And the thing that's amazing about being an artist, a modern artist especially one who is really constantly working and making a living at it, is that that also means you're a small business owner. So, her ability to sort of balance her creative life, the life of sort of supporting her vision, her business, and her life with us at home was always, even before I was aware of what a challenge that was, I think it impressed me. And now that I'm trying to do something similar, it impresses me even more. So, my mother was hugely important.
I would say that I had a number of incredible ‑‑ I went to an amazing school in Brooklyn called St. Anne's that's a really kind of creative hot bed. It's a small liberal private school, and I had a few amazing writing teachers, particularly a playwriting teacher named Nancy Faalsgaard (ph), who were just consistently encouraging me to express myself in any way I saw fit.
My father who is also an artist, and who kind of offers different but complementary things to my mother.
And then I have an amazing ‑‑ since I have started making films, I've had an amazing slew of collaborators, most of them women. Now, working on Girls, I have a producing partner named Jenny Connor, who has taught me a tremendous amount; an executive producer named Eileen Landress who is sort of the nuts and bolts production woman who sort of taught me how to handle a crew, how to hire people, how to sort of run what essentially amounts to a small corporation with some semblance of grace, and style. And Judd Apatow has been huge. I just named a lot more than three people.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: It's okay.
LENA DUNHAM: But I feel like I've really been massively supported in ways that I never imagined.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Here's a quote from you, and you were talking about Girls. You said, the parts I enjoy playing aren't really available to me, so I have to write them. Has that always sort of been the history and part of why you've gotten to where you are?
LENA DUNHAM: You know, I think it is. And I think it was hard for me to acknowledge that acting was something that I wanted to do, both because there is a little bit of the perception that it wasn't sort of an intellectual pursuit because of the fact that it didn't necessarily feel like there was going to be a place for someone who looked and acted like me to play anyone besides someone's sort of like a sassy best friend who can't stay away from the buffet, and because I loved writing and directing, it seemed like why would I not just hire the person who looks right and knows how to do this job. But I always wanted to act, and I would always get like a horrible part in the play, but it was like as the bouncing ball, or like ‑‑ I was always being asked to play a man, which was really stressful.
And so, I think that when I first started acting, I did it almost out of necessity. I thought, well, I don't yet have the means to hire the kind of actor I'd want, so I'm going to stick myself in until somebody better comes along. And then it wasn't really until I finished the first season of Girls that I thought, oh, I love doing this, and it's a part of my expression.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Do you worry, I mean, Girls and most of your work is very autobiographical, if not exactly it's a twist of. Do you ever worry about revealing ‑‑ you're naked a lot in Girls.
LENA DUNHAM: I am. I really am. And I do. I have moments when I go like, well, there may be a time when like my child is wondering, because the thing is what I want to explain to my daughter is, you shouldn't probably be naked on television. Most situations it's not a good idea to be naked on television. I like doing it because I'm my own boss, I'm writing it, I'm directing it, I'm producing it. If somebody else got me to ask me to be naked on television, I would tell them to go fuck themselves. (Laughter.)
So, I think that aside from that, I think that the specificity of my situation, it's like I hate American apparel ads, I think they're disgusting. I think that they're part of the problem. Yet, I'm more naked than that and think it's part of the solution. So, we can contemplate that later.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: It's actually very consistent. The show is about girls who are young women how are contradictions. They're smart, and they do incredibly stupid things. They're so ‑‑ they're ambitious, but never really about their jobs, a lot about their relationships. They know the choice to make, and they almost invariably make the wrong choice.
LENA DUNHAM: You sound like a better version of the pitch that I made when I went to HBO.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: You had a lot of comparisons to "Sex In The City." Obviously HBO was part of that. Did that bother you? Did you embrace it?
LENA DUNHAM: I found it exciting, because that show obviously opened up ‑‑ that show is incredibly successful both sort of I think artistically and in terms of its popularity and its reach. I think that I was excited, because that's the show that sort of opened up, I think, the kind of dialogue that my show is trying to continue. I don't think there would be a place for us on television if it weren't for "Sex In The City." But, I also felt like the minute people saw it they would understand the difference. Those comparisons really lessened once the show was actually in the world.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: So, when you talk about contradictions, is that ultimately what the show is about, sort of that age that's just a massive contradiction?
LENA DUNHAM: It's a huge part of it, and I think it's also about something that I hope is that it's not just about the moment between college and real life. It can be about the transitional moment at any point in your life. Like nothing makes me happier than when someone comes up to me and says, my kids just left home, I'm 60. I want to make a career change. This show speaks to me. The idea that it's for any moment of sort of lost-ness and trying to grapple with sort of what you have to offer the world, because I think even though these characters can seem sort of pessimistic, or narcissistic, what I find sort of uplifting is their really firm belief that they have an ability to give something to the world, and to change the world, and that they want their voices to be heard.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Even in the face of everything sort of saying you don't.
LENA DUNHAM: Exactly. Even in the voice of everyone, I feel like the men on the show are constantly shutting them down, like there's so much ‑‑ I feel like my character, Hanna, is constantly being told by every boss, by every boyfriend, you don't know what you're talking about, enter the real world, get your head on straight. And even though some of those may be valid criticisms, her refusal to listen makes me love playing her, and makes me love writing for her, and makes me think that despite what a mess she is she has some kind of lesson to teach.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: An heroic characteristic?
LENA DUNHAM: Yes.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: The critics of your show have said it's elitist. They've said for four young women in New York City there are almost no people of color who they interact with, which for New York City would be very unusual.
LENA DUNHAM: Yes, you know when I heard those criticisms the first ‑‑ my first feeling was just the idea that the show would make anyone feel isolated when what its purpose was to make people feel like, sort of flaws and all, their stories deserve to be told. And so I really took those criticisms to heart. I didn't necessarily try to defend myself, because it was a valid perspective. I just sort of said I've done 10 episodes about four characters who are really close to me. I'm half Jewish half WASP. I wrote "Two Jewish Girls And Two WASPs," like I was writing almost it was like each one was a different facet of my personality.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Was it hurtful.
LENA DUNHAM: It was when it became personal, because there was a lot of you were raised in New York, you've never met a person of color in your life. And it felt like it was attacks on myself, attacks on my family, that felt I really did try to block a lot of it out for that reason, but at the same time you can't block all of it out, because all I want is to make women feel excited, and included by their show. And so in the second season there are a multitude of new characters who enter. Some are people of color, some are not, some are Caucasian, because I went to the actors who I wanted to work with and told the stories that seemed vital and exciting and I hope that it ‑‑ I don't care about satisfying the critics, but I care about satisfying my viewers. And I know I have viewers who are women of color who want to see themselves reflected on screen. So, that's what matters to me. It doesn't matter to me to sort of satiate people who are looking to sort of kind of put destructive energy onto the world, not to sound like a hippie.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Do you feel when you look at your career, do you feel like you've planned it, or do you feel like it has sort of come at you?
LENA DUNHAM: In some ways it's amazing, because I never felt like I was planning as I went along, but yet I find myself very much where I want to be. So, it's interesting to think that sort of the little choices that we all sort of have this compass in ourselves that's sort of pushing us in the right direction. And the little choices that we didn't even know would matter. The choice to make this web video with these three interesting women, the choice to submit your film to this festival rather than that festival, the choices that feel instinctual and tiny and basic are the things that are setting us up to sort of have the life that we want to have. So, it's sort of amazing for me to look back and to realize that I'm where I want to be without a tremendous amount of what felt like calculation.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: What is failure to you and what would be success to you?
LENA DUNHAM: It's very easy for me to say what success is. I think success is connecting with an audience who understands you and having a dialogue with them. I think success is continuing to push yourself forward creatively and not sort of becoming a caricature of yourself. I think success is figuring out a balance between a really rich, intense, fulfilling work life, and the kind of personal life that makes that work life possible and that makes that work life meaningful. I think failure would be the opposite of those things. I think it would be becoming too involved with sort of the traditional markers of success. I think it would be stopping my sort of pursuit of new forms of expression. And I think it would be putting something out in the world that didn't feel honest and exciting to me, because I really feel firmly that even if I sort of put a show out that was some kind of commercial success and I didn't feel like it was sort of sending the message out into the world that felt essential to me, it wouldn't feel like a success to me at all.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: At 25 you were a show runner, which is unusual, if not completely insane and unheard of in Hollywood. Do you feel a pressure to represent young women? I mean do you feel like there is this added burden of, I've been given this great opportunity. A lot of people are watching and if I'm successful I'm not just successful for me, and if I'm not successful I'm not just failing for me?
LENA DUNHAM: I definitely had those moments. I definitely had moments where I was like I don't want to do anything that's going to make them think this is why we don't give shows to 25-year-old girls. I was like, that's why I don't have a small dog that I take to set with me. I'd love to have a small dog, but I don't think it would be good for all of us if I were to carry a small dog to set with me. So, those are definitely the moments where I think to myself it's hugely important to me to sort of represent seriously and sort of that's why ‑‑ I always think about that line from "League Of Their Own," like there's no crying in baseball. I do a lot of repeating to myself, there's no crying in baseball. But, then you also have to be comfortable sort of revealing your vulnerability and showing the people around you what the challenges are, because the fact is that I hadn't had the level of experience that a lot of show owners had. I was in a position where I had to really push to be taken seriously by certain kind of older male crewmembers, or comedy writers that you run into at a party. So, it's a constant give and take. But, I definitely had those anxieties and I think only now after having finished the second season am I starting to feel like there's a chance I might actually know what I'm doing.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN: Lena Dunham it's nice to have you.
LENA DUNHAM: Thank you so much.
Thank you. (Applause.)

Bad Customer Service
Posted by Not too keen on 01/26/2009
Let's just start off by saying they knew that they had me in a corner when I was buying my stove. Last summer when oil prices were $4+ a gallon I wanted to by a stove and every place I went to were sold out and had a back order of at least 6 months. Now I had done some shopping around and the average price for the mount vernon was around 4,000 except for enchanted fireside, they were 4,800!!!(before installation costs). After doing the math for oil for one year @ the current prices(4.75), my wife and I decided to buy it anyway. So we put down our 50% and applied for low interest payment plan through their lender. Meanwhile they had told us it would take about 2 months before the stove would be in. that was fine because it still was summer. But about 2 weeks before the stove was to come in they informed us that our application was denied because they had decided to go with a different lending company and that we were responsible to come up with the rest of the money before they can install it. TOTAL BS!!! It took them 6 weeks to tell us this. then only 2 weeks to come up with 2,500. Then once it was installed had some problems with the stove and took them 2 weeks to get back to me. And even them they tried to blow me off!! It finally took me yelling at them to get someone to fix my stove. You should not have to yell at someone to get something fixed that they warranty!!!!
P.S. I also like when you call them and how they direct you call..... existing customers get and voice mail, but if your a new customer, you get to talk to someone directly in the showroom. Maybe you should take care of the people that have already given you business!!!!!

Onsided Fireside
Posted by Mattyd007 on 02/20/2009
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS -- I should have known from the second I ordered my two gas fireplaces from Enchanted Fireside that this was not a company built for service. They mandated that I pay in full before I could schedule an installation in January of 2008. They don't have their own technicians and the sub contractor was so busy that he didn't install them until March! He didn't even complete the wiring of them at that time. I constantly called Enchanted Fireside and the sub contractor and finally after I contacted the manufacturer directly to complain the wiring was completed in October of 2008! In January of 2009 the wiring failed. I contacted the service dept. of Enchanted Fireside and they said they would order the replacement part. They had never been to my house to inspect the problem so I asked them how they knew that it was the appropriate fix. They said that it was a common issue. It took 1 month to get the parts. Needless to say when the sales manager got to my house, it was NOT the issue. So here I am on Feb. 20th, 2009, 2 1/2 weeks later waiting for the part. I have constantly called and they "yes" you to death on the phone. So there goes another Winter!
Bottom line is stay away from this company at all costs!

Posted by Slimjim on 2009-02-21:
Their contractor choice is 95% of the problem here. This is a good review, but really only for those who live in your region and need installation. A builder would use his own subs and someone living in NH would get a different installer, who frankly, can only be better. Still, the blame here is on Enchanted for not being able to send a reliable contractor.

I had no problems with Enchanted Fireside when we got our pellet stove. and we had no problems with the guy who installed it either.

Pellet Stove installation disaster
Posted by Danacwt on 11/02/2006
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS -- Well - I'd written earlier to complain about the lack of communication and unacceptable installation delays of our pellet stove. Finally, on 10/31/06 (7 days AFTER the owner advised us the installer would be calling), the installer showed up with the pellet stove for the installation. And that's where NEW problems arose. See, he stated where we wanted to put the stove couldn't be done without costing more money. I called, very upset, and asked for the owner (who we'd been dealing with from the start). He was with a customer, so I explained it was urgent as we had their installer here saying he couldn't put the stove in where it was supposed to go. Of course, just like their lack of communication in the past, they never called back. I had to call the owner again 40 minutes later. I argued with the owner about the new installation price being $1,000 vs the $500 he had quoted when we put our deposit down on the stove. He kept trying to blame it on the town bldg inspector and stated "well, if that what he wants then there's nothing I can do". I told him, "that's not the way the inspector wants the stove installed, that's the CODE!!! We argued and finally he said he'd refund our money. WHAT??? I've got $600 worth of wood pellets sitting in my basement, we didn't want a refund. So then he kind of yelled and said "I'm not going to argue with you, I mean WHAT TO DO YOU WANT??!!" I replied "What do I WANT??? How about a little customer service, and some good will. We don't buy pellet stoves everyday, but you sell them everyday and should be familiar with the code!". He said "We rely on what you tell us" and I said "Yeah- and I relied in good faith on what YOU told us. I only have 500 set aside for this installation, where am I supposed to come up with another 500 dollars? Should I just leave the stove sitting on my front lawn?!!" So he replied testily "WELL, I'M not going to absorb the total cost of the installation" And I said that I didn't expect him too, but I did expect some good will in the form of money towards the installation.
At that point the installer told my husband that a service rep from the store is supposed to go out to each house and check to make sure everything can be done the way the customer wants PRIOR to the installer going out. We never had anyone come out to our house to check and make sure, before they quoted us the installation cost, that we could put the stove where we wanted it to go. So, the owner spoke to the installer and got the pricing for all the additional piping that would be needed. Final total $500 for the installation plus an additional $460 for the added pipes that were needed to meet code regulations. Of course, we did have to pay for 1/2 of the $460 as he would only take 50% of the blame.
We will NEVER recommend this store too anyone, nor would we ever make another purchase from Enchanted Fireside. No one ever returned our phone calls - we always had to chase them down by calling again and again. The delays were unacceptable from the deposit date until the stove was installed - more than 6 weeks (and the stove and parts were in their store 2 1/2 wks after we deposited!!!). Then they held onto our permit application for almost 2 weeks, and told us we were the ones that had the issue with the permit (uh, no - you guys had the paperwork and didn't send it in until 2 weeks later).
This store and owner is strictly in business to take your money - they don't give 2 cents about customer service or honesty & integrity. What kind of owner tells a customer "there's nothing I can do!" - That's NOT good service!! And you know what? I shouldn't have HAD to ask for money off etc - it should have been offered upfront for all the hassles. BEWARE OF THIS STORE!!! There's more problems, but this is already long enough. Total Cost was supposed to be $3,800 and ended up costing $4,030. And this was to have saved us money this winter on our heating bills. It'll take 2 years to actually realize any savings. I should've listened to my husband and visited Franklin Fireplace (who were cheaper for the SAME stove), but based on Enchanted's negative comments about the other store (highly unprofessional), we unfortunately bought from Enchanted. But I've learned my lesson on this store and plan to tell others looking for woodstoves, pellet stoves etc to STAY AWAY, RUN AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN!!!

Posted by Timboss on 2006-11-02:
It sounds like a rep should have come to your house to see exactly where you wanted the stove because the owner didn't. But, the price would have gone up anyway, because the stove could not be put "where we wanted to put the stove" without additonal work to meet code. If anything I would go to this company because they actually paid for work on your stove that you should have paid to meet code. When we had a stove installed I checked to see what all the codes were so I knew in advance. You got a deal.
Posted by danacwt on 2006-11-03:
I agree - the price would have gone up to meet the code. But the fact is that we'd relied on the owner's installation quote and set aside that amount of money. If you read the other post I wrote about the delays and runaround we got (them holding onto permit application for 2weeks, pushing us down on the installation queue because of their holding permit app too long, lack of communication, etc)this was just the straw that broke the camel's back. And I don't think we got a deal - I think the owner was obligated to help defray the cost of the new installation amount, due to the fact that they were negligent by quoting us an amount (in writing) and never checking out our house.
Posted by danacwt on 2006-11-03:
Also - this store has 3 complaints against at the BBB, and the other store we were going to go with (before they bad-mouthed it), has no complaints at all.
Posted by bigbangerik on 2006-11-03:
go to lowes! they sell pellet stoves, pellets, installs, and its all cheaper than any fireplace store! good luck :)
Posted by danacwt on 2006-11-03:
Unfortunately, as you can see by my post - the stove's already been installed. Next house, we'll look into Lowe's - always found them to have good customer service.
Posted by bigbangerik on 2006-11-04:
Posted by squeekie on 2007-01-08:
I had no problems with this store, except we had to wait for the install because our hearth was back ordered. we paided 400 100 less than the quote. your problem here also seems to be with the installer, they sub contract from the store itself. and if you had to pay extra to put the stove where you wanted it don't blame the store. the guidelines from the town are very clear on whats needed.
Posted by danacwt on 2007-01-09:
That's fine for you to say that we had a problem with the installer - I understand that they subcontract the installations. However, if you read my post - the store is supposed to send a rep out BEFORE the installation to make sure that the stove can be put where the customer wants it to go, and if not at least the customer knows in advance. We used THEIR contractor who they recommended and he stated that what had happened to us happens very frequently because the store neglects to send someone out to check out the install site before they send the installer. And the installer has to pay the store 1/2 the cost of the installation - so the store IS directly involved and can be blamed. It was their responsibility to check out our home and make sure everything was okay before quoting and installation cost!
Posted by squeekie on 2007-01-10:
I still think its the contractors fault. they should have been able to tell you. It bites that that happened to you and yes you most likely got hosed on installation, but did you tell the store what the installer did, maybe then they will not use this contractor again.

Pellet Stove & Installation
Posted by Danacwt on 10/26/2006
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS -- We purchased a pellet stove from this store on 9/16/06, and deposited $2,000. We were told that we'd be contacted by the installer that Enchanted uses, and the stove would be installed within 5 weeks. 3 weeks ago Enchanted called to advise us that the stove and all the parts were in, and we'd been placed on the "call to install" queue.To date, 10/26/06 we have NEVER received a call from the installer and it has now been 6 weeks from the date we deposited. I called numerous times, but my calls weren't returned - until I stated I was considering cancelling the sale and going somewhere else (Total of $3,800).
Finally, on 10/25/06 the owner called my husband and stated that the reason we've had to wait so long is because there was an issue with the permit application - the issue was that it took 2 weeks longer than expected to get the permit. My husband replied that it didn't take "US" 2 weeks to get the permit, he had brought the paperwork, per the advice of Enchanted, to Enchanted on Saturday 9/23/06 to have them fill out the applications. He stated at that time that I (his wife) would be in the next Saturday 9/30/06 to pick it up. When I got to the store the next Saturday (1 week later)I was advised that the paperwork was still being filled out and the store would mail it to the town directly. They could have called to let me know, seeing as they knew I was coming to pick it up - it would've saved me a one hour roundtrip drive. Basically, the paperwork sat at the store for almost 2 weeks before it was completely filled out and mailed to the town building inspector on 10/5/06! It was the store that didn't get the paperwork in timely. So, the owner advised us because of the 2 week lapse we had been pushed back 2 weeks in the installation queue, but that the installer would be calling us that night. As of now, the next day 10/26/06 -we have yet to hear from the installer. Funny thing is, the day before we put a deposit on the stove, I was advised that if we bought the stove from Enchanted Fireside, the installation would be done in 2 weeks. The next day when we came in to deposit the stove, it was suddenly now going to take 5 weeks to have it put in. We've never had this kind of service from any other place we've bought household items for. This stove was ordered to save us money on our gas bills. As of now it looks like IF the installer EVER calls, it will probably be at least 1 week before he can get here to put it in, and THEN we have to wait till the building inspector comes out to check it out before we can even light the stove! You'd think for as much money as we spent at the store, they'd be more upfront and willing to help - at this point I think they should refund some of the commission they're making on this sale.

Horrible stove and very poor customer service
Posted by Rsa06 on 01/04/2013
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS -- I bought a quadrafire from enchanted about 3 years ago and have had numerous issues that of course always happen during the winter. After buying it the control box failed and I was down for 3 weeks waiting for a repair person. Last year I had numerous issues that included a defective ignitor that caused me to be down for a week. I could not pay the 80.00 for an ignitor that I could get online for 35.00. Now my pellet stove keeps blowing fuses. I called enchanted and they wanted 15.00 for a 1.00 fuse! I bought a pack of 5 for 5.86 from Granger and guess what the piece of junk keeps blowing fuses. Enchanted can get someone out here in guess......, you got that right 3 weeks!
So if you like being charged excessively for parts and wait weeks for service then buy from these bums. Trust me when your stove breaks, and it will, you will wait 2-3 weeks for anyone to come out. My son bought a Harmin from The Stove Shop in Shrewsbury and has not had a day of problems. Stay away from Enchanted they sell you and do not support them after

A pellet stove is a surprisingly sophisticated piece of equipment. I have a Quadrafire woodstove, and of course there is nothing mechanical or electrical to fail.
I'm sorry you are having so many problems with your pellet stove. Quadrafire had a problem with a particular model, which I believe they corrected in later production.
I don't know if the lion's share of the problem is the stove or your local dealer, based on your description. It does sound like you are paying top dollar for repairs. Hope they get you running soon, and that stove becomes more dependable.

Woodstove purchase and install
Posted by Aaronf30 on 10/06/2010
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS -- Great store.
Read these reviews before I went to fireside and it made me a little nervous, I also looked at BBB (they receive an A+) so that calmed me a little. What really attracted me to them was there 0% for a year financing and the selection they have. On the weekend they are pretty busy they got to me in about 15 minutes, but the second time (after I price shopped) on a weekday it was very easy to get served and they seem to know what they are doing. In the area (MA) they had the best price I could find on a hearthstone shelburne. They told me it would be installed in 2-3 weeks, and it was installed in 2. The installer did good work. They were within 50 dollars on the install cost which I was happy with.
I think, could be wrong, that the store is owned by a married couple who helped me and they were both nice, the woman is good looking, and fairly low pressure. On the first day before I had decided they didn't ask me for a deposit or anything which I appreciate.
I would and probably will shop there again if I live in the area.

Excellent service
Posted by Squeekie on 08/28/2006
WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS -- We had been shopping around for a pellet stove checked out a few places, most of the people we talked to were rude and acted as if we were wasting their time. We originally decided on one company. something about the place turned me off, so I kept shopping, came across this Enchanted Fyreside , called, very friendly husband and wife run. They didn't try and sell us stuff we didn't want and the cost was about $700 les than the other store for a better product and service (this price included installation and delivery) so that 700.00 will pay for our 3 tons of pellets.

Boy I feel out of it, but what is a Pellet Stove?
Posted by Anonymous on 2006-08-28:
Hey Spart...
As the name suggests, pellet stoves burn "pellets." These actually are recycled sawdust, wood shavings, corn, walnut and peanut shells, and similar biomass wastes that are ground up, compressed and extruded. The 3/8-inch to 1-inch-long pellets look like rabbet feed, and they're sold in manageable 40-pound bags. Some pellet stoves are also designed to burn corn kernels, nutshells, and wood chips.
Try this: http://hometips.com/csprotected/guides/pellet.html

Interesting, I'll have to consider something like this for the new house.
Posted by Sparticus on 2006-08-28:
Thanks for the info Lidman. I've never heard of these stoves. With the cost of gas and electric going up I may need one of these someday...=)
Posted by SHELLBY on 2006-08-28:
I would be concerned of the recycled sawdust and woodshavings, because it is porous, where was it recycled from? I wouldnt want to burn anything that has been exposed to chemicals or toxic waste. It sounds like a great idea besides that.

Hey guys, if you are considering a pellet stove. here is what you need to know. Do I need a fire place? Nope, but they do have fireplace inserts if you do have one. Cost stove itself probobly costs around 1500 to start, (maybe more maybe less depends what you want) install about another 400.00 you can get neat extras like fake logs, looks pretty. piping and all will be about another $100. pellets are about 250-300 a ton . a 1300 Sq ft house will use about 2-3 tons a heationg season
Posted by squeekie on 2006-08-29:
No the pellets are completely safe, but if concerned you can do corn instead, just make sure the stove accomodated both.

I'm having corn on the cob for lunch ... would you like me to save the cobs for you?

Is that a TP joke? DB
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2006-08-30:
No, but the thought crossed my mind.
Posted by squeekie on 2006-08-30:
DB, sure why not. But with the cost of a tank of gas you might want to brew your own too.

See complaint on this store- may be nice in the "slow" summer months. But our experience was this store's staff badmouthing another stove dealer we were considering (who was less money by $400). They stated the other store did "poor installation and had numerous complaints", and so when we decided to buy from Enchanted they promised an installation time frame that they haven't kept to date! Ordered 9/16/06 - still waiting for stove to be installed as of 10/26/06!

A traditional Southern favorite, spoonbread is a typically savory dish that's like a cross between a soufflé and cornbread. Here we transform the simple ingredients into a comforting dessert with the addition of summer's best raspberries and pure Vermont maple syrup. Any type of cornmeal will work, but we love the texture that stone-ground provides.

sqitch-deploy - Deploy changes to a database
sqitch [options] deploy sqitch [options] deploy <target> sqitch [options] deploy --to-target <target>
Deploy changes to the database. Changes will begin from the current deployment state. They will run to the latest change, unless a target is specified, either via
--to or with no option flag, in which case changes will be deployed up-to and including that target.
If the database it up-to-date or already deployed to the specified target, no changes will be made. If the target appears earlier in the plan than the currently-deployed state, an error will be returned, along with a suggestion to instead use sqitch-revert.
Specify the deployment target. Defaults to the last point in the plan. See sqitchchanges for the various ways in which change targets can be specified.
Specify the reversion mode to use in case of failure. Possible values are:
In the event of failure, revert all deployed changes, back to the point at which deployment started. This is the default.
In the event of failure, revert all deployed changes to the last successfully-applied tag. If no tags were applied during this deployment, all changes will be reverted to the point at which deployment began.
In the event of failure, no changes will be reverted. This is on the assumption that a change is atomic, and thus may may be deployed again.
Verify each change by running its verify script, if there is one. If a verify test fails, the deploy will be considered to have failed and the appropriate reversion will be carried out, depending on the value of
Don't verify each change. This is the default.
Set a variable name and value for use by the database engine client, if it supports variables. The format must be
name=value, e.g.,
--set defuser='Homer Simpson'. Overrides any values loaded from the
deploy.variables configuration.
Log the changes as if they were deployed, but without actually running the deploy scripts. Useful for an existing database that is being converted to Sqitch, and you need to log changes as deployed because they have been deployed by other means in the past.
Target to deploy to. You probably don't want to set this.
Deploy mode. The supported values are the same as for the
--mode option.
Boolean indicating whether or not to verify each change.
A section defining database client variables. Useful if your database engine supports variables in scripts, such as PostgreSQL's
psql variables.
Part of the sqitch suite.

DETROIT (AP) -- Full-size pickups once again dominated U.S. auto sales in May, as small businesses -- increasingly confident in the economy -- raced to replace the aging pickups they held on to during the recession.
Car-buyers, too, were lured by low interest rates and Memorial Day sales.
Overall, U.S. consumers bought 1.4 million vehicles in May, up 8 percent from the same month a year ago, according to Autodata Corp.
Most automakers topped analysts' expectations last month, with Nissan reporting its highest May sales ever after cutting prices on seven popular models.
"Our Nissan sales have been up greatly," said Russ Kauffeld, general manager of Bachman Bernard Nissan-Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram.
"Sales have actually been crazy," Kauffeld said. "We're on pace for the best sales year ever since we've had Nissan (1981)," Kauffeld told The Greeneville Sun Wednesday in an interview.
While all Nissan models are selling quickly, Kauffeld said the Nissan Rogue SUV and Nissan Frontier pickup have been the most popular.
Chrysler, Ford, Honda and Toyota also reported increases nationwide. Only Volkswagen's sales were down from last May.
Automakers sold 173,972 full-size pickups in May, the highest total since a year-end rush last December, according to Ward's AutoInfoBank.
Sales of Ford's F-Series pickup, which is the country's best-selling vehicle, rose 31 percent to a six-year high of 71,604 nationally.
That comes as no surprise to Kevin Ross, sales manager at Gateway Ford.
"The F-Series has always been number one for us," Ross said in an interview with the Sun. "It dominates the competition like none other. It's our top Ford product."
F-Series sales at Gateway Ford have been up since the start of the year, Ross said.
Gateway Ford is the number one Ford dealer in its zone, which includes parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, Ross added.
Ford said in early May that it's adding 2,000 workers to the Kansas City, Mo., plant that makes the F-150.
General Motors and Chrysler also posted full-size truck sales gains of more than 20 percent.
The Federal Reserve's low interest rate policies have helped sales by keeping loan rates low.
A 48-month new-car loan now averages 2.92 percent, according to Bankrate.com.
Strong sales of pickups in May -- not typically a blowout month for trucks -- signal that businesses feel more certain about the future, said Jesse Toprak, senior analyst for the TrueCar.com auto pricing site.

Dark Chocolate
Did you know that dark chocolate candy has antioxidants, helps prevent heart disease, and can improve your mood? There you go! Three great reasons to stock up on dark chocolate candy like Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate, Dove Dark Chocolate Bars, and maybe some sugar-free dark chocolate for truly guiltless pleasure.
We also have Brach's Dark Chocolate Covered Raisins and we like to think that they count as a serving of fruit, as well. Either way, it doesn't really matter since the "covered in dark chocolate" part is the thing that really counts.

There are more than 725 daguerreotypes in the Prints & Photographs Division. The majority of the images are portraits, but the collection does include early architectural views, outdoor scenes, and copies of works of art.
385 of the daguerreotypes are credited to Mathew Brady's studio. Brady, who today is mainly remembered for the work produced by his studio during the Civil War, opened his first daguerreotype studio in New York City in 1844. The Library has the largest collection of Brady studio daguerreotypes in existence. Most of these were acquired in 1920 from the Army War College. Some of the images are copy daguerreotypes. Portrait sitters represented in the collection include political figures, such as President James K. Polk and Thomas Hart Benton; artists, including Thomas Cole, George Peter Alexander Healy, and Henry Inman; and journalists, Horace Greeley, Henry J. Raymond, and James Gordon Bennett. Many of the sitters are unidentified.
John Plumbe's architectural daguerreotypes of sites in the Washington-Baltimore area are the earliest existing photographic views of buildings and monuments in the nation's capital and its neighboring city. Dating from 1846 or so, the six views include images of the White House, the Capitol, the Patent Office, the General Post Office, and a monument commemorating the Battle of North Point (Baltimore). The Library acquired these views in 1972.
The earliest known portraits of President and Mrs. Abraham Lincoln are daguerreotypes, presented to the Library in 1937 by their granddaughter, Mrs. Charles Isham. The quarter-plate portrait of Lincoln was most likely taken shortly after the thirty-seven year old was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. It has been attributed to photographer N.H. Shepherd, who ran a gallery in Springfield, Illinois, in 1846-1847. This attribution is based upon the recollections of a member of the Lincoln and Herndon law office.
In 1996 the Library acquired the Marian S. Carson Collection, an extensive collection of early Americana, which includes nearly 100 daguerreotypes. Most noteworthy is an 1839 daguerreotype self-portrait by Robert Cornelius, believed to be the earliest extant American photographic portrait. Other strengths of the Carson Collection include several street views of Philadelphia from the 1840s; numerous daguerreotypes documenting the McAllister family, including stereo daguerreotype portraits and images made by William Young McAllister, an amateur daguerreotypist; two occupational daguerreotypes of firemen; and a stunning full-length portrait of the artist William Sidney Mount by Mathew Brady.
Many daguerreotypes have come to the Library with the manuscript collections of prominent Americans. Such collections include the Clara Barton Collection, the Gilbert H. Grosvenor Collection of Alexander Graham Bell Family Photographs, the Feinberg/Whitman Collection, the Anson Conger Goodyear Collection of Lincoln images, the Blackwell Family Collection, and the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection.
The American Colonization Society collection, a group of material related to African American emigration to Liberia, contains thirty daguerreotypes of Liberian government officials and other colonists. The sitters include Joseph Jenkins Roberts, the first president of Liberia; his wife, Jane Roberts; Stephen Allen Benson, Secretary of the Treasury under Roberts; and Edward W. Blyden, who became a prominent educator in Liberia. Five images have the name of the photographer, Augustus Washington, stamped on their brass mats. Washington was a black daguerreotypist who operated a studio in Hartford, Connecticut, until November 1853 when he moved to Liberia. An additional eleven images, housed in identical brass mats and preservers, were also most likely taken by Washington.
In 1999 the Library acquired the Anthony Bardoza Collection which includes more than 50 daguerreotypes, many by black photographers. The collection provides researchers with the opportunity to study the work of black daguerreotypists within the context of their contemporaries. The highlight of the collection is a group of portrait daguerreotypes by J.P. Ball, an African American who operated a studio in Cincinnati, Ohio. The collection also includes more than 25 daguerreotypes by Francis Grice, an obscure black daguerreotypist originally from Haiti, who settled in the U.S. in the 1850s.

Hey man, didn't mean to come down on ya.
Editing your title was necessary in my eyes because it was incorrect info and a lot of hardcore fans would've been really disappointed by the thread if it kept its original title. Deletion was probably for the best imo.
Here's hoping they play it some day.
Hey, idea.... lets do something that involve Songs from the Black H*** renditions!

A famous singer would be nice. Someone with enormous appeal across multiple generations. Someone who would do a benefit concert here in town. Ridgway isn't a frequent stop on the concert circuit so this would be a fun, out-of-the-way stop. Of course we don't have a big concert venue like a coliseum, the Hollywood Bowl or Red Rocks. It would be a great benefit concert for the secondary school music room and gym funding initiative.
A concert would also be another chance to have an entire community together – to see friends and feel what it is to be with a community. Then we would have to decide what it means. Are we Ridgwayites? Ourayeans, Ouray Countyites? Maybe we haven't thought about the term yet because we haven't fully united. So maybe having an indoor venue where we could unite the entire community would be a huge plus. Rodeo is cool and gets us in touch with our equine/bovine roots in the county, but not everybody likes rodeo. It would have to be something bigger.
So my famous singer friend could pack an auditorium – or a gymnasium. We could probably bring in some local talent to do backup vocals or even backup music. We have some really talented musicians in the community. I saw guitarists and pianists and flautists and more last spring that were quite impressive. Of course the acoustics in the secondary school lunchroom didn't really do them justice, but the talent was there. I'm sure my friend would appreciate some of the local musicians. I'm sure the local musicians would also be touched by my friend and look back for years on the time they jammed or backed up such a famous person.
In fact, the reverberations would last for a long time. People would probably come out of the woodwork to get involved in the music programs to get prepared for the next time that a famous musician needs some backup. Math test scores would go up accordingly because cognitive scientists have determined that there is a positive correlation between music and math – something about scales and relationships. With all these math whizzes about, we could have a big career expo and spin off a couple ideas for high tech start-up companies. Then we'd be glad we had a nice indoor venue where we could meet as a community. We'd come to look forward to the big art show, and the music-fest, and the theatrical productions, the bigger and better ski swap, the martial arts exposition, the gospel choir festival, and the mother of all garage sales. These would become as popular as the turkey dinner, which of course we'd take to even greater heights.
Of course my friend would have to be a very good friend indeed, once I come clean that we really don't currently have an indoor venue where he or she could come to perform. Coming all the way to
It seems like having an indoor venue is much more than a part of the school. It is a community thing. The real anchor of the community where we can be united. Where we can have some fun. Where we can partake of the best of music and sport. I just need to have a famous friend. Or do I? Or do you?
Please support the Ridgway Secondary School Gym and Music Room. Help our community build a place to play.
Dale Hagemeyer is a member of the communications committee for the Ridgway Secondary School Gym and Music Room Funding Initiative.

We love COOP fans! Connect with COOP and friends that share your interests on our social networks, sign-up for COOP email, or come out and participate in the beach soccer events we sponsor.
An Instant Classic
The COOP brand originated with a simple idea to make sports products from neoprene - the same material used in wetsuits. It was conceived the organic way; on the North Shore Beach in Oahu, Hawaii with a soaking wet football and a flash of an idea. Next came different colored neoprene, then patterns and real laces. Since then, COOP has evolved into a fashion forward, active lifestyle company, committed to making more fun days playing in the pool, backyard, at the beach or in the snow. Bottom line, COOP makes play time more fun. No more wasted snow days, no more slippery footballs, no more soggy soccer balls, and when we say waterproof wetballs, we mean it.
Beach Soccer
The COOP Beach Soccer Championships take place every May and June in sunny southern California. Kids, adults, and pro beach soccer players converge on the beaches at Huntington Beach, Oceanside and Long Beach for three exciting weekends full of sand soccer, friends, and fun events.
COOP Shredz™ provides a new way to have fun in the snow. This collection of high-performance poseable snowboarding action figures and accessories can actually ride the mountain!

love it love it. yes would buy it again. love the color of the stones and that thet are inset.just a beauitful ring
I absolutely love this ring! It looks great on my hand and I have already received numerous compliments on it. It is just the right size and very comfortable. I have never owned black diamonds before, but will definitely purchase more in the future!
Very disappointed in the look of the ring and the quality. And to call it a black diamond ring is totally misleading.
I ordered this ring to wear as a wedding band with my new 2 carat black diamond solitaire. All I can say is, "Stunning!" I love the look, love the ring and really love the price. This ring ring looks like you paid much, much more than you actually did. It is comfortable as well. I am so glad that this is part of my new wedding set.
I would recommend this product to everyone. The width is just what I was looking for. the sizing fit perfectly. I do a lot of shopping on Overstock.com and I am very impressed with everything I buy.
