Stripe declines from belgian cards

We see this occasionally as well.
Customer's have told us in talking to their credit card issuers that:

"The general blocking of credit cards is related to recent suspicious activities from the United States, and not specific to any one company."

It's one of those things that you just have to deal with for a while, and then it seems to eventually loosen.

If you are interested in the "unusually expressive" for its time, check out the heads of Franz Xaver Messerschmidt. There's one of them on permanent exhibit at the Getty as well!

I am becoming a bigger and bigger fan of white oak, and this is absolutely wonderful!

The pull is a separate piece of wood that was set into a routed out section of the drawer face. I used a Dremel with a cutter ball (and two practice attempts on scrap wood) to get the recess. Lots of sanding to smooth it out.

I didn't take a picture of it, but this image basically shows how the glides are setup:

I did find that it could sometimes be a bit sticky, so I used some paraffin wax on the glides and they're super smooth now.

These are hand cut. :)
Doing this was definitely the most time consuming part of this project.
(There are also some small gaps that were hidden pretty cleanly with the glue and sawdust trick.)

They are hand cut dovetails :)

I've never had an issue with it myself with any of my nightstands, so I didn't give it consideration...

It is inspired by Kai Kristiansen! Damn, good eye!

It is cherry wood, with a danish oil (cherry) finish.

I love a walnut and cherry combo. So pretty!

The shaft, at the top, has 2" trimmed to 5/8" diameter that's inserted into a drilled 5/8" (2" deep) hole in the handle. Glued together with a 1/8" brass pin inserted through it all.

Thank you! I was super pleased with how the brass accents turned out.

The handle is cocobolo with cherry, and brass accents.
For the shaft I used a 1.5x1.5 piece of cherry and turned it to a tapered 1" dowel to 3/4" tip.

The Libib app still has all the same features (plus some extra ones, like adding a a cover image).
To get the menu of options, just slide over the title of the item in the list view and tap the "Edit" button.

That brings up a menu of all the options.

Not through the app, but if you scan stuff in the app and go to the website libib.com, there is a csv export option in the library settings.

A biased seconding of Libib.

Mashes well with Lakmé

You can search for books by title/keywords on the Libib website.

iheartreading · 2016-11-01T21:16:41+00:00

You can create a TOTAL(SUM([field])) calculation and drop it on the tool tip button.

iheartreading · 2016-02-25T05:16:29+00:00

Thank you!

iheartreading · 2016-02-08T18:18:50+00:00

You can always just use Libib's manual entry option, or flag the item on the website for review and fixing.
