NEW YORK -- Just stay positive.
That's the mantra Saint Peter's point guard Nick Leon will carry with him when the No. 14 seed Peacocks take the floor against Purdue in the first round of the NCAA tournament Friday in Chicago.
Leon knows 14-seeds are just 16-88 all time in the opening round. And he recognizes that the No. 3 seed Boilermakers are bigger, stronger and faster than the Peacocks at nearly every position.
But Leon remains optimistic about Saint Peter's chances Friday night, regardless of circumstance or seed.
"I think as long as we stay positive and stick together, we can play with them," says Leon, a member of two city championship teams while at Brooklyn's Abraham Lincoln High School. "As long as we don't get down on each other and don't panic we'll be OK. We just have to stay positive, no matter what."
• • •
That upbeat approach has served Leon well, on and off the basketball court, helping him overcome long odds and plenty of obstacles en route to the Big Dance.
Leon, 22, has recently come to grips with one of the earliest and most painful obstacles from his past.
Leon said earlier this week that he was sexually molested as a young child by a "friend of the family" while growing up in Florida. He said that the man would touch him inappropriately while the two were alone.
"I didn't know what was going on," said Leon, who moved from Florida to Borough Park when he was 10. "I'm a little boy that's thinking that I have a friend. He just always wanted to be around me.
"But he was always feeling on me and things of that nature. ... I didn't want to go to [tell] my family because I was so scared; I didn't know what to do. He was telling me that if I go tell somebody that I was going to get in trouble."
Leon said the man molested him "when I was 5 or 6." He said that the perpetrator, who was in his late teens or early 20s, was later arrested for sexually molesting another boy.
"I used to think about it all the time. Sometimes I'd be up at night crying, like, 'Why did this happen to me?'" Leon said. "I just didn't want to talk about it because I didn't want anyone to think I was [homosexual]. I was scared. So I kept it inside and pretended I was just a regular kid."
Leon recently told a few close family members about the incident. He says he's talking about it now, on the eve of one of the biggest nights of his life, in part because he hopes other victims of child molestation gain strength from his story.
"I want them to know that it doesn't all have to be bad," he said. "They should know that everything can turn out OK."
• • •
Leon has earned a degree in psychology from Saint Peter's. He has also transformed himself from an undersized shooting guard into a capable floor leader for the Peacocks.
Saint Peter's finished 6-24 in 2007-08, Leon's first season. The Jersey City school bounced back from an 0-3 start this season to win the MAAC championship and qualify for the NCAA tournament for the first time in 16 years.
Leon, a 5-foot-11, 170-pound sharpshooter, finished with 15 points and three assists in the MAAC championship game, a 62-57 win over Iona.
"He transformed himself from a player who can shoot 3s into a pretty good point guard," said Saint Peter's coach John Dunne. "He made all the right plays for us in the championship game."
Earlier this week, Leon called Dunne "a father figure, a best friend and a brother."
That statement had more to do with the guidance Dunne provided Leon off the court than anything the coach taught him about basketball.
Three days into Leon's freshman year at Saint Peter's, the NCAA ruled him academically ineligible. He couldn't play basketball his first year at Saint Peter's. He also lost his four-year scholarship.
Making matters worse, Leon's father, Eddie Leon, began serving a prison sentence on federal drug charges weeks before Nick was ruled ineligible.
"It felt like I just lost my whole world," Nick said, recalling the day Dunne informed him of the NCAA's decision. "I felt depressed. It took everything out of me."
With his father in prison, Nick had to choose between paying $40,000 to attend Saint Peter's or leaving to go to junior college in North Carolina.
Leon decided to stay at the Jersey City school in part to stay close to Brooklyn and help his stepmother, Gina, care for his three younger brothers and younger sister. Gina was pregnant when Nick's father went to prison in 2006.
"I couldn't leave my family, there was no way," Leon said.
With financial help from his stepmother and constant counseling from Dunne, Leon completed the requisite coursework and qualified for the four-year scholarship he was promised.
"He just needed to buckle down and focus," Dunne said. "He had a lot at stake and sometimes when you're 18 years old you don't understand that."
• • •
Leon is now working on his master's degree in education. His father was released from prison last June, one month too late to see his son walk in the Saint Peter's graduation ceremony. Eddie was in the stands for Saint Peter's senior day Feb. 25, and he thanked Dunne for helping his son earn a college degree.
"I respect [Dunne] because he promised my son would get a degree and he did," Eddie Leon said through tears during an interview this week. "I made a mistake in my life, I know that. But my son, he's made it. I'm so proud."
A dozen or so family members will make the trip to Chicago to watch Nick play Purdue on Friday. But Eddie will have to watch from the living room of his Borough Park home. He can't leave the state due to the terms of his early release from prison.
"I'll be yelling here, calling plays from my couch," he said.
No matter what happens against Purdue, Nick Leon hopes to play professionally, possibly overseas, after his college career. If that doesn't materialize, he'd like to stay involved in sports in some capacity, possibly as an athletic director.
"I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm just going to stay positive," he said. "I've been through a lot, but I've always tried to just stay that way. Sometimes you don't like what's put in front of you but you just have to handle it. That's what I've tried to do."

Certain logic functions such as the control units of VLSI processors are difficult to implement by random logic. Since the programmable logic arrays (PLAs) can implement almost any Boolean function, they have become popular devices in the realization of both combinational and sequential circuits. We present a low-power high-speed complementary-metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit implementation of NOR-NOR PLA using a single-phased clock. Buffering static NAND gates are inserted between the NOR planes to erase the racing problem and shorten the duration of glitches such that the dynamic power is reduced in addition to the low static power dissipation, no ground switch, no charge sharing, and zero offset

I got this product at a steal price at less than 2.5K and I have been thoroughly satisfied with the product, However, there was a considerable delay in the delivery of the product. Pros: 1. It has Printer/Scanner/Copier functionality and all of them work like a charm. 2. The Canon Software/Utility that comes bundled with the printer is very good for scanning and automatically crops the Photos/Documents according to their respective sizes as per our setting kept. The Scanning can be done to a maximum of 600dpi using the software. The Scanning is also very clear and legible. 3. The print quality is neat and doesn't have any smudges over the paper. 4. There is also a copy function which is really good and one can take the copy in colour or B&W. 5. It has WIFI !! and one can just send the documents for print from your laptop, mobile /tablet (with app) to the Printer device and it does its job with ease, hence you can avoid the messing up of the wires and keep the printer at a corner. Cons: 1. It does not give more than 400 prints per cartridge as per the company description of the model. 2. The initial connection for Wifi is a pain and you may have to look out for few Youtube videos or other manuals to do the setting and get it right. 3. The cost of the Cartridge for B&W is around 500 and Colour is around 900 in the market and e-comm sites. That being said, on initial usage for around a week, it has been more than satisfying. The Pros far outweigh the cons, for the price at which I bought. Hence, go ahead and buy this if you are using printing as a minimal function in your day-to-day life. This was truly a Dil Ki Deal! Cheers Snapdeal!
Just dont look for any other printer it is best suited for all ur home needs ...it is best best best printer in this price range... Pros: 1. Original cartridge include in box (both colour and b&w) 2. Easy to use 3. Good quality colour print output..😺😺 4. Wifi connectivity just awesome. 5. Mobile printing Just all u need is to download canon app and register Cons:- 1. Printing speed is slow. 2. Setup is bit difficult. 3.not for office purposes Verdict:- It is very good printer at lowest price ... Best for home use.... I suggest this product to all my friends.... Go ahead buy it.....
A five-on-five deal for me. Got this printer at just Rs.3299/-. A printer, scanner (and copy facility) and a WiFi connectivity at this low price is unimaginable. Its a steal deal. Detail review: PRINTER: A perfect printer, prints in both photo paper and normal 65gsm A4 paper are just fine. First few prints were little hazy, but later on it was fine. SCANNER: Scanner is also working really very good. Photo scanning, document scanning or customized scanning all are just perfect and fine. Copier or xerox as we call is the feature that I would say is not up to the mark, local digital xerox give more sharp printing with less haziness. And copier function printing is slow. CONNECTIVITY: You have both USB 2.0 wired or WiFi wireless interface. WiFi is just the thing I was looking for, so easy to setup and you can print it from a descent distance at your comfort. *This Printer comes with a setup CD, and believe me setup is simple. *I connected my Printer's WiFi interface directly with my WiFi modem and not directly with my Laptop. Advantage- You just need to switch on the Modem and all devices connected with your home WiFi will get access to this printer through modem (including your smartphones). ***Its been a month now, and everything is working fine till now. I had taken up a huge task to digitize hundreds of old photographs stacked in a number of albums during my winter vacation. So I am scanning in an average 20 photos a day (almost every day). Printed about 100+ pages. Used copier about 16 times. Bottom line is using this printer extensively for last one month and it is working fine. [Though scanning photos at a stretch is little time consuming, as this printer takes about 30 sec to warm up every time]
The price i bought this product is amazing. the print scan copy is working properly but the printing quality is bit problematic because while printing a picture a very light lines are coming which is not noticeable still it i will check it with canon technical person. its a inkjet printer so you cannot use it for professional purpose but for home its very good. the main problem with inkjet printers are you have to go for regular printing oyherwise the ink may not work. again the cartridge will be from cannon only. scanning and copy is also working with wifi so that is a advantage to to this printer. over all if you are getting this product with only Rs 2003 then its value for money. all thanks to snapdeal
Got this printer delivered yesterday. Works fine as intended and as I heard about. Printing quality is up to the mark as always. Scanner works perfect. But but but, problem is the same as any inkjet printer has, costly ink cartridges. Better to use with economy settings rather than standard. It will significantly cut down the ink usage. For colour cartridge the problem is you have to buy a new one even just one colour has ran out, it's very annoying, rather to say market policy of CANON to promote refill sale. Recommend to use with usb connection. Wireless connection is a bit disappointing. Very slow and hangs sometimes midway. Otherwise a worthy purchase for home users. Don't expect any kind of A graded printing out of it, it's just good for home use.
I got this printer to help my kids print their project work at home.Snapdeal Packing was absolutely great. It cannot be any better than the way it was packed. It took me just 10 Minutes to Install and configure this printer. I configured over my Wi-Fi network and installed printer drivers on all the Laptops in network. I printed some photos and they came out with good colors. Just use Kodak 270 dpi paper for better results. For regular printing and photo copies use normal A4 papers. You may avoid printing photocopies in color to avoid high consumption of color cartridge. However in order to avoid the cartridges to dry and stop printing, you should print a page every alternate week, when printer is not in use...Do not think Cartridges would last long if not used. You need to print a page once every two weeks to avoid cartridges from drying.
Bought this product at very good rate from snapdeal.Packaging was so perfect it took 10 minutes to open it.Setting up the printer was to easy also there are some youtube videos demonstrating the installation of this printer so we did not had any problem in installing.Print quality is perfect for us as we are using it at our home only.Very lightweight that when i received the package,doubt arised in my mind that the box is empty so I even recorded while unpacking but pheww was happy seeing printer in ther which was very light weight.Print quality is fine not much good but for this price its best.Black and white per copy charges will be like 1 rs or less and for color copy it comes around 3 rs.So it is cheap too.Handling is easy,in normal mode little bit gets noisy but there are options to reduce the noise.Very easy to print that even my 2nd grade failed grandpa can print it easily.Very satisfied with product.
The Canon Pixma E460 is an AIO (all-in-one) printer that offers printing, scanning and copying functions while still maintaining an affordable price tag. Pros: Has all the basic printer functions you need; affordably priced printer and replacement ink cartridges. Cons: No so Far
It is my first hand experience of buying a multi functional printer...It's printing quality and scanning quality is incredible in this price range..got both cl 47 & cl 57 ink cartriges for the 1st time..which is very affordable..then about its copy/xerox quality,which i loved most.colour xerox is awesome besides BW xerox.wif setup is also very easy and it can print wirelessly from each and every corner of a house via an access point...it can also print from smartphones/tablets using pixma solution app if registered in canon ij cloud printing setup....always recommend this product to all..
I had researched a lot before finalising this printer and I'm pretty happy with it. The quality offered by Canon is superior than any other brand in this price range. It was easy to install and both color and black & white prints were superb. The scanner too is great. Value for money:)
awesome printer ,its perfomance is extraordinary
superior print
For those at home having work for just 5-10 pages for reference, scanner is really good, for wireless I give 5
Very very good prodect
do we get ink cart.. free
PG-47 ink cartridge is included in the sales package.
To understand this, you would have to understand how Snapdeal works. Snapdeal basically connects you with a brand authorized seller who offers the best price across the country. So instead of purchasing a product from seller in your locality who may or may not offer you the best price, Snapdeal is connecting you with a seller in India who has the best price. Isn't this amazing?
Kindly refer to the comparison given at the link below: http://www.conzumr.com/br/PRINTER/compare?prodList=3322,3349 Hope this helps!
It has PG-47 ink cartridge and CL-57 ink cartridge.

I'll admit it, I don't believe in anything anymore
My cynicism started during the incredible 1998 home run race.
I, like much of the nation, was riveted watching Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa chase the single-season home run mark. Three years later, it was Barry Bonds who set the mark at 73.
But none of it counts because they all cheated.
McGwire was asked about steroid use in front of Congress. His now infamous response was, "Well, sir, I'm not here to talk about the past. I'm here to talk about the positive and not the negative about this issue." Sosa tested positive for steroids in 2003. Bonds has been involved in a steroids scandal for years. As exciting as it was to watch, rampant steroid use has tainted the entire sport of baseball as much, if not more, than the 1994 strike.
It's so bad that ESPN's Skip Bayless recently wondered if New York Yankee Derek Jeter has been cheating. He's having a great season. As of this writing, Jeter leads baseball in hits and has more than twice as many home runs than he did last year. He's 38. Two other players who have had resurgent seasons have been suspended for using testosterone this year. Melky Cabrera led the National League in hits and Bartolo Colon, who missed the entire 2010 season, was pitching well at the age of 39 for the Oakland A's.
Who is to say who cheats anymore? There's enough of it to taint the entire sport. Now add to all this the world's most famous cyclist, Lance Armstrong, stopped fighting the anti-doping agency that accused him of cheating, despite the fact the USADA still has no actual proof Armstrong doped. It doesn't matter. Armstrong will always be labeled a cheater and the USADA is moving to take away his seven Tour de France titles, even if the witch hunt is questionable.
Sports is tainted. That's not the worst thing that could happen because sports doesn't actually matter. But politics does.
It just so happens politicians are going the same way as athletes. They cheat by bending the truth and by lying in order to secure votes. A former Capitol Hill reporter (who talked to politicians everyday) agrees.
"I feel like I am, as a reporter in the Capitol, lied to every day, all day," said Andrea Seabrook. "There is so little genuine discussion going on with the reporters. To me, as a reporter, everything is spin."
I'll admit it. I hardly believe anything a politician says anymore. During the next two weeks, we'll hear plenty of politicians speaking at their conventions. At best, they'll only bend the truth. During the 2012 campaign, there have been lies about welfare, Medicare, abortion and taxes, just to name a few.
The only truth seems to be everything is a lie. It's disappointing, but it won't work on me. I'll continue to search for the truth and vote based on it.
Do we even remember what the truth is?

A Glum Season for Retailers
By LESLIE KAUFMAN
Published: January 5, 2001
After hoping to the 11th hour that tardy and postseason shoppers would give them a final lift, the nation's merchants released the tally of December sales yesterday and had to admit that they had a spectacularly unmerry holiday season.
Consumers snapped up scooters and calf-hugging leather boots, but otherwise were impervious to everything from diamonds to heavily promoted seamless satin bras -- even at deeply discounted prices. Retail sales at stores open at least a year, a much-watched measure of industry health, rose one-tenth of 1 percent in the five weeks that ended the last week of December, compared with the same period in 1999, according to the Goldman Sachs Index of Retail Sales.
That results were the most anemic since March of 1995, when sales declined 0.1 percent compared with the month a year earlier. It was the worst December growth since Goldman began keeping track in 1987.
Having grown fat on the boom of recent years, retailers now face some tough choices as they are forced to adjust to much more meager sales gains. For the last two holiday seasons, sales grew strongly -- 6.2 percent in 1999 after a 5.5 percent gain in 1998.
''The consumer spending binge of 1998 and 1999 has finally decelerated,'' said George Strachan, a retail analyst with Goldman.
If there was any good news in the post-mortems it was that many industry watchers seemed to think that the December numbers represented something close to the nadir for retailers. ''We've got a consumer under pressure here,'' Mr. Strachan said. ''But based on our leading indicators, we think we are bottoming out.''
Indeed, sagging consumer interest hardly set off the wholesale selling of retail stocks that might have been expected. The Lehman Brothers index of 43 major retailers was up 6.3 percent on the day, a result of gains at Kohl's, Target, Federated and May among others. With interest rates expected to fall further after the Federal Reserve's move on Wednesday, investors appear to believe that retailers have seen the worst and that consumer spending will rebound by late spring or early summer.
But that provided little solace for last month. Almost since the week after Thanksgiving, it has been clear that shoppers are severely tightening the purse strings and being more prudent with credit cards. The weight of a series of interest rate increases, sharply rising fuel prices and a plunging stock market combined to keep spending flat.
The swiftness of the turn in consumer sentiment caught even the most savvy of the nation's merchants off-guard just as they were going into their most critical season. ''The entire economy just hit a wall,'' said Bruce Steinberg, chief economist with Merrill Lynch. ''It was very dramatic.''
The list of retailers that came limping out of this holiday included the nation's mightiest and healthiest companies. Wal-Mart Stores, the juggernaut of the industry, entered the season predicting sales growth of 3 percent; it emerged with growth of 0.3 percent instead. Sales at the Target Corporation, parent of the stylish discounter, slipped 0.1 percent, well below estimated growth of at least 2 percent. The American arm of Tiffany, the luxury jeweler, had expected holiday sales to rise by as much as 5 percent; its sales fell 3 percent.
The Limited Inc., which in midfall had foreseen sales gains of 5 percent, instead emerged with no growth, largely a result of a sudden loss of infatuation with products from Victoria's Secret Stores and Bath and Body Works. Both chains are owned by Intimate Brands, of which the Limited owns 84 percent. Intimate Brands told analysts that it now expected profits for the quarter to come in at 44 to 48 cents a share, down from 55 cents. The Limited cut its profit estimate to 57 cents a share from an earlier estimate of 66 cents.
The lackluster holiday season has already caused casualties among the sector's weaker companies. Last week, two long-struggling chains, Montgomery Ward and Bradlees, both announced that they were closing. Ward cited poor sales as the final straw. And yesterday Sears, Roebuck & Company said that it would close 89 ''underperforming stores'' and lay off 2,400 employees. The company said that only four of those stores would be full-line Sears stores and that the closings had been contemplated well before December.
The results posted yesterday were even worse than widely published data last week. On Dec. 26, the International Council of Shopping Centers reported that sales at specialty stores in malls rose 2.2 percent from Thanksgiving through Christmas. Those numbers did not include the discounters, whose poorer performance was reflected in the lower numbers reported yesterday.
But now that retailers have fully absorbed the pain of the shopping season, investors are looking forward to lower interest rates to contribute to a better spending climate later this year.
''Last year you had the Fed working against you and this year they are working for you,'' said an unusually buoyant Richard L. Church, a retail stock analyst with Salomon Smith Barney.

I find myself writing if statements around variables throughout several functions, to check their state. I would like to have a function fire whenever that variable changes.

Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes, set to become a free agent at the start of the new league year on Tuesday, said on Friday morning during an appearance on NFL Network's "NFL AM" that "both sides could benefit from a fresh start" as it relates to free agency.
"I would never say never," he said of a return to New England before adding, "You know, everybody [says] you never want to burn a bridge, but I just feel like both sides could benefit from a fresh start.
"That being said, in free agency, I just feel like I'm out here, I'm available, I'm 100 percent," he continued. "Any team that is willing to take a chance on me, they're going to get a playmaker, a guy that's very aggressive on the field, looking to be a difference-maker."
Spikes, who had 86 tackles during the 2013 season, was placed on injured reserve in advance of the AFC divisional round in part due to missing a team meeting, ESPN NFL Insider Chris Mortensen reported. Spikes also was dealing with a knee issue during the latter part of the season.
"I think that was a coach's decision," Spikes said of being placed on injured reserve. "And I'm just an employee, you know, what Adam Sandler said, 'just go with it.' I had no choice, but I think, you know, they put me on IR because of my injury. I was definitely devastated to not be able to compete, you know, you fight all season to get to the playoffs and it really hurt me not to be out there with my teammates."
Spikes conceded that he wishes he had handled some things differently.
"I think, you know, overall, you know, if I could do some things differently I would, but it is what it is in the past and I think it's just time to move on," he said.
With free agency right around the corner, Spikes said that he is fully healed from his injury.
"I'm all set," he noted. I'm just ready to ball and go out there and make plays. I'm good, I'm 100 percent."
And while the Patriots appear like an unlikely landing spot for Spikes in 2014, the former second-round pick believes he has the skill set to fit any NFL defense.
"I think any team as far as [my] skill set," he said. "I feel like I'm a three-down player. I know a lot of people know me as a run stopper, but I've got great coverage skills."

Computer, heal thyself
A number of vendors have strategies for bringing autonomic computing to the market, but each has its own vision for doing so.
IBM Corp. views the rollout of autonomic computing as a five-stage road map, in which Level 1 represents the basic state of having no coordinated systems management. Moving up, Level 2 provides centralized management tools but relies on humans to take action. In Level 3, systems can analyze problems and suggest changes. Level 4 offers the ability to correct problems without manual intervention. And Level 5 links autonomic computing to an organization's business objectives. Here, information technology management best practices are automated and become the policy basis for the autonomic system's actions.
IBM is now filling out that framework. "There are various capabilities available today that can get you to Level 4 and 5 in certain parts of the IT infrastructure," said Ric Telford, director of architecture and technology for Autonomic Computing at IBM.
Telford pointed to IBM Tivoli's Monitoring for Transaction Performance, which can allocate more servers and resources if performance degrades. The product works in conjunction with the Workload Manager functionality available on IBM's zSeries mainframe-class servers. Together, the products monitor transaction time and allocate additional resources if performance breaks down. Later this year, IBM plans to offer this self-optimizing feature on other servers — the pSeries and the iSeries, for example — according to company officials.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Isabelle refuses to speak, and her parents are in a panic. Ruth,
Isabelle's mother blames herself, while Wilson, Isabelle's father, vacillates
between hope and denial. Elizabeth Hartley Winthrop takes these three
characters, three perspectives, and one interesting problem to create a novel
that dually investigates the trials of family life and the pains of adolescence.
At the center of Winthrop's story is the silent Isabelle, whose life seems suddenly out of control. In actuality, Isabelle is merely growing up, but to her, things seem disordered and frightening. She recedes into her mind where she watches the world from behind a steel screen of silence and guilt. Isabelle is an astute 11 year old who sees what her silence is doing to her parents, but convinces herself that she cannot speak, that she has forgotten the self that used to be the speaking Isabelle. ...

Packs in a lot of complexity, with aromas of apple, fresh ginger and rubber that lead to crisp and layered flavors of raspberry and spice. Drink now. 173,000 cases made. From California.-T.F.Wine Spectator 2014 Top 100 #54
Technical Notes
Mumm Napa draws from the rich heritage of Champagne Mumm of Reims, France while integrating a unique Napa Valley style to make internationally respected wines of excellent quality. Ludovic Dervin carries on the inspiration that began with Guy Devaux in making Mumm Napa wines, bringing the ripe character of Napa fruit to the forefront while maintaining the classic balance and structure necessary in an outstanding sparkling wine. his hugely popular award winning wine offers touches of vanilla and melon with firm acid and crisp structure. Medium bodied with excellent mousse and a rich lingering finish it is equally at home with a plate of iced oysters fried calamari chicken or a favorite pasta with a mild sauce.

It's funny because it's true.
Go watch this.* Go ahead. I'll wait.
You back? Good.
Now, let's just be clear about one thing here: I have nothing against Macs. (Well, that's not quite true. Macs do have some features that I think are completely stupid. But, then, so do PCs. So there you go.) I do, however, have something against the certain type of Mac Person that those Mac commercials portray. The — how did he put it? — "passively-agressive, we-are-better-than-you" Mac person who is of the firm opinion that Mac Can Do No Wrong. I have encountered people like this in my life, and what I've wanted to do more than anything once the Mac Praising began was hit the Mac Praiser in the face.
Now, after watching that video, whenever I find myself being talked at about how superior Mac is, I simply retreat to my happy place — a place where I never leave home without a Guy Who Likes to Hit People by my side.
*Thanks for sharing, Tim!

I think they look great. I'd buy one if I hadn't already forked out money for a case. Personally, I'd rather have a case that is hand-made opposed to something that is mass-produced in a factory. I'm sure there is a lot of time and thought put into these sleeves, great work.
