No need to include the name of the site in the title when it appears in the URL, per the guidelines. "If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link."

Is Ony Ive Jony's twin? Seriously though, I think this lantern is absolutely gorgeous and would like a lamp like this for my desk or nightstand... but not for $4800. Too rich for me.
