Condo is gorgeous and the pictures are just how it looks! A very comfortable place to escape to. The Pacifico complex is like a luxurious resort but much less crowded. The Beach Club was an added bonus. The condo and grounds were immaculate. It's located a short walk to the "town" for restaurants and/night life. Taxi's are available just outside the gate if needed and are very affordable. The Supermercado is just outside the gate but we shopped at the local grocery across the street for a little immersion into local culture. It is on the third floor but we didn't mind the extra daily exercise. No elevator here though so you must consider this if you have mobility concerns. Keith was a wonderful host, answered all of our questions and has a reliable property manager so you have a local contact if needed. Wifi helped us stay in touch a bit and was especially nice for our colleage age travel companions. We would definitely stay here again and/or recommend it to others.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, girls getaway, age 55+, sightseeing.

You will want for nothing in this beautifully furnished condo. LARGE kitchen fully stocked, large master bedroom and bathroom. 2nd bedroom and bathroom very nice. Large patio facing the pool and mountains. The place looks brand new. If you enjoy granite counter tops, king size bed, tiled floors, very comforatble couch, etc., you will feel at home here. There are 3 pools great for swimming and relaxing on the very comforatble chaise lounges. I would rent it again. This was our 3rd trip to Costa Rica. Each time we stay in a different town. I would describe this town as a "local" feel. The restaurants are average to good. There is A LOT of happy hour happening here and live music. The beach is not very appealing - dark sand but there is a very prett beach 3 miles away - Ocotal. Also, the "town" is perpendicular to the beach as opposed to a town like Tamarindo where the restaurants are on the beach.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, tourists without a car, age 55+.

I am one that will research everything extensively, especially when it comes to travel. We have kids ranging from 4-18, so we have to accommodate a broad range. This condo was perfect. You cannot find a prettier location to stay. The condo accommodated us well. The Pacifico area was perfect. We ALWAYS felt safe. The condo area was never crowded. We felt like we had the place to ourselves. We did not get to make it to the beach club, but the pool area was perfect (especially for little ones) As far as the main beach here(playa del coco), we didn't care for it much. We drove ten minutes to Playa Hermosa (The Hilton Resort beach) you will not find a better rate and place than Keith's condo. Bring your running shoes, or rent bikes and golf carts from across the road. Don't forget to go downtown about 5pm to see the howler monkeys up in the trees. There's my input...now book it!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

I'm just back from a great stay in this condo at the Pacifico complex in Playa del Coco. Starting with the condo complex, the grounds are very nice and well kept. The pools were clean and uncrowded. This condo overlooks the lifestyle pool. It is a third floor unit, so not the best choice for those will difficulty with climbing stairs. The condo is immaculate and well equipped with everything you need. I was impressed with the Master suite with large four poster bed and large stand up shower and dual vanities. A large walk-in closet is also included in the Master suite. Pacifico also has a beach club accessible to owners and guests. The beach club is located offsite with respect to the condo complex, but not too far of a walk down the beach if you are so inclined, or alternatively you can take the shuttle bus over (or a cab - only $2). The beach club has two large infinity pools and a jacuzzi. They have a large variety of items on their food and drink menus. Overall, the condo is very nice, well equipped and affordable. I was very pleased with my stay. Keith answered all my questions beforehand and made the process very easy. Great vacation!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

My girlfriend and I stayed in the condo at the start of May 2012. The condo is in excellent shape and I would be hard pressed to find any faults with anything in it. If you prefer to eat in rather than out, as was our preference the kitchen is fully loaded. There is a lot to do in the immediate area (Coco, Ocotal, Hermosa) and is close enough for day trips to Rincon, etc. The beach club was very relaxing and great to lay out for some sun (I imagine during the peak season it can get very busy there). Both Keith and Corby were pleasant to deal with, very accommodating and helpful in providing suggestions when needed. I highly recommend working with the owner, the property and Costa Rica in general. NickDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

I went to Playa Coco with some girlfriends to celebrate a couple of the girls birthdays and this condo could not have been any better. It was quite spacious and extremely comfortable for our group of 4 girls, but could even be comfortable for 5 as the sofa is a very good quality bed as well! The furniture and decor are first rate as well. We loved the large patio overlooking the 'family pool' which even though we were there in peak season, there we never more than 3 people in the pool. This complex is very safe, very well maintained and very quiet. A lovely place to come home to after a day of shopping on the busy main street. Everything you could ask for is within walking distance too, a real plus! I would stay there again in a heartbeat!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

Keith and Maggie have a great condo in Pacifico. It is on the third floor overlooking one of the smaller pools. Keith did a great job getting everything set up ahead of time and Corby who manages the property was great. We were there in May which is considered the low season since it is supposed to rain then. We only had about 30 minutes of rain during lunch on one day for the 6 days we were there. Both of us came back with nice tans as the sun was out the rest of the time. We also went to the Beach Club that is on the ocean with the shuttle that Pacifico provides. We walked it one day, but it is a little far and not all sidewalk. Being the low season, Pacifico was not very busy. We would go hang out in the hot tub under the moonlight at night and were the only ones in the pool area (which is large). How cool (and romantic) is that? We also met other condo owners who were very nice. And we loved Keith's condo as it is non-smoking, the only way we travel. We will definitely be back. Thanks Keith (and Maggie)!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, girls getaway, age 55+, sightseeing.

My family of 5 stayed at this beautiful condo over the summer and had the most wonderful time! The first impression of The Pacifico is that it is a safe and beautiful place to stay. The grounds around the condo are prestine and the pools are clean and gorgeous. Inside the condo we were impressed with the beautiful furniture and again, how clean it was. It was spacious with a nice balcony over- looking one of the pools. My husband especially loved the fact that we could walk to a nice grocery store or head off to the main street of Playa Del Coco that has many restaurants. My kids and myself especially enjoyed the beachclub. It is as gorgeous as the picture's portray. The kids loved the pools and that we could take a walk along the shoreline. The view was breathtaking and the food and the restaurant was excellent. We were told that the chef came from the Four Seasons and we had some of the best meals of our trip there. Laying in the cabana we could order lunch and just hang out in the sun. I highly recommend this condo and all the wonderful ammenities that go along with it. Keith made everything so easy for us and was so great at following up on everything. It was really a piece of paradise and I'm so happy we chose this place to stay at and you will too.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, girls getaway, age 55+.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2007
About the owner: We grew up in Chicago. Keith graduated from the University of Illinois in Engineering and Maggie from DePaul Univeristy Business and Northern Illinois University in Art/Design. We live in Chicago and love Costa Rica's weather, nature, watersports and the warmth and friendliness of its people. After visiting several times, we decided to have our wedding on the beach in Costa Rica surrounded by family, friends, beautiful flowers and even the monkeys in the trees. With weather that is sunny and 82-88 degrees year round, it is the greatest escape from Chicago winters. We love water sports of swimminig, snorkeling, sailing, and watching birds, ignanas, geckos and monkeys. The local people are very friendly and love to practice their English on visitors.
Why the Owner Chose Playa del Coco:
We chose to buy this condo after touriing more than 26 locations all over the country.We love its location in the beautiful eco Pacifico community, with its gorgeous green space, local flowers, trees, and beautiful swimming pools, and proximity to national parks. There are four pools just outside the condo unit, including a whirlpoos, childrens pool, activity pool, and lazy river poo. While you are in the pools, you will see and hear wild canaries, and hummingbirds as they visit the flowers that surround you. Its location is just 25 minutes from the airport, and there are direct flights from many cities. The condo is five minutes from the beaches and watersports, and there are more than 40 restaurants in the area, many you can walk to, offering all types of cuisine. The condo is less than an hour from from three national wildlife reserves, Santa Rosa, Palo Verde and Rincon de la Viejo where there is abundant north and south american birds, monkeys, iguanas.Pacifico has five pools, including an infinity pool with ocean views, lazy river pools, whirlpool, activity pool. There is a health club and spa. It is secure and quiet. There is a gourmet grocery/wine store and coffee bar within Pacifico.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
Our furniture is locally made and hand carved from many unusual hardwoods of Costa Rica. We have decorated the condo with artwork, pottery and wood carving by local artisans. Each bed and bath are separated by the open kitchen/dining/living space. Condo has a flat screen tv, wireless network, and a computer. Also central air conditioning,in-unit washer dryer, and balcony overlooking the pool.

BTW, I will assume that by "button shirt," you mean a shirt with a button-down collar. Since the alternate explanation - that by "button shirt" you simply meant a shirt with a row of 7 or 8 buttons down the front, as opposed to a t-shirt, polo shirt, sweat shirt, etc. - makes little sense. After all, how many people here would have to ask if it's a fashion disaster to wear a tie with a t-shirt, polo shirt, or sweat shirt? (It is, of course, ridiculous. Or, since someone on SF could probably dig up a photo of some demi-celebrity wearing a tie with a polo shirt, and would claim that it could look good, let's just say that for 99% of people, 99% of the time, it'd be ridiculous.)
This button-down collar issue is relevant, to a degree, in that some people hold that it's less than desirable to wear a tie with a shirt having a button down collar. This is not a universal opinion, and its acceptance can vary to an extent based on a number of factors, such as geographic area, social class, profession, age, type of tie, etc.
I would also note that (1) while some purists certainly prefer that a tie only be worn with a dress shirt, and that a dress shirt not have a breast pocket, by no means does violating this standard rise to the level of fashion disaster, for more than a relatively small minority of people; and (2) a significant percentage of people would hold that wearing a tie mandates that you also wear a suit/sportcoat/blazer or just possibly a sweater. That is, wearing a tie with a shirt (with our without a breast pocket), without a suit, a sportcoat, a blazer, or perhaps a sweater, will often be viewed with disfavor.
Yes, I did mean a button up shirt, button down shirt, or whatever other terms it may be known as. I didn't want to use the term dress shirt, as like you've mentioned, traditional dress shirts do not have pockets. What I meant was also a shirt that does not have a button down collar (I personally am not a fan of that kind of shirts).
However, I do have another question. I am stepping into the Sales department very soon in the near future, and as I live in a tropical country where summer is pretty much all year round, I do not intend to wear a suit to meet every client of mine. Is it really a terrible idea to wear a tie with a dress shirt (pocket or no pocket)? I always thought it was a more formal look and really adds flavor to a boring shirt (I'm not a fan of patterned shirts too). I have seen working adults wearing shirt and a tie around here, though I cannot attest to their fashion sense.post #20628 of 268963/6/13 at 5:50amI'm a student, 20 years old.
With the weather getting warmer, I need a coat that is suitable for spring. I really don't have anything I wish to be seen in for a spring coat, so I need the staple of the staples. I am thinking a cotton jacket, like this: http://www.esprit.nl/men/alle_merken/KLEDING/Jassen_mantels/vintage-jack-katoentwill-023EE2G014_261, but I'm not so sure.
Which kind of coat do you suggest?
Many thanks in advance.

SF member "HandMadeShoes" has just launched his own line (J. Fitzpatrick), shortly to be available at Gieves and Hawkes and Selfridges. More details at his blog www.theshoesnobblog.com Take a look - he has a very nice looking grey wing tip saddle.

I dont know personally what he meant (it could be the type of collar pin one has to wear with the shirt, maybe meaning a barbell like pin that requires holes in the collar, but I am not sure) but my advice is to just PM the man and ask.

Very nice indeed, and grey flannels is definitely the way to go. Add brown brogues for a nice semi-formal look; black cap toes might imply Scottish golf hotel receptionist.
Quote:I think a "needle collar" simply means it has those two little holes in already, to accommodate the pin you describe that holds the two sides together. I'm sure there are other names.

We will then spend it for you happily.

Or perhaps so as to narrow the question down a little, you could at least spend some time reading old posts, in order to gain an idea as to where you should start and with which brands. Then you could tell us what you're inclined to do, and why, and people could then comment on your choices.
I mean, come on, it's your question; do at least some of the heavy lifting yourself.post #20639 of 268963/6/13 at 1:14pmQuote:Quote:Originally Posted by mrjesterThere it is. Just thought I'd show you the goods.
Jester-That is a beautiful play on a Black Watch tartan. When you first mentioned that you had a blazer in Black Watch I was not convinced that it would look anything but tacky.
Original Black Watch is not as washed-out/faded as this blazer and would be too bold (for me) to wear except maybe on a pair of "trews".
This is a great looking antique tartan. I think you could pull it off with med. grey wool pants or even that purple/blue found in the coat. I think solid black pants would be too stark for this.
When I say washed-out/faded I don't mean to insult the pattern..in fact I love it! - If you don't mind sharing- where did you pick it up?

Hi VAMC, welcome to the forum.I suggest that you spend the first couple of weeks just reading threads. Take a notebook and write down the name brands, tailors, shoe makers, etc that you read about and then do some research on them. Once you narrow in on what you think you prefer then start asking questions.
In the meantime just browse the forum's many threads and do your research. And try not to post on a thread that has been dormant for more than 6-8 months - unless you have some earth shattering news to share it just mucks up the forum.

Sarabeth's Bakery
75 Ninth Ave. (in the Chelsea Market)
New York, NY 10011
(212) 989-2424
Open Mon-Fri, 8 am - 7 pm; Sat, 9 am - 7 pm; Sun, 10 am - 6 pm
Accepts cash and credit cards
Date of Visit: Saturday, January 31, 2010 at 9:00 a.m.
IMPRESSIONS: A few trusted sources recommended Sarabeth's as a must-stop for the New York City breakfast/brunch tour. Sarabeth's seems to have a loyal following at all of its locations, including ones West, East, and at Central Park South. Recently they established a relationship with Lord and Taylor, so now Sarabeth's locations are popping up in L&T stores around New York City. I selected this location - listed as Sarabeth's Bakery - without knowing it was in the Chelsea Market. This turned out to be fortuitous: not necessarily good news for our visit to Sarabeth's, but the market was a very pleasant discovery.
Sarabeth's Bakery is located roughly in the middle of Chelsea Market, so to get to it you pass through a veritable hall of temptation: bakeries, wine shops, boutiques, chocolatiers, butchers, you name it. Very dangerous if you arrive hungry.
This location is specifically called Sarabeth's Bakery. Next to the tiny restaurant portion is a large space where, I'm assuming, all the baked goodies for Sarabeth's restaurants are made. Big plate glass windows let you view the action; there's even a couple tables right by the windows.
ATMOSPHERE: Once you find the bakery itself, you're in a relatively quiet little enclave, with low ceilings, shelves loaded with goodies, and pretty cramped seating. There are a couple cafe tables "out front," plus a few inside, and one big long table that we shared with another couple (who were getting a little too close with each other).
The shop itself was relatively quiet. In fact, the whole market was, considering it was a Saturday morning. Much of the shop consists of shelves featuring the various Sarabeth's goods.
FOOD: In addition to all the baked goodies, jams, and other assortments, you can order a made-to-order breakfast here, although in some ways this menu seems like an afterthought to the location.
I ordered the Pumpkin Waffles. The name alone drew me in. These were four very good waffle slices, with a dollop of soft cream cheese, pistachios, raisins, a raspberry-strawberry sauce, maple syrup (real!), and a side of their homemade jam. Overall, very sweet and delicious, but served on a flimsy plastic plate that went completely against the complexity of the dish.
My wife went for the Oatmeal Pancakes. These were dressed up just as much as the waffles: bananas, powdered sugar, and the raspberry-strawberry spread. Again, very delicious and fun dish, but partly overshadowed by the crappy silverware and plates.
An English Muffin. Very good - the biggest and fluffiest I've ever seen. Although it was served with rock-hard cold butter - way too difficult to spread. That's a pet peeve of mine: serving butter in a nearly unspreadable state.
SERVICE: Service here could use some serious improvement. I don't like it when you order something directly off the menu, and the people behind the counter act like it's an imposition, like the menu was just a nice suggestion. When my wife ordered the pancakes, she tried ordering a side of fried eggs (you need to try the eggs to judge a breakfast place!), and the server kept telling her that ordering the eggs and the English muffin was the same as ordering one of their sandwiches, which my wife didn't want. It took several attempts at explaining it - the servers clearly weren't listening - before my wife gave up and told them to forget it. The actual service of the food involved them calling out the dish - not your name, even though they took it - from the counter and handing it to you over the register. There's very little counter space dedicated to the point of sale. This makes for awkward transactions, when they're trying to hand you food in the same space that other customers are ordering and paying. Not the best use of their space.
OVERALL: Given the creativity of the dishes, Sarabeth's clearly has a lot going for it, and judging by their expanding locations, they have a big following. The food is tasty and fun - these were some great waffles and pancakes - but the gruff service and plastic tableware left a lot to be desired. Perhaps it's worth checking out another location!

The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled sex workers must be protected. Canada needs to decriminalize commercial sex and use our existing human rights, labour laws, and municipal regulations to protect the health and safety of sex workers.
As we mark another International Women's Day today, it is tempting to celebrate the fact women in the developing world are viewed as catalysts for change in their communities. Women and girls are now considered to be central actors within government and civil society in improving lives in impoverished countries.
A B.C.-based civil rights group is renewing its call for independent oversight of the agency that polices Canada's borders.
GENEVA - Evidence shows chemical weapons used in two attacks came from the Syrian government's stockpiles, a panel of U.N. investigators said Wednesday in a new report that needled world powers as deserving some of the blame for the country's atrocities because of their inaction.
The Aga Khan addressed Canada's Parliament Thursday and offered his congratulations for winning hockey gold in Sochi. The spiritual leader of Shia Ismaili Muslims also commended Canada for its worldwide support of human rights
The Aga Khan addressed Canada's Parliament Thursday and offered his congratulations for winning hockey gold in Sochi. The spiritual leader of Shia Ismaili Muslims also commended Canada for its worldwide support of human rights
HONG KONG - The former editor of a Hong Kong newspaper whose abrupt dismissal in January sparked protests over press freedom is in critical condition after being hacked Wednesday by an assailant with a meat cleaver, police said.
Re: Too old to stay, too young to thrive, Feb. 21, and Left to pick up his own pieces, Feb. 22 My children were raised in a good, loving home with a lot of stability and consistency and support. When I look at my children's journeys from the age of 19 to 25, I can't imagine what might have happened if they'd been suddenly and totally cut off from parental support at age 19.
A U.S. military drone strike in Yemen in December may have killed up to a dozen civilians on their way to a wedding and injured others, including the bride, a human rights group says. U.S. officials say only members of al-Qaida were killed, but they have refused to make public the details of two U.S. investigations into the incident.
Olivia Chow, Member of Parliament and widow of former NDP leader Jack Layton, has written a memoir, My Journey. Her story begins in Hong Kong as a young girl, continues through her move to Canada at the age of 13, through her discovery of politics, her marriage to Layton, his death, and her dreams for their grandchildren. Chow was in Vancouver recently for an appearance at the Vancouver Writers Fest and we sat down to discuss her book. (This interview has been condensed and edited.)
GENEVA - A U.N. panel warned North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Monday that he may be held accountable for orchestrating widespread crimes against civilians in the secretive Asian nation, ranging from systematic executions to torture, rape and mass starvation.
The B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office is pursuing civil cases even when there is not enough evidence to uphold criminal charges, say critics who describe the recent development as 'consolation prize' prosecution. The B.C. Civil Liberties Association has been granted intervener status in a case pitting the office against a man not convicted of any crime, which will be heard Monday before the B.C. Court of Appeal.
From his bungalow on the side of a hill in western Jamaica, Willie Thompson surveys the same lush valley that one of his great-great-grandmothers was forced to harvest for sugar cane more than 180 years ago.
BERLIN — Ukrainian opposition activist Dmytro Bulatov said Saturday he believes a pro-Russia group was behind his kidnapping and torture last month.
ABUJA, Nigeria - A mob armed with wooden clubs and iron bars, screaming that they were going to "cleanse" their neighbourhood of gay people, dragged 14 young men from their beds and assaulted them, human rights activists said Saturday.
British comedian Avery Edison (@aedison) was detained by Immigration officials at Pearson Airport last night. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have any idea what to do with trans people.
OTTAWA — The United Nations' top advocate for aboriginal rights, who is to issue a report later this year critical of Canada's record on First Nations issues, has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. If American lawyer James Anaya wins the world's most prestigious political — and politicized — award the development could represent a major advance in the human rights battle for aboriginals in Canada, according to a B.C. aboriginal leader.
Re: Victoria to appeal $1b court loss to teachers, Feb. 5 I am gobsmacked by the response of B.C.'s minister of education to the Supreme Court ruling on the Teachers' Union's right to collectively bargain for limits on class size. Lower class sizes and support for students with special needs are key to quality of education, and ultimately to supporting long-term economic growth in this province. Choosing to invest in further legal action to appeal the Supreme Court's ruling when that money could be invested in education is a tremendous waste of resources.
Civil liberties activists in B.C. have filed complaints against Canada's spy agency and the RCMP for allegedly snooping on opponents of the Northern Gateway pipeline.
SAO PAULO - The number of people killed by police in Brazil's biggest state has plunged 40 per cent, and experts are crediting what seems an unlikely reason — a new rule that forbids officers from transporting or otherwise helping shooting victims. They say it makes the summary execution of suspects more difficult as the government moves to end long-standing impunity in such slayings.

As previously reported, WWE's VP of Creative Eric Pankowski was let go last week which has led to Vince McMahon being more hands-on this week on RAW. The final straw that led to Pankowski's firing was his decision to book a Fatal 4 Way match last week on RAW between CM Punk, Randy Orton, Sheamus and The Big Show with the winner getting to be The Undertaker's WrestleMania 29 opponent.
Pankowski was reportedly told that it was a bad idea, but he went through with it anyway. McMahon signed off on it, but it is believed he did so in order to let Pankowski's work speak for itself.

My aunt always makes homemade fudge and carmels. I actually get to see her this year, and I'm really hoping she'll bring some of those. Her sugar cookies are great too. Homemade frosting on top of Pilsbury cookies! My coworker recently topped my all time favorite list - molasses cookies. They are wonderful! I also enjoy a good cheeseball - blue cheese, cream cheese and shredded cheddar.

Kumla: 1 lb. spareribs or beef short ribs Salt (I recommend Baleine salt for a more genuine flavor) Celery and onion Potatoes grated (I recommend red for flavor) Oatmeal Baking soda In dutch oven pot, boil 1 pound of spare ribs or beef short ribs (cut in pieces) in a large pot of salted water about 2 hours. Remove bones and leave meat in water. Add 1 sliced onion and 1 stalks celery leaves. Wet hands to make dumplings out of the following: 2 1/2 cups grated potatoes (the flavor of red is best), 1-2 tsp. salt, 1 1/2-2 c. quick oatmeal, 3/4 - 1 cup flour, 1/2 tsp. baking soda. Dumplings should resemble meat loaf texture about the size of a small baseball. Drop into boiling broth. Cover and boil gently 30-45 minutes. Cut one as a test to see if center is done. Serve with meat broth ladled over dumplings.

I always use a slotted spoon to fill my bowl with oysters before I put a little bit of broth then some crackers... I LOVE the oysters. My dad used to be a seafood distributer down in Florida so we always got them nice and fresh...

Alarm Lock Systems has introduced three unique keypads, each of which controls access of a single entry point with up to 150 user codes. Alarm Lock's A-Series family of 12/24VAC/DC keypads are all stainless steel and two are weatherproof models that meet most commercial applications. Each user code can be three to six digits long. Audible feedback verifies each key press and all programming can easily be accomplished from the keypad. This eliminates the need for additional software packages. The non-volatile EEPROM memory retains all programmed entry codes. Outputs #1 and #2 are Form C relay contacts, while output #3 is an open collector transistor. Authorized door open time can be programmed for any duration from 1 to 99 seconds.
The first of three single door access control units is the A-100 self-contained indoor stainless steel keypad. Its faceplate is designed to mount on a standard single-gang electrical box. A-100 allows you to program up to 150 3 to 6 digit user codes for added protection. Keypad programmable, A-100 comes with an optional audible keypad feedback feature that helps you verify when each key has been pressed. The A-100 operates up to three outputs (2 relays & 1 open-collector) and can be used to trigger a door strike, an electromagnetic door lock, or any other relay-activated device.
The A-100IMWP is a self-contained access control mullion, designed for narrow stile applications. Its heavy stainless surface mount enclosure, illuminated numerals and weatherproof -13Ë?F to 131Ë?F (-25Ë? to 55Ë?C) design is ideal for outdoor applications.
The A-100WP keypad is sealed, self-contained and weatherproof -13Ë?F to 131Ë?F (-25Ë? to 55Ë?C) for harsh environments. It provides single door access control for both residential and commercial environments and is designed with metal keypad buttons with Braille markings.

The M59 was a U.S. armored personnel carrier that entered service in spring of 1954 replacing the M75. It had three key advantages over the M75: it was amphibious, had a lower profile, and was considerably cheaper to produce. Approximately 6,300 were built before production ended in 1960. The M84 Mortar Carrier was a derivative of the M59. The M59 was replaced in service by the M113 family of vehicles.
Development work on a replacement for the M75 began in late 1951, with the Food Machinery and Chemical Corporation (FMC) producing a number of prototypes. The best performing of these, the T59 was selected and type classified as the M59 in May 1953. FMC were awarded the production contract.
In order to keep costs down, instead of a single large powerful engine the vehicle used two smaller, less powerful civilian truck engines, mounted one each side of the hull. The unreliability of this power system, along with the reduced armor protection provided compared to the M75, were the major disadvantages of this APC.
The vehicle has a welded steel hull ranging in thickness from 0.375 inches (0.95 cm) on the top to 1 inch (2.49 cm) thick on the belly with the median thickness being 0.625 inches (1.59 cm). Overall it is rather slab sided in appearance with a blunt nose. The vehicle has a single large compartment with the driver sitting at the front left, and the commander sitting to his right. The driver is provided with an M19 infra-red night vision periscope and several M17 periscope for driving in a buttoned up position. The commander has an M13 cupola, with a .50 calibre machine gun, for which 2,205 rounds are carried in the vehicle.
Behind the commander and driver are two benches which run down the sides of the vehicle for the ten passengers. The benches can be folded up to make room for a single jeep. On either side of the passenger compartment are side sponsons which contain the vehicle's drive train.
The drive train consists of twin GMC Model 302 6-cylinder inline petrol engine, each developing 146 hp at 3600 rpm. Both engines were directly connected to a Hydramatic model 301MG transmission (early models used 300MG) with four forward speeds and one reverse. Steering is through controlled differential via steering levers at the drivers station. The track is driven by a drive sprocket at the front. There are five road wheels per side, along with three return rollers. The vehicle uses torsion bar suspension and has shock absorbers on the first and last road wheel. On the road the vehicle has a top speed of about 32 miles per hour, considerably less than that of its M75 predecessor.
135 gallons (511 liters) of petrol could be carried giving it a road range of approximately 120 miles (150 km).
The vehicle was designed to be amphibious, with rubber seals on all hatches and doors. A trim vane is provided. In the water it has a maximum speed of 4.3 miles per hour (6.9 km/h).
The passengers are provided with a ramp at the rear of the vehicle, which has an escape door set into it. Hatches on the top of the vehicle are also provided.
M84 Mortar Carrier[edit]
The M84 was a modified M59 that carried a 4.2" mortar pointing backwards. Roof plates on the M84 could be opened to allow the mortar to be fired from inside the vehicle. The M84 only carried a crew of six but weighed 47,100 lbs (21,400 kg) because of the mortar and the combat load of 88 rounds. The M84 entered production in January 1957. It was replaced by the M106 Mortar Carrier.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Hailed as "luminous" by The New York Times Book Review, NICOLE MONES'S bestselling debut novel, Lost in Translation, dazzled critics with a sensuous tale of adventure and awakening set in modern China.
A Cup of Light returns to that rich, exotic landscape in an enthralling saga of precious works of art–and the human lives illuminated by them. Written with exquisite grace, A Cup of Light is an intoxicating blend of romance and intrigue, complete with a heroine whose voice is irresistible to the last page.
As an appraiser of fine Chinese porcelain, Lia Frank holds fragile beauty in her hands, examines priceless treasure with a magnifying lens. But when Lia looks in the mirror, she sees the flaws in herself, a woman wary of love, cut off from the world around her. Still, when she is sent to Beijing to authenticate a collection of rare pieces, Lia will find herself changing in surprising ways...coming alive in the shadow of an astounding mystery...drawn into an unfolding saga of artists and thieves, intrigue and longing.
Lia was told the collection was impressive–twenty spectacular pots. Instead, in a vast room in a gated home in Beijing, Lia finds herself surrounded by the impossible: forty crates and eight hundred works of astounding beauty, with pieces reaching back centuries and perhaps even into the royal residence of the Forbidden City. Now Lia must evaluate each fragile pot, pairing each brushstroke and each nearly invisible imperfection with the database in her mind. Her job is to answer questions that will reverberate through dozens of lives: Where did these works of art come from? Are they truly authentic? Or are they impossibly beautiful forgeries–part of the perilous underworld of Chinese art?
As Lia examines her treasure, a breathtaking mystery unravels around her. A smuggler will risk his life for a chance to spirit these imperial antiquities out of China. A dealer in Hong Kong awaits, while a buyer in America is driven by a longing no possession will ever fulfill. And with political intrigue intruding on her world of provenance and beauty, Lia is drawn into another, more personal drama–a love affair that could alter the course of her life....
"[A] beguiling if overbusy tale of an American who finds love amid the complexities and intrigues of the foreign art world....Intelligent and consistently interesting, with an engagingly original cast, subject, and themes...."

Been busy playing this game all day long..... It runs just fine it appears on my rig. Not sure what the command is to show the fps but i have all the details set to high except for the shadows and they are set to medium with all types of them turned on. Heck even enabled the EAX in the game. It's just is totally awesome and the eye candy is something to really behold. oh and this is set at 1024 since my lousy 17in monitor doesn't have a 75 refresh rate at 1280.

The problem is not that Unreal2 is better in the graphics department than UT2k3.. its ALOT more cpu dependent.
I tried to have all the graphics and everything possible on low or off and I got around 35 fps then I tried 1280x1024x32 and everything on high except shadows that was on low, 8x AF, 2x FSAA and I got around 30 fps... I think its bad programming or something beacuse Unreal2 and UT2k3 uses the same engine. My system: Amd XP2000+ 512 mb DDR GF 4200 64mb Last edited by Badboy_12345; 02-03-03 at 04:41 PM. |

AthlonXP 1600+ GF4 4200Ti 256MB played on 1024x768 everything high except shadows runs usually at 40-50 fps, 30 fps minimum.... until enemys pop up and drop it. depends on the amount of them. but there aren't many situations where you can't play. The graphics are extremely dtailed, though does not have the impact like the first Unreal had. BTW wierd plot |

I got my copy today and I must say the game overall is a disappointment. On the other hand...the graphics are simply stunning. My radeon 9700pro throws the game around at 10*7 with 4XAA and 8X aniso. My card does start to feel it on like 2 or 3 maps at these settings though.

Unreal II Impressions
Wow, this game is a beast, but it's gorgeous.
Ok, let's get the boring stuff out of the way, then I can get into what I really like (and really don't like) about the game so far. I'm currently playing on the following rig (all speeds stock): AMD Athlon 2600+ Asus A7N8X Deluxe (Nforce 2) 1GB Kingston PC2700 Visiontek Geforce 4 ti4600 Windows XP Pro SP1 DirectX 9 While I'm certainly not running a super-rig, it's pretty muscular by today's standards. I only wish I'd held on to my Radeon 9700 Pro long enough to try it on that card as well. One thing that sometimes bugs me about professional game reviews is that they seem so jaded. I've read two "professional" reviews of the game so far (Gamespot and Gamespy) which give it less-than-stellar ratings, but rather than break the game down into features and how "ground-breaking" it is, I'll just offer this: I personally don't *need* "ground-breaking." I want fun, immersion, and an occasional sense of awe, which Unreal II so far supplies in spades. For starters, I can't run this game at 1200 x 1600 smoothly. Even without antialiasing and anistropic filtering, the demands on my video subsystem are just too great, particularly in the lush outdoor environments. While this may sound depressing, the game looks beautiful at 1280 x 960 with Quincunx enabled, and runs smooth as mother's milk with all the in-game features turned up. Ok, I'll come out and admit it...Return to Castle Wolfenstein scared me at various points, particularly in the crypts when fighting the undead. I'd venture to guess the most of you remember that crypt level very well, and found yourself listening for any noise that might give away an approaching zombie. Unreal II at many points captures that feeling. The scripted sequences are nifty, but overall I find myself just enjoying the mindless combat. The Skaarj are back, and you don't have to wait very long before you've seen far more of them than you would like. Now, I'm certainly no deathmatch champion, but if you are expecting the Skaarj to go down after a few lucky shots like in Unreal I, you're in for a surprise. These guys just aren't easy to kill with early-game weaponry. Oh, a minor spoiler here - If you are long enough in the tooth to remember that first encounter with a Skaarj in Unreal I, then you'll find your first meeting with one in Unreal II to be almost nostalgic... Combat is in-your-face and crazy at times. The death animations of enemy creatures seems pretty straightforward at first, and then the game surprises you with a death shot that rivals Hollywood's best (which arguably isn't saying much). Of particular enjoyment is the fact that "gibbing" is back with a vengeance. "Gibbing" critters, or blowing them into their component chunks is one of my guilty pleasures. As games recently have struggled to achieve their family-friendly "Teen" ratings, I will admit that I was pleasantly surprised to see the return of blood and guts to a shooter. I could rave about the graphics for hours, but I won't. Most of you have probably seen the screenshots, and have a pretty good idea of what the static images look like. What I *will* do is elaborate a little bit on the graphics engine. First of all, very much like in the first game, enemy creatures shoot at you, and very quickly at that. The end result is that you are often staring into an approaching wall of various types of plasma and energy beams which the enemy critters do their best to hide behind. Even though the crosshairs change when you have an enemy targeted, it can be very difficult to pick your target out among the incoming firepower, much less return a meaningful counterattack. My first real "Wow!" moment came when I walked into an area that was interspersed with scum-covered pools of water. As I approached, the reflections on the face of the water mirrored the sky in a way that was eerily lifelike, while the algae-covered areas returned no reflections at all. This little attention to detail had my jaw in my lap, and after I killed the local Skaarj, I just ran around the area taking in the view and watching how the light played on various surfaces. Huge kudos to Epic. The large polygon counts also allow for details simply unheard of in desktop gaming until now. Bundles of wires now consist of individual cables, each with their own polygons and individual texture, instead of a single rough shape with a multi-cable texture slapped onto it. NPC characters look good, but don't really pioneer a lot of new ground here. It seems like Epic figured you'd be spending a lot more time with enemies and monsters than up close with friendly humans, and wisely chose to put their effort into enemy models. With one exception so far: I *like* Aida. Aida is your first officer, and she is exceptionally well done. While I would like to throw Epic a bone and say that marketing never entered their minds while Aida was on the drawing board, the sheer geometric perfection of her mammary units and the amount of flesh thereon exposed by her skimpy top would make giving the developer the benefit of the doubt ludicrous. Needless to say, Aida's ability to make my girlfriend "hmph!" and stalk out of the room in a huff when she walks on screen certainly adds to her appeal. The player comes equipped with a HUD this time around, and it's functional, though not revolutionary. The crosshair changes for each weapon, so its pretty easy to see what you've got in your hands without having to change your focus to another part of the screen. Anyway, to summarize I will just say that I'm having a lot of fun so far. Is it fair to say Unreal II is really just Unreal I with better graphics? Somewhat. But look back on Unreal and remember the first time you saw that amazing waterfall after leaving the doomed prison ship, or remember how interesting and unique each new environment was. Sometimes...Just sometimes, when I'm all Age of Mythology'd out, and following quests in Morrowind requires just a little more mental wattage than I feel like generating, a pure eye-candy shooter is just what the doctor ordered. This fits the bill nicely. |

Oh, almost forgot...
There ARE things I don't like:
It runs a little less than stable on my system. If I enabled EAX, I would get various general protection faults, though I imagine those with Audigy cards will not. Unreal II didn't seem to like my Soundstorm very much though... Also, load times. Even if you die on a level you've quicksaved on, it takes a goodly long time to reload...Like 10 to 20 seconds. That's just not cool, especially for folks like me who die a lot. There were a very few texture artifacts but by and large I think they're issues with the map design and not the video card. I'll take a look see on my friend's Radeon and see if it happens there too. One last thing - While it doesn't affect me per se, I really feel for those who buy this game with the minimum system requirements. My suggestion would be that you're pushing it even with the "recommended" system. This is definitely harder on my box than Morrowind ever thought of being. Anyway, that's about it. Cheers! |

jsinger brings up a critical point it's basically impossible to compete with overseas production capability.
Currently, I manufacturer my own product, volume is way low, when the volume is there I am going to have my products produced over seas. If I want to make money beyond a hobby level I have no choice. China can produce the same product, after paying labor, for CHEAPER than I pay for JUST materials! WTF.
The only reason why I continued with my business endeavor is because despite my niche being over saturated my product is currently unique and I have a few years (so I think) to make some income to invest in growth and expansion taking advantage of the Global Economy.
I don't see the world as harshly as jsinger but really not much lesser in degree. There are people on Etsy making their own clothing line and making a living. They have several employees and a repeat customer base. The only reason they survive is because their items fetch boutique prices being that they are 'handmade' and 'handmade' is trendy right now to a small group of people.

Haier Develops Air Conditioner AppWednesday June 12th, 2013 - 11:26AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Haier America has introduced the AC SmartSelector as an app and feature on its website. The program allows consumers to customize their search for an air conditioner to help them find the most effective and energy-efficient appliance, according to the company. "Buying an air conditioner is no longer just about BTUs," said Tom Kelly, vice president of Haier's Air Conditioning Group. "And the most common mistake people make when buying an air conditioner is believing that a bigger air conditioning unit means a cooler room, which isn't always the case and results in wasted energy and money." The AC SmartSelector allows consumers to find an air conditioner by focusing on room size, installation, window size, a heat and/or cool option and outlet capability. The majority of Haier room air conditioning units are Energy Star qualified and the company also offers a line of portable air conditioners. "By introducing the AC SmartSelector, we are taking another step in our commitment to conserving energy," said Kelly. "The AC SmartSelector is a simple path to cool air, a reduced carbon footprint and a cost savings." Tags: • Housewares • Home Environment • |

Was Maxine Waters Right?
Obama says he's not doing New Deal - what's his alternative?
Obama says he's not doing New Deal - what's his alternative?
This week, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) assailed Obama for ignoring black unemployment -- which is double the national average – and for overlooking black communities on his recent Midwest bus tour. She heard a raucous round of cheers in response.
That simply would not have happened even a year ago and this is the turnaround that should concern the Obama Administration the most right now.
During the 2008 presidential campaign members of the Congressional Black Caucus faced serious consequences for criticizing then-candidate Sen. Barack Obama. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tx.) was booed back then during an appearance in her home district by voters who felt she had attacked Obama.
Just before his inauguration as president of the United States, Time magazine ran an image of Obama wearing spectacles and a fedora with a cigarette holder dangling from his lips. It was a deliberate recasting of the iconic image of Franklin D. Roosevelt and a not-too-subtle reminder that the new president was taking office amid two wars and a financial decline – a cocktail of problems not seen since the Great Depression era.
Early on he dismissed the idea of launching a second New Deal saying that it wouldn't be reasonable to simply import ideas from the past wholesale. But more than halfway through his term, Obama is in jeopardy of importing the worst parts of Roosevelt's administration and ignoring many of its virtues.
During the harshest stretches of the Great Depression, unemployment topped out at 25% (and hovered around 50% for African Americans), which led to New Deal policies that aggressively shored up the financial system, created new regulations to ensure confidence in the system and directly created jobs through the Works Progress Administration.
In his first term, Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act as well as the Wagner Act, also known as the National Labor Relations Act, which greatly strengthened the ability of labor unions to engage in collective bargaining.
But this wasn't a straight shot to prosperity. His reform efforts faced legal challenges and the Supreme Court invalidated chunks of the New Deal program. Nor was the impact of his agenda uniform. Social Security scarcely touched the African-American labor force, which was overwhelmingly concentrated in agricultural and domestic work – areas that did not pay into the system.
The Wagner Act's impact was blunted by the widespread discrimination that kept many African Americans out of labor unions. Roosevelt refused to back legislation that would have instituted federal penalties for lynching, and remained firmly committed to the idea that fixing the broader national problems was the best way to address black America's specific concerns.
In 1935, African-American scholars held a conference at Howard University to assess the impact of the New Deal on black America and concluded that it had been minuscule at best.
Obama is not unfamiliar with black academics publicly arguing that his policies have had a negligible impact on the black community. He's also seen key elements of the healthcare reform bill, his biggest reform effort, under attack in the courts. Unlike Roosevelt, Obama faces not only a Republican majority in the House of Representatives, but one fueled by a bizarre allegiance to the very opposite of a New Deal -- cutting government spending at the very point when it can most impact the economy.
Where Roosevelt literally used the government to create jobs, Obama was forced during the last round of budget negotiations to simply hold onto unemployment benefits. But the echoes of history still threaten to drown out not only Obama's reelection chances, but the very rationale for electing him in the first place.
Roosevelt eventually recognized that a rising tide does not lift all boats. During his second term, Harold Ickes – ironically, the father of Hillary Clinton's advisor by the same name – moved aggressively to ensure that WPA programs employed African Americans in representative numbers. His appointment of a "black cabinet" gave at least the appearance that he recognized the particular concerns of African Americans. It is or should be clear to the Administration that Obama's centrist politics work best during times of economic prosperity – like the Clinton era – and the current times call for something with a higher octane.
Obama's apparent allergy to black-specific policies may have the unforgivable political effect of making Tavis Smiley appear to be almost rational. The polls show that his support among African Americans remains strong, but the question remains just how much enthusiasm for him remains within black America.
There's a hope that during a second term, Obama might follow the route Roosevelt took. But it's also possible that by taking black voters for granted Obama won't get the chance.
