Our cabin was a shock. For a new ship to have such a poor layout we were amazed. We also didnt like hearing every footstep on the staircase beside our cabin, and sometimes overhead.
Food was very good; we ate only once in the one where I had to wear slacks, and the rest of dinners in "Taste" with the same menu. Dining rooms were very plain compared to other ships we've sailed on.
We really enjoyed the crazy Blue Man Group, and went twice without reservations. We were not crazy about Legends, as we have no association with Steve Tyler or Lady Ga Ga, and I didnt think Elvis was very good but my wife did.
There was even more of an effort than usual to force you to walk thru the casino. To get from our cabin on 13 to Taste, we had to go to 6,and take an escalator in the middle of the casino to 5. I may have the floors mixed up but it was crazy.
The last straw for us with NCL was seeing on our final statement that we had nonrefundable shipboard credits of $150, that could not be used toward gratuities. When we booked a "Next Cruise" on our previous NCL cruise, the Next Cruise promo said use the shipboard credit for anything on board, just as we had before. When I talked to the front desk they offered to remove the gratuities and cheat their help out of them, but would not make an exception to this new policy that changed the week before we sailed. There will be no "Next Cruise" for us on NCL. Cruzcruzcruz

I think in my country when they say black coffee they mean just black whether with sugar. Another thing I don't think we've a white coffee or let's say we don't have this phrase or we dont use it this way but for sure we have coffe with milk and you have to refer to it as black coffee with or without milk, the reason behind this is-as far as I believe- because you know we have the Arabian coffee so if you said "white coffee" it will be a little bit confusing. hope I made a good point.

aggregate type
<programming> A data type composed of multiple elements. An aggregate can be homogeneous (all elements have the same type) e.g. an array, a list in a functional language, a string of characters, a file; or it can be heterogeneous (elements can have different types) e.g. a structure. In most languages aggregates can contain elements which are themselves aggregates. e.g. a list of lists.

Over 100 wild horses from the Theodore Roosevelt National Park will be sold at a public auction tomorrow in Wishek.
One man voices his concerns about the safety of the livestock facility in this one horse town.
Frank Kuntz is passionate about his Nokota horses...
"They're a very unique breed of horses. I mean they can be traced back to the descendents of Sitting Bull's war and buffalo horses and the turn of the century ranch horses, Northern plains Native people's horse," says Frank Kuntz, Nokota Horse Owner, Linton.
To say he has horse sense would be an understatement.
Kuntz is concerned about the safety of the Wishek sales barn.
The facility is made up of steel guard rails which he says are unsafe for these wild horses to be kept in.
"There's sharp corners, sharp edges everywhere. And these horses aren't used to being penned. They're not used to being handled this way. They've kind of mismanaged them, I mean A. I find it hard to believe they would have picked that facility to start with. They didn't seem concerned about fixing it until a few days ago," says Kuntz.
(Nat: "This is not dangerous to any animal.")
Clyde Meidinger, coordinator of the horse sale, at Wishek Livestock, says they've sanded the alleyways and put rubber guard rails up along all of the corners to protect the horses.
He says the safety of the horses is their number one priority.
"We're going to sell these horses in pairs. I feel a worried horse's best friend is another horse. So we're going to bring the horses in the ring two at a time with a saddle horse, two saddle horses with them at all times so there will be four horses in the ring. And that's just to keep the horses from the park comfortable and more relaxed," says Clyde R. Meidinger, Coordinator of Horse Sales, Wishek Livestock.
One thing these two men do agree on is that safety is never horseplay, especially when dealing with wild horses.
The auction begins Saturday at 11am.

Dr. Jeanne Slattery, professor of psychology at Clarion University, and Dr. Crystal Park ('85), recently published their chapter, "Resilience Interventions with a Focus on Meaning and Values," in "The Resilience Handbook: Approaches to Stress and Trauma," which was edited by Mary Kent and her colleagues and published by Routledge.
Slattery and Park have written widely about the roles of meaning and spirituality in mental and physical health and their implications for psychotherapy. In this chapter they examined the research on interventions that use meaning and values to prevent problems after a traumatic event, and considered why they might be effective.
In 2011, Brooks/Cole published Slattery and Park's book, "Empathic Counseling: Meaning, Context, Ethics, and Skill."
Park, who teaches at the University of Connecticut, received her undergraduate degree in psychology from Clarion University in 1985 and her doctorate from University of Delaware in 1993. She received Clarion University's Distinguished Achievement Award in 1999.
Slattery received her bachelor's degree from Illinois State University and her master's and doctorate from Miami University. She has taught at Clarion University since 1984.
Clarion University is the high-achieving, nationally recognized, comprehensive university that delivers a personal and challenging academic experience.

Crystal Facts
What Is a Crystal?
Get the definition for a crystal and learn about some common types of crystals.
Crystal Shapes & Structures
Let's take a look at the two main ways to categorize crystal types. I've described the major crystal structures and how crystals are classified by their properties and provided links so that you can see examples of crystal types and learn more about crystallography.
Crystal Photo Gallery
This is a collection of photographs of crystals. Some are crystals you can grow yourself. Others are representative pictures of crystals of elements and minerals.
How to Grow Crystals
Do you want to grow crystals, but you aren't sure where to start or what to do to make sure your crystals turn out well? Here's some basic information on crystal growing. I've provided links to recipes so you can start growing crystals.
Bravais Crystal Lattices
There are 14 distinct Bravais crystal lattices. The lattices can be used to describe the geometrical symmetry of a crystal. The Bravais lattices are sometimes called space lattices.
Mohs Scale of Hardness
The Mohs Scale of Hardness measures how well a substance resists scratching by another material. You can use this scale to test the hardness of rocks, minerals, and crystals, to help identify them.

Lecture 5 - Proportional-Only Control
Lecture 3 (FOPDT from Differential Equations) and Lecture 4 (FOPDT from Data) finished our discussion of how to obtain a First-Order Plus Dead-Time (FOPDT) model. This FOPDT model will now be used to obtain initial tuning constants for a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller.
For today's lecture, we'll cover the Proportional-only controller (simplest form). Two following lectures will cover the Integral and Derivative portions of PID control.
- Course reading for next class: Chapter 6 (PPC).
- Assignment due by the start of Lecture #6: SP3
Don't forget that the first part of each homework assignment is to write a sentence or two stating the purpose of the problem and what concept is reinforced.

LEE COUNTY: A Bonita Springs man is fighting to get his dog back. He claims his ex-girlfriend ran off with the dog and now the alleged crime appears to have crossed state lines.
Nate Olsen broke up with his ex girlfriend nearly a year and a half ago. When she came to town last week wanting to see his 2 year old miniature pincher, Sweet Lou, he thought nothing of it.
But that's when the nightmare began.
"Obviously she was supposed to bring my dog back and she never did. I called her a few times, I realized something was up. I went to her house and my dog was not there," said Nate Olsen.
Olsen says his ex took Sweet Lou from Southwest Florida all the way to New Jersey. So he filed a police report hoping to get Lou back.
"He means everything to me. I'm originally from Iowa, I moved down here three and half years ago. I don't have any family here, anything like that. I love living down here but that's my family," said Olsen.
Like a lot of pet owners, Olsen put a microchip inside Lou when he got him more than two years ago.
When he called the company this week he found out his ex changed the name on the account to her own.
"Typically we fill out a form with 3 names on it, the owner's name, owner's contact info, and our name," said Veterinarian Dr. Richard Carpenter.
Now the grass where Louie used to play is empty. Olsen says he's willing to go to New Jersey to get him back.
"You know what, all I want is my dog back. That's all I want, all I want is Lou to come back home," said Olsen.
Olsen's ex girlfriend did not return our calls.
The sheriff's office is continuing to investigate.

For one chinese barber they say two heads are better than one...
His claim to fame in his town in Northeast China is being able to shave two heads at the same time ... in 90 seconds.
What's more, he can even do it with his eyes closed.
It wasn't easy at first as he'd often scratch his customers. But the barber says his customers were very encouraging - and brave - by letting him practice on their heads.
Three years of trying to master his skill has apparently paid off as he's won a lot of customers.
Oh and, if that were not skill enough.... let's try shaving the two men while blind-folded!
We have no work on whether he charges half-price if he's shaving two men at the same time. We do know he's applied for a guinness record.

It took a long time and a few returned rugs to find the perfect one to bring my living room together. I not only needed something that had the right colors, but durability was a must. This rug has been walked on, wallowed on (by yellow lab and grey cat, who both shed horribly!), moved and vacuumed many many times over the past 10 months and still looks brand new. The variance in color is great for hiding dirt and hair. Also did not have a problem w/corners turning up. This is not an extremely heavy rug, but also not so light that it moves & shifts easily. I bought the rug pad to go w/it and am very happy with both purchases!
I would have given 4.5 stars if given that choice because the border of the rug I received is not centered, one side is an inch off the other three. This was not worth an exchange because I'm using it in a bedroom so I simply hid that defect under the foot of the bed. It took me a long time to find a square rug I liked and I was anxious to get it in my room and enjoy it. The colors are great, there are 2-3 gold tones in the main body of the rug so the overall gold color is very compatible with various shades of gold paint as well as oak hardwood floors; not to mention hide some of the dirt the dogs may drag in on their mission to get under the bed. The pattern colors are sage, rust and black with a touch of burgundy. My bedding is circa Pottery Barn and the pattern coordinates nicely with all of my sets, purple, sage green and even the red patchwork. If you want to luxe up your purchase, add the rug pad that's rubber on the one side and felt on the other. The rug will feel twice as thick under your feet.
I really like the rug and it was received within 3 days of placing my order. It is taking quite some time to flatten and have placed heavy objects around the edges to assist with that. The picture on the website makes the colors look muted, however they are not. It is a beautiful rug and was glad that I was able to find something to put in my den.
I received this carpet quickly. It looks just like the picture. It is very soft and luxurious. I love it!
it's lovely to look at and the size is perfect, but the odor coming off of it is awful. it smells like petroleum or something like that to me. my throat is raw and after several days with all the windows open in the house, it hasn't gotten any better. i am really bummed because, as i said, the color and size are perfect. i have no idea wihat i'm going to do about this. i did try putting some of that arm and hammer carpet powder on it and vacuuming it, and that worked for about an hour. i did look at the other reviews and i don't remember anyone saying anything about this. it is a serious problem. the other, less serious, thing was that it was rolled up badly for shipping and has big crinks in in that i've had a very hard time smoothing out. since i have a bad knee, this is a bit spooky as it's a tripping hazard. but that's minor compared to the smell. as i sit here and write this i want to run out of my house.
Ordered this rug because I needed square rugs and it looked great in the picture. When it arrived and we unrolled it, it had deep creases that would not come out. Had to return it.
I began this collection with the purchase of an 18' runner for my hallway. The carpet was described well in the previous reviews. The color is a bronze beige with some gold in it. The print was even and the pattern is muted with colors of red, rust, green and black. I liked it so much I bought this 8' rug. I am equally pleased with this purchase. I have a dark haired pet and cannot see his hair. It vacuums well and did not come with a smell. I'm considering the 9'x12' for my dining room. No hesitation with the carpet, just the kids that would be eating on it!
This rug sits under my kitchen table. It makes my 11 by 17 room seem larger as it fits the space better than the 5 by 8 I used to have in there. It is very easy to vacuum, it's very nice to walk on and the colors are very subdued so it doesn't overwhelm the room. I have had it about 6 months and other than it taking about a week to completely flatten out I love it. As a matter of fact I love it so well I bought the 6 foot round one for the sink area in the kitchen.
The rug didn't work for me but I'm giving 5 star because of outstanding customer service I received from Overstock. I highly recommend the site, order with confidence!
This was my first purchase from Overstock and I wasn't disappointed. I was looking for a square area rug for a very specific purpose and was surprised to find just what I had in mind. I also purchased the pad to go with it and the size, quality, and colors will be perfect under my baby grand piano. Overstock.com, I'll be back!

q is for questions
This might be a longish post due to the number of questions so I forgive you for skimming. I do it all the time. There's just not time to read everyone's epic posts. So just read the questions that interest you. That is, if you're still reading at this point. There are stories of crazy people and my addictions, though, so there you go.
What experience has shaped you most and why?
A few days after I got my bachelor's degree I boarded a plane to Europe. I spent about a year traveling and working on a student exchange visa. To this day I still feel that it's the single most important thing I've ever done. It made me more independent and less afraid. I was at the right age to see things with the right eyes and appreciate them and I wasn't jaded or smart enough to be afraid of the world. I know it was the right choice for me.
If you had a whole day with no commitments, what would you do?
Sleep. After that I'd probably read, take my dogs for a walk in the park and then come back and sleep some more. I'd also catch up on all of those little things you want to do but never get prioritized to the top. You know that stuff? I'd do that. And I'd probably take lots of photos. Yeah. Pretty much all of the stuff I do now, only without having to clean up puppy poopy.
What food or drink could you never give up?
Red Bull. Don't know what it is about that stuff, but I just can't put it down. I can limit myself to them, though. I only have one can in a day and sometimes I go weeks without one. I don't have them very much, but I just can't see my life without having the liquidy goodness of Red Bull.
If you could travel anywhere, where would that be and why?
WELL. I'm not really the person to ask this because I want to go everywhere. Literally. I go on and on about traveling to anyone who will listen. I've not been that many places on Earth, so I'm behind on my world tour. I have a tab at the top of my blog where I've put some photos of some of the places I've been. It's by no means comprehensive, but it's got highlights. I think the next big place that the Bear and I plan to go is Egypt because we're both fascinated by the culture and history. However, we need to visit some aging relatives in New Zealand soon so, basically, who knows.
Who do you have a crush on?
The Bear. And MyHeritage.com for telling me I look like Kate Hudson.
If you were leader of your country, what would you do?
DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THIS, PEOPLE. Sorry. I get upset about the way the world is run. I'm going to move on before I taint my blog with my political rantings.
Give me one savory recipe that doesn't include cheese.
Why? Why would you want a recipe without cheese? Me no understandy. That reminds me of a story about someone I know involving cheese. This person says they are "allergic" to melted/cooked cheese. YET, they eat cold cheese all the time. They say that melted cheese will make them die but as long as it's cold it's all okay. Is that the most bizarre thing you've ever heard…or is it just me? Anyway, the problem with me giving recipes is that A) I never measure anything and people get frustrated when you use "a little of this" and "some" as measurements. Especially when baking. B) I get a lot of recipes from other people and websites and once I've printed them I forget where they came from. I don't want to post something without giving credit. Life is full of tough decisions.
What did you think you were going to be when you grew up?
I was in the beauty pageant when I was really young and one of the questions was, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Most of the people said movie star or astronaut or princess. I said microbiologist. My mom said it quieted the crowd nicely. I don't want to be a microbiologist anymore but I don't know what I want to be, yet. I'll let you know if I ever decide to grow up.
If you could spend just one day in someone else's body, who would it be?
Have you ever seen the movie Being John Malkovich? What a strange movie. This question reminds me of that. I would not choose John Malkovich, though. I think maybe I'd choose Queen Elizabeth. She is so interesting to me. And she can fix your car.
Which woman writer, living or dead, do you admire most?
Call me crazy, but I tend to like authors because I like to read what they write and not because they've overcome adversity or have accomplished so much or that they are a woman...blah, blah, blah. Although I suppose it's pretty impressive to get published, so I guess all of them.
What character trait inspires you the most?
I've written about this a lot, especially in this post. Intelligence is at the tippy top of my list, but it must be accompanied by a sense of humor, passion, compassion and happiness. Intelligence on it's own does not an admirable person make.
What is your favorite kind of music?
All kinds. I have so many different kinds of things on my iPod that if you were trying to put together a profile of my personality by looking at my playlists, you'd have no chance.
Now I get to add a question and ask a few other bloggers to answer these, too. Here's my question:
What is one fact about you that most people who know you wouldn't guess?
I'm going to tag a few people, but don't feel you have to play along. These things are not for everyone, so only answer if you think it's fun!
I'm tagging Jen from Hamster Central, April from April, Maybe and everyone else reading this far in the post. Let me know if you do it so I can come and visit!
It's Alphabet Soup today at Jenny Matlock's. Should be fun!

I love reading your epic posts. They give me a reason to procrastinate on doing real life stuff :) In return, I will leave you an epic comment :)
Wow, I'm jealous you spent a year traveling through Europe. I've always wanted to try it but too scared to attempt it because of the language barrier. Maybe I'll wait until E is older and has learned all the European languages. She can be my translator and travel companion :)
You know, I've never tried Red Bull before. I think it might be out of fear that I'd be disgusted or disappointed in it. It's quite popular in Tokyo too. Hmm, maybe I should just try it.
If you were a leader of your own country, I'd apply to be a citizen because it would be an awesome place to live, right?
I agree with you about that person with the cheese "allergy" I mean, come on, it's cheese! Hot or cold, cheese is cheese, right? Unless they're not really eating cheese...like it's soy cheese or something...but then that'll be gross.
So a microbiologist, eh? However did you come up with that answer? If I was a judge, I would have given you the award just for knowing what a microbiologist is...but then again, I'm biased and I like original, unique answers.
Being John Malkovich was such a trippy movie. So you want to spend a day as Queen Elizabeth, huh? Just hope she's not into something weird or kinky in private because that would totally change your impression of her.
Aww, you didn't answer your own question. Maybe next time?
So I see you tagged me :) Well I'm going to have to do this now because it was too fun reading your answers. Stay tuned :)

I love these types of posts because they really help you understand who the blogger really is.
I was tagged in a similar post and they asked the question about the one experience that shaped me. My answer was the same. My trip to Europe, but I was much younger. I was in high school. I spent about a month there and learned all about independence! Being in another country without family was what I needed to know that I can do anything. I do wish I was a little older so I would have appreciated the culture more, but one day, I will go back.
My friend and I have been talking about a trip to Egypt. We both want to go, but I am not sure when it will happen. We will be visiting China first since we have a place to stay and the trip will be much less expensive.
Sleep....sounds good to me!
One fact about me that people who know me wouldn't guess is that I am a neat freak. Most people come to my house and comment how clean things are, but they have no idea how uncomfortable I feel when things are a mess. I am not OCD or anything, well, come to think of it...possibly...lol.

Suns' Miles Plumlee records several highlight-reel dunks vs. Knicks
Originally published: Mar 29, 2014 - 11:25 am
Plumlee finished with 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting. He also added three assists and a team-high 12 rebounds in 23 minutes, as the Suns dominated New York on the glass 56-37.
It was Plumlee's first double-double since Jan. 27 in Philadelphia, and his 11th of the year. He was the first name out of Jeff Hornacek's mouth after the game as the head coach praised his team's effort on the boards.
"We're a decent rebounding team, but when we out-rebound somebody big, we're usually pretty good because we can get out and run on the fast breaks," Hornacek said. "I think overall it was probably the best performance of the year."
The second-year center, despite earning a spot in the Rising Stars Challenge during All-Star Weekend, struggled in February, only earning 21.9 minutes per game and averaging 5.7 points and 7.4 rebounds.
Plumlee's numbers in March haven't been any better, as he has only posted 6.2 points and 6.5 rebounds in 19.2 minutes -- counting Friday's game.
However, the 25-year-old big man looked like he was back in his early-season form Friday, as he had several athletic dunks off missed shots and lobs against New York.
Check out his reverse alley-oop finish from Eric Bledsoe and a left-handed putback off a Gerald Green miss in the videos below. The former was named the dunk of the night on NBA.com. Click here to watch his right-handed throwdown on a second quarter fast break. He also had a powerful two-handed putback off a P.J. Tucker miss in the fourth quarter, getting him into double-figures in points.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

+ Voice quality excellent
+ Phone is fast and responsive.
+ Camera snaps quick and clear pictures/video.
+ Removable Battery, Textured grip on the back
Cons: - MTP file transferring is slow

Summary: I got the LG Spectrum 2 from Verizon yesterday. The cost was Free with a 2 year upgrade. This is like the 4th Android phone that I have had, plus a number of Iphones. I have this phone because the last one which was a Motorola Razr Maxx started having issues.I have had good Android phones, starting from ICS to JB.Edit:
I live in a area that doesn't have reception for any carrier except for Verizon when it comes to Lte, fortunately I have a unlimited Data plan. Lte has been my internet source for over 2 years. Believe me, my Maxx ran 24/7 but died 3 days after warrenty. So why did I not go for a Galaxy or DNA. I found that I do not use the phones for much more then casual browsing, I am not much of a game player, at least on a 4.7 inch screen, I leave that for my Asus Infinity Tablet or Laptop. I guess why I am telling you this is to give a general understanding of where I am coming from and that I do have some experience with Top of the Line Phones.
Ok, let's talk about the Phones build, nice, maybe not as good a build as the Maxx or Iphones, better then a Nexus 1st Gen. My take on build quality is that I would like to have my phone last for 2 years, but that might not happen, so keep it insured. Under normal circumstances I really think this Phone will stand up to any physical abuse that I might throw at it, but then again I am easy on phones.
Screen: I was started when I first turned the phone on, The Screen is amazing, the pure brightness and clarity is truly a marvel, I am not kidding! Sure, not the pixal density of say some of the phones that came out at the same time or today, but I am half blind I fear, and I can say that this display helps me to actually see the screen better. Its not as good as the newest technology, just saying.
Android: This phone had some issues when it first came out, but most reviewers at the time blamed it on I.C.S. and said if this Phone ever got JB it would rock even more then it already did, well guess what, it came out of the box with I.C.S. but updated to JB 4.1.2. Ya, a free phone with JB! Any issues that I read about while on I.C.S. are solved, which was mainly Lag between screens etc. It couldn't have been the Processor or Memory...
Processor/Memory: First lets do a quick review of what I have mentioned so far: Free, excellent Screen, JB 4.1.2, good enough build. This thing has a 1.5 dual core processor and a good enough memory to blaze through what little I have put it through so far.
Now, for me one of the most important things, the radio reception: No joke, it rocks at that also, easily out doing download and upload speeds then on the maxx or just wasting the Samsung Nexus built phone, was lucky I could a 3g on that thing, nice display though. I have 3 solid Bars of 4g, using speed Test, average down load speed 4 to 6 mbps, upload around 3, the Max 3 average download and 1.5 upload. If you are on Verizon and beyond their coverage area but within their extended coverage area, you need this FREE phone if your do for a upgrade and not in the market for the best of the best.
Other items not yet mentioned: Voice quality excellent. I used the Speaker talking to my Son, I had set the cell down. I moved around talking and listening, the speaker was clear and loud, my Son never complained about sound quality and actually never knew that I was using the Speaker. Removable Battery, Textured grip on the back, never felt like it was going to slip out of my hands if I was holding it and awake. NFC, with programmable stickers, Beam, external Memory Slot, 16 gb in internal, who needs the "Cloud" with this phone other then for Backups. 8 mb Camera (taken two pics so far), 1.3 forward Camera. Oh ya, how about being able to be charged using a optional charging pad, (You can get the bundle for around 47 bucks with a 2 year plan).
So, ya, its a great phone so far and think it was a top off the line phone at the time but was under marketed so little noticed by most including me, at the time being focused on the hype of the other Manufactures.
Lastly, I suggest check for it's best price at: Smartphonesrefer.blogspot.com/p/lg-spectrum-ii.html
Hope it helps.

Good bang for the buck!

Pros: Loads of features and fairly intuitive user interface, good touch screen response
Cons: Battery life, Speakerphone volume, could stand a couple of minor updates

Summary: Had the device a week now, the learning curve was not too bad and I am fairly impressed. This is my first Android SmartPhone. Have used a BlackBerry Bold 9930 for the past year, so my review will compare this LG-S2 to the Bold (which I consider to be the benchmark for ease of use). I should note that part of my job is to assess and recommend the most appropriate and cost effective cell devices to our company users.Update- I just learned the hard way - a protective case is a MUST. My device fell out of my pocket, hit the parking lot from a 3 foot drop, I picked it up but too late - a fractured screen corner rendered all the fixed function buttons dead. I can still see the screen, log in, view event notifications and answer calls (with headset only) but that is it. This phone is VERY FRAGILE, and LG apparently skipped the Gorilla Glass which may have offered some protection, so take my advice and buy a rubberized case immediately for this, or any other smart phone with touch screen you have or plan to buy.
Phone use: These gadgets are getting more and more packed with features but let's not lose sight of the basics- voice phone calls. Without a dedicated hard answer key, the big 4.7" touch screen at least has big buttons for making, receiving and ending calls. And pleased to find that using a wired headset's call button lets you answer and end calls hands free, very important on the road. However, with the phone app on the screen, the headset answer button launches music playback instead of the voice dialing application - so you cannot make calls without pulling over and looking at the screen. Perhaps this is handled better using a Bluetooth headset, but what were they thinking? The Speakerphone volume is adequate for an office setting, but in a loud car a headset is the best option.
Ease of use is pretty good, much more flexible than the Bold because you can place and rearrange App icons and widget tool shortcuts on any of the main screens for quick access. You can drag Speed Dial and Text Message shortcuts, customized for one click access to your most frequent contacts!
The thing is a sleek rectangular slab with square corners. I think an optional case/belt clip is a necessity to avoid an accident from dropping it out of, or bending it in your pockets.
Camera/Video Resolution is excellent however the pics and videos seem to need a lot of light and careful adjustment of the white balance; thankfully you can turn the flash LED on while shooting video, something even a lot of HD camcorders don't have. You can also digital zoom while recording. With adequate light, HD videos are stunning on this nice big hi res screen. There is an optional USB to HDMI converter cable available on the web for HDTV hookup.
Battery life is an issue and much worse than the Bold, but probably in line with other big screen 4G phones. Count on recharging at least overnight but if you use it a lot you will need a charge after your work day. The screen shuts off when you place the phone up to your ear to save on battery.
Email integration: For business we use Lotus Notes and with its Traveler App installed, the integration is tight with good sync, pulling in contacts and prompt notifications. The only thing missing is a screen pop, making you open up the notification area before you can see the new mail or calendar alarm. You can get a screen pop of text messages however (on by default).
Preset Notification sounds can be changed at least for new emails and text messages- but if I recall, the Bold was more flexible in this area.
MP3 Playback: OK but I've heard better MP3 sound quality with my headphones. I plan to try a different music player to see if that helps and gives more EQ options. There is shuffle playback for all songs, to play your entire collection randomly.
You can customize your contacts - they initially all get the same "default ringtone" and it took me a while to figure out that editing a contact has to be done at its native storage location (applicable when you have contacts from multiple sources, such as local phone contacts and remote Lotus Notes contacts that were pulled in- in that case it will prompt you for what area you will edit your contact at). After you get the hang of it, you can assign a stored picture and custom ringer to any of your contacts.
There is no schedule to power down the device at night as on the Bold, however you can set a "quiet time" schedule which basically accomplishes the same thing but probably uses more power.
The GPS Mapping Application has spoken directions to get you from point A to B much like a dedicated GPS device, however the voice volume is extremely weak (but plugging in a headset provides ample volume). It has nearby attractions and traffic (which I assume are always updated), and you can layer Google map satellite imaging over your viewing area, something a dedicated GPS won't do. You can drag navigation widgets to one of your main screens for easy access to your favorite GPS destinations. Bottom line - for ease of use I'm keeping my workhorse Garmin.
Unexpected feature: A voice typing button on the keyboard launches a speech to text application that inserts your dictated words surprisingly well. But then again if we're going to be speaking into the phone, maybe we should just call them!
With a few minor shortcomings, this thing offers serious competition to the top rated Galaxy 3, Razr Maxx and the (over hyped) iPhone 5, for about half the cost. LG can easily address its few shortcomings through an update, giving buyers no excuse to pass up this otherwise competent business tool.

Way too slow.
by Tian210 on October 4, 2013
Pros: Really good screen.
Cons: Lagging to the point of being unusable at times.
Battery runs down even while charging when used for navigation.
Summary: It seems as if too much resources went into bloatware, Android modification and and the screen with the result that normal operations and the battery life is severely compromised.

Good phone -- But Not Sure About Durability
by motorooster on March 5, 2013
Pros: When it works I have no major complaints about this phone. The call quality, screen clarity, camera, etc. are all top tier. I also like the feel of the phone in your hand.
Cons: The problem is that it doesn't really seem like it's built for the long-haul. Possibly I got a defective phone, but since the problem is a crack in the screen (never dropped or hit the phone in any way), warranty replacement is out.
Summary: In looking for a replacement glass/touch screen, the part I would need is listed as "out of stock" at multiple parts vendors online. Most likely this is a common ...
Summary: In looking for a replacement glass/touch screen, the part I would need is listed as "out of stock" at multiple parts vendors online. Most likely this is a common problem with this phone.
Bottomline, if you get this phone, be sure to get the insurance.
A fine smartphone from LG and worthy successor.
by 1of7627 on November 7, 2012
Pros: Powerful, great screen, native ICS, decent battery life, has SD card slot, has replaceable battery (the ones from my old Spectrum fit), NFC, fine build qualtiy and THEY FINALLY BROUGHT BACK A NOTIFICATION LIGHT (on the power button).
Cons: Square corners are a bit sharp (if I have to complain about something).
Summary: I really liked the original Spectrum I bought when they were released and the ICS update made it even better. I decided to get the Spectrum 2 because it carried ...
Summary: I really liked the original Spectrum I bought when they were released and the ICS update made it even better. I decided to get the Spectrum 2 because it carried on past the original Spectrum with a few new features and several improvements (LIKE ADDING A NOTIFICATION LIGHT). Yes, there are more powerful and more current phones out now, but this one is totally viable without being a quad core and likely a "best buy" regardless of whether or not Jelly Bean is ever released for it. this is an LG smartphone that compares well with anyone.

Video editing with Jahshaka
One of the first things you notice about the free video-editing software Jahshaka is its unconventional controls. But once you master the learning curve, Jahshaka turns out to be a useful tool with professional features.
The former computer vendor Jah Shaka (not to be confused with the musician of the same name) was looking for a free – but powerful – video-editing program, particularly for third-world countries, where people cannot afford to invest several thousand dollars in real-time video-editing systems. At the time, Jah Shaka was working for a UNESCO project in Jamaica, which had similar goals but finally failed, thus prompting his decision to take up the reins. Shaka considered various high-end video-editing systems as role models before finally developing the free video-editing and effects program with professional features. He gave his own name to the results – Jahshaka.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 19, 2011) – Saturday's Grade II, $150,000 San Luis Obispo Stakes at Santa Anita had been billed strictly as a duel between the West Coast's foremost grass marathoners, Bourbon Bay and Champ Pegasus, and was it ever.
The 1 ½-mile competition simply could not have been any closer or more dramatic. After the two battled in tandem through the final eighth-of-a-mile, Champ Pegasus emerged victorious by the bob of a head.
"They are both very good horses," said winning jockey Joel Rosario. "You saw how the race came out. I only beat him by this much," as Rosario held his thumb and forefinger less than an inch apart. "I thought I got in front of him a couple of times," added Rosario, "but he came back again." The final time was 2:31.55.
Rosario later gained his second stakes win of the afternoon, this time by a head, as he rallied 7-5 choice Smiling Tiger to victory in the 73rd running of the Grade II, $150,000 San Carlos Handicap at seven furlongs. Smiling Tiger, who relinquished his distinction as the West Coast's top sprinter when upset in last month's Grade II Palos Verdes, regained such esteem with Rosario at the controls for the first time.
The 4-year-old colt, trained by Jeff Bonde, bobbled at the start, but overtook Captain Cherokee in the closing strides while covering seven furlongs in 1:20.30. Prior to the race, the track condition had been upgraded from "good" to "wet fast."
With a 6-1-6 record in 13 career races, Smiling Tiger continued to demonstrate his consistency despite the troubled third in the Palos Verdes. Rosario, meantime, achieved his eleventh stakes win of the meet to extend his edge over leading rider Rafael Bejarano to four.
The San Luis Obispo victory by 3-2 second choice Champ Pegasus gave him a very slim 2-1 edge in their competitions and handed 11-10 favorite Bourbon Bay his first setback in six starts over Santa Anita's Camino Real Turf Course. He had won last year's San Luis Obispo by 4 ¼ lengths.
"I don't think he liked the soft turf," Neil Drysdale, who trains Bourbon Bay, said afterward. Bourbon Bay, ridden by Rafael Bejarano, finished 3 ¼ lengths ahead of third-place Haimish Hy. Following overnight rain, the 55th San Luis Obispo was raced over a turf course labeled "good." There were four late defections from the original field of 13.
Unbridle's Dream, who would fade to last, took a long early lead in the marathon. Bourbon Bay pursued in a distant second. Champ Pegasus steadied while racing into the first turn, but straightened away while alternating between fourth and fifth position. He pulled alongside Bourbon Bay in midstretch and their tense battle ensued with neither 5-year-old giving ground.
The outcome meant revenge for Champ Pegasus. He had been victorious in their first meeting last Oct. 3 when taking Oak Tree's Grade I Clement L. Hirsch Stakes at Hollywood Park. Third place Bourbon Bay was beaten by one length after returning from a five-month layoff.
David and Jill Heerensperger's gelding turned the tables in Santa Anita's Grade II San Marcos Stakes at 1 ¼ miles on Jan. 17 while scoring by 1 3/4 lengths. Runner-up Champ Pegasus had been idle for nearly 2 ½ months following a sharp runner-up effort to Dangerous Midge in the Grade I, $3 million Breeders' Cup Turf at Churchill Downs on Nov. 6.
"My horse definitely needed his last race," said Richard Mandella, who trains Champ Pegasus. "I didn't have him as fit as I thought I did, and I had underestimated how good Bourbon Bay was, and he is very good."
With the winning purse of $90,000, Champ Pegasus became a millionaire in his 11th career start for owners and breeders Gerald Ford, of Dallas, who races as Diamond A Racing Corp., and Arturo Vargas of Buenos Aires. His career earnings rose to $1,018,520 from a record of 5-4-1.
Champ Pegasus paid $5, $2.40 and $2.40. In further testimony to their parity, the place and show payoffs on Bourbon Bay were the same as those of the winner. Haimish Hy, ridden by Garrett Gomez, paid $3.60 to show.
Northern California-based Russell Baze had ridden Smiling Tiger in his four previous starts with a pair of thirds and a second following a victory in the Grade I Ancient Title Stakes at Hollywood Park in October. "Russell has done a good job, but it's tough to get down here," Bonde had said when making the rider change. "And it was a last-minute decision to run in this race," he added.
In the San Carlos Handicap winner's circle, Bonde said, "The guy (Rosario) rode a professional race. He did what he had to do. When the situation arose, the horse responded to him. There's not much to say."
Rosario admitted afterward that the victory did not come according to instruction. "He (trainer Bonde) told me to send him," said Rosario, "but he stumbled leaving the gate, so I let him settle and relax. He's a nice horse, a classy horse. He showed today that he can relax and that he can run from off the pace."
Smiling Tiger was shuffled back to last among six starters after leaving the gate. Ventana set the early pace while tracked by Captain Cherokee with Joe Talamo aboard. The latter gained the lead in deep stretch before being run down by Smiling Tiger. Captain Cherokee had to survive a stewards' inquiry after drifting out from the whip nearing the wire. He finished three-quarters of a length ahead of third-place Mythical Power with Bejarano aloft.
Owned by Alan Klein and Phil Lebherz, Smiling Tiger, a Kentucky-bred son of Hold That Tiger, added $90,000 in earnings which brought his 13-race total to $875,864. He paid $4.80, $3.20 and $2.60. Captain Cherokee paid $6 and $3.40. The show payoff on Mythical Power was $3.20.
The Presidents' Day weekend of racing through Monday continues on Sunday with a nine-race program featuring the Grade II San Vicente Stakes for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs. Trainer Bob Baffert's spectacular maiden-race winner The Factor is the 8-5 favorite among nine 3-year-olds entered in the prep for the Grade I, $1 million Santa Anita Derby April 9. First post is at 12:30 p.m.

BATTLE CREEK (WKZO) -- The Battle Creek Police Department has released more information about an armed robbery that took place around 3:30 a.m. Monday.
Officers responded to a hold up alarm at a Speedway gas station on West Columbia Avenue. Two employees were inside when a man entered the store with a handgun, demanding money before fleeing on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. A K-9 track of the suspect went cold behind Lassen Automotive down the road near 20th Street.
The suspect has been identified as 22-year-old Dequan Antonio Brown. He's described as standing five-feet, ten-inches in height and weighing around 170-pounds with personal ties to Battle Creek, Bellevue, and Byron Center. At the time he was seen wearing a red hooded sweat shirt with black print, a gold do-rag, black shorts with white stripes, and gray and white striped athletic shoes, while carrying the money away in a black and yellow single-strap satchel described as a lunch bag.
The weapon in the incident was described as a black semi-automatic handgun with silver visible on top. No one was injured, but police say Brown should be considered to be armed and dangerous.

More Dems Abandon Rangel
by Nathan Empsall, Tue Jul 27, 2010 at 04:16:34 PM EDT
Rep. Betty Sutton (D-OH) made headlines as the first Democrat to call for the ethically challenged Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) to resign. And she seems to have opened the floodgates.
Rep. Walt Minnick (D-ID), my congressman, became the second Democrat to demand Rangel's resignation today. "I think it was appropriate for Rep. Rangel to step down from his post as a committee chair pending the investigation, but I always prefer to let voters decide whether or not someone should keep his or her seat. However, now that the investigation is complete, and provided the facts are as alleged, I think it's clear that he should resign from Congress." Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said that it's Rangel's choice alone to make. As a party leader, Hoyer has to be a good diplomat and really can't call for a Member's resignation without a conviction, so this is about as damning a statement as he could make under the circumstances. And he made it.
It would obviouslly be helpful to the party if Rangel would step aside, and it would help his district too. Seniority usually helps a district, but once a member's lost his gavel and caucus credibility as Rangel has, there are no benefits to seniority left. If Rangel left now, a new member could begin to build up seniority of their own. His refusal to resign or at least retire is proof that he doesn't have the best interests of his constituents at heart.
That said, this is a legal matter, and legally, someone is innocent until proven guilty. Justice is justice and due process is due process, so I'm more inclined to agree with Hoyer than I am Minnick and Sutton. Rangel has the right to a committee trial if he wants it, even though it would yet again prove that he values himself over his party. I certainly want him to resign and I will be apalled if the Ethics Committee cuts him a deal, but I can't in good conscience declare that the process doesn't matter and that he MUST resign.
But here's hoping, and I'm certainly glad to see Minnick and Sutton stepping forward. The last two ethics investigations to get this far both ended with the accused's eviction, and Rangel said moments ago that he expects to get a trial rather than a plea bargain, so whether he resigns or not things do not look good for "the Chairman."

Reviews for Drizzled Nanaimo Bars
Sort By :
Just a note...true Nanaimo Bars have a luscious and creamy centre filling that is the thickest part of the bar. The chocolate layer on top actually covers the whole thing, as opposed to being drizzled.
I loved these! Yes it was spread a little thin when making, but it tasted fine. I may try and use less chocolate for drizzling next time as it seemed to cover the whole pan.
These were a hit with my family and friends! I wish I had looked on the comments here first before I started though, because I would have known to have done a few things differently! Like the other reviews, the filling barely covered the graham cracker crust, so I doubled the recipe on the filling, and then for the chocolate drizzle on top, I just used 2oz, of chocolate instead of the 8 it called for. I only had 2 oz in my pantry, and this worked out just perfectly! Any more and it would have been WAYYY too much. Glad others felt the same way. I thought these were really good, and everyone I have given them to, seems to love them! I will make again, and of course note the changes on my recipe.
As others have noted, the filling needs to be increased and drizzle decreased (unless you want to cover the entire pan), but overall this was a hit with my family. I will be making it again with the modifications.
Next time I will use the entire box of pudding mix, because the layer with only 2 tablespoons barely covered the pan of graham cracker mix on the bottom. And the chocolate layer was more a complete coverage with 8 oz, than a drizzle. Otherwise tasty!
