Just a Quick ?-
Does anyone know if lowes or HD sell plants for cheap on black friday? Thanks in advance!
Follow-Up Postings:
Not really Lowes usually has a discount plant rack hidden somewhere in the store. The out of season or closer to dead plants hit the discount rack before they toss em out. For some areas and soon all of them Home Depot has 3rd party sub contracted there plant dept to some supposedly "gardening experienced company" that comes in and sets up in store displays swaps new plants in and older/ out of season not as lively ones are removed by them. |

I don't care for the way HD does their plants. I found three plants in one of those combo C&S dishes with 2 plants turned to mush and dead (I wanted the Sans that was left, not really a succulent in my book but I still wanted it). When I asked about getting a discount, I was told that I'd have to take it up with the company that supplied the combo dishes in order to get a discount, otherwise, I'd have to pay full price for the item. *Huff* I've gotten a handful of clearanced plants at Lowes, sometimes you have to get there at just the right time. For us, either the plants are far beyond hope, sometimes they're in really good shape but overpriced for a clearanced plant, and sometimes you find that special gem for a really good price and there is either nothing wrong with the plant or it's a little beat up (I love a challenge, bringing back a rough looking plant that I got for $1 or $2 is exciting). Sometimes a once a week trip is good enough to find something. :) Planto |
I agree whole heartily it is an awful site for any plant at any big box store at any price, add to the dreadful looking plant the inferior knowledge speaking employees that appear to be ROBOTIC trying to sell them. To get them far away from me, when asked I tell them I am looking for an Bernice Elephant. |

I don't honestly think they want to lower their plant prices any more than they have them already, they would rather THROW them away------- :( I was at ummm H/D once and a whole shelf of succulents fell an crashed on the floor, I thought Omg !!!! those poor succulents, maybe they'll let me adopt them for a nice price and I could make everything more better for them. But nope! The vendor was on site , ( Altmans ) I offered to buy the big mess but they said, NO. and instead grapped a broom and shovel and scooped them all into a trash can :( I thought , WHAT THA... That's my experience at H/D. Do I still go there ? Of course I do because they have good prices, although sometimes I find better deals at my local farmers market in town. Right now anyways I have almost ran out of room period for anymore extra plants, but I'm planning to clear out some space and make room for the next big sale someplace -0-0- out there . Greg |
The Lowe's and HD in my area both have a spot off to the side for orphan plants - usually half price. Lowe's has far more. I picked up a succulent basket yesterday at Lowe's for 12.50. It had more than 6 good sized plants, some ready to be divided. The downside was that the watering lady had just been by and it was soggy. I took it apart today to repot it and did find a few mealybugs. The fact that it was in a plastic lined basket impeded drainage. The basket will be used for something else. I did end up with some nice aloes, echeverias, aeoniums, string of pearls, and an unknown plant which caught my eye. |

Nice catch teach. I have found good deals on cacti soil mix on torn bags, like 7 bags for $7.00 but not on the succulents. I noticed your in southern Calif must be your area because I had to watch my H/D throw them in the dumpster. :( |
You might be able to find on sale a "Norfolk Island Pine" multi tree cluster that has been sprayed with sticky stuff so glitter will stay on... buy before it gets dried out and starts to die. |
Norfolk Island Pines are far, far more forgiving than the high in-store mortality rate seems to suggest. I think it's partially due to cold damage -- they get frostbite quickly. When buying one, do make sure that it's not turning black under the stuff that's been sprayed on it. All the succulents at Lowes are pretty much dead by this time of year. I was hoping to get some cheap mesembs but they were all mealy-encrusted messes. Do they stop people from buying obviously dead cacti, by the way? |

My local Lowe's has the smaller poinsettia's for $1 for Black Friday. Nearest HD is about 50 miles away so I don't really follow their sales. |

Hmm, i guess i really didnt want to go out on black friday anywho. Too much crazy people. They really just sweeped them up and threw them away? I would have just fell on the floor and died... Nearest HD 50 miles away? Thats really far... im used to having about 10 HD's and lowe's in a 20 mile radius. |

Right now is not the best time for big box succulents. The have just cleared the shelves for Christmas stuff. About a month ago was time around here. After the new year, Christmas cactus go cheap, and they restock some succulents. Then in March they clear the shelves for patio plants and such. Just before re-stocking seasonal stuff is when they discount them. That's how it seems to work in the Mid-Atlantic. |

This year I've seen several nice yellow Thanksgiving cacti at HD. Not sure if they're stocking the yellow ones around the country. They've been pretty hard to find in years past. If I didn't already have one, I would've purchased one. |
I guess it helps to have conversations with the people that work there. Im in so much for all type of plants and other stuff for models that they know be by name. If succulent are dead Ill tell them and even get cuttings off of them. Although no succulent were on sell this weekend I did get 3 crapemyrtles for 7$. |

Blood Sport: Season 9 arena gameplay predictions
Listening Music: Bush with Glycerine. I had a hard time picking a Bush song, so I went with a tried and true.
I just got done searching for a past article I apparently never wrote. I could have sworn I predicted something about how Season 8 would pan out, but apparently, I just talked about it with my teammates instead of putting my thoughts into internet words. Oh well. I guess I get to make some fun predictions about Season 9 and then recap them later when Season 10 rolls around. That's the plan, anyway.

A recent agreement between Zosano Pharma, Inc. and Novo Nordisk could lead to the introduction of a once-weekly drug for type 2s that is administered via a micro-needle patch system.

Many people with type 2 diabetes are familiar with Byetta, a drug that helps raise their insulin levels. But a new study in the journal Diabetes Care suggests that the drug, known generically as exenatide, might have a role to play for people with type 1 diabetes as well.
0 comments - Posted Oct 3, 2013
Good news for Eli Lilly & Co., as well as for type 2s who appreciate the addition of new drugs to treat their condition: Lilly says its once-weekly injectible drug, dulaglutide, has outperformed three other widely taken diabetes drugs in three just-concluded Phase III studies.

You've heard of the blockbuster drug Byetta, a daily injection for type 2 diabetes? Byetta's sister product, Bydureon, which is injected just once a week, has just been approved by the FDA and is available in pharmacies.

After several years of delays and setbacks, Amylin Pharmaceuticals has received FDA approval to begin US marketing of BydureonTM. The first once-a-week type 2 therapy to be offered in the US market, Bydureon is expected to be available by February. Amylin says that its wholesale price will be about $4,200 a year.

You can't swing a dead yellow-bellied sapsucker without running into an investment speculator whooping it up over the impending bird flu bonanza. Sure, there's been a big potful of money earmarked for avian bird flu vaccines, both public and private. In March, Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt announced that the federal government plans to spend $3.3 billion on bird flu initiatives, about half of that on a vaccine.
Trust me, investors notice these things. Shares of Cel-Sci Corp. skyrocketed in early April after the small biotech company announced that its vaccine might be a stopgap measure to immunize people during the period it takes for a bird flu vaccine to take effect. The stock rose 22% on the news.
BioCryst Pharmaceuticals of Birmingham, Ala., which had a now-disbanded partnership with Johnson & Johnson to develop a vaccine, also saw its stock fly to new heights, hitting a five-year high of $18.42 a share in October on the same news that drove up Novavax's stock.
"If H5N1 makes the jump to human-to-human transmissibility, then watch out" says Luskin. "People can stay away from birds. But they can't stay away from each other. And because H5N1 is so biologically unusual, the human race has no natural immunity to it." Luskin estimates that such a pandemic could take the lives of 16 million Americans—the equivalent of World War III.
Scientifically, current vaccines don't work all that well. Scientists need to plot a biological road map from the disease and, until we see such a viable strain in humans, that becomes a future activity.
That hasn't stopped both companies and global governments from opening their pocketbooks to prevent such a pandemic—and that's where the investment opportunity comes into the picture.
Luskin has developed a useful benchmark to see exactly how biopharm companies are profiting from bird flu vaccine technologies. His "Avian Flu Index" comprises 21 companies engaged in vaccines, testing, therapies, and non-fowl food production. Since launching the index on August 31, 2005, Luskin's index is up a spectacular 64% through March, 2006, far and away higher than the American Stock Exchange (Amex) Biotech Index, which was up 18% over the same period Not a bad year for biotech stocks, is it?.
While Luskin says he will add more firms to the index as more companies get involved with bird flu vaccines, 64% is hardly chicken feed. Perhaps that's why President Bush has asked for $7.1 billion in avian bird flu vaccine spending, to stockpile an antidote that could be given to all 300 million or so American citizens.
Nelson Patterson has been elected to Pharma & Biopharma Outsourcing Association board.
There are significant differences between small molecules and biologics fill/finish capacity.
New organization offers support to contract research organizations and contract manufacturing organizations in the New England area.
Outsourcing is taking on a greater role in the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry.
Bristol-Myers Squibb and Johnson & Johnson announced FDA-approval of Evotaz and Prezcobix, combination HIV-1 infection treatments.

Entrants may elect to set this "entry image" up as a "clickable link" to a higher resolution image if they so desire, and entrants may also elect to instead provide a separate link to such an image if they so choose. If the entrant provides a legally sized and working "clickable link" as their "entry image", that "clickable link" will be included in the polling thread so that voters can examine the high resolution image before voting. However, any "entry images" displayed on the CN site that do not meet the file size and pixel dimension requirements will subject the entry to disqualification. Any questions on this rule? Just ask.
4. Please include the equipment used to take the image. Scope/Mount/Camera/Focal reducers/Barlows...whatever. Also include your location.

Unless you own that remote scope and have set it up aligned it and hooked your camera up. Then you can use it. No pay by the hour renta-scope images will be allowed.
*If you have a physical disability which prevents you from being able to set up your equipment, you may still post images in the contests. However, you must own the equipment.
8. Most importantly! Have fun. Support one another's efforts. As we all can learn from this and enjoy each others accomplishments.

Black Dating Sites Or Mainstream Sites
Using a black dating site can come with its own advantages and disadvantages. Although interracial marriages are on the rise the vast majority of people that end up together are of the same racial background. There are a few options for using black dating sites and here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of doing so.
First of all the main benefit is that if you are attracted to or seeking a black male or female partner, the database on a black dating website is usually quite specific to only black male and female users. Many dating websites do not have a filter for ethnicity or to sort users in such a way, it normally goes off of a match or rating system. A black dating site will save someone who seeks this kind of connection a lot of time as they will not have to sort through a ton of different profiles in order to find black users.
There is a possibility that some people in online communities may not know about the existence of black dating websites so they will not have their own profile available on one of these websites. There is also a chance that you may miss out on users who are of different ethnicities and have not created profiles on a black dating website.
Some of the top black dating websites include:
BlackSexMatch.com: This website features profiles from people who want to hookup with black men and black women around the world. The website is free to join and register and features a fairly simple interface that can be used by just about anyone. There is a good sized user database with people from just about every country around the world. There are also a number of success strategies from several different users which prove that the site is no joke and has created real meaningful connections between users.
Blackdating.easydatingagency.com: This is another website that allows people to create a free profile and try the service. Even by visiting the website someone is able to search through thousands of users to see what is available in their area and on the database. With a clean look and the ability to post media on a user profile this website allows users to connect and customize their profiles much more than many of the largest dating websites on the market.
Afroromance.com: This website is for interracial dating. People who are interested in dating different ethnic backgrounds from their own can use their website to search among black, Latino, Asian or white profiles making the connection very easy. There are a number of success stories on the website and it is quite easy to create a profile and start mingling with other users online. This service is also entirely free and has worked for many to find romance and make connections.
Keeping these websites in mind and some of the advantages and disadvantages of black dating in mind you can pick if using one of these websites is the right choice for you to help you make the best online connections possible for dating.

Hey there boys and girls! I figured I might as well make a comeback with a cocktail...what else? Back in my sailing and chheffing days, we'd holler out this phrase around Jimmy Buffet hour and it would get our guests rarin' to go..."Anyone for blender sports?!" Yes, indeedy. This little classic from the Islands will affect you just as the name attests, no pain, mon! Have a great weekend, soupers!!
OK, this isn't "Meatless" AT ALL, but it's really quite good for you and I made it up, so that's all you need to know, right? Yes, I'm going crazy AND it's Monday. Not much we can do about that except perhaps kick off your shoes one night this week, fire up the grill, grab a cold beer and make this for dinner!
I created this recipe for a friend who wanted to eat healthier and learn some basic soup techniques. Lentils (legumes) aren't as tricky as one might think, just PAY ATTENTION!!!! Oh, and um, these are guestimates, but I'm sure that my savvy readers can work it out. Have fun...
Many of my best stories occur whilst sitting at a bar (yes, I'm known to do that on occasion) and this one fits the bill, to a tee. My latest and greatest tender of libations is John, from The Islands Hotel in Newport Beach, CA. My BFF and I were sipping on his "Black Crush" and he pointed out the fact that the caddie at the end of the expanse was 50 and gee, didn't he look great?! My comment, "I can't see that far and I'm not even 50!" The older gentlemen to my right chimed in, "Wow, you're a pretty good lookin' 60 year old!" That quip got a high five and laughs all around.
Yes, I know it isn't Monday ~ I'm not that far gone. However, I just received this amazing recipe from amazing vegan Chef, Jason Wyrick of The Vegan Culinary Experience. Take a minute to visit his site and subscribe to his newsletter. And um, how could you possibly go wrong when Mushrooms and Goulash are the title of a dish....YIPEEE!!!
There's nothing like crawling out from under a rock and going to visit your best friend! She has a way of challenging me to be a better person and I love her dearly for it. I walked in her door Friday afternoon and she handed me a soup recipe to post on the site. Basically, she told me to get back to work....where in the hell would we be without our friends? Oh, and we did a little digging....
If you haven't noticed, I've kind of been under the radar for awhile and have neglected my duties with into the Soup. Rather than go into great detail, let's just say I was bombarded by a shit storm…or 7!
Can you imagine being in a real one – figurative speech aside. YUCK!!! It's not in my nature to crawl under a rock, but I did; and upon emerging, you can bet I took a long, hot shower.
Kakavia or Greek Fisherman's Soup A classic Greek dish often compared to the French bouillabaisse, any Greek will tell you that it's tastier and easier to make! Traditionally made with the catch of the day, the selection of fish and seafood can be changed with the seasons, as long as the fish are fairly small and suitable for boiling.
With a catchy and suggestive name like "Blame it on Rio," I knew there must be a story behind the "Celebrity Whet" this week that was submitted to us by Sean at Harold's Corral, Cave Creek. A quick internet search turned up the IMDb page for the 1984 "classic" (get this) Blame it on Rio.

We sampled several new Kashi entrees and every mother's favorite, Van de Kamp's frozen, beer battered fish fillets. Some were what we expected and others were um, well...you just have to listent to it!

"This recipe is pretty good. I added some liquid smoke and vegetarian ham (available at Chinese/Vietnamese grocery stores in freezer section) to make it more authentically French-Canadian. I will make it again. Thanks."
"I've been looking for a good vegetarian pancake recipe for a long time. When in Hue, they were called Hue pancake; when in Ho Chi Minh City, they were called Saigon pancake. Yours are very good and I highly recommend the recipe to somebody who wants to try them."
"I came up with the idea that I'd try to make an apple turnover, using rice paper. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I found this recipe. Thank you ... it is almost exactly as I would have made it. Not sure what size rice paper you used, as I have two sizes here, but I will experiment and see what happens. Thanks."
"If I could give this more stars, I would. Had a large gathering of mostly vegetarians, but some meat eaters, and decided to try this. I made 2 pies. Everybody, including the meat eaters, had seconds and begged me for the recipe. Extremely tasty and a real comfort food. Thanks for sharing your friend's recipe."
"This sounds delicious. I've been wanting to make my own dog food for a while and this seems the healthiest I've seen. I don't know proportions - do you know how much per weight of dog to feed per day?"
"I'm vegetarian, but am into substituting. So I made this using extra firm tofu, instead of the chicken. Served it over basmati rice. Everybody thought it was delicious. Thanks."

Former world number one, Tiger Woods, will play in next month's $1.02 million Honda Classic for the first time as a professional, a statement on his website said on Tuesday.
"I've heard great things about the Honda Classic and now that I live here in Florida I want to play whenever possible," the statement said. "Jack Nicklaus's involvement in the tournament and the benefits to the local community are also important."
The 14-times major champion made his only previous appearance in the Honda event as a 17-year-old amateur in 1993.
The Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation is the main beneficiary of the March 1-4 Honda Classic to be played at Palm Beach Gardens.
Woods is also planning to compete in next week's WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Marana, Arizona - a tournament he won in 2003, 2004 and 2008- and the WGC-Cadillac Championship March 8-11 in Miami, a trophy he has lifted eight times.
Woods has slipped to 18th in the world rankings having not won a full-field event since the 2009 Australian Masters

This is one of the songs I've uploaded from my new album 'Advice to the Wayfarer'. It features fingerstyle playing throughout and it's been frequently compared to David Bowie. I've enabled free downloads on the facebook and reverbnation pages.
Hey folks here is a link to my Reverbnation page where I have five original compositions that I think you will enjoy. Thanks for listening.
Just a shout out that my new album featuring songs about santa cruz is out now:
Friends, I am looking for nice fingerstyl arrangements of "My Way," made famous by Sinatra, and a classic hymn, "In the Garden," preferably in standard tuning. Does anyone have any to share, or is anyone aware of who might have them?
Greetings fingerstyle players. Check out my new arrangement of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". It's the Hawaiian guys version.
@Bill, Thanks! Glad you loved it.
That's a great idea. Yes, they are programmable. Actually, I don't use the one, they setup for the phone, because it doesn't seem to help much. I like that idea, maybe I can get a setting tuned so it brings my guitar out of the clutter.
Thanks for the advice!!!
I know you're right, but I have a bit of a problem hearing-wise. I need to use my hearing aids, and fm transmitter to actually hear what I'm doing. In most coffeehouses, they are really loud to me. All of those grinders, and expresso machines confuse the heck out of me. See the thing about hearing aids is they amplify everything equally. So, I get lost pretty easily.
But, I suppose you're right, I should just do it, and if it doesn't work out, well, that's OK.

To: The Haters
From: LeBron James
RE: Hating
[At] the end of the day, all the people that was rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I'm going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that.
They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal, but they have to get back to the real world at some point.
Action items:
- Stop hating.
- Chill.
- Worry about yourself.
- Maybe see some sort of psychiatrist for your personal problems.

Founded in 1997, Sembawang Lighting House Pte Ltd have been providing quality and afforable home lighting solutions to the neighbourhood. We were located in the old Sembawang Shopping Centre for 10 years and shifted to the current location about 7 years ago. We welcome all old and new customers.
Reviews for Sembawang Lighting House Pte Ltd
1) "I passed SLH every time I go to SSC, it never crossed my mind to go into the shop as it is quite small. Than in April 2012, after I came back from an overseas trip and leaving for a 3 months overseas assignment in May, I have about one over week to look for some lights and ceiling fans for the contractor to do up my new flat. And, SLH came to mind, I never regret going into the "SMALL" shop, the lau pan nian (madam boss) was very friendly and helpful and ontop of that I was able to get what I wanted. So never think only big shops have what you need. My sister, who lives in Europe (Luxembourg) came and she likes it and brought some home for her new house. She wants me order another 10 - 15 pieces and I am waiting for her confirmation. So SLH you may look small from outside but BIG with your products and service." - Mary from Woodlands
2) "We purchased all the lightings for our new home from this shop along Sembawang Road. Their service was very good. As we had no experience, the staff guided us very well and explained the type of lights suitable for each part of the house. They were very pleasant and approachable, unlike other places which might be pushy. Their prices were also reasonable and good discounts were given. We returned again few weeks later, as we purchased extra downlights and we were allowed to exchange for any items we wanted. So,we got two pretty bedside lamps and still had extra balance from the price of the extra lights. The staff serving us then advised us to get extra bulbs which will be handy. They also helpe us change the bulbs for two lights that were of the wrong colour within 20 minutes. The boss Mrs Chia was very kind and the whole family of staff made us feel very comfortable and at ease. It was an enjoyable experience shopping with them. We are glad we made the right choice! Good and efficient service. We will surely go back to this cosy place when we need to purchase in future :-)" - Jean and Jesudass from Woodlands
3) "I'm very happy and satisfied with Sembawang Lighting House! Their family team really served us whole heartedly from selection to delivery. My request to change items was also handled without any hiccups. It was a pleasant and stress-free experience shopping at Sembawang Lighting House. I will definitely recommend them to my friends" - Jennifer Chong from Jurong
4) "Indeed a pleasant experience with the service staff from the initial purchase to the delivery of the items. We chose a total of four KDK fans, and numerous lights for our entire new apartment. And the best part, we only knew them on the internet but decided to choose them to fulfill all our lighting and fan needs because they had unique designs at affordable prices and of course, as mentioned, a service oriented attitude among their team of staff. They were flexible with the various arrangements such as changing our minds on a certain design of light that would better suit our dining area. Also, light casings that had slight scratches, Roy changed for me promptly even without me asking for a change. Please always give them a thinker if you are passing by Sembawang Lighting House. As a customer, I fully endorse them for your kind consideration. Good job Roy and friends!" - Japeth Chong from Marsiling
5) "Went to check out Sembawang Lighting House with my parents and fiance after a close friend recommended them to us. It was definitely a fruitful trip! The designs are up-to-date with very resonable price tags. Their service is absolutely wonderful too. The owners are patient to answer any questions we have and they do not try to hard-sell their products. Definitely will go back there when our new house arrives!" - Ping Yee from Yishun
6) "Customer Service was well renedered as these days it is so hard to get someone to even smile and attend to you without feeling that you are unpleasant to the CSO. She was on the line but she hung up and attended to me. (I loved that although a pity i genuinely forgot her name.) She recommended me the appropriate fan for my home stating the difference in material and the maintainability of the diff fan. Gave me discount too!!! Roy was pleasant and helpful in arranging for delivery and even flexible when i had to add an extra fan and change the size of one without even demanding the balance cash..there was trust. I would recommend and visit this shop again for sure if i need too! Thank you so much =)" - Tina Manogaran from Bishan
7) "Bought all our lightings from Sembawang Lighting House. Excellent service and most importantly, excellent after sales service! Special thanks to Esther who is patient in handing our queries. Forgot the name of the young gentleman, thanks to him too for delivering the lights. He went the extra mile to open and show me how to fix the light for my ceiling fan. For new home owners, I strongly recommend you to visit Sembawang Lighting House." - Sha Hir from Yishun
8) "Thumbs up for great customer service! The staff had given us lots of advices regarding suitable fans. Bought 3 ceiling fans based on our likings and their advices. Also provide us with fans suitable for our needs and based on the budget we allocated. Price is definitely cheaper than other shops outside. Will patronise the shop and recommend it to family members and friends." - Sharifah Munirah from Marsiling
9) "Thumbs Up, Roy and Team for their Excellent Service. Particularly, to Roy who waited patiently for me during delivery time (I'm late!). Really appreciate your recommendation on the type & dimension of ceiling fan that I should get after looking at my false ceiling. Will definitely recommend SLH to relatives & friends." Daphne Ang from Sengkang
10) "Was very happy with the pleasant service of Sembawang Lighting House. We were happy with the lighting as well as the installation at our new home. Uncle Albert Chia was extremely patient with me and my wife's fickleness choice of the lighting according to the style, bulbs,etc. Uncle Albert did help us to choose the suitable lighting for each room like living room, kitchen, backyard,etc.So we feel that Sembawang Lighting House's a must-go for those who have tight budget for the lighting for their home." - Joseph from Boon Keng
11) "What strikes me about SLH (as compared to some lighting shops) is the personalised service we received. They are patient with us spending time looking around, and readily answers our queries on lighting options, characteristics etc (unlike some shops we visited where u can see the salespersons' faces turned gloomy if u spend too much time looking around/asking qns and not buying). In fact, my wife and I visited SLH twice and only purchased during the 2nd visit but i could sense that they still served us as best as they could on both occasions. And not to mention the reasonable price. Hope that SLH really keep up with this good service cos I believe that customers would normally shop around but they would likely go back to the shop that they feel good about." - Customer
12) "Was recommended to Sembawang Light house by another friend and I was definitely convinced I made the right choice. I had previously went to other lighting shops but Sembawang was definitely better both in terms of pricing and service. Roy, the owner did not recommend products with the highest prices but yet those that suited the requirements of my house. He was very patient and slowly guided us through his list of products that the shop has. We were very happy with the products after they were installed. I would strongly recommended Sembawang Lighting house to all. Cheers!" - Marcus from Serangoon
13) "Thank you for your time and effort in helping us eventually decide on our home lightings. You were all very attentive and helpful, especially Uncle (didn't manage to catch his name) and Roy. We changed our mind on our dining light a few days later, yet they still enthusiatically assisted us. Never once pushy in selling their items, they even told us to think it through. Also, our electrician called us to inform that we bought the wrong watt for one of the bulbs. We called SLH and they happily told us to bring it back for exchange. This "after-purchased" customer service impressed us so much, we will certainly tell our friends about you, and look forward to returning soon. (=" - Asriyanti Sulhan from Yishun
14) "My husband and I are impressed that even though Sembawang Lighting House is only a small retail shop, it has quite a good range of lightings which caters to various customers' differentiated needs. Most of all is the fantastic service rendered which includes installation at a nominal price and after sales service. A sense of personal touch is something which both my husband and I like. We look forward to patronize the shop in the near future and will strongly recommend to others. Good service and keep it up! Cheers." - Grace Ng

41) I was told by my ID to get 38 LED spot lights and some other lights. Little did I know that there are countless light cases, bulbs and drivers to choose from and the price differs greatly. Then I chanced upon this store without the slightest intention to purchase on the spot. Mrs Chia completely blew me off with her patience, sincerity and empathy for a 1st time home owner like us. As a smart consumer, it is only right to compare and get the best deal. But today is one of the rare occasions I made a big purchase on the spot without any comparison and walked away happy and confident. Trust is hard to come by nowadays and I see that in Mrs Chia. I just have to share this short but wonderful experience. I want more new house owners to benefit and I want this small humble light shop to prosper because they deserve it! - Raphael Chong from Punggol

The Wisconsin DNR has decided it wants to shut down the highly successful MacKenzie Environmental Education Center in 6 months. They want to convert the area into a place "…for recruiting adults, families and children into hunting, fishing, and trapping." http://www.mackenziecenter.com
The next Natural Resources Board meeting is Feb 27.
Quote from Annalynn Hammond, Lead Wildlife Technician, MacKenzie Evironmental Education Center and Dane County Humane Society
"We need your help! Please let the DNR administration know that the MacKenzie Center contract should be extended, and a Master Plan/public meeting process should be required for major changes on the MacKenzie Center property. Please let them know the MacKenzie Center should stay open long term, continuing to provide school-based environmental education in concert with the DNR's increased emphasis on outdoor skills (hunting, trapping, fishing) training. Please act quickly, as the coming days and weeks will determine the future of the MacKenzie Center. Please call, write, or email the officials whose contact information is listed at the end of this email. Your voice really can make an impact: public comments to the Natural Resources Board played a crucial role in preventing the DNR from shutting the MacKenzie Center in the past and helped pave the way for the current partnership."

Sound Image Tops Off Brad Paisleyâs Tour With HARMANâs JBL VTX Line Arrays and Crown I-Tech HD Amplifiers
NORTHRIDGE, California â Country music star Brad Paisley is currently in the final leg of his 2013 âBeat This Summer Tourâ throughout the United States and Canada. To support Paisleyâs exceptional voice and talents, Sound Image of Escondido, California, is providing HARMANâs JBL VTX line arrays and Crown I-Tech HD amplifiers.
A total of 44 VTX V25 fullsize line array elements comprise the system on Paisleyâs tour, along with 16 VTX S28 subwoofers, all powered by 40 Crown I-Tech 12000 HD amplifiers. âWhen I first heard the VTX system, I was shockingly impressed. I was amazed by the sound quality when we first fired it up,â according to Greg Hancock, Audio Crew Chief for the tour.
âThere were specific sounds that Brad was looking for because he plays in a distinctive style. We were able to accommodate that, because with its high-frequency range, the VTX offers a lot more detail than our previous systems,â said Brendan Hines, FOH Systems Engineer.
Sound quality is not the only area where VTX exceeds expectations. It also enables extremely quick setup times, as VTXâs patented S.A.F.E. suspension system is streamlined for speed and efficiency with improved hardware for faster setup with fewer pinning operations and greater security.
âThe flexibility and ease with which the VTX is set up benefits us in terms of completing the necessary system configurations to control feedback,â Hines added. âHaving that much control over the feedback of those PAâs makes it much easier for tuning.â
The state-of-the-art performance of the VTX PAâs is further enhanced by the Crown I- Tech HD amplifiers, the pinnacle of advanced professional touring amplifier technology.
âThe Crown I-Tech HDâs are a huge improvement, their reliability is outstanding, the sound quality is phenomenal, and the flexibility it gives you as a systems engineer is awesome,â said Hines. âWeâve taken another step in the right direction,â said Kevin Freeman, Production Manager.

GRAPH EXPO 2006: Sheetfed/Web Offset Presses — Heyday(s) For Heavy Iron
November 2006While electing to hold off making public individual press sales agreements until actual delivery, Komori confirmed the sale of 46 machines worth $74 million during Graph Expo, including an eight-color LS40 sheetfed press and a six-unit System 38 web to CGI North America of Jersey City, NJ.
On the service front, a new addition to the KomoriCare package is its 18x2 warranty plan. This new program provides full coverage for the first 18 months of ownership and an additional 18 months of coverage on major press components. Included are two press wellness checks by a Komori service team.
Service plans were also a key theme during Heidelberg USA's press conference held the following morning. Building on the successful launch of its systemservice 36plus program at PRINT 05, Heidelberg unveiled its new Partner Program.
It allows customers to customize their own service plan, choosing from a suite of 20 standard and premium offerings. These include predictive and preventative maintenance in the areas of parts supply, repair service, remote diagnostics, remote inspection, software support and maintenance inspection.
Also launched was a new Website, www.printersadvantage.com, as part of Heidelberg's Printers Advantage program specifically tailored for small offset printing companies.
Employing the theme "Connect for Success," Heidelberg showed its new Anicolor zoneless short inking unit with dampening system for the first time in the United States. Designed for four-color models of the Speedmaster SM 52, it will become commercially available next fall. The technology makes the press suitable for very short runs, even just a few hundred sheets.
With Anicolor, the ink is stored in the ink chamber rather than on the surface of the rollers, where it is housed in a conventional inking unit. This means the operator does not need to adjust any ink keys during makeready, thus cutting makeready time by up to 40 percent and increasing press capacity by 25 percent or more.
Also running at the show was a six-color Speedmaster CD 74 press with coater and extended delivery featuring Heidelberg's Peak Performance Package, which enables real speeds of up to 18,000 iph on a wide range of substrates. This is accomplished through a newly developed suction head and automatic pile lifting control system, as well as a dynamic sheet break that contributes to a precisely aligned pile at very high speeds.
The eight-color Speedmaster XL 105 equipped with a coating unit and extended delivery running in Heidelberg's booth was sold to Oracle Packaging, a Winston-Salem, NC-based flexible packaging and folding carton converter.
A six-color Speedmaster CD 102 with coating unit and extended delivery was also shown in an entry-level, more affordable, configuration.
KBA Consolidates
Although KBA North America opted to show only one press in its booth, the press manufacturer did make several major announcements. During its press conference, Ralf Sammeck, president and CEO, revealed that KBA will integrate its sheetfed and web divisions into one operation for sales and service.
The company is transferring its web press sales, service and parts activities from York, PA, to its sheetfed division headquarters in suburban Burlington, VT.
With a reported 80 percent market share in the large-format sheetfed market, the company also announced plans to invest more than $5 million in its newly renovated customer center in Vermont, including the installation early next year of a six-color, 56˝ Rapida 142 press with coater. Likewise, a waterless, keyless 29˝ perfector (Rapida 74 G) will debut in 2007.
Graph Expo also served as the launching pad for KBA's new consumables division. A Website has been created to enable online consumables ordering.
Aside from waiting in long lines for the 5,000 maps printed on an 81˝ Rapida 205 prior to the show, visitors were able to check out the new version of KBA's Genius 52 UV press printing various substrates, including plastic and lenticular.
Building on KBA's reported 25 percent sales growth rate in 2006, press sales announced during the show included an eight-color Rapida 105 UV perfector to BL Litho in Montreal; a six-color Rapida 142 to All Out Printing in Woodridge, IL; a five-color Genius 52 to Las Vegas-based H&H Enterprises; and three 74 Karat presses to an unnamed Midwestern printer.
MAN Roland also reported an across-the-board rise in North American sales at its press conference. Current CEO Yves Rogivue—who will be succeeded in that role by COO Vince Lapinski effective January 1—pointed to record North American press sales growth this year of 28 percent (38 percent for sheetfed; 21 percent for web).
Sales announced at the show included a 32-page commercial web to Hi-Liter/Inland Graphics of Burlington, WI; a 10-color Roland 700 perfector for McArdle Printing, Upper Marlboro, MD; an eight-color 700 perfector for The Sheridan Press, Hanover, PA; and a five-color Roland 500 perfector to Brainerd, MN-based Bang Printing.
Electing to shuttle customers to its demo center and nearby customer sites in lieu of demonstrating equipment in its booth, MAN Roland did promote its printservices. A related exhibit feature was printcom—a consumables, parts and supply source. Its latest development, a Website called manroland- direct.com, connects customers to an inventory of some 80,000 spare parts and consumable components.
Similar sales success marked the xpedx Printing Technologies booth, which marked the first time that press manufacturer Ryobi and its distributor, xpedx, shared a single booth to showcase the wide breadth of company offerings. xpedx is North America's largest distributor of paper, prepress, on-press and postpress supplies and equipment, plus packaging and facility supplies and equipment. xpedx also relies on a team of 50 Ryobi dealers across the U.S. to provide localized service.
Three Ryobi presses were shown: a five color, 23x29˝ 755XL-E with UV capabilities; a four-color, 14x20˝ 524GX-P perfector; and a 3404 DI. Ryobi's CIP4-JDF compliant MIS system also received attention.
Don Harvey, vice president and general manager, indicated that the opening day was the best first day of any Graph Expo he had participated in since 1968. Harvey attributed some of the high interest in Ryobi presses to the benefits of six-up (29˝) press formats in comparison to 40˝ models. With industry trends toward short runs requiring quick makereadies and job changeovers, he pointed to the 29˝ format's added benefits of less manning and electrical requirements.
Czech Republic-based ADAST reported enthusiastic response to its "Automation Affordable" feature set, which the company combines with CIP3/CIP4 compatibility and perfecting options to offer sheetfed offset presses designed for short-run, multicolor work.
The feature set includes: semi-automatic plate changers; the CIP3/CIP4-compatible AdaControl computerized inking console; automatic blanket washers; and automatic ink roller washup with auto-spray to disperse ink wash fluid.
ADAST demonstrated a five-color, 191⁄2x26˝ model 757 sheetfed press with an in-line coater.
60-second Plate Changes
Mitsubishi Lithographic Presses' (MLP U.S.A.) "New Technology Opening New Worlds" exhibit theme featured ongoing demonstrations of SimulChanger, its newly developed plate changing technology. A six-color, 28x40˝ Diamond 3000LX sheetfed UV press, equipped with a tower coater, extended delivery and SimulChanger, ran a number of jobs on cellulose-type paper, carton stock and plastic substrates.
With the fully automated SimulChanger, a complete plate change on all units can be carried out in approximately one minute, regardless the number of colors involved.
The company also highlighted additional new technologies, such as its Portable DRA system for measuring and analyzing press performance, as well as the Mitsubishi Color Control System V (MCCS-V). The latest version of Digital Register Analysis (DRA) can identify the exact cause and location of complex mechanical problems on any size or make of press at customer sites and then recommend appropriate solutions.
Sakurai USA exhibited the expanded family of its SD series of automated offset presses, which now includes a 20x26˝ size, as well as the popular 235⁄8x31˝ size. Both press sizes are available with perfecting and UV and aqueous coaters.
Announced at the show was the sale of a five-color, 23x30˝ Sakurai press with coater to Sun Dance Graphics in Orlando.
Hamada of America debuted the Duetto Mark I perfector, which features a new feeder that has the ability to run makeready waste from one feeder pile, then good sheets from another pile—or it can be used as a continuous feeder. Also shown was the new B452 Mark II, a 14x20˝ sheetfed press (available in two-, four- or five-color models with aqueous coating) that is capable of speeds to 10,000 sph.
Akiyama International highlighted its sheetfed press lineup, including the "eXtreme" one-sided press, the double-sided J Print series and the Bestech for high-quality output without perfecting.
On the web offset front, Goss International used the show to promote its Lifetime Support program for post-sale service, repair, parts replacement and training, as well as to tout some press installations. Cox Target Media in St. Petersburg, FL, (see Industry News, page 5) is in the process of putting in two eight-unit Sunday 4000 presses equipped with Automatic Transfer technology, and Papa John's International has installed a four-unit Sunday 2000 within its commercial printing division in Louisville, KY.
Dauphin Graphic Machines promoted the DGM 440 press, a compact commercial UV or heatset press, replacing traditional in-house sheetfed and commercial half-web presses. Setup includes a combination folder producing up to 40,000 16-page signatures an hour, in addition to a finishing system producing 160,000 flat four-pagers an hour.
Despite numerous contracts signed during Graph Expo, manufacturers will be pressing ahead the next several weeks trying to close on leads generated at the show. PI
