...and one of time...: A Composition for Full Orchestra with Narration.
Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community.
Date: December 1999
Creator: Rinker, John Thomas
Description: '...and one of time.' is a reinterpretation of a small musical moment from Philip Glass' opera, Einstein on the Beach, centered around the phrase "Berne, Switzerland 1905." This reinterpretation is realized through the use of several different compositional techniques including spectral composition, micropolyphony and dodecaphony, as well as the application of extra-musical models developed by Alan Lightman, John Gardner, Italo Calvino and Albert Einstein.

Blueline Concerto: Critical Essay
Date: August 2013
Creator: Lamb, Christopher
Description: The purpose of this critical essay is two-fold. First, the essay presents a detailed critical analysis of my original composition, Blueline Concerto for bass trombone and wind ensemble. Second, using Blueline Concerto, the essay presents preliminary findings of my study to develop an approach to composing that takes into account the musicians' health, specifically regarding noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). Through various hypothesized composition- and orchestral-based approaches, I test effectiveness on changes in NIHL risk while also noting that artistic merit and compositional integrity is preserved.

Brass Band History and Idiomatic Writing in Brass Music
Date: May 2013
Creator: Kahler, Elyse T.
Description: The purpose of this research was to explore historical perspective of brass music. There is a brief history of brass bands in Britain. Furthermore, the paper examines the differences between two brass band pieces in the repertoire, A Western Fanfare by Eric Ewazen and Brass Symphony by Jan Koetsier. Both of these pieces were compared and contrasted against the author's newly composed work for brass, Two Companion Pieces for Brass Ensemble. The paper covers different techniques commonly used in brass writing and points these techniques out in all three pieces.

Breaking Through: A Composition for Symphony Orchestra
Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community.
Date: August 2002
Creator: Dribus, John Alexander
Description: Breaking Through is a single-movement composition for symphony orchestra based on a fourteen-note melody. Every harmonic and melodic figure except the bass line is derived from this source melody. The structure of the work is based on a number of musical dichotomies that work on both local and large-scale levels. The local dichotomies contrast consonance with dissonance and ambiguity with clarity (in respect to texture and rhythm). The dichotomy of two-part form versus three-part form and the dichotomy of simplicity versus complexity operate on the large scale. The unity lended by the single source melody coupled with the contrasts furnished by the aforementioned dichotomies allow Breaking Through to be both coherent and interesting.

Clestrinye [El Carnaval del Perdón]: Traditional rituals in intermedia composition.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Salazar, Camilo
Description: In Part I of this thesis, I examine the use of Latin American rituals, ceremonies, and traditional folklore as conceptual and compositional material; studying and re-contextualizing concepts, cultures, and ideologies, and introducing them to foreign audiences. I explore issues such as laptop improvisation, interaction with other performance forces, and the utilization of the social elements of non-western celebrations, as explored in Clestrinye, a work for live and fixed electronics, mixed ensemble, dancers, and painters.

Clockwork Plums
Date: May 2004
Creator: Bradford, Joshua
Description: Based on a story by Joshua Forehand with additional lyrics by Joshua Bradford, Clockwork Plums is an original musical work that integrates techniques and ideas from composers and different cultures. The accompanying essay about the work includes a summary of the story, "Clockwork Plums," some historical background covering 30 years of pop music, an analysis focusing on the use of African and Reichian compositional devices, and discussion about controlled improvisation and use of the voice as compositional tools. The music consists of three sections scored for 5 voices (lead male vocalist and SATB), flute (doubling tenor saxophone), Bb clarinet (doubling baritone saxophone), violin, cello, piano, electronic keyboard, electric guitar, electric bass, drum set, and percussion.

Critical Discussion of Pleroma: A Digital Drama and Its Relevance to Tragic Form in Music
Date: December 2010
Creator: Lucas, Stephen
Description: Pleroma is a digital drama: a work composed of digital animation combined with electroacoustic music, presenting an original dramatic narrative. Pleroma's dramatic elements evoke both the classical form of tragedy and the concept of perceptual paradox. A structural overview of the drama and its characters and a plot synopsis are given to provide context for the critical discussion. Analytical descriptions of Beethoven's Coriolan Overture Op.62 and Mahler's Symphony No. 9 are provided to give background on tragic form and Platonic allegory in music. An investigation into the elements discussed in the analysis of the instrumental works reveals several layers of possible interpretation in Pleroma. Dramatic elements allow for tragic narratives to be constructed, but they are complemented by character associations formed by pitch relationships, stylistic juxtapositions, and instrumentation. A copy of the dramatic text is included to supplement the multimedia production.

As Darkness Falls: A Composition for Wind Ensemble
Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community.
Date: December 1999
Creator: Prinz, Kendall R.
Description: As Darkness Falls is a composition that explores our interaction with several aspects of darkness through the use of musical imagery. The imagery attempts to reflect the moods, feelings, and impressions of a person as he or she interacts with darkness. The non-programmatic character of the composition allows listeners to superimpose their own experiences onto the musical tapestry in order to manifest a personal connection between the listener and the music. As Darkness Falls is a composition scored for a minimum instrumentation of piccolo, 6 flutes, 3 oboes, 3 bassoons, 9 B-flat clarinets, B-flat bass clarinet, 2 E-flat alto saxophones, B-flat tenor saxophone, E-flat baritone saxophone, 4 B-flat trumpets, 4 horns in F, 3 tenor trombones, bass trombone, 2 euphoniums, 2 tubas, timpani, and 4 percussionists. The music consists of three movements (slow-slow-fast) lasting a total of approximately seventeen minutes. The duration of each of the three movements is six minutes, four and one-half minutes, and six and one-half minutes, respectively. The document also contains an analysis of the work by the composer. The analysis explores the compositional style of the work, focusing on musical aspects within each movement that were governing parameters in the compositional process.

Five Seasons: A composition for flutist and percussionist
Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community.
Date: August 2001
Creator: Kim, Chol-Ho
Description: Five Seasons is a musical work for flute and percussion. The flutist alternately performs on the C flute with a B foot, alto flute, piccolo, and bass flute in each movement. The percussionist also plays different instruments in each movement: the vibraphone for Mid-Summer; the xylophone for Fall; the woodblock, temple block, and cowbells for Spring; the glockenspiel for Summer; and the marimba for Winter. The five movements of this work - Mid-Summer, Fall, Spring, Summer, and Winter - are based on a combination of Eastern performing practices with Western instruments. The musical characteristics are based on the techniques of fifteenth-century (e.g., isorhythmic technique) and twentieth-century Western music.

Fractus I for Trumpet in C and Electronic Sound: A Critical Examination of the Compositional Process
Date: May 2010
Creator: Fieldsteel, Eli Mulvey
Description: Fractus I is a composition for trumpet in C and live electronic sound. The electronics were primarily created using SuperCollider, an environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis. This project investigates SuperCollider's pattern and task functionality as a means of supporting and enriching the compositional process. Fractus I develops several different code architectures in order to randomize as well as synchronize various musical elements. The piece exploits SuperCollider as both an audio synthesis tool and a performance conduit. Additionally, the nature of SuperCollider's patterns and tasks influences the form and content of the composition. The project underscores SuperCollider as a powerful, versatile and open-ended tool for musical composition and examines future directions and improvements.

Mercy re-accredited by American College of RadiologyFeb. 5, 2014 |
SPRINGFIELD – Western Massachusetts PET-CT Imaging at Mercy Medical Center has been re-accredited for a three-year term by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
PET-CT combines two separate imaging tools, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computerized Tomography (CT), to collect both anatomical and biological information during a single exam and fuses them together. The test provides physicians with access to the most accurate information on disease location and metabolism, while providing patients with more choices in treatment, a better chance for a positive outcome and the ability to avoid unnecessary procedures. The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety standards. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Guidelines and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report that can be used for continuous practice improvement. "ACR accreditation for PET-CT imaging is an important indicator of Mercy Medical Center's ongoing commitment to high quality patient care," Jayson St Jacques, M.D., medical advisor of PET-CT Imaging at Mercy Medical Center, said. "By selecting an ACR accredited facility, patients can be sure they will receive the best possible care from the time of the initial physician referral, during the actual imaging procedure, to the final exam report." Mercy Medical Center added a fixed unit PET-CT in 2006, and Western Massachusetts PET-CT Imaging remains the only full-time in-house provider of this advanced diagnostic testing service in the local area. PET-CT imaging utilizes the latest technology in the diagnosis of cancer, cardiac imaging, and neurology dementia assessment. The ACR is a national professional organization serving more than 36,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services. |

A cross-hatch drawing just for fun =)
Hi everyone! So happy you like this. It is actually an "old" side to me Bianca. lol did this one a few years ago. Guess it is a good reminder to go back to basics now and then. My style has become a little more loose and representational than realistic. =)
You drew this? WOW! In my opinion, this is most definitely front page worthy!! Come on lego man! Promoting!
Muchas gracias Alvarez! Thank you everyone! Yes, I did draw it. It is 14" by 17" and completely cross-hatched using a .01 micron pen if I remember correctly. The entire drawing took about 15 hours to complete. I am glad you think it is front-page worthy C.r....lol who knows? Thank you for the support =)
lol, yes he is sad because the other Lego dud got more attention on the front page tee hee. Thank you David!
COULD.NOT.RESIST. I just bought this for my son's room. This is SO beyond fabulous - and he is OBSESSED with Legos. :) Can't wait to surprise him with it!

February 24
Yesterday I was able to join some other frequent flyers for a United Mini Do just north of Houston for some good food, good fun, and to raise some money for Frequent Flyer Giving to support United WeCare Employee Relief Fund. The event was held at Jasper's (a yummy restaurant in The Woodlands) and included appetizers and a set three-course menu.
I've written about "Mega Dos" many times in the past, but not everyone has the ability to leave home for several days to travel around with 100+ other frequent flyers. However, many of us can leave home for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon to hang out with like-minded folks on a "Mini Do". This Do (aka "meet up") was almost literally in my backyard, and it was for my airline of choice, so there was no way I was going to miss it. The food was much better than anything I would normally eat on a Saturday afternoon!
But more importantly it was a really good time. Everyone in attendance got to put faces with online screen names, and meet folks from United who had flown in from Chicago to be at the event. There was lots of swapping of travel tips and ideas for shared destinations like Anchorage and San Juan (since both recently had very inexpensive fares from some cities via United). Not all of the attendees were local, but many were from cities in Texas, so you aren't just meeting "random" online friends, but you are meeting people who may actually be on some of your flights in the future.
As is typical at these type of events, raffle tickets are often sold to benefit charity and unique "aviation geek" items are given away to the winners. At this particular event there were old Continental signs, United model airplanes, United passport covers, United and Continental glasses and mugs, drink certificates, and the grand prize was a boarding carpet. That probably sounds like garbage to some, but to some #avgeeks (term used lovingly) they are treasures!
I won a model airplane to add to my collection and a retro Continental coffee mug that will be put to good use.
It was announced at this event that future United MiniDos would be held at alternating cities around the country about 3-4 times per year. They will focus on getting around to some other United hub cities, so keep your eyes and ears open if this is something you would want to attend in the future. If you want to start getting together with others in the miles and points community in person then regularly check the Meet Up Forum on Milepoint and the CommunityBuzz section on Flyertalk (though this particular Mini Do was actually posted in the United forum on Milepoint).
I highly recommend joining in on some "in person" fun at a similar event in the future. Thanks again to everyone who helped put on this United Mini Do event, I know I will be watching for when it returns to the Houston area in the future.
10 Responses to "Network With Others and Have Fun at Mini Dos"
All the DO's are lame. Just another way for bloggers to make money off free information.
Mike, not sure what you are referring to. Dos like this have nothing to do with bloggers (other than some like to attend as we are #avgeeks too). In fact all dos I have attended have always cost me money, not earned me money. They usually earn money for charity, and let those in the miles and points community come together and have a good time.
Hey Mike, maybe you read the Sunday paper and quit being a jerk.
was that a picture of enchiladas with cole slaw on it?
Hi Summer!
Where does one find out about events like this one? I live in Houston and would have definitely attended if I had known about it…I read different blogs from BoardingArea on a daily basis and don't recall seeing anything about this event…
The entree I had was the trout option listed on the menu above. It was delicious!
Bill, I linked the two main places to check for things like this on Flyertalk and Milepoint above. That's where I learned about it and other similar events. I would have posted it myself, but was almost sold out when I bought my ticket. Would love to see you at a future event!
Hey Mommy Points, Will you be at the Austin MegaDo 2.5 next week? Mrs. Perryplatypus is looking forward to her 1st frequent flier meetup to see if others are truly crazy her husband
HI< love your blog. I was in the same position as you and not able to apply for the Carlson US Bank card because I had to beg them last August to give me the Lan and Flexperks cards. and I have 4 hard hits on my good credit report and 778 score. You were going to wait. Have you applied yet; if so results??
PerryPlatypus, sadly we have a conflict with the date so have to miss this year. Bummed as it was a good time last year!
David, I did apply this week and got instant approval. Until this week, I had only had one credit card app since mid-August. -
Bummed I didn't know about this :(. I'll definitely be on the look out for the next one.

....Idiothe (Jim) used to do a couple weekend sales of hosta - growing out liners and also divisions from his garden....he's changing things around this year and is digging divisions out of his garden as he gets requests - in person or by email/phone. Just picked up 4 plants yesterday - Ophir, Royal Flush (pic below), Katsuragawa Beni and Ice Age Trail (he is generous and very reasonable). Jim, probably has 800 cultivars (not all will be big enough to divide.....but you get the idea). If you interested, send me an email thru my MyPage info and I'll get you the details (don't want to post his email or # here). Be sure to include your Email address in the message portion as some of your GW accounts are protected from return emails. If you are outside of MN .....same drill, as Jim will ship. Paul |
Follow-Up Postings:
Paul - When you are in contact with idiothe tell him that some of us here on the forum feel a bit abandoned. Some time ago he started a great project here of choosing 'best' in a variety of categories....and then left us high and dry. I thought perhaps something terrible had happened to him - so I'm relieved to hear that he is selling hostas! Jan |
- Posted by thisismelissa z4a-S Twin Cities MN (My Page) on Mon, Jun 3, 13 at 21:16
I second Paul's notion on Jim's plants. I've always done really well with his divisions. He has 3 nice size plants he's holding for me, if I can ever get up his direction. And I second the notion on his reasonable price and generous divisions. His garden has been established for many years, and by his own admission, he's added very few in recent years, so you get divisions from strongly established plants. Give him a shot! |
I just had to follow up and say that I sent Jim an order. It arrived yesterday. I potted them all up to wait for me to get enough time to get my new beds planned. they are beautiful! Such lovely big divisions. Thank you so much Paul for putting me in touch with him. I plan on going back through his list sometime when I have time to look them all up on the hosta library and place another order. But the best thing was that I was able to get a hosta that I had been wanting for the last couple of years and hadn't been able to find. So I am such a happy girl today! Now I just need to find time to get all these new beds planted. :) |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Thu, Jun 13, 13 at 23:32
Hey, don't exclude the rest of us folks outside MN. My three new plants are from Jim, as it just so happens. How about that.....small world. I had the winning bid on his benefit auction item, H. 'Derriere,' and he sent with it Ice Cream, as well as Heart And Soul. In fine shape, I might add. Pictures are posted on another thread about the new arrivals. |
Exactly Moc, as I had read the original post thinking maybe if it was close this Iowa girl could load her van full of hosta friends and drive up. But then I saw Paul's last line, that Jim would ship. So then I emailed Paul to get the list and was and am still so excited! LOL But like I said, I have so many sitting around in pots right (here and at a friend's) now waiting to be planted, that I thought I should make some sense of the chaos I have created before I get more. :) And I need time to sit and look up photos on the hosta library. Though Jim was a great enabler and gave me lots of suggestions on his favorites, ones that grew well, etc. And it was so fun opening the big box and ooohing and ahhing over each one as I potted them. |
I already mail ordered one, then went to the MN hosta society sale- picked up two more, my sister (read enabler) wants to take a trip down to Venero and I'm going to the Midwest Convention (going to miss nationals in Wisconsin). Dare I email Paul for this list as well? Hmm. |
- Posted by paul_in_mn 4b (My Page) on Fri, Jun 14, 13 at 8:27
Beverly, I'll be away for a couple of days, so if you send a note be patient for a reply. BTW Jim is NW side of the Twin Cities, so if you have time - his gardens are a nice tour as well. Paul |
Yes, Beverly, you need to look at the list. :) I am sure there are hostas on there you will want/need. And Jim is known for his generous divisions and great prices. You won't be disappointed I am sure. And it never hurts to look at a list. |
- Posted by paul_in_mn 4b (My Page) on Fri, Jun 14, 13 at 19:47
Beverly, I rec'd your msg but no email address for me to reply. Get that to me and I'll send on Sunday or Monday when I get back. Paul |

Back in town and sent info to everyone that asked. Paul |
I had the pleasure visiting Jim's garden on Sat. Words can't describe how fabulous it was. He spent two and half hours explaining the families of hostas and how each was related to another one. I learned a ton about the background of hostas. I also purchased some beautiful plants. He is very generous with his time and his prices. His garden is a MUST see. Thanks you again Jim. |

Since I can remember I have had an urge to express myself artistically. As a young student, I was interested in sports, singing and theater. In my years at West Bend High School, I was selected to sing in the school choir, to play trumpet in the school band and to act in the school musical productions. Upon finishing high school I attended Saint Olaf�s College in Northfield, Minnesota for four years. After graduating from college I found a job as a Spanish teacher in my home town. During this time I was able, after school hours, to get involved in what I love, the arts. I was elected president of the theater association for amateurs, "Musical Masquers", in the city of West Bend, Wisconsin; where, in addition to my administrative...

text: In the Epistle of Saint James 2:1, we read, "My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, with respect of persons." In this passage, glory is regarded as an essential attribute of Christ (John, 11, 5); some commentators think that the genitive of quality "of glory" is connected only with "our Lord," but more likely it goes with "our Lord Jesus Christ."New Catholic Dictionary

LOVE God is always love Forever seek the kingdom; Praise the creator Keep giving what you can give Please endure until the end ANGELS Beautiful Heavens Protecting the meek ones earth Watching over us Helping us to cope with life Comforted with hope and trust MUSIC When you find rhythm You find your hearts inner core Celebrate the times Make them better than before Reminisce and dance all night
Some years ago a child was born Early on a Christmas morn And in the sky a star did appear Drawing people from far and near Bethlehem the holy city the angels said Some people were so afraid and filled with dread But still they came to see him and by the star were led To where the little baby Jesus lay his head They brought him gifts in worship and crowned the new born king They thought he was well worth it though not so Herod the king He wanted Jesus dead for good and so he did decree Kill all the little babies that should get rid of he But luckily they missed him, the family had moved on And when they went a searching, the baby he had gone He lived to tell his story of his father's kingdom to come For this Jesus was crucified and on a cross was hung He said forgive them father, they know not what they do And then forgave us for our sins, can this man be true? His family took him from the cross and laid his body down Then wrapped his nail holed hands and feet, the laid him in the ground So when I think of Christmas and of the infant birth I often think of what we did through all the joy and mirth So please enjoy your Christmas but try to spare a thought And think of how we crucified the man who love had brought
Priceless pearl my hidden diamond love's sweet jewel Heaven sent Angelic countenance Beauty so pure Lovely daughter your character delights my devotion forever Heartbeat on screen My unbelief ceased the moment You first squeezed my finger
I wrote this one with a friend in mind; Her growing belly tells what most think the whole story Her age is a cause for shame She is scared And feels so alone Strangers look at her And laugh Pointing and wispers She thinks her only way out is to destroy the thing inside Angels and demons struggle in her young head Fighting for life She goes to church Pro-life people shun her They whisper: "She is just a young child" Against all odds she decided to tell her friends and family She is going to see this through She encounters lots of anger What a little whore she is God seems to not love her She makes an appointment Tears in her eyes she ascends She opens the door to the clinic and climbs the stairs Carrying the weight of her cross A miracle A older women dressed nice with hair as bright as the sun Do not harm this child Take comfort my dear sweet girl I have been where you are I have received their teasing Do not listen to them God himself has blessed you The bulging belly tells a story Your naked hand proves how brave you really are. You've made it this far and you will make it even more. Not every woman out there can do what God has blessed you with. The woman gave a hug and the tears started to pour. Back in the car she took a deep breath. With a hand on her belly she spoke to the little child. " I don't know if your a girl or boy, or even if I will be a good mom" I promise to you I will try to do my best, just please don't turn out like me and be wild!" She started the car and prepared to drive home for the worse She knew this child was not going to be easy to have Inside her was a little life growing bigger each day No matter how hard it was going to be with her faith in God she would find a way.
God Knew Me Before I Was Born! God knew me, before I existed! He was there, before my name was listed! Before I was born, he had a divine plan! He was there, before I reached out my hand! Before I knew who I even was, or my name… His life for mine, way why his son came! Before I could put on my shoes and clothes… He had called me! It was I… That he chose! Before I was old enough to make up my own mind… He was there waiting! So patient and kind! Before I became an adult… I refused to believe! Whatever God offered... I didn't want to receive! Before too long… I had my own family and home. But then family left me... And I was alone! Before God… I came, and cried and repented! The inside of my mind felt confused and tormented! Before I really knew what was actually going on… God reached inside and forgave me of past wrongs! Before the next day was coming about… I found a new love and peace throughout! Before God, I know that he's changed me! I have found a new life for eternity! Won't you come before God and accept him too? You'll never know what he can do for YOU! By Jim Pemberton
The time of year when the joys Rain down form Heavens When the families get together, When the children look up in hope Santa's fill surprise in the socks at night When the snowman appears in gardens There comes a the giggles and chants Colored balls in trees and stars shining Exchanges of greetings nights of prayers We gather to celebrate the coming of Joy Night to celebrate the Holy Jesus Night to celebrate new Life, for its The time of year when joys Rain down from Heaven…
UNSUPPORTED CODE What If… Christmas Never Came??? What if Christmas never happened? What if Christmas never came? Things around here would be different! It wouldn't be the same! What if the baby Jesus was never born in a manger? Mankind would be in serious trouble. We'd all be in danger! If the baby Jesus wasn't born. There would be no nativity. We wouldn't be able to display this during our "festivity." It's almost like this now! It's an "ever increasing business." It seems like nearly everyone wants "Christ out of Christmas!" Why does it seem like Christmas is losing it's true meaning? The very words; "Merry Christmas," seem to be quickly disappearing! Many say; "Happy Holiday." They worry they may "offend." Having a "holiday" without Christ…. Once again! We need to put Jesus Christ back into our CHRISTmas season! He is what Christmas is about! HE is the very reason! May we all take some time to rejoice in our savior's birth. May there be shouts of JOY! From the corners of the earth! Let's not take Christ out of our joyous celebration! We need him so much right now! All over this great nation! May we bring to him a heart of love for everything he's done. As we bring honor to Christ. God's precious son! May we continually offer to him a heart filled with praise! Not only at Christmas time… But all of our days! By Jim Pemberton

like a mother giving birth; with extra emotions stirring, so hard to handle at first, but so worthit as it happens. undying new hope, as a new life opens. grace and blessing with every thought, as strength of new legacy takes over. the fire it has lit, fitted with joy of tears. recovery with healing, inspires new depths of apathy. no more tears of regrets, just the laughter of angels. just seeing tomorrow as a new chance, thanking God for a life saved. sacrifices for a good cause; never being too troubled, or too lost, to go back and thanked who started it all.....!!!
Part of the Plan The fields were cold that long winter night And I just shivered and shook Then came a sound and a brilliance of light So I turned to the sky for a look The memories that's made Of the music that played As the words rained down on earth Of a baby that's born On this very morn Our long promised savior's birth I laid my staff down Hurried into the town To search for this mother and child When I found them I knelt For I truly felt My calling when that baby smiled I'll follow this boy Through heart ache and joy And stand by his side as a man For I know even now That somewhere, some how I play a small part in his plan Mdailey
I look all around and what do I see? Christmas in code, a pure fantasy. A plump happy Santa, a child on his knee, Under the bough of a tall Christmas tree. Stockings and ribbons, merry and bright, Plenty of gifts of varying heights. Snowmen and reindeer, angels and lights, Dreaming of feasting and sleigh rides at night. But friend, don't be taken with this imagery, For Christmas is more than what we can see. True Christmas began in a whole different way, A virgin, a stable, a babe on the hay. And God with a plan, to save men from sin, A Savior, a gift for mankind, sent from Him. A humble beginning, no earthly delights, He broke through the darkness and gave us the Light. So do not be fooled by this fanciful sight, That does not remember God's power that night. He conquered our sin and freed us from death, For Christmas is CHRIST, and His gift is the best.

TIGER TALES - No. 16 Mizzou Softball (29-10, 6-6 SEC) heads to No. 20 Auburn (31-9-1, 6-6 SEC) to continue Southeastern Conference action after a doubleheader sweep of Western Illinois (April 9) with scores of 4-2 and 5-0. The wins pushed head coach Ehren Earleywine past the 500-win barrier (501) for his 11-year head coaching career, in which he is in his eighth season at Mizzou. Earleywine won 146 games at Georgia Tech (2004-06) before returning to his home state to lead the Tigers.
Freshman IF/OF Kelli Schkade stepped into the leadoff role for the first time for Mizzou in the Western Illinois doubleheader (April 9) and did not disappoint, batting 4-for-7 (.571). Her day included a career-best 3-for-4 performance in the Game Two win (5-0), with a double and triple. Senior OF Mackenzie Sykes was also tough to beat at the plate, hitting 4-for-5 (.800), with her dual two-hit games bumping her season total to 10. Sykes also recorded one RBI in both victories, adding to her team-leading total of 39.
Freshman P/OF/1B Casey Stangel followed up a strong performance by recently named SEC Pitcher of the Week Tori Finucane (April 7) in the initial game of the WIU doubleheader with a complete game (7.0 IP) shutout in the Game Two win (5-0). Stangel allowed just three hits, recorded three strikeouts and allowed zero walks for the win (13-5).
The Tigers were powered at Mississippi State (April 4-5) by Finucane, who shut down the Bulldogs with an impressive 16 strikeouts over 14.0 innings of work. The freshman pitcher posted a 2-0 record in her two starts with one run allowed. She powered past her previous career-high of nine strikeouts, which she had accomplished three times this season, for 12 strikeouts in the 6-0 shutout on April 4. Her 12 strikeouts were the most for a Mizzou pitcher since April 19, 2013 (Chelsea Thomas at LSU, 13).
A Mizzou-MSU doubleheader was scheduled on Saturday, April 5, to avoid forecasted inclement weather on Sunday, April 6, and Mizzou yielded the initial game to MSU, 9-3. The Tigers rebounded behind the arm of Finucane, who scattered nine hits to allow the one run of the 8-1. Junior IF Corrin Genovese posted her third 2-for-4 performance of the series, recording three RBI with one run scored.
Genovese was just one of the top performers of Mizzou's trip to Starkville, Miss. Schkade hit her first collegiate home run in the 8-1 victory on April 5, adding to a double and triple during the series (in the first and second games, respectively. Schkade batted 4-for-6 (.667) overall vs. MSU. Junior 3B/C Angela Randazzo and redshirt sophomore OF Taylor Gadbois were also solid at the plate, hitting 5-for-10 (.500) and 5-for-12 (.417), respectively.
Mizzou picked up its first Southeastern Conference series win of the season in impressive fashion, defeating No. 13 Georgia in two out of three games (March 28-30) at University Field. A home run barrage in the third inning, four total, helped the Tigers down the Bulldogs, 8-6, to open the series on March 28. One home run was the difference on March 29, with Sykes blasting a walk-off, three-run shot in the bottom of the seventh for a 6-3 victory.
All good things must come to an end. During her 29-game hitting streak that ended last Sunday, Gadbois batted .485, going 49-for-101, with 27 of her 30 stolen bases recorded during the 29-game stretch. Gadbois had 15 multi-hit games during the streak.
THE OPPOSITION - AUBURN - Auburn (31-9-1, 6-6 SEC) has used an impressive approach at the plate to turn heads around the country thus far in 2014, batting .311 as a team with two batters hitting better than .400. Kasey Cooper (.439) and Branndi Melero (.436) lead the way for AU in both batting average and home runs, with the duo with 11 and 10, respectively.
Melero leads Auburn in RBI with 60, with eight doubles. Morgan Estell is the squad's two-bagger leader with 15 to her credit.
Auburn has taken four of its nine losses at home at Jane B. Moore Field. Seven of AU's nine setbacks have also come against ranked competition.
Two pitchers, Lexi Davis and Marcy Harper, have logged the vast majority of AU's innings in the circle, with the two posting 145.1 and 92.0 innings pitched, respectively. Davis has pitched to a 16-7 record with a 2.31 ERA, while Harper has gone an impressive 14-2 with a 3.12 ERA.

The duo of handymen from Houze Exteriors dive headlong into residential maintenance issues, paring chores from to-do lists so that homeowners don't have to. True jacks-of-all-trade, the pair can tackle a wide array of services to keep homes in shipshape; outside they can clear gutters and indoors they clean whole air-duct systems. Houze Exteriors also keeps fireplaces and chimneys in proper working order, sweeping built-up soot and debris from flumes and waterproofing chimneys for lasting durability.
For 30 years, the home-improvement contractors at Columbia Exteriors have been installing quality windows, doors, roofing, and siding that beautify homes and bolster energy efficiency. The airtight, insulated chambers of new windows trap in escaping heat, and shingled roofing materials keep out the elements. Technicians can also robe exteriors in soffit siding or fascia roof coverings that help prevent damage by covering any gaps that could collect water.
Whenever Doug Hetsch's chimney sweeps head out, they always tote along a bag of toys. On his most memorable job, Hetsch snuck one of them up the flue when the homeowner's child—who'd been watching them work—wasn't looking. When the toy tumbled out minutes later, Hetsch picked it up and said casually, "Yeah, these things fall out of Santa's bag all the time." The little girl nearly hyperventilated. Overwhelmed by the experience, and amazed that chimney sweeps were allowed to get dirt on their faces, she ran after Hetsch as he left, saying she wanted to be a chimney sweep when she grew up.
Hetsch expects this kind of service from his crew, all of whom are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America. A pilot in his spare time, Hetsch trains his team to deliver service with the diligence of an aviator—always well groomed, crisply uniformed, and able to explain complicated terms in plain, direct language. Using a closed-circuit video scanner, teams create a digital image of each chimney's interior to more accurately assess the job. Based on these renderings, they can adjust cleaning methods, as well as recommend services to bring chimneys up to or beyond current building codes. All American Chimney Service works on smokestacks up to 100 years old, ensuring a safe conduit for smoke or the ghosts of logs originally chopped by Teddy Roosevelt.
Not many things are more comforting than the flicker of a fireplace. And a visit from Louisville Fireplace Company makes sure the room stays warm all year round. The company's home-maintenance experts repair and clean fireplace systems, preventing issues such as carbon monoxide leakage and the emission of cartoon flames. Beyond maintenance, the technicians also design and install custom fireplaces. Other areas of expertise include grill and stove maintenance as well as landscaping tailored to clients' visions for their outdoor properties.
Fireplaces bring many comforts into a home, from warmth to the tranquil sounds of a crackling log. Unfortunately, there's a price to pay for this coziness: soot, ash, and Santa's discarded candy wrappers. Ashes Away Chimney Sweeps' team addresses this issue, cleaning out chimneys from top to bottom. While peering into these fireplace holes, they can also remove errant animals, check for damage, and make repairs—a service they have performed since 1980.

CALGARY, Jan. 23, 2014 /CNW/ - With just under one month until the start of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, Premier National Partner of the Canadian Olympic Team, Sport Chek is blitzing the marketplace with its #whatittakes campaign. A fully integrated marketing campaign, #whatittakes celebrates the very best of Canada's high performance athletes and their journey to the podium.
"At Sport Chek, we want to inspire Canadians to live a healthy, active lifestyle and there is no better source of inspiration than the stories of our Canadian Olympic athletes and their journey to the podium," says Frederick Lecoq, VP Marketing of FGL Sports. "With the 2014 Olympic Winter Games just under three weeks away, Canadians are starting to get geared up for Sochi and are looking to get immersed in the storylines of the upcoming Games. This campaign features great behind-the-scenes digital content that we are running on our social channels so Canadians can really get to know what makes these athletes succeed."

Exclusive content showcasing the athletes both at home and while at the Games will be featured. Sport Chek will be utilizing their YouTube channel to drive sales with 'shoppable YouTube links'. A first in Canada, consumers will be able to click through the video they are watching on YouTube to buy products that are featured within the ad. As Canada's largest sporting goods retailer, Sport Chek's ongoing mission is to inspire Canadians to 'find their better'. To reach that goal, Sport Chek has leveraged the greatest sporting stage in the world in combination with the country's top athletes to share their stories in an effort to inspire a nation and to show 'what it takes' to compete at the highest level. Athletes highlighted in the campaign were chosen from a cross section of Olympic winter sports. Selected as a celebration of what it takes to become an Olympian, Sport Chek authentically portrayed the determination and passion that lives within each Olympic athlete.

I checked my local dealers website, and the highest they had was 31,700. I wasn't just pulling a number out of the air. But that was fully loaded with a nav system. Yes, they had a lot of accords cheaper, but it looked to me like the poster spent about as much as you can on a fusion, so I specificly looked for the most someone could spend on an accord.
and no, it wasn't a hybrid -

urnews Posts: 668Actually, dudleyr, we didn't shop for Accords because we figured a loaded one with a V6, moonroof and leather seats would cost around $30,000. Our Fusion has all of the bells and whistles except for navigation and Sirius, which don't interest us. I wouldn't have ordered AWD either, the car just came that way on the lot.
In retrospect, we bought the Fusion too fast. But $27,000 MSRP, before the dealing, was our absolute maximum (paid cash and traded in a 2000, one-owner, Mazda Miata with 7,500 original miles on it. ($8,000 trade-in.)
Given our city driving habits, 95 percent, we should have gone with an I4. The Fusion's 14.8 mpg city is a killer.
Thanks to all who have weighed in on this topic, "How much Accord." Hindsight is always 20-20. The SEL is a nice package though. We especially like the piano black dash, no plood, and the fit and finish is perfect on our car. -

urnews Posts: 668Seven thousand miles???
D&#\!~, I wish that I would have been standing there to buy that from you for 80 bones.
True. 7,500 miles and looked like new. My mother bought the car new in 2000 when she was 81 years old. Drove it to church, the grocery store, the beauty shop. Oil changed every six months. She never had the top down. After she got side-swiped by a semi I took away her driver's license and kept the car for about six months before trading it on the Fusion. It was a sweet machine but a true sports car in every sense. Not a practical car and the smallness of it scared me. The side-swipe accident did $2,000 damage. It had been repaired when we traded it. Kelley Blue Book range on the car was $8,000 to $10,000. I thought the $8,000 was a fair price. Maybe I should have held out for more or offered it in a private sale. Hindsight is 20-20. My wife and I both like the Fusion more than the Miata convertible. -

thegraduate Posts: 9,731I'm not "pro-built-in-nav," and if it seemed that way, I misspoke. I have the portable unit (for around $300) and love the fact that I can use it in unlimited different vehicles. Built-in units cost MUCH more than that, and while often coming with other neat features, the fact that it is only useful in that car limits its "help" factor.
I just wrote about the Accord with Navi because even the Navi-equipped Accord would be less than the $27k our Fusion-buying friend mentioned. Unfortunately, it appears he didn't know about the incentives, or the MPG penalty AWD would beckon. He got a nice car though.
For me, I have a hard time paying for satellite radio, leather, or built-in Navigation (hence the reason my car has none of that). I would, however, love to see the 2008 Accord offer automatic climate control on some cloth-equipped models. It's not a big deal, but an area where I'd like to see a change. -
baggs32 Posts: 3,223Hmm. I actually HATE the current Accord sedan and coupe. I kind of like the '08s though. I'm not ready to drop everything and buy one but they are nicer.
Two things I notices right off the bat. The head and tail lights seem to jut out from the body, on the side, which is one thing I don't really like. Looks sloppy to me and the last gen Camry head lights were like that too.
The other thing is the grille. It appears to be covered in black tape on the mule. I'm guessing the production version will show that there's a three-bar chrome grille under that black tape. At least on the EX anyway. Wonder where that idea came from. :P
One more thing. The profile kind of looks like a BMW 3-series in a way. Low hood, high greenhouse, slightly lower trunk, but without the goofy "Bangle butt". -
rhduke00 Posts: 129Interesting article comparing 25 midsize and large sedans costing less than $21,000.

urnews Posts: 668Very interesting reviews, rhduke00. Thanks for the link. I learned something. It was interesting that the 4-cylinder Fusion finished 4th while the V6 Fusion finished 14th.
As the owner of a 2007 V6 SEL AWD Fusion, I would have to agree with that assessment. We should have ordered an I4 SEL rather than taking what was on the lot. We get horrific in-city gas mileage, 14.8 mpg, and don't need the power of a V6 because 95 percent of our driving is in-city. Hindsight is always 20-20. We bought power we don't need. The same is true for the All-Wheel-Drive. Both are expensive options. Our SEL had a MSRP of $27,105. An I4 SEL would have been a much better deal.
Again, thanks for the link, even though it reinforces our buyer's remorse. -
urnews Posts: 668I just wrote about the Accord with Navi because even the Navi-equipped Accord would be less than the $27k our Fusion-buying friend mentioned. Unfortunately, it appears he didn't know about the incentives, or the MPG penalty AWD would beckon. He got a nice car though.
Actually I did know about the AWD penalty. The original EPA in-city estimate on the window sticker was 19 mpg, which I could live with. Believing that was my first mistake.
Since then, the EPA has revised its estimate for this power train downward to 17 mpg city. I could live with that, too. It's the 14.8 mpg that we are getting in city driving that is killing me.
Bottom line: We should have ordered an SEL with an I4, either manual or automatic, instead of buying what was on the lot. I didn't think the I4 would be powerful enough but, according to numerous posts on various forums, it would have been just fine for our purpose. -
backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787Interesting that of the top 8 cars, there's two Kia Optimas, two Hyundai Sonatas, two Fords (Fusion and Five Hundred), the Aura, and the Accord. I think it reinforces how competitive this class is and that if people bother to look beyond the "automatic" choices of Accord and Camry (and maybe Altima), there's several very good cars and good values in this class.
urnews Posts: 668That's a very good point, Backy. I also found it interesting that the Fusion placed fourth (the I4) and fourteenth (the V6). The reviewer obviously places more value on the four cylinder models. Indeed, we now wish we had ordered an I4 SEL Fusion rather than buying a V6 off the lot.
Your point about the diversity in this mid-size sedan class is well-taken. I really wish we had been able to read this information before we decided. We would have saved several thousand dollars and been better satisfied to boot. -
scape2 Posts: 4,119No you didn't buy the Fusion too fast. Don't let the Honda crowd get to you. You have a very well built vehicle at a good price. The Fusion fit/finish is every bit as good as an Accord or Camry. When I shopped last year the Ford salesperson was so confident he took the Fusion to both a Honda lot and a Camry lot to show me first hand face to face, side by side comparison. I had 4 - 5 sales people walking, poking, opening/shutting doors ect around these cars looking at every detail. I am totally confident the Fusion will easily hold up over 100,000 miles. In fact.
I just got back from a trip to Idaho in my Fusion. I wanted to post this so badly!! I traveled with my whole family. 2 Adults, 2 children, soccer gear/luggage. I averaged 75MPH and got 32.6 MPG!! This is 3MPG better than Ford advertises. I as extremely happy. The car handled like it was on rails through the mountains, and drove with confidence. You made a great choice in buying a Fusion. :shades: -
scape2 Posts: 4,119Thank-you for posting this!! so much! Yet another reason why the Fusion is a great value and a great vehicle. It finishes within points behind the Accord. Some here make it seem as if the Fusion is miles behind the Accord when look yet again! Its not. Take a look at the pricing difference. http://ifcar.net/reviews.comparisons.inexpensivefamilysedans.htm
thegraduate Posts: 9,731You made a great choice in buying a Fusion.
Nobody seems to be saying otherwise. Instead, that they bought the wrong Fusion for his/her needs. 14 MPG when they don't need V6 power or AWD is pretty sad, when the 2.3L Fusion would've sufficed. Out of curiousity, do you realize that it IS ok for people to disagree with you and it not be personal? There always seems to be a chip on your shoulder. Sure, the Fusion will hold up 100,000 miles, as should any car on the market today. Anyone saying otherwise is just trying to push your buttons.
I'm glad you got above EPA numbers on your trip. I just got back in my Accord and did similarly to you! 36 MPG, 75 MPH (through the Ozark Mountains), 100% A/C use. 2 MPG better than EPA with 700 lbs of load in the car. Just proves that with the right driving style, the EPA numbers aren't as bad as people say they are. With better conditions (for both of us) the numbers will only climb (I've seen 40 MPG twice in my 4-cyl, I'll bet you might see 35 if you drove closer to 65 MPH).
Hey, urnews (I hope you read this so I'm making your name big ), you mention your Fusion's sticker, but you never mention what you actually paid for it. Since Accords are going consistently $1,000 and more under invoice, I'd guess your Fusion did too, making your deal better than the $27k you are telling us about. Fill us in!
There's not a bad car in this bunch! Some are just better for some people than others, and it is usually subjective (style, interior finishings, engine sounds, ride/handling compromise). -

The Bubble
By Dale Peck
Unrequited love makes for great pop, but real pathos comes when two lovers are prevented from coming together by extenuating circumstances, be they family (Romeo and Juliet), war (Casablanca), or money (The Heiress). Such stories showcase the perennially disastrous intersection of self-expression and the societal pressure to conform. At the very least, they remind us that a successful relationship is as much a matter of luck and timing as hard work; at their best, they illuminate not just love but its cultural context -- the obligations of family and nationality; the expectations of gender, race, class, faith. All of these forces are at work in Eytan Fox's remarkable new film, The Bubble, easily the most important gay movie since Todd Haynes's Poison and the most challenging political feature since Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing.
It's difficult to summarize the plot of Fox's film without giving away too much. A Levantine triangle initially reminiscent of Reality Bites or Threesome -- two gay men and a straight woman sharing an apartment in Tel Aviv -- is quickly complicated when one of the men moves his new boyfriend in. Yelli (Alon Friedmann) and Lulu (Daniela Wircer), the roommates, are hardly stock characters, but it is the relationship between Noam (Ohad Knoller) and Ashraf (Yousef Sweid) that takes center stage. Noam is a music-store clerk who attempts to steer his shallow clientele away from Britney and toward Bright Eyes. Ashraf is a Palestinian who first locked eyes with Noam while the latter was fulfilling his army reserve duty at a border checkpoint. The political exigencies of a relationship between an undocumented Palestinian and a gay Israeli inhabiting the so-called bubble of liberal young Tel Aviv could have turned into the sort of fairy tale Forster wrote in Maurice or succumbed to the polemical badgering that mars the work of filmmakers such as John Sayles and Ken Loach. But Fox gets it just right here, sacrificing neither the humanity of his characters nor the horrific reality of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The film goes to great lengths to show an Israeli youth culture that is as well-intentionedly naive as any American recipient of MoveOn.org's mass e-mailings. And though the jarring juxtaposition of Pop Idol parties and suicide bombings, peace raves and drive-bys in the occupied territories would seem ludicrous in virtually any other setting, it feels appropriate here, a reflection of the divided reality for many young people in contemporary Israel, where the Western desire to enjoy the pleasures and pursuits of prosperity exists in opposition to ancient hatreds and their terrifyingly modern methods of expression. Like Cabaret, its closest cinematic parallel, The Bubble refuses to offer answers to the problems it depicts. But, as Chekhov wrote, art must draw a distinction between 'answering the question and formulating it correctly.' Cabaret was made nearly three decades after World War II; that Fox has managed to make a film whose levelheaded gaze directly contradicts inflammatory current events seems almost miraculous.

Immunomedics In Collaboration With Algeta To Evaluate Potential Of Epratuzumab Conjugated To Alpha-Emitter Thorium-227
MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., Jan. 28, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immunomedics, Inc. (Nasdaq:IMMU), a biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on the development of monoclonal antibody-based products for the targeted treatment of cancer, autoimmune and other serious diseases, today announced an agreement with Algeta ASA (OSE:ALGETA) for the development of Immunomedics' humanized anti-CD22 antibody, epratuzumab, conjugated with Algeta's proprietary thorium-227 alpha-pharmaceutical payload.
Epratuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD22 receptor on the surface of B cells. Epratuzumab has been evaluated for the treatment of a variety of hematological cancers and for autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
Under the terms of this agreement, Immunomedics will provide clinical-grade antibody to Algeta, which has rights to evaluate the potential of a Targeted Thorium Conjugate (TTC), linking thorium-227 to epratuzumab, for the treatment of cancer. Algeta will fund all preclinical and clinical development costs up to the end of Phase I testing. Upon successful completion of Phase I testing, the parties shall negotiate terms for a license at Algeta's request according to certain parameters now agreed between the companies. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but include an upfront payment from Algeta to Immunomedics, an antibody delivery milestone and payments for cGMP antibody manufacture.
Thomas Ramdahl, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Algeta, said: "This collaboration brings together Algeta, the global leader in alpha-pharmaceuticals and Immunomedics, a pioneer in antibody products and technologies. A TTC based on a well-validated antibody such as epratuzumab is an exciting prospect as we work to achieve our goal of generating a clinical candidate from the TTC platform in 2014." "We are pleased that soon after the full oncology rights for epratuzumab have been returned to us, we are able to complete this agreement with Algeta," commented Cynthia L. Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Immunomedics. "This agreement is part of our overall strategy for the out-licensing of epratuzumab in oncology, for which we still retain the rights to the unconjugated and non-alpha-emitter-conjugated antibody," Ms. Sullivan continued.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

About a month ago I brewed up an extract kit for a double IPA. Long story short I allowed the initial two days to ferment WAY too hot, and it in turn become a banana bomb. Needless to say, I considered it a lost cause, thus open to every possible experiment I would like to try, and experiment I did. Well, I thought that my OG of 1.074 was entirely too low, so I decided to jack it up a tad by dropping in an additional pound of corn sugar, so I boiled up a pound in a cup of water, cooled it, and pitched it in gently. I figured that if the yeast got active again they would clear up some of the off flavors that the high fermentation temps produced. I think it worked. I busted open the fermenter today to check the FG, and it was nice and low, sitting at about 1.014. The sample I tried looked good, and smelled less like banana, but more like a nice mellow Belgian Tripel. What surprised me most is that it tastes almost exactly like Green Flash Le' Freak, which is a new experimental IPA/Belgian Tripel hybrid they have put out. And, it was strong. Very strong. Deliciously strong. I am as so far quite pleased, but I will find out in a month or so after I secondary it for a few weeks than carbonate it. Sometimes fortune smiles on the foolish! EDITED: The FG was 1.074, not 1.74. That would be something to behold, for sure!
I just love those happy accidents. Which yeast did ya use? What temps?
I hope you mean 1.074. 1.74 gives you an approximate ABV of 2015.4%
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication. - Friedrich Nietzsche
Eeeewww! I can't believe it survived that! Was it active fermentation or 2 days at lag-phase? Maybe you discovered a little rescue trick with the timely application of the corn-sugar!?

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I bought this Philips PET741B portable DVD player to watch movies in the car during my downtime when I'm working as a limo driver. I had a full-sized Philips DVD player once before which was very reliable, and this Philips portable DVD player has proven equally reliable in the 10 months that I've owned it.It's a fairly versatile player for the price, playing regular DVDs as well as DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW and VCD and SVCD discs. You can also listen to music (including MP3 songs) on CD or CD-RW discs, and playback JPEG still images, although I have not tried those features myself. The viewing area is 7" and in widescreen format. I've found the picture while watching movies to have good color with clear images. There is a button on the lower portion of the player to adjust the brightness to one of 3 levels: standard, dim or bright. A large circular button on the lower right corner of the player allows you to navigate menus on the DVD, as well as pause and restart play. Sound is fairly good considering the small size of the speakers, although at times I wish I could make it a bit louder.The Philips PET741B is ready to go out of the box with an AC adapter, car cigarette lighter adapter and A/V cable for connection to a TV included. All in all this is a good portable DVD player for anyone on a budget.
Amount Paid (US$): 79.88
