Review by
newby from Charleston, SC
Durability: This unit replaced a Kenwood KDC-MP238 originally installed in my 20' Stingray bow rider. To 'weatherize' that unit, the only steps the OEM took was to place it behind a flip down marine face plate cover (not even a good one, definitely not water tight) and cover the top of the head unit with a plastic film. After 4 years of bouncing around and being exposed to salt air AND inadvertent water splashing on the face (with and without face plate in place) I can report no mechanical or electrical failures and surprisingly no corrosion. The old unit was only replaced to add features and is currently still in service in my daily driver/beater vehicle. Unless Kenwood has drastically changed materials or processes I expect this new unit to perform similarly. Why I chose this unit: The main reason I stuck with Kenwood for the replacement stereo was ease of installation (it seems most/all kenwoods use the same harness) and compatibility with the marine remote controls I already had installed. Inputs and Features: The main features that drew me to this unit vs other Kenwood offerings were: Pandora/Android compatibility, HD radio BUILT IN, better EQ, 3 RCA outs, blue tooth, rear usb and 3.5mm jack. The KDC BT952HD did all of this for the cheapest price. It really is a jack of all trades as far as inputs. Other: The rotary volume control is much improved over my previous unit. LCD color selection is nice (I choose white for maximum visibility in bright sunlight). The CD player is able to cope fairly well with mild chop. If you install in a car or different boat (stingrays are known to ride rough... flat bottom = speed) you will be hard pressed to get this thing to skip. I have this unit paired with one of the Rockford Fosgate 5ch 1000 watt class D amps (P1000X5D) and the unit delivers very clean sound. - - - THE BAD - - - -I could do without the flip down screen for CD access. Feels cheap. -Audio setup menus are cryptic and cumbersome at BEST -Blue tooth setup more hassle then it should be -Re-Pairing with a stored device is finicky and unreliable (Galaxy S3) -EQ is good but DSP and speaker size settings are rather useless -Generic blue tooth connectivity vs. pandora linking is rather goofy and feels like it was added on after the fact (see BOTTOM LINE) -LCD graphics are cheesy -ALL settings are stored in volatile memory... ie if you lose battery power, ALL settings are lost. This wouldn't be a huge deal if it didn't take 20 minutes to re-input all of the EQ and crossover settings. This is a bigger deal for me as I like to disconnect my batteries when the boat is not in use. - - - BOTTOM LINE - - - This is a well constructed unit that has an expansive feature set, high quality pre-amp signal, ability to connect to EVERY device you may come across and does all of this for a fraction of the cost compared to competing brands. HOWEVER, like every Kenwood unit I've owned (this is my 4th) it simply doesn't live up to the hype. Like all Kenwood's, the features are there but do not work as you would expect. The interface lacks polish and feels incomplete. A word of advice: if you buy a Kenwood, do not expect it to do anything that requires an add on module. They always suck. Every time I buy a head unit, I look at the other brands. In most cases, I would rather have the other brands but ultimately I end up settling for Kenwood because of the price. That cost savings is always at the expense of the user interface. That is the only compromise I'm ultimately willing to stomach as I refuse to listen to crap and at least Kenwood always delivers on hardware and sound quality... Ultimately, if you want the most bang for your buck, this is a winner. If you want a rewarding user experience and slick interface, look elsewhere.

I got this pencil from my gf and it is freaking awesome. She was complaining
about how cruddy my handwriting was from using those fat dr.grip mechanical
pencils so she gave this to me and I have been using it ever since. It is pure
awesomeness :D

Verified Purchase
I like the way the pencil is compatible for those of you who are in high school
and your teachers speak very fast in the way you could just shake it. The grip
is still okay, but if you push too hard on it, you could get the imprint on
your fingers. :P Overall, the pencil itself is OK, the grip is kinda annoying

Verified Purchase
I bought two of these for my non-repro blue leads, For the price they are
excellent and perform flawlessly for about a year now. My only complaint is
that UNI is discontinuing the red, green, blue and non-repro blue leads. I can
get them in 0.7 mm leads but that is too wide a line.

I have had this pencil for a while now and have learned a few tricks to it, like
some the reviews above state the grip is pretty crappy and in my opinion it
hurts peoples fingers pretty badly. So if you have a pilot Color Eno just
switch the grip and it makes it a lot better.

Got this as a gift.
Got this as a gift.
At first i had a hard time taking the cap off. The plastic blue part on the cap came off and went back on fairly easy so i didnt break it, whew. But it took me a while to get it off so i could refill the lead. The shaker okay but i prefer the dr. grip shakers, they use less effort to shake. The grip is rubber but its still hard, not as soft as the dr. grips. its an okay pencil but isnt comfortable for me to write with for long periods. |

I first used this pencil...
Verified Purchase
I first used this pencil a couple of years ago when my uncle gave me one from
Japan. I liked the pencil instantly and was afraid to use it at school because I
was scared of losing it. I think this pencil is best suited for people who like
thin mechanical pencils and do not need a cushy grip. While the grip is not the
best ever made, it is comfortable enough and can be used for extensive periods
of time. I personally like the spring near the eraser of the pencil because it
feels like it gives a powerful push to the lead every single time its pushed
down on. And this was before I found out what the spring in the middle of the
pencil was for! The shaking ability made possible by that middle spring comes in
handy especially when you're busy jotting down thoughts and are too busy to
reposition your hand to advance the lead.

Found this pencil laying...
Found this pencil laying around my house one day from a gift I received a while
ago, and decided to try it out. Its not bad, but compared to many of the higher
end class of pencils I would, its pretty average. The grip feels quite slippery,
and since I'm used to writing at the very bottom of the pencil, near the lead
almost, the grip seemed a bit useless. As I mentioned before, it was very
slippery, and hard to write with as a result. Perhaps that was just my palm
sweat building up over time, but it still was very difficult to use. When you
use the eraser too much, it gets jammed, and the only way to put in lead is to
screw the cap off, and put it in the tube that it normally gets put in. A little
time consuming, but at least it works. For 3 bucks not a bad deal, and it won't
really jam, but still not the greatest.

Great pencil and lasts...
Great pencil and lasts for a long time. I've had mine for almost three years and
it still hasn't broke yet. This color is actually a bit darker then in the
The only thing I don't like about it is whenever I move the pencil, it would make noise. __ |

My guess is it will be yrs before we go much farther. No hurry.
Let me offer this to your budget,- Save 80% on your fuel cost!
We cruise our 41' sailboat on the East US Coast and enjoy sailing, but like many we take short days of travel and motor much of the way in the ICW. Compare these two budgets:
Cruiser A- Travels 1,000 miles on the ICW at 6 miles/gallon, therefore using 167 gallons at $3.80/gal at a total of $635 to complete the trip in two weeks from the Chesapeake to Florida. These very typical cruisers travel about seventy miles per day and their fuel cost is $318/week
Cruiser B- Travels 1,000 miles on the ICW at 6 miles/gallon, therefore using 167 gallons at $3.80/gal at a total of $635 to complete the trip in ten weeks from the Chesapeake to Florida. These less typical cruisers average about fourteen miles per day and their fuel cost is $64/week
Many east coast cruisers move north and south with the season, but fail to realize that the speed required to match the changing angle of incidence of the sun is less than ten miles per day. They rush to keep their boat unused at one location for six months and then rush to keep the boat someplace else for six months. When they remain static at these marinas or mooring fields at their destinations, they are also paying higher dock fees. We anchor out most the time and enjoy about forty ports from Maine to the Bahamas. We find that it is much more economical to not be destination bound, but to enjoy all your locations during continual cruising.
Some might readily see the flawed logic and point out that Crusier B is spending his $64/week for many more weeks, but cruiser A is spending far more than $64/week with marina fees during this same time. Take care and joy, Aythya crew

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Forrest!
Facts about Forrest
- Breed: American Bulldog/Hound (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Forrest's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Forrest (courtesy listing) is a sweet boy that was saved from death in the NYC ACC shelter system. Forrest is a one year old, 55 lb stunner. He is brown and white and has gold eyes. If I had to guess, I'd say he was American Bulldog and some type of hound. He is 100% housebroken, crate trained (he can crate all day while you work without a problem!) and is starting to learn his basic obedience. He loves people and dogs and ignores cats. He would love a home where the owners would continue his obedience training as he has a very puppy-like demeanor. He loves to play and cuddle and is a good learner. As much as he likes to play, he also enjoys chilling out with his people on the sofa or his dog bed. Forrest is really good in the car and walks well on a leash, but can pull if he sees something interesting. He is easily redirected, because he desperately wants to please you.
Forrest would love a home with another dog (or several) to play with. He can sometimes overwealm smaller dogs with his exuberant play style, but if they tell him to back off, he will. Dogs his size really love to play with him, including his buddy, a dog selective alpha-female. He exudes friendliness that most dogs can see a mile off. He would probably do best in a home without small kids at least until he gets his obedience training down. He is a big goofball and may knock them over! As his training continues, Forrest will be one of those dogs that all of your friends will say "I want a dog just like him!" Please come meet this happy-go-lucky dude today!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Forrest, a Hillsborough American Bulldog/Hound (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Bulldog/Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Hillsborough, or seeking a American Bulldog/Hound (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Hillsborough.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hillsborough already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hillsborough breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Bulldog/Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with American Bulldog/Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hillsborough paves the way for another one to be saved.

Since I purchased this on sale, I didn't expect much. I was pleasantly surprised. I had hoped it would be a little heavier knit but it's perfect for summer/fall wear. Not heavy enough for winter, however.

Emporio Armani and Reebok have just added to their EA7 line with the Zigpump. These shoes don't have the dressy and slightly luxurious look from its predecessors. Instead, the shoe has a one-tone white/silver color scheme with patented Reebok zig-zag soles. While the design does look weird, the pattern is, according to freshnessmag, supposed to help "absorb and reclaim impact energies when the wearers' feet hit the ground."
The Emporio Armani x Reebok EA7 Zigpumps is part of the collaborative brand's spring/summer 2011 collection.

That is what I now believe it to be. It was sold to me as Ang. firthii. It clearly isn't firthii, not even close. If anyone thinks it isn't erectum, please say something!
By the way...for any newbies or people that don't know... This plant came from Carolina Orchids, run by "Dr" Tom Nasser. I first heard of his reputation for selling plants with the wrong tags/names back in 2003 on this very forum. I figured I would try one order and see what would happen. He charged outrageous prices for everything and so far, every single plant i got from him has bloomed out different than advertised. He has been committing these frauds for many years and is not to be trusted. He should be jailed in my opinion. So if you ever find yourself tempted by his "list", keep in mind that it is all a ruse and he is a criminal. |

Thanks for the warning and posting this - looks like a pretty interesting plant nonetheless. Any fragrance? |
Beautiful ang, none the less! You may be correct that it's erectum, although yours seems more green and less white. Makes me think of cultriforme as a possibility. I tried one order of two small plants almost two years ago from this individual...which turned out to be a horribly unpleasant experience when I challenged what he sent me. (I could fill your ear!!) Fortunately I was able to get a refund after I returned his plants. -Bruce |
Isn't that illegal though? False advertising is here I believe. Maybe lodge a complaint. Although I have to say I love the plant. |
Interesting Mr. Breeze - I too have purchased many plants from Tom Nasser and have yet to get one misnamed. Each and everyone has bloomed true to name. Yes, his plants are higher priced than say Oak Hill but the divisions are much bigger and bloom next cycle or have been previously bloomed. I've gotten some outstanding paphs, phrags, catts, epis, lycaste, bulbos and what I call odds and ends from him. I haven't ventured into the ang world with him but angs aren't my cup of tea. I'm sorry your experience was bad but he certainly has helped me make decisions on which cultivar would be best for my situation, and sometimes his recommendation actually saved me money. Tom Nasser doesn't just play a doctor on TV but actually is one as is his wife Shan. For anyone wanting to peruse his list, I've included his website but upon Mr. B's recommendation I would steer away from the angs. Brooke |
Here is a link that might be useful: Carolina Orchids
This is quite a tricky problem isn't it. You don't want to complain as you want to maintain a good relationship, though in this case you probably weren't that bothered. Here in Brazil the law is not as good as in USA or UK, but I find that misnomers are generally "in good faith" rather than from any attempt to defraud. Hardly anyone here has any botanical training (myself included) so mistakes are fairly frequent. It's for that reason I wouldn't recommend anyone importing from here though. |
In my book, the true measure of a business or service is not determined before money changes hands. Any businessperson will be more than eager to make a sale, and be most helpful. Where the "wheat is separated from the chaff," so to speak, is when the humility and congeniality of the businessperson is called upon when a customer is dissatisfied. -Bruce |
The thing is, his plants were great. They were bigger than average and two or three of them were either in bloom or had spikes. They were probably even worth the price. But...I already had three bilobas and didn't need another one, especially since I paid extra for Aerangis laurentii. As a collector and hopefully a breeder one day, it is important to me to get reliably named plants. It is exciting to thing that I've found a source for a plant that is not available anywhere else. And I questioned him at length over the phone on more than one occasion. I put his title in quotes because, if he's educated enough to get a doctorate degree in something, he should be smart enough to label his plants properly or at the VERY least, make it clear that there is some question about the identity. Nobody else in the country advertises some of the plants he claims to have. If he was advertising them as what they really are, nobody would buy them. So since he's a Dr., I can only assume he knows what he has and he is pulling this crap on purpose. Luring collectors of Angs and Bulbos and other elusive types and then pulling the ol' switcheroo on the over-priced plants. Everything about the ordering process reeks of deceit as well. The way I see it, he's one of two things: an idiot, or a cheat. I would not buy a plant from him unless you see it in person first. Buyer beware. |
I'm sorry your experience was bad and you got misnamed plants but I too have a list of vendors from whom I received incorrect plants. Your rant against him could have been less venomous and just stated the truth. It reminded me of a former member who ranted against Hauserman whenever the chance arose. And she brought the opportunity up every time a fly appeared on one of her plants. I want to hear other peoples experiences with vendors be it Dr. Nasser or Hoosier Orchids or Hauserman or any other vendor out there. I am more apt to believe the bad press when it is done is a civil manner, stating the facts without personal insults thrown around. I guess I want to live in an idealistic world where I am presented with the facts and I can make up my own mind rather than reading something vitriolic on a faceless forum. It is raining here so I am in a good mood today - aren't you glad? Brooke |
It's situations like this when I really miss OGRES. Sure, it had its weaknesses...like, when disgruntled customers posted bad reviews before first trying to work out a satisfactory resolution with the nursery. This slanted reviews occasionally, and brought legal issues against OGRES from nursery owners who felt unjustly condemned. But a "central clearinghouse" -- so to speak -- has tremendous value, especially in an industry where 90% of the business is conducted over the internet or by phone. Other retail operations are rated and reviewed on the web, so why not nurseries? The review processs has largely cleaned up unsavory types on eBay, for example, as long as you stick with vendors with a large number of auctions to their credit. The reason why orchid customers need an extra level of protection is that evaluations of plants are generally subjective, and depend upon the judgments placed on such by the seller. Photos help, but don't always tell the whole story. This is vastly different than purchasing electronics, for example, when the quality should be identical for factory-sealed units. Although my situation was different, in context with MrB's experience it becomes more relevant. I also know of one other individual with an unsatisfactory experience...and I've barely discussed this nursery with others a handful of times. There must be others. Mr. Nasser freely throws his title around as if it lends credence to his knowledge of orchids. It should be pointed out, however, that his degree has nothing whatsoever to do with botany. As such, even this seemingly minor detail is misleading. Discipline to earn an advanced degree, perhaps, but nothing more. MrB -- I know you won't be able to recover all of your costs, but there's a respectable market for angs on eBay, especially well-grown specimens that are bloomers. Bilobas are pretty common since they are available wholesale from Oak Hill, but if yours are nice, perhaps they'd be worth $25 apiece. -Bruce |
I only post a rant about him when one of the overpriced plants I got blooms out to be something ...else. I believe this is the third, maybe fourth, in a row. But you're right, Brooke. I left out one possibility in my last sentence. He is either an idiot, a cheater, ...or... he is just innocently making the same mistake over and over again with multiple customers over many years. Knowing his reputation beforehand, I even added quite a bit of extra money as incentive not to cheat me. It didn't work. What baffles me, is that he would make a ton of money and have lots of repeat customers, me included, if he would just label his @#$%^& plants properly. |

0Aug 10, '09 by NICU Nicrayne215- i am taking my nclex next week (and i am freaking out!), and have a job interview tomorrow. looking for jobs is hard right now because of the economy, but hopefully it will be straightened out before you graduate. just so you know, you are in an asn-bsn program at jeff so when someone says asns won't get hired, remind them that the program is both. you are seamlessly enrolled into the bsn and believe it or not it does make a difference.

You should have a senior mentor- and I know a lot of those guys too. Utilize them- that is what they are there for. If your mentor doesn't do the best job, you can contact me. I also have tons of study guides and things like that I can send you.
The best piece of advice I can give you is- nursing school is hard. Expect it. A lot of people think it is an "easy" way to get into the medical field because most programs are 2 years and that is simply not so. In those 2 years, you will learn tons of information and will come out thinking completely different. I went in with no medical background AT ALL and even if I had, nursing is not the same as being an aide or a tech. They will tell you that on the very first day.
Shoot me an email. I'd be happy to help you out, future nurse! -
0Aug 27, '09 by rntobe2009I'm so excited! Thanks! and please believe me i will be contacting u verrrrrrrrry soon! lol classes start next week and i just checked pulse and saw that we have some power points and reading already!

0May 11, '12 by sbernardQuote from rntobe2009hi im new to this post i recently began looking into thomas jefferson university i currently hold a undergrad degree but with a low 2.4 gpa. i was wondering what you guys thought about my odds of getting into thomas jeffersonHi, I was just accepted to Thomas Jefferson University's ASN-BSN program for the Fall of 2009 . I'm just looking to communicate with others who have also been accepted.
0May 11, '12 by jocy_anneHi sbernard! If you have a Bachelor's degree in another field already and are looking at Jefferson, you would probably want to consider the FACT program or the APW program. This thread is pretty old, plus it's a thread for those looking to transition from an ASN degree. You should visit this page and scroll through to find more recent Jefferson posts: PA Nursing Programs for Nurses | Nursing Students. I will be starting the APW program in September. Honestly, if there's any way that you could bring up your GPA, it would be helpful. I'm pretty sure they have a 3.0 minimum requirement for their accelerated FACT and APW programs. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions about Jefferson!

Even when they are ugly, they are pretty!
Of course, you have to have the Show Offs, that thumb their nose at Fall, at least for today...As of this morning, Oct. 12, with the thermometer saying 36 degrees... Sum of All isn't buying into Fall yet...In fact, he's showing off his pristine leaves to poor Kossa Regal. And, his step brother Sum and Substance has taken to collecting leaves but not succumbing to turning brown himeself...yet. And, then of course, you have the REAL holdouts that look about as good now as they did in the peak Spring season. Wonder what their beauty secret is??? Pauls Glory from just this morning strutting his stuff... And can't forget June! She never saw a Fall she didn't thrive in... And then there is Jimmy Crack Corn. He's the last to show up in the Spring...I thought he was a gon'er..and one of the last to leave in the Fall. Bless his little pea pickin' heart! Which are your Halloween Hostas...those that plan on sticking around until we change the clocks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You know, it is so cool, that when I look at your photos, Marsha, I feel like you've been strolling through my hosta--except for so many oak leaves! My back-yard leaves are mostly from "Ash", "Moraine Locust", "Norway Maple", "Redbuds", and one "Pin Oak" and some from 3 "Silver Maples" next door. I am praying that my Ash trees will be spared the latest tree blight/ beetle infestation but unless they come up with something quickly, it would be, indeed only by a super-natural act or Divine intervention that they will be spared!!! That will be a drastic altering of my hosta-situations! I can hardly imagine it--and I don't want to either! janice I'm sorry--I do seem to be "wandering" in my thoughts today, it must be the sudden change in temperature--adds to the "brain freeze" I can experience on occasion--right "Debbie", er "Brenda"? :o) |
I think the Holloween orange is great. Maybe someday they'll come out with a hosta that is actually that color. Megaul some of your babies look absolutely virginal. Are you sure they aren't pictures from spring?!! Looking at you June, I think you must water from below. I'm sure that's the best way, but not possible for me. June, and other blues in particular get hard water deposits by the middle of the summer. Anyway, beautiful plants, especially this late in the year. |
Think I saw Debbie and Brenda strolling thru the leaves in my back yard this morning! LOL |
lol---we all have some form of "split-personalites" don't we? I'm sure if I ever met you, "Brenda", it would never be a problem remembering "who" you are! And, even now, as the "personality" behind the name is coming out, I think it's really working! I'm remembering better! Another "case" for this forum--we get to know one another so much better! Brenda, Brenda, brenda, BRENDA, Brinda, brynda, Bernda, Brande, oh nooo, janice BTW--nice "oranges", McT! Hmm--wonder if we can "carve" an orange instead |
I must have missed something - who are Brenda and Debbie? By the way, is it normal to have to log in every time you want to respond to something? McT |
Debbieis my alter-ego....Janice can't remember my name is Denise. Not sure about Brenda. |
Out checkin' out the pumpkin, er, hosta, patch this morning. A few don't seem to know it's Fall, yet! YEAH!! |
- Posted by hosta_freak zone6NC (My Page) on Thu, Oct 19, 06 at 14:43
I have just a few who don't know it's fall,yet,but here is a pic taken today of the dwindling hosta garden! Phil |
Your woods are beautiful Phil. Don't you love the way the golds pop out at you and make the whole garden so wonderful? I've been pretty happy with having expanded my hostas into parts of the garden I always thought of as too sunny. Now it's all looking like fall. |
WOW, now that is beautiful! What gorgeous landscaping and property! |

President Obama today proposed $100 million in spending to map the human brain in hopes of unlocking "this enormous mystery" and curing diseases and traumatic injuries.
"As humans, we can identify galaxies light years away, we can studies particles smaller than an atom, but we still haven't unlocked the mystery of the 3 pounds of matter that sits between our ears," the president said as he announced the new BRAIN Initiative in the East Room of the White House.
The president said the program, which he first proposed in his State of the Union address, could create jobs and potentially lead to cures for diseases such Parkinson's, Alzheimer's or autism.
"We can't afford to miss these opportunities while the rest of the world races ahead," Obama warned. "We have to seize them. I don't want the next job-creating discoveries to happen in China or India or Germany. I want them to happen right here, in the United States of America. And that's part of what this BRAIN initiative's about."
Obama cautioned that none of this will be easy. "If it was, we'd already know everything there was about how the brain works and presumably, my life would be simpler here," he said to laughter.
"It would – could explain all kinds of things that go on in Washington, and we could prescribe something. So it won't be easy, but think about what we could do once we do crack this code."
The president is asking Congress for the initial $100 million investment in his FY14 budget to support research at the National Institutes of Health, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the National Science Foundation. The federal research agencies will also partner with private companies and foundations.

Johor Premium Outlets (JPO) have become a big draw for both local and foreign shoppers.
"The price of goods here is cheap compared to other shopping places in Malaysia," said Singaporean Sachin Patel, who brought his family to the mall on Christmas Day.
He added that the outlet had received considerable media coverage in Singapore since opening on 11 December.
Another Singaporean, M. Vinod, who was interviewed by Star Property, said he visited the Premium Outlet in Johor instead of attending house parties in Singapore on Christmas Day.
"My friends had invited me to (their) homes on Christmas, but instead I came here first to find out the brands offered at JPO," he said. "Hopefully I can made it up to them by buying a few chocolates as they have a sweet tooth."
With the success of JPO, earlier reports said that Genting Plantation Bhd and US-based Simon Property Group, which jointly developed JPO, are working to set up a second Premium Outlet in Malaysia.
"We will be looking for future sites but that is subject to the outcome of feasibility studies. We will announce the details in due course," said Jean Marie, General Manager of Genting Simon Sdn Bhd.

Senior portraits
Engstrom-Garner explores animal-human connection; Poole exhibit a tribute to her mom
- What: Senior Art Exhibit by Kaegan Engstrom-Garner and Jillian Poole
- Where: Foyer Gallery of the Juanita Harvey Art Gallery in the Lamar D. Fain College of Fine Arts, Nocona and Louis Rodriguez Drive, Midwestern State University
- When: The opening reception is from 6 to 8 p.m. today. Following the opening, the exhibit may be viewed from 9 a.m. to noon and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. while classes are in session.
- Admission: Free
- Information: 397-4264
Midwestern State University graduating seniors Kaegan Engstrom-Garner and Jillian Poole will introduce their senior exhibits to complete requirements for bachelor of fine arts degrees.
Their exhibits will open with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. today in the Foyer Gallery of the Juanita Harvey Art Gallery.
Engstrom-Garner, a Dallas native who majored in photography and minored in sculpture, will include 18 pieces in her show that employs both mediums, including painting.
A lifelong nature lover, Engstrom-Garner paints images of animals on 14 photographic portraits of family and friends. She paints the animals in acrylic directly onto the photographs and then scans those mixed-media images and prints them in black and white.
For her mixed-media work, she chose people who were important to her and animals such as an eagle, wolf, deer, fox, lynx, zebra and hawk that corresponded with each person.
"With some people, I knew right away what animal they were and with others (after reading Ted Andrew's book "Animal Speak") I realized certain things in the book reminded me of my friends."
She said: "The animal is really the spirit of the animal. The human is the true person as they are.
"My work had always had something to do with nature, and in the beginning of my BFA, I did plants and growth and spiritual growth. This idea just popped in my head one day. I was playing around with different ideas, and I thought I would just paint right on their face, and I really liked it.
"I feel like the two images merge better in black and white," she said, "because you don't get distracted by the different colors of the paint, which weren't the same as the colors of the photograph."
The original photographs were printed on a gloss satin paper. She said that when she painted the animal form onto the human image, it left an interesting texture.
"It was fun to play with the textures and really make them stand out in the photograph."
The other four artworks in her show are sculptures, so to speak. They include life-size masks of four people and their corresponding animals.
To do the work, she created a life cast of her subject's face using materials that dentists use to make replicas of teeth. She then created a corresponding animal mask.
She hangs both masks on a stand, with the animal mask slightly in front of the human mask. Engstrom-Garner got the idea from a recent trip to Alaska, where she discovered some amazing tribal art.
Following graduation, the artist will return to Dallas and hopes to study psychology on the master's degree level.
Poole was born in Raleigh, N.C., and moved to Wichita Falls in 2008 to attend MSU. She is a printmaking major with a minor in ceramics and photography.
Poole's show consists of 15 prints. Eleven were printed on paper, and four images of her mother, Susan Joy Poole, were printed on fabric.
"Most of them are 8 inch by 10 inch to 11 inches by 14 inches," she said, "and don't vary much more than that. My fabric prints are a little larger."
The exhibit focuses on Jillian's images depicting her mother and the multiple sclerosis that her mother contracted more than 20 years ago that took her life in July.
The portraits of her mother range from age 5 to a photograph Jillian took of her shortly before her passing. The portraits are printed on fabrics her mother made.
The remaining 11 prints depict the anatomy — of her mother and the damage the disease did to her — and also some of the emotions her mother and the artist felt over the course of the disease.
"It goes back to when I was 12 and she was first diagnosed. We were extremely close."
Poole started the project four semesters ago.
"I knew this is what I wanted to do. I had passion and knowledge about it. I wanted to be able to sort out some of the anger I had for the disease and rid the sadness out of me through something (art) I loved."
Poole completed the last piece of the exhibit in late November. Her mother had a copy of all of the artwork except for the newer pieces.
The final 11 images are framed in masterpiece-like frames to suggest the influence of Michelangelo.
"I've always really found anatomy fascinating. I took a lot of science and anatomy classes and found the human body exciting. Studying art history, I discovered Michelangelo's drawings of the human body. I loved that and what I would call a vintage anatomy feel, and I wanted to pull that into my art."
Jillian's father and members of her family will attend her senior show. After graduation, she plans to work on her master's degree in printmaking at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
The Senior Art Exhibit may be viewed through Jan. 11.

Summary (Masterpieces of World Literature, Critical Edition)
Alexandre Dumas, père, was, in his amazing productivity, larger than life, like many of his characters. This has blinded many critics to his genius as a literary creator. He is not a stylist or an exquisite craftsman like Edgar Allan Poe or Gustave Flaubert. On the other hand, his novels are impossible to put down; they lead the enchanted reader to the end. He is still read around the world, his stories still are retold in new works, including film. He succeeded in his aim of making history come alive.

She was most recently seen on NBC's critically acclaimed series, "Parenthood," for it's 5th season and is currently co-starring in HBO's "True Blood".

Anyone able to help?
Hi there, you could use a landing page, or clickable jpeg image, or tables with jpeg image on the front page… it should work.
That's what I ended up doing. Thanks for your reply. : )

United move excites Henrik
20 Dec 2006 - 11:23:33
Henrik Larsson is looking forward to starting a new chapter in his career when he makes his Manchester United debut next month.
The veteran Swedish striker was a surprise purchase by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson but is expected to make his debut for the Premiership leaders in next month's FA Cup clash with Aston Villa.
Larsson said: "I had a great time at Barcelona and would never change it for anything in the world.
"I'm here and I'm kind of used to this (cold) weather so it's a good problem for me.
"What I can do is train as well as possible. I try always when I train to give 100 per cent and that's all I can really do.
"The gaffer decides where and when I'm going to play. For me, it's never been a problem. I know what I'm here for and, hopefully, I can do well.
"I'm really looking forward to this. I'm going to enjoy this one, take one game at a time and see what's happening.
"We'll see afterwards what I've done or not done."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The organizers of the Suncoast Offshore Grand Prix are struggling with the city over funding again this year.
The city informed event volunteer Bruce Franklin last week that it would not pay the $6,500 for a police presence at the July 2 boat parade.
"It's incomprehensible that they would do this just weeks before the parade," Franklin said.
Organizers and volunteers have raised more than $130,000 to pay for the weeklong event, including the hiring of private security.
But private security guards are not permitted to direct traffic surrounding the Main Street parade route, which is why police are required.
Franklin said he submitted the permits in February and called to check every few weeks to see if there were any problems, and none was raised. That's why he said he was surprised to get a call last week about the public-safety money.
Organizers had the same issue last year. Franklin went before the City Commission asking for greater funding from the city.
He presented a Convention and Visitors Bureau study that found the 2007 Offshore Grand Prix brought in $9 million to the city and county.
But Deputy City Manager Peter Schneider said with the budget situation the way that it is, the city is cutting back on non-essential spending.
"The city manager is trying to do everything he can to avoid more layoffs," Schneider said.
Franklin said he is hoping the city will relent and pay the $6,500 for police protection.
"It's a question of doing the right thing," he said. "I view it as their responsibility. We're not coming to beg at the last minute."

Available now at Audible, iTunes and Amazon!
"I need to plan a wedding," Ruby Gallagher blurted into the phone without even a hello.
"Ruby, that's fantastic!" Maddie Gallagher responded. "Arnie must be thrilled."
"Arnie?" Ruby paused. Debated between a chuckle and a frown. These young ones needed to stay out of her love life. "Not you, too. I'm talking about Scarlett's wedding, goose."
"Oh." But her great-nephew's wife quickly recovered her enthusiasm. "Poor Arnie, but Ian will be happy, I know."
"Heaven knows the boy has had to wait long enough. Don't know what my granddaughter's waiting on."
Maddie snickered. "Pot, meet kettle. How many years has Arnie been waiting on you?"
"Don't you get smart with me, young lady. There will be consequences."
"Consider me duly terrified," Maddie responded. "Given that my five-year-old is nearly as tall as you, my knees are quaking, I assure you."
"Not fair the Gallagher men get all the height," Ruby grumbled.
"You and Scarlett are the only pygmies, best I can tell."
"Enough of that impertinence. Do you want to help me plan this wedding or not?"
"Are you kidding? Of course I do. I was just telling Boone we need a family get-together soon. What better excuse? When were you thinking? A spring wedding?"
"Not hardly. I was thinking Thanksgiving."
"You don't lack ambition, do you? How about Christmas instead? What does Scarlett want?"
"She wants to get the old courthouse renovated for her new restaurant. Then she'll focus on getting that up and running. Then she'll want lord knows…and Ian is too patient with her."
"Is he complaining?"
"The man is goofy in love and too nice for his own good."
"So…" Maddie began. "Basically, Scarlett's grandmother wants Scarlett to hurry up and get married?" She paused. "That's never worked with you, and Scarlett comes by her stubbornness honestly."
"I'm hanging up now," Ruby grumbled.
Maddie burst out laughing. "Okay, okay…but it's late enough that Scarlett's friends from New York would have a hard time booking tickets for the heaviest travel time of the year. How about early December?"
Ruby had never been on an airplane in her life. "I never thought of that. All right. So, you're in?"
"Absolutely. And Perrie can do the cake. She's turning into quite a pastry chef. My sister Lacey could help with flowers, I bet."
"Veronica Butler owns a flower farm," Ruby reminded Maddie. "She'll handle the flowers."
"Absolutely. Lacey has many other skills—she could organize the wedding of the century in a week, I swear. All that socialite training didn't go to waste. She's a whiz at planning social galas and charity functions. I'll call her. We need to come down for a girls' weekend."
"If you show up here, Scarlett will get wind of it."
Silence fell.
"Ruby." Another pause. "You cannot mean to say you're planning her wedding as a complete surprise. Seriously?"
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to bring Ian in on it."
"You are something else." Her quick laugh hovered somewhere between horrified and intrigued. "You can't do that to her."
"Didn't your little town of Morning Star pretty much put your wedding together?"
"Well, yes, but—"
"And wasn't it wonderful?"
"It was, but nobody sprung it on me. Do you honestly want to incite Scarlett's likely reaction? She'll freak. At best, you'll wake up and find yourself married one morning, you know you will. She'll get Judge Porter to marry you in your nightgown, fast asleep."
"Judge would never do that, unless he wants me to evict him from my boarding house. And there's the little matter of my agreeing to it."
"And your point would be…?"
Ruby sighed. "All right. I just…I want to see her settled while I'm still here."
"You're going to live forever, Ruby. We all insist on it. Sweetgrass can't do without you, and neither can the family."
"No wonder Boone is still crazy for you, sweet-talker."
Maddie chuckled. "It's true, though. But back to Scarlett—maybe if we could put a plan together to show her instead, so she'd see she wouldn't have to start from scratch? That might make things more doable if lack of time is all that's holding her up. Lacey and I could compile a timeline, and I know Perrie will be onboard. We'll talk to Veronica and Scarlett's cousin Rissa, as well. Since you can't easily get away from Scarlett, operating the diner together, we can put a rough outline together, run it by you, then you let me be the bad guy and spring it on Scarlett."
"I wasn't planning to give her advance notice."
"At all? Ruby, you can't do that."
"Of course I can. It's my right. I'm old."
Maddie burst out laughing. "What you are is incorrigible."
Ruby barreled on. "Ian will help you with her when the time comes. He has a way with her."
"I just bet he does," Maddie responded drily. "There's something about those good-lookin' cowboys…"
"It's not that she doesn't want to marry him. She just has this notion that she has to get the events center running first, as if I'll kick the bucket next week and she has to assure me Sweetgrass will be taken care of beforehand."
"She's hungry for family, Ruby. She adores you."
"She's the blessing of my life." Ruby's throat went tight. "I thought I would never have a family again after my daughter Georgia ran away."
"You have all of us, Ruby. And everyone in Sweetgrass considers you family."
"Do I hear a sniffle, young lady?" Maddie was a soft touch, with a heart as big as the world.
"Of course not. Would I dare get weepy in front of you?"
"Are you breeding again, Maddie Rose?"
"What a sexist thing to say." But the smile was there in her voice. "Yep. Knocked up bigger 'n' Dallas, but only Boone knows. As if those hellions of ours aren't plenty already."
"You talk a good game. I'm happy for you, sweetheart." Ruby knew Maddie had been all alone until she'd inherited Boone's ranch out from under him. She, like Scarlett, had been hungry for family. If not for her, the existence of Boone and Mitch's half-sister would never have been discovered. Lacey and her husband Devlin were now deeply ingrained in the Gallagher family.
"Thank you. So, see, I won't be dragging my heels on this wedding because I have an ulterior motive. I want to be a bridesmaid while I'm still hot. Pregnancy boobs without the belly."
Ruby had to laugh. "You are a caution, honey. Boone needed some shaking up. Boy was always too serious." His career in the SEAL Teams had not been a joyride, nor had his life with his father, after his mother had died.
"He doesn't have that problem now, I promise." Free-spirited Maddie had blown into Boone's life like a spring storm, and the man was crazy about her.
"So we're set, right?"
"I will start calling as soon as we hang up. But you should still tell her."
Silence ensued.
Maddie sighed. "I'll get back with you in a few days, okay?"
"Thank you, honey. You're a good girl."
"Practically a saint, I tell Boone every day. Talk soon, Ruby." With another bawdy laugh, Maddie disconnected.
"What are you plotting, Maddie Rose?" Boone Gallagher's blue eyes saw too much.
"Me?" She smiled sweetly at him.
"Yes, you. Was that Ruby you were talking to? Only woman I know better at Machiavellian maneuvers."
"Ooh, handsome, you know it makes me hot when you use big words." She cocked her head and sidled closer, walking two fingers up his hard-muscled, very distracting bare chest. "Big ole cowboy, throwing around ten-dollar words…"
Boone laughed. Grabbed her hand in his big one and reeled her in. "So who's the poor sap about to be caught in your evil clutches?"
"It's for her own good, really."
Maddie shook her head. "Scarlett. Ruby wants help planning her wedding."
Both eyebrows winged upward. "I didn't know they'd set a date." When Maddie didn't meet his gaze, he cocked his head and peered closer. "You were serious that she doesn't know? A little high-handed, don't you think? You'd be madder than hell if someone tried to pull that on you."
"As if I had much say in our wedding."
"Hey, we had one. I had to wait weeks for you…and locked out of my bed, too. It was hell."
"You weren't locked out of your own bed, only mine. It made the wedding night…spicier."
He yanked her into him. Bent to place his mouth on her throat. "Every damn time with you is spicy-hot, babe."
Maddie's head fell back with a sigh. "You've already knocked me up again, Boone."
His head rose swiftly. "Your appetite only increases when you're pregnant." He ran a hand over her curves. "As do all kinds of…other things." He waggled a leer.
"Interested, Babydaddy?"
"Always." His voice was a growl. "Forever." He was already walking her backwards to the bed.
"Daddy! Dalton not share!"
Boone rolled his eyes. "We wanted more of these demon spawn?"
Maddie rubbed herself against him, arms twined around his neck. "Honey, Daddy can't come right now," she called out.
Boone's forehead thunked against hers. "No kidding."
"But, Daddy," the voice of their precocious toddler daughter Lilah Rose went sweet and soft. "Need you."
With a hefty sigh he straightened. Pointed a finger at Maddie. "You. Don't move a muscle. I will be right back."
She winked lasciviously. "I'll be right here, big boy." She licked her lips slowly.
"Evil. Woman, you are pure evil." But he was grinning as he left.
He wouldn't be back anytime soon, Maddie would bet the farm—okay, ranch.
Even if he was, she still had time for one little call as an idea occurred to her. She picked up the phone and punched in numbers she knew by heart.
"Hey, Maddie."
"Hi, Scarlett. Listen, you ever think Ruby's been stringing Arnie on too long? I have an idea."
Scarlett laughed. "I'm listening."
Welcome to the King-Daddy of Cowboys Blog Hop. There are 5 stops on the blog hop. At each stop, one of the authors from the LOVE ME SOME COWBOY anthology will tell you a little about their hero and why he is the "King-Daddy of Cowboys." Read the blog and leave a comment. The more blogs you visit and comment on, the greater your chances of winning the grand prize, a $50 gift certificate to Barnes & Noble or Amazon. Smaller prizes will be available at each stop along the way.
At each stop, one author will describe the hero of their book. Telling you who would play them in the movie, and some interesting tidbits about their hero. Let us know what you think of the hero.
Good luck, and have fun!
Here's my candidate to play Boone: Josh Holloway. No, Boone is not remotely like Sawyer from LOST, but his hair is blond and he's tall and broad-shouldered like Josh. (He is not, however, likely to call Maddie Freckles.;) This former SEAL takes life waaay too seriously. Maddie, however, does not!) Boone is the rock-solid guy who's a wizard with horses and loves his land to his core…which is why the very thought that his father willed the ranch to a yoga-loving New York chef who knows more about microplanes (what is a microplane, anyway, Boone asks?) than saddles drives him absolutely nuts. Maddie, however, proves impossible to either forget or ignore.
So when you're reading Boone's answers below, then hopping to the other blogs and checking out their guys and their answers, just keep in mind that Boone is not only a born protector and a man in whom you can entrust your life…he's also way hot and deliciously muscle-y!
Hero: Boone Gallagher (played by Josh Holloway)

Fund This Film: 'ACTION! Master Class With Nicholas Ray'
Features By Christopher Campbell on January 19, 2013 | Be the First To CommentFans of our regular series highlighting filmmaking tips from great directors ought to be interested in a project that's in the works called ACTION! Master Class With Nicholas Ray. The legend behind Rebel Without a Cause, Johnny Guitar and In a Lonely Place would have been 100 years old in 2011, and to mark the occasion The Nicholas Ray Foundation has been honoring the man's legacy through the Nicholas Ray Centenary Project, which consists of a triptych of films focused on the final ten years of his life. The first was a digital restoration of the most complete version of his ultimately unfinished experimental work We Can't Go Home Again. The second is a documentary companion to that called Don't Expect Too Much, which was directed by the filmmaker's widow, Susan Ray. Those are presently available on a disc from Oscilloscope. Susan Ray is also at the helm of this third effort, another documentary, which deals with Nicholas Ray's later gig as a teacher. The film will feature recordings from class lectures and private conversations along with footage from his films and his video archives. On the Kickstarter page for ACTION!, we're told of what we will be directly learning from Ray in this "master class":
Criterion Files #275: Godard Fights Cinematic Imperialism with 'Tout Va Bien'
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on June 1, 2011 | Be the First To CommentMuch of Jean-Luc Godard's cinematic output is inaccessible to American audiences. His most prolific period, the 1960s (in which he made 18 feature films) is almost entirely available, due in no small part to the Criterion Collection's well-justified infatuation with the cineaste's important and influential work. The output of much of his later career, however, isn't commercially accessible in the US including much-lauded work like Nouvelle Vague (1990) and the Histoire(s) du Cinema entries (1988-98). In fact, Tout va Bien (1972 – his most recent title included in the Collection) is to my knowledge the only film he made in the 1970s that's available on Region 1 DVD. This is all to say that here in the US, what we know of Godard we know mostly the first decade of his career. While it's unfortunate that cinephiles have minimal access to his later work, this complaint is not meant to undervalue the importance of the work he did in the 1960s. Godard made an unbelievable amount of brilliant and challenging work in an astoundingly short amount of time, and by 1970 he had emerged as a different kind of filmmaker altogether. Godard's 1960s work is, in a sense, the only logical starting point in order to approach an understanding of this later work. Godard's films are an ongoing exercise in personal growth, aesthetic experimentation, and political criticism. Each work builds off of what came before. With this weekend's US release of Godard's most recent work, Film Socialisme, the gaps in […]
Culture Warrior: Toward An Alternative Top 10 List
Cinematic Listology By Landon Palmer on January 25, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis time last month, critics across the web and in print were compiling their mandatory best-of lists. While I often get annoyed when some lists with grander goals are given a degree of resonance they don't in fact deserve (I'm looking at you, AFI), I do see the fun of the end-of year list ritual and honestly enjoy reading and writing such lists myself. But the thing is, I'm not primarily a critic for FSR, I'm a columnist. Thus, it's nowhere near mandatory that I see everything released in a given year. I've been generously given the privileged position here of seeing what I want to see and writing about what I find interesting to write about week-in and week-out. While I receive occasional screeners for indie flicks and docs, I no longer live in a town that holds press screenings, so any new releases I choose to write about come into fruition because I, like your average cinephile (take note, Kevin Smith), have paid to see a movie that I think deserves my time, words, and money. This long digression is to ultimately say that my critical opinion of a given year at the end of that calendar year doesn't ultimately mean all that much. My annual Top 5 contributions are based on comparatively few films seen by December 31. It's typically not until sometime in February that I have anything resembling a top 10 list of my own that I can stand by, having finally seen former limited […]

The creators of this website are all familiar with the stress and hardship that can often accompany a search for appropriate care for a loved one. With this in mind, we have created a more ethical website, and we offer the following commitments to users of this site:
- We are committed not to sell on or share any of our database with third parties (other than NHS). We strongly oppose the sale and sharing of information of this nature for commercial purposes.
- Care home providers cannot pay to remove negative reviews. All reviews are moderated against a site posting and submission policy.
Here at Compare Care Homes, we realise just how time consuming compiling a short list of nursing homes can be, and this why we're here to help. Our easy-to-use search and comparison tool lets you whittle down your options, so that you can then take a closer look at suitability of nursing homes within your specified area. Our search tools also let you search for homes by their specialisation such as dementia and EMI providers.
Find, Search, Compare and Review UK Care Homes
With so many different residential care homes offering so many different facilities, levels of care and lengths of stay, you're not alone if you're finding it difficult to narrow your choices down- although we can help you in your search.
