Frank Lloyd Wright-designed filling station to debut at Pierce-Arrow Museum

Frank Lloyd Wright got many a prediction about modern life correct, from the general layout of houses to the rise and spread of the suburbs, and while hundreds of his prescient designs were actually built during Wright's lifetime, one – a take on the now-ubiquitous filling station – has taken more than 85 years to materialize, with its public debut scheduled for this Friday.
While roadside gasoline pumps proliferated across the country throughout the first couple decades of the twentieth century, offering a somewhat convenient way to fill up horseless carriages and other early automobiles, by the mid-1920s, growing cities became fed up with them and began legislating them out of existence. Pumps would need to move to dedicated filling stations, but even the early filling stations that complied with the new laws appeared irregular and haphazard, as Michael Karl Witzel wrote in The American Gas Station.
The ramshackle filling station could easily be installed on any vacant lot or busy street where vehicles passed – creating an overnight eyesore. Usually made up of whatever cheap construction materials were readily available, these early gas shanties lacked charm or visual appeal… Features such as canopies or roof overhangs for shelter from the elements were nonexistent and universally regarded as unnecessary.
Except to Wright. The architect, recognizing the importance of the automobile in America and noting how widespread cars would become, envisioned a different, more refined, way for people to fill up. In 1927, he laid out a design for a two-story, twin-canopy filling station that would incorporate a waiting or observation room on the upper story and hoses and nozzles that hung from the canopy. It would include restrooms for both men and women, a sitting area, a showcase for related products, and even a couple of fireplaces. (Granted, other canopied filling station designs had already been built – Witzel noted Gulf's 1913 drive-in design and a pre-fabricated steel design used in California in the mid-Teens – but none had quite the amenities as Wright's.)
Wright designed the station as a commission for Darwin Martin and William Heath, who owned Tydol Gas Company. They planned to put it on the corner of Cherry Street and Michigan Avenue in downtown Buffalo, New York, and eventually build thousands more like it across the country. But Wright's design – especially after adding in a number of extravagant touches, including copper roofing and trim and all sorts of Art Deco touches – proved too expensive to build. According to Jim Sandoro, founder and executive director of The Buffalo Transportation/Pierce-Arrow Museum in Buffalo, Wright wanted $1,700 for the plans – about $92,000 in today's dollars and the same amount he projected each station would cost to build – and when Martin and Heath balked, Wright shopped the design to Texaco and other oil companies. "Boy, he was sore," said Sandoro.

In fact, not long after, plans for a similar filling station cropped up in Wright's Broadacre City, his 1932 proposal for a planned development (that also happened to include Ace and Gary cars). Broadacre City, The Atlantic wrote, was Wright's "vision of a decentralized urban landscape that many have interpreted as a sort of super-suburbia. The service station, in Wright's words, would be 'the future city in embryo,' which would 'naturally grow into a neighborhood distribution center, meeting-place, restaurant … or whatever else is needed.'" Filling stations would actually become a catalyst for transforming existing settlements into Broadacre City-like suburbs, according to Wright's plan. However, only one would be built – the 1959 station in Cloquet, Minnesota – but it would take quite a bit from the 1927 design, including the cantilevered canopy, copper roof, and second-story waiting room.
After Wright's death, the 1927 design was all but forgotten. Sandoro came across it once, briefly, during a visit in the 1970s to Taliesin West, but not until 2000 did he begin to research the design, buy rights to it (at a cost of $175,000) and form plans to build it in Buffalo, specifically on the site of The Buffalo Transportation/Pierce-Arrow Museum, which Sandoro founded in 1997 and opened in 2001. "But the more I thought about it – the more I thought about copper theft and wind shear and all the problems that come with putting something like that outside – I decided that I'd have to build an atrium around it," he said.

That meant first of all that the filling station would never operate as a filling station (which was okay, because Wright's plans called for overhead fuel tanks, which would have violated just about every municipal fire code on the books) and second of all that Sandoro would have to raise a lot of money: about $10 million to construct the 60-foot-tall, 40,000-square-foot atrium, and about $1 million to $1.2 million for the filling station.
"But that's good because museums can't live on general admission alone," Sandoro said. "We raise a lot of money with events, and there's a lot of new events we can do now with a total capacity for 3,000 people."

Sandoro said he himself oversaw the work on the filling station, which was built to Wright's exact specifications by a number of local contractors, including Alp Steel and coppersmith Rich Foley. "We used the same types of hoses, the same glass bells under the canopy, we even have the exact toilet and sink fixtures in the bathrooms that he prescribed," Sandoro said.
And now, with the construction of the filling station complete, the museum will open the new atrium and Frank Lloyd Wright filling station to the public at 2 p.m. this Friday. For more information about the unveiling and the museum, visit Pierce-Arrow.com.
Michigan's Gilmore Car Museum now open year-round

Situated on a 90-acre parcel in Hickory Corners, Michigan, the Gilmore Car Museum has seen amazing growth in recent years, with the addition of the CCCA Museum, Pierce-Arrow Museum, Franklin Collection, Midwest Miniatures Museum and the Tucker Historical Collection and Library, in addition to the forthcoming Cadillac-La Salle, Lincoln, and Model A Museums. Although it is traditionally open seasonally from April to November, visitors will now have access to the facility's all-new, 32,000-sq.ft. Automotive Heritage Center year-round, a first since Gilmore's 1966 opening.
Designed as an early 1900s factory, the Heritage Center features a state-of-the-art multimedia theater, a large exhibit gallery, an educational and interactive area, and an expansive research library and archives center, as well as a museum store, offices and artifact storage facility. In addition, the building connects to one of the museum's historic barns, leading to five other exhibit galleries and the vintage Franklin Auto Dealership.

Good Morning, Vietnam duo Barry Levinson and Robin Williams re-team to tell the tale of a quick-witted radio talk-show host whose fanciful bid for the presidency becomes a surprising reality in the one political comedy that truly speaks for… More Good Morning, Vietnam duo Barry Levinson and Robin Williams re-team to tell the tale of a quick-witted radio talk-show host whose fanciful bid for the presidency becomes a surprising reality in the one political comedy that truly speaks for the people. When talk show host Tom Dobbs (Robin Williams) makes an offhand comment that he would be a better president than the leader who currently occupies the White House, a grassroots campaign conducted by his legions of fans finds him unexpectedly ushered into the Oval Office and forced to live up to his promise. Unfortunately for Dobbs, the revelation that his surprise victory was actually the result of a voting computer glitch and not majority vote leaves the outspoken funnyman struggling with the decision to stay the course in the Oval Office or head back behind the microphone where he is truly in his element. Laura Linney, Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum, and Lewis Black co-star the satirical comedy scripted and directed by Levinson.

Consensus: Weakened by second-half attempts at thriller and romance, this presidential comedy also fails to hit any sharp political notes, resulting in a confused and unsatisfying mess.
Levinson has written and directed in many genres. But rarely has he made a film as indecisive and diffident as Man of the Year.
Full review…It's a comedy, a political thriller, a love story: Barry Levinson's Man of the Year tries to be all things to all people and fails on every count -- a little like the generic, ineffectual politicians it's pretending to excoriate.
Full review…Lame political comedy misses the mark.
Full review…A surprisingly complex and dark satire that skewers the media as well as the political process.
Full review…A few observations about the hollowness of party politics, plus Robin Williams doing lots of funny shtick as a Jon Stewart-like comic running for president, have been thrown together with low regard for logic or consistent tone.
Full review…Uneven, but never less than entertaining.
Full review…Man of the Year makes telling points and has a lot to say, but it loses its voice along with its consistency around the mid-way point, and that will likely make it an also-ran in the box office race.
Full review…Barry Levinson's Man of the Year squanders a promising premise; it's ultimately overlong, underwritten and strangely unfunny.
Full review…Man of the Year has some nice ideas and a handful of excellent scenes, but it struggles to find the right tone and is hamstrung by a ridiculous plot point.

Juke Box Ryan from Highland, IN– Verified Buyer I couldn't believe I found this jukebox music player on Wayfair at this price. It is already getting compliments and only owned it a short time. This specific model has the CD player included which is nice since most units being sold are eliminating the CD player part of the system. The lights that surround the unit give the jukebox its charm. It's a must buy to finish any man cave, bar or game room. Very pleased with this order and shipped the next day! |

Are the Falcons still operational? I keep hearing that they have serious parts problems, have the Americans started supplying parts again
Masterchief, do you know that Kopassus initially were established as TNI special forces, rather than the Army's special forces.. that's why the name is Kopassus not Kopassusad (army special forces)... but each services' ego made them to establish their own special forces...CMIIW i know this matter from Mr. Luhut Panjaitan's statement in national tv years ago. (He is the first Sat81 Commander - Kopassus CT unit)
Are the Falcons still operational? I keep hearing that they have serious parts problems, have the Americans started supplying parts again
It remains the same until today. All existing Army-Navy-AF's SFs are officially TNI's SF. Why ? Because all of them are controlled by TNI Chief. KSAD, KSAL or KSAU are not authorized to send them for any assignment. I recon, at the end of the day, TNI Chief will select a mixed colorful team. So all of these Services SF units will be simply absurd & wasting time.
When the falcon escorted RI-001 across Java
Galils and Uzis... Like I've said before, unusual for Indonesia to receive them since they don't have formal relations with Israel unless they got them licensed made from Colombia. Wonder how they got them?
Antara News has some news on the Pistol Serbu circa 2008. Anyone care to give a heads up.
Is it known which specific units these were? The ones with Israeli weapons and the Cakra FAV would be especially interesting. Thanks in advance

Nancy Mary (Telfer) FRASER
FRASER, Nancy Mary (Telfer) - Born December 21, 1932, died August 28, 2013 of
breast cancer
. Daughter of Harry and Gladys Telfer, sister of Bob and the late Bill Telfer. Godmother of Tracy Burk and Joanne Grindley. Mom will be incredibly missed by her son Jim, daughter Wendy (beloved daughter- in-law Carol Dayment) and favourite cousin Heather Grindley. Our mom grew up in Montreal and spent her adult years moving back and forth between Toronto, Montreal and finally Halifax. She has been working since she was a child, first as a tap dancer, retiring from Seneca College 2000. Life presented many challenges and struggles for mom but her humour and perseverance served her well in getting past them and to a place of peace. Mom's summers at the cottages in Morin Heights and Washago and time spent by the ocean, left her with a lifelong appreciation of nature. She loved animals and had many pets all of whom she adored and spoiled. She would have been a fabulous grandmother. If there's a heaven, we hope they serve Manhattans and cigarettes. Please consider memorial donations to the Hospice Society of Greater Halifax. For memorial details or to share a story about Nancy please write: firstname.lastname@example.com Mom, "You'll never walk alone". xo w

Medicare is a great benefit, but it alone leaves you with some heavy handed cost sharing and coinsurance. That is why it is very important for Georgians turning 65 to evaluate their financial situation and determine if Georgia Medicare supplement insurance is right for them. Medicare has traditionally paid around 80% of seniors medical expenses. A Georgia Medicare supplement insurance plan can greatly reduce your risk of a medical emergency or even doctor visits that are financially pain full. In 2011 the Medicare Part A deductible was $1,132 and that is not yearly that is per benefit period. If treatment exceeded 60 days your cost sharing portion is $283 per day and $566 for days 91-150! Part B has a $162 yearly deductible and then you pay 20% of everything thereafter with the exception of excess charges which you pay 100%. Excess charges are capped at 15% above what Medicare allows and can be charged by doctors that do not accept Medicare Assignment. A Georgia Medicare supplement insurance plan can cover some or all of these charges depending on which plan you select.
Eligibility for Georgia Medicare supplement insurance
The Great news is that anyone turning 65 and receiving both Medicare Part A and B has an initial enrollment period in which insurance companies must sell you Georgia Medicare supplement insurance. This period starts and last 6 months from your Part B effective date. What is even better news is that during this initial enrollment period you do not have to go through medical underwriting. Underwriting will consist of just a few questions that you answer on your application. This is the very best time to obtain a Georgia Medicare Supplement. If you wait there are penalties that you will pay and with very few exceptions you will have to go through medical underwriting.
Retiring and moving to a Georgia Medicare supplement insurance plan
There is also a guaranteed issue period for people who are over 65 and retiring in Georgia and are eligible for Medicare. Anyone over the age of 65 and losing their employer group coverage through no fault of their own may also apply with no medical underwriting. This period is 63 days from the day their previous coverage ends.
Free look and guaranteed renewable
When you purchase Georgia Medicare supplement insurance you have a "free look" period. The free look period last 30 days and during this time you may return or cancel any policy you signed and have your premiums returned. Another great benefit of Georgia Medicare supplement insurance is that it is "guaranteed renewable" which means the company you receive your policy from must always renew it if you keep paying your monthly premium.
How to shop for Georgia Medicare supplement insurance
Georgia Medicare supplement insurance is offered by many insurance companies and there are currently ten different plans available. Each plan by the same letter name offers the exact same coverage no matter who is selling it. So plan F with United of Omaha is the same as plan F with Gerber, but the prices will not be the same. This is why it is important to get quotes from an independent agent. An independent agent does not work for a particular insurance company and can get you the same insurance policy for the same price as a captive agent that works for one particular company. An independent insurance agent allows you to shop around without having to do the leg work yourself and their service is of course free.
Ready for Georgia Medicare supplement insurance quotes
Getting your quotes from us is easy just click the link and fill out the request form. Unlike many websites we do not sell your information to a bunch of agents causing you a lot of hassle. Your information stays with us and goes to just one independent agent who will pull your quotes and email them to you. If you find a plan you like, simply email that agent back and they will mail you the application. Very simple, now hassle, and no cost.
Can I sell Medicare Supplements?
"Yeah, but, can I sell Medicare Supplements successfully?"
This is the question I'm answering in this video.
Coming from law enforcement into the senior market in insurance, that was about the craziest transition ever. I know that if you can go from 15 years of telling people what to do, and ordering around subordinates, and you can learn the skillset necessary to succeed in a sales career, then anything is possible!
If you've been in construction, retail sales, or customer service – it does not matter.
If you focus on the skillset necessary to become an interested salesperson – interested in what the client's needs are, you can succeed.

Fiji: WLUML Statement on charges against Imrana Jalal
The international solidarity network, Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML), condemns the politically-motivated charges brought against human rights lawyer, Imrana Jalal, by the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) on 1 January 2010. FICAC, as with most significant government bodies since the coup, is headed by a military officer. FICAC was established to investigate and prosecute corruption, but instead has been used to also persecute persons not supportive of the military regime.
A former Fiji Human Rights Commissioner, who has worked with WLUML on law reform and related issues, Ms. Jalal has a long record of public opposition to all unlawful (military and non-military) undemocratic regimes. These include the regimes of Sitiveni Rabuka, George Speight and now, Voreqe Bainimarama; her stance against Fiji's 2006 military takeover is public knowledge.
On 5 January 2010, Fiji's Military Forces Land Force Commander, Brigadier Pita Driti, warned Fiji citizens that they should remember "who is in control." He went on to threaten any dissenters "...there are only a few people who [we] could term as adversaries, but I would discourage them from doing anything and I would like to tell them to keep low and try to cooperate with us in trying to maintain peace otherwise they will be in for something really hard in terms of how we will treat them this year." (Radio Fiji interview)
Ms. Jalal was served with seven charges alleging breaches of the Public Health (Hotels, Restaurant and Refreshment Bars) Regulations, the Food Safety Act and the Penal Code. The charges relate to a business operated by Bottomline Investments. Ms. Jalal is a director of this company but has not been involved in its day to day operations. The restaurant charges normally attract a penalty of FJD20.00 (USD10.00) and are Suva City Council offences. A large number of businesses in Suva operate without a licence, whilst their applications for licences are being processed. This is not a corruption matter, nor one which FICAC is legally permitted to prosecute, according to lawyer, Ms. Jalal.
Threats of rape
WLUML furthermore abhors the military regime's repeated use of grave threats against the person of Ms. Jalal, and her husband. In December 2006, after her published opposition to the military takeover, Ms. Jalal was threatened with rape, via an anonymous call to her mobile phone, and warned to "shut her mouth" or 'they' would shut it for her. The call was traced to a phone booth outside the gates of the Queen Elizabeth Barracks, home of the Fiji Military Forces. Twenty minutes prior to the call, Colonel (now Brigadier) Mohammed Aziz had asked Major Davina Chan to call Ms. Jalal's office to obtain her mobile phone number. Imrana Jalal made a police complaint about the threat of rape, which is a matter of public record.
FICAC has initiated these actions against human rights lawyer and Co-Founder and Board Member of the Fiji Women's Rights Movement, in order to harass and intimidate her into halting her public opposition to undemocratic regimes. Imrana Jalal categorically denies the allegations and intends to strenuously defend herself against the charges. WLUML applauds her for her courageous resistance to aggressive efforts to silence her, and asks international civil society groups and governments to put pressure on Fiji to ensure the safety and freedom of expression of Imrana Jalal, and her husband, and to uphold the rights of Fijian citizens to freedom of speech and dissent.

Purchase Warranty Tracker (Lite)
By Todd, Michael & James, Inc.
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Install the Purchase Warranty Tracker and never miss using a warranty or guarantee again. All data needed to redeem such claims is stored in one place, including receipts. When needed, product records can be easily accessed and hard copies printed. Once set up, the app will automatically warn you when your product warranties or guaranties are approaching their expiration periods. Alerts are customizable and include notifications by email, text, and an audible beep.
The LITE version allows you to use the full functionality of the app for 30 days or add a maximum of 5 items. Once 30 days is reached you will no longer be able to add additional items, but all other functionalities of the app will continue to work.
What's New in Version 1.2
Solved the design issues in ios 6...
iPhone Screenshot
Customer Reviews
Requires an 'account' and your email
Downloaded the app, opened it, and it forces you to create an account with your email address. You can't even use the app without logging in.
When the first screen I see requires an account or my email before I can even test the app, the app gets deleted.
Needs ability to zoom on pics
Good concept. But you can't really keep the warranty info in this program. It turns the pictures into thumbnails and you can't read the warranty or UPC info
Too busy of interface
The app flashes at you telling you have saved the preferences.
Needs a login to work.
Pictures pretty much useless inside tool.

Service planned for former Ocala resident slain in Georgia
A memorial service for Misty Garner Weegar will be at 6 p.m. Friday at Unity Baptist Church, 1300 N.E. 100th St., Anthony.
Published: Monday, August 16, 2010 at 11:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 6:39 a.m.
A longtime Ocala resident was killed last week in Georgia.
Memorial service
A memorial service for Misty Garner Weegar will be at 6 p.m. Friday at Unity Baptist Church, 1300 N.E. 100th St., Anthony.
Misty Garner Weegar, a Vanguard High School graduate, was found at her home in Grovetown, Ga., with several stab wounds, according to Columbia County Sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris.
Grovetown is east of Atlanta. Weegar, 41, had recently moved to the area.
Michael Todd Williams, 41, of Martinez, Ga., was arrested and charged in connection with Weegar's murder.
Morris said Williams and Weegar had been dating for less than a year.
Close friends of Weegar said she had recently called off their engagement and moved out of the house they were buying together. The pair weren't together at the time of the slaying.
Another person contacted law enforcement to report possible domestic violence, Morris said. That person led deputies to Williams.
Weegar had been stabbed seven times in the torso area and beaten, Morris said.
Weegar was a district manager for Avon and had two children. A memorial service was held on Sunday. Another service will be at 6 p.m. Friday at Unity Baptist Church in Anthony.
Deanne Bailey, 39, of Ocala, met Weegar through her older sister, Caren Davis. She called Davis when she noticed a Facebook posting about Weegar's death.
Davis, 42, couldn't believe it. She had just spoken to Weegar the day she was killed.
"She was an FSU fan and I'm a Gator fan, so I was giving her a hard time about it," she said. "We just tried to catch up."
The two women were fast friends in elementary school and graduated together from Vanguard in 1986, she said.
"She always found the good in everybody," she said. "I've never known her to have anything bad to say about anybody."
Davis was there when Weegar had her first child, Bethanny, and helped raise her, Davis said.
Bailey said she and Weegar traded stories about being young grandmothers. Bailey received a package Friday with Avon products from Weegar.
"For Shane's grammy," the note read. "Hope this takes away some of your fine lines."
Weegar's teenage son lived with her, but was visiting his dad when the murder happened, Davis said.
There was no inkling of trouble between Weegar and Williams.
"It's just unbelievable," Davis said. "You hear about things like this happening, but you never expect it happening to someone close to you."

In all of these challenges, a good layout is part of the answer. To improve flow and utilize space, let me suggest two axioms that constantly apply. 1. Layout is equally as useful in the office, the lab, the shop, customer service, distribution and the warehouse as on a production floor.2. Layout projects are not all the same, because no two facilities or processes are the same. There will not be a template on the web, or a standard floor plan, that matches your situation. Since you desire a competitive advantage, you won't want a cookie-cutter solution anyway, you will want a layout tailored for your particular building, equipment, process. To create an effective layout for your circumstances, JPR can perform a project, shepherd your staff, or tailor services to supplement client resources. E-mail Jack Greene at email@example.com or call 843-422-1298, to ask about layout There is neither charge nor obligation for discussions.. |
Deliverables | Plant layouts tend to be infrequent, designed to catch up to changes in equipment, products, volumes, and flow. Get it right, the next one may not occur for a while. Your organization's specific goals will be unique, and JPR would apply those from the following concepts that will contribute to your specific objectives, because all layout projects are not the same. For an effective new layout, first pull out all of the waste movement, all unnecessary material handling. Create plans that satisfy not only current but also future space demands. Place work stations and inventory to amplify their interactions Arrange for simple, short and direct material flow paths. The keyword is utilization; of space of course but also of equipment where it can serve multiple products. When you include all the stake holders in the development process, the resulting layout will very likely be more well suited to real conditions, and you'll put it into effect more smoothly. Create layouts to accommodate new technology, additional products or volume. Apply productivity principles to create an effective arrangement, to minimize space constraints. It is very common to execute a relocation with a "checkers" game, a series of sequential moves. Office layouts are a special case because they usually are quite visible, and affect both clients and executives. |
What's Next? |
JPR can help you to use layout principles, within your organization, to achieve your particular goals.
We are experienced, objective, and quick. We have the time and ability that perhaps your team
doesn't have right now. We can guide, train, or perform the time study.
One size does not fit all, when it comes to layout. JPR does not offer the "buzz-word of the month", but chooses from time-tested techniques to meet client circumstances and objectives. Take the next step; call JPR to discuss the most appropriate solutions for your unique circumstances, timetable and budget. There is no cost nor obligation for preliminary discussions.

Salam Emila…oh terima kasih. tak sangka Emila terima cadangan saya…lakaran Tugu Negara itu seperti lakaran-lakaran Emila yang lain memang menarik
Art & Places: Tugu Negara, KL
Went to Tugu Negara as per suggestion of UnsungHero (UH). Thank you so much for the idea, if not for you, UH, I will be taking my own sweet time to go. Frankly, I have never visit the National Monument simply because it's here at home.
I spent the morning to walk around the area with my son, Yassin, before sitting down to sketch the monument.
Yassin was actually lying on his stomach to be in his comfortable position to draw. Haha.
Tugu Negara (National Monument) sketch. I made one round before finding a good angle to draw. Save me the time to draw all 7 statues! Pencil and colorpencil on Moleskine Plain Notebook.
The sculpture depicts a group of soldiers, with two slumped at the base and one holding the Malaysian national flag aloft. Each of the bronze figures symbolizes leadership, suffering, unity, vigilance, strength, courage and sacrifice. The granite base of the sculpture bears the old coat of arms of Malaysia, flanked on either side by inscriptions in English in Latin script and Malay in Jawi script: 'Dedicated to the heroic fighters in the cause of peace and freedom, May the blessing of Allah be upon them.'
The monument was designed by sculptor, Felix De Weldon who was also responsible for the Marine Corps War Memorial in Virginia, United States. Completed early 1966, the sculpture stands at 15 meters (49.21 feet) tall and is the world's tallest bronze free-standing sculpture grouping.
And here's Yassin's drawing:
Yassin said the monument is too hard to draw (left) so he later a soldier with gun (right).

Salam Em,
I have not been to Tugu Negara for ages..
Your kid pun pandai draw and he is right to stick to what he knows.
hehehe I also find it difficult to draw the soldiers yg terbaring and berdiri wih badan bersilang and whatnot.
Saya pergi kat sana dengan keluarga saya dan keluarga pakcik pada 31 December 2013. Ingat nak tengok bunga api dari sit, tapi lepas tu anak-anak dah meragam, terus balik lah.
Askar Yassin ada rupa macam Goku dah…
I like the sculptor on the top, but not on the bottom.
Wahhh lajunya K.Em hantar post baru. Nak baca pun tak sempat lagi ni… esok sambung baca… nak balik rumah
wow.. yasinnn ada bakat dari ur mom..
wow..cantik drawing akak ..
oh my.. Yassin looks so tiny compare to the national monument o.O
hampir tak perasan kewujudan dia dlm gmbar.. hehehe.. -
yassin's drawings are so engaging. i like his posture while drawing >_<

It's official: from here on out no more troubled celebrities will be checking into Dr. Drew Pinsky's Celebrity Rehab. During a recent interview with the Zach Sang & The Gang radio show, Dr. Drew confirmed he "doesn't have plans" to make any more seasons of the controversial VH1 reality show. His reasoning? "I'm tired of taking all the heat. It's just ridiculous."
To date, five people who participated in Celebrity Rehab since its debut in 2008 have passed away. Country star Mindy McCready committed suicide in February; Rodney King had cocaine and alcohol in his system when he drowned in June 2012; Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr accidentally overdosed on prescription medication in March 2011; Jeff Conaway also died of a drug overdose in 2011; and Real World star Joey Kovar died of accidental opiate intoxication in August 2012.
Despite the death toll, Pinksy still claims that the show helped people. "It's sad that we're not doing more shows because people did get help," he said. "A lot of people are sober because of Celebrity Rehab who wouldn't have been sober without it."
"It's very stressful and very intense for me, " Pinksy added. "To have people questioning my motives and taking aim at me because people get sick and die because they have a life-threatening disease, and I take the blame? Rodney King has a heart attack and I take blame for that?..."These are really sick people, that's why they die."
Pinsky went on to note that, "Bob [Forrest] and Shelly [Sprague] and I ran a program for 20 years and we do what we always do and just let them run the cameras." In 2012, Pinsky — who is still doling out advice to the girls of Teen Mom on MTV — briefly brought back the show without "Celebrity" in the title. This reinvented version series dealt with the struggles of everyday people and it ran for eight weeks.

The Deal: Abercrombie CEO Is Not Going Anywhere
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- On paper at least, Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF - Get Report), the mall-based specialty teen apparel retailer, is an attractive leveraged-buyout candidate.
But a major hurdle to any deal is CEO Michael Jeffries, who, sources say, opposes a sale of the company and is firmly entrenched, to boot.
Abercrombie now has activist investors agitating for a change at the top, with the aim of selling the company.
Glenn W. Welling, founder of hedge fund Engaged Capital, wrote a Dec. 3 letter to Abercrombie's board calling for Jeffries' removal when his contract comes up for renewal on Feb. 1. Welling wrote that the best option would be to sell the company to private equity, citing reports put out by FBR & Co. analyst Susan Anderson and Randal Konik of Jefferies Group.
Yet, Engaged has only 400,000 shares worth about $14 million at Tuesday's closing price of $35.99 per share. That's not a large stake in a retailer with a $2.75 billion market cap. The letter also admits that Jeffries is a major hurdle to such a deal. According to a source familiar with the company, Jeffries has no intentions of leaving the company and still opposes a sale of the company, preferring to remain public. But other industry watchers posit a scenario where Jeffries, at the vulnerable time of an employment contract renewal would rather take his change-of-control bonus than face a possible showdown with investors. Besides whatever stock option grants he has piled up in two decade-plus run heading up Abercrombie, Jeffries owns slightly more than 1 million shares, a 1.32% stake in his company, according to regulatory filings. The company did not respond to requests for comment. A list of the usual suspects among private equity firms that could be interested - and big enough to write a check - include TPG Capital, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. LP, Blackstone, Apax Partners, Leonard Green & Partners LP and Advent International, although, of those, the last two are the ones likely to have the most interest, industry sources said. Still, another industry source said Jeffries continues to have the support not only of management, but more importantly, its board. A recent brouhaha over Jeffries' comments that his brand does not cater to overweight people, among other uncomplimentary reports about his management style and lifestyle, are largely superficial, and have done little to undermine that support or his position at the company, this person said. For the year ended Feb. 2, New Albany, Ohio-based Abercrombie had nearly $600 million in EBITDA, according to data provided by Bloomberg. For its current fiscal year that will end on Jan. 31, it is estimated to have about $405 million in EBITDA. Meanwhile, as of Nov. 2, it had cash of nearly $260 million and total debt of only about $200 million.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Great location, safe, many resturants close. Room was very good.
All towels very worn but serviceable. Carpeting on second floor hallway (mine) was very lumpy and tacky looking.
Excellent location; generous size rooms; good breakfast & papers; staff helpful; wifi worked well; reasonable rates.
Poorly marked entrance; public computer hard to use in repeated attempts; vending machine couldn't handle US money; room drapes don't provide full coverage when closed; parking lot irregular shape & small
Comfortable beds. Clean rooms
Was not ready at check in and we checked in late.
The pictures of the room on the web is exactly how we found the room. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Would stay there again. Staff was very nice.
Very nice staff, clean and it was very comfy
The rooms were clean Employees were helpful Beds were comfortable Rooms were somewhat updated Had enough towels Restrooms were clean
Lobbies were outdated Terrible breakfast Ceiling in rooms were outdated and has cracks One employee (looks like a manager) was barefoot not professional
Large room that was recently redecorated. Bed was comfortable. Staff was responsive to request.
The room smelled of urine (possibly from a pet pet) and the breakfast was a joke.
Great location! Wonderful beach, great pool, cute little deck with ocean view to eat and drink on. Bar was pretty nice too. Rooms are very clean and the bed and pillows super comfortable! Try the fish tacos at their restaurant. :)
No complimentary breakfast.
The lobby was gorgeous. The rooms were clean.
It is still essentially an old Holiday Inn. For the price the rooms are very small and oddly decorated. The pile of the refrigerator/microwave/coffee maker was something I would expect in a 3 star rated and much cheaper hotel. I booked the room because it received 4 stars. I definitely feel that was overly generous.
No comment
The rooms were so dirty. The a.c./heater was full of dust and dirty. The bathroom vent was also full of dust, toilet seat had yellow Staines penetrated in it due to the age of it and the tub was so black you could not see the bottom of it. The room had this horrible musky smell like if there was someone there that had never taken a shower.Ughhhh and the customer service I called the front office at 9 am if they could bring me another bag of coffee to make myself a cup and I was told that housekeeping would be in until 10:30am if I wanted to wait......Really!!!!!!! Its not worth it. If you can spend that extra $$$$$$ DO IT!!!! WE SHOULD GET REIMBURSED....I wanted to post the pictures that were taken but I didn't have an option to do so.
The beds were really comfortable and housekeeping was a friendly group.
Some members of the staff had bad attitudes. Didn't feel welcomed there. A lot of rot and damage in the rooms and around the building. Our door lock at the top was loose and screw was falling off.
Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable! Attentive, courteous, and friendly staff, upgraded room, superior view and location, extremely comfortable bedding. In fact the best nights sleep I've had in years. Very clean and well appointed rooms and facilities. We will be staying here the next time we are back in Melbourne, and highly recommend you do as well!!
We have no complaints only praises!
I really loved this place. Very very friendly staff even the house keeper did something I've never seen before, we collected sea shells and had them piled in the sick when we returned she had cleaned them all by hand and laid them All out nice and neat on a towel. Wow!!! Was all we could say.. And the place is very clean and great beach access.
view was amazing and cleaniness
The room and bed were comfortable
Under renovation- dusty and breakfast room set up poorlysmall TV's in room
The over all stay was AMAZING!!! The room was nice the bathroom was beautiful and breakfast was delicious
Nothing everything was amazing

Enormously, tremendously, stupendously huge turkey advice?
- 96
- Follow
For reasons too convoluted to go into, this year our turkey is a 35+-pounder. I'm a little daunted. I usually wet-brine -- is this guy too big for that? Should I dry-brine? Anyone have any advice on this ... weighty matter? Thank you!
re: Tatania
OK, here's a picture of a 40 pounder--does it scare you?0-
re: blue room
Wow, all I can say is that poor turkey, bred to be so big around the breast there was no ability for him to have any, um, relationships with lady turkeys. Sad. Oh well. Anyway, wet brine it the usual way, for 12 hours max and roast for a long time...
0 -
re: blue room
Oh dear lord. Yes, yes it does scare me. I wonder if you'll even be able to break the wishbone in that thing.
0 -
re: blue room
What terrifies me more is the prospect of daily cooking on that range. Couldn't get a stock pot on it to save your life.
Wow, I didn't know they got that big!
I should think that brining would be equally workable whether wet or dry, but be sure not to soak it too long (6-12 hours max in a strong brine like 1 cup kosher salt to a gallon of water; you could go longer with a weaker brine).
Depending on your tools and sense of tradition, you might also consider breaking the bird down and roasting it so that you could pull the separate parts as they come to temperature. That's on the theory that a bigger bird might exacerbate the usual doneness differences of white and dark meat. Good luck!
re: Bada Bing
Interesting. Are you saying I should brine for a *shorter* time than with a normal bird? I would have thought the opposite. Why?
As for butchering the thing, that was the original (sensible) plan, but it's been nixed.
re: Tatania
A traditionalist put the kibosh on butchering? Well, that's Thanksgiving for you.
About brine times, I don't mean to say a *shorter* brine timing than is probably typical for you. But here's my concern: I know that some briners follow a time-to-weight formula (an hour per pound-and-a-half, or whatever), but with a weight that high, you run some risk of pickling the bird if you brine it, say, twice as long as you would an 18lb bird.
It will be interesting to hear from people with experience. Something makes me think that a lower, longer cook would work best for a whole bird this large. I'd use a probe themometer, maybe even two if possible in different parts of the bird. You might also consider the Cooks Illustrated approach of laying ice packs over the breast meat to even out the breast-thigh cooking times.
re: Bada Bing
>Well, that's Thanksgiving for you.
Exactly...Yes, I see what you mean about the brining - a very good point. Thank you. And the ice-pack is a definite.
As for longer-lower, this is something else I'm dithering about. It's my first thought as well, though I've also had great success (with smaller turkeys) with the Barbara Kafka 500f shorter blast. Very interested, too, in others' experience.

re: Bada Bing
Using a recipe from Alice Waters, I brine my 22 lb. bird for 72 hours. It has always turned out great and never"pickled."
We usually wind up with a thirty plus pound bird. When I brined, I think it was for a day or so. I just followed whatever directions/recipe for the brine I was using in any given year (most have some sort of instruction concerning brine needed per pound with recommended soaking times).
I actually skipped brining altogether last year. I just wasn't in the mood to wrestle a big wet bird any more than I already had to. I was going to dry-brine, but scrapped the plan at the last minute. I decided to roast the bird breast side down for the majority of the cooking time, and then flipped it only for the last hour or so (doing a foil tent on a bird that size, to protect the breast, almost required a building permit). We were really pleased with how it turned out.
Please note that flipping a bird that size usually requires two people. Good luck!
re: onceadaylily
>doing a foil tent on a bird that size, to protect the breast, almost required a building permit).
Laughing over this line.This is all comforting advice. Breast-side down may be the way to go.

Time of the day - either in the morning or evening has not been documented, however please take digoxin with a full glass of water & try to take the medication at the same time every day. The best would be to seek advice from the doc/pharmacist who prescribed the med. Take care, be well.
