Appointment with Death
When used to describe a work of any genre, the term "formulaic" usually suggests a lack of originality. But while every formula carries predictable elements, the most successful works manage to combine those elements in a way that subverts and surprises. Consider the enormously influential career of English author Agatha Christie. The Grand Dame of the murder mystery, Christie created scores of whoddunits, refining the archetypical storyline of enigmatically connected characters caught in the web of a murder investigation. The vicarious pleasure of playing detective through uncovering clues, hypothesizing motives, dodging red herrings, and successfully deducing the guilty party isn't restricted to the printed page, however, as evidenced by Theatre in the Round Players' past adaptations of Christie mysteries. With Appointment with Death, the company closes its latest season with a production sure to gratify the expectations of armchair sleuths while serving up more than a few unforeseen twists and turns. Set among an eclectic group of travelers passing the night at a Jerusalem hotel, the play features the suspicious death of a cantankerous invalid, Elmore Boynton, which labels each of the guests as a potential killer. The ultimate misdirection, however, continues to be perpetrated by Theatre in the Round Players; regardless of the murderer's identity, it's this seemingly innocuous theater company that continues to get away with orchestrating riveting evenings of murderous mirth.

Red plastic makes you look like a gamer even if
Oct 04, 2015
By Shanghai Kid
I purchased the USB version sight-unseen as an open box item at a much lower price. They were essentially new, plastic still on the earcups. Didn't return them but if I'd bought them on Amazon, I would have done so. I was primarily interested in trying these for voice dictation with Dragon because of the "non-boom" microphone. Unfortunately, the microphone doesn't pickup sound well enough to be accurate for that purpose. The microphone was acceptable for phone calls, but I have yet to test it out in the wind.
1. Connection options. Bluetooth (if you purchase that version), USB, 3.5mm jack which works with my iPhone
2. Pressing an integrated button on the rt earcup to answer a phone call is slick (sort of)
3) Ear cups light up red if using the Creative control panel on your Win 7,8,10 box with USB, but not with the 3.5mm jack
4) Fold flat for travel. Not too massive. Red plastic makes you look like a gamer even if, like me, you are not one.
Everything else is substandard, made-in-China plastic junk:
1. Comfort? No. It's hard to keep these on for more that an hour as the pleather ear pads cause my ears to sweat and become painful. There's not much padding here at all, my ears barely fit inside the earcups.YMMV.
2. Sound quality? 40mm neodymium drivers should ensure at least reasonable sound quality. Not. Firstly, Creative doesn't make a USB driver for this headphone for XP---plugging into my XP box results in flat sound with no bass, no highs, no soundstage. Basically not useable, no drivers. USB using the Creative Driver on my Win 7 box adds some EQ, pumps up the bass and the highs. The mids seem to be innately congested/smeared and indistinct, even without driving the headphones to higher volumes.Curiously, using the 3.5mm jack with either my home theater system results in somewhat better sound quality, but nowhere near any of the modestly-priced headphones that I use with my home system.
I have to wonder about some of the folks who have reviewed these and think that the sound quality is satisfactory. Are these their first headset?
3. The USB cord is crazy stiff and microphonic, anytime it rubs against anything, sound is transmitted to the right earcup. Which APE at Creative though this was a good idea? You'd have to spring for an aftermarket micro-USB connecter if you are as annoyed as me by this.
4. Questions about build quality raised by other reviewers are a red flag in a headset that sells for this much. I purchased mine on the cheap, if they broke tomorrow I wouldn't feel like I was out that much.
Bottom line: At the asking price, there are alot of other Bluetooth headsets out there that are more worthy of your hard-earned dollars than these. Creative tanks again.

Perfect for Music, and Battlefield 4.
Dec 08, 2013
By echofoxtrot
First I'd like to say I am a MAJOR audiophile. Major meaning I don't even listen to music (as much as I want to) unless it sounds like crystal and deep but mature bass.
Secondly I rate based off things I enjoy and prefer. So my rating of 5 stars for these might be too high for another "audiophile".
1. These are very comfortable to me, yet they aren't as comfortable to my girlfriend. Everyone has a different comfort level for certain things. Yes I would say that Beats Solo HD's feel way more comfortable, but they lack the bass that these have.
2. Turn the volume up as loud as you want and it sounds even better, some headphones lose some quality acoustics doing so.
3. The second you put them on its almost like wearing shooting headphones that dampen noise. And when I play music at about 40% volume I cannot hear anything exterior. So the noise-isolation is not bad, yet not the best.
4. This is a con to me. Anything greater than 70% volume can be heard by all the people on a bus/subway/car/whatever. When your at max volume its like your using one of those bluetooth speakers with your iPhone. So keep that in mind when there's people around you. Unless you don't care :). But a library wouldn't be a great place to slam your music with this headset.
5. The ability to remove the AUX is nice, you could replace it if ever need be.
6. It looks almost attractive on my girlfriend, but I might be biased on that ;) No but seriously they aren't very big and they're stylish to boot.
7. Siri works better with this built in microphone, so if your using voice dictation or just asking siri for information she understands you much better than iPhone's mic.
8. Tried out BF4 with these and WOW. You hear so much more with the "virtual" 7.1 surround its almost overwhelming. From casings hitting the cement to the whop whop whop of a chopper far away to the various explosions and collapsing buildings to the very realistic waves and blowing trees. It's actually incredible.
So yes, these will be more than enough for those who cannot afford the very best, yet can't stand cheaper sounding headphones.

Wireless Audio with No Compromises - UPDATE: Broke after less than two years
Sep 23, 2013
By Michael J. Descy
Update: I really liked these headphones but they broke in two pieces right above the right ear cup after less than two years. I used them heavily but treated them gently (they never left my desk and were stored on a stand).
I am very impressed with these headphones. I wear headphones almost 8 hours a day at work and while I exercise or do grocery shopping. These headphones sound fantastic, have numerous connection options (Bluetooth, USB, audio cable), and are comfortable enough for long stretches of listening. They include a microphone, too, which makes them perfect for pairing with a mobile phone--now I don't have to take my headphones off to answer a quick call.
Sound Quality (5/5)
These headphones have some sound Creative Sound Blaster processing in them. I don't really know what that means, but the headphones sound great. I can hear everything clearly, instruments and voices sound natural. I listen to music (classical, rock, jazz, and pop) and podcasts; I rarely use headphones for TV, movies, or gaming. For my testing I listened to many types of music and to a couple podcasts.
I think these headphones sound great and totally fit in with others at their price level. They sound a lot better than the iPhone earbuds. I prefer them to my Bose QuietComfort 15s (at least when I'm not on a plane). (The Bose headphones sound just like the iPhone earbuds to me: warm and muddy with poorly-defined lows.) The EVOs sound similar to my previous favorite headphones, the SteelSeries 7H Gaming Headset (Black), which are close to a flat-EQ, reference style headphone, but have more bass. The EVOs do not have the booming, exhausting bass of some of the Sony headphones and all of the Beats Audio headphones that I've tried in stores. Classic rock and classical music both sound natural and vibrant streaming from my iPhone over Bluetooth or via an audio cable, or from my computer over USB. I did not think anything was left out due to using Bluetooth rather than a hardwired connection. To me, these are perfect.
Features (4/5)
These are Bluetooth headphones, of course, and they offer a built-in microphone (it's a directional mic with noise cancellation, rather than a boom mic). They have a rechargeable battery, which is a mixed blessing. It offers up to 8 hours of listening time per charge. If that battery runs out, you have a couple options to keep listening, however. First, you could charge it over USB while listening, and, second, you could plug the headphones to an audio-out jack with the supplied male-to-male cable. All three connection options sounded good to me, and I am very happy that I can still use the headphones after the battery dies.
I paired the headphones with my iPhone and iPad via Bluetooth (you can connect to up to two devices and toggle between them). You can also connect to a PC or Mac. (I couldn't test on Linux, which isn't officially supported.) There is driver software for Windows and Mac that lets you turn on noise reduction for the built-in microphone and tweak some other basic audio settings, but it didn't seem worth my time to install it. The SoundBlaster iOS app might do the same things, but I couldn't get it to work.
These headphones do not include active noise-cancellation. That's not a required feature, but it is important to know when buying them.
Materials (5/5)
The headphones are made of metal and sturdy plastic. The red color looks pretty rad, but their outward appearance is mostly black. They look great, in my opinion. Everything folds up for travel, and it doesn't appear to have weak parts that could come apart or break. The pads are leather or leather-like; they do not appear to be detachable.
I was impressed with everything included with the headphones. The included USB and audio cables are red, which matches the headphones and is an impressive touch. The audio cable is just long enough to keep your phone in your pocked while connected. The USB cable is plenty long. A felt-lined faux-leather pouch is provided to store everything in. It would be awesome to get a soft-sided case (like Bose includes) rather than a leather pouch (though with Bose you are paying much, much more for everything).
Comfort (5/5)
These are *on-ear* headphones rather than over-ear, and have a closed back design. They isolate you from your surroundings very well. I found that these headphones were comfortable for me right out of the box. They didn't pinch or make my ears sweat excessively, even after 3-4 hours. That said, I think that *over-ear* headphones are even more comfortable than these, though over-ear phones tend to be a lot bigger and will make your ears sweat.
It often takes a good 20-40 hours to break in headphones, so I imagine they will feel even better in a week or two.
Overall Impression (5/5)
These are great headphones, with great sound and build quality. It seems that a lot of care went into designing them.

High end Gaming Headsets over Bluetooth are still improving.
Oct 18, 2013
By M. Hughes
I thought I'd done enough research, but I learned a lesson for those looking to buy new technology. There's never enough places to research. The more advanced the technology you want to buy the more you need to make sure it's correct, because the only place with this information was the product manual for the product I hadn't even bought yet! It's probably the only place that they say that the EVO Control Panel can't be accessed unless you're using the USB Cable. Both cables however can be used to charge the device as well, and the auxiliary cable can even be used to charge from the iPhone. (As a side note, a USB 3.0 port neither helps nor hinders use of the EVO Wireless) I'm a fair amateur when it comes to using high end headphones, but even then these had their flaws.
No wireless control panel support.
Mics rarely work over Bluetooth wireless connection if they work at all.
- I'm not sure if it was because it's dual mics, because the mics are located on the headphones themselves, or because the Bluetooth VOIP connection is just a bit questionable, but the mics
wouldn't work over Bluetooth, and when they did manage pick up something there was a delay which caused there to be breaks in the sounds. I was only ever able to get them to work through my
phone and only for a short time. When I tried to record from the computer it was a bit awkward to have to use a VOIP Bluetooth profile to record using the mics, but it would only ever
record mostly blank sound with weird clicking, and had the same effect when I tried to use them with Skype which they were meant to be used for. I also couldn't hear anything out of them
when I was using the VOIP profile.
A bit Pricey, but overall if the above hadn't happened I would have said it was a great price. Especially considering they have the sound equivalent to the Dr.Dre Beat of the same price range, but with far superior features.
It wasn't such a big deal for me, but you are required to install the online drivers for the headphones which comes with the control panel in order to use the wired connection to them.
I'm not sure where the hiccup was with technical support, but at least at first I was unable to see the battery life indicator on the control panel, even when I had them plugged in with the USB cable.
Excellent virtual 7.1 Surround Sound even though I would have preferred actual 7.1 surround sound like the kind found in the Logitech G930.
Good range for listening thanks to Bluetooth wireless which you won't find in the Logitech G930 which uses USB wireless.
The 40mm drivers certainly have a good sound to them and provide good quality and loudness.
Great design in my opinion.
Definitely comfortable, but considering I can wear ear-buds with no real problem, you should probably take that opinion with a few extra grains of salt.
Fairly durable, I've had them for a month before I recently decided to return them because I decided I was looking for something closer to the Logitech G930.
Bluetooth sound is actually pretty great over Bluetooth Wireless using the music listening profile, which is surprising considering you don't get the choice of using the control panel there.
The battery life is most certainly quite long, but I haven't had much of a chance to test it because I've been wanting to continue hearing the effects of the control panel!
Mic noise cancelling, voice effects, and all sorts of ways to change the type of sound you receive, including the virtual 7.1 surround sound, were all great parts of the control panel which can also be used with the other Creative EVO headsets.
Final thoughts:
Consider waiting for them to work out the kinks in the next edition of these before buying them.

Nice sounding headphones, and the wireless features are great!
Oct 17, 2013
By Michael O.
I'm kind of a headphone/headset junkie. I own numerous pairs of higher end headphones, and I seem to like each one best for different applications, like high fidelity music at home, or gaming, or paired with an iPod, etc. So I was pretty excited to see the Creative Sound Blaster EVO Bluetooth Wireless headphones show up on Amazon. Surprisingly, with all the headphones I have none are wireless. I've always read about the limitations of wireless cans such as static when you turn your head, and short battery life, not to mention just lackluster sound quality. But that was years ago, and I figured it was time to try out the technology today, especially with Bluetooth.
When I opened the Amazon box up, the first thing I thought was - wow, these EVO's are GREAT looking headphones! The presentation is very nice: black and red product box, with a clear window showing the headphones inside against a flat black background. I know the holidays are coming, and these will make a nice impression on Christmas morning for a gamer or music fan in your life. I think they look better than the photos on Amazon show. Mostly nice flat black and some shiny chrome, with a sharp looking red-lacquer ring, and red stitching around the black ear pads.
In all honesty though, they may look really nice but they feel a bit cheap - the plastics are somewhat thin and hollow. That's probably the trade-off for having to put the wireless electronics inside the headphones - you have to cut the weight in other areas to keep them from being too heavy. I've been using these for several weeks now, however, and they're holding up just fine. I don't get the impression longevity will be a problem, they are pretty sturdy overall.
I plugged them into my computer via USB and charged 'em up for the recommended 8 hours prior to use. First thing I wanted to do was try them out with my phone via Bluetooth. These are definitely nice enough looking headphones, and a great size (not too big) to use out and about. I don't have an NFC enabled phone so I wasn't able to test that connection feature, but manual Bluetooth pairing was a breeze and almost automatic. I really didn't expect it to be so fast and trouble-free.
The sound quality of these phones is AWESOME, too. It was so cool to be able to listen to my tunes in the doctors office the other day while I was waiting for my girlfriend. And NO WIRES getting tangled up! I put my phone back in my pocket, and adjusted the volume and skipped tracks right from the controls on the headphones. It was kinda' hard not to smile like an idiot when I was sitting there in the docs office - I just found it all so convenient - like this is how IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE! The sound quality (especially the bass response) is so much nicer than the in-ear headphones I usually use when I'm out.
They are fairly comfortable, though not really "plush", like some headphones I own. I've been wearing them for maybe an hour or so at a time and have only experienced slight discomfort once or twice. These rest ON your ears, as opposed to AROUND them like all my other headphones - so I had to get used to that at first.
While I was at the docs office I got bored sitting there listening to music, so I went outside to call my buddy. The hidden dual mics, along with the Voice Focus and Noise Reduction features did a very good job of cutting out background noise. I was outside in a busy urban area making the phone call and I could hear my friend pretty clearly. He said he didn't have any trouble hearing me with the exception of a slight echo at times. It felt so natural to have a hands-free and wire-free conversation like that. It was almost like talking to him in person - very cool. I guess you can also morph your voice using a Voice FX feature, but that seemed kinda' goofy to me and I didn't try it out.
I installed the included Sound Blaster EVO software on a Win 7 computer, and it was pretty straightforward. I tried out a few of the features mostly the SBX Profiles which let you make adjustments for better surround sound effects, vocals, bass response, volume compression, and cleaning up the sound from MP3's. Some settings helped a little, some a lot. When I'm bored someday I'll play around with the software some more, but I don't see myself using it very often.
Overall I'm quite pleased with these headphones so far. The wireless feature is really an innovation to me and I see myself using these mostly paired with my phone for music and as a wireless headset for calls. I took a star off for the somewhat cheap feel, and relatively high price of these headphones.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Republicans in the Oregon House are proposing that state workers pay 5 percent of their salary to cover health care costs.
The proposal is contained in a bill introduced Wednesday. State workers would pay between $50 and $500 per month, raising an estimated $69 million.
Proponents say the measure would help fill a $21 million gap in the budget for the Department of Corrections and could also provide money for schools. But opponents say employee compensation should be subject to collective bargaining, and state workers have previously given up pay increases to maintain free health care.
The Legislative fiscal office says the move would save the state about $69 million in a two-year budget.

Very cool character. What is his class?
I thought it was an alternate costume for Frog from Chrono at first.
A Bullywug character? Awesome!
Looks a bit like Vattu's friend.
This is fantastic, I love the style and the adventurous vibe he gives off.
Looks good, by from the little I've seen in D&D games, Charisma is one of the most valuable tools you'll need in D&D, did you get a high roll for his base stats?
Awesome. Reminds me of the Chrono Trigger character.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Senator Kay Hagan, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement Thursday after the Senate advanced a bill to strengthen sexual assault provisions.
"As a Senator from the state with the third largest military population in the country, I have spoken with too many servicemembers who have been affected by this crisis. While I am disappointed the Military Justice Improvement Act was not approved, I am pleased that the Senate is expected to pass a bipartisan bill on Monday that will better protect our servicemembers," said Hagan. �I am certain that this bipartisan legislation takes meaningful steps to ensure that our brave servicemen and women can focus on their mission rather than worrying about their personal safety while serving our country.�
The legislation that advanced in the Senate Thursday takes several steps to strengthen the sexual assault provisions in the NDAA, including:

"Good after a swat team of repair people came in"
We had some issues with this house that were for the most part addressed by Treasure Realty. I was impressed that they were able to engage so many repair people so quickly, but in all honesty, I was surprised that I needed to come in with a list of needed repairs (jammed exterior door, broken dishwasher, missing blinds) and basic equipment (including bathroom waste baskets, decent knives) at this price point. The only big one remaining was that the stereo receiver did not work. They could also really use a clothes line for wet bathing suits.
That said, the house itself is beautiful and has high end furnishings. We loved having a big dining room tables inside and out. Big tv. The decks are fantastic. The beach at the foot of the stairs is beautiful and quiet, great shelling if you love shark teeth, close to the bridge so you can run across for supplies in five minutes. Shrimp boats glide by in the morning, Ospreys fly overs in the afternoon, dolphins swimming off shore, turtle tracks on your morning run. Classic NC beach.
We used Ecological Marine adventures in Topsail and Herring Outfitters in Surf City for some excursions. Both are top notch.

Dear Sandy,
Thanks for your candid review. I am pleased to hear that you had a great stay despite the inconveniences you endured. Thanks for alerting us to those issues, so that we could take care of them during your stay. Sometimes, our inspectors may not catch these types of problems during an inspection or we may not have sufficient time between renters to address issues that an inspector may find. However, as you mentioned, we do our best to quickly resolve any issues once we are aware of them. Please accept my apology for the extra trouble. We appreciate your patience, and we will share your feedback with the owner.
Thanks for the excursion recommendations and for sharing your experience with us. It is our pleasure serving you, so please let us know how we might assist you in planning your next Topsail Island getaway: 800-762-3961.

"Great location"
Perfect location between Surf's City and Snead's Ferry. Large deck close to ocean (we often saw dolphins). Not luxurious, but adequate for the beach. The master bedroom is on the back of the house, so it does not have a beach view. We had a few maintenance issues, but most were addressed quickly.

"My Family Stay"
Check in & out were extremely easy. Treasure staff very nice during house selection. The house located at 4476 Island Drive needs lots of maintenance. The kitchen table on arrival was extremely dirty as were the house floors. Light bulbs were needing to be replaced. The aC vents need to be cleaned. Ants were numerous in the kitchen in several cabinets. Master bath door knob needed to be tightened. Hopefully we left the house in cleaner condition than we found on arrival. All considered we had a very nice time as the weather, surf, and family all cooperated. Cheers

Hi Larry,
Thanks for your review. I appreciate your kind remarks about the service you received from Treasure as well. We are happy to hear that overall you had a nice time, and we do apologize for the inconveniences you endured. I wish that you had notified us about the cleanliness of the home upon your arrival; we would have been glad to send a cleaning crew out to take care of that for you. In addition, had you let us know about the ants, we would have sent out an exterminator for you also. Please don't ever hesitate to contact our office during your stay, so that we can address any issues you may be having while you are here. Thanks for your feedback. Please give us a call when you are ready to book your next Topsail vacation: 800-762-3961.

"Awesome views"
Awesome view...that was the best part of this house. For a house that can't be too old, it was very tired. I spent the first day of the trip fixing door handles, the ladder s to the bunk beds and numerous other little fixes around the house. The beds were terrible, some folks in our group actually slept on the floor. To get to the beach you needed to fight your way through the sea grass that was growing through the steps. This house is in need of some TLC. Our family had a great time, but for the cost, I would have expected a much nicer home.

Reply from Owner: "As the new owner of this property, I'm deeply disappointed that you weren't satisfied with the property. In the last several months, we have taken several steps to improve the home and in turn, the enjoyment of our guests to include upgrading the furniture, television, and repainting the interior. Since those upgrades, this is the first negative review we've seen after numerous positive surveys. I spoke with the management company and they didn't have any indication of the issues during your stay. They would have been happy to come by and fix the issues you identified, you shouldn't have to do that yourself while you're on vacation! As for the beds, I'll reach out to other guests with that specific question as this is the first I've heard of that issue. My family and I have stayed there and didn't encounter that issue."

"Very disapointing"
The floors were dirty and sand was everywhere, the dishes in the cupboards and drawers were dirty, the dishwasher did not work (your cleaning crew put the dishes away), the headboard on the bed in the master bedroom was broken(every time you moved in the bed, it branged on the wall), there was no Bar-BQ,(the discription of the house said there was) and there was trash all around the property. There was a metal picnic table on the deck. One side of the seat was broken (we didn't find this out until it was sat on). It was very obviouse that this was a party house.
After our vacation was over, I wrote to you and told you about the problems we had with the house. Your responce was, that if we rented the same house again, you would give us a discount. Are you serious!!!
We have rented high-end homes from you 3 years in a row. The first 2 years were great. Beautiful homes of which we took very good care of. The last home at 4476 Island drive
was a huge disapointment. And your response was unbelievable.

"Great view, spacious living, well kept home and best realtors in"
My husband and I stayed for two weeks at this house and it was everything we wanted! My family has been coming to Topsail for 30 years so we know how important it is to stay in the right place. The walkway was very short, the deck was very large, the bedrooms are nice sizes ( with a wonderful Xl master bath) and it was spotless! The kitchen had more than the essentials with double of most pans and utensils. We had to call to fix a toilet seat and the dishwasher and Treasure came out on Memorial day to promptly fix the issues. Every major appliance was in prime condition which can definitely hinder a trip. We plan on returning to the same house this fall possibly with our dogs. The only concern is the house recently allowed pets and without a stringent cleaning policy may not consider if not bringing them. We loved the surround sound and 55" flat screen for late nights. Having 5 and a half baths is a plus for large groups! We also love this strip of the island since there is no close public access or second row houses so it's very quiet. Also, some parts of the island have no sitting area at high tide but that is not the case here. Would have uploaded pictures but couldn't for some reason! We hope that the owner stays involved and keeps the house in its great condition and look forward to return trips! We would appreciate to talk to the owner before we return so please e-mail us if you would! :)

"Great location, size, and layout out of house nice, but had issu"
We had issues with the house when we first arrived. House did not have a spring cleaning and even though the house was "cleaned" by housekeeping, it was still dirty. Called to have housekeeping return, which they did. All bedrooms needed new pillows and one bedroom had urine on bedspread and mattress pad. In my opinion, all the bedrooms could have used new mattresses. In the bedrooms with the twin beds, blankets had to be used on top of the mattresses for them to be halfway comfortable. Kitchen was not stocked with enough eating utensils, glasses,and cooking utensils. Floor in kitchen and dinning room had substantial gaps, which everyone had to be careful so no one would trip. I spent a good 5 hours cleaning and vacuuming, not just surface cleaning. Considering everything, we did have a good week. The only way that I would rent this property again is if the owner made necessary repairs and updates. I was also disappointed in Treasure Realty! I called and asked our representative to call, which she never did. I also wrote a strong review on our check out form, which I never received a response from anyone at Treasure.

Hi Kathy,
Thanks for your review from back in 2011. I am so sorry to hear that this home was not cleaned as it should have been upon your arrival. It sounds like the crew that was sent back out didn't quite get the job done either. I do apologize for that and the other shortcomings you experienced. Please accept my apology for our lack of response to your complaints. We are striving to improve on our service and communication, which is why we asked for your feedback. The best way to be considered for compensation is to complete a guest satisfaction report upon your departure. I'm not sure you received one of those, so I will forward your review to our customer service manager, Bill.
I am very happy to share that the owner has recently painted and put in a new large HD TV. He is putting down new carpet and adding new mattresses, comforters, flat screen TV's, kitchen table and chairs, living room furniture, and deck furniture. We will post pictures when the renovations are complete. We appreciate your patience and your patronage. Please let us know how we can assist you further: 800-762-3961.

I run Vista Premium using Word 2003 and Norton Internet security:
Since updating Last months updates and the various ones since, every time I
start up my computer it tells me that Windows Defender is not turned on; this
is getting a bit much having to turn it on every time I start up my computer.
This never uses to happen, so if anyone can tell me how to overcome this I
would appreciate it.
Thank you in anticipation,

And as the soft pretentious mountains
Glisten in the light of the trees
And the flowers sing in D minor
And the birds fly happily
We'll be together once again my love
I need you back, oh baby, baby
I can't explain just why we lost
It from the start
Living without you girl
You'll only break my heart
I can feel it, I can hold it, I can bend it
I can shape it and mold it
I can cut it, I can taste it, I can spank it
I can beat it, ejaculate it
I've been lookin' for day Glo
Always hearing the same old
You say, you want to be faithful
I can make it do things
You wouldn't think it ever could

"Overall, I am super impressed with this. The save the dates came exactly one week earlier than the promise date, and they are so awesome looking! It doesn't feel like a true postcard, with the shiny look and smooth feel, but it is pretty close. At the end of the day, I couldn't be happier."
"I loved the quality of this card. I ordered it in the extra thick paper and it is great quality. As far as the design though, I really wish I would have taken out the "//" (two slashes). The slashes mix in with out actual date and it doesn't look right. Other than that, no complaints!"
"We loved this product. the photo quality is perfect and we loved that we had the ability to design the wording/font. Delivery was within two days for standard and it even came in a pretty pink lined box. Everyone we have sent these out to have swooned over how great they look. we will definatly be using this website again."
"Perfect selection for our taste. Paper quality was great, however I would have liked more choices rather than super thick and shiny. Printing came out great, as well as font choices. I loved that I could personalize as much as I wanted but not too much and become overwhelmed. All my requests were met. Cannot wait to hear what my family says!"
"My fiancé and I looked at dozens of designs before agreeing on this one. We loved the way our cards turned out! They were easy to design and we appreciated the helpful hints from the design team (e.g., spell out California instead of using CA)."

At the Sunset Beach Nov. 17 workshop, council voted to carry over discussion of the procedure to fill a vacant council seat to Dec. 14. The motion that passed included provisions to delay the selection until January, allowing interested parties to submit resumes for the seat. There was a potential bomb in the discussion leading up to the vote. Councilman Lou De Vita wants the two recently ousted councilmen to participate in the selection process.
As I visited my grandmother's grave this holiday season, my flowers will have to lie on the ground because someone stole the bronze vase. All the vases have been stolen from this cemetery.
Not only would I like to see the person caught for stealing them, I would love to know who in the world is buying them. To be sure, they know they are stolen.
Ugh! Thieves!

Thank you to all who participated in the "Make It Bake It Sew It Grow It" charity auction held at Sea Trail Convention Center on Nov. 10.
The annual event, presented by Sea Trail Garden Club, raised about $10,000 this year. The monies will be directed to local charities in Brunswick County.
Following is an excerpt from an email Mayor Ron Watts sent to citizens he had heard from (myself included) regarding the appointment of a replacement for councilman Terry Johnson who conveniently resigned on Election Day: "It appears at this stage that a basic majority of three current council members intend to skip the recommendation of taking our time and establishing an application process, and instead plan to go ahead at Tuesday's work session and appoint Mike Williams to fill the two years remaining in the term of the open position."
Opinion writer Bill Satterfield of Sunset Beach hit a grand "slam" (pun intended) in last week's edition summing up the hows and whys of the highly contested selection process looming in Sunset Beach. Kudos also to those quoted in the (front page) story of the Towns section (Elaine Wright, Jim Thomas, et. al), for also being dead-on.
My husband and I moved here in April. We love this area and especially the beauty of being on the coast.
But when driving along U.S. 17, I get angry at seeing thousands of fire ant hills. I called the county about them and basically didn't get an answer. I realize we can't get rid of all of them, but can we try to decrease some? They seem to be multiplying by the millions.
I hope more people will complain and maybe something will get done.
T.J. May
During the Sunset Beach Town Council workshop on Nov. 17, former councilwoman Karen Joseph called out ordinary citizens for using "politics and false arguments" while expressing their opinions and feelings regarding the filling of a vacant council seat. This is a person who for the four years of her lone council term accused anyone who disagreed with her viewpoint of injecting politics into the debate. Apparently her "discussing issues" is "political posturing" when the other side does it.
I've had dogs all my life. They give you unconditional love. It ticks me off when I walk my dogs to see dog poo not picked up. I hear so many intelligent people knock dogs because of this. Anyone who has half a brain knows the dog can't pick it up and bag it. It's the owner's fault.
Someone is walking on Shoreline Drive and Azalea Circle in Sunset Beach with a large dog, judging by the size of the poo, and not picking it up. They even left it lying in the road at one spot. Doesn't look very nice.
Through the generous support of Brunswick County restaurants, businesses, sponsors, media partners, photographers, students, individual donors, agency partners and attendees, Communities In Schools of Brunswick County celebrated its 20th anniversary Nov. 5 by hosting an exciting Benefit Gala for Children.

In truth I usually need a 35 or 36 inch length but can often get by. I had to return these as 34" in this case didn't work out. Nice quality though. Other colors do come in a longer inseam not the dark tan though.

Doc at local VA Medical Center quit 'under duress' after blowing whistle
A former doctor at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Plains Township was removed from clinical work by his superiors after filing a complaint about on-call doctors not showing up to the hospital, according to a private watchdog group's report.
Thomas Tomasco, a doctor who worked at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, said he quit his job "under duress" after he raised concerns about the hospital's on-call policy, according to a report written by the Project on Government Oversight on Monday. Tomasco told POGO that on-call physicians would give consultations over the phone to emergency VA patients rather than come into the hospital, which he said delayed treatment of patients in need of immediate care.
On Aug. 27, 2012, Tomasco reported his concerns in an email to an attorney with the VA's Philadelphia Office of Regional Counsel. "We have notified our supervisors of this issue and nothing is done," Tomasco wrote in an email. The next day, Tomasco received a reply from the hospital's leadership justifying the practices. "It is the consultants [sic] prerogative to either come in or not and they have the legal responsibility for their decision thereafter," the email said.
The VA's Office of the Medical Inspector later reviewed Tomasco's claims and determined that the polices were legitimate. "Many facilities, both private and the VA have limited physician resources and their on-call practices are shaped by their available resources and transfer agreements," the Office of the Medical Inspector reported.
After raising concerns at the hospital, Tomasco was suspended for a day without pay in 2012 for allegedly unprofessional conduct. Tomasco contested the disciplinary action, and an appeals board found that "the charge was not sufficient to support the penalty" and the action was overturned, POGO reports.
After the suspension, Tomasco was removed from clinical service twice, and was allegedly forced to sit in an empty office with nothing to do for weeks. He resigned from the hospital on April 12, 2013.
Monday's report by POGO is based on comments and complaints filed by nearly 800 current and former VA employees and veterans.
Jason Cave, acting public affairs officer at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, could not immediately return comment on Monday, but said the hospital would release a statement today.

Here at Joomlashack its our continual goal to improve our customer experience. We have been taking careful note of suggestions you have all been making in our feedback board. We are please to announce the launch of Shack 2.0!
Better support, more tutorials, a better cart and access to template updates. Let me take you a brief tour of what we have waiting for you.
Just two weeks after its release on Joomlashack.com, more than 2,000 Joomla users have answered our first-ever Joomla Survey.
Joomlashack has many big questions about Joomla users that the survey will help answer, such as:
Is Joomla mostly used by developers?
Nearly half of all respondents have made changes to the code of a Joomla component or the core code of Joomla itself, with 57% claiming PHP programming knowledge.
Is Joomla easy to install?
0ver 80% of those surveyed say that installing Joomla on a server was so easy it took "a few minutes."
What other content managements systems do people use instead of Joomla and why?
32% of respondents say they have used WordPress, while only 11% have used Drupal.
Does Joomla make a good blogging platform?
Over 60% say they use Joomla for a blog site.
Take the Joomla Survey today and win free templates for life or a $100 Amazon gift certificate.
JoomlaShack is pleased to announce the addition of Christopher Baskind, Dave Childs and Steve Burge to the forum team.
Both Christopher and Dave have each volunteered many hours helping other community members and Steve is generous to offer his expertise on the SEO forum. Our forum grows stronger because of this type of great user-to-user support.
Thank you gentlemen. Welcome Aboard, we're glad you are here!
Take the Joomlashack Survey!
Got a few minutes? We'd like to ask you for a moment of your time. In return, we'll give you 30% off all of our commercial products and if you're lucky, you could win a $100 gift certificate to Amazon.com or free Joomlashack templates for life.
It's so easy for you to learn about Joomlashack, and yet we know so little about you, our customers and community. That's why we've created this survey, to help us gain some insight into the skills and needs of our customers and Joomla! users.
Read more or jump straight to the Joomla Survey questions *Survey now closed - thanks to all who took part now. We appreciate your participation.
Back in December we asked the Joomlashack community to nominate their favorite charity for our contest. In eight days you sent us over 110 nominations from worthy organizations from around the world. After a fascinating, fun, and difficult evaluation process, Team Joomlashack picked these five charities as our finalists.
And the runaway winner of the contest were the children of Casa do Caminho Orphanage, with almost 50% of the vote.
We need your help to give a deserving charity $1000 USD
Ready to vote for one of our five finalists? *Sorry voting is now closed
Back in December we asked you to nominate your favorite charity for our "Charity Starts with a Joomla Home(page)" Contest.
Now it's time for you to vote for the charity you believe is most deserving of a donation of either a free website design or $1000USD. We wish all five could win, but now you, our community, will decide.
Alleida are doing a series of interviews on various people from the Joomla world. I was flattered that Steve asked if I would take a shot. I did and discussed some of my thoughts about Joomla template design and Joomla SEO. Here is an excerpt from the interview
Last month Joomlashack announced it's first-ever Charity Starts at a Joomla Homepage Contest - where our community chooses a deserving charity to win a free Joomlashack Custom Website or a 1,000 USD cash donation.
NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED. Please check out our five finalists and vote for the most-deserving charity today.
Released December 22, 2006:
During this season of giving and goodwill toward our neighbors, Joomlashack's team asked ourselves, "what can we do to support important organizations that do good work to make the world a better place?"
Announcing Joomashack's Charity Starts at a Joomla Homepage contest - where our community nominates and chooses a deserving charity to win a free Custom Website or a 1,000 USD cash donation.
The second Dutch Joomla! Days will be held on December 8th & 9th 2006, in Den Bosch, The Netherlands. Day one will focus on Joomla! in business. The second day will be the Joomla! Community day. Several key Joomla! community members will attend the conference - among them six core team members and a surprise guest.
Our own Barrie North will be at the event, presenting a brief outline of some of the new features of template design in 1.5. If you are in the area, drop by and say hi!

i think the saddles should be switched on the Blue and CDale.
Frame should be all yellow, that blend job isn't to graceful.
"After all is said and done, a hell lot of a lot more is said than done."
Smarties > M&Ms
And dude what's with the mangled spoke they only cost a buck.
Though, yeah it's not the most beautiful fade job ever. That's the way it was made. Don't think I'll ever try to repaint it. When the time comes and I get sick of it, I'll probably sell it and get some other frame.
I dont like that you use a mtb stem on your track bike.
Jk, I love your bike.
that fade paint is ugly.

In the theory of viral eukaryogenesis I propose here, the eukaryotic nucleus evolved from a complex DNA virus. It is proposed that the virus established a persistent presence in the cytoplasm of a methanogenic mycoplasma and evolved into the eukaryotic nucleus by acquiring a set of essential genes from the host genome and eventually usurping its role. It is proposed that several characteristic features of the eukaryotic nucleus derive from its viral ancestry. These include mRNA capping, linear chromosomes, and separation of transcription from translation. In the model, phagocytosis and other membrane fusion-based processes are derived from viral membrane fusion processes and evolved in concert with the nucleus. The coevolution of phagocytosis and the nucleus rendered much of the host archaeal genome redundant since the protoeukaryote could obtain raw materials and energy by engulfing bacterial syntrophs/prey. This redundancy allowed loss of the archaeal chromosome, generating an organism with eukaryotic features. The evolution of phagocytosis allowed the eukaryotes to be the first organisms to occupy the niche of predator.

A retired Camp Lejeune marine is back home after a month-long mission to bring home missing in action troops from World War Two.
It's all part of the Bent Prop Project formed more than 20 years ago by a California doctor.
Retired Major Derek Abbey of Jacksonville joined founder and Dr. Pat Scannon on the mission. Anderson Cooper also visited the team in Palau this year for a 60 Minutes project after an unprecedented find of two WWII planes with as many as four MIA's.
Abbey says volunteers and the island of Palau understand the nearly 1,800 American troops who died there deserve to be honored. Abbey and a dozen other volunteers pay their own way to be apart of the project.
After Bent Prop finds the wreck sites, the military is responsible for recovering the remains. They've helped bring home at least 8 MIA's over the past 20 years and hope this year's mission brought home several more.

Oklahoma football: Top storylines for the Cotton Bowl
Here is a look at the top storylines heading into the Cotton Bowl:
* Conference realignment: Texas A&M was a founding member of the Big 12 Conference in 1996, but is now wrapping up its first season as a Southeastern Conference member. The Aggies won one Big 12 title in 1998 and was 5-11 against Oklahoma during their time as conference bedfellows. Texas A&M was impressive in its first SEC season, losing only to top-10 teams Florida and LSU, and pulling the upset of the year when it went to Tuscaloosa, Ala., and shocked defending national champion Alabama.
* Student vs. Teacher: Kevin Sumlin spent five seasons on Bob Stoops' OU staff; the last two, he was co-offensive coordinator. This will be Stoops' first bowl game against one of his former assistants who became a head coach. Stoops is 10-4 in regular-season games against former assistants (Stoops was 6-4 vs. Mike Leach, Texas Tech, and 4-0 vs. Mark Mangino, Kansas). Interestingly, one of OU's 2012 losses was to a former Stoops boss; he was defensive coordinator under Bill Snyder at Kansas State.
* Brandon Williams Bowl: Williams was a five-star running back prospect when he came to Oklahoma as part of its 2011 recruiting class. As a true freshman last season, he rushed for 219 yards on 46 carries. But the Brookshire, Texas, native left OU in December and joined the Aggies; he said he wanted to be closer to his young daughter. Texas A&M tried to get Williams a waiver for immediate eligibility this season, but the NCAA denied the request.
