This is so simple it is a cinch to make in a hurry, but putting a dab of water on the edges of the wrappers make the wonton wrappers seal better!
This has been put into my recipe book…WOW!!! Are these good.. I made them exactly to the recipe the first time and the second time I put in a table spoon of soy sauce and wouldn't do it again it made the cream cheese too soft. The third time I thought that one of the reviews was correct in saying there was not enough crab, not having more crab I kept the ingredients the same and only used two 8oz cream cheeses. That made it just the way we liked! The entire family was gaga over them and I plan to make them Christmas Eve again… a double batch so I can eat some too. these are the best been making them for two years now final i am adding a picture.
We eat rangoons out of a box almost every week. Decided to give this a whirl and was rather amazed how easy they are to make. Only made 1/4 of the recipe which yielded 15 of them, which was perfect for 2 people. I do agree with a comment about using a beaten egg to seal the edges...... makes it much easier. Will make a full batch and see how well they freeze. Great recipe!!
These were great and the kids loved, loved, loved them. I looked like a rock star!! Thanks!
I made these last night, and I have to say they tasted WONDERFUL. HOWEVER, unlike most of the posters here, the recipe made 110 rangoon at my house. But, the wonton wrappers I had weren't very big. I had enough to feed the 5 people that were at my house, took some to two of my aunts, and then took some to a few old co-workers as well. Everyone raved about them and asked for the recipe!!
oops i reviewed the wrong one and now i don't know how to delete it!
The ONLY reason there are four stars is because there's a healthier way to prepare these, and it still uses all the ingredients. I just sprayed muffin cups with cooking spray, then put the wonton wrappers inside, covering the sides of the cup completely, then put the crab mixture in each cup. Baking at 450 took about 8-10 minutes. Guess I'm just lazy -- no making sure the packets were stuck together with water, etc. They were really good, and we just LOVED this particular crab mixture -- just right! Thanks for posting, and hope you don't mind the different cooking method.
wow, people raved for these! It was somewhat a lot of work, but it came out great. I used real crabmeat from a can and also doubled the amount of meat, which another reviewer suggested. thank you
Love these!! Tastes a lot like my favorite local spot!! I use egg roll/spring roll wrappers instead of wonton wrapper though. It saves all the folding!!
This was a hit at our graduation party! I did change it up a little I used a 12 oz pkg of imitation crabmeat and then only 2 8 oz pkgs of cream cheese. The recipe wasn't clear on how much of the onion, so I used the bulb and about 3 inches up from it - it wasn't too much to overpowered the rest of the flavors. It made about 45 servings. Thank you for a great recipe!

These pillows are fantastic for our needs. We are stomach and side sleepers. Works great. Had them for about 2 years now and although they really flattened out I can't rio it from my husband!. So time for another two! Aren't you supposed to change pillows more often anyway!?
My daughter loves this pillow I find it way too heavy!
Started breaking down and clumping within a week. First time I have ever had such an issue with a Sealy product. They are now just sham pillows in spare room
Both my husband and I did not find these pillows soft enough. But if you do not require your pillows to be very soft these are quite adequate. I am more than happy to have them in my quest bedroom.
I got these pillows to replace the two I've used for years, these are very nice and have held their fluff for a long time.
Great Pillows they are not to much so when you wake up the next day you have a sore neck, great price for the quality!
Lost its plushness after a couple months. DO NOT BUY.
These pillows are decent only. Would not buy again. Just too firm and cause neck pain.
These pillows are everything and more if you constantly wake up on your stomach. My upper back/spine does not hurt anymore! And you cannot beat the price for two, plus they are machine washable!
Bought for my mother-in-law who is very particular. She LOVES them. They are also very beautiful looking pillows with elegant pink satin binding!
Nice quality and finishing touches. Very comfoprtable and not too firm which is what I wanted. Very satisfied with my purchase.
Excellant pillow,just what I wanted.Constructed well.
These are anything but soft! I acn't even use them. What a waste of my time, energy and money.
Very fluffy and comfortable. These soft pillows seem to give enough support. I had read that some people thought thet the "medium" pillows were too hard, so we decided to go with these.
These pillows were exactly what me and my bf were looking for. They gave great support and soft but not too soft. You won't go wrong with this purchase.
Did not work for me as too full for stomach sleeper. I have a very thin neck. Otherwise decent pillow quality.
Great color............................................................................................................................................................
Discription claimed to be great for stomach and side sleepers - this holds true! No neck ache or any other aches trying to break in a new pillow! Would recomend these pillows!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very Pleased - would order again
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate -
the pillows are soft so if you are looking alot of support it,s not there if your a stomach sleeper they are great again overstock.com had the best prices on the pillows
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? good
I purchased these pillows for my new home's guest room. I have had several guests comment on how comfortable and soft the bedding and pillows are. They are great quality and have worked out great for me and my guests!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The product looked exactly the same as the pictured items.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The Sealy pillows are of very good quality and met my expectations..
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate

CSX, in a fairly ambitious undertaking, brought out equipment, workers and contractors to do maintenance in replacing ties all along its tracks in Henry County during the week of July 18. CSX's equipment had to perform such tasks as grading rock, removing spikes, lifting the rails and putting down and placing the new ties under the tracks so the rails could be secured again. CSX brought in many different pieces of large equipment in on its own dedicated train.
Eminence Independent Schools don't shy away from making history and this upcoming school year is no exception.
Not only will the school be debuting its largest renovation project ever in the Edhub, students, parents and staff will be introduced to the district's first assistant superintendent, although many will already know him.
Thom Coffee, who previously served the district as the instructional supervisor, will now take on additional responsibilities and fill a role made necessary by exponential growth and changing needs for administrative support, said EIS Superintendent Buddy Berry.
Henry County will continue to live off its savings while facing a decline in EMS revenue and an increase in expenses to house inmates at regional jails, after a discussion about the county's tax rates at the July 19 fiscal court meeting.
Judge-Executive John Logan Brent shared a financial update with the magistrates after closing out the county's 2016 fiscal year at the end of June.
Two veterans approached representatives of the Henry County Fiscal Court and gave them an American flag at the July 19 county meeting. While there, the veterans asked for the magistrates' blessing to create an AMVETS post in New Castle.
Joe Whitfield and Jim Hogan say they need as much support as they can get in the community in their effort to create a non-profit, all-volunteer AMVETS chapter here to serve the needs of veterans in Henry, Shelby and Oldham counties, Whitfield indicated.

It's been a wildly indecisive week in Sportsworld.
At noon Wednesday, Kobe Bryant wanted to get as far away from the Los Angeles Lakers as possible -- Pluto, to be precise. By midafternoon, he was vowing that he never wanted to wear a uniform that wasn't purple and gold.
On Friday, Billy Donovan was wearing an Orlando Magic-inspired necktie (black and blue, a color scheme that aptly describes the franchise's post-Shaquille O'Neal existence) and being introduced to the next chapter in his basketball life. By Sunday night, he was pondering an exit strategy to go back to the Florida Gators.
This gives us an opportunity to ponder the politics of indecision.
Faced with major life choices, people change their minds all the time. That's why we have divorce lawyers and moving vans. Fortunately for most of us, we don't get interviewed on either side of a change of heart.
In sports, we're on a flip-flopping spree -- rife with public angst and providing endless grist for the 24/7 media mill. Some guys can't stay retired (Clemens, Roger). Some can't make themselves retire (Favre, Brett). Then there are the guys who cannot decide where they want to work.
Of the two recent switcheroos, Donovan's certainly seems more genuine and more understandable. He wasn't trying to manipulate, the way Bryant did, and he certainly wasn't going to war.
But Donovan's 180 is also more problematic. Signing a contract can put a guy in a bind, as Billy found out during a long Monday of maneuvering to get back to the college game he never should have left. Even for three days.
It could be an expensive weekend for Billy D. If he wants to be a Gator, he probably will be -- it's impossible to see the Magic perniciously locking in a coach who doesn't want to be there -- but there might be a penalty for breaking the $27.5 million agreement.
This follows an increasing trend in college coaching. Earlier this spring, Dana Altman jilted Arkansas after a day. Gregg Marshall dumped the College of Charleston last year after a day -- prompting the hiring of Bobby Cremins, who once went from Georgia Tech to South Carolina and back to Georgia Tech in a matter of days. Before Tim Floyd took the USC job, Rick Majerus accepted it, then backed out.
In the cases of Altman, Marshall and Donovan, they were looking at a big raise to leave a comfortable place for something largely unknown. They also were faced with making a big decision quickly, compressing the time to think. Perhaps when the adrenaline rush wore off, they realized that money wasn't going to buy them any more of the happiness they already had.
I'm guessing Donovan simply came to the wise realization that he has a great thing where he is. That he is wired for college basketball. That his family is at peace with its seasonal rhythms and demands. That he can build one of the great legacies in the history of the game. And that he is happiest when he is winning and will win a much higher percentage of the time at Florida than at Orlando.
So I can't blame a guy for following his gut instead of his wallet. Donovan will take some hits over this for breaking a deal and appearing so indecisive. (One buddy said they should change the name of the O'Connell Center to The Waffle House.) But there will be no long-term damage to his credibility -- certainly not with recruits who will see Donovan as more committed to Florida than ever.
At the very least, it might be a good long time before the NBA again flirts with Billy D.
At least Bryant entered into nothing legal and binding. All he did was spout off to anyone who would listen -- starting on the air with Stephen A. Smith -- about his disgust with Lakerkind and his desire to leave the only franchise he has known as a professional.
But the whiplash-inducing turnaround by Kobe also made his earlier tantrum smack of insincerity. Either that or he is so emotionally immature that he can rip someone one hour and pledge his undying loyalty the next.
Actually, what Bryant was doing boiled down to an assault on general manager Mitch Kupchak's job security. It was another example of a guy who wants everything his way, no matter how many people need to be displaced to accomplish it.
(Kobe's revelation last week that it was Jerry Buss who wanted to trade Shaq, not him, hardly merits an exoneration of Mr. Selfish. Breaking up the dynasty was still the conclusion Bryant wanted, as shown by the fact that he re-upped with the Lakers the day after that infamous trade of O'Neal to the Heat in July 2004.)
As silly as both men have looked in the past week, winning will cure everything.
Donovan and the Florida fans will love each other again when the inevitable 20 wins pile up and the NCAA Tournament bid is assured. The L.A. front office will scurry around bringing in complementary parts that will help the Lakers win more games (while not interfering with Bryant's 30 field goal attempts per night).
All will be forgiven and forgotten. Except in Orlando, where the Magic's non-Florida fans will despise Donovan forever, and in all the NBA cities that dreamed of landing Kobe Bryant.

I have an H.264-encoded mp4 file that I'm trying to get embedded into a Facebook post when the page that's serving it is Liked or Shared.
My understanding is that I simply need to have the right Open Graph
<meta> tags in place on the URL that's being liked/shared. However, I've tried several different sets of
<meta> tags and the video is still not embedding when I paste the URL into my Status Update and Post it. It does embed the image from the
og:image property, but clicking on the image just passes the user off to
When I use the the Facebook Debugger tool, here's what it displays for Raw Open Graph Document Information:
Meta Tag: <meta property="fb:app_id" content="000000000000000" />
Meta Tag: <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.testdomain.com/path/to/shared/page" />

Meta Tag: <meta property="og:video:height" content="300" />
Meta Tag: <meta property="og:video" content="http://static.example.com/flowplayer-3.2.15.swf?config=%7b%22clip%22%3a%22http%3a%2f%2fcontent.example.com%2fpath%2fto%2fvideo.mp4%3fv%3d0%22%7d" />
Meta Tag: <meta property="og:video:type" content="application/x-shockwave-flash" />

Meta Tag: <meta property="og:video" content="http://www.testdomain.com/path/to/shared/page" />
Meta Tag: <meta property="og:video:type" content="text/html" />
The values above have been replaced with dummy values, but they're all valid links.
Facebook seems to parse this out correctly, since it shows under Type of Share -> Video:
status: Video embedding on Facebook enabled
1: application/x-shockwave-flash
2: text/html
When I go directly to the flash player url (
http://static.example.com/flowplayer-3.2.15.swf?config=%7b%22clip%22%3a%22http%3a%2f%2fcontent.example.com%2fpath%2fto%2fvideo.mp4%3fv%3d0%22%7d), the video plays correctly (embedded in the flash player).
Things I've tried/considered:
Skipping the flash player
Originally I didn't even have a flash player in the
og:video list and was trying to just use the mp4 file first. Facebook didn't pick it up and treated the like/share as a plain link share.
At one point apps/domains had to be whitelisted before embedded video was allowed. This is no longer necessary. I haven't whitelisted my domain.
Some sources say that the flash player being used needs to be hosted over HTTPS. My research indicates this should only apply if the user is browsing Facebook over HTTPS, which I haven't been when testing.
I'm currently running some tests with an HTTPS-served flash player to see if anything changes.
Older tags
For the heck of it, I tried adding older Facebook
<meta> and
<link> tags (e.g.
video_src) to see if it would pick them up. It did not.
Cache refresh
I passed a
?fbrefresh=1 along with the URL in the Facebook Debugger to make sure the cached version of the URL got cleared. That did result in the newest meta information getting pulled in, but still no embed.
Since I've got the
video/mp4 fallback in my
og:video tags, I looked at my Facebook news feed in the iPad app. Excitingly, the thumbnail image had a little play button overlayed on it. However, touching the play button resulted in a redirect to the share URL instead of playing the video inline. Safari on the iPad had the same behavior (but with no play button overlay).
Document namespaces
I added the appropriate Open Graph / Facebook namespaces to my markup:
<html xmlns:og="http://ogp.me.ns#" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
<head prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# video: http://ogp.me/ns/video#">
But it didn't seem to have an effect. I don't think they're required.
Is there something that I'm missing here? I feel like a lot of resources I've found so far could be outdated since Facebook has changed their API several times, so it's possible that I've missed a newer requirement.
How can I get the video to embed and play back within the Facebook timeline?
Having a look at YouTube's
og: meta tags, the only differences I can spot are:
- YouTube's
og:videoare served from the same domain and subdomain (
www.youtube.com). Mine are served from the same domain, but different subdomains (media:
content.example.com, player:
static.example.com). Does the subdomain have to be the sam across all of the
og:meta information?
YouTube's share URL isn't a straight
.swfper se, but it is flash content:
rob@uvm:~$ curl "http://www.youtube.com/v/oHg5SJYRHA0?version=3&autohide=1" > yt % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 4242 100 4242 0 0 43522 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 55815 rob@uvm:~$ file yt yt: Macromedia Flash data (compressed), version 10
Just realized that one of my URLs is actually on a different domain. I have a feeling that's the culprit. I'm moving some stuff around now to try it out. I've updated my meta tag data above. Feel a bit sheepish for not making this observation up front.

While many artists who work on canvas require the canvas, a collection of brushes and other tools, and the paint itself (all materials of relatively small investment), in order to realize my images on canvas, I have to incur costly printing fees in order to ensure accuracy of color and sharpness of clarity. So, I find myself in a catch-22 situation; in order to print images in sufficient quantity to participate in a show at the level I would like, I need to sell more images to raise additional revenue. But, I cannot raise additional revenue without printing the images.
To assist, I have created a Kickstarter project so that I may be able to realize my first festival exhibition since 1993. I hope that will be able to contribute to the project. Although, if you cannot, perhaps you can at least help to spread the word about the project.

For my multi-project build, I'm trying to create a verify task that just results in scct:test and then scalastyle being executed in order. I would like scct:test to execute for all the subprojects, but not the top-level project. (If it executes for the top-level project, I get "timed out waiting for coverage report" from scct, since there's no source and no tests in that project.) What I had thought to do was to create verify as a task with dependencies on scct:test and scalastyle. This has turned out to be fairly baroque. Here is my Build.scala from my top-level project/ directory:
object MyBuild extends Build {
val verifyTask = TaskKey[Unit]("verify", "Compiles, runs tests via scct:test and then runs scalastyle")
val scctTestTask = (test in ScctPlugin.Scct).scopedKey
val scalastyleTask = PluginKeys.scalastyleTarget.scopedKey
lazy val root = Project("rootProject",
settings = Defaults.defaultSettings ++
ScalastylePlugin.Settings ++
ScctPlugin.instrumentSettings ++
ScctPlugin.mergeReportSettings ++
verifyTask in Global := {},
verifyTask <<= verifyTask.dependsOn(scctTestTask, scalastyleTask)
) aggregate(lift_webapp, selenium_tests)
lazy val subproject_1 = Project(id = "subproject_1", base = file("subproject_1"))
lazy val subproject_2 = Project(id = "subproject_2", base = file("subproject_2"))
However, the verify task only seems to exist for the root project; when I run it I don't see the same task being run in the subprojects. This is exactly the opposite of what I want; I'd like to issue
sbt verify and have scct:test and scalastyle run in each of the subprojects but not in the top-level project. How might I go about doing that?

Friday Finds and Favorites Hop #44
Hi everyone!! Happy Friday, and I hope you all had a great week!
Guys, I'm going to be honest with you right now. I have downright nasty, extremely callused feet! I used to run around barefoot as a child and teen, and to be truthful I often still do. It didn't really bother me, until lately, they started cracking and bleeding. Chunks of callus began to fall off. I know, super gross! I told my husband I was putting lotion on them regularly now, trying to fix them up. He decided to do some research online and find me a good foot cream. He ended up ordering me O'Keeffe's for Healthy Feet.
I really don't want to gross everyone out with a before picture, and an after picture wouldn't be that impressive without a before pic... but trust me guys, there has been a HUGE improvement. This stuff is amazing. And it's been making my hands much softer, just from applying it to my feet every day. So if any of you have rough feet, I totally recommend this, and it's pretty cheap too. I think it's around $7.
Alrighty, what was YOUR favorite thing this week? Link up your moments, finds, or just your favorite post of the week! Please pay a visit to my awesome co-host, Anna, and feel free to grab a button (optional). This hop will run all weekend. :)

Friday Finds and Favorites #41
As you guys may already know, my kids are all sensitive to gluten. Recently, my husband, Steven, decided to join them in eating gluten free. He's been thinking about it for a while, but the main thing holding him back? His love of Cheez-its, lol. So, I decided to try to find him a replacement. I got 5 different types of cheese crackers to test out, and here were our thoughts on all of them!
Milton's Craft Bakers Cheddar Cheese Crackers: I really liked them! I think they taste like toasty Cheez-its. Steven liked them too, but didn't think they were quite cheesy enough.
Wellaby's Cheese Ups: I like these. They are like pita chips but thinner. Steven liked the taste but didn't like their shape. They are puffed up so they have air inside, and he says that wastes bag space and makes them annoying to eat. (Lol, he is so critical!)
Glutino Parmesan Garlic Bagel Chips: Unfortunately, they didn't seem to have the cheddar flavor in stock, so we tried these. They were alright. Steven likes them, but I felt like they were too crunchy and also a little too flavorful.
Crunchmaster Baked Rice Crackers, White Cheddar flavor: I really like the flavor of these, it reminded me of white cheddar popcorn. And I'm not a fan of the texture of rice crackers in general, but I didn't mind these too much. Steven wasn't a fan of eating them plain, but said they were good for dipping.
Lance Cheddar Cheese Bite Size Sandwich Crackers: These were really good! I could not tell they were gluten free at all. Steven liked them but said they didn't really satisfy his craving for Cheez-its.
SO what's the verdict? We decided that Milton's crackers were the winner! And since I really shouldn't be eating any of these because of my dairy allergy, I also found a vegan cheese cracker!! Earth Balance Vegan Cheddar Squares are delicious; I honestly like them better than Cheez-its. (Note, these are NOT gluten free, just dairy free!)
Alrighty, what was YOUR favorite thing this week? Link up your moments, finds, or just your favorite post of the week! Please pay a visit to my awesome co-host, Anna, and feel free to grab a button (optional). This hop will run all weekend. :)
ATTENTION! WE ARE LOOKING FOR 2 NEW FFAF CO-HOSTS. Please comment and let me know if you're interested!! Have a great weekend, everyone! :)

I want to get a count of all my Offer entries for this month. At the moment I use this to make the count:
@offer_count = Offers.find_all_by_accepted(false).count
This works fine, but as you can see it does count all my entries. So my question is how can I change this to only get the count of the entries of this month.
Also I would like to have the possibility to duplicate this and find all my Offers of an specific month. Like get all offers with accepted false and created in January.

(AP) The Minnesota State Fair plans to limit open air smoking on its 320-acre property beginning this year.
Smoking has already been prohibited in fair buildings and in entertainment seating areas, such as the grandstand. Smokers could light up in any other outdoor spaces until now.
Fair spokeswoman Brienna Schuette there will be outdoor designated smoking areas. But, Schuette says how many areas and where they will be located are details that still need to be finalized before the fair begins Aug. 22.
Schuette tells the Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/V7ix90 ) that managers have been studying how other fairs handle smoking. The new policy follows an incident last year in which a 2-year-old girl from Graceville was accidentally poked in the eye and injured by a burning cigarette.
(AP) Agriculture experts say the biggest wildcard in predicting Wisconsin's crop production this year is moisture.
Last year's drought was severe enough that most fruit and vegetable crops were hit hard. The crops that fared well were largely those that could tap into water reserves deep in the soil.
This year those water reserves are partially depleted, and it would take about 12 inches of rain statewide to replenish them. Less rain could also be adequate, but even so crop experts say they're straining to find reasons for optimism.
Rainfall was below average in November, and December through February are traditionally Wisconsin's three least rainy months.
Experts at an agricultural forum in Madison said Wednesday the crops at greatest risk from another prolonged drought are corn and soybeans.
(AP) Gov. Scott Walker plans to deliver his budget address to the state Legislature on Feb. 20.
Walker notified the state Senate on Wednesday that he intends to deliver his budget on that date.
Walker has been talking about some parts of his two-year spending plan for weeks, but has not revealed many details. On Tuesday he said he hopes to include an income tax cut of around $340 million over two years.
Once Walker delivers his budget to the Legislature, Republicans in control will convene public hearings, discuss the plan and make changes before bringing it to a vote most likely in June.
The prize was in front of the La Crosse public library, but it took a week before anybody found it...
Now, the La Crosse Winter Rec-Fest Medallion has been discovered by Paul Hoch of West Salem, and he claims the 500-dollar cash reward for this year. Hoch did plenty of research on the clues, before seeing the medallion in brush along Main Street on Tuesday. A clue about a 'Wisconsin profession' referred to Farmers, and several lines in the clues were quotes from famous books. The final unpublished clue mentions the library and a Main Street bush. Hoch also found the Oktoberfest medallion in 2011, and says the clues in the Rec Fest hunt were harder.

See coment above. Additional comment..easy to use and not overly heavy.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? OK
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Product worked as described. It is good for a quick mop of floors with a lot of traffic: kitchens, bathrooms, etc
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate
I have hardwood imitation flooring, and it was such a pain to sweep and mop, now with this steamer, doing the floors is fun. Cleaning the bathroom is fun and easy. No more cleaners to buy. It does so much better than a regular mop. A must have for sure.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Identical
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The product is well made and easy to use.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Spot on 100% Accurate.
steam no chemicals,pet friendly,people friendly,the best cleaning i have ever experienced.it comes with the attachments for virtually any cleaning job.it will clean away grime grease stains from fabrics,walls ,floors
Love this steamer. Makes cleaning the floors a breeze. No major complaints
Looking forward to using it...
A great product use it all the time. I love my shark.
I received this "refurbished item" I believe without it being actually refurbished. The clip for the power cord was busted off and the cleaning head clothes were dirty. Obviously the product had been used and returned. That being said before I asked for a return I tried it and loved it!!!! It is amazing whether using it as a mop or as a handheld steam cleaner. I love it on my floors, my shower walls and doors, I even use it to steam my blinds and clean my ceiling fan blades! It's easy to change out the devices and when I'm finished using it I simply take off the cloth's and wash them in the washing machine!
Can't say enough about this steamer. Tough dirt and stains come off tile with ease and it's great to know I can clean and sanitize without harsh chemicals. Also comes with steam handle so I can steam out wrinkles in curtains and clothes.
Spectacular results. Easy to use. Actually cleans better (more evenly) than hand scrubbing and so much easier. Some stubborn old stains may still require some old fashioned spot cleaning by hand.
It's okay. Great for the kitchen tile floor but not so much for wood floors. Streaks.
Excellent value, have used several times and am completely satisfied. Works well on wood and tile.
One of the greatest things i have ever used.
It seems to be working, so far, but I can steam the floor and if someone spills something, even water, when I wipe it up, the cloth is dirty. I don't feel like it's doing the job, I wold like it to do. When I received the steamer, I noticed it didn't have the measuring cup that it used to fill the steamer, it wasn't listed on the parts list. I had one from a previous steamer, but if this is someones first steamer, it would be hard for them to fill it.
Good product and great design better than many
I love that the steam cleaner is so light and will even fit in behind my toilet in my very small bathroom. I have even used it on my hardwood floors and they look great. When you use this cleaner you know your floors are clean.
I was so excited to get this mob.. it left streaks tho, no matter what we did. I was sad to return it.
Better than all the others, worth paying a little extra
This mop exceeded my expectations beyond belief and i am very happy with the purchase. It is easy to use. I feel like it does a wonderful job sanitizing and cleaning my floors.This is a must have product. My first floors were engineered and now they are oak. The steam mop works wonders on both.
The problem may be that it's a refurbish Shark, either way, I think it should have lasted longer. Only five months of use is not worth the money I paid for it. Too bad it only carried a 30 day warranty. I'm disappointed.
The steam mop works pretty good on my wood floors. In my vacation rental, the last guest had played beer pong in the house. uSE YOUR IMAGINATION! well, it got it all up. Mind you that it is not a miracle worker for floors that have been left for years. The cord is nice and long. The mop is ready to work in about 30 seconds or less. I really like the 3 different settings. I DO wish that it came with a mesh bag? to store the attachments. The rug glide arrived broken. The replacement is supposed to be coming.

Johnny Got His Gun (1971)
Plot Summary
Joe, a young American soldier, is hit by a mortar shell on the last day of World War I. He lies in a hospital bed in a fate worse than death --- a quadruple amputee who has lost his arms, legs, eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He remains conscious and able to think, thereby reliving his life through strange dreams and memories, unable to distinguish whether he is awake or dreaming.

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"Kwan's rollicking, often-riotous debut novel, Crazy Rich Asians, reads like a behind-the-scenes primer of the rising über-elite of the ever-powerful Asian world . . . . the reader is given an intimate window into the spending and investing patterns, and burgeoning and crumbling relationships of this upper echelon of extraordinary wealth . . . an entertaining, engrossing novel . . . a lively, generous story of shallow extravagance and human devotion."
—S. Kirk Walsh, The Boston Globe
"Crazy Rich Asians has all the plot and color of a tabloid mag, set in Asia. This means that front doors are cathedral sized, millions are now billions and shopping is, as one character puts it, 'Fifth Avenue on steroids' . . . Put on your designer shades, stuff an umbrella into your drink, and lose yourself in the antics of people who cheat on their husbands with secret overseas shopping trips. By the time you've finished you should have a rich, golden tan."
—Emma Keller, The Guardian (UK)
"A debut novel that sheds light on the gilded world of Asian wealth and shopping culture that most Westerners only catch glimpses of."
—Sarah Hampson, The Globe and Mail (Canada)
"Deliciously decadent . . . Rachel, an American-born Chinese (ABC), has no idea what to expect when she visits Singapore to meet her boyfriend Nick's multibillionaire family. There, she discovers mind-blowing opulence--next season's couture, palatial properties, million-dollar shopping sprees--and the over-the-top bad behavior that comes with it . . . This 48-karat beach read is crazy fun."
—Stephan Lee, Entertainment Weekly
"There's rich, there's filthy rich, and then there's crazy rich . . . A Pride and Prejudice-like send-up about an heir bringing his Chinese-American girlfriend home to meet his ancestor-obsessed family, the book hilariously skewers imperial splendor and the conniving antics of the Asians jet set."
"When Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians has a mother in Singapore telling her girls to finish everything on their plates because 'there are children starving in America,' it's O.K. to get the joke. There's no need to dwell on what it really means. Crazy Rich Asians is this summer's 'Bergdorf Blondes,' over-the-top funny and a novelty to boot. Mr. Kwan delivers nonstop hoots about a whole new breed of rich, vulgar, brand-name-dropping conspicuous consumers, with its own delicacies, curses, vices, stereotypes ('I hope she's not one of those Taiwanese tornadoes!') and acronyms. According to Mr. Kwan, this crowd uses U.B.C., as the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, is known, to mean 'University of a Billion Chinese.' How rich and vulgar are the Anglophile Asians of this debut novel? Rich enough to throw a diamond of more than 30 carats into a snowdrift and not look for it. So vulgar that a Cirque du Soleil troupe has to show up to convey that things have gotten crass. So steeped in wretched excess that one man boasts about the precise temperature his climate-controlled shoe closet should be."
—The New York Times Beach Reading Roundup
"Mr. Kwan's delightfully soapy debut, [is] set in the glamorous beau monde of Singapore—'the Switzerland of Asia'—with excursions to Paris, Hong Kong and a private Indonesian island . . . It's through Rachel, the wide-eyed interloper, that we view the extravagances of this 'secretive, rarefied circle of families . . .' Mr. Kwan's book eats its chiffon cake and has it too, simultaneously tut-tutting many of its characters for their vapid materialism while reveling in the milieu's sybaritic excess . . . Mr. Kwan skillfully engineers a good-natured story in which Rachel must overcome the schemes of Nicholas's disapproving mother."
—Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal
"Crazy Rich Asians is like Dynasty on steroids with more private jets, bigger houses, and a lot more money. It is the very definition of a beach read. I finished it over a weekend and by the end was longing to see the ridiculously extravagant and over-the-top world that Mr. Kwan had created.... I predict this will be the 50 Shades of Grey of this summer."
—Michael Carl, VanityFair.com
"Crazy Rich Asians is both a deliciously satiric read and a Fodor's of sorts to the world of Singapore's fabulously monied, both new and old."
—Sherryl Connelly, New York Daily News
"Kwan is a modern-day Jane Austen, never mind gender or ethnicity, because he is writing about the same human pride and prejudices that consumed Austen 200 years ago. In this comedy of manners about star-crossed lovers fighting against class distinctions and family pressures, the comparison between the Bennets, Bingleys and Darcys of 18th-century England and the Chus, Leongs and Youngs of 21st-century Singapore is most appropriate . . . Kwan comes across as an Asian Tom Wolfe . . . easily transports captive readers from Sex and the City New York and to sensual Singapore, lush with flowers, savoury with food, luxurious with designer labels and glittering jewels. But beneath all this is the cruel menace of old money and unyielding traditional family mandates that aim to prevent the characters from living life according to their own desires."
—Christine Mazur, Winnipeg Free Press
"It's impossible not to get sucked into this satirical novel about the jet-setting lives of an enormous busybody family and its infinite Louboutin collection."
"Kwan's book was not nominated for a Booker, but if you want to peek into the world of wealthy Southeast Asian-Chinese elites, if you want to understand what drives these people who control the economy of a major cross-roads of the world, Kwan's book is the one to beat."
"An entertaining and well-written book about the life of the Chinese super-rich, a new class who are keeping alive five-star hotels, restaurants and luxury shops around the world . . . The wealth of the book is in the detail—of the personalities, the places, the clothes and the colours of Singapore, Kwan's native place."
—Louise Rosario, South China Morning Post
"Read Kevin Kwan's debut, Crazy Rich Asians, on an exotic beach in super-expensive sunglasses . . . [Rachel] encounters outré fashion, private jets, and a set of aristocratic values so antiquated they'd make the Dowager Countess proud."
—Entertainment Weekly Summer Roundup
"With his debut novel, [Kwan] delivers an uproarious, comical satire about a jet-set life that most of us can only imagine. It's a page-turner that will leave you wanting more."
—Claudia McNeilly, Hello! Magazine (Canada)
"Mordantly funny . . . In Kevin Kwan's winning summer satire, Crazy Rich Asians, a young woman discovers her boyfriend belongs to a milieu of unimaginable splendor—and snobbery."
"Deliciously decadent . . . Rachel, an American-born Chinese (ABC), has no idea what to expect when she visits Singapore to meet her boyfriend Nick's multibillionaire family. There, she discovers mind-blowing opulence--next season's couture, palatial properties, million-dollar shopping sprees--and the over-the-top bad behavior that comes with it . . . This 48-karat beach read is crazy fun."
—Stephan Lee, Entertainment Weekly
"There's rich, there's filthy rich, and then there's crazy rich . . . A Pride and Prejudice-like send-up about an heir bringing his Chinese-American girlfriend home to meet his ancestor-obsessed family, the book hilariously skewers imperial splendor and the conniving antics of the Asians jet set."
"Crazy Rich Asians is like Dynasty on steroids with more private jets, bigger houses, and a lot more money. It is the very definition of a beach read. I finished it over a weekend and by the end was longing to see the ridiculously extravagant and over-the-top world that Mr. Kwan had created . . . I predict this will be the 50 Shades of Grey of this summer."
—Michael Carl, VanityFair.com
"A juicy, close anthropological read of Singapore high society and its social and mating rituals . . . Kwan's satirical portrayal rings so true, I fear he'll need to bring a bodyguard next time he lands at Changi Airport. He gets the idiosyncratic details right: the market-savvy wives who day-trade and invest in poverty; . . . the encyclopedic fashion knowledge; the Bible-study get-togethers; the way the whole milieu is interrelated by blood or marriage. And he does a particularly good job of illustrating the divide . . . between mainland wealth and establishment money—an uneasy tension that is very real."
—Janice Y. K. Lee, Elle
"Jane Austen, or maybe Edith Wharton, goes to Singapore, turning in this lively, entertaining novel of manners. . . . Kwan's characters are urban sophisticates par excellence . . . A diverse set of characters and a light, unstrained touch move Kwan's story along. . . . An elegant comedy and an auspicious debut."
—Kirkus (starred review)
"Merit[s] a place on the must-read list of every development exec in town . . . Aimed at Bridget Jones lovers and those who got the satire behind Psy's Gangnam Style."
—Andy Lewis, Hollywood Reporter
"High-quality first-time fiction . . . [An] instant favorite . . . Opulence and zaniness reign when one of Singapore's richest bachelors invites his American-born girlfriend to travel from New York to vacation in his native country."
—O, The Oprah Magazine
"Kwan's debut is a fun, over-the-top romp through the unbelievable world of the Asian jet set, where anything from this season is already passé and one's pedigree is everything. . . . A witty tongue-in-cheek frolic about what it means to be from really old money and what it's like to be crazy rich."
—Publishers Weekly Pick of the Week
"Kwan's debut is a scintillating fictional look into the opulent lives of fabulously wealthy Chinese expats . . . From its delightful opening scene onward, this sleek social satire offers up more than a few hilarious moments as it skewers the crafty, rich schemers who populate its pages."
—Kristine Huntley, Booklist
"Crazy Rich Asians is an unputdownably funny, original, modern novel. An outrageous satire of the Asian squillionaire set, this book is like a Chinese Dallas meets Pride and Prejudice. The combination of gold homewares, couture, private jets, absurd social rules and snobbery is utterly hilarious. I actually couldn't put this book down to eat or to watch Downton Abbey."
—Plum Sykes, bestselling author of Bergdorf Blondes
"As spicily adventurous and lusciously satisfying as the renowned Singaporean street food Kevin Kwan's characters argue over; hot and sizzling, like the best satay, and dreamily transporting, like everyone's favorite dessert--goreng pisang. Feast on this outrageously funny and insightful novel of modern manners, and enjoy!"
—Lisa See, bestselling author of Dreams of Joy and Shanghai Girls
"Crazy Rich Asians is a shrewd, funny, sexy look at the spoiled jet-setter children of the Asian super-rich. It is at once a love story and a potent combination of vintage Jackie Collins and early Evelyn Waugh, everything you wanted to know about young people who have more fun, style and money than is good for them, and don't care a bit. A stunning debut."
—Michael Korda, bestselling author of Charmed Lives and Queenie
"Original and fun, Crazy Rich Asians is quite a roller coaster trip. I loved it!"
—Jackie Collins, bestselling author of The Power Trip

That's the set-up. The setting is high society in Singapore, where the elite spend tens of thousands on their clothes and millions on their houses and apartments. At first I thought I wouldn't like this novel. It felt like a sitcom poking fun at rich people mired in conscious consumption, and not much more. But my advice is to stick with it, if you have that reaction. There is a story, and it's a good one, with lots of shocks and surprises in store for the reader.
There's a multitude of characters. Nick's circle is well stocked with loudmouth uncles, eccentric aunts, obnoxious cousins, complex friends, and nasty ex-girlfriends. Kevin Kwan portrays them like one who knows them first hand. I wonder if he does.
There's also an engaging subplot involving Nick's nice cousin, and some amusing peripheral dramas, giving the narration a satisfying complexity. I felt like a fly on the wall in a world of obscenely extravagant parties, private jets, exclusive designers and rare orchids. Kwan's background in celebrity journalism and design makes him good at describing over-the-top décor, to-die-for couture, and world-class gossips.
Crazy Rich Asians is a fun novel. I've never encountered anything quite like it, except maybe in Balzac.
But author, Kevin Kwan, missed so many opportunities. The book isn't overly long-403 pages-but he simply tried to cram too much in here, and as a result I was left feeling force fed, and yet still hungry.
Nick is from THE family on 'the island' in Singapore, and yet he's in NYC trying to build something for himself with his beautiful, smart girlfriend Rachel. When his best friend decides to marry, Nick convinces Rachel to fly with him to Asia for the summer. And here is where you know things COULD get wild. The type of wealth Nick grew up with is simply beyond most people's comprehension. (MILLIONS of dollars on couture clothing every season) We know Rachel is in for the shock of her life, and yet just as I think we're going to experience how shell shocked Rachel really is, Kwan skips to the next chapter and along with that other characters.
Storylines are left dangling, and that leaves me wondering why I bothered to get invested in the characters in the first place? IF this is going to be a series, that's one thing, but I haven't been able to find any verification on that.
With all that being said, it's the ending that left me, well, annoyed. Here I am waiting for Rachel or Nick to lay into Nick's meddling family, one of the nasty girls that peppered the story..something....and then...nothing. The book ends on a somewhat happy note, but the characters that deserved a 'good talking to'...nothing.
As a reader, I was left high and dry, and after devoting myself to 400+ pages, I wanted a more concrete resolution.Read more ›
As I was reading the book I found myself casting the film in my head and hearing the voice of each character. That's always a good sign when I am reading. This novel reads cinematically, and I do hope someone options the film rights so I can see all these scenes come to life on a bigger screen than inside my head.
Buy this book and set aside some time. It is extremely difficult to put down once you pick it up.
My favorite fiction authors are Tennessee Williams, Plum Sykes, Pat Conroy, Emily Giffin, Anita Shreve, Gregg Hurwitz, and, if he keeps this up, Kevin Kwan!

The 9th ISMM conference covered a very diverse collection of papers, bound together by the central themes of mathematical morphology, namely, the tre- ment of images in terms of set and lattice theory. Notwithstanding this central theme, this ISMM showed increasing interaction with otherelds of image and signal processing, and several hybrid methods were presented, which combine the strengths of traditional morphological methods with those of, for example, linearltering.This trendis particularlystrong in the emerging field of adaptive morphologicalltering, where the local shape of structuring elements is det- mined by non-morphological techniques. This builds on previous developments of PDE-based methods in morphology and amoebas. In segmentation we see similar advancements, in the development of morphological active contours. Even within morphology itself, diversification is great, and many new areas of research are being opened up. In particular, morphology of graph-based and complex-based image representations are being explored. Likewise, in the we- established area of connectedltering wend new theory and new algorithms, but also expansion into the direction of hyperconnectedlters. New advances in morphological machine learning, multi-valued and fuzzy morphology are also presented. Notwithstanding the often highly theoretical reputation of mathematical morphology, practitioners in thiseld have always had an eye for the practical.
