My doctor prescribed me bactrim ds for mrsa. The directions are 2 twice a day. Is that a normal dose?
Yes, it can be: For MRSA (methicillin resistant staph aureus) infections, 2 ds (double strength) tabs 2x per day are often an appropriate dose. This dose is used in adults and is typically based on weight and size of the patient. Mrsa is not an infection to take lightly and properly treating this is very important. ...Read moreGet help now ›

Partially resistant: Ca MRSA is not particularly worse than having regular staph infection. It is not related to the flesh eating bacteria scare. The choice of antibiotics is limited, but generally the infection is sensitive to at least a few of the mainstream antibiotics of which Bactrim is one.

Sounds good: Mrsa is a scary bug but there a great many different strains and many folks harbor them on their skin with no harm.

Survey Reveals the Study Habits of Top Standardized Test Takers

What does it take to get a top score on a standardized exam? The test prep experts at Magoosh surveyed more than 400 students who scored in the top 10% for the GRE, GMAT, SAT and ACT, and have shared those results with us so that our readers and clients put their best foot forward when it comes to preparing for this important component of the MBA application.
Here are the biggest takeaways from what they learned about the way top scorers prepare for test day:
- Top scorers prefer to study alone. 98% of students said they chose to study alone instead of with friends or a group.
- They don't break the bank. 88% of respondents said they spent only $300 or less on their test prep. A majority also reported that they performed better on the exam than they thought they would.
- They study for at least a month. 84% of respondents studied for a month or longer.
- They don't cram. 71% of respondents said they gave themselves a break the day before the exam instead of studying to the last minute.
- They don't listen to music while studying. 63% of students said they chose to study in complete silence, while only a few chose to listen to classical music or white noise.
- They have a regular workout routine. 68% of respondents said they hit the gym or exercised at least 1-2 times a week while studying.
- They aim to take the test once. 68% nailed their top scores the first time they took the exam.
Most Common Advice From Top Scorers:
Develop a routine and stick it to it. Many students from the survey said you should work a strict study schedule into your daily routine. Give yourself 3-6 months to study so you can spread out your prep time. Studying more than that might wear you out, while studying less might inadequately prepare you for test day. You can keep yourself from burning out by limiting yourself to no more than four hours of study in a single day.
It's not the number of questions you practice, but how much you learn from each question that counts. Top scorers from the survey said that while studying, you should be mindful of the mistakes you make. Take time to learn from every question, and don't rush through them. Several top scorers from the survey also mentioned that they kept a log of their errors to help them learn and move on from each mistake.
Focus on your weak spots. Do a diagnostic test, review your answers and determine the types of questions you struggle with. Make it a point during your studies to focus on those weaknesses, then practice those question types until approaching and solving them feels automatic.
And finally…
Pay attention to timing. It's not enough to just know how to approach a question; you need to be able to complete it accurately under time constraints. At the beginning of your studies, you should work through questions slowly and develop your technique, but as you near the end you should start timing yourself to prepare for the realities of test day.

Which Test Should I Take – GRE or GMAT?

Guest post by LA Tutors 123
Decisions, decisions. Now that most business schools accept either the GMAT or the GRE as part of your application, which standardized exam would be better for you to submit? Is the GRE easier? Do admissions committees like the GMAT more?
First, let's take a look at each of the exams. There are ways that the GRE and the GMAT are alike and ways that they are different. For example, in the United States, both tests are taken on a computer and adapt to your skill level. They both have writing, quantitative, and verbal sections. Also, sitting for either the GRE or the GMAT can consume your entire morning or afternoon: the total time is almost four hours for each test, plus breaks.
However, there are differences between the exams. The GRE currently costs $195, while the GMAT fee is $250. Furthermore, the quantitative and verbal sections aren't the same on each test, and neither is the scoring. On the GRE, in addition to a Writing score from 0 to 6, the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections are each scored from 130 to 170. On the GMAT, there is also a Writing score from 0 to 6, but there is also an Integrated Reasoning score of 1 to 8, and a Total score from 200 to 800, which combines the Quantitative and Verbal results.
Confusing, isn't it? To simplify this issue, you should take a diagnostic test or practice exam for the GRE and for the GMAT to see which one you feel more comfortable with and which you think you can perform better on.
Second, ask your schools which exams they take and which exam they prefer. Talking with the admissions officers at your business school is a good idea anyway, to let them know who you are and why you're interested in their particular MBA programs. It will also give you insight on how they view the GRE and the GMAT, especially in regards to your application.
Which leads us to our third issue: how your exam choice and score will fit into your overall package. If you didn't take many math classes in college, or you don't do much quantitative analysis in your career, getting a good score on the GMAT could enhance that area of your application. On the other hand, if you think you can do considerable better on the GRE than on the GMAT, then the GRE might be your best course of action.
The truth is, your test score is only one part of your application. Plus, if you're making a conscious decision to study for either the GMAT or the GRE, then you're already ahead of the game. The key to success on either exam is advanced preparation. Start crafting a plan today; you'll have more confidence about whatever choice you make, and more confidence on test day.
Ultimately, it's up to you. Do your research, and then decide. And if you need assistance, either with making a choice or getting prepared to take your exam, LA Tutors can help. For more information, click here, or call 866.60.TUTOR to be matched with your own personal instructor.

Fit the GMAT Into Overall MBA Application Strategy

This post originally appeared on Stacy's "Strictly Business" MBA Blog on U.S.News.com
Just about every MBA candidate needs to submit a GMAT or GRE score as part of their business school admission package, but not everyone has a clear grasp on when and how the exam fits within the context of the whole application process.
In an ideal world, you would take the test just coming out of college, while you're still in study and test mode as a recent student. Since both GMAT and GRE scores are valid for five years, getting the exams out of the way years in advance would free you to focus on all of the other elements of the application.
If, like most applicants, you didn't have the foresight to take the exam right after college, the next best step is to plan your application strategy so that the GMAT is finished before you finalize your list of schools. Your score isn't everything, but it is an important part of the admissions equation.
If you bomb the exam and can't improve your score, you may need to reassess your target schools to include less-competitive options. Conversely, you may be able to add one more reach school if the score was higher than expected.
Round one of business school admissions is about four months away at many schools, and if you still need to take the GMAT, you have a lot of work ahead of you. Unless you're a natural at taking standardized tests, you'll need to train your brain to get it back into test-taking form.
Most applicants devote at least 100 hours to test preparation, and depending on where you are in the process, you may have to take a prep class and perhaps take the test more than once. If this is the case, the first round may not be a realistic option unless you're able and prepared to completely immerse yourself in the process.
One client, Tasha, came to us just five weeks before the round she was targeting with some idea of her school choices and a GMAT score she wanted to improve. With her limited time she needed to schedule the GMAT for two weeks before her application deadlines. That meant she did not have the luxury of focused studying for the GMAT in all of her free time.
To help Tasha manage her time, we wrote down all of her tasks, including the number of essay iterations we expected her to go through, and then we worked backward from her deadlines to see how many days she had to work. Tasha then started alternating essay writing and GMAT study until the day she took the test.
This abbreviated yet methodical time management system worked for her, and Tasha was able to improve her GMAT by 30 points and submit a strong application to her three target schools. She ultimately gained admission to Stanford Graduate School of Business and Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management.
Tasha's strategy won't work for everybody, but we see applicants pull off the impossible every season.
I typically advise clients to plan for two attempts at the GMAT, leaving a buffer for a retake if needed. There's no harm in taking the test two or even three times, and unless you score really well right out of the gate, you often will do better the second time. This is because you'll have fewer nerves, more familiarity with the process and no big surprises. There is no such thing as a bad test, just opportunities to build on and learn from.
Average scores are creeping higher every year at the top MBA programs, making it hard to offset a bad GMAT score. It truly is a level playing field, and I often cringe when I read essays where people try to rationalize a low score.
What you can do, however, is acknowledge the score and say you don't find it truly reflective of your abilities. Then show why you are actually strong in quant or going to excel academically by pointing to your college GPA, work experience or by encouraging your recommenders to focus heavily on your intellect.
Timing and planning are key to reducing the stress of the application process. I generally encourage applicants to not cram everything into too short of a timeline, but everyone has their own style and you need to figure out what makes the most sense for you, your goals and your schedule.

GMAT Now Features Enhanced Score Report
The Graduate Management Admission Council has launched a new GMAT Enhanced Score Report, providing test takers with access to an in-depth analysis of their overall performance on the GMAT, including their performance on the various …
The Graduate Management Admission Council has launched a new GMAT Enhanced Score Report, providing test takers with access to an in-depth analysis of their overall performance on the GMAT, including their performance on the various sections and subsections within the exam.
The report provides metrics that describe everything from the test taker's average time to answer each question type, to overall time management relative to other test takers, and provides insight and analysis about how students might use the report to talk about or improve their score.
This new GMAT Enhanced Score Report is delivered to a test taker following their sitting of the exam. In 2014, GMAC introduced the Score Preview feature for the GMAT exam that allows test takers to cancel a GMAT score if it isn't up to their standards or expectations, before sending it to a school.
Both Enhanced Score Reports and the Score Preview feature provide test takers with greater control over how and when they report their scores to the schools to which they are applying.
"The value of the GMAT Enhanced Score Report is that, used alone or together with the GMAT's other prep and score reporting features, it can help students strengthen their performance, improve their scores and be better prepared for the process of applying to business school," says Ashok Sarathy, vice president of Product Management at GMAC.
The GMAT Enhanced Score Report can be purchased following the taking of the GMAT exam for $24.99 (USD) through the mba.com store.

Should You Retake the GMAT?

This post originally appeared on Stacy's "Strictly Business" MBA Blog on U.S.News.com
While I occasionally hear tales of MBA applicants offered admission in a top business school with a 640 GMAT score, the truth is that accepting students with stellar scores of 700 or higher is more the norm at the most competitive programs.
Before you start to panic and become hung up on achieving the highest score possible, or fixate on the average GMAT score reported by the schools, I urge test-challenged clients to focus instead on aligning their scores within the 80 percent range, which schools usually list within their admitted class profile.
Many experts in the test prep industry advise all students to plan on taking the test twice. If your score after the first attempt is already at or above your goal, you can always cancel the second sitting. Remember, top schools want to see scores in the 80th percentile in the quantitative section. So if you score 100 percent in verbal and low in quantitative, you would want to retake the exam, especially if you don't have a strong quantitative background outside of the GMAT.
[Learn about ways to fix a low GMAT score.]
There is absolutely no reason to retake the GMAT when you score over 700, test prep company Magoosh says emphatically. You've already proven you can handle the quantitative component of the curriculum, so turn your focus toward ensuring all of the other parts of your application are as strong as possible.
Keep in mind that this high number is primarily for those targeting a top-tier MBA program. If you scored a 680, the decision to retake should be carefully considered, as you may be better off focusing on your essays or coaching recommenders instead. Applicants looking at programs in the top 20 or 50 should check the average scores of admitted students to determine their personal target GMAT score.
If illness, nerves, exhaustion, or simply a lack of adequate preparation resulted in a low score, then a second attempt becomes a necessity. Repeat test-taking, with additional preparation, typically results in a higher score as students become familiar with the experience, and therefore, less stressed out.
[Learn to dodge your fear of failure when applying to business school.]
Although the Graduate Management Admission Council allows you to take the test as many times as you like, you must wait 31 calendar days before retaking the exam. Make sure to check your target schools' application deadlines in order to allow enough time to send in your final scores.
Applicants self-report their highest score, and it's worth noting that the admissions committee doesn't have an issue with students taking the exam more than once. In fact, committees may look positively on the dedication you've shown to improve upon your prior performance. Mind you, I'm talking about a score report with two or three scores, max – not one that shows you've sat for the GMAT seven times.
After your first test, it's time to go over your entire GMAT performance to determine your weaknesses and double-down in those areas as you resume your studies. Don't completely ignore the sections you did well on, however. You wouldn't want to improve in one area but do worse in another the next time.
If you studied alone or took a class for your initial preparation, you might consider studying one on one with a GMAT tutor for the second go-round. A test prep expert can work around your schedule and tailor the curriculum to your needs.
Finally, some people aren't natural test-takers and have a less-than-optimal performance no matter how well they know the material. One of the primary causes is stress under pressure, and it may help to watch this video tour of the GMAT Test Center and detailed explanation of all procedures to increase your comfort levels about what to expect.
If that familiarity still isn't enough to calm your nerves come test day, consider using relaxation techniques such as meditation and visualization to reduce test anxiety. Also, taking the GMAT in the same center will help you feel more comfortable with the test-taking process and any logistics that may have thrown you off the first time.
Business school hopefuls can be incredibly hard on themselves when they make mistakes on the GMAT, but each error is a learning opportunity and a chance to improve. So don't become discouraged if your first score isn't where you'd hoped. Relax, and think of it as a dress rehearsal for a stellar performance to come.

Start Your Home Inspection Career with PHII!
Call (800) 983-6322Quick
PHII meets all California requirements for home inspectors including the California Trade practice act (Chapter 338) enacted in 1996 that establishes a required standard of care. There is not currently a home inspector state license required in California, therefore, after graduation from our course, you can start inspecting right away!
Many Realtors, Lenders, home buyers, and home owners want to make sure a home inspector has been properly trained and certified. PHII will give you a nationally recognized home inspector certification and the credentials you need to become a successful home inspector in California. Becoming certified now may also make you eligible to be "grandfathered in" when new licensing laws or stricter regulations take effect.
Mold Course Add-On
Home Inspectors normally disclaim mold conditions and do not inspect for mold, but inspectors should be aware that California recently passed SB655 Housing Standards: Mold, effective as of January 1, 2016. This new law makes California the first state to declare mold an enforceable substandard housing condition if there is:
any visible or otherwise demonstrable mold growth, excluding the presence of mold that is caused by inappropriate housekeeping practices or improper use of natural or mechanical ventilation.
In general terms, SB 655 requires landlords to provide housing that is free of mold unless the mold is due to the renter's lack of cleaning. Many experts feel SB655 will force home inspectors to reduce their liability by being trained in mold. PHII's exclusive 4-course mold training package which includes CRMI, CCMI, and CMR certifications, can be added-on to your home inspector training for just $299 which is a valuable investment for your home inspection business! The package includes:
MD201: Residential Mold Inspection Course
MD202: Mold Remediation Course
MD203: Commercial Mold Inspector Course
MD204: Mold Remediation Protocols

A COMMONWEALTH Court panel yesterday denied an appeal by the city prison guards union of a 2012 arbitration award that resulted in less generous pension benefits for new hires and lower wage increases than the union had sought.
The union, Local 159 of AFSCME District Council 33, argued that the arbitration award was flawed because it took into account the city's financial condition.
But Commonwealth Judge Bernard McGinley wrote in yesterday's decision that the city's ability to pay is applicable in deciding the award, siding with lawyers for Mayor Nutter's administration and the Common Pleas Court decision that was under appeal.

Emerging Treatments for SCD June 14, 2016 - for anyone interested doing their own research
Note for Favus;
Prior O2 modulators have been very beneficial in improving the disease state. The problem is that they were limited by toxicity and PK. Decreasing painful crises incidences by 80%. Other benefits seen along with decrease in pain.
We know seem to have a once daily oral drug that has a high affinity for hemoglobin and MINIMAL side effects.
After a great 6 months of promising data, looking forward to the Favus update for the Hedgies he advised to go short last year.
#1 Consolidate while doing the hard work from K-Street, usually works. In an election year it will be much harder to slip the 'ole consolidation trick past the public.
Elliot Favus still bashing Global Therapeutics? More likely the news leaking out the past few weeks has pi$$id off the hedges he charges for his "insights".
" hiding 90-day data", LMAO
British Journal of Hematology, nice conservative review. For those following the story there is even more info known info being reviewed, buying all news giving Brexit dips that effect GBT.
Investors that have done their research are now buying as advanced data is released.
What is likely up next?
Among the "2016 Anticipated Milestones" you will find:
Hereditary Angioedema: Complete IND-enabling toxicology studies, submit an IND, and initiate a Phase 1 study for GBT18713, an orally bioavailable kallikrein inhibitor. Expected to start in 2016.
Another promising pipeline drug the company has hight expectations for and would like to some complete research on before being bought out at too cheap of a price.
Global Blood Therapeutics likely has an equally interested domestic buyout? Whoever they pick up will need a knowledgeable worldwide sales force. Any company interested needs to close the deal before "Breakthrough Status" or "accelerated approval" is granted. The price of a buyout will be MUCH higher.
2017 is not that far away and would be much better for tax purposes of many
"Brexit" -vs a lot of good news... darn autocorrect
Sickle Cell wins and hope to see a new drug with breakthrough status and accelerated approval by end of year. Unmet need demands it. 2017 will be a very good year.
Deerfield Management now over 5%
IPAB is focused on saving health dollars and will continue to meet annually.
SCD is also associated with high treatment costs. One study estimated that in the United States, the average annual cost for the care of an adult patient with the most common genotype of SCD exceeds $200,000. This equates to cumulative lifetime costs in excess of $8.0 million over an assumed 50-year lifespan, driven primarily by hospital admissions, physician fees, clinic and emergency department visits, and the costs of diagnostic procedures and outpatient consultations.
* Hold on small investors, the big boys will collect shares then drop the price lower (on Brexit concerns) so keep in your low bids and wait for the buyers to step back. Gulp, planned a plan and that was to get shares at much lower prices today, day is not over.
The Funds will be buying at the end of the session. You can get fireworks as they must buy at the close no matter the price. A sellers stake would be nice, If holders ask for $3 and above that is where the stock will go.
((IF)) the price hits $3 I will sell. Hope all holders put in asks that are much higher. I've benefitted greatly from the rebalancing in the past.
GLTA, it will all hit in the last few minutes.
Also, why did Biotech (the IBB) recently crash hard to start recovering?
The BAD:
Why Biotech is Getting Crushed
Ben Levisohn at Barrons
On April 25th we wrote a report on IPAB, which stands for the Medicare Independent Payment Advisory Board. This is the entity that, under certain circumstances, has the power to propose/implement cuts to the Medicare program if a certain spending threshold (the "trigger") is met. We said that the trigger determination would likely occur somewhere in the late May to July timeframe.
Our latest information is that the trigger update is likely to come this week per industry contacts
The Good:
IPAB made a ruling yesterday and cuts in prices paid for the many overpriced drugs did not hit the threshold, not cut for Big Pharma. GBT440 would not have been a drug that would have seen cuts if IPAB decided to cut reimbursement on the many me-too and worthless drugs we overpay for. I was rooting for IPAB to make needed cuts on overpriced and questionable drugs. I am also long GBT because it is a very impressive and needed drug that IPAB cuts would not target.
2017 should be a very good year for GBT and it's shareholders.
Not selling at $27. This stock has a drug that has the potential to greatly reduce to cost of Sickle Cell therapy.
Sickle cell patients live 25 to 30 years less than average. The pain associated with hypoxia in vital drugs is severe and hospitalization is required. Give me a cancer drug that gives patients 5 months extra of questionable quality life and you have a $5B drug.
Holding cash and slowly add as the spiral may not have finished. Margin clerks and Brexit and the Russell rebalance on Friday. It's been the perfect storm for those new to this stock.
Raising funds during Brexit and and a biotech nosedive was a no brainer when you are focused on patients and getting a possible "breakthrough" drug to the market. When will the pediatric phase I trials start?
Thank you to Brexit and Margin calling Divas for my $17 shares. Think Obama would like this one to gain accelerated approval and compassionate use availability before he leaves office?
For those new to biotech "Fast Track" is something every company that comes up with a drug idea gets simply by filling out the application
Big Deal?
All SCD patients dosed with GBT440 have shown a positive hematologic response. Additionally, a rapid and durable reduction in hemolytic anemia and sickling has been shown over 90 days. We continue to see a linear, dose proportional relationship between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and the data continue to support the inhibition of polymerization of sickle hemoglobin through increased oxygen affinity as the mechanism of action of GBT440
From Eyeing Biotech, analyst looking at medical advancements not Wall Street BS
It is important to remember that healthy red blood cells have a lifespan of 90-120 days (SCD RBCs lifespan is much shorter) and hemoglobin is stable with low turnover rates so the drug is acting on a population of cells (and hemoglobin) that will only have a small fraction turned over at the 28 day marker if sickling is prevented and therefore expanding the life time of the RBCs.
The entire article is well worth reading. It was written before 90 dat data that got me interested in this one as a long term investment.
Too many me-too drugs (costly as it is usually used to replace drugs going off patent) and price gouging whenever possible. Then we have these genetic therapies that cost hundreds of thousands. Next you have these scary stats:
27 to 30 percent of Medicare payments cover the cost of care for people in the last year of life. 40 percent of Medicare dollars cover care for people in the last month. 12 percent of Medicare spending covers people who are in the last two months.
Something needs to be done, it's going to be complicated and controversial. We have no choice unless we are willing to cut a few of those billion dollar planes, tanks and ships from the budget, you know that military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about.

Oxfam outrage at Syria aid convoy attack
Condemning the attack on an aid convoy in Aleppo, Oxfam said there is the real risk Syria will fall even further into the abyss.
Syria ceasefire: Russia and USA must ensure agreement leads to real halt of violence
In response to the nationwide ceasefire in Syria, Oxfam hopes it will provide a welcome respite for Syrian civilians who have faced unremitting violence and deliberate deprivation of aid. Russia and the USA must make sure their agreement translates to a real and lasting halt to violence in Syria, said the agency.
Self-Protection and Coping Strategies of Refugees from Syria and Host Communities in Lebanon
This research project aimed to improve Oxfam's understanding of the protection and livelihood challenges faced by refugees from Syria as well as the protection concerns arising from the coping strategies that they use to try to meet those challenges.
Europe, don't let us down
Oxfam and ActionAid have listened to hundreds of refugee and migrant women and men on Lesvos island, in Athens and in the Epirus region of northwest Greece to understand why they fled their countries, what their immediate needs are, and what they plan to do next. Their situation is desperate, but also avoidable.
Agencies criticize rich countries' failure to resettle more Syrians
Oxfam, Save the Children and the Norwegian Refugee Council criticized the deeply disappointing outcome of today's international pledging conference for resettlement of refugees fleeing the ongoing crisis in Syria. The meeting in Geneva offered to resettle only a tiny fraction of the most vulnerable people with a less ambitious timeline. Governments have shown a shocking lack of political and moral leadership, said the agencies.
Rich countries have resettled just 1.39% of Syrian refugees, need to step up efforts
Rich countries have resettled only 1.39 percent of the nearly five million Syrian refugees, a fraction of the 10 percent of people who need to be urgently offered a safe haven. As wealthy states meet in Geneva on 30 March to discuss the Syria refugee crisis, Oxfam urges them to redouble their efforts and offer their 'fair share' of support to hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Oxfam suspends aid operations in Moria camp in protest to the suspension of migrants' rights by the EU and Turkey
Oxfam has today suspended all of its operations in the Moria camp, on the Greek island of Lesvos, in response to the deteriorating treatment of migrants due to the recent deal struck between the EU and Turkey. The Greek authorities are transforming reception facilities into detention centers, where people will be held pending their mass return to Turkey.
EU border closures worsen humanitarian crisis with people used as bargaining chips
European border closures and restrictions are dramatically worsening the humanitarian crisis for refugees and migrants and a decision to shift the EU's responsibility for refugees to Turkey would see the bloc bargaining its core values and abandoning fundamental legal obligations.
Almost half of Syria's population has been forced to flee their homes, including more than 4.5 million who are registered as refugees in neighboring countries. This video takes a look at what life as a refugee in Lebanon is like.
Poverty, Inequality and Social Protection in Lebanon
The impact of the Syria crisis on Lebanon is immense and multidimensional. This report is the result of research by Oxfam and the American University, Beirut in an effort to gain a better insight into the lives and struggles of poor Lebanese households alongside Syrian and Palestinian refugee populations in Lebanon.


text: Review Content ivee alarm clock only negative thing is you must get the commands said properly. Very Good ! I previously used a similar product called Moshi which was somewhat difficult to program and very often misinterpreted voice instructions. The current product is much better. It offers a wider variety of commands and executes them accurately. I have already ordered two more as gifts for friends. Only for the Young Cannot store the selected alarm sound and must select every time time for alarm is set. Since I like #6 it is frustrating to have to go to #6 each time I set the alarm. I would like to return the product. what a great way to start the day I got this clock for my 8 year old because he wanted an alarm clock and now we all love it--from the super simple set-up to being greeted every morning with the time, date and temperature, it is a great device. Another great feature is the voice activated Ivey will answer you with different greetings each time, depending on time of day and how often you call her, making her sound remarkably human rather than robotic. I am thinking of getting more clocks as gifts for friends and family... Great item Love this for relaxing sleep runs slow it works as far as voice goes, but runs about 5 min slow a day Cool little alarm clock Neat little clock. A little bit bright for me. Nice to use voice controls. Great idea, poor execution I bought this as a gift for my wife who doesnt like complicated gadgets, thinking it would be easy for her to use. I was wrong. At first the clock didnt respond to my wifes voice at all. Only after a lot of experimenting did we figure out that the clock prefers deep voices. So my wife got it to work, sort of, by talking in a deeper voice. The clock recognizes the correct commands Id say about 50% of the time. After that, we could not figure out how to get the clock to snooze. The manual says to tap the LED screen to snooze, which does not work at all. The other option is to wait for a pause in the alarm sound to actually say "snooze," but that doesnt work when you wake up to the radio. We had a lot of fun trying to figure that out at 6 am in the morning. As a last ditch effort, I tried updating the software via the website. After many attempts I could never get my computer to recognize the clock when it was plugged in, even though the instructions say just to plug it in. That was the last st Fun I cant seem to remember how to word the exact commands in Ivees vocabulary. It takes a bit of getting used to them, especially when you hear the alarm in the morning and are half asleep...and all you want to do is have Ivee be quiet! But time will correct that problem and I am excited to have this alarm clock. Greatest Clock solution ever. Easy to set . . . voice commands are received well. Light isnt too bright and lady in the clock is very nice. :) Nice looking easy setup Great for being able to see the time at night. IVEE is very smart! IVEE is almost too smart for me. She has awakened us at 3 in the morning several times for no reason at all. Before I turned the vocal off we were greeted with "Good morning" and "How can I help you?" in the middle of the night! Once the radio turned on for now reason I could determine. Currently the touch button for the radio doesnt work and I have to do summersaults to get it to shut off. I guess I need a little kid to help be out. At this point its a challenge to see if I can actually get IVEE to do what I want. Heres to no future sleepless nights! Alarm for sleepy users You can talk to Ivee and she will set your alarm, tell you the time, temperature and set all kinds of sounds on your alarm. No fumbling for buttons in the dark or looking for glasses when you are tired and just want to crawl into bed. Ivee is polite and soothing and has a British lilt to her voice. Thats the only down side as occasionally she cant understand me and I have to repeat my request. There is a sheet of simple commands and requests she understands and I keep it near the clock as a reference. Takes some getting used to. I never would have thought of this as a must-have, but really it simplifies life. Works well... Voice commands seem to work well but battery back up is not working. Voice Command Clock Very useful voice commands. Easier to use then I anticipated. Very bright and loud I bought this alarm clock about a month ago for our bedroom. Thought it looked sleek and had great reviews. Unfortunately, I am not enjoying it. The display is so large that it always is very bright, even when using the night dimming function. I have the iVee voice on the lowest volume setting, but it still is quite loud. If I need to reset my alarm time for the next morning, I feel like Im disturbing my kids in the next room, and definitely my husband who often goes to be before me. I thought, perhaps, you could bypass the talking and manually set the alarm, but it all is done by voice so she asks the new time, I tell her what it is, and she repeats it back. You can turn off a talk option so that instead of just speaking, you have to press a button to get iVee to listen, but the rest is still done by voice. No opting around it. That being said, its quite easy to use and large and bright for someone looking for these features. I will be moving her to the office and getting something more subtle Fun but quirky I love that "she" answers when addressed, in a lovely voice, and when she understands my request (usually to set the alarm for the following morning) the clock and alarm work well. I also like that I can control the level (how loud) and type (selected music, etc) of alarm sound. I am a light sleeper and dislike a loud harsh alarm. But despite my clear strong voice, unless I am positioned directly in front of the device "Ivee" doesnt understand my requests -- so asking her to shut off the alarm can be frustrating. I would also have liked a simple means of manual turn off that doesnt require turning on the light. I usually wake up before the alarm and like to shut it off before waking up the hubby. Good... But.. Easy to see display. Alarm sound choices and volume controls disappointing. Easy to use. Overall I like this alarm however I wish it had more options. Peaceful awakening alarm clock I use this alarm clock to wake me up with out the sudden jolt. It offers six alarm sounds to choose from, all of which are peaceful. When I talk about jolt, basically I mean it doesnt startle you awake, scare you awake etc. The problem I have most is that you have to get sort of creative to keep the power cord plugged into the alarm clock end of the cord. This is something that is in desparate need of imporvement. Bottom line, its a great clock to wake you up if you startle easily like I do, or if you happen to have a heart condition that could cause problems to occur if you are jolted or startled awake. Sometimes too sensitive The voice activation is interesting, but is sometimes too sensitive because it speaks out during sleep time. It took a while to get use to the commands. This is an amazing little clock. Its my new best friend.. I still cant believe it works but it does. Other digital alarm clocks are difficult to set and easy to make mistakes. This little beauty listens to what I say and does it--no fumbling. If you must say the exact command Ivy performs perfectly. Best alarm clock Ive ever had. Totally a buy for Knight Rider fans Wakes me up set to my favorite FM station. It also tells me time and temp after waking up. Highly functional and great value My husband loves this clock!Theres a bit of a learning curve for all the commands but its a cinch after that. Its bright, responsive, voice is a little loud. Very practical and well worth the money. No AM radio I really liked the concept of this clock radio and its all that it claims to be with the exception of not having AM on the radio. There was nothing that said the radio came with AM but I assumed (and we all know what that means) there would be because there is FM. If that doesnt matter, the radio and what it does is very nice. great addition to any room This clock is in my bedroom and I make daily use of the alarm feature. The numbers are easy to read especially in the middle of the night. It is attractive and easy to use. The Talking Clock This clock is awesome. I love being able to tell the clock what I want it to do, and it does it. It is so easy, this is the best clock I have ever owned. A fun way to wake up every morning! This is our second voice command clock. Our first was Moshi. A great product. Then we found Ivee with dual alarms and a radio. Great additions to a great product. She even says good morning when she wakes me up in the morning! The back up battery makes it easy for travel without having to reset everything. one feature wont work love all but the ability to turn off the alarm with using voice control. I have tried about 10 times, and it just does not work. I have to push a button which I cant see in the dark Perfect for people with bad eyesight The ivee Voice Command Alarm Clock is perfect for people, like myself, with bad eyesight. I cant see a thing when I wake up in the morning before I put glasses or contacts on but now I can just ask ivee what time it is and shell tell me. No more need to, literally, wake my boyfriend up every morning and ask him what time it is. Voice Command Clock that actually works! Nice Display Great clock / talks when it shouldnt Ivee wakes me up in the middle of the night talking about random things. I want her to shut up!!! What is the command for that? Otherwise, it is a great alarm clock. Ivee,s My Late Mom,s Name! maybe just a bit too sound sensitive. Great Alarm Clock This is a great alarm clock. No more fumbling with buttons to set the time or alarms. The voice recognition system works really well. Id recommend this to anybody who hates setting their current clock or has limited vision. The only drawback is that the blue LED display light is a little brighter than wed like at night. We just turn it away from the bed. I love this Product This product is great. You do not have to touch a single thing on this alarm clock, just ask Ivee and she will do everything. The set up is very easy just follow the pamphlet and Ivee will set your alarm and keep it stored as long as you want. You do not have to keep re-setting it. You do have to remember your commands but that should only take a day or two. This clock is a very nice gift. I was surprise when my husband asked me to buy him one. Money well spent. Please try it. Effective and Simple Easy to use and attractive my the bedside. The voice commands are simple and clear. Great for my gardet guy! Returning, Maybe Just A Bad One? This was a Xmas gift for my husband. He liked IVEE. We read directions carefully and she seemed to work but not IVEE/touch. We tried reset button before deciding to return, as she could not seem to hear us. I like the idea if you get one that works! ivee Great product but you really need to talk loud enough for Ivee to hear and respond. This is the coolest gift This is definitly the coolest gift that I ever bought myself. Ive been telling all my friends about it. Couldnt be easier to use. Great Gift for your teenager My son just loves the voice command clock. Its easy to use and it embraces future technology. The jury is still out. I was looking for a bedroom clock that has a large display, but not one that is so bright that it lights up the room when all lights are off. I prefer a relatively dark room. A red display is not as bright as a blue one. If I dont adjust soon, I will have to return this clock for a different one. There is not anything wrong with this particular clock; it simply does not meet my requirements and I didnt realize that until I received it and plugged it in. future is now...just talk to the clock once you learn the command sequence, you can talk to the alarm clock rather than fiddle with buttons, switches and dials....just simple words! Awesome Ivee We use the alarm every morning. Surprisingly not an annoying voice. We like the lights because they are not bright and overwhelming. Pretty Neat Clock I think it is pretty cool to be able to talk to your clock and it talks back. I have only had a few of my commands confuse her or not be correct but I think we will work out our differences eventually. The setup was easy as pie. There is a helpful booklet with the list of commands to make her work for you. Love it! Really like this clock. The numbers are big and the lights are bright so it can be seen from across the room. We are still adjusting to the "talking" part of it. Until the novelty wears off we will use the talking features, then we will probably go back to the standard, manual setting. It is really a nice gift and very useful for seniors who have less than perfect eyesight and dexterity. Love it! Great product! Great item to have. I love using the voice control because i always use it when im in bed and not having to get up to press the buttons is amazing. I would recommend this product to anyone that like gadgets but with a schedule. great for bedroom great in bedroom to set alarms, get time at night verbally, get temp Not enough PLAIN EXPLANATION ON HOW TO USE CLOCK RADIO! Large screen and read out Too hard to follow directions from booklet. Some instructions for how-to-use without Ivy does not work all the time. Battery had Aug, 2013 on it; no plastic screen guard; battery installed up-side-down; white plastic cover to slip clock into was laying at bottom of shipping box; incomplete instructions on how and when to use Audio, Preset, Mode and + or - tabs along with arrow tabs??? Hello Ivee Phone Imuse this daily and laugh a great deal. I love Ivee. This is a fabulous gift idea A 10! Love it. No more missed alarms. Love the greeting. Easy to set up and operate. Radio not very clear but I use a Bose. Nice to have someone to talk to.;-). "A really great product." I dont normally write reviews on products I purchase, but I will make an exception here. This is a really great product, and extremely easy to use. If you are in a situation where you like to change alarm times on a frequent basis, and dont want a hassle doing it, this is the product for you. Clock/radio with personality Its so COOL! Love talking to IVEE. Smart design! What worked was great... The voice is nice, and its great to be able to lie in bed and ask the time without turning a light on. However, one design flaw is that you have to cover the display with something if you dont want it to create light in your room (you cant totally dim the display). Worse, my unit occasionally told me the voice volume was set to medium, even though I hadnt touched the volume switch on the back, and one of the more complicated voice controls just wouldnt work. As I couldnt risk this thing waking me up in the middle of the night, and the other flaws bugged me too much, I returned it... clock provides a surreal experience easy to read but it just talks when it hears a sound. this is quite funny at first and then it is surreal. Neat Item! Like waking up to radio instead of alarm sound. Can only turn sound off manually, not with voice command. Not Happy! Not happy with my Ivee, it looses time, if power fails when it comes back on the radio is not on one of my presets usually just static. The display lights up my whole room why cant it be infinitely adjustable? I want to play the radio for x minutes before I go to sleep how do I do that? Not Mac friendly for firmware updates! Bla.. Easy to use. Extra functions from former Voice Clock Very classy design.Like dual alarms. Display feature dimming in bright light, nice touch. Being able to turn off the announcement during alarm cycle is great. The only negitative in my opinion is, not being able to dim the brightness at night. I place a cloth over the display to darken the room. My last voice activated clock, you could turn off the night light,(display). Wife loves her new alarm clock! We realy like this alarm clock but there are some issues. The alarm sounds dont fade in like the alarm radio does, which is really cool. The alarm sound just comes on abruptly and keeps sounding over and over again instead of a constant music. The display brightness is too bright even on the lowest setting. The alarm sound is also much louder on its lowest level than we like. The voice prompt will come on with a loud sound like laughing or talking. Disappointing... Loved the concept and excited to give it to my wife, the gadget queen but we so disappointed when it would not respond to voice commands very well. They need to work how the clock recognizes commands. We tried quiet and loud voices, quiet background but nothing helped. We wanted to like it. sleek and attractive Its a nice looking alarm clock and I have it sitting on my night stand. Sometimes though when I answer the phone Ivee comes on and starts talking. I think its a great product and it is so easy to set the alarm, something I had trouble with with my last alarm clock. Its worth buying and I should contact someone about the issue I have for it could be a glitch or to close to the phone. Otherwise I love it! I would buy this product again I really like this clock radio. It is so easy to set and operate and the display is easy to see across the room. Also, the radio has great sound. SO MUCH FUN Cant see the time if I wake up in the middle of the night. I can see this without my glasses, but it is much more fun to talk to IVEE instead. Learning the commands is challenging for a retiree, and I couldnt remember how to get the alarm to shut off one morning, but after a few more tries, I think Ive got it! This rocks - we love it Easy to use and wakes us up on time!! Love the British accent... No More Wrong Alarm Times! Easiest way to set your alarm. Just speak and Ivee responds. Great for people with dexterity or visual problems. No more trying to figure if you have set the alarm for am or pm. We love our new bedside assistant, Ivee! My husband saw the clock in the catalog and had to have it. He then bought each of his brothers and sister one. Her voice changes in pleasant tones each time you ask for the time, temperature, date, or what time the alarm is set for and which tone or radio is on. We love it. Not perfect The clock frequently says "Sorry, I didnt understand you", even though I speak clearly and loudly, much like every other voice activated device I have (think Bluetooth). Other than that, I like it very much. A little pricey for a clock radio. LOVE IT!!! I love, love, love this clock! I have for a long time been wanting an alarm clock that is simple to set and small enough and attractive enough to sit on our bedside table. This clock meets all of my parameters. Its so easy to talk to it and it understands what youre saying, unlike most of the electronics and phone recordings that Ive had problems with in the past. You cant beat the price either! I HIGHLY recommend this clock. great clock radio for everyone use every day. great for travel Dont like it Im going to return it. I was looking forward to using this clock but its not convenient. The sound quality of the different alarm sounds is poor. I Love Ivee I purchased this clock for my father who lives alone. Hes getting old so he has a hard time seeing and I thought this clock would be perfect. Turns out it really is. All he has to do is ask "Ivee" to set the alarm for a certain time and the clock does it for. He always shows me when I come over how he can ask "Ivee" the time and temperature. He really gets a kick out of it. Ivie is amazing onceyou set it up it is fun to call ivie and ask her questions. this unit is fun and practical as you can see the time at night. You will know time,temp,date whenever you need to know.Now into the 21st century. I made a great choice! My eyesight is failing and I wanted to prepare for the time I could not see the time. Also i wanted to see well enough to be able to set it up. This fills the bill on both accounts. I can rest assured that in the future I will be able to partner with Ivee for the things I will need that this marvel offers. Best Little Clock My wife is Blind so this is so nice that she can ask what time it is and this little clock will tell her the correct time and date... voice activated alarm clock My friend doesnt see well - especially at night. This is easy for him to use by sight or by sound. outstanding exactly as advertised Delight to wake up to Fun addition to the night table It is new for me to have something voice activated, but very fun. Since I am not a morning person, I was looking for help in waking me up and keeping me awake. I was hoping so set one alarm at one time, with its own sound and a second alarm at a later time with a different sound. I can set this, but the second alarm does not seem to go off if the first alarm is still active. The other unexpected thing with Ivee is the brightness of the display light. Even though it will sightly dim in the dark, it is still very bright and glows over a fairly large area. I need to turn it away from my bed to get the light off me. Aside from those things, it is a good product and I am enjoying the novelty. Great clock! It is a great product. I tried the voice command for snooze, but I got so frustrated so I started manually turning the alarm off. It has a night light and calming sleep music. Overall, pleased with my purchase. Great for the technology challenged I bought this for my 84 year old mother who has a hard time with any type of technology. She was able to set it very easily and loves it. Great product! Very user friendly. Works like a charm Use every day Talking alarm clock I love it Didnt duite do it.. This is an attractive alarm colck, easy to use but had a couple that cons that I needed. It did not have an auto shutoff for the alarm, so if I was up and left before it went off, it would still be "buzzing" when I got home. Also I wanted to be able to preset the alarm by day for the week because I get up at different times on the weekend. This left me to setting the alarm daily. Its A Winner I wish the LED display could go dimmer at bed time good alarm clock I like the clock but the volume is not loud enough on the alarma even on high I am worried I will not hear the alarm. The Jury is Still Out I bought this as a replacement for a very old bedside clock radio. I really like the large blue display (red is such a stark color). My wife and I like our bedroom dark. The auto dim feature sensed the darkened room and really jacked up the brightness. Maybe a manual dim control would work better? The voice command is cool (I like the British accent). Ivy (the persona) heard some noises that she didnt understand and started talking in the middle of the night. I have since disabled the voice feature. A nice radio at a good price with some operational bugs still to work out. Efficient, fun, and great looking Best clock radio Ive ever owned and inexpensive. Cheery wake-up, easy to control, beautiful to look at. The future of robot helpers. Next step is more commands and programable for custom features. A GREAT CLOCK FOR THE BEDROOM Great little clock...so easy to set and turn off alarm...love the voice commands.....great bluse light which is a calming night light in the bedroom. Great clock I use the voice-activated Ivee clock all the time. I love the large blue numbers. I especially like that I can simply talk to the clock to set it, turn off the alarm, access the radio. Voice command alarm clock This alarm clock is awesome I love this clock and recomend it. Beautiful display LOVE! It is so nice to to talk to the alarm and give directions so you can go to bed with the light off and then tell her what time to wake you up! A great clock if you wear glasses! I bought this clock for my son, so he could see what time it is without having to put on his glasses. It is working very well, and I would recommend it for anyone who might want or need to check the time, especially at night, without having to find their glasses. Beautiful unit. Instructions are not very clear and it was difficult to learn Hey Ivee I have really enjoyed using this device. The numbers are large and clear, a pleasing blue color. The voice is nice, and the machine is pretty responsive. Its wonderful to be able to turn on the radio, program or to turn off the alarm without getting out of bed, and check the time without rolling over to look at the clock. The two downsides are that it is WAY too bright at night, even with the autodim feature. I have 6 layers of colored film over the face and I am going to add a couple more. It needs a dimmer control. Secondly, you cant turn off the radio by voice command (Ivee cant hear you when she is singing), and the nice, smooth face of the device makes it very hard to find the place to touch to turn off the radio when I am up before dawn for work. The control plate is extremely sensitive so just brushing it in the wrong place will activate features you arent looking for. I am going to put a dot of glue there so my finger can find the spot. Other than these two problems, I am delighted with Excellent features for excellent price A great Alarm clock with great hands-free features like sleep sounds, night light, voice activated radio/temp/time/date/snooze... at the price it really does bring a lot to the table. Its voice recognition even works well with my stronger than average accent. What a great clock! I bought this clock-radio because it said it was easy to set and kept the information after a power failure. I have other clock-radios but all of them are such a hassle to set. This clock-radio was the answer to my problem. Im looking at getting another one. ivee talking clock Have no complaints about this clock. Glad I bought it. Outstanding Clock Incredibly satisfied with the clock. Voice activation is simple and surprisingly useful. I love this clock it is user friendly The clock has a quick easy set up guild and it has a help command it you need additional assistance. Fun To Use This clock works well as described. Ive only had one time when voice command couldnt be understood. The blue light, even on dim, is quite bright. Would like to be able to turn it down more. But, doesnt keep me from falling asleep. I love this product Using the product in my home office. Its very easy to setup and obtain info about date and time. Although very infrequently, the clock response to any movement/noise in the room and ask for command. i love this product love it Easy to Use and State of the Art Ivee can turn on by herself when she hears a loud noise. LOVE IT!! Love my clock! She works as described. I couldnt be happier with my purchase. She can even connect to your iPod or MP3 player via the headphone jack. Great Clock for the Stressed Out I bought this for my husband. He generally works in the office but some weeks he is out in the field, so he needs to get up extra early. All he has to do is say hello Ivee, set alarm 1, and then 5:30 am and he is ready to go. Just remember to speak naturally, no shouting required. No need to touch the clock. It does take a few days to remember Ivees speech patterns. So do not give up. Purchased for a gift Purchased as a 70th birthday gift I Love This Alarm Clock!! I use this alarm clock for daily use. What I like about the clock is the soft blue numbers, that are large and readable. The best surprise was to hear the British voice of ivee, so soothing and makes you feel you have your own valet. There are no cons to this clock. The voice activated mechanism is much fun and easy. Great clock, radio, tempeture & it talks it is great to be able to "talk" to someone when you are traveling. Hello Ivee Voice Control clock/radio Super beautiful clock with radio. Unimaginable voice control. Sharper Image has done it again. voice command alarm clock This alarm clock acutally works! Talk to it as per the instuction an it will answer you commands set alarms 1 or 2, play sounds to lul you to sleep. workss great. If you talk loud around it, it will think youre talking to it, but wont understand you. Interactive voice now perfect! This newly updated Ivee Flex is really fun and works very well! I got a Flex a couple months ago that was not good at all. I contacted the manufacturer and was informed that a few of the units that shipped, were not working well, and that they had updated the firmware along with other issues, and assured me, I would see a world of difference. WOW! My new unit is fantastic, great, awesome, fun, and sassy. Ivee understands and answers correctly, 99% of the time and given distractions going on around, that is very good. Temperature is asked for and given back in degrees F/C. A daylight savings time switch is on back (I like that because I hate changing clocks), dual alarms, 6 sleep and 6 alarms sounds and it seems that the speaker is much better than my poor Ivee (maybe a bit too good because I had to put a small decorative doily under her to absorb her accoustics (a bit loud on just a couple settings), display is large and pretty. About the only negative thought that I could write is that, because Ivee is desi Fun clock I havent needed a new alarm clock until recently. I went online and searched Unique Clock. This was one of the first ones in the list. I read all of the information about and thought I would give it a shot. It is very easy to use and set up. It is a fun clock. IVEE is a keeper At first getting to know how to use IVEE is a little confusing. If you keep the user manual handy, you will soon learn the proper commands to get IVEE to function properly. Some of the alarm tones are really loud and will wake you up fast. Make sure you listen to all the alarm sounds and chose one that you like. So easy to use We liked it ,so we got another for our son and wife Love this clock. I love this attractive little alarm. Wanted something easy to set and it is. Easy to hit the snooze, also. Also easy to program in radio presets. Large numbers, easy to see in dark. Only drawback is when the alarm goes off in the morning, you cant see the button to turn it off without turning on the light. I bought two more as gifts. Like having an automated home wake up in the morning, talking to product without getting up to press any buttons. Great Alarm Clock Great alarm clock. It took a little while to learn the commands but once I did it worked like a charm. The numbers are large and easy to see. The radio works well. The clock is very nice simple modern design. A funny thing happens every once in awhile, for example, I had contractor doing some home improvements and when he was using a hammer banging quite loudly, Ivee responded and says "I dont understand you".....the contractor jumped because he didnt know who it was. It was quite funny! Worth it but not perfect Im still learning to use it but so far I like it and Im thinking of buying 4 more as Christmas gifts. The talking alarm clock is really great! It provides easy access to information, such as, day and temperature. I really like the product, however, red nos. would be easier to see in daylight as well at night instead of blue. Ivey is amazing After quickly learning Iveys speech, she is so helpful and easy.. The versatility, ease of use surpasses all other boring alarm clocks. My family is fascinated. voice command alarm clock Does not always respond to commands WOW its awesome This alarm clock is very helpfull in getting me to sleep.Its refreshing to wake up to something more then a buzzer.And the temperature is a nice feature to this clock."NICLEY DONE" Nice Clock I like the clock. It looks nice and modern. The voice recognition has its moments when it wants to listen to you and it can get a little aggravating when it doesnt understand what you are saying when even you are talking slow. Ivee is very nice, big display &bright I found out there are various Ivee clocks which have more options. The IVEE FLEX has the most alarm sounds and sleep sounds.. Initial set-up is very simple...but read the manual for advanced stuff and changing settings. It is great to set the alarm in the dark by talking to the phone..Great when you get in late and want to go to bed! Very bright display...no night light needed! I bought this phone for the LARGE DISPLAY! IVEE Clock is great! This clock is great. Takes a little getting used to but well worth the extra effort. THIS CLOCK IS SO COOL, IVEE IS A TRIP GOT THIS FOR MY 88 YEAR OLD MOM AND SHE LOVES IT...SO DO I, IM GONNA GET ONE. IVEE CRACKS US UP. IM TELLING YOU,SHE DOESNT JUST GO BY THE BOOK. THIS CLOCK CAN GET MOODY SOMETIMES AND ITS PRETTY FUNNY..SOMETIMES IVEES ALL PRIM AND PROPER LIKE.. "GOOD MORNING, HOW MAY I HELP YOU?" CATCH HER AT 4 IN THE MORNING SOMETIMES AND ITS..."WHAT?"...HAHA!!! This gift overjoyed my dad! My 82 yr. old dad (w/macular degen.) needed an alarm clock he could see at night. Ivey just seems to be a plus for him. LOL Good deal The device was everything advertised. I would buy this product again! Love this clock! Very easy to use and set up. Clock doesnt always understand commands, but thats probably more me getting use to the clock than anything. Awesome clock! This is a great product. You can use almost any command. The only cons are that when speaking out loud she sometimes picks up voices. In addition, you have to know the right command to get what you want. IVEE Voice Command alarm clock I do like the IVEE clock. Its a little too bright on the display, even with the setting as dim as it goes. So Ive had to put a scarf over it to dim it down, otherwise it lights up the room at night. I love being able to voice command it. I need to study the commands a little more thoroughly so that I can memorize the commands I need to use. Excellent purchase ! Easy to use. kids love talking to Ivy and asking what time it is … she responds so nicely I WILL BUY ANOTHER This is the coolest thing, It looks great & it`s easy to set up. It does so many things, & you can tell it what you want. I have a lot of electronics, but this is my ace!

John Green: The Next Eric Pfeiffer?
When I told him his work reminded me of Eric Pfieffer — former VP of design at Offi — Green said, "Oh yeah, Offi's already come by to see me!" Pfieffer is best known for the bent ply pieces he created for Offi, including the Mag Table, Scandio Table, and Wave Desk. The most obvious Pfieffer reference comes from John Green's Embrace Table — a bent ply design made of two pieces that fit together into one multifunctional shelf, coffee table, or laptop desk. (Green actually says the Embrace was inspired by Egon Riss' Isokon Penguin Donkey, another famous dual-purpose design in birch ply.)
While the work is similar to Pfieffer's, Green has his own unique ability to find lots of different practical applications within a simple form. His Standard Coat Rack was created from a broom handle that he cut up and reconfigured with steel connectors, and his Stable Table (stable = stool + table) features an ingenious cutout notch and steel rod that can double as a footrest or a magazine rack. While young, Green already has retail partners in the UK, France, Italy, Spain, and Greece, and he's shown his work at Maison&Objet in Paris, 100% Design in London, and MACEF in Milan. We're looking forward to seeing how his furniture takes hold in America.

Cellular Respiration Essay As the Sapphire 5450 has a small, passive heatsink we were very curious to see the temperatures registered by the card. Until now most budget cards had a default cooling solution which normally included a fan with annoying noise/volume level. ATI and Sapphire are changing this and the temperatures of 50°C idle and 69°C load (Furmark stress test) are great for a passively cooled card. To put these into perspective, the GeForce 210 we used as a comparison has a fan/heatsink cooler and was only 3°C lower than the silent 5450 at load.

Pangaea Restaurant is no longer in business.
Find other places nearby.
This enduring restaurant success story that is Pangaea is a Toronto institution. In fact, this unassuming Yorkville sweetheart was awarded the Wine Spectator Magazine's "Award for Excellence" in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and its "Best of Award Of Excellence" honour in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The menu is amended frequently, but fish is always a standout. Pangaea has a relationship with the Vancouver Aquarium's Ocean Wise program, and so sustainable seafood choices are always prominent offerings. Portions are generous and exquisitely flavoured. An interior whose highlights include stealthy servers and stylish sculpted décor draws other senses into the dining experience. Pangaea is also known for its excellent offering of wine and loose leaf tea, but you might want to settle for a rock-solid Manhattan as you peruse the secret-spilling book you bought on the premises: "Pangaea. Why It Tastes So Good."

Ritz Ballroom, Bridgeport
|Fairfield Ave
|Bridgeport, CT
|March 23, 1923
|January 1, 1962
|June 12, 1970
The Ritz Ballroom was a popular cabaret, jazz, and swing nightclub located in the Black Rock neighborhood of Bridgeport, Connecticut near Ash Creek.
The ballroom opened on March 23, 1923, under the management of owners Joe Barry and George McCormack.[1] The final event held was the New Year's Eve Dance on December 31, 1961. After it was closed on January 1, 1962, the building became a furniture store but was then completely destroyed by a fire on June 12, 1970.[1][2]
The ballroom was located on Fairfield Avenue near Davidson Street and Courtland Avenue.[3] The wood for the dance floor was originally the ice skating rink at the Parlor Rock Amusement Park in Trumbull, which had been moved to the Brooklawn Pavilion, another hall owned by Barry and McCormack.[1][4] The hall set a record attendance of 1,724 people in 1943 for a Stan Kenton show, and again that same year with a similar sized crowd for Duke Ellington; a ticket was priced at $0.88.[5] However, in 1950 a one-night event with big band leader Ralph Flanagan drew 3,054 people at $1.50 a ticket.[6]
Notable events[edit]
A variety of musical artists played the ballroom throughout its existence, including Les Brown, Frankie Carle, Guy Lombardo, George Shearing, and Frank Sinatra[2] as well as Bing Crosby, Connie Haines, Frankie Laine and Artie Shaw.[7] The hall was also often used for formal functions, such as the farewell dinner honoring Clare Boothe Luce on April 10, 1953, before she took up her post in Rome as United States Ambassador to Italy.[8]
Glenn Miller[edit]
On January 2, 1938, the final show of Glenn Miller's first band was held at the Ritz. Miller would then go on to form the Glenn Miller Orchestra.[9]
Bunny Berigan[edit]
In January, 1939, jazz musician Bunny Berigan was famously charged $117 by the city of Bridgeport for permission to play the ballroom after missing a concert at the city's Pleasure Beach Ballroom.[10]
Famous cancellation[edit]
A dance scheduled for May 22, 1955, featuring Fats Domino was cancelled by the Bridgeport Police Department, citing worries about rock and roll music and a recent near riot at the New Haven Arena.[11]
WVOF hosts a weekly radio show featuring music, commentaries and interviews from the venue. Host Jeffrey Williams has also written a book, "Home of Happy Dancers" - The Story of Bridgeport, Connecticut's Ritz Ballroom, on the venue, and declared 2011 the "Year of the Ritz" in honor of its being 50 years since it closed.[7][12] A "Ritz Supper Club" featuring big band music and jazz still plays local venues as of December 2011.[13]

'DWTS': A Surprise Couple Gets Eliminated — See the Results Here!
Update: Major spoiler alert! Sorry, Sherri Shepherd, but that Mirror Ball trophy is no longer within your view. In a shocking twist, the comedic TV host was eliminated from the competition and asked to hang up her dancing shoes for good. It just goes to show that when it comes fan votes, almost anything is possible. We'll miss you, Sherri!
Earlier: Dancing With the Stars is always a tough show to predict. Since many of the stars are relatively unknown, you can never be too sure where the most vote tallies will fall. Despite their lower scores this week, Katherine Jenkins and William Levy will most likely survive on fans' support alone, but it's pretty much a gamble for a number of the other competitors.
Gavin DeGraw has found himself in the bottom three for the past few weeks, and while he's still managed to escape an actual elimination, his luck can only get him so far. And since he failed to impress during Rock Week, it's more than likely he'll face the hot seat once again.
Gladys Knight ended up at the very bottom of the leaderboard receiving a mere 20 out of 30 points. Does the Queen of Soul have a strong enough fan base to help carry her on to the next round?
And then there's our injured contestants: Melissa Gilbert, who suffered a mild concussion and whiplash in the middle of April 9's show, and Maria Menounos who's already endured two broken ribs and multiple stress fractures in her foot. If neither of them are able to recover, viewers could see a forfeit in the near future (let's hope not — these ladies show some real potential).
But if Jack Wagner's elimination from week three taught us anything it's that anything can happen when left in the hands of the public. So what's it going to be, America? Who do you want to send packing? Sound off on your predictions in the comments below and check back here later tonight to find out who will be hanging up their dancing shoes for good.
Dancing With the Stars' result show airs Tuesday nights at 9 PM (ET/PT) on ABC.

All season long, the Firestone and Kenmore girls basketball teams have been putting up big numbers. Firestone is 9-1 overall and 5-0 in the City and Kenmore (8-2, 5-0) is led by senior guard Shanequa Williams, who is averaging almost 35 points a game.
The two teams will matchup 7 p.m. Thursday at Kenmore in a game that should be very competitive and entertaining.
Kenmore is a young team and has been playing without junior point guard Markayla Powers, who fractured her finger in the first few minutes of the season-opening loss to Copley. Howard is expected to return to action next Thursday.
Also, Courtney Palmer (knee) is out for the season for the Cardinals.
Firestone is led by junior guard Imani Gordon, who is averaging 23.5 points a game and the Falcons' only loss was a 45-42 decision to Canton South (9-1).
``We've been playing well considering the injuries we had and how young we are,'' Kenmore coach Yontami Jones said. ``Shanequa has really stepped up and been a leader.''
Firestone coach Audley McGill said: ``The way we're looking at it, we need to win for our quest to win the City (championship). But we also know that every game in the City is important, not just this one.''
