Senomyx gets FDA clearance for commercialization of Sweetmyx
Senomyx, a US-based producer of flavor ingredients for food, beverage and flavor industries, has received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the use of its new Sweetmyx flavor ingredient in beverage production.
The FDA has determined Sweetmyx to be Generally Recognized As Safe under the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
The consent paves a way for PepsiCo to use the new flavor in all non-alcoholic beverages across the world, under a collaborative agreement signed with Senomyx in August 2010.
Meanwhile, Firmenich has lifetime rights to use the Sweetmyx flavor for food product categories and alcoholic beverages until March 2018.
Sweetmyx ingredient is a flavor with modifying properties that is used as part of a flavor system, which enables low-sugar foods and beverages to retain the taste.
Senomyx president and CEO John Poyhonen said that the new Sweetmyx flavor ingredient will enable the creation of lower-calorie beverages and foods that have reduced sweeteners without sacrificing taste.
"We are particularly excited about the versatility of Sweetmyx since it allows for the reduction of either sucrose or fructose in products," added Poyhonen.

Why was the report written? Marketers in the Beer, Cider & Pre-mixed Spirits market face a major challenge. Understanding market size and segmentation is valuable, but the key to effective targeting is knowing just how valuable specific consumer groups are, and being able to quantify the impact of consumer trends. This data report solves these problems by providing survey-based data on consumer trends and consumer groups, and market data that shows the exact size of consumer groups, how much of the Beer, Cider & Pre-mixed Spirits market they account for, and which consumer trends drive their behavior. What is the current market landscape and what is changing? As consumer confidence increases with economic recovery, consumer trends will be directly affected. Since the global financial crisis of 2008–2009 the organized retail market has been characterized by an increase in the amount of discounted and own-brand products.

As economic and market recovery continues over 2012, consumption patterns will record a positive trend in both the medium and heavy frequency bands and the amount of non-users should decrease. What are the key drivers behind recent market changes? Consumers' uptake of products and the influence of consumer trends are fundamental causes of change in markets – making knowing what these trends are and the extent of their influence crucial. The survey-based data provided in this report examines over 20 consumer trends that affect the market and examines the share of consumption across 26 consumer groups.

Review: 'Blood and Gifts'
Despite a well-grounded and admirably lucid production helmed by LCT resident director Bartlett Sher, new play "Blood and Gifts" has no heart.
Despite a well-grounded and admirably lucid production helmed by LCT resident director Bartlett Sher, new play "Blood and Gifts" has no heart.
Teaching the young proves a treacherous business for both tutor and students in "Seminar."
New York City was junkie heaven (and hell) in the 1970s, an era that Dael Orlandersmith views from an unconventional perspective in "Horsedreams."
The New Group seems to have taken Thomas Bradshaw's semi-pornographic play "Burning" very seriously, and they would probably like us to do likewise.
There's history behind "Standing on Ceremony: the Gay Marriage Plays," a feel-good show celebrating gay marriage.
Sam Waterston has played Hamlet, Prince Hal, Benedick and Prospero, so it's only fitting that he would tackle King Lear for his 12th appearance at the Public Theater in a Shakespeare play.
LCT3, Lincoln Center's workshop lab for incubating new theatrical talent, opens its fourth season with the kind of show that workshops are made for -- a promising play that isn't quite there yet.
Helmer Joe Mantello did a savvy job of recasting "Other Desert Cities" for its Broadway transfer.
Labyrinth Theater Company, ordinarily so canny about the material it develops in house, misfires badly on its season opener.
David Henry Hwang puts a happy face on "Chinglish," his new play about a naive American entrepreneur who crashes head-first into language and cultural barriers when he tries to do business in China.

Fight Club Politics: How Partisanship Is Poisoning the House of RepresentativesThe House of Representatives the "people's House" is supposed to be the body of government closest to ordinary citizens, reflecting their needs and desires. But it has drifted from its roots in recent years, as lawmakers have become deaf to voters and fixated on maintaining their power inside the Beltway. Just over a decade ago Republicans wrested control of the chamber from Democrats, who had ruled uninterrupted for four decades. They promised to make the House more open and responsive to voters, and these GOP revolutionaries instituted several reforms that did make the House less corrupt. But over time they have lost this heady spirit of reform, as they ve punished members who buck the party line and relegated Democrats to the legislative sidelines. Even as Republicans were revamping the House in Washington, party operatives across the country were changing it by redrawing the political maps that decide who gets elected to Congress and who doesn t. Redistricting - the traditional decennial rite in which the country divvies up citizens into voting blocs and maps out new congressional seats in all 50 states - is an inside game that gets little attention outside academia and a tight circle of political pundits. But it is key in understanding why men and women on the far right and far left now control the levers of power in Washington. House members now hail from overwhelmingly Democratic or Republican districts, which means that they spend most of their time catering to their party s base. And once they win their first race they are virtually assured of reelection for as long as they wish, giving them little incentive to focus on what their constituents want, or need. We are now facing a national divide, in which lawmakers are less accountable to the public and more beholden to party leaders. Fight Club Politics will show how our current political system has silenced the average American voter, and how ordinary citizens can reclaim the institution that claims to represent them.

India's censor board said Thursday it has blocked the release of "Fifty Shades of Grey" despite being shown a toned-down version of the erotic movie. The chief executive of the powerful Central Board of Film Certification, said the US film had not received clearance but could try again. "It did not pass, but it is not unusual as many mainstream films don't get clearance in the first step, people have the option to go for a revising committee's opinion," Shravan Kumar told the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency. In the second step, a wider committee will review the film." A source at Universal Pictures, the film's backers, told AFP that it had been refused certification in India with a 4-1 vote against.

I received this as a sample from my local Sephora after speaking with consultant about various Kate products. I was hesitant to take this one and use it as i get oily thru the day and can have sensitive skin and prone to breakout if a product is too heavy and clogs my pores... so I was convinced and Oil would be a terrible thing. WOW was I wrong, this oil kept my skin from getting oily and it never looked better!! I looked refreshed and smooth with no breakouts after 2 wks! My samples ran out and I rushed to buy this!!Washington, D.C.Oily1 - 4 weeksYes02/28/2015A must for oily skin!! (I know....oil on oil)
I suffer from oily skin and from the number of skin consultations I've received, I'm told my skin needs lots of moisture to control the over production of sebum. Well, this oil is like magic!

Originally published in 1937, there have been many reprints, limited editions, special editions, rebound editions and not-so-special editions published.
This is one of the nicest limited editions ever published, and I have a few in differing states..
Originally printed in 1978 by Guild Publishing in London, this is leather bound with spectacular gold embellishments to the cover and spine. It contains all of the same two color illustrations by Tolkien himself found in all other editions as well as all of the original maps.
It is a spectacular edition worthy of any fine library or discriminating Tolkien collection. And if you are looking for a nice gift for a Tolkien collector, there is a good chance they don't have this as it is not very common! Indulge yourself and grab it before someone else does!!
A FEW WORDS ON TOLKIEN COLLECTIBILITY... I have been collecting Tolkien books for over 30 years and it really galls me to find people selling items for ridiculous prices claiming they are "rare" or "highly collectible"; and what's worse is, naive people are paying it~! The fact is, there are relatively few "RARE" Tolkien items on eBay and most of the stuff claimed as such, just isn't. Granted, some may be hard to find, but not rare. In order to be a VALUABLE collectible, the books need to be immaculate or close to it, a scarce or extremely early printing of an early edition and if it comes with a dust jacket, that too should be close to fine. Otherwise, they are just common items not worth much, but people are paying gobs of cash, caught up in the frenzy.
Before you pay high bucks
SPECIAL OFFER: This is one of MANY GIFT EDITIONS I am selling including special editions of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings books. If you buy The Lord Of The Rings Guild edition with this book, I will ship them both free of postage via media mail, anywhere in the USA! (Multiple Book Sets count as 1 item)
To see all the gift editions that qualify, CLICK HERE or go to the ADVANCED SEARCH in eBay and copy and paste the word ALANSGIFTEDITIONS into the eBay search box, and then check the SEARCH TITLE AND DESCRIPTIONS box.
For any of the other hundreds of items I have available use the link at the bottom of the page. And if you have any requests, by all means, send me an email; if I have it, I'll list it right away for you (no off eBay sales...)
Regarding Auctions & the Item...I am a private collector of art, books, music (10,000 records alone!) and "stuff" and am very picky about what I buy. I don't like surprises when I buy things from auctions any more than you do. I promise everything there is to know about this item is in this description. I also do not subscribe to "grading" as frankly, grading is totally inconsistent and most of the "graders" TRULY have no clue, so I will use plain English if it is ok with you...
FYI, I was recently contacted by another eBayer claiming this is not real leather. It looks, smells and feels like leather, but as I am not a cow and cannot be 100% certain it is, I just thought I'd mention it... For over a decade, I have sold tens of thousands of items on eBay and have only received a handful of complaints about the accuracy in my descriptions. Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of...
I have LOTS of music items, and tons of books available for purchase. Please check my other offerings to see if there is anything else you might be interested in for combined shipping. There are links above and below and why not bookmark my site to make it easier to find at a later date!
PAYMENT TERMS: Pretty simple. Pay me, I send it!
Please Read on... GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK!I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded!
WHEN YOU ARE DONE BIDDING, winners agree to pay promptly once they receive a final invoice.
All of the payment info you need will follow. California deliveries will require sales tax.
PAYMENT OPTIONS: SHIPPING INFO: IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to the address as noted in PAYPAL'S "TRANSACTION DETAILS". If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address. Shipping costs will be determined by weight & destination, but media mail postage is FREE within the USA! You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the item's picture for all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live.
International deliveries all go by Priority Mail and usually arrive within 1-2 weeks. BE AWARE, you may need to pay Customs fees over which I have no control!

Feb 09, 2015 at 1:09 PMI haven't played in forever. I prefer to start getting control of South America and then I'll get as much of a foothold into North America as I can. When I start I move aggressively to take North America.
I like South America, because it has only two external contact territories and it's easy to earn with only four territories. Australia is a second, but only having one external contacting territory means you can get stuck.
Let's be honest... There's one thing that most people would love to experience with holography... I'll leave that to your imagination though.
On a technical side though, being able to collaborate over design or share a virtual whiteboard. On a gaming side, games like Minecraft seem obvious, but I'd like to see what it could do in other genres. On the hobby side it'd be cool to show me a 3rd person view while rock crawling so that I can more easily pick my lines and ensure my tires are where I want them to be. (Think switching to the 3rd person view versus cockpit view in any racing game.)
It'll be messy for awhile as things slowly migrate, but it should be great if it delivers on its promises. I hope my future experiences are better than my first run-in where a docking device by Plugable [sic] repeatedly caused bug checks (DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE). I realize it has nothing to do with the 3.x standard, but fair or not it will be judged by the quality of devices that use it.
Nice tip. The brace formatting hurts my heart though.

The short story - It's my initials, and most people that don't know me IRL just say the first three letters (so you'd say tee-gee-rrr).

Because of my name I also go by agrt and for sites that need a longer Id I use agrtga for where I live. Not terribly imaginative, but after 10x failed Id choices you stop caring what the Id is.

Movie Info
The serine waters of Lake Placid stir once again in this sequel that finds laid-back Sheriff James Riley (John Schneider) teaming with an inquisitive Fish and Wildlife Agent (Sarah LaFleur), a quick-triggered big game hunter (Sam McMurray), and his intuitive guide (Joe Holt) to investigate suspicions that another killer crock may be on the loose in the rural community. Two years ago, a pair of thirty foot-long prehistoric crocodiles terrorized the residents of Lake Placid. While most of the … More

All Critics (5) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (4) | DVD (1)
Jokes fall flat, exposition is slim, and the story is pretty ridiculous.
As typically second-rate as one might've anticipated...
In my opinion, there can never be too many giant crocodile movies.
The producers forgot that you shouldn't hint at a sequel if you're not sure anybody will want one. And judging from this limp, cheesy franchise entry, nobody will.
Follow the basic "killer croc" template if you must, fellas, but jeez, would it kill you to try something even remotely different?
Audience Reviews for Lake Placid 2
So I got into the Lake Placid Kick, figured I would rent all 4 movies and sit back and enjoy. After seeing the first one I thought I am in for some great movie times and laughts. The first one was great and thats where it stops. Lake Placid 2 An unnecessary and useless sequel to the self-mocking and campy comedy/horror Lake Placid. Not one of the original cast signed on for this dog, a very good decision on their part. Well, the baby crocodiles you see in the closing of the other movie apparently have grown up, and now have decided to pick up where their parents left off, and eat lots of people.
John Schneider is the sheriff, and just grins a lot. Cloris Leachman reprises Betty White's nut job (as her sister), but without the funny lines. A big game hunter with grenade launchers fails to match Oliver Platt's role, and the Bridgette Fonda look-alike also does nothing. Sheriff John has summertime custody of a poor actor teen son, in order to introduce some annoying cardboard cutout screaming teens. Since Croc Jr. seems to have an appetite for annoying cardboard cutout screaming teens, you quickly realize what their function to the story is, and you find yourself rooting for the croc to eat them as soon as possible. There's one idiotic scene, apparently ripped off from the 3 Stooges, where a croc victim is talking while the creature behind him waits patiently for him to shut up, before devouring him.
Nothing interesting happens. Really a bad movie, that fails at both horror and comedy. All it does is waste your time 1 Star 11 -12-13
Super Reviewer
Super Reviewer
After the timid and tedious Black Water this was the exact shot of Croc needed to lift spirits. Essentially a remake of the original with all the hilarious banter replaced with hilariously bad CGI and acting. It's a pleasant waste of time, the sort of film you laugh at and enjoy laughing at. There are a few glaring mistakes in the script and a bizarre rabbit sub-plot or something but hell there's also plenty of senseless kills and many boobies.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Pretty terrible, but I was in the mood for killer crocodiles. The film makers must have known it was bad, because the DVD actually has a feature where you can watch the movie where they fast forward to all the nudity, death scenes and one-liners.

Why do you have to fill out all these complicated forms at all?
Why don't you just lie on your taxes? You don't lie because you're worried that the IRS will catch you. And why do you worry about that? Because all the various entities who've paid you over the course of the past year have to submit paperwork about your income. Your employer, your bank, your stock broker, etc.—record and transmit almost all relevant information about your money to the IRS, meaning that if you lie you'll get caught. But by the same token, the IRS could simply collect all this information and send you a tax bill. You could read it over, sign at the bottom, and either include a check or wait for your refund. It wouldn't be fun, exactly, but it would sure be simple.
Needless to say, taxpayers should have the right to dispute the veracity of the IRS's calculations and submit their own form. And some classes of people are going to routinely have unusually complicated tax finances. Journalists, for example, often have miscellaneous travel expenses related to freelance assignments. People running substantial small businesses will still need accountants. But for the vast majority of the population, most of the pain of tax compliance could be eliminated by a few keystrokes at IRS headquarters. So why don't we do it? Two reasons. One is lobbying by the tax preparation industry to discourage states and the feds from developing easier tax-paying systems, as California recently did. The second is lobbying by anti-tax conservatives. When the Golden State implemented its ReadyReturn system, it did so over the objections of Grover Norquist and his anti-tax pressure group Americans for Tax Reform, which fears that if taxes become less annoying voters might be less unhappy about paying them. After all, if the government did something to make your life easier it would be harder to tout the difficulty of tax compliance as a reason to abolish the progressive rate structure.

European Food Safety Authority
Authority overview | |
Formed | 21 February 2002 |
Jurisdiction | European Union |
Headquarters | Parma, Italy |
Motto | Committed to ensuring that Europe's food is safe |
Authority executive | Bernhard Url, Executive Director |
Key document | Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 |
Website | www |
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is the agency of the European Union (EU) that provides independent scientific advice and communicates on existing and emerging risks associated with the food chain.[1][2] EFSA was established in February 2002, is based in Parma, Italy and had a budget for 2008 of € 65.9 million.
The work of EFSA covers all matters with a direct or indirect impact on food and feed safety, including animal health and welfare, plant protection and plant health and nutrition. EFSA supports the European Commission, the European Parliament and EU member states in taking effective and timely risk management decisions that ensure the protection of the health of European consumers and the safety of the food and feed chain. EFSA also communicates to the public in an open and transparent way on all matters within its remit.
EFSA is composed of four bodies:[2]
- Management Board
- Executive Director
- Advisory Forum
- Scientific Committee and Scientific Panels
The Management Board sets the budget, approves work programmes, and is responsible for ensuring that EFSA co-operates successfully with partner organisations across the EU and beyond. It is composed of fourteen members appointed by the Council of the European Union in consultation with the European Parliament from a list drawn up by the European Commission, plus one representative of the European Commission.
The Executive Director is EFSA's legal representative and is responsible for day-to-day administration, drafting and implementing work programmes, and implementing other decisions adopted by the Management Board. They are appointed by the Management Board.
The Advisory Forum advises the Executive Director, in particular in drafting a proposal for the EFSA's work programmes. It is composed of representatives of national bodies responsible for risk assessment in the Member States, with observers from Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and the European Commission.
The Scientific Committee and its Scientific Panels provide scientific opinions and advice, each within their own sphere of competence, and are composed of independent scientific experts. The number and names of the Scientific Panels are adapted in the light of technical and scientific development by the European Commission at EFSA's request. The independent scientific experts are appointed by the Management Board upon a proposal from the Executive Director for three-year terms.
EFSA Journal[edit]
The scientific output of the European Food Safety Authority is published in the EFSA Journal, an open-access, online scientific journal. This concerns risk assessment in relation to food and feed and includes nutrition, animal health and welfare, plant health and plant protection.[3]
EFSA has been criticised for their alleged overregulation,[4] as well as allegations of "frequent conflicts of interest".[5]

It's a job once viewed as glamorous, but these days, not so much. It involves a lot of time away from home. And it takes a lot of time and money to get the needed training to get a license and a job -- but the pay's not all that great.
Sound familiar? I could easily be talking about trucking, but in this case, I'm referring to an article in the Wall Street Journal about the "pilot crisis."

A victim of the recession, I didn't want to spend a lot of extra money for a mashtun. I picked up a 70 qt Coleman Xtreme at Walmart for $38. Now the one I converted for my son cost an additional $60 for hardware. He went SS ball valve and a 2 channel copper manifold. For mine I took the plastic bulk head vale off one of my ale pails. It fit perfectly in the cooler opening. Instead of using the plastic nut on the inside of the cooler, I got a copper 3/4" female to 1/2" fitting, Cost $5.37 at Lowes. I had a left over piece of copper pipe from my son's mashtun and made a single manifold the length of the cooler and got a copper cap for 53 cents. Did not solder anything. Hope the valve can stand the heat, will test it out this week and get back with the results.
Joe "Life is too short to drink cheap beer."
You could use brass ball valves too, they are cheaper and work great. Sounds like you did a pretty good job creating a great mash tun. I personally don't think having the super hot wort running through those cheap plastic valves is going to be good for the long term, plus plastic can get yucky over time. Granted you're not worried about much bacteria at that point since it's all pre-boil. I think you'd be fine for a few batches but I'd probably look into another valve when the funds are there.
Yeah, I was thinking about the temperature, after we got off the phone. I forgot to call you back. Like the guy above me said, you can probably get away with a cheap brass one for a few bucks and it will definitely outlast the plastic. You figure by time you drain out, its probably only running in the 140s, maybe low 150s if you mashed high.
Update. Did first 5 gallon batch today. Valve was fine, no leaking and no discernible problem with heat. Also single manifold was very effective and I didn't notice any difference from 2 channel manifold.

Are plastic spouts rated to withstand that type of temps? There might be a chance of plastic leeching into the wort.

FALL RIVER, Mass. — A judge on Thursday denied bail for former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a friend.
Hernandez's lawyer argued that Hernandez is not a risk to flee and the case against him is circumstantial.
But a prosecutor said the evidence is "overwhelming." A search of a Hummer belonging to Hernandez turned up an ammunition clip matching the caliber of casings found at the scene of the killing of Odin Lloyd, the prosecutor said.
Lloyd's body was discovered by a jogger in a remote area of an industrial park not far from Hernandez's home 10 days ago. He has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors called Lloyd's killing an execution-style shooting orchestrated by Hernandez because his friend talked to the wrong people at a nightclub. Hernandez could face life in prison, if convicted.
Hernandez was cut from the NFL team less than two hours after he was arrested and led from his North Attleborough home in handcuffs, and nine days after Lloyd's body was discovered. The 2011 Pro Bowl selection had signed a five-year contract last summer with the Patriots worth $40 million.
Another man, Carlos Ortiz, 27, was arrested Wednesday in Hernandez's hometown of Bristol, Conn., as part of the murder investigation, New Britain State's Attorney Brian Preleski said Thursday. Ortiz was charged as a fugitive from justice and waived extradition to Massachusetts. Prison records show he is being held on $1.5 million bail at a Hartford jail.
Ortiz's public defender, Alfonzo Sirica, declined to comment about the case.
In the meantime, police have been searching a third-floor unit in a condo complex in Franklin, Mass., that Hernandez had visited in recent weeks, according to the unit's next-door neighbor.
Condo resident Carol Bailey said that starting Wednesday and continuing Thursday, police removed items from the modest, two-bedroom rental unit and asked her questions about its occupants. She said a new tenant told her in May that he was moving in with his cousin, and she realized later that the second man he had referred to that way was the Patriots player.
"I thought, 'This is Aaron Hernandez. He's renting a place here so he can have some peace and quiet,'" the retiree said Thursday.
The Ledgewood Condominiums resident said she didn't see the two men often, but Hernandez always had a hoodie pulled up when she saw him.
"I think all of us who recognized who it was didn't want to invade his privacy," she said of neighbors.
Bailey said she believed a black Hummer with expired, temporary Ohio tags that was parked at the complex was driven by someone in the condo. She said police towed away the Hummer on Wednesday.
Lloyd, 27, a semi-pro football player with the Boston Bandits, had known Hernandez for about a year and was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee, the mother of Hernandez's 8-month-old baby, Bristol County Assistant District Attorney Bill McCauley said.

Manchester City are understood to be in talks with Espanyol over Spanish Under-21 international defender Victor Ruiz.
The 21-year-old Catalan spent time with Barcelona as youngster, but he moved onto Espanyol and progressed through their youth set-up.
He established himself in the Espanyol first team last year and he has won caps for Spain at every age level up to the Under-21s.
City are understood to have travelled to Spain last week to talk with both the club and player, following the derby with Barcelona.
City are believed to be ready to offer €9million for the player, who has a buy-out clause of €12million - but they do not look likely to go that high.
The Premier League side also need to convince Ruiz to move to England, as reports suggest he is not overly keen at the prospect of being a squad player at the City of Manchester Stadium.
Italian outfit Napoli are also keen, but Espanyol sources suggest that Ruiz will end up with City, on a four-and-half-year deal.

Pearl Tull is nearing the end of her life but not of her memory. It was a Sunday night in 1944 when her husband left the little row house on Baltimore s Calvert Street, abandoning Pearl to raise their three children alone: Jenny, high-spirited and determined, nurturing to strangers but distant to those she loves; the older son, Cody, a wild and incorrigible youth possessed by the lure of power and money; and sweet, clumsy Ezra, Pearl s favorite, who never stops yearning for the perfect family that could never be his own. Now Pearl and her three grown children have gathered together again with anger, hope, and a beautiful, harsh, and dazzling story to tell."

Hanging craft
A hanging craft is a decoration, an amulet, a religious or a symbolic object that is hung from the ceiling or another structure. The sculptor Alexander Calder invented the mobiles, popular in the nursery, to give infants something to entertain them and give them external visual stimulation.[1] Kakemono, a Japanese hanging, is intended to be hung against a wall as part of the interior decoration of a room.[2]
Hanging crafts can project abstract shapes fashioned from sheet metal, wood, paper or plastic materials, connected by wire or chord, whose individual elements are capable of moving independently or as a whole when prompted by air movement or direct contact. Heavy hangings are hung with a lag bolt with deep grooves in the threads for maximum grip, or with a toggle bolt that uses a large collapsible nut to increase clamping pressure of the bolt.[3]

The hallways smelled fresh and not stale. The rooms were fresh smelling. My daughter and I were impressed with the linen! The pillows were exceptionally comfy and we both slept well. The location was great also. We were accessible to the expressway, a few stores and restaurants. The entrance and exit to and the hotel were nice as well.

The hotel overall is well maintain, cell room, with breakfast in the morning and in a great location. There is this one staff member that need some training on customer service and greeting customers. Fist she did not have a name tag on and the fist thing she said to my wife and I was check in is 4pm before she said anything else to us. It wasn't until I showed her my Hilton's Honor member card that she changed her mind and checked us in. I'm sure that Hilton hotels do not appreciate members of their staff that greet customer like this. Now, there was this other staff member that was very helpful to us later on that night when we were trying to find an address in the near by area of University Park. She gave complete detail information and even gave us the hotel's number for us to call if we had any other question on how to get there. ...
