In the first half of the novel, Quixote and Sancho seem like caricatures of idealism and realism. Philosophical idealism holds that reality is primarily a set of ideas, private mental constructs; political idealism holds that ideas can meaningfully transform the human world. Philosophical realism holds that reality is primarily material, and that its qualities exist independently of human perception and interpretation. Quixote sees the world around him as a set of beliefs about honor, goodness, gallantry, and courage, and as an opportunity for social change on a large scale; Sancho sees a world filled with detail, with sounds, smells, and textures, and as an opportunity to eat well and sleep deeply. Quixote is tall and skinny, a stereotypical dreamer, while Sancho is squat and round, a bit of a glutton, a lover of earthly things. Quixote tries to fit the world into a set of pre-determined rules, while Sancho faces each event on its own terms.
In parallel with this philosophical scenario, the novel engages with notions of literary realism. The novel as a whole mocks the absurdities, omissions, and general failures of realism in chivalry novels, because its premise is a character who tries to live in the world as though chivalry novels were perfectly realistic. Quixote's endless difficulties and humiliations can be traced to the failures of realism in chivalry tales. But though the narrator acknowledges that chivalry tales are unrealistic, he also makes fun of characters who believe that literature should be realistic exclusively. The priest, especially, is the target of this mockery. The priest's conversations with the canon and with the innkeeper show that any one person's attempt to define realism in literature will necessarily fail to be objective, and will instead reflect that person's private vision of the world. The narrator's disdain for the priest's ideas of literary realism is also a rejection of philosophical realism. These realisms don't take into account the one consistent truth of the novel – the idea that the world is a collection of different perspectives.
Yet the narrator does not come out squarely on one side or the other; the world he creates is tangled, and gives no easy answers. Like public and private truth, realism and idealism must ultimately be integrated, until the difference between them almost disappears. Quixote and Sancho do not remain stereotypes, with distinct sets of qualities: they grow out of their stereotypes into more complete human beings.

Literature, Realism, and Idealism Quotes in Don Quixote
And to what can my barren and ill-cultivated mind give birth except the history of a dry, shriveled child, whimsical and full of extravagant fancies that nobody else has ever imagined – a child born, after all, in prison, where every discomfort has its seat and every dismal sound its habitation?
… from beginning to end [the book] is an invective against books of chivalry ... All that has to be done is to make the best use of imitation in what one writes.
In short, our hidalgo was soon so absorbed in these books that his nights were spent reading from dusk till dawn, and his days from dawn till dusk, until the lack of sleep the excess of reading withered his brain, and he went mad. … The idea that this whole fabric of famous fabrications was real so established itself in his mind that no history in the world was truer for him.
And since whatever our adventurer thought, saw, or imagined seemed to him to be as it was in the books he'd read, as soon as he saw the inn he took it for a castle with its four towers and their spires of shining silver.
I know who I am … and I know that I can be not only all of those whom I have mentioned, but every one of the Twelve Peers of France, and every one of the Nine Worthies as well, because all the deeds performed by them both singly and together will be exceeded by mine.
But Don Quixote was so convinced that they were giants that he neither heard his squire Sancho's shouts nor saw what stood in front of him.
He didn't sleep in all the night, thinking about his lady Dulcinea, to conform with what he'd read in his books.
… historians should and must be precise, truthful and unprejudiced, without allowing self-interest or fear, hostility or affection, to turn them away from the path of truth, whose mother is history.
… for in those very many [histories] that I have read, I have not found any mention of knights errant eating, except when it happened that some sumptuous banquet was held for them, but otherwise they used to live on next to nothing.
…for in [Dulcinea] all the chimerical attributes of loveliness that poets ascribe to their ladies become reality.
…wondering whether the beating was dishonorable or not doesn't bother me in the slightest – all that does bother me is the pain of those staff-blows.
…Cide Mahamate Benengeli was a careful and meticulous historian, something that's obvious enough, for he refused to pass in silence over the happenings related so far, even though they're so petty and trivial.
And the poor hidalgo was so besotted that neither touch nor smell nor any of the good maiden's other attributes could make him notice his mistake, even though they'd have made anyone but a muleteer vomit.
Every minute of every hour of his imagination was filled with those battles, enchantments, adventures, loves, and challenges that books of chivalry recount, and everything he said, thought, or did was channeled into such affairs.
You can sleep, you were born to sleep – indeed you can do as you wish – but I shall behave as I consider befits my aspirations.
What a string of absurdities you have come out with now, Sancho! What connection is there between what we are discussing and all those proverbs you have just threaded together?
…whatever I have done, am doing, and shall do is totally reasonable and in conformity with the rules of chivalry.
Is it possible that in all the time you have been with me you have failed to realize that all things appertaining to us knights errant seem like chimeras, follies, and nonsenses, because they have all been turned on their head? Not because that is their real state, but because we are always attended by a crew of enchanters.
…the poets themselves invent most of [their ladies], to have something to write their poetry about, and to make people think that they are in love and that they have it in them to be lovers.
…I imagine that everything I say is precisely as I say it is, and I depict her in my imagination as I wish her to be, both in beauty and in rank.
That's the kind of love… that I've heard in sermons we're supposed to feel for our Lord – for his own sake, without being moved by hopes of glory or fears of punishment. Though I must say I'd prefer to love him for what he can do for me.
I don't understand how that can be so, because to my mind there isn't a better read anywhere in the world … at harvest time, you see, lots of the reapers come in here on rest-days, and there are always some who can read, and one of them picks up one of these books, and more than thirty of us gather around him, and we enjoy listening to it so much that it takes all our worries away.
A good woman is also like a mirror of clear, shining glass, but any breath that touches this mirror will cloud and dim it. She should be treated like a holy relic, adored but not touched.
This peace is the true goal of war.
It is possible that, since you have not been knighted, as I have, the enchantments in this place do not affect you, and that your understanding is unclouded, and that you can form judgments about the affairs of the castle as they really and truly are, rather than as they appeared to me.
But one man had been plunged into the deepest depths of despair, and that was the barber, whose basin, there before his very eyes, had turned into Mambrino's helmet, and whose pack-saddle, he was very sure, was about to turn into the splendid caparisons of some handsome steed.
Yet maybe the chivalry and the enchanting of these times of ours follow different paths from those of earlier days.
And even though the main point of such books is to amuse, I don't know how they can succeed when they're full of so many monstrous absurdities, because the soul can only take delight in the beauty and harmony that it sees or contemplates in what the eyes or the imagination places before it, and nothing than contains ugliness or disorder can give any pleasure.
…whereas drama should, as Cicero puts it, be a mirror of human life, an exemplar of customs and an image of truth, there modern plays are just mirrors of absurdity, exemplars of folly and images of lewdness.
… enchantment can take many different forms, and it could be that these have changed in the course of time, so that what happens nowadays is that the enchanted do all the things that I do, even though formerly they did not. So one cannot either argue against the customs of the times, or draw any conclusions from them.
You go wherever you like, and eat as much as you can; I am fully satisfied already, and only need refection for my spirit, which I shall obtain by listening to this good fellow's story.
O pride of your family, honour and glory of all La Mancha and all the world – now that you've gone from it, it'll fill up with evil-doers who won't be frightened of being punished for their wicked ways! ... O you who were humble to the haughty and haughty to the humble, tackler of dangers, taker of insults, in love without a cause, imitator of the good, scourge of the wicked, enemy of villains – in a word, knight errant, and that says it all!
I am merely striving to make the world understand the delusion under which it labours in not renewing within itself the happy days when the order of knight-errantry carried all before it. But these depraved times of ours do not deserve all those benefits enjoyed by the ages when knights errant accepted as their responsibility and took upon their shoulders the defense of kingdoms, the relief of damsels, the succour of orphans and wards, and chastisement of the arrogant and the rewarding of the humble.
We shall soon see where this great fabric of absurdities leaves this knight and this squire – anyone would think they'd been made in the same mold, and that the madness of the master wouldn't be worth a farthing without the foolishness of the man.
… the envy that some evil enchanter must feel for all my affairs transforms all things that can give me pleasure into shapes quite unlike their real ones; and so I fear that if perchance the author of the history of my exploits that is said to be in print is some hostile sage, he has no doubt altered everything, mingling a thousand lies with one truth.
And so, O Sancho, our works must not stray beyond the limits imposed by the Christian religion that we profess. In slaying giants, we must slay pride; in our generosity and magnanimity, we must slay envy; in our tranquil demeanor and serene disposition, we must slay anger; in eating as little as we do and keeping vigil as much as we do, we must slay gluttony and somnolence; in our faithfulness to those whom we have made the mistresses of our thoughts, we must slay lewdness and lust; in wandering all over the world in search of opportunities to become famous knights as well as good Christians, we must slay sloth.
Look here, you heretic: have I not told you over and over again that in all the days of my life I have never seen the peerless Dulcinea, and have never crossed the threshold of her palace, and am enamoured only by hearsay of her fame as a beautiful and intelligent lady?
On my faith as a knight errant… when I saw this cart I imagined that it heralded some great adventure, and now I do declare that appearances must be examined closely to discover the hidden truth.
With every day that passes by, dear Sancho, … you lose some foolishness and gain some sense.
[Knight-errantry] is a subject … that contains within itself all or most of the other subjects in the world.
…the ploy of these enchanters who pursue me is to place before my eyes things as they are, and then change them into what they want them to be.
An ass you are, an ass you will remain and an ass you will still be when you end your days on this earth, and it is my belief that when you come to breathe your last you still will not have grasped the fact that you are an animal.
Although they look like water-mils, that is not what they are: I have already told you that enchantments transfigure al things and deprive them of their natural forms. I don't mean to say that they really convert them from one thing into another, but that it seems as if they do.
In this adventure two mighty enchanters must have clashed headlong, and one of them impedes whatever the other attempts: one provided me with the boat, the other knocked me out of it. May God send a remedy; for everything in this world is trickery, stage machinery, every part of it working against every other part. I have done all I can.
…Don Quixote was amazed by what was happening; and that was the first day when he was fully convinced that he was a real knight errant, not a fantasy one, seeing himself treated in the same way as he'd read that such knights used to be treated in centuries past.
Sancho Panza's proverbs … give me more pleasure than others that are more timely and appropriate.
I consider it a good omen, my friends, to have seen what I have just seen, because these saintly knights professed, as I myself profess, the exercise of arms; but the difference between them and me is that they were saints, and fought in the manner of angels, and I am a sinner, and fight in the manner of men.
Yes, you eat up, friend Sancho … sustain life, which is of more interest to you than to me, and let me die at the hands of my thoughts and in the grasp of my misfortunes. I was born, Sancho, to live dying, and you were born to die eating.
I say it was an inn because that's what Don Quixote called it, contrary to his habit of calling all inns castles.
And yet it seems to me that translating from one language into another, except from those queens of languages, Greek and Latin, is like viewing Flemish tapestries from the wrong side, when, although one can make out the figures, they are covered by threads that obscure them, and one cannot appreciate the smooth finish of the right side.
What I can tell you is that there's no such thing as fortune, and whatever happens in this world, good and bad, does not occur by chance, but by special providence of heaven; and for this reason it is often said that every man is the architect of his own fortune. And I have been the architect of mine, but not with the necessary prudence, and so my presumption has led to disaster.
… the treasures of knights errant are like fairy gold, false and illusory.
They dismounted at an inn, which Don Quixote recognized as such and not as a castle with its deep moat, towers, portcullises and drawbridge; because now that he'd been defeated his judgment on all subjects was sounder, as will soon be shown.
My mind has been restored to me, and it is now clear and free, without those gloomy shadows of ignorance cast over me by my wretched, obsessive reading of those detestable books of chivalry. Now I can recognize their absurdity and their deceitfulness, and my only regret is that this discovery has come so late that it leaves me no time to make amends by reading other books that might be a light for my soul.
You must congratulate me, my good sirs, because I am no longer Don Quixote de la Mancha but Alonso Quixano, for whom my way of life earned me the nickname of "the Good". I am now the enemy of Amadis of Gaul and the whole infinite horde or his descendants; now all those profane histories of knight-errantry are odious to me; now I acknowledge my folly and the peril in which I was placed by reading them; now, by God's mercy, having at long last learned my lesson, I abominate them all.
For me alone was Don Quixote born, and I for him; it was for him to act, for me to write; we two are one.

Washington County honors black employees
John Williams grew up in Hillsboro, but when he got the chance, he left to join the Air Force.
More than two decades later, after service that took him to Great Britain and Dayton, Ohio, Williams made his way to Portland, where he lives today.
But Williams did end up back in Hillsboro, where he is a superintendent of support services/facilities.
"I love working out here every day," Williams said at a Feb. 6 gathering of county employees to observe Black History Month.
Williams was among half a dozen black employees to participate. They make up 2.3 percent of the Washington County government workforce of about 2,000 — slightly higher than the county's black population of 1.9 percent.
"They are part of what makes Washington County such an outstanding place as a public service organization. We all have much to be proud of in that regard," Board Chairman Andy Duyck said.
"You have all contributed immensely to what we are as an organization and as a nation."
This year's focus was on blacks in the U.S. armed forces.
Based on 2015 statistics, they constitute 17 percent of active-duty enlisted men and 31 percent of enlisted women. But not until the Civil War were they allowed to serve in the Union Army and Navy, and not until 1948 were they in racially integrated units.
Other speakers were Sonja Rietman, a lawyer with the Metropolitan Public Defender's Office; Geoffrey Kavulya, capital improvement manager with support services/facilities, and Vanessa Savage, occupancy specialist in the Housing Services Department.
Komi Kalevor, assistant director of housing services, was the emcee. Kari Herinckx, program coordinator with community engagement, led the singing of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," the song by James Weldon Johnson often referred to as the black national anthem.
The county board adopted a Black History Month proclamation at its business meeting beforehand, preceded by a presentation from Djimet Dogo, executive director of the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization based in Portland.
County spokesman Philip Bransford said similar observances in honor of Washington County government's workforce are planned through the year.

|CHAPTER 11. Approaches and Landings
Soft and Rough Field Approaches and Landings
Landing on fi elds that are rough or have soft surfaces, such as snow, sand, mud, tall grass, or a rocky/bumpy fi eld requires unique procedures. When landing on such surfaces, the objective is to touch down as smoothly as possible and at the lowest possible landing speed. The pilot must control the aircraft so that the wings support the weight of the aircraft as long as is practical to minimize drag and stresses imposed on the landing gear by the rough or soft surface.
Similar to the soft fi eld for takeoff, proper gear—specifi cally big tires with a large wing and overall low weight—should be utilized for soft or rough fi eld operations. Refer to appropriate gear and warnings in Chapter 7, Takeoff and Departure Climbs, for soft or rough fi eld operation as a prerequisite for this chapter.
The approach for the soft fi eld landing is similar to the normal approach used for operating into long, fi rm landing areas. The major difference between the two is that, during the soft or rough fi eld landing, the distance on the soft/rough fi eld is minimized and the weight is kept off the wheels by the lift of the wing when on the soft/rough fi eld. Power can be used throughout the level-off and touchdown to ensure touchdown at the lowest possible airspeed, with the WSC aircraft fl own onto the ground with the weight fully supported by the wings. The touchdown should be planned for minimal taxi distance to the stopping point so there is the shortest possible distance with weight on the landing gear on the rough/soft surface. [Figure 11-23]
Touchdown on a soft or rough fi eld should be made at the lowest possible airspeed with the aircraft in a nose-high pitch attitude. After the main wheels touch the surface, the pilot should hold bar-forward pressure to keep the nosewheel off the surface. Using forward control bar pressure and engine power, the pilot can control the rate at which the weight of the aircraft is transferred from the wings to the wheels.
Field conditions may warrant that the pilot maintain a fl ight condition where the main wheels are just touching the surface, but the weight of the aircraft is still being supported by the wings until a suitable taxi surface is reached. At any time during this transition phase, before the weight of the aircraft is being supported by the wheels and before the nosewheel is on the surface, the pilot should be able to apply full power and perform a safe takeoff (obstacle clearance and fi eld length permitting) should the pilot elect to abandon the landing. Once committed to a landing, the pilot should gently lower the nosewheel to the surface. A slight reduction of power usually helps ease the nosewheel down.
The use of brakes on a soft fi eld is not needed and should be avoided as this tends to impose a heavy load on the nose gear due to premature or hard contact with the landing surface causing the nosewheel to dig in. The soft or rough surface itself provides suffi cient reduction in the aircraft's forward speed. Often upon landing on a very soft fi eld, the pilot needs to increase power to keep the aircraft moving and from becoming stuck on the soft surface.

Hello. We're here to let you in on a little secret. You might think that every night in the life of a BK food writer means gorging on the well-fattened livers of overstuffed ducks as we wait for the A5-marbled tomahawk to be ready. Well, here's news for you: it doesn't.
Most of the time you can find us at these places: delicious neighborhood and chain restaurants dishing out precision comfort food at prices that'll make you say, "No, no. It's my shout this time." And that's what this guide is all about. Pizzas, somtam, dim sum and tacos all get a look in when it comes time to make Best Eats—the annual guide which forgot to consult the food snobs and decided to focus on the stuff most of us eat, most of the time instead.
Just so happens they're also restaurants where you'll find some of Bangkok's best dishes: the oozing lava buns at Chef Man; the tonkotsu broth so thick you could chew on it at Bankara; the honey toast that kickstarted a dessert empire at After You. We could go on, but instead we'll shut up and let the restaurants of Best Eats 2016 do the talking themselves. Bon appetit!

Weekly travel playlist time!
This week I've titled 'Road Trip Records', because although I'm only putting forward two songs from each artist, their whole albums could carry you through a trip. There's a bunch of different stuff on them; upbeat, emosh, rocky, poppy, acoustic… Something for all ears. It's especially helpful if you only have a CD player and space in your bag for one CD. We've all been there.
Houndmouth – Say It
This song is nice and upbeat, and something I've definitely found myself shouting out to in the car…
"YOU AIN'T BEEN HAPPY FOR ABOUT A YEAR, CAUSE YOUR EXPECTATIONS ARE WAY UP HEERREE." (Something sort of like that)
Two of my other favourite's (that are titled in an incredibly apt manner for a road trip) are 'Gasoline' and 'On The Road'.
Click 'em up, you know you want to.
Raury – Devil's Whisper
I also recommend checking out his song 'Friends' (and the rest of the album 'All We Need'), partly for the song, but also because of the amahzing road trip music video. Plus it's called Friends, and they're always a nice addition to a trip. I mean, even if you're by yourself, you can bring some mates with you with this song's inclusion.
Happy Sunday!
P.S. The rest of the playlist so far can be found right here.

See I told you, this would help!
Going Nuts? I can help you understand coupon terms and abbreviations
Home > Walgreens > Walgreens Weekly Ad 7/25-7/31
This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure here.
It's another strange week at Walgreens. Lots of really low price deals, but very few Register Reward deals. There isn't anything to really make you a scenario with either. Don't pass over the list though, there are some deals worth grabbing if you are out.
To see the full weekly ad, go here.
If you are new to Walgreens read the getting started guide.
1. After creating your list go to "File", and "Print Preview"
2. Change size from "shrink to fit" to "100%"
yeah, not much this week at all!
What a lame ad!
cant get tums to print anyone else?
I know you can't use a RR for the same item, but can I alternate. Use RR from a Toothpaste purchase for the Razor, then use the RR from the razor to buy the the Toothpaste?
I was told by the cashier at Walgreens that they are doing away with register rewards soon. The will be moving to a card/points system. This may be the reason for fewer RRs as they are phasing them out.
First the rebate system, now register rewards? Bummer. I think they should have a system more like cvs where it is linked to your card. That way some are not abusing the system by buying too many and making lots of returns etc. According to the cashiers at my wags, some ladies really do things that are not ethical which ruins it for the rest of us. But if they don't at least offer something each week that is free I probably won't keep shopping there. There are too many others that offer loss leaders and good deals and my time is limited.
I've heard about the card/points system and I don't think I'd like it! I really want the Register Rewards program to stay. It definitely keeps me shopping at Walgreens. If it is discontinued, I probably won't be shopping there a whole lot anymore. Our town is going to get a CVS in the next few years though! I'll probably shop there!
WOW! No wonder the RR have been so "crappy" lately. I have found myself heading to CVS much more lately because of this. I also like the fact that I can just scan my card at CVS and get even more coupons. Oh well, we shall see!!!!
I have been told by customers at my store that they can use our RR at stores like publix and walmart….i dont know if that is true but i can see why walgreens would do away with it if it is…because were not making any money.
Anyone know how much Purex costs?
I'm not sure at walgreens, but this week in our paper Dollar General had 2 of the regular Purex 72oz, 2/$5! So I got them at Target & had them price match it:) Don't know if you can find that ad, it expires tomorrow- but at Target they are regulary $4.99 a piece I believe.
Publix has a 1.50 coupon for any Command products exp 8/31/10. Its located in their peach colored coupon book titled "Smart Savings – over $75 in savings". Check it out.Makes them free. There's some really good coupons in this booklet.
Tonight when I was at Walgreens, I said something about them not having as many RR here lately. The lady, whom I deal with often told me that Walgreens is going to start "shying" away from doing so many of them. My store is really good, they even keep coupons cut out for customers and keep them beside the register. She told me she just wanted to give me the heads up. They are not totally going to do away with it, just "shying" away. I feel this would be a mistake. They must be coming up with a new system, since so many are cracking it. Don't know ,just thinking.
Penny Pinchin Mom is in the test market for the new Walgreen's card & the point system. She describes it here: http://www.pennypinchinmom.com/2010/05/walgreens-new-rewards-card-more-information/
If this is where Wags is headed, I am for sure done with them! Don't care too much for them as it is.
Thanks for sharing that. It looks like a whole new system and nothing similar to the CVS system other than a card storing your information on it. Accruing points until payout makes me raise my eyebrows but I will wait to hear how it bowls over with the test cities. Apparently Walgreens has been listening to complaints about their current system's hiccups and they are trying to improve it. Only time will tell.
I had a very frustrating week at Walgreen's. The only school supplies I was able to get was the Bic highlighters .49, sheet protectors .29 & I found some 260 sheet college ruled paper on clearance .95. I went 4 different days & no Pilot pens, dividers, Dr Scholl's rough skin eraser or the 1.99 packs of paper. Then, they wouldn't let me use my $1/2 Bic coupon for the highlighters. Ugh! That's why I usually just do CVS.
I have found that the way you shop for school supplies IS by getting a little bit each week at multiple places; shop the best deals that week. the fastest way to accomplish that is have a list of all the places and items at each place and make "in-and-out" purchases. its fast, easy and you end up getting great deals! :))
i've been useing the school supplies, that i can use, as filters, so i'm basically getting pens, pencils, and notebooks for free with each purchase…
I completely agree !
I'm not a big Walgreen's fan. I'm thinking about going this week and trying them again. I had no luck last week with Dr. Scholl's.
I was wondering if this scenario would work.
If I use 1 manuf. coupon on tums and also use the coupon from the july booklet, then also use 1 printable dr. scholl's coupon with the coupon from the booklet. Can I use 4 total coupons and buy 2 items total or is this when the filler's come in and I have 2 have 2 fillers? Hope this makes sense. I would appreciate the tips from you walgreen pros!
the only time you need filler items is when you us a RR with the stacked coupons.
Why would you need a filler for a RR?
Walgreens considers RR's like coupons, so the number of items has to be equal or greater than store coupons + Manufacturer's coupons+ RR. If you have a store coupon and a manf. coupon and a RR, you must have 3 items to purchase, so you'd need 2 filler items. At least that is how it works at our store. YMMV. HTH
The store coupons don't count in your totals though. You just need to make sure that you have extra items without manufacturer coupons for each RR that you expect to print out. When using the RR they also count as a manufacturer coupon.
please refer to my statement above, do u think it would work??
i would throw in 3 total filles, just to cover the tax if coupon value is more than items cost.
The Dole Q in All You Aug is $1/3, not a very good deal…just a heads up.
what are the fillers for again? How are they used?
At Walgreens you have to have the same # of items as you have Manuf. coupons and RR. So, often you need a cheap "filler" to balance your ration when using RR to pay.
i've used a filter to even out the # of items vs. # of coupons/ rewards.easy example:
sale in weekly flyer reads: (this is an example, not a real deal going this week. lol)
1- oral-b toothbrush for $3.49 each
you have some b1bg free and a few $1.00 off coupons, plus you have a $3.00 worth of rewards, (1.00 and 2.00) from last week to pay for the difference..
you buy:(4) toothbrushes(4) NOTEBOOK, .29 EACH, YOUR FILLER8 items total
you use:
(2) B1G1 free coupons(4) 1.00 off coupons(2) 2 rewards, the 1.00 and 2.00 from last week.8 total coupons
the math goes something like this:
4 tooth brushes, 3.49x 4= 13.964 notebooks, .29x 4= 1.16total= 13.96minus b1g1 3.49 ech x 2=6.98bal. 6.98 dueminus 1.00 off x4= 4.00bal. 2.98 dueminus 1.00 reward= 1.00bal. 1.98 due minus 2.00 reward= 2.00bal. 0 they may charge tax, please don't quote me .. lol
now you can see how it works..
My issue of All You magazine has coupons for $1 off Dole fruit….but you have to buy 3 to get that dollar off. $1 off 3 isn't nearly as good as what I thought…$1 off one. :-(
My walgreens does not print RR if we use coupons for the item announced with RR.Is that the case with every walgreens?I am a cvs shopper,I never had such problem with them.Everytime I go to walgreens,it would result in some mess,I hate shopping at walgreens
This is only the case at some Walgreens, I would find a new one if I were you. I've been to more than 10 walgreens (moving around the country) and only 2 have not printed RR when you use coupons. Hope that helps!
New to shopping at Walgreens. Can I use 2 Qs on a BOGO deal???
Yup! The B1G1 deal is like a store coupon so since you are buying 2 items that means you can use to manufacturer Q's
It is Sunday 12:55. My WAGS is already almost out of the folders. I bought 5 (the limit). There is about 10 folders left. The store opened at 8 AM. If I had waited until tomorrow there would have been 0 folders. Why doesn't the store get a reasonable amount of inventory for the sales? There is already a sign up -no rainchecks on school supplies. Just venting!!
My Walgreens puts the weekly ad items on sale the saturday before the ad starts. I just recently noticed this. You can't use the in ad coupon sales on the saturday before the ad starts but any of the other sale items you can purchase. My walgreens even places the sales tag up and the dates are from one saturday to the next. Basically, you can get both weeks sale items on saturday:)
My Walgreens is one of the worst when it comes to having sale inventory in stock. They are constantly out of things!
If it's like my CVS, the manager there told me they have to put in their order 10 weeks in advance. Unless the manager is really keeping up with the sales that are way down the road, there will be shortages. My CVS manager has in the last two months gotten "my" store up to speed enough that I can still shop on Saturday and not have to get rain checks! I think I have had to get two in six weeks!
I work for walgreens and most of the time we have NO say in ordering the seasonal stuff like back to school if it is a non basic item. So rain checks are pointless because most of the time we wont get the item back in until the following year when it is in "season". I understand how people can get annoyed by our shelves being empty but also think about the people who come in and buy more than what they need most of the time it is not OUR fault for being out of merch its when people come in and make 5 different transactions. We can only order what they will let us. Sometimes we oreder and it dosent come in on the truck for weeks. So please dont get upset with the people who work there try to get ahold of home office or something….its not the cashiers fault or the managers….
I'm new to Walgreens shopping. Do you have to buy 2 when they have a bogo sale? Thanks
I did not have to the other day when I bought Command hooks…but on certain items before I've had to…not sure the difference.
I found a .35 coupon for the soft soap in the 7/25 SS. I wonder why it missed being in the computer.
figured out my own dilemma. the 8.5 oz for the soft soap is ggod but walgreens only carries the 7.5oz. my bad
I don't typically shop at Walgreens b/c of location, but when I saw the 9 cent folders in the ad I decided to make a stop (b/c these are on the supply list for her grade). Very pleased with my transaction. Bought 5 of the folders (the limit), 2 of the High Trail5 folders at 9cent/ea2 High trails backpacks for $9.991 pack of 12 colored pencils for $0.99 using the sale and the $1 off coupon1 pack of 10 for $0.59Spent only $13.13!!!!! Saved $15.39
Sorry, had computer issues when I wrote the above. 1 pack of 10 was pencial top erasers. Not sure why one of my sentences was cut off! :-)
Went to Wags today and was told I couldn't use 2 ($1) off coupons on the B1G1F Oxy pads because one was free. She said it was like paying me to buy the product. This is a cashier that has been their a long time and works at the cosmetic counter. I told her do you realize that the coupon is like cash and that the company puts out the coupon not Walgreens. She still wouldn't have it. I could have argued and called the manager, but I am exhausted from little sleep. I smiled and thought to myself I will just come back later and buy it. I have to go back anyway for something else. I guess my satisfaction will come when I buy it and use both coupons with a cashier that knows what she is doing. I have been couponing for a long time, and have done this numerous times at the same Wags. What aggavation!!
Another deal for this week…This weeks Sunday Coupons included a $3 Thermacare manufacturers coupon. Plus Walgreens has store coupon in their ad for $2 off. That's a total of $5 off. Their neck and backwraps cost $6.99, so with the two coupons – its $1.99 for either 3 neckwraps or 2 backwraps. Anyone who uses them knows that's an incredible deal – they are so expensive!
There was an advertisement at my store for $5RR wyb $3.99 Men's bar soap (I think it was Dove)…at the register I was told you had to spend $15 to get the $5RR…
I want to know why they don't allow printed coupons – does this happen W/anyone else?
they went up on their price for Purex 3-1 because of the B1G1 this week…$8.99 apiece! I walked out with my coupons and my money!
Go to Riteaid. They have the same thing for 2/$6 and you get a $1 Up reward wyb 2. If you use the coupons, you have a terrific deal.
Looking for a deal on something specific?

Consider the example of adding Cl- to a solution containing Ag+. As you might predict, a precipitate forms because AgCl is an insoluble salt. What happens if we continue adding Cl- to the solution containing the AgCl precipitate? Considering only Ksp and the common-ion effect, we expect the solubility of AgCl to decrease continuously as the concentration of Cl- increases. The solubility of AgCl decreases as the concentration of Cl- increases to 5x10-3 M where it reaches a minimum. As [Cl-] increases above 5x10-3 M, the solubility of AgCl increases due to the formation of AgCl2- and AgCl32-. Such a compound is called a complex, and can increase the solubility of an insoluble salt as a complex forms.
Metals with oxidation states of +1, +2, +3, or +4 can exist as complexes in water. Although we discuss the metal concentration in solution, the metal really exists as an aquo complex.
Note that metals can exist in higher oxidation states, but the charge density is so high that they do not exist as complexes in solution. They form oxyanions such as:
As an example, what is present when Cu(NO3)2 is added to water?
We have Cu2+ and NO3- in solution. The NO3- is a spectator ion and we don't expect it to take part in any equilibrium. Although we discuss [Cu2+], the Cu2+ probably exists as a tetra-aquo complex Cu(H2O)42+. Water has two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen and can form complexes with transition metal ions. We can think of complexes in solution being in competitive equilibria with other species. If NH3 is added, a Cu(NH3)42+ complex forms because the NH3 complexes with Cu2+ more strongly than does water.
tris(bipyridyl)ruthenium consists of a central ruthenium (green) surrounded by three bipyridyl ligands. The nitrogen atoms (blue) have lone pairs of electrons to donate to empty orbitals on the ruthenium to form the complex bonds. Stable complexes form for the ruthenium ion in both the 2+ and 3+ oxidation states. The charge of the central ion is not as critical as the overlap of lone pairs of electrons with empty orbitals on the metal for the stability of complexes.

After a seven-hour public hearing and a lot of debate, Lexington's Urban County Council approved a zone change for a controversial development off of Squires Road but decreased the number of apartments, townhomes or houses allowed on the 90-acre site.
The council also increased the amount of land for a buffer between the new development, called the Peninsula, and Kentucky American Reservoir No. 4, which surrounds the project on three sides.
The council voted 9-4 shortly after midnight Wednesday.
Ball Homes' original building plan called for the construction of a middle school, 162 houses, 308 apartments and 31 townhomes, about 500 units total. On Tuesday night, the council limited the total number to 450. It also increased the required buffer area around the lake to 50 feet.
The council settled on 450 — single-family houses, apartments or townhomes — as a compromise. Several motions to decrease the density to as low as 400 and increasing the buffer zone to as much as 75 feet failed before the council had enough votes to pass the 450 limit and the 50-foot buffer.
Bill Lear, an attorney who represents Ball Homes, said after the long, and at times confusing, hearing that it's not clear whether the council's decision to scale back the development will mean the project will be killed.
"The bigger issue is the (increased buffer)," Lear said. "We will have to... take a look at it."
An attorney who represented neighbors along Squires Road called the council's limitations a victory and not much different than what his clients had originally proposed.
"We are thrilled," said Nathan Billings, who represents the East Lake Neighborhood Association. "This is a huge win for all the citizens of Fayette County."
More than 150 people attended Tuesday night's hearing before the Urban County Council, which received more than 1,000 letters either opposing the project or asking that it be changed.
Two overflow viewing areas were set up to accommodate the crowd, which couldn't fit into the council chambers.
After a nearly five-hour hearing in January, the Urban County Planning Commission voted 8-1 to approve a zone change for the land at 478 and 480 Squires Road from agricultural urban to high-density residential.
Ball Homes applied for the zone change in October. The hearing was delayed several times as Ball Homes tweaked its proposal. The council must sign off on zone changes.
Ball Homes' attorneys emphasized Tuesday night that the Peninsula is an infill development that offers a variety of housing. The development calls for a much-needed middle school, long planned for the Squires Road area.
"It will save the school system money in developing this site," Lear said.
Nick Nicholson, another attorney for Ball, said the development provides a variety of housing choices in keeping with the city's comprehensive plan. Lexington needs more housing, he said.
"Less than 50 percent of Fayette County workers live in Fayette County," Nicholson said. "We need a lot more apartments and a lot more single-family homes."
Lear said fears that the development will add too much traffic are unfounded.
"Many of the developments around the lakes have one way in and one way out," Lear said. The Peninsula development has multiple ways in and out. A middle school would add traffic, but only twice a day, and people will adapt, he said.
"History shows they will take an alternate route twice a day," Lear said.
Many neighbors said they didn't oppose the development, but they wanted a less-dense project that protected the water, trees and wildlife. They also wanted a multi-use trail that has long been planned for the area. The council ultimately decided not to set aside any land for the trail, as questions were raised over who would own and maintain the trail — if it were ever built. Ball Homes' plan includes sidewalks.
More than 25 people spoke in opposition or asked Ball to change its plans.
"We are not here to oppose the development," Billings, the neighborhood association's attorney, told the council. "We don't think it's good enough. "
Billings asked the council to decrease the number of housing units from aboutg 500 to 328. He also wanted a 100-foot buffer around the lake — the setback of most developments on Kentucky American's other reservoirs, he said.
Lear said a 100-foot buffer would eliminate 40 residential lots.
About 50 homes' backyards would back up to the water, Ball officials have said previously.
Suzanne Bhatt, who lives nearby, said the changes that the neighborhood wanted would protect a unique ecosystem.
"It will be a terrible and permanent loss for the city," if the Ball plan was adopted with no changes, Bhatt said.
Bob Kennedy, a former transportation planner for the city who lives near Squires Road, said Ball Homes' traffic study shows 5,700 trips a day.
"There are many collector streets that have this volume, but they are an example of poor planning," Kennedy said. "Traffic is already a problem."
Some council members said they were disappointed that representatives from Kentucky American Water and Fayette County Schools didn't attend Tuesday's meeting or any public meeting on the proposed development. The school district and Ball Homes have options to buy the land from the water company.
Lear said the school district has received preliminary approval from state education authorities to build the middle school, a key step to getting the middle school built. Several opponents of the plan said the school system has not spoken publicly about its plans and questioned if the middle school would ever materialize.
Lear said the reservoir is still used for drinking water but sparingly. "Most of our water now comes from the Kentucky River," Lear said. Lear said in 2016 about 12 percent of the water came from that reservoir. But many council members were surprised to learn that Lake Ellerslie or reservoir 4 is the only Lexington reservoir that Kentucky American still uses for drinking water.
"They support the development and don't believe it will compromise the water," Lear said.
Councilwoman Jennifer Scutchfield, whose district includes the Squires Road area, said she shared residents' concerns about the traffic and congestion and the area. This development would put too much traffic on an already-taxed Squires Road, a major cut-through between Richmond Road and Alumni Drive, she said.
Those who voted against the change were Richard Moloney, Bill Farmer Jr., Fred Brown and Kevin Stinnett. Those who voted to approve the zone change were Jake Gibbs, Sasha Love Higgins, Susan Lamb, Amanda Bledsoe, Kathy Plomin, Jennifer Mossotti, Angela Evans, Jennifer Scutchfield and Vice Mayor Steve Kay.

*2017 Graduate Research Day and 3MT Awards*
The Graduate School's Graduate Research Day (GRD) Awards Banquet and 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition Finals event was held Tuesday, March 28, 2017 at the Salvation Army Kroc Center. The Georgia Cancer Center had many winners and we congratulate them all!
Cancer Center Trainees Honored: The Graduate School's Graduate Research Day (GRD) Awards Banquet and 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition Finals event was held Tuesday, March 28, 2017 in the Kroc Center.
3MT is a competition that began earlier this year, which challenges graduate students to present their thesis, using only one static slide, to an educated but non-scientific audience in three minutes or less. The program, championed by Drs. Darren Browning, Patricia Cameron, Pamela Hayward, and Mitchel Watsky, featured a semi-final competition in February, culminating in the finals competition at the GRD Awards Banquet. Four of the eleven 3MT semi-finalists represented the Biochemistry and Cancer Biology PhD program, with two moving into the 3MT finals – and winning the top awards:
Sarah Sharman (Browning laboratory) received 2nd place (with $500) for her presentation, "Viagra: for more than a good time." Bianca Islam (also of the Browning laboratory) collected both the People's Choice Award (with $250) and 1st place (with $1000) for her 3MT, "Sildenafil for the prevention of colon cancer."
The Finals Judges, Dr. Gretchen Caughman, Deke Copenhaver, Dr. David Hess, Tony Lawrence, Dr. Karla Leeper, Brad Means, and Shawn Vincent, represented Augusta University and the greater Augusta community.
The banquet also featured the Graduate School's GRD Awards, including the "Graduate School Awards for Excellence in Research by a Graduate Student." Notably, four of the six winners are graduate students from Cancer Center laboratories:
In addition, Hussein Sultan (left); (Celis laboratory) received the R. August Roesel Memorial Award for Research Excellence in Biochemistry & Cancer Biology, and Aaron Fan, (right) also of the Celis laboratory, won the Award for Excellence in Research – Molecular Medicine.
Congratulations to all winners for their excellence in cancer research!
Many Georgia Cancer Center colleagues participated as speakers, poster presenters, and mentors in the AACR Annual Meeting 2017, which took place in Washington, DC from April 1-5. Cancer Center trainees met for a luncheon at a local Thai restaurant and organized a post-meeting review (led by Dr. Bhagelu Achyut (Arbab laboratory)) for Thursday, April 13th back at the Georgia Cancer Center.
In addition to the main AACR meeting, AACR's science education initiative offered two programs, both organized by Dr. Sanya Springfield, NCI's Director of the Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities, which received Georgia Cancer Center representation. MD-PhD student Bianca Islam (Browning laboratory) – along with Dr. Rui Wang (Browning laboratory alumnus currently at MDACC, Houston TX) – participated as mentors in the 12th Annual AACR Undergraduate Student Caucus and Poster Competition on Saturday, April 1, 2017. On Tuesday, April 4, Dr. Hasan Korkaya shared his research and career insights while Bianca served as a mentor at the AACR's Special Program for High School Students, an event catered to next-generation cancer researchers.
Former Vice President Joe Biden delivered remarks during a special session, "Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot: Progress and Promise" on Monday, April 3.

*3MT Finalists Speak Out For Science*
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) was founded by the University of Queensland (UQ) as an exercise
in developing the communication skills of next-generation researchers. Launched by UQ in 2008,
the competition challenges students to describe their research in a compelling, articulate way in just three minutes to an educated but non-specialist audience.
Over the years, the 3MT competition concept has spread to more than 350 universities world-wide…And now to Augusta University. The 3MT effort here, conceptualized by Dr. Patricia Cameron and headed by Drs. Darren Browning (Health Sciences campus, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) and Pamela Hayward (Summerville Campus, Department of Communication), started in the fall of 2016, with 11 students competing in the preliminary round on February 10, 2017.
All gave commendable presentations, driving the panel of six judges into extended deliberation before naming the five students who will proceed to the Augusta University finals. Two of these students, Bianca Islam and Sarah Sharman, are from the Biochemistry and Cancer Biology PhD program, completing thesis research in the laboratory of Dr. Browning. With just one static slide and no additional props, Bianca and Sarah will join the 3 other finalists (Joanna Erion (Department of Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine); Rebecca Ward and John Paul Valenzuela (Department of Physiology)) to compete for the title of Inaugural Augusta University 3MT Winner at the Graduate Research Day Banquet on March 28, 2017 in the Kroc Center.
First place will receive $1000 and second place, $500. There will also be a $250 Peoples' Choice award! "Mentoring the students to think about their research from a unique perspective has been inspiring. They have all worked so hard, and the results are tangible. They are much better equipped to discuss their research with a lay audience, which is an important skill for all scientists as there is a great need to inform our politicians and the general public of the importance of what we are accomplishing in our laboratories every day." – Dr. Browning
*Cancer Research Ambassador Returns from DC*
From February 28 through March 1, MD-PhD student Bianca Islam (Dr. Darren Browning laboratory, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Georgia Cancer Center) was in Washington, DC as part of the 2017 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Early-Career Hill Day. Representing the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Biochemistry and Cancer Biology Graduate program, and the Georgia Cancer Center at Augusta University, Ms. Islam is one of only 15 individuals in the United States to have been selected for this opportunity to represent cancer researcher concerns to US government leaders.
Her experience was an unforgettable one, and one she hopes will help make an impact on the future of biomedical science research and its funding.
The group of selected AACR associate members met with a total of 39 offices (21 from the House and 18 from the Senate), including those of key committee members. Their tripartite message was clear: They offered thanks to the Members of Congress for passing the 21st Century Cures Act in December 2016, allocating $4.3B in funding to the NIH, including $1.8B assigned to cancer research via the "Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot" – $300M of which is dedicated to fiscal year 2017. Secondly, they advocated for "predictable, robust, and sustainable funding increases for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), to include a $2B increase in NIH funding via a final FY2017 Appropriations Bill this spring." Finally, they voiced the importance of strong, diverse, and multi-disciplinary US early-career researchers to the country's global leadership in science.
These initiatives, peppered with real-life research experiences, helped instill the message that better human health – and effective cancer strategies – are within reach, provided appropriate funding and support. "One of the most memorable aspects of Hill Day was being able to have one-on-one connections with the legislators and staffers about the gravity of cancer research. I was able to emphasize the fact that cancer touches so many peoples' lives, and our fight against cancer is a bipartisan effort... It was pretty clear that when we were able to advocate for sustainable NIH and NCI funding directly to our state and local district, the message resonated with the staffers," says Ms. Islam.
In addition to the resources and mentors within Augusta University, Ms. Islam is grateful for the opportunities available to her through AACR. Before Hill Day, she had attended two AACR annual meetings, had served twice as judge for the AACR Undergraduate Student Caucus and Poster Competition, and had received the AACR Minorities in Cancer Research (MICR) travel award. Through Hill Day, she realizes more than ever the importance of scientists engaging in science policy and advocacy. "By participating in AACR conferences, I have been able to see numerous talks that have improved the quality of my research, and I have been able to collaborate with new investigators on different projects… But as early-career scientists, we need to think about the future of science. We are at the forefront of a changing economic landscape, and we need to ensure that we can receive sustainable funding to continually make scientific advancements in healthcare."
*MCG Student Meets with Legislators to Advocate for Cancer Research Funding*
MD-PhD Student Heads for Capitol Hill. MD-PhD student Bianca Islam (Dr. Darren Browning laboratory) will be participating in the 2017 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Early-Career Hill Day Feb 28-Mar 1 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Reflecting well on the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Biochemistry and Cancer Biology Graduate program, the Georgia Cancer Center, and Augusta University, Bianca is one of only 15 individuals in the United States to have been selected for this opportunity to represent cancer researcher concerns to US government leaders. Bianca attributes her success in part to the new Three Minute Thesis (3MT) training on how to describe her research in a relatable manner.
As part of the Early-Career Hill Day program, Bianca will meet face-to-face with senators and representatives and/or their key staff and attend up to five meetings on Capitol Hill, where she may share first-hand stories of the impact of cancer research funding on her career and how cancer has personally affected her life. The program is the second annual event of its kind, originally formed through AACR's advocacy for increased NIH and NCI funding in support of cancer research and for the importance of US early-career researchers to the country's global leadership in science.

Best of Morocco (Berbers, Kasbahs & Camels)
Picnic in the ruins of the Roman Empire's most southerly outpost, weave through Fez's labyrinthine medina alleyways and stargaze in the sublime darkness of the Sahara. Marvel at the snake charmers at Jemaa el Fna in Marrakech and retreat to Sir Richard Branson's picturesque hotel perched high in the Atlas Mountains.
Getting started
Your adventure begins in the old capital of Fes, where upon arrival you will be met by your local, English speaking driver who will whisk you to the centre of Morocco's oldest city. Spend three nights in opulence at one of the country's finest riads, Riad Fes. On your first full day, you'll enjoy a few hours of exploration in the hidden medina on a guided food tour; return to your opulent Riad for a lazy afternoon poolside or perhaps a pampering visit to the hammam. The following day, take a trip to the Roman ruins at Volubilis and enjoy a picnic and a tour of the semi-excavated site before returning to Fes for a final evening.Read more
Desert camping
Head south towards Erg Chebbi, Morocco's highest sand dune where a luxury camp awaits you. Dine under the stars and rest your travel-worn self in the calm of the Sahara desert. At sun-up it is time to make an attempt on the summit of the 1000ft sand dune, before heading west to the breathtaking Todra Gorge and on to Skoura to overnight in a picturesque riad in a palm oasis. Continue your travels through the mountainous terrain via the stunning Tichka Pass en route to buzzy Marrakech, where you will spend three nights uncovering the cities mysteries.
City time in Marrakech
Stay in the lavish beauty of Riad Farnatchi, an intimate and enchanting hideaway just steps from the main attractions of Marrakech. Enjoy the benefits of the hammam and spa, pampering yourself into a state of sublimity. Take a local's perspective of this world-class city with a walking tour of the medina. Your English speaking guide will lead you through cobbled streets and around the iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa square, making sure you see all the city has to offer. The sights are many and varied, from the famous snake charmers and the ancient tanneries to the plethora of food stalls and endless array of trinkets. Barter with the stall holders in the souks and take home a bargain. The aromas of fresh fruit and spices are ever present in the centuries-old streets. On your second full day, join a local chef for a cooking class to learn to recreate your favourite dishes from your Moroccan sojourn.
Berbers and Branson
Travel up into the Atlas Mountains on a 4×4 adventure – stop en route for a trek to a Berber Village. At the end of the day, settle in for a well-earned rest in Morocco's most dramatic landscape. We've saved the best for last: paradisiacal Kasbah Tamadot, owned by none other than Sir Richard Branson. Spend two nights exploring the surrounds and luxuriating in the beauty of one of Morocco's most spectacular hotels. On your final morning, after one last indulgent Moroccan breakfast, you'll be driven to Marrakech airport for your flight home.

Nine Energy Service
A new oilfield services company needed its branding to look and sound like the different operation that it is.
SCF Partners had combined four independent oilfield service companies—each a master of its own specialty—and the new company's management had a bold new vision for their merged organization. The forward-looking leaders felt their combined expertise put them at the top of the competitive ladder, and that their synergy produced great value for customers.
They asked Pennebaker to help them communicate their strength as an integrated completions and wireline company, and define the added value they could bring to their clients. From the start, they wanted a marketing strategy that helped their brand stand out from the pack.
After going through the Strategic Guardrails process, the company had a solid brand identity and strategy to guide the team moving forward. Pennebaker suggested the name "Nine." Interesting, right? It's an insider thing: in the oilfield, achieving perfection is almost impossible. The savvy know that on a scale of one to ten, nine is as close as anyone is going to get.
Nine represents confidence and determination, tempered with humility and a drive for constant learning. The idea struck a chord with the leaders right away, and this became the cornerstone of their new brand strategy.
Our Strategic Guardrails exercise isolated the company's key advantage: Nine had the reach of a large company delivered with the nimbleness and accessibility of a smaller company. Its willingness to develop custom solutions would be a breath of fresh air for their customers who were accustomed to "making do" with catalog orders, or simply taking what the Big Boys were selling.
This concept served as Nine's key messaging in everything that followed.
Nine's responsive website design has a more narrative quality than those of traditional energy service firms. The objective was to strike a friendly tone, and provide enough information to engage an audience and encourage customers to think of Nine, not as a supplier, but as a working partner.
Visit the website here.
Nine's employee video was designed to evoke emotion, engage employees, and define the brand culture and identity of the new company. The phrase "You Just Know" captures the intuitive nature of experienced oilfield people, which its leaders believe is at the core of Nine's strength.

Classical set of symbols contains Bars and Sevens, but Wild symbol which substitutes all other images except Bonus is originally designed as a Game Logo Spectacular. The special Bonus symbol which appears at the third reel only triggers Wheel of Wealth Bonus Game with really huge wins. But be careful, because this Bonus is available at Max Bet gaming only!
