Second of all let me make this as plain as possible we do not support derivative works no matter where they come from or why they exist, or the intentions thereof.
If we support one group then we would have to support them all.
Furthermore like I thought, and was stated above, they ripped off the hard and free work of several people who dedicate their time/energy/efforts to create and maintain the best pen-testing security distro there is.
So if you want help with Fhrack sp. then go to them and ask for help.
If you want help from us then get the official sources and go from there.
In addition we don't care how MS or others do their business that it why it is their business and not ours. As for the "support instinct", again it's free, if you don't like it feel free to donate time, equipment or money to the team or go elsewhere.
I am sure that Ford motor company is not going have the same "support instinct" when it comes to a General Motors product, so why should it be any different here.
The end.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.

Miranda Lambert's 'All Kinds Of Kinds' gets the single treatment
Listen to Miaranda Lambert on iHeartRadio
Miranda Lambert still isn't done releasing singles from 2011′s Four The Record, with the current ACM Female Vocalist of the Year announcing that the colorful "All Kinds of Kinds" will serve as the disc's fifth single. Sony's confirmed a radio add date of June 24.
Anyway, the real issue at hand is Lambert's fifth studio album and its mystery release date. If she were to stick to her usual schedule, it'd be out before Christmas. She also recently told an Arizona publication that she won't hit the studio to start recording her "fun" new album until August, so we're guesstimating that Mrs. Shelton probably won't come out with her Four The Record follow-up until some time next year.
In the meantime, you'll just have to enjoy "All Kinds of Kinds" and the latest Pistol Annies album.

This Week's Reading
Staff Picks: Monkey Minds, the Singing Butler, and Rum CookiesBy The Paris Review
Last night Daniel Smith taught me the word anxiolytics. It means "anxiety reducers." (Dan is the author of Monkey Mind: A Memoir of Anxiety, so he should know.) His favorite nonchemical anxiolytic is Singin' in the Rain. Mine, for now, is "Jesus Dropped the Charges," by the O'Neal Twins. —Lorin Stein
The 1935 Silly Symphony cartoon "Cookie Carnival" raises so many questions, but most pressing: What is a rum cookie? The highly enlightening Wikipedia article informs us that the animated short, in which various varieties of baked good compete for the title of Cookie Queen, is a take on the Atlantic City bathing-beauty contests of the day, precursors to Miss America pageants. (Incidentally, the gingerbread hobo is voiced by the same actor who immortalized Goofy.) As a friend of mine commented, "Misses Licorice and Coconut were robbed." And it's true: Sugar Cookie's easy victory (after she dons a blonde taffy wig, that is) is a testament to how little standards of beauty have changed, however much baked goods have. —Sadie Stein
Leanne Shapton's Swimming Studies, which comes out in early July, needs to be on everyone's bookshelf this summer. Or, more fittingly, in the pool house. And the latest Vanity Fair has a fun article about the origins of that hideously romantic painting The Singing Butler, which I'm sure you'll recognize once you see it. —Thessaly La Force
"Helpless," by Poindexter. I heard this song playing in a store downtown and was convinced it was a new track by French electro band Phoenix. Poindexter gets it right with well-placed cymbal crashes and the type of moody synth that sound tracks an eighties teenage tryst on a foggy night. You can buy "Helpless" off fashion's jack of all trades (Kitsune) album Kitsune America. SO DO IT. —Noah Wunsch

OTTAWA, ON, Canada -- The hit TLC series Cake Boss is the inspiration for a new line of Keurig-compatible coffees, launched by Single Cup Coffee and TLC parent Discovery Communications.
The flagship Buddy's Blend portion pack, named after Cake Boss Buddy Valastro, is a classic Italian roast that features East African coffees that are roasted extra dark to offer intense, bold flavor in a heavy-bodied cup.
Buddy himself, famous around the globe for his flair for baking, has infused the seven flavored coffees in the line with the tastes of his favorite creations seen on his show. They include chocolate fudge cake, dulce de leche (regular and decaf), vanilla buttercream, hazelnut biscotti, raspberry truffle and Italian rum cake.
Cake Boss Coffee is supplied and distributed across North America by Ontario-based Single Cup Coffee. Retailers in the U.S. and Canada began stocking the product this spring.
New episodes of Buddy's hit series "Next Great Baker and Bakery Boss" will air this summer on TLC, keeping the brand prominent among consumers.

Go get yourself comfortable; this could take a while.
By now, 5 days after the horror of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, we're pretty well steeped in the hysterical rhetoric coming from both "sides" of the political spectrum; the "left" is screaming for rational gun control legislation and humane mental health services while the "right" is advocating arming teachers and eliminating "gun-free zones." The fighting is as predictable as it is pointless; background checks wouldn't have prevented this tragedy, the guns used in the shooting were obtained legally, guns are not the problem, you can't plan for the crazy people, there's evil in the world and there's nothing you can do about it, The Second Amendment….
Blah, blah, blah.
This is not the conversation we should be having. We don't have a gun problem; we have a humanity problem.
Are there reasonable things that we should be doing as concerns guns and weaponry that we're not doing? Of course there are. I'm not going to go into them now, though; I'm betting you're sick of hearing about them (I am) and anyone who knows me, even if they only know me here, knows that I have both feet firmly planted in the pro-gun control camp.
I don't want to talk about guns or lobbies or the NRA. I want to talk about culture.
A few months ago, my grandfather observed how difficult raising kids is "nowadays." I kind of called him on that; I said that raising kids is just as hard now as it was when he had kids, or when he was a kid himself, and that it might in fact be easier given all the modern conveniences and health care and safety equipment. He shut me down, though, and this is how he did it; "When I was a kid, we didn't have a telephone, but my mother would know that I'd done something wrong before I even made it home. The whole neighborhood watched out for everyone else's kids. If I did something I wasn't supposed to, my friends' mother would take it out of me at the scene, then my mother would take it out of me when I got home. When my kids were little, it was still like that. No one looks out for anyone else anymore; they're all too worried about lawsuits."
While I'm not sure it's the lawsuits that people are worried about, Grampa's point has merit; we don't look out for each other anymore. We have drawn very clear and very rugged lines around our lives, such that it is the rare person who will step up to correct another person's child, or even to offer to help someone else.
Case in point; the other day, I was in a department store. Little kids love to hide in the clothes racks (I did, and I bet you did, too), and, look at that! I found a small person in a clothes rack. I looked up and didn't see an accompanying adult, so I asked the kid where her grown up was and stayed with her until said grown-up appeared (which, I might add, was not immediately, and when the grown-up did arrive, she was not in the state of panic I would have expected of a parent of a small child in a department store around Christmastime, but I digress). She scolded the child and ignored me completely, which left me feeling as though the help I offered by staying with the kid (or, not for nothing, discovering her whereabouts in the first place) was both unnecessary and unwelcome.
I have been "spoken to" many times in the course of my professional life for "caring too much" about my students; for being interested in them as human beings, for listening to them when they spoke about their lives or their frustrations or their goals, for offering advice and support and, yes, love. It wasn't my "job" to nurture them as people, it was my job to stuff "knowledge" into their heads, to provide opportunities for them to spit that knowledge back out, and to assess their competence in doing so. I was told that it was the counselor's job to take care of the kids' emotional needs, but then listened as that same counselor said, out loud and in public, that he didn't "do" crying kids. A facebook friend observed that "Hell, I remember when everything shifted. Prior to my junior year in HS (that was 83-84?) the counselors went from just that, someone you could go to get help or just talk, into someone who helped with ONLY curriculum and college placement. Now they see a kid with a problem they call the idiots at CPS and all hope is lost for the poor child!"
I don't think he's wrong.
We don't take care of each other, plain and simple. We aren't allowed to check in to make sure that things are okay at home; pediatricians were asking, not too long ago, for legal permission to inquire about guns in the home. They were told 'no.' When a teacher sees something in a kid's behavior that raises red flags, we're told that we have to wait until there's a clear and obvious crisis situation before we're allowed to call someone else, who may or may not intervene. We mind our own business and keep our heads down.
The message that sends is that there's no one to go to if you need help. If you're in trouble, if you're confused or frightened, if you're bullied or harassed, if you're feeling hopeless, there's nowhere for you to go unless you're threatening yourself or others; the situation needs to be escalated to crisis mode before there are any systems in place to help you, and by then it may be too late. There's nothing that can be done; you just have to suck it up and deal with it because you know what? Life is hard.
I'm calling bullshit.
The problem we have isn't with guns, though guns are certainly an exacerbating factor. The problem we have is that we don't know how to manage a basic level of common human decency. We don't know how to care about one another, and we don't know how to accept that care without its being perceived as some sort of judgment about our fitness. We're so wrapped up in ourselves – our rights, our privileges, our perceived greatness -that we fail to recognize that our lives are inextricably wrapped up in others' lives, too. We listen to our politicians use violent rhetoric and watch them work tirelessly to further disadvantage those who are already behind. Our entertainment glorifies violence and the loner; the rugged individual who keeps to himself and does whatever he has to do – up to and including hurting others – to 'get the job done.' We have, as a culture, completely swallowed the myth of isolation; that we are alone in the world, that the only things we get are the things we get for ourselves, and that everyone else should, at best, be viewed with suspicion.
I reject that mentality wholesale. We can totally fix this gun problem and this mental health problem by just being decent to each other. Let teachers care for their students. Ask for help when you need it (and accept it when it's offered). Be willing to think and look critically at the habits and traditions you follow, the ways you solve problems, and the ways you talk to and treat other people. Think cooperation before competition, and abandon the idea that someone else's success means that there's less for you. Hold a door open, yield the right of way, look people in the eye and really listen.
Let's try being decent and see what happens.

AIRMALL® USA, the leading airport concessions developer in North America, is pleased to announce that Silver Diner at the AIRMALL at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI Marshall) won "Best Airport Restaurant Design" in the ARN 2013 Best Airports & Concessionaires Awards program. Silver Diner received the award at a reception on Tuesday, February 26 during the ARN 2013 Revenue Conference & Exhibition. The Maryland-based restaurant will be featured along with other winners in the April 2013 issue of Airport Revenue News.
"With a fun retro setting reminiscent of a classic American diner and a focus on serving healthier selections, Silver Diner has been a traveler destination since it opened at BWI Marshall in 2007," said Brett Kelly, vice president of AIRMALL Maryland. "It remains one of the largest restaurants on airport property today, and we are excited that it is about to grow in size."
Currently, the AIRMALL at BWI Marshall is working with both the airport and its tenants to execute a $15-million upgrade to the concessions program over the next two years. The project includes the creation of a new connector between concourses B and C, and Silver Diner will be located along this new connector. Once renovations to the restaurant are complete and the new connector opens, Silver Diner will be one-third larger, enabling it to serve even more hungry travelers with its signature farm-to-table fare.
The ARN Best Airports and Concessionaires Awards is an annual awards program sponsored by Airport Revenue News that recognizes the industry's airports and concessions operators in categories, including best concessions design, best customer service, most unique services, and best overall concessions program.

Located in southern Europe, Greece forms an irregular-shaped peninsula in the Mediterranean with two additional large peninsulas projecting from it: the Chalcidice and the Peloponnese. The Greek islands are generally subdivided into two groups, according to location: the Ionian islands (including Corfu, Cephalonia, and Leucas) west of the mainland and the Aegean islands (including Euboea, Samos, Chios, Lesbos, and Crete) to the east and south. North-central Greece, Epirus, and western Macedonia are all mountainous. The main chain of the Pindus Mountains extends from northwest Greece to the Peloponnese. Mount Olympus, rising to 9,570 ft (2,909 m), is the highest point in the country.
Parliamentary republic.
Indo-European peoples, including the Mycenaeans, began entering Greece about 2000 B.C. and set up sophisticated civilizations. About 1200 B.C. , the Dorians, another Indo-European people, invaded Greece, and a dark age followed, known mostly through the Homeric epics. At the end of this time, classical Greece began to emerge (c. 750 B.C. ) as a loose composite of city-states with a heavy involvement in maritime trade and a devotion to art, literature, politics, and philosophy. Greece reached the peak of its glory in the 5th century B.C. , but the Peloponnesian War (431–404 B.C. ) weakened the nation, and it was conquered by Philip II and his son Alexander the Great of Macedonia, who considered themselves Greek. By the middle of the 2nd century B.C. , Greece had declined to the status of a Roman province. It remained within the eastern Roman Empire until Constantinople fell to the Crusaders in 1204. In 1453, the Turks took Constantinople and by 1460, Greece was a province in the Ottoman Empire. The Greek war of independence began in 1821, and by 1827 Greece won independence with sovereignty guaranteed by Britain, France, and Russia.
The protecting powers chose Prince Otto of Bavaria as the first king of modern Greece in 1832 to reign over an area only slightly larger than the Peloponnese peninsula. Chiefly under the next king, George I, chosen by the protecting powers in 1863, Greece acquired much of its present territory. During his 57-year reign, a period in which he encouraged parliamentary democracy, Thessaly, Epirus, Macedonia, Crete, and most of the Aegean islands were added from the disintegrating Turkish empire. Unfavorable economic conditions forced about one-sixth of the entire Greek population to emigrate (mostly to the U.S.) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An unsuccessful war against Turkey after World War I brought down the monarchy, which was replaced by a republic in 1923.

For the most part, it seems that religious parents raise religious kids, who in turn pass down this religion to their kids, and so on. While genetics may very well play a role in facilitating this transmission, the transmission itself must come from social interaction. Focusing specifically on how grandmothers pass on their religious values to their granddaughters, psychologists Denise Lewis, Desiree Seponski (both University of Georgia), and Thomas Camp (Samaritan Counseling Center) found that granddaughters learn religious values from their grandmothers through role modeling, indirect communication, and "just knowing."

Early this morning, one of my best friends left for a week long cruise and in all honesty I am extreeemely jealous! While he is basking in the sun and sipping on all the Pina Coladas his stomach can handle, I will be working away in my shoebox of a cubicle, wearing a restricting pencil skirt, button down shirt and a pair of high heels that will most likely be the reason that I'll need back surgery by the time I'm 30! ugh…
So, last week, I asked why you are missing out on Spring Break this year, requesting you to share your SB '10 sob story on Sharpie's FB Fan page for the chance to be 1 of 35 winners of a new set of Limited Edition Caribbean Colored Sharpies. Well ladies & gents, I've got the results for you! Before I announce the winners, below you will notice that I am giving 40 sets away, simply because I can.. There were a few late entires but I'm in a good mood today so I'm sending these people some Sharpies too! – I hope that's okay with the rest of you.
Without further ado, here are the winners & their sob stories…
*Warning you may want to keep a box of tissues handy for those extremely sad stories, as well as a waste basket in the event that an utterly pathetic entry should make you ill.
In no specfic order:
- Allyson O' Shea: We can't party our pants off this Spring Break because we own a home and our basement flooded like crazy. A sump pump later we are still dishing out water and paying for our heating repairs! It sucks being grown up
- Lisa Steinberg: UM no Partying when you're expecting…AND your hubs is out of work…
- Laura Mari: I can't party my pants off cuz I have 2 work all Spring Break…….Blah
- Tabitha Padilla: I'm planning for my world domination
- Nicholas Marblestone: IM STILL GETTING OFF OF MY NEAR YEARS HANGOVER!!
- Brett Roberts: I can't party my pants off this spring break because I am in a fight with my gf super depressed, we are going to break up, and she got all my friends to hate me along with the rest of the school.
- Sarah Falconer: I live on the other side of the world…. and we don't have spring break….. and I have to work
- Tara DeVeau: I am missing spring break because I am seeing one son off to the Army, Enrolling another Son in LSU College, taking 2 more kids to a bunch of HS Band events and consoling my youngest daughter in the death of her friend the puppy…. Oh yea, and running a TV station for my other job that pays :)…. AND I LOVE SHARPIES!!! I could write letters to my sons while they are oversees and in college with them…make Band posters for the events and fundraisers and help my daughter draw pictures of the dog for her memory book…and when I get a lunch break I will draw all the tropical places I would love to be…
- Robbyn Johnson: because I have no life. the end.
- Raymond Mauro: I've loved Sharpie Markers most of my life-and have several of the color sets, not to mention the loose black markers in various point sizes!! At any rate-I won't be partying hardy anytime soon this Spring Break, 'cause I'm an OLDER man (age 52), and ALL I have to look forward to in my life is to put the cat out at night, watch the night-time news, read my FB page(s), eat & then sleep!!!!!! Please let me Break this frustrating cycle-by receiving this new set of Sharpie Markers (Caribbean Colored-wild, Mon!!!!!)!!!!! The creative flow emanating from these markers will make me feel years younger!!!!!!!! Thanks in advance!!!
- Mary Cantrell Lovell: Newwwwwww job….can't take time off for a good long time.
- Kathy Love: I can't party my pants off because I'll working on a very special portrait for someone.
- Andrea Maruschak: I'm not in school anymore – working adults don't get spring break No one likes getting old but missing spring break puts a real downer on it. PS – My brother, a college senior is going on a Caribbean cruise and until he leaves this weekend he'll be rubbing his vacation in my face! Maybe I'll be sitting in my office writing with my new Sharpies while he enjoys the sun!
- Jenn Martin: Haha! Military Spouse, Homeschooling Mom, Jewelry Selling Woman, Friend, Encourager, Nurse, Counselor…the list goes on!!! Who has time for a break?!?! Man, what I wouldn't give to have one, though!
- Christian Walwanis: I never got further than taking art courses and then leaving college. Now I live in a semi ghetto area working at a homeless shelter, hoping to find a second job so that I can move. So, I think that it goes without saying that vacation is nothing more than a dream at this point.
- Many Gambrel Vavrinak: I can't go on spring break because I own my own small business and it supports my family of 6 (yes, 6… me, hubby and our 4 kids, ranging in age from 15 years to 9mos). I can't go on a coffee break, generally speaking, much less a blissful, tropical week of (relative) freedom. I love my kids, my family, my clients (and my Sharpies… I take notes in color, I doodle, I design… even my 7 yr old has her own set) but I *really* need a break
- Leslie Greer: I can't go on spring break unless i want to bring my husband and kids with me (and what kind of fun would that be lol)!!!!! and @Mandy moms rule!!!!!!!!
- Jessica Castillo: I can't do anything on spring break because I am a stay at home mom of a 7 month old. The hubby is working 2 jobs to support us, so that doesn't leave any extra funds to travel anywhere to take a break. We couldn't make it if he took the week off. Plus we don't have anyone to watch the baby that long in order for us to spend alone time together.
- Brigid Kt-Duncan: I too am about to start my own business and quite frankly it has become my 4th child…which is EXTREMELY time consuming…no time for fun in the sun or for a spring break…just work, work, work! Having been laid off too like so many others this option presented itself and I don't foresee a vacation anytime soon.. (: Luckily I can still doodle just before bedtime…my downtime!
- Jill Braun: Spring break, what's that? Oh yea, it's the time of the year when everyone gets out of MinneSNOWta but me. The reason I won't be leaving this winter wonderland this year, is like most college kids, simply because I am broke. Art is my life. I always have to be creating something. About two months ago I began to learn how to blow glass. When I'm not in the studio working with glass I am at home with a Sharpie in hand. One day a hope to be a famous Sharpist and glass blower, but you have to spend money to make money. Learning how to blow glass isn't exactly cheap. I'm sure this isn't the saddest story you'll read but it's the truth and some new Sharpie colors would definitely brighten up my day! J
- Angie Kerr: Can't go because I have 4 kids, I go to school full time and have no extra time! I would love to get away with my husband. We have NEVER had a honeymoon and it would be nice to go somewhere warm with him. Unfortunately, we live too far away from family/friends that could/would babysit for us. So for now, I will just dream of a warm beach and a cold drink ALONE with my hubby!
- Katherine Leaf: I work full time and full time college. Apparently this weekend, instead of partying, I get to attend a funeral. D:
- Deidra Miserlian: I have too many kids, so I wont be going anywhere either lol..
- Kelly LaChance Guertin: Spring Break? With three children who will undoubtedly be ill the entire time, why leave?
- Jenny Spry Durham: Well, with only one of us working we won't be going anywhere so we won't break the budget :o)
- Sue Gibson: I wouldn't be able to find a cat sitter for my 6 cats!
- Anna Janee Chamberlain: I can't go on spring break (which is this week…blah ) because i have NO money! haha and no one to go with because my friends are all on break NEXT week and my boyfriend is Training to be a United States Marine! so on the normal Spring Break for everyone but college kids(April) I will be in South Carolina @ Parris Island watching my boyfriend graduate from the Marine Corps Bootcamp…and then coming back to Michigan. Not too bad since I haven't seen him in 3 months. It makes up for not going anywhere during my break!!! J
- Stevee Gerl: I'm going to be in Slidell, La. for a week helping Presbyterian Disaster Assistance rebuild homes and businesses destroyed by Hurricane Katrina!
- Claire Dollin: Biggest bummer? The UK doesn't have Spring Break. That and I need to work to afford to come back to summer camp. And yes I am very campsick. Need to break out my Sharpies and decorate something.
- Sharon McCarthy Brandon: We've been saving money for a vacation, but not only am I somewhat afraid of flying (and even more so of being stuck on a runway with no fresh air!), I get motion sick at the slightest provocation. Those ads on TV shot from roller-coasters? I get dizzy if I don't close my eyes fast enough. I tried out an elliptical trainer at the bicycle store the other day and had to get off and put my head down after less than two minutes so I wouldn't fall over. Probably the worst thing is that I cant even hold a conversation with someone rocking in a rocking chair without feeling woozy. That is not an exaggeration – ask anyone who knows me. :-/ So how can I go on Spring Break? I can't take Dramamine 24/7.the other day and had to get off and put my head down after less than two minutes so I wouldn't fall over. Probably the worst thing is that I can't even hold a conversation with someone rocking in a rocking chair without feeling woozy. That is not an exaggeration – ask anyone who knows me. :- So how can I go on a spring break? I can't take Dramamine 24/7.
- Melissa Middleton: My spring break will be spent planning programming for the pride center where i started volunteering. it is a labor of love because i want to work with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth once i get my social work license. good thing i have my sharpies to keep me organized and inspired!! ♥
- Joe Muggins: No spring break for me, I have to work, zzzz! I'm starting my masters next month so I have to save money, sooooo boring!
- Rachel Siota: I don't get a spring break…homeschooled. Sure I suppose my mom and my sister and I could travel somewhere…oh wait..mom has a surgery coming up, I don't drive, and sister doesn't have a license….so why everyone is gonna be soaking in the sun…I'm going to be sitting at home playing nurse….I love you mom….but I reeeeaaallly would have liked to go somewhere instead.
- Katie Mae Carpenter: I will be spending spring break in school trying to catch up…Art majors work hard and aren't supposed to take a break and have fun…(but everyone knows we slack off every once in a while ;)) I will have my sharpies by my side while I'm there to bring my doodles to life and to always draw mustaches on the people in my books always brings a smile to people's faces…Too bad Sharpie hasn't came up with a marker that can transport us to a beach or somewhere nice instead of school…There will always be dreams/wished tho.
- Jon Schlup: True story, this is really sob. I was on my senior year and did something stupid so can't really blame anything, but it's still sad. Anyway got kicked out of school so I guess technically every day is spring break for the rest of the year. But its not a very happy ending. Yeah that's my sob story, true story. Least it might get a few sharpies, but it still wasn't worth it! Don't do stupid stuff at school!
- Alexis Mask: So I didn't know next week was spring break! I just found out 2 days ago. I have no plans, my boy friend will be gone most of the week on vacation, and the only thing I get to do is watch screaming kids at an indoor pool all week. To top it all off my teachers assigned me 2 books to read and my art teacher is making me make art out of a book for my exam grade. I also don't wanna go home so I'm just gonna sleep in my car or live off my friends for a week since I'm broke
- Frances Kehlbeck Civello: My true and pathetic story:
We can't do spring break this year because we *tried* to vacation at this time last year. But on the second day of our Florida trip, my husband was in a bad car accident on I-4 and ended up in the hospital. One year and one complicated spinal cord surgery later, he still can't travel more than a few miles in the car. So we are staycationing for the forseeable future. Our 10th anniversary is coming up in a few weeks, and we got married on a St. John beach – so doodling in Caribbean colors would take away the sting. A little. *sniff*
- Eric Alexander Villatoro: I cant go to party ,Because i just learned my girlfriend is pregnant so i cant go and leave her alone at home and i go because i lover her too much to leave my girlfriend alone while i have a good time. Its always better with her. Me and my girl love to spend time drawing together to show our love.
- Shannon Scott: I think I'm too late as I just found this page but I've been dating a Puerto Rican for 3 years and we have yet to have the $ or time to go and visit his family in the Caribbean so to have a set of Caribbean Colored Sharpies it could be like at least we are there in color. We keep wanting to get there so I can see the bright & vivid colors of the water, beach and plants but none the less we haven't.
- Mina Akaga: I won't be able to enjoy a spring break this year because I am a graduate student in her final semester towards EMBA degree and I have used up a lot of Sharpie ACCENT highlighters already and I will be using most of my Sharpie stocks studying for 3 papers/projects and final exams during the spring break. Aw come on! You have to give a poor girl here the Caribbean colors so that I can at least remember about the Caribbean and I can congratulate those who can enjoy the vacation with a huge heart using the funky flamingo pink! I'm going to use that Surf blue to memorize so many important things that I might forget soon, but the markers will stay with me for a long time if I pass everything! Which means my summer time will be relazing with the nice Caribbean colors you gave me
To claim your set of Caribbean Colored Sharpie Markers, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with name and your address so that I can send you your markers!
Congrats to all the whiney winners and thanks for participating!
*Please be aware that I'm mailing these out myself, so cut me a break as I can't get things out at ACME pace.

Author Orwell's Book Reviews
The book "1984" is a fiction that tells of a government that controls and watches every move that their people make. Winston Smith is the main character in this fiction that seemingly could one day become a reality if it hasn't already. Smith lives in the nation of Oceania. He is a low ranking member of the Party, a group of officials that watch everything. Cameras surround the entire city of London, located in Oceania, and Smith's every move is recorded...
This is the story of the down trodden and destinctly average Winston Smith who lives in post war London, although Britain has been renamed Air Strip One and London is never specifically mentioned there are refrences to famous buildings and landmarks so the reader is clear where the story takes place. Winston lives in an era where all technology has been focused on either the improvement of weapons to fight the 'continuous war' or put to use in the consta...
(Science Fiction)
Winston Smith is an average forty something man living and working in a totalitarian system where each and every person (except for the poor folk, aka proles) live under, and are constantly watched by Big Brother a symbol of fear and respect. Children are evil little brats who spy and tell on dissenters, who are then sent to the Ministry of Love for reeducation. Smith questions and ponders his society and is rewarded by meeting up with a young girl ca...
A Clergyman's Daughter
Dorothy Hare, only child of the rector in a small Suffolk village, is an obedient assistant to her unfeeling, humourless widowed father. Most of her time is spent keeping his creditors at bay, and helping local charities. Her only friend is the incorrigible Mr Warburton, who knows the whole village is talking about him behind his back, and doesn't care. After she dines with him alone one evening, he walks her back home, and tries to kiss her goodbye but ...

Animal Farm
In its first reading, Animal Farm seems like a story with animals that can speak, read, think and communicate with each other but there are hidden meanings and metaphors throughout the book. The story starts in an English farm, �Manor Farm� with a Mr Jones as the owner. One day, the oldest and wisest animal on the farm, a boar, tells his fellow animals about his dream. His dream was to establish Animalism on earth with animals taking care of themselves a...
Burmese Days
Burmese Days is the presumably semi-autobiographical story of John Flory, a British expatriate with a disfiguring facial birthmark who oversees timber camps in remote Kyauktada, Burma. Flory is a weak and lonely man who retreats to the European Club for drink and the questionable companionship of the other expatriates who share his outpost. Flory befriends a native doctor, Veriswami, who is vying with the novel's villain, U Po Kyin, for admission to the ...
Coming Up For Air
'Coming up for air' is a book about George Bowling, a middle-aged insurance salesman, and how he escapes work, family responsibilities and the downcast pre-World War II atmosphere of London to take a vacation in Lower Binfield, the village where he grew up. However, not all goes to plan for this seemingly average individual who simply cannot evade the events of the day. Overall, a comical novel that the author, George Orwell, was highly praised for. ...
Down and Out in Paris and London
George Orwell, from a respectable family and Eton educated, served in the British Imperial Police. In the late 1920's he gave it up to do a sort of deep cover investigative journalism, documenting life at the bottom of the heap in Paris and London. To seem poor he had to become genuinely poor, and so this adventure turned into one of the more unusual literary autobiographies that we have. The characters he meets are captured very vividly, genuine dow...

LONG BEACH — Police this week are continuing their search for three armed suspects wanted for a takeover-style robbery at a medical marijuana dispensary, authorities said Monday.
Officers were called to the business, in the 5100 block of Atlantic Avenue, at about 10:41 p.m. Thursday after the suspects, whose faces were covered and who were armed with guns, stormed the dispensary, said Lisa Massacani, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
The suspects robbed the location of cash and marijuana before fleeing on foot in an unknown direction, Massacani said.
No one was injured and because the suspect's faces were covered there was no description available, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Robbery Detective Fermin Gonzalez at 562-570-7464.

Company History...
John was active in all aspects of the business to keep up with growth. With a small staff of only four employees, he couldn't afford to be "just a manager." The two things that initially set Stanton's Sheet Music apart from other stores were the extensive mailing lists that they compiled, and the ability of the staff to assess new materials to make high-quality recommendations. To extend the customer base beyond Central Ohio, John obtained the high school and middle school directories from surrounding states and sent a flyer to every school that seemed large enough to likely include a band or choir. Because John was careful to hire musically educated staff, each of those flyers was full of the very newest and best music for school ensembles.
Stanton's Sheet Music established a strong reputation with music publishers early on as a company that managed its finances well—more than your typical "Mom & Pop" music stores. Because of this, publishers were inclined to enter into new ventures with the store. With publisher support, Stanton's rented the basement of a nearby church to have its first choral reading session in 1961. Featuring both school and church choral music, this became a regular and well attended event that eventually moved to Mees Hall at Capital University to accommodate the up to 700 choir directors involved. For band directors, Stanton's was the only store in the state large enough to stock all the titles from the ever-growing Solo & Ensemble list. This made Stanton's Sheet Music a regular weekend destination for musicians from all over Ohio!
1972 – 1978 100 East Main Street
As the company grew so did its need to expand to a larger facility. In 1970 John leased space at 100 East Main Street which became a two floor operation. The first floor showroom was for piano and popular music, where teachers could pick up their teaching method books and find the latest popular arrangements for their students to enjoy. The second floor was for the band, orchestra and choral music, where directors would find stacks and stacks of music to peruse. It was during this period of the company that John and Mary started to think of retiring and passing the business on to new leadership. John conducted a national search looking for the right person, but eventually he discovered that the one person who seemed to stand out was already a Columbus resident.
James Strouse, a graduate of The Ohio State University, had taught several years as a high school band and orchestra director. In 1967, Jim was approached by Coyle Music Center, a large dealer of band instruments, to join them as a business partner. He left teaching to start his new career with Coyle's, and within a few short years he became a well known roadman to band directors in the Southern Ohio region. He was eventually asked to move back to Columbus to manage Coyle's ever-growing sheet music department, and began to develop an understanding of the needs of not only band directors, but choral directors as well. In December of 1975, John Stanton contacted Jim to discuss the idea of selling Stanton's Sheet Music. Jim and his wife, Shirley, had three small children at the time, so it was an enormous decision for them to take this kind of risk; however, within a short period of time an agreement was made and the purchase transpired. John stayed with the company for another year to smooth the transition before Jim made the announcement to the staff and publishers that he had purchased the company. John and Mary retired January 1st, 1977.
1978 – 1982 118 East Main Street
Within two years of Jim purchasing the company, 100 East Main Street had become too small for the ever growing inventory. With the addition of the toll-free number and continued development the mailing list, business was booming, and Stanton's needed more space. Three doors down on the same block, a small furniture store had vacated its location. It took four days and a lot of back-breaking work on the part of the staff to push cart after cart of music down the sidewalk to the new location. The size of the store was doubled so that all of the retail operation could fit on the first floor. For the next few years, the company continued to expand, reaching out nationally to find new customers. The demand for new products was growing so quickly that within four years of the move to 118 East Main, customers and employees were literally stepping over piles of music in the aisle ways. More customers were spending weekends at the store browsing and listening to recordings of new music, and the company was clearly growing out of the building.
1978 – 1982 Growth
Jim Strouse's enthusiasm for the company was immediate and the customer base was growing and growing. Jim's reputation with the band and choral directors he knew from Coyle's helped him to become a trusted resource at Stanton's as well. The staff continued to be comprised of active musicians with educational backgrounds. Strong relationships with publishers allowed Stanton's to see the thousands of new products being published each year.
During these years, the creation of workshops became a significant component of customer relations. In evaluating products for teaching opportunities, engaging texts, techniques, and appealing melodies/harmonies, Stanton's staff put together new music workshops for choral, band, hand bell, and classroom music. Stanton's also began attending state music education conventions and strengthening affiliations with local colleges. Bringing such clinicians as Bill Moffit, Ruth Artman, John Ness Beck, John Rutter, Joyce Eilers, Ed Lojeski, Roger Emerson, Mac Huff and John Jacobson to area events helped teachers to discover new music for their choirs and bands. Since publishers at the time could not produce CD recordings for mailed promotions as they do today, Stanton's workshops were a valuable tool for teachers to experience new music.
1982 to Present
By the early eighties, the downtown Columbus economy had started to drop. An area set aside in 1968 for downtown urban living had not met the city's expectations, and an A & P grocery store in that area was struggling to stay in business. In the summer of 1982, Jim began to inquire about both that building and another property further down on Main Street as possible new locations to accommodate Stanton's growth. The A & P building sale came up more quickly, Jim decided to act on the purchase, and Stanton's Sheet Music took ownership of the property in October of '82. By the end of December, renovations were done; Stanton's never closed, but after four days and many trips back and forth between 118 East Main Street and the new location, 330 South 4th Street was opened for business. The new location offered the expansive space of a building truly designed for retail sales. Staff was added, and the company had tripled in size by the end of the 1980's. To help manage the business, Stanton's purchased its first Apple computer in 1979. With the assistance of IBM, software to perform accounting and receiving duties was implemented in 1984, and by 1987, the entire inventory was integrated into a multi-user network.
Throughout the eighties and nineties, Stanton's was helping to shape -- and being shaped by -- the music publishing industry. The store turned to publishers to find products that were educationally sound, with good teaching opportunities and techniques, and the publishers knew they could count on Stanton's to help get those products into the customers' hands. Stanton's hosted the first Joy of Singing school choral workshop in 1985 to complement the already strong sacred choral reading sessions. A new Music First Express catalog, distributed jointly with Hal Leonard Publishing, allowed elementary schools across the country to discover Stanton's. The Kent State Choral Reading session and The Bowling Green Band Clinic workshops were becoming well established, and Stanton's was traveling to conventions, such as the National Flute Association, American String eachers Association, Trumpet Guild, American Choral Directors Association along with many regional state MENC conventions.
As the company approached the new millennium, Stanton's Sheet Music made it a priority to keep up with technology and remain relevant to the customers. Upgrading to a more capable mainframe and progressive programming helped the sales staff find information more easily and process it faster. The launch of www.stantons.com in 1995 was the beginning of several generations of websites that have taken Stanton's from a simple database lookup in the early days to today's website that incorporates a full sized listening library, product previews, clinic registrations, social networking, and music downloads, while still striving to bring musicians new products that include teaching and performance opportunities.
Jim Strouse began to contemplate retiring from Stanton's Sheet Music and the process of passing the reins to a new generation began. Two of Jim's children, Eric and Julia, had been deeply involved in the family business from a young age. They continued sharpening their skills through their college years and after graduation by working in several of Stanton's departments. Julia worked in the pop/keyboard department which allowed her to work with in-store customers, develop workshops and product promotions, and strengthen overall customer relations. Eric's work in the choral department from 1987-95 and the instrumental department from 1995-2005 developed his knowledge of standard repertoire, customer service, planning for conventions and clinics, general management and product marketing. When Jim retired in 2005, Eric Strouse took over as Company President and Julia Moessner as Vice President.
Eric and Julia continue working to take advantage of technology, remain relevant to today's consumers and grow Stanton's as an international force in the print music industry. Stanton's persists in seeking out new ways to establish and maintain customer relationships, and they carry on in providing high-quality recommendations from a musically educated staff. These two elements that set John Stanton's store apart from the competition in 1960 are still a vital part of the way that Stanton's Sheet Music operates today in 2010 and into the next 50 years.

Babywearing and Elimination Communication
I've just recently gotten a hold of a book called EC Simplified and the author suggests that one of the best ways to learn bub's rhythm for EC is by wearing him. I'm trying EC out and I was wondering if anyone had ever tried to learn potty signals this way? How did it go for you?
8th March 2012 04:59 AM #2
Dear wolfysmum,
Thank you for starting a discussion on this interesting topic.
Whilst I do not personally have experience of this (as my son is currently too young) a friend of mine lives in China and she was describing how mums there combine baby wearing and potty training. She said it is highly effectively (apart from a few little accidents!) and babies learn much quicker than non-babyworn babies to indicate to their parents when they need the toilet. One reason is that the baby is so close to the mum so it is easier for them to pick up on the signals the baby is giving quicker. Fascinating stuff!
I too would be interested to hear others' experiences of this.

Just about all the moms I know who practice EC combine it with baby wearing. They have great success, usually fully toilet trained by shortly after one. I would love to hear more about it but I personally have never tried EC.

Vince Gill gives emotional acceptance to CRS honor
Listen to Vince Gill on iHeartRadio
Vince Gill admits he didn't know what to say in accepting his latest honor. The singer is this year's recipient of the Country Radio Broadcasters' 2014 Career Achievement Award.
Gill became emotional during the presentation, as he shared how grateful he is for having the chance to make music for a living. He said he can still remember the first time he heard one of his songs on the radio, and it gave him "such hope."
Vince added that it's not just a moment he'll never forget -- it's a feeling he still gets every time he hears his music on the radio. The country star also said he believes his latest work is his best yet, and he has no intention to stop writing or recording songs anytime soon.
Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris presented Vince with the award. In addition to expressing their appreciation and admiration, they performed in Gill's honor. They teamed up to sing "Go Rest High on That Mountain," which Rodney called one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Gill received his award during the Country Radio Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, which took place in Nashville Tuesday night.

LONG BEACH - The Long Beach Unified Board of Education on Tuesday unanimously approved the closures of Keller Elementary and Butler Middle schools as part of a reshuffling that will affect several schools and thousands of students next fall.
Keller, a 50-year-old East Long Beach school at 7020 E. Brittain St., has about 360 students in kindergarten through fifth grade, making it one of the smallest schools in the district. The Keller campus will temporarily accommodate students from Newcomb K-8 School while Newcomb is being rebuilt over the next three years using Measure K school bonds, which by law can only be used for school construction and renovation. Keller students will have the options of transferring next fall to nearby Burcham K-8, staying at the Keller campus with the Newcomb students, or choosing another school under the district's priority placement program.
Marjean Hughes, principal at Keller for nine years, said the small school has a special, familylike atmosphere, but the neighborhood has few young children because of an aging demographic. Hughes said the school celebrated a milestone this year when its Academic Performance Index jumped 23 points to 806, passing the statewide target of 800.
"We have a diverse population and we've been able to meet the needs of all the students and move kids forward," she said. "It's sad that we're closing, but at least our students have the option of staying together."
All 551 students at Butler will be moved to the new Nelson Middle School, which is nearing completion at 20th Street and Cherry Avenue in Signal Hill. Nelson, which is slated to accommodate 1,141 students, will also see several hundred new students from nearby schools including Robinson K-8 and Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and Hughes middle schools.
The students at Roosevelt Elementary, which has about 1,000 students, will be transferred to Butler next school year as an interim campus while Roosevelt is being rebuilt with Measure K funds.
School officials said Roosevelt, which opened in 1921, is an aging campus.
Butler, a diverse school at 1400 E. 20th St. where nearly all the students are classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged, also saw major gains in its API score this year. The school's API jumped a whopping 49 points for a new high of 700.
This school year the district shuttered two schools as part of a round of budget cuts. Buffum Elementary at 2350 Ximeno Ave. and Burroughs Elementary at 1260 E. 33rd St. in Signal Hill both held their closing ceremonies in June.

This watch was given as a gift to a pilot who depends on accurate and timely knowledge of weather conditions. He uses this watch daily at his job, as well as off duty, to keep abreast of approaching fronts. He is amazed at the accuracy, as well as the comfort in wearing it.

LISTEN: AC/DC's Brian Johnson talks band's 40th anniversary
Listen to AC/DC on iHeartRadio
(Gater 98.7) - How's this for a Valentine's Day surprise? The Gater 98.7's Andy Preston, in Palm Beach, got a call from AC/DC's Brian Johnson!
He was in town for the Palm Beach Grand Prix that's happening this weekend at Palm Beach International Raceway! Get more info here.
Brian is actually going to be doing some racing this weekend. He shared some great racing stories with Andy.
He also ventured briefly into the music territory and I'm glad we did (at around the 6 minute mark below).
Andy asked Brian if there is anything planned for him and the band in 2014, and he said "You'll be the first one to know really....I think we'll be going into the studio in May in Vancouver."
He also added that since the band has been around for 40 years, he thinks they "are going to try to do 40 gigs to thank the fans for their undying loyalty!" He said it's been 4 years (since they toured) and he's really looking forward to it.

Sunriver is a planned resort community near the city of Bend in central Oregon. It sits at the base of the Cascade Mountains near the beautiful Deschutes River, and it is a popular place to visit in both the summer and the winter due to the availability of many outdoor sporting activities such as skiing and golfing. Your vacation home, cabin or condo is likely to feature a fireplace, hot tub and cable television along with bicycles for your use.
The village of Sunriver has a small central business district with a post office, restaurants and shops. However, the primary focus of life in Sunriver is outdoor sports.The community is connected by many connecting trails and bicycle paths and includes central recreational facilities. Many rental homes allow pets, so it is a wonderful place to include your four-legged friends in your vacation plans.The Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory
The Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory is a non-profit organization that offers educational programs. Stargazing and solar viewing along with presentations and exhibits about native plants and wildlife are available for your family to enjoy.
Sunriver boasts four golf courses; two are public, and two are private for homeowners and guests. There are many other golf courses in central Oregon - especially near the community of Bend where several golf courses have been described as among the best public golf courses in America.Bicycle Riding
Many people travel by bicycle throughout Sunriver. When you rent a Sunriver vacation home or condo, you can expect to find bicycles in the garage, or you can rent bicycles for your use during your stay. It is the best way to travel in Sunriver, and due to a wide network of bicycle trails, bicycles can be more efficient than traveling by car.
Sunriver has approximately a dozen restaurants, with many more dining possibilities in Bend. Pizza, coffee, Mexican and Italian food are all convenient dining options in Sunriver. Shopping options include art galleries, boutiques, gifts, apparel and toy shops. Bicycle rentals and other types of sports gear shops are available as well.
The weather in Sunriver is generally very desirable whether you are visiting in the summer or the winter. Winters include snow and lots of sunshine which appeals to skiers and snowboarders. Summers offer moderately warm daytime temperatures that are ideal for hiking and whitewater rafting. You will want to bring a full range of winter clothing and boots in the winter and be prepared for icy travel conditions. The best time of year to visit will depend on your favorite type of outdoor sports.
Sunriver has a private airport, and commercial air travel is available in Redmond, Oregon, which is approximately 30 miles from Sunriver. Bus service may also be available to Sunriver from a variety of locations throughout Oregon. Travel by private or rental car is the best option to reach the community of Sunriver, and travel inside Sunriver is best accomplished by bicycle or on foot.

— They moved into their low-slung Florida home on Memorial Day, 37 years ago.
And the first thing Joe did was dig a hole for a flagpole, right near the carport. He was a Navy veteran, survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the rock Mary Morgan Kleiss needed to bring order to the chaos in her life, which included work as a cocktail waitress, two young children and a one-armed former husband.
This Memorial Day, Mary can't help but cry over that house. She's 74, sitting outside her daughter's condo building in Alexandria, Va., and living in chaos. Again.
For 30 years, Joe, Mary and their kids then grandkids lived in that three-bedroom house in Port Charlotte. She...

Just an interesting article
She swam up the mouth of the Cape Fear River to the Turning Basin a little over a month ago.
Glad to see Huff post an article that doesn't take advantage of an opportunity to spin the story to the beat of the far left's drum. I quit reading that site over a year ago since they slid more and more into an opinion blog rather than a dry news blog..... but that's a different issue....
I would bet that any of us that have surfed consistently this fall and early winter have had Mary Lee within a few hundred yards of us. I know she was pinging around CB during winter break.
Used to go flying with grandfather around Pensacola beach, amazing the amount of sharks we would see swimming within feet of people and they had no clue. As much as I don't want to know, I am kind of curious exactly what is swimming beneath me around here.
16ft @ 3500lbs, epic swell!
**** this ****. grab a 12 gauge lets go seal hunting. then we wont have to worry about them coming close into shore to feed. cape cod. killem. block island. kill em
uhhh ...No. South Jax/ ponte vedra is shore pound at high tide in 2-3 ft of water or at most 20 yards out in knee deep water at low tide. Mary Lee... not in the surf break. Sharks ...yup.. Great Whites the size of cars...noQuote:
Mary Lee was within 200 yards of Florida's Jacksonville Beach.
Mary Lee had come way too close for comfort, penetrating the surf break, CNN reports.
they've become a problem when we decided to protect an animal thats now become a problem for all habitats. yes, take them off the protected list. notice these sharks would rarely be seen anywhere close to shore but because the gray seals have been protected now for the past twenty years they come in to feed on them. and no it would be nothing like the way you decribed it anyhow. **** sharks. i grew up in south florida. they suck.

The end of the world I never had the chance to knowby SierraWhen I reached the age of nine, I began seriously worrying about the age of accountability and the Rapture. There was no magical number attached to the former; indeed, the fact that I was old enough to worry about it seemed evidence enough that I should worry. I was obviously old enough to understand sin, and consequently was old enough to miss the Rapture. And the Rapture was coming.

Mary Hinton, vice president for academic affairs at
Mount Saint Mary College, recently blended song, soul and
scholarship in a presentation about "Gospel Music in Black
"You can trace the history of the church and the black community
though Gospel music," Hinton explained.
In the historic black church, praying, preaching, and singing
are viewed as the three pillars of religious life, according to
Before African Americans were allowed open access to the pulpit
or were provided the space and opportunity for prayer, they created
and shared communal songs.
These spirituals focused on freedom, resistance, and a quest for
"During the Desmond presentation we learned that many people,
and traditions, utilize song and praise to celebrate their
history," said Hinton of the event. "We shared our passion for
music and song, and some even contributed their beautiful voices to
the experience."
Hinton, who began her career in higher education as a religious
studies faculty member at Misericordia University and has taught in
the graduate programs at Seattle University's School of Theology
and Ministry, and in the University of Pennsylvania Executive
Doctorate in Higher Education program, detailed the evolution of
black sacred music beyond spirituals and through several
identifiable phases: including songs of sorrow, prayer and praise
songs, meter music, hymns of improvisation, and historic and modern
gospel music.
Each of the musical phases corresponds to various time periods
in the history of African Americans and reflects not only varying
musical styles and typographies, but also struggles in the African
American community.
Hinton's studies have been published in a number of outlets,
including her book "The Commercial Church: Black Churches and the
New Religious Marketplace in America," wherein the scholar's
research notes departures from the sound Christian theology that
historically, in the areas of preaching, prayer and praxis, shaped
a communal identity of African Americans in black churches.
Additionally, Hinton's expertise in the historic black church
was featured in the reference book "Religious Leadership."
Hinton's chapter, titled "Leading Historically Black Church
Congregations," explores if there is a difference between religious
leadership in the black church and other churches, and if it is
important to maintain any distinctive elements of that leadership
within a contemporary context.
During her tenure at Mount Saint Mary College, Hinton has
overseen academic affairs, strategic planning, academic assessment,
institutional research, and retention efforts.
She has guided the development of the Center for Student
Success, focused on college-wide retention efforts including
academic coaching, advising, developmental courses, tutoring, and
the Higher Education Opportunity Program.
Hinton has also coordinated a series of "inclusive excellence"
talks at the college, which featured discussions of young adult
spirituality, diversity in the classroom, African American history,
and more.
Prior to serving at Mount Saint Mary College, Hinton held
several roles at Misericordia University, including associate VP of
academic affairs and chief planning and diversity officer, and
assistant professor in religious studies.
Hinton, from Milford, PA, earned her bachelor's degree in
psychology from Williams College in Williamstown, MA, her master's
in clinical child psychology from the University of Kansas,
Lawrence, KS, and a PhD in religion and religious education with
high honors from Fordham University.
In addition to having taught college level courses, maintaining
an active research agenda and publishing articles, she also has
experience in identifying and replicating successful practices in
K-12 public education.

Packing the perfect QWERTY
The LG KS360 is a simple phone to use but yields big results. The main attraction here is the QWERTY slide out keyboard which can be used to enter text and email messages. There is really no area in which this phone doesn't perform well. From the multitude of menu buttons on the front of the phone to the easy to use call and end buttons on the side. Everything about the KS360 is about simplicity.
The 16.8mm width makes the phone very portable and easy to carry around and it also has a touchscreen for dialing made easy. These are just a few of the great features to be found on this phone.
Would it be too much to call it an all-in-one phone? Maybe, because it doesn't include some vital features, but it certainly has everything you'll need in day to day operations.
The phonebooks has room for lots of contacts and the MicroSD slot hold card up to 4 Gigabytes. The LG KS360 is all about expandability and offers lots of options for the user to customize the phone to their own liking.
Naturally there are Bluetooth and USB connections, but there is also a 2 Megapixel Camera included with the phone.
I think it's time in this description to give a little information on the amazing QWERTY keyboard that slides out of the phone. Most phones will give the user a slide-out keyboard and leave it at that. The KS360 delivers a QWERTY to put all others to shame. This keyboard has got menu buttons all over it and a letter layout that is similar to the T-Mobile Sidekick.
Overall, this is a very powerful phone with simple features that any cell phone user would be happy to use.
This and other unlocked phones are available from Cellhut at www.cellhut.com
