5 GreatJimMcBride | 11/11/2008 | See all JimMcBride's reviews (1)I have compared this dock to some of the more expensive ipod docks available and there is no difference in sound quality. The speakers look cool and they go very loud. The bass is exceptional. Well worth the money.
5 Dont listen to poncier website reviews..BenWestwood | 08/02/2010 | See all BenWestwood's reviews (1)I read numerous reviews for all sorts of units for the girlfriends G5 Nano and was being very very picky in all honesty.Eventually I settled for this unit. It turned out to be a fantastic buy. Over 20 pounds cheaper than your High Street stores and worth every penny of the current 47.99 price tag. Its very intuitive. It knows when the ipod or phone is docked and also when it isn't, switching itself off when its removed.I have used my iphone in it aswell as the nano with no issues and it also charged its too which alot of small units do not do.I'm so impressed with the Logitech that I am thinking of purchasing another model for my iphone. I think the system is also GSM protected so you can use an Iphone in it without the annoying beeping..but don't quote me on that.Overall very impressed, and if your like my girlfriend and dont listen to the lowers, mids and trebles in great detail you'll have money well spent. If you are abit more finnicky then at high volume you get a little bass distort if yo have changed your EQ on your Ipod/iphone...other than that, fantastic.Retro design, simple, remote included, for the money what else could you really want..to take it with you on a trip maybe... Well you can do that do. Car trip somewhere would be good, a little too big for your case to the Carribean though I feel.Enjoy.
5 Brilliant for the price! Outperforms anything in its classbracken2007 | 26/12/2009 | See all bracken2007's reviews (2)For the price and the size these have a brilliant sound. We listened to all sorts of alternatives but these were by far the best. Good rich sound with impressive bass. Also with good 'quality' look and feel. OK not super portable but round the house fine. Added bonus of a clock (nice display) and remote control. You won't find better unless you pay a LOT more!
5 Forget Bose speakersmidmarco | 29/01/2010 | See all midmarco's reviews (1)Got these from another web company for 40 pounds from the carphone house...I have to say I've had a couple of sets of iPod speaker but these have to be up there with the best .there also compatable with the iPhone as the speakers are shielded . I would recommend these superb iPod speaker
5 BrilliantDarkdeva92 | 16/02/2009 | See all Darkdeva92's reviews (3)This was well worth the £50 i spent on it, its a nice sound, and it comes out from the front and back making it spread around the room, its not amazingly loud but its loud enough for a bedroom in my opinion, it has replaced my alarm clock also.Great buy.

Shock turn to terror as the man in the polar bear cape begun burning one hundred talor bills. 'That's almost half annual pay' he thought, trying to determine whether he was hallucinating or not. Why would anyone in their right mind want to burn up money during a depression. It made zero sense. 'He must have a lot of money to spare' he concluded. Still, it bothered him. He never knew a rich man in his life that would idly throw away his money like that. Thus he came to another appropriate conclusion, '...Bastard' Either way he knew there was no point trying to attack him from the shadows now, he was caught. 'Oh, I bet they're laughing their asses off right now' he thought as he turned his head around to give the man a glare, wincing slightly at burning talor bill.
"Alright, here I am" he announced, turning to face the man. He took off his flat cap using his right hand as if saluting the man. His left hand was hidden by his left sleeve, slung to the side numbly. Placing the cap back on his head he gave a half smile half frown, his steel blue eyes wide open beneath the cap's brim. "You know...you're pretty bizarre, I don't know what to do with you honestly..." Those steel blue eyes glanced at the Ork. "But I was right...you are rich. Or you're bluffing." He pocket his right hand, his left hand swinging at his side as he stumbled over towards Leon. Leon would notice he was shaking. "Seriously, as if you're actually going to hand over that money for free. That is, unless you want information? That's what you want isn't it?" There was a hopeful tone in his voice, but it sounded weary, untrustworthy. His eyes danced between the three of them, hiding his arm nervously.
{Leon Borren}
Leon placed his hand over his eyes and burst into laugher, laugher that would chills down people's spines. "Such Action! Such Comedy! Quite a performance!" Leon exclaimed as he took off his hat exposing the scars on his face. He grin with teeth as he approached the would be robber, who seemed to be quite shaky. Leon had an arm around his new found toy. " Well bizarre...yeah, I won't lie, but that's why how am I. I mean, it did lure you right here to me, after all." He replied to the man.
Whispering into the man's ear, he asked a simple questioned " I'll bite, why are you afraid?" He could find how by simply searching for it, but Leon wanted to how he melted things first while he stalled for time. His tone, was normal now, but he still had an arm around the other man's shoulder. " Are you shaking, because of me, no, I think you fear something far worst, how about two hundred talors for your thoughts, hmmmm?" He asked and then went on to say " How about that, that sounds reasonable?"
" I'm in a playful mood, right now, so I recommend you agree to that." Leon warned to the man with that smile of his.

Acculturation: A Data-Driven Learning Guide (ICPSR 333)
Principal Investigator(s): Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
Data-Driven Learning Guides are a collection of instructional exercises that can be used to enhance teaching of core concepts in the social sciences. This learning guide investigates the assimilation and the separation/ethnic competition models of acculturation. Research questions that can be explored using this learning guide include: how acculturation may affect immigrants' socio-economic status as well as their mental and physical health, whether exposure to American mass media promotes acculturation, whether immigrants can maintain both a high acceptance of American cultural values and a high affinity for their ethnic cultural identity, what factors may promote or hinder acculturation, and what influence acculturation may have on immigrants' social and political attitudes. Crosstabulation is used in the analyses.

Basically you will cut the connector off the mic cable and solder on a connector that mates with your transmitter. Please follow these steps: 1. Cut the GLM-100 cable 4 feet from the microphone capsule. Using a wire stripper, trim off ½" of insulation. Twist the shield tightly and expose the red and white leads. Trim 1/8" off the ends of the red and white leads. That converts the GLM-100 into a GLM-100E. 2. From a vendor of your choice, get a wireless "body pack" or "belt pack" transmitter and receiver. They come in matched pairs because they must be tuned to the same frequency or channel. You said that the minister has a receiver. It must have come with a transmitter, and maybe that is available. You could use that transmitter if it is a body-worn or beltpack type, rather than a handheld type. 3. Once you have a transmitter and receiver, note the manufacturer and model number of the transmitter/receiver. For example, Shure UT-1, AKG WMS60 or Samson UT-4. 4. Download and print the Crown Technical Bulletin # 3, "Connections for Wireless Microphone Applications". Here is the web address of that document: http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/mics/125491.pdf That document has a page titled "Connections to GLM-100E". It tells what kind of connector you need in order to connect the mic to the transmitter, and it tells how to solder the connector. Here's an example. If you have an AKG WMS60 transmitter, get a TA3F connector (miniature 3-pin XLR connector) from an electronics vendor such as Radio Shack or www.digikey.com. As the document says, solder the mic-cable shield and white leads to connector pin 1. Solder the red lead to pin 2. Solder a jumper wire between pin 2 and pin 3. Each transmitter manufacturer has a different wiring, so you'll need to consult Technical Bulletin no. 3 for wiring information. If your transmitter is not listed, please call Crown Technical Support. They will find out what kind of connector and wiring are needed to mate the mic with your transmitter. Here is the web address of Crown Technical Support: http://www.crownaudio.com/support/techsupp.htm Another option is to contact the manufacturer of your transmitter, and ask them what mic connector and wiring are needed. The red lead of the GLM-100E connects to the pin that provides DC bias (positive voltage ). The white lead connects to the pin for the audio input (high-impedance if available). The shield connects to the ground pin. It might be easier just to purchase a new wireless mic system, already prewired with a lavalier microphone. Just mount the receiver close to the minister, away from metal surfaces, and run a cable from the receiver back to your church's mixer. For example, here is one vendor for the AKG WMS 40 Lavalier Pro Presenter System ($199): |

Please note: This audiobook contains graphic adult content.
When unworldly student Anastasia Steele first encountered the driven and dazzling young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that changed both of their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and, ultimately, repelled by Christian's singular erotic tastes, Ana demands a deeper commitment. Determined to keep her, Christian agrees.
Now, Ana and Christian have it all - love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian's opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own identity. And Christian must overcome his compulsion to control as he wrestles with the demons of a tormented past.
Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to make Ana's deepest fears turn to reality.

"In a class by itself." (Entertainment Weekly)
I love books! Audiobooks take stories to the next level. I'm obsessed with Audible and will try to rate all of my books. Happy Listening! ;)
"We ate the dessert first..."
So I finish the Fifty Shades trilogy... Oh the tragedy! Fortunately I can and will listen to all three books over and over. I just can't get enough Fifty. I think my inner goddess is a pervert ;).
Narration: By now Becca Batoe's remastered recording (the-I-just-drank-half-a-bottle-of-wine-and-started-reading) is growing on me. She's ok but I still prefered the original recording were she sounded young but her male voices were much better.
Fifty Shades Freed starts with Christian and Anastacia enjoying their honeymoon. It includes more kinky lovery, more vanilla wonders and more Christian going sicko possessive. By now this drags a bit because it is a repeat of situations: Christian jealous, Ana challenges them, they fight, the have steamy sex and so on and so forth. Christians skeletons keep coming out of the closet and threatening his dear Ana. There is some suspense that brings some spice to the book but it never lives up to the mesmerizing stories we got on the first two books. Oh, and Ana calls RED on fifty. I was waiting for that!
I believe that listeners will be happy with the ending. Definitely the epilogue and the Shades of grey chapters are the absolute best in the whole book. It was exactly what I wanted to listen to in this story. This trilogy is in a class of its own. I've never read anything like it and will treasure it for years to come.
"Thank goodness the torture is over"
Yes I must have some masochist tendency's as I tortured myself through the whole series - audible even! Mainly to see if the author and narrator could possibly be so consistently bad through to the bitter end.
My emotions? Frustrated there was no improvement in the writing skills of the author or narration skills of the reader. Disappointment that Ana never matures from her naive, malleable and subservient behaviors. There are times throughout the series that Ana thinks she's acting strongly and standing up defiantly for herself, against Christian, to protect her civil rights. What a bunch of horse pucky! It's sad how she so deludes herself. There are specific items/actions she considers deal breakers but will debase herself for the other 98% of time. She lets Christian roll over her like a freight train, coming and going. I lost track of the times she's trying to figure out how "not to make him so mad or so upset" - over and over. She constantly supplants her own needs for his wants and desires.
The book is grand example of how abusive and controlling behaviors can be exhibited and some classic victim thinking to go along with it.
"MORE! I need more Fifty Shades!!!"
This book was AWESOME, EROTIC, and well written.
Ana...she was funny and innocent and naughty.
She's always great!
When Chistian opened up to Ana about Elena.
I hope this author writes MORE!!!!
I love audiobooks! They allow me to do my daily chores and get a book read at the same time.
"I really enjoyed this trilogy!"
This trilogy came at a great time in my life.
I liked Becca Battoe's voice, although her Latin/Mexican accent was not good.
Yes! I did not want to stop listening to this book and I did not want it to end.
"Exciting conclussion to an outstand series!"
Yes, It was great being able to listen to the story being read to me while I worked around the house.
I loved the very exciting conclusion to the story and that all unanswered questions through out all three books were answered. I also LOVED that the epilog included the first chapter of the first book being retold from Christian's point of view.
All three of her readings of the Fifty Shades trilogy were very good through out.
Crop or Flogger?
This was one outstanding trilogy. I loved it start to finish. I hope E.L. James writes all three books from Christians point of view.
"READ the book first, don't LISTEN to it!!!"
Not really, it wouldnt be the book it is if I changed things in it. I was that good with my creative imagination I would be an author myself.
The handcuff sex scene during their honeymoon and the fact that he was unhappy about the marks later on.
Irritating, dull, unexciting.
The reader of this series does the book injustice. If I hadn't read it first I never would have gotten past the first chapter of the narration. Why, oh why could the producers not have found a better narrator?
I would recommend this book over and over again. I hope E L james makes a trilogy based on what Mr. Gray was thinking.
Christian. He had me so hot and bothered. I loved him.
I think she did a great job with all the characters.
When christian thought she was going leave him again and he became the Submissive.
This book was so awesome. I hope E L James takes my advice and PLEASE make books based on what Christian was thinking.
"Oh My Indeed"
I found the readers interpration of the characters laughable at best. She really got on my nerves. I was already dealing with a book that was not exactly what you call great writing but i wanted to see what all the hype was about...Oh good lord...
This book would have been better if every other page wasn't some weird "Kinky F-kery" I believe she called it. It was a lot too much!
If it's written by James...then for sure!
She was annoying
Not unless it was NC-17! And it starred porn stars!
I hate I spent money on this but, oh well. I wanted to catch up and see what all my girlfriends where gushing about. Now I think they all need to have their heads examined.
"Fifty Shades Freed"
A beautiful ending to a beautiful series. I picked it up and could not put it down. And now it is over, I feel like I need to read it again to catch all that I might have missed.
I decided that I wanted to also experience this series as the audiobook. At first I did not care for the narrator, she made Ana seem much younger than her 21 years, but after a while she grew on me. This series is even more enjoyable and intense in the audio format. I see myself reliving this series again and again in the future. For those who have gotten caught up in the hype and have not tried it, you are missing a truly beautiful journey of love between two loveable people.
Both Christian and Ana were my favorites, Christian a little more so than Ana. But they both had characteristics that I found loveable and enjoyable.
I didn't particularly care for her at first, her voice made Ana sound younger than she was supposed to be, but it eventually grew on me.
"This book left me wanting More! very Intense!"
I love to read, so I would have enjoyed the print too. But, this audio was great.
Christian Grey, Ana Steele
When Christian talked to Ana about little blimp.
Loved it.

quote:Issues off the field should have no bearing on whether or not a player makes the Hall of Fame. Cheating, however, should not be rewarded.

quote:Hall of Fame pitcher Juan Marichal doesn't see it that way. He thinks Bonds, Clemens and Sosa belong in Cooperstown. "I think that they have been unfair to guys who were never found guilty of anything," Marichal said. "Their stats define them as immortals. That's the reality and that cannot be denied."

2.a. Advanced Configuration
The config_eth0 variable is the heart of an interface configuration. It's a high level instruction list for configuring the interface (eth0 in this case). Each command in the instruction list is performed sequentially. The interface is deemed OK if at least one command works.
Here's a list of built-in instructions.
If a command fails, you can specify a fallback command. The fallback has to match the config structure exactly.
You can chain these commands together. Here are some real world examples.
Codice 1.1: Configuration examples
# Adding three IPv4 addresses config_eth0="192.168.0.2/24 192.168.0.3/24 192.168.0.4/24" # Adding an IPv4 address and two IPv6 addresses config_eth0="192.168.0.2/24 4321:0:1:2:3:4:567:89ab 4321:0:1:2:3:4:567:89ac" # Keep our kernel assigned address, unless the interface goes # down so assign another via DHCP. If DHCP fails then add a # static address determined by APIPA config_eth0="noop dhcp" fallback_eth0="null apipa"
Nota: When using the ifconfig module and adding more than one address, interface aliases are created for each extra address. So with the above two examples you will get interfaces eth0, eth0:1 and eth0:2. You cannot do anything special with these interfaces as the kernel and other programs will just treat eth0:1 and eth0:2 as eth0.
Importante: The fallback order is important! If we did not specify the null option then the apipa command would only be run if the noop command failed.
Nota: APIPA and DHCP are discussed later.
2.b. Network Dependencies
Init scripts in /etc/init.d can depend on a specific network interface or just net. All network interfaces in Gentoo's init system provide what is called net.
If, in /etc/rc.conf, rc_depend_strict="YES" is set, then all network interfaces that provide net must be active before a dependency on "net" is assumed to be met. In other words, if you have a net.eth0 and net.eth1 and an init script depends on "net", then both must be enabled.
On the other hand, if rc_depend_strict="NO" is set, then the "net" dependency is marked as resolved the moment at least one network interface is brought up.
But what about net.br0 depending on net.eth0 and net.eth1? net.eth1 may be a wireless or PPP device that needs configuration before it can be added to the bridge. This cannot be done in /etc/init.d/net.br0 as that's a symbolic link to net.lo.
The answer is defining an rc_need_ setting in /etc/conf.d/net.
Codice 2.1: net.br0 dependency in /etc/conf.d/net
rc_need_br0="net.eth0 net.eth1"
That alone, however, is not sufficient. Gentoo's networking init scripts use a virtual dependency called net to inform the system when networking is available. Clearly, in the above case, networking should only be marked as available when net.br0 is up, not when the others are. So we need to tell that in /etc/conf.d/net as well:
Codice 2.2: Updating virtual dependencies and provisions for networking
rc_net_lo_provide="!net" rc_net_eth0_provide="!net" rc_net_eth1_provide="!net"
For a more detailed discussion about dependency, consult the section Writing Init Scripts in the Gentoo Handbook. More information about /etc/rc.conf is available as comments within that file.
2.c. Variable names and values
Variable names are dynamic. They normally follow the structure of variable_${interface|mac|essid|apmac}. For example, the variable dhcpcd_eth0 holds the value for dhcpcd options for eth0 and dhcpcd_essid holds the value for dhcpcd options when any interface connects to the ESSID "essid".
However, there is no hard and fast rule that states interface names must be ethx. In fact, many wireless interfaces have names like wlanx, rax as well as ethx. Also, some user defined interfaces such as bridges can be given any name, such as foo. To make life more interesting, wireless Access Points can have names with non alpha-numeric characters in them - this is important because you can configure networking parameters per ESSID.
The downside of all this is that Gentoo uses bash variables for networking - and bash cannot use anything outside of English alpha-numerics. To get around this limitation we change every character that is not an English alpha-numeric into a _ character.
Another downside of bash is the content of variables - some characters need to be escaped. This can be achived by placing the \ character in front of the character that needs to be escaped. The following list of characters needs to be escaped in this way: ", ' and \.
In this example we use wireless ESSID as they can contain the widest scope of characters. We shall use the ESSID My "\ NET:
Codice 3.1: variable name example
(This does work, but the domain is invalid) dns_domain_My____NET="My \"\\ NET" (The above sets the dns domain to My "\ NET when a wireless card connects to an AP whose ESSID is My "\ NET)
2.d. Network Interface Naming
How It Works
Network interface names are not chosen arbitrarily: the Linux kernel and the device manager (most systems have udev as their device manager although others are available as well) choose the interface name through a fixed set of rules.
When an interface card is detected on a system, the Linux kernel gathers the necessary data about this card. This includes:
Based on this information, the device manager decides how to name the interface on the system. By default, it uses the first hit of the first three parameters above (ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD, _SLOT or _PATH). For instance, if ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD is found and set to eno1, then the interface will be called eno1.
If you know your interface name, you can see the values of the provided parameters using udevadm:
Codice 4.1: Reading the network interface card information
# udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/enp3s0 2>/dev/null ID_NET_NAME_MAC=enxc80aa9429d76 ID_OUI_FROM_DATABASE=Quanta Computer Inc. ID_NET_NAME_PATH=enp3s0
As the first (and actually only) hit of the top three parameters is the ID_NET_NAME_PATH one, its value is used as the interface name. If none of the parameters is found, then the system reverts back to the kernel-provided naming (eth0, eth1, etc.)
Using the Old-style Kernel Naming
Before this change, network interface cards were named by the Linux kernel itself, depending on the order that drivers are loaded (amongst other, possibly more obscure reasons). This behavior can still be enabled by setting the net.ifnames=0 boot option in the boot loader.
Using your Own Names
The entire idea behind the change in naming is not to confuse people, but to make changing the names easier. Suppose you have two interfaces that are otherwise called eth0 and eth1. One is meant to access the network through a wire, the other one is for wireless access. With the support for interface naming, you can have these called lan0 (wired) and wifi0 (wireless - it is best to avoid using the previously well-known names like eth* and wlan* as those can still collide with your suggested names).
All you need to do is to find out what the parameters are for the cards and then use this information to set up your own naming rule:
Codice 4.2: Setting the lan0 name for the current eth0 interface
# udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/eth0 2>/dev/null ID_NET_NAME_MAC=enxc80aa9429d76 ID_OUI_FROM_DATABASE=Quanta Computer Inc. # vim /etc/udev/rules.d/70-net-name-use-custom.rules # First one uses MAC information, and 70- number to be before other net rules SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="c8:0a:a9:42:9d:76", NAME="lan0" # vim /etc/udev/rules.d/76-net-name-use-custom.rules # Second one uses ID_NET_NAME_PATH information, and 76- number to be between # 75-net-*.rules and 80-net-*.rules SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_NET_NAME_PATH}=="enp3s0", NAME="wifi0"
Because the rules are triggered before the default one (rules are triggered in alphanumerical order, so 70 comes before 80) the names provided in the rule file will be used instead of the default ones. The number granted to the file should be between 76 and 79 (the environment variables are defined by a rule start starts with 75 and the fallback naming is done in a rule numbered 80).

Fans, players share the fun at Hall of Fame Classic
By Craig Muder
Their smiles were so big, you'd have thought they'd all just won the lottery.
Mike Timlin, bending over near home plate so players could sign his jersey. Jeff Kent, drilling homer after homer to win the pregame Hitting Contest. Lee Smith, signing autographs until every fan was happy at Doubleday Field.
It was the inaugural Hall of Fame Classic on Sunday in Cooperstown, and the fans cheered lustily at every opportunity — thrilled to have their heroes back on the playing field. But it was the players who seemed to be the most grateful.
"Thank you for having us here," said Kent, who was playing in the major leagues this time last year. "It's really a thrill to be in Cooperstown."
The day's longest ovation was reserved for Bob Feller, who started the game and revved up his legendary fastball one more time at 90 years of age. When he left in the middle of the first inning, the crowd of 7,069 fans at Doubleday Field gave him a standing ovation. When he received his first standing-O on the baseball mound, Franklin Roosevelt was president.
"Thank you for coming," Feller said the the crowd after his Team Wagner defeated Team Collins 5-4.
No, Bob.. Thank you for coming.
It could only happen in Cooperstown, the home of baseball dreams — for fans and players.
Craig Muder is the director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

quote:Yes and no. First off, you have to consider the legal system of the US. We have laws, and then we have laws undone by repeal or by judge ruling. That means either we create bad laws, or people don't understand laws and later have to change them, or times change and you have to change laws as well. As noted earlier, some judge rulings would side with our argument, some laws may not. Legality is hard to argue from because unlike ideology, it can be affected and changed by sources outside oneself. Therefore those people who argue from a legal standpoint only are more likely (IMO obviously) to have less time spent looking into ethical dialogue from which to determine their stances because their stances revolve around what other people have already set up for them. That was a long rant but to sum up is this: Just as most people run stop signs and red lights, citation or following of laws is usually only when it comes to ones own benefit. Ideology is what we are hammering at in this thread for the guys on my side of the fence. I don't care much for what the laws say, my opinion above the law is that public means public, you can't have two ways about it. I can clear up more if you want, I tend to write SOC.

Update November 30 – As Do The Parents – So Do The Ratings
After taking a week's break over Thanksgiving, RHoM returned last Thursday for its 12th episode titled 'Parent's Fly South' and so did the ratings as RHoM's ratings dropped to their lowest level since it received its Sunday reboot on October 28th. On November 29th 1,023,000 viewers tuned in scoring another 0.50 on the 18-49 demo, but that's a drop of -9.63% versus the previous episode, which aired on November 15th. Season to date RHoM shows declines versus its freshman season of -9.00% in total audience and -19.44% in the 18-49 demo. With the Reunion being filmed last Friday, November 30th, we're gathering there are just two regular episodes left and that the Reunion will air on December 20th (although we've since been informed that there are 3 regular episodes left plus the Reunion).

A trip worth the wait
By Matt Aldrich
Every visitor who enters the Baseball Hall of Fame has a special story of how they arrived in Cooperstown. Some visits, however, are about more than just baseball.
Last month, Hall of Fame member Doug Plunkett and his daughter Amy and son Erik arrived in Cooperstown a year after they had originally planned. But for Doug Plunkett, just the chance to make the trip was itself a miracle.
In June 2007, Doug was diagnosed with cancer in multiple organs. He went through a serious surgery after which he spent months recovering and regaining strength at home. His family thought they were in the clear and believed the cancers were caught early enough before they had a chance to spread to yet another location.
Despite Doug's hardships, he continued to follow baseball – and at one point made mention to Amy that he wanted to go visit Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame. Amy thought this would be a perfect way for him to celebrate his recovery. On Christmas 2008, Amy gave Doug a Hall of Fame membership so he could visit the Museum and enjoy Memories and Dreams – the official publication of the Hall of Fame – all year long.
But soon after Christmas, Doug learned that the cancer had indeed metastasized. His battle against the cancer continued with another surgery in March 2008 and then chemotherapy from April to October 2008.
But with time, Doug had been able to recover again, and the results from his diagnostic scans have all been clear. Finally – with Doug feeling better – the family traveled from Las Vegas and arrived in Cooperstown in September 2009. Doug's favorite part of his visit was the large photograph of Carl Yastrzemski and he enjoyed seeing memorabilia from the team he loved growing up, the Boston Red Sox.
But most of all, Doug cherished the time with his family in Cooperstown. It was a trip that included a detour, but one that was worth the wait. To learn more about Hall of Fame Membership, visit www.baseballhall.org/membership.
Matt Aldrich is the manager of membership at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Special service
One of the things I enjoy most about my job is that the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is fun – and it makes people happy when they are here. As with most museums, our visitors come from all walks of life – including those who are retired, or even in the prime of their career.
I had the great fortune to meet one such individual who is in the prime of his career on Thursday. This young man is from a small town not to far from Cooperstown – a little town called Wells Bridge, N.Y. Nicholas Zorda been to Cooperstown before, visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame numerous times, including as a member of the Otego, N.Y., American Legion baseball team during the 1998 and 1999 seasons. He was a first baseman for the team and had the opportunity to play on historic Doubleday Field.
On Thursday, he visited the Hall of Fame with many members of his family, including his wife Kristy, two-year-old daughter Cali, and four-year-old son, Cooper, who incidentally is named after one of his favorite towns – Cooperstown. He was also accompanied by his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and colleagues – this was not the typical baseball fan visit, but a special visit, because Navy Career Counselor First Class Nicholas Zorda chose to reenlist for three more years in the United States Navy in a little ceremony in the Hall of Fame Plaque Gallery.
Petty Officer First Class Zorda could have stayed at his office and reenlisted, but he wanted to share this moment with everyone who means so much to him, in a place that means so much to him. A lifelong St. Louis Cardinals supporter, Nicholas is a big fan of Bob Feller who also served in the Navy, as well as Stan Musial – an icon of the Cardinals' rich tradition.
He was happy to be here, and we were happy to have him.
Scot Mondore is the director of licensing and sales at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Just read the blog! What a great day all around. It was certainly a lifelong dream of mine to have a ceremony at the Hall of Fame. I always dreamed it was going to be an induction ceremony, not a re-enlistment. Nevertheless, my family and I appreciated the hospitality and look forward to returning very soon. Thank you for making one of my dreams come true.
It was a great day for us to witness the ceremony of your re-enlstment. Thank you for including your grandparents who are very proud of you and your family. B & J Shultis

Friday, August 9, 2013
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. Bethany Hicok, Westminster associate professor of English, recently presented research on Pulitzer prize-winning poet Elizabeth Bishop at Rollins College's Cornell Fine Arts Museum in Winter Park, Florida.
Hicok made her presentation during the Questions of Travel exhibition. It was named after Bishop's poem, which provided the focus for the exhibition. The poem hung alongside pieces of artwork that reflect journeys. Hicok discussed how Bishop's travels around the world influenced the author's poetry and its painterly effects.
The presentation was part of the museum's "First Friday at the Cornell" program. On the first Friday of select months visitors enjoy free admission, refreshments and extended hours. They are also invited to enjoy educational programing and optional docent-led tours, demonstrations, or gallery talks.
Hicok, who joined the Westminster faculty in 2001, earned an undergraduate degree from Russell Sage College and two master's degrees and Ph.D. from the University of Rochester. She is the author of Degrees of Freedom: American Women Poets and the Women's College, 1905-1955, and co-editor and contributing author of Elizabeth Bishop in the 21st Century: Reading the New Editions, a book of essays on Bishop. In addition to articles on Bishop, she has published articles on Marianne Moore, and Wallace Stevens, contributed chapters to three books, and delivered papers on American poetry at professional conferences.
Contact Hicok at 724-946-6349 or email for additional information.

Obviously a ton of fuss is made about homosexuality by Christians, as we have seen lately there is a bit of a war going on between the two sides. Obviously, from an atheistic point of view, the whole argument is ridiculous because we believe deriving morals from a book written by primitive humans to be absurd, but Christians believe it to be the word of God, so it's understandable that they would condemn the behaviour.
What I want to address is the double-standard that seems to be present here, where Christians take some passages claiming homosexuality to be wrong and treat them as gospel, whereas other passages are ignored or treated as no longer important because the laws were done away with.
For instance, one of the passages used to attack homosexuality is:
Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."
But, Leviticus also gives instructions on how to sacrifice animals, like this:
"If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering."
And more ridiculous things, such as:
"Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:"
And this about certain foods being abominations:
"And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you."
And as for menstruating women:
"They are unclean and sinful. Anthing that they touch is unclean. Anyone who touches anything that they touch is unclean. Stay completely away from them."
What do Christians do when their wives are menstruating? Do they literally stay away from them and anything they touch?
Why is so much being ignored but homosexuality is focussed on? Should Chick Fil-A, for example, be banning women on their period because they are unclean and a hazard to everyone else in the restaurant? Or should Christians be picketing the people who are eating bacon? If not, why not?
Am I missing something important in my understanding here?

Want to see the complete list of nominees, and get in on the voting? Head to 148Apps.
Over at GiggleApps.com, Amy Solomon took a closer look at Hansel & Gretel: Lost, saying, "Hansel & Gretel: Lost is a well crafted re-telling of this classic story for iPad, wonderfully illustrated with animations as well as including top-notch narration, music and sound effects. Auto-play is also an option as well as silencing the narration to read this book by oneself.
It is easy to tell from the first page that this app is something special. The illustrations are lush with color and beautiful to look at with a marbled textured style that I always find appealing. Every element in this book is at a superlative level of quality that adults will greatly appreciate, as will their children."

Finally, AndroidRundown.com writer Carter Dotson took on the establishment and challenged the conventional wisdom about "iPhone Killer" hardware: "Well, it took a bit longer than expected, but it seems like Google is finally going to use their Motorola acquisition to actually make a standout phone for themselves, the "X Phone." Or whatever the next Nexus device will be called.
The immediate speculation swirling around is that this is finally Google's "iPhone Killer." You know, like the other Nexus devices that were iPhone killers. I don't think that anything at this point will be an iPhone killer. It just isn't going to happen."

5 Pretty, Perfect, PowerfulDannehkins | 06/05/2011 | See all Dannehkins's reviews (18)Top 100 Electronics Reviewer Top 100 Mobile Reviewer When you first set eyes and hands on the Galaxy S2, there are two things that will probably go through your mind at first glance. First off, 'wow, that screen is big' and second, 'it's so incredibly light and thin'. You would definitely not be wrong as the screen is approximately 4.3" and it only weights in at 116g.I am going to address the screen first. The Galaxy S2 sports a Super AMOLED Plus screen (an improvement over the Super AMOLED screen in the Galaxy S) and it offers much more crisper text and much more vibrancy and brightness in the colours. It is an absolute joy to watch videos, play games or view pictures. It's definitely one of the biggest things about this phone that I like to make a song and a dance about, because it truly is a fantastic screen that you won't find with other phones.Moving on, the Galaxy S packs 1GB of RAM and a 1.2GHz dual core processor and the results are very noticeable. The power-up is quick, the fluidness of swiping screens is incredible and just the general responsiveness of the phone is magnificent. The power of this phone bursts out at you from everywhere; you simply cannot help but instantaneously notice it.The camera quality and video recording is just phenomenal on this phone. The 8MP camera produces some great, high quality shots and the recording at full HD is just the height of this phone's capabilities. It is important to note that at full HD (1080p), you cannot use the zoom function on the camera. The phone also has a 2mp front facing camera and although it isn't as impressive as the rear facing camera, it's one of the highest quality front facing cameras that I have used. It should make video conferencing that little bit more crisper.The design and aesthetics of the phone are probably the one thing that will be a hit and miss with people. The phone feels very nice in your hand and is lovely and thin; however, it does not sport the premium feel that you may find with other phones. It is definitely an upgrade from the Galaxy S, but I wouldn't consider it to be premium. Nevertheless, I find it still very nice to hold and to use.The new TouchWiz 4.0 is a big improvement over the previous instalment and there is a nice overlay. The wallpapers look even more impressive, mainly due to the Super AMOLED Plus screen.I have managed to use the game hub and although the selection of games is not largely diverse, there are still a nice selection of social and premium games and some are free.I really do not know what else to say about this phone. The browsing experience is great, the responsiveness and fluidity is perfect, the quality is out of this world. This phone is really so enjoyable to use and I would go out of my way to recommend this phone to anyone looking at a new smartphone or an Android powered phone; it's a real treat and I think Samsung have manufactured a winner here.
5 iPhone KILLERABDULJABBAAR | 29/04/2011 | See all ABDULJABBAAR's reviews (1)This phone has just killed the iPhone 4. Still going through its features but so far I can say that its excellent, very bright due to its Super AMOLED display, and full of media capabilities. It also has a 1080p full res video recorder. NICE.
5 Amazing!!jenniferk87 | 18/05/2011 | See all jenniferk87's reviews (1)I have had this phone nearly a week now. I love it. It has everything! I was thinking about an iphone but this is far better in my opinion. If you want an iphone for the apps, this has thousands and you can get a lot of the apps that the iphone has. I love how you can read people's facebook etc updates in your contacts and use the Social Hub for seeing all of your emails, twitter, facebook updates in one place. The camera is 8 MP, and the screen makes the images so clear!! i couldn't believe how high quality the pics come out, even when you zoom in. I love how you can tap & scroll down at the top of the screen which shows you all of your notifications then you scroll back up to close it. The phone does have a a large screen which people might be put off, but I think it's not far bigger than the iphone and HTC's. It is sooo light though so definately doesn't mean its bulky. The battery goes down rather quickly but I am on it all the time so not suprised about that. Really cant say anything negative about this phone at the moment!! I would recommend this phone to anyone.
5 Perfect PhoneBallyboy1067 | 07/05/2011 | See all Ballyboy1067's reviews (2)I have had this phone for just over a week, and can say its by far and away the best gadget i've ever owned. Putting this into context in terms of phones, i've had an HTC Desire, a Desire HD, and an Iphone 4, and it blows them all away. Its rather like comparing a Ferrari against a Ford Mondeo, its that good.The phone looks and feels great. And yes its not as stylish in terms of visual appeal as say the iphone 4, with its lovely metal body, but hey i'd prefer lightness and thinness to anything else, especially with a phone of this screen size. I had an HTC Desire HD, with the 4.3 inch screen, and metal casing, and you definitely knew you had it in your pocket, this you don't. And its built really well, doesn't creak at all, unlike my HTC Desire HD.The speed of the machine is unreal, and lets face it, it should be, as its faster than quite a few pcs and laptops. It takes everything in its stride, especially HD movie playback. I've run a blueray rip of Avatar on the phone, and it runs perfectly,which amazed me. I also have a DNLA TV, and it works perfectly with the phone.As for the camera, its great, as is the video.Oh and it actually works very well as a phone, the reception is great, and sound quality is excellent.I am quite shocked that reviewers haven't proclaimed this as a revolutionary phone, and stated that it's simply the best phone out there, I mean period, and by some distance. It does everything very well, and has no real weakness, and for that alone its a winner. What else do you want from a phone?
5 Great...but..DNA123456 | 06/05/2011 | See all DNA123456's reviews (2)The UK version doesnt come with NFC. Samsung shiped UK versions without the NFC chip inside so it cant even be enabled. Otherwise, the best phone of 2011

Both are the products of more than a century's worth of design evolution and, for the last 110 years, the infamous Motor Company from Milwaukee has designed some of the most iconic motorcycles on the road. Whether you hear its big V-Twin burbling a mile away or catch its distinctive teardrop gas tank from the corner of your eye, you always know a Harley when it passes. Its designs have inspired hundreds of thousands of rabid fans the world over, and the resultant cult of Harley has become a global phenomenon bound to the freedom and independence that is Americana. One of only two American motorcycle brands to survive the Great Depression, the Harley-Davidson Motor Company was integral in designing vehicles that assisted the Allied powers through both world wars. The steed of choice of such legendary pop culture icons as Evel Knievel, Elvis Presley, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator and the Hells Angels, Harley-Davidson motorcycles have carried with style and power countless American legends, both real and fictional, on and off the track. The engineering and design prowess that has made Harley-Davidson the global leader in heavyweight motorcycle sales has, however, been anything but fictional, as its record-setting performances on race day have proven. In celebration of its 110th Anniversary, the Motor Company invited us out to Berlin to experience what Harley-Davidson's all about. This, however, was certainly only a warm-up for the festivities it has planned for Labor Day weekend in Milwaukee. Then, thousands upon thousands of Harley enthusiasts will flood the city to celebrate their favorite brand's birthday. In preparation for such a celebration, take a step back in time and journey through the design evolution of Harley-Davidson, one of America's most iconic brands.
