Today is the day CrackBerry Nation! We are literally minutes away from beginning the rollout of our long awaited and much anticipated "CrackBerry 10" website upgrade!
This is a MASSIVE push for us. It has been over two years since we have given the site a visual refresh and is the first time in our 6+ year history that we are upgrading our backend content management platform.
During the upgrade we will be taking the CrackBerry homepage and article content offline.
Take note, you will still be able to purchase goodies at ShopCrackBerry.com and browse and post in our CrackBerry Forums.
Site Relaunch Forum Contest: While the blogs are being upgraded, you can win a FREE BlackBerry Z10 from CrackBerry! Jump over to our CrackBerry site relaunch contest thread and leave a post - this is your last chance to enter!
ShopCrackBerry Site Relaunch Sale: Jump over to ShopCrackBerry.com and use coupon code NEWCB at checkout to save 15% on ALL BlackBerry Accessories! Sale ends tonight at midnight PST.
Once we take the site offline, expected downtime is approximately 4 hours. Be sure to follow @crackberry and @crackberrykevin on twitter and we'll keep you in the loop as we work through the process.
As we bring the new site online things may be a bit messy for an hour or two as we get everything in place. Once the relaunch dust settles, the next article you see from me will be a quick note welcoming you to the new and improved CrackBerry.com! Let's Rock & Roll This!!

...In the mean time, we will be downgrading Android Central, iMore, WPC, and WebOS Nation, to bring them in line with their outdated OS's

Sirhill Mar 6, 2013 at 10:46 am
Funniest thing I have read all morning
Android Central will be flooded with malware; iMore will have only one clickable link, all users must return to the home page before visiting any other pages; WPC will automatically update your OS to look exactly like the site, despite reducing productivity; and WebOS Nation will no longer be supported or updated with new material....

Nice eye candy Kevin, lots of work done here but...
The old CrackBerry was never PlayBook friendly and the New CrackBerry is worse.
Opening blog from the forums logs you out and you have to wait through another painfully slow page load just to sign back in.
Seriously there needs to be a minimal hardware standard to target average performance like a 1 Ghz system like the PlayBook in its current form.
Typing this comment is very laggy. Please streamline and make it PlayBook friendly.

Singing lieutenant's legacy lives on
Beth Sholom award honors employee, resident 'idol'
In his last 12 years of life, Art Heller coped with a debilitating stroke, a move from his lifelong home in New Jersey, and the stress of adjusting to serious health limitations and life in an assisted living facility and new town.
But he didn't simply meet the challenge gracefully, say those who knew him. He excelled at his new life, won over an entire community of residents and employees in his new home, and went on to become an icon of the community who is still revered today.
Although the World War II veteran passed away in 2004 – on Veteran's Day – his name still comes up frequently in conversations at Beth Sholom. From his stellar singing voice to his enthusiasm for baseball and his charismatic personality, Heller continues to live prominently in the memories of his Beth Sholom family.
"The staff at the home absolutely adored him," says Arthur's son, Dan. "He had a personality that was able to engage everyone."
Heller recalls that when family members visited other residents of the home, and their own relatives were not doing well, they would seek out Art Heller to get the lift in spirits they needed.
"They'd stop and see my dad and just spend a few minutes, and then they'd tell me how good it made them feel," says Heller. "He had that uncanny ability."
What's more, Art's legacy lives on in the annual Arthur Heller Employee Recognition Award award, which his grateful family established both as a tribute to Heller and as an appreciative gesture to the staff members who helped make his life so enjoyable in his later years.
Heart of gold
This year's award recipient, Mike Sorenson, has worked at Beth Sholom for 17 years in roles ranging from maintenance to night watchman to his current job as medical supplies coordinator. Deirdre Arnowitz, director of social work at Beth Sholom, says Sorenson is not only a deserving recipient, but one who has much in common with the award's namesake.
"Mike is such a sweet man," says Arnowitz. "He'll do anything for anybody and he's very kind to all the residents."
Arnowitz adds that among the roles Sorenson has assigned himself over the years -- without being asked -- is caretaker of animals at the home.
"He loves cats and birds, and when we had a resident cat, Mike took care of her all the time," says Arnowitz. "He took her to the vet and came back on weekends to feed her. He wanted to make sure the residents had a cat."
When the cat died, Sorenson took care of subsequent pets, including birds. He would make sure the birds were covered at night, and took them to residents to keep overnight. "The residents did better because of his efforts," says Arnowitz.
Arnowitz also points out that when feral cats became a problem outside the residential community, Sorenson found homes for all of them as well. On the job, says Arnowitz, Sorenson is known for his knack for fixing things, and often helps out in the rehabilitation department repairing wheelchairs.
"He just has a heart of gold," says Arnowitz, "and an unassuming manner. He never wants attention for himself and was just flabbergasted to get the award."
'King Arthur'
While Sorenson is reluctant to speak of himself, he lights up with a smile remembering Art Heller, whom he calls a "good man" with a talent for singing and playing the piano.
Arnowitz confirms Heller's talent for entertaining, and cites a list of favorite songs he would sing, including "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling."
"We called him King Arthur," says Arnowitz with a laugh. "He sang for every talent show and sing-along, and everyone followed along. I remember he also sang 'Always' to [his granddaughter] Erin.
"He had the most gorgeous blue eyes. He just melted us."
Dan Heller notes that his father's singing voice was something of a legend, and that he entertained the troops during the 1940s.
"There's a picture of him singing to 10,000 troops in Louisville, Kentucky," says Heller. "They called him 'The Singing Lieutenant.' But he was very modest, and other family members had to tell us about it."
Heller says that after the war, his father apparently auditioned for a singing role, and ended up taking second place. The man he lost out to was Dennis Day, who later went on to fame as Jack Benny's sidekick.
"I tell my children," says Heller, 'If there had been an American Idol in the 1940s, your grandpa would have been in the top ten.'"
'He meant so much'
But it was Art Heller's demeanor, even more than his talent for entertaining, that stands out in the memories of those who knew him.
"He was so appreciative," says Arnowitz, "and so amenable to everyone. Art was just the nicest, kindest, smartest – and he would share about his life. I always assigned social worker interns to him, because he was such a great guy to get to know."
Dan Heller tells the story of an encounter about two years after his father died, when he was in line with his son at a fast food restaurant and noticed a woman staring at him.
Eventually the woman approached him, saying, "You're Mr. Heller's son." She told Dan that she had worked at Beth Sholom years ago, and that in her 25-year career working in nursing homes, his father was the "nicest man I ever met."
"Then," recalls Dan, "she takes out her wallet and shows me his obituary. She looked at me and said, 'He meant so much to me.'"
Hearing that from a professional with that much experience in the field, says Heller, told him that establishing the employee recognition award was clearly the right way to recognize his father.
Since establishing the award (which he discussed with his father before his death), Heller has noticed that the idea seems to generate other ideas for good turns. One day, Heller happened to mention the award while on the golf course, telling his fellow players how it honored not only his father's memory but also the unsung heroes who work at Beth Sholom. One golfer, who had just lost his son in an accident, was moved to donate gift cards to all of the award recipients in his son's memory.
It's also tradition that as part of the annual awards ceremony, previous recipients join the celebration and are given corsages and gift certificates. The current winner, surrounded by residents, staff, and friends of the community, receives a cash award in addition to the recognition.
The ceremony never fails to move Deirdre Arnowitz and members of the Heller family (Dan, wife Nancy, and children Ben and Erin – all of whom have volunteered at the home for years) – or to elicit memories and story-telling about "King Arthur."
"I am so glad he lived here 12 years," says Arnowitz. "We were so lucky to have him."

Western Henrico Rotary helps fund Midwives For Haiti Jeep
Thanks in part to a $10,000 gift from the Western Henrico Rotary Club, another bright pink Jeep modified to travel extremely rough terrain has been delivered to Midwives For Haiti so that more pregnant women in the quake-ravaged country will have access to prenatal care and a greater chance of surviving childbirth.
The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

Awesome generator! Starts on the first pull, runs quietly & efficiently for hours on a fill-up. Used it when Hurricane Irene blew through here & we lost power for what seemed like forever. It ran everything I plugged into it without hesitation. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone. It's worth every penny. Lots of bang for your bucks here folks. Thanks Heartland!

Starts good, good on gas, plenty of AC to keep you going on a power outage and use in a RV (Air cond, lights, small TV and fridge). I have used it a few times as listed and it worked great.
9/6/2011 - VC - Englewood, NJ
Purchased the Generator a few months prior to hurricane Irene, lost power for 4 days, generator proved to be worth every dollar spent, was able to power a freezer, refridgerator, sump pump, and lamp with the only limitations being fuel. Generator ran flawlessly for the whole time allow ing my family to keep key appliacies functioning during the power outage. Highly recommend this device.
9/3/2011 - JK - St. George, UT
This generator is everything advertised It started on the first pull. although I bought it for emergency power outages, i plugged a 25 foot cord into it and attached a skill saw to the cord. It worked great.. I would recommend it to anyone either for auxiliary power or to have in case of commercial power outages.
6/21/2010 - TB - Amboy, NJ
I was able to run 2 RV Air Cond, small TV, rv battery charger and a light without any problems. Starts Quick.

Discover Qatar's rich culture, history, and influence during your Qatar stopover.
Originally a pearling and fishing settlement, Qatar has a long history as an important trade hub in the region. Today it is a dramatic mix of traditional and contemporary culture as seen along the Corniche where traditional dhow boats coast along Gulf waters amid a backdrop of dazzling modern skyscrapers.
Also located on the Corniche is the Museum of Islamic Art. Designed by renowned architect, I.M. Pei, it houses a unique collection detailing the spirit, intricacy, and variety of Islamic art from the 7th to 19th century. History enthusiasts can delve deep into local history with a special visit to Sheik Faisal's Museum to view his enviable collection of Arabian antiquities. Meanwhile, modern art lovers will appreciate the newly opened Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art.
Approximately an hour outside of Doha, the Inland Sea, or Khor Al Udaid, is a naturally formed inlet of the Gulf. This remarkable landscape is home to awe-inspiring 40-metre high sand dunes and an abundance of terrestrial and marine plants and animals. Schedule a desert safari or dune bashing trip to traverse this untouched part of Qatar and get in touch with your inner explorer. Adventurers will also appreciate the many water and beach sports available at various resorts and hotels throughout Doha.
Sports enthusiasts will also enjoy a chance to golf on Doha's championship course or take in a football match or horse race. For a taste of local sporting traditions, attend a camel race held during the late fall through late winter.
Delight in an abundance of world cuisines, 5-star restaurants, and award-winning chefs.
Food and drink are an integral part of Qatari culture and hospitality. In keeping with this tradition, Doha offers a multitude of cuisines to satisfy your palate including Arabic, British, Italian, French, American, Mexican, Indian, Japanese, and many others.
Indulge your inner shopaholic at any of Doha's numerous malls, shopping complexes, and souqs.
Traditionally in Arabian towns, shops were grouped according to goods they sold. In Doha, this custom is still found among the city's many souqs. Souq Waqif, built in the style of these historical marketplaces, is the place to go for Arabian souvenirs, handicrafts, spices, incense, and perfumes. Locally harvested honey, handmade camel riding equipment, pottery, incense, and flowers can be found at the Omani Souq. The Gold Souq is the best place to browse beautiful gold and silver jewellery or order a specially handcrafted piece.
Fashionistas will appreciate shopping the latest trends at one of Doha's many grand malls. Located in the heart of Doha's breathtaking skyline, City Centre mall offers 300,000 sq. m. of shops, restaurants, two ice skating rinks, a climbing wall, a cinema, and bowling alley. Villaggio mall is designed in the style of an Italian village with a 500-metre long Venetian canal and gondolas. In addition to its array of shops and stores, Villaggio mall also houses a cinema, bowling alley, ice skating rink, and family amusement park. Or, stroll through the Pearl-Qatar, a manmade island built on an old pearl diving site off the coast of Qatar. This Arabian Rivera offers an exclusive selection of 5-star restaurants and upscale designer boutiques.
Doha comes alive at night with twinkling lights, bustling restaurants, and a thriving social scene.
Enjoy Doha's numerous bars and nightclubs located in major hotels including the Ramada Plaza, W Hotel, or Sheraton Resort. Or attend a show by one of the internationally popular musicians, major dance groups, or entertainers that regularly perform in Doha.
If you are looking for a more authentic Arabian nightlife experience, visit one of the many shisha lounges. Relax on oversized throw pillows as you inhale fruit-flavoured smoke from a hookah or water pipe. Or settle in at a cafe at Souq Waqif or on a blanket along the Corniche and enjoy the evening scenery.

Brought to you by the Democrats Club, this acclaimed documentary film chronicles that "for the past 40 years, the war on drugs has resulted in more than 45 million arrests, $1 trillion dollars in government spending, and America's role as the world's largest jailer. Yet for all that, drugs are cheaper, purer, and more available than ever. Filmed in more than twenty states, The House I Live In captures heart-wrenching stories of those on the front lines — from the dealer to the grieving mother, the narcotics officer to the senator, the inmate to the federal judge — and offers a penetrating look at the profound human rights implications of America's longest war." http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/house-i-live-in/film.html Come view the film and then participate in a Skyped Q & A session with one of the producers.

text: I need some advice, I recently replaced an aging 2ch yamaha power amp w/ a 2 prong A/C cord with a new amp that has a 3 prong. Now I am getting some ground loop buzzing from the main speakers when I turn on my plasma tv which has the only other 3 prong in the system. I have a tried the cheater plug and it works but is it ok to use? I dont want to damage anything of course. Or would a power conditioner solve this? I looked at the Panamax 4300 that was suggested on another thread but would like a quick yay or nay before I purchase.

Menkes syndrome is an inherited genetic disorder due to an abnormal gene, ATP7A. Menkes syndrome causes impaired copper absorption. This results in changes in the arteries and deterioration of the brain.
Menkes syndrome is rare. It occurs in 1 out of every 50,000-100,000 births. It affects primarily males. Most children born with Menkes syndrome have a life expectancy of 3 to 5 years.
Copper proteins are necessary for the body to build bone, nerves, and other tissue. Babies with Menkes syndrome have a genetic disorder that prevents the absorption of copper from the intestines and causes it to build up in excess amounts in the kidney, while remaining deficient in the liver and brain. This causes changes in the hair, brain, bones, liver, and arteries.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of getting Menkes syndrome include:
- Sex: male
- Family members with Menkes syndrome
Children with Menkes are often born prematurely. Symptoms usually begin within three months after birth and may include:
- Seizures
- Difficulty feeding
- Developmental delays
- Floppy muscle tone
Babies with Menkes syndrome often exhibit the following physical characteristics:
- Hair that is stubby, tangled, sparse, lacking in color, and easily broken
- Chubby, rosy cheeks
- Flattened bridge of the nose
- Face lacking in expression
The following tests may be done to diagnose Menkes syndrome:
- X-ray of the skull and skeleton to look for abnormalities in bone formation
- Blood tests to measure copper levels
There is no cure for Menkes syndrome. Early treatment with IV copper acetate, oral copper supplements, or injections of copper histidinate may provide temporary benefit. Other treatments may be used to relieve symptoms.
There is no known way to prevent Menkes syndrome. If you have a family history of the disorder, you can talk to a genetic counselor when deciding whether to have children.

So I've been looking for a new Pre/Pro for the past year, and I am happy to say that I am pretty pretty close to pull the trigger on one.
- B&K Reference 70
- Integra DHC-80.1
- Parasound Halo C3 (still not released with promises promises since July 09)
(This has been my choice based on the early promises of Features)
- Marantz AV-8003
- Anthem AVM50 (MSRP price is the highest, so it has
It has been a tedious efforts to look, audition, and research of all these Pre/Pro. At the end, ALL of the above Pre/Pro have its shortcomings, (excluding Halo C3, since it still hasn't been released).
Based on my #1 criteria that has been and always been key, that is audio quality (which B&K REF50S2 has been really good), my choice is Marantz AV-8003. It is a bit outdated, but the Pre/Pro has its toroidal PS that is (perhaps) one of the reasons it has the best SQ.
I'll be offering my REF50S2 here once I received and installed the Marantz.
Look forward to clean up the back of these gears and do the cablings again (NOT).

Hi All. I'll get new pics up soon. One speaker electronically complete. reinstall next and I don't think my low crossover is going to fit back in without the passive radiator hitting it. Think I'll have to remove the two largest caps and mount in the cabinet on the vertical brace like I saw a pic somewhere that someone did. With all your help the mods we relatively easy.
I'm thinking of temporarily leaving one speaker unmodded. You might recall, I've never listened to these speakers before. I'd kind of like to hear the difference. And then mod the other one. That brings me to the need of an external amp.
I'm buying my first external dedicated amplifier for these newly modded SDA SRS 2 set. And I dont think my Onkyo TX-SR505 has the muscle to handle the job. I also have to figure out if it has pre-outs that i can run to an amp, allow that amp to drive the SRS2 set in stereo for music listening... and then for HT, that set would be the fronts and the Onkyo would drive the rest of the surrounds, center, etc. in the HT set up. Does that sound like a good plan?
So along those lines, does anyone have an opinion on a used ATI model AT-1502 amplifier? Decent or junk? For a $500 budget?
Thanks for input.

This week, Gastropost has partnered with the upcoming film The Hundred-Foot Journey and acclaimed Vancouver restaurateur Vikram Vij to bring you inspirations that will whet your appetite for the movie's celebration of Indian and French culinary traditions.

"It's a form of Indian hospitality, it's the Indian way of welcoming people," he says. "You don't just take them to the dining room table." A little wait can help the appetite. When you're making guests feel welcome in your home, this can be a useful insight to keep in mind.

With much research I have decided to buy the LSi15's, LSiC center and soon replace the S-4's I have for rears with still undecided.
Here is my problem, and I hope I can get some feedback and help...
I recieved a Denon AVR-3801 as a gift. This reciever is powering my (old but classic) S-10's in the front, S-4 rear and CS175 center and a Klipsch sub with no problems. I am afraid making the upgrade to the LSi15's and above mentioned will either smoke this 80w @ 8ohm reciever, or it will not allow me to fully show off what great sound the 15's are capible of.
Can anyone give me a educated guess what I should expect...or not expect this Denon to do with these beautiful sounding 15's?

Aside from the Zombies of course. So... Book Zero, at the end of Goodminton, Wanda spake saying she was repatching the Zombies... which was better than wasting the juice entirely. That suggests the answer is: Not much. On the other manipulator, she was a novice Caster who'd never spoken to another Croakamancer, plus the Glossary of Book One describes Croakamancy as being able to reanimate Croaked Units among other things.
So other things... Frogs Croak, so do Ravens and co. Perhaps Croakamancy can be used to summon them? Being able to summon, or perhaps even create, Giant Frogs and flocks of Crows and/or Ravens seems like a good option.
On a similar note, the beasts of battle, Wolves, Eagles and Ravens again, eaters of carrion, there's certainly a connection to be made. What could be more appropriate for Croakamancy then calling forth the eaters of the dead?
Angel Summoning. I joketh not, unleashing the Angel of Croak upon her enemies sounds pretty Wanda-ish.
Then there's just killing in general, Wanda's rather good at that, but mainly seems to use good old fashioned muscle power to do it. She may have a nice line in death spells though. Spells that drain the hits of the enemy to restore her own, that sort of thing.
Golems, Flesh Golems, they may fall under the banner of Croakamancy, if it's possible at all, the same could be said for Bone Golems and the like.
Plague, if it exists in Erfworld, would be a Croakamancy thing likely as not.
Finally, the last thought that occurs are things like 'Faded' Uncroaked (Ghosts obviously) or 'Wrapped' Uncroaked (Mummies), I feel this is actually the least likely, as none of the Uncroaked Warlords that were present at TBfGK appeared to be anything other than yer bog standard Zombie Warlord. On the other appendage, at TBfGK she was facing the Arkenpliers which may well be said to have made the creation of special Uncroaked a bit of a wasted effort.
Wanda hasn't been seen using anything resembling any of this, but she doesn't seem to use magic at all these days tbh. Barring scrolls and equipment of course.
Lacking the 'life' thing doesn't seem a problem as Dirtamancers can create Golems without 'motion'. The 'not being Findamancers' thing doesn't stop Hat Mages from pulling things from their hats. So there's no reason why the 'summons' options should be dismissed out of hand.
Are there any other possibilities?

Protect Yourself Naturally During the Flu Season
There are several natural things you can do to protect yourself from the colds and flu of this winter season besides hand washing.
One way is by getting on an airplane and taking a trip to a sun filled beach. Lying on the beach with the sun flowing over you cures just about anything, but… only in my dreams and someone else's budget.
The following is a link to an article which explores natural steps you can take to protect you and your loved ones from being sick from the flu or a cold during this winter season's current cold spell. The article also mentions my hand washing and the flu vaccine opinions. I have in the past, spent enormous time with the research into the pros and cons of the vaccine. I do not want to take the time now for that discussion but find I do agree with Dr. Mercola's position against the vaccine. I also agree with Dr. Mercola in his position against hand sanitizers. They contain 95% Ethyl Alcohol. I looked it up – that's the kind of Alcohol you drink. Look at the label on the back of the product. Of course, it will not tell you it is the same as a martini but I will. Now this alcohol destroys 99% of everything including good bacteria and your immune system. A recent study even indicates it may not even kill the Flu virus.
Give your immune system a chance use good old warm water and soap to wash your hands. Better yet use good old warm water and toxin free soap made from avocado, coconut, or olive.
Click on this list of suggestions on how to protect yourself from the flu, by re-enforcing your God-given and very capable natural immune system.

My mom volunteered at Nationals with me last year and got to see most of the skaters, even if she didn't recognize any of them. But she adopted Alissa, who she called "my pretty girl" because of how mature, gracious, humble (and yes, pretty ) she was off-ice.
Alissa's short program from the competition this weekend.
She landed a gorgeous triple lutz, double toe combination in the warm-up but had some trouble with the landing of the triple lutz in the actual program. Other than that, she skated a clean program and was gorgeous as usual!

Thank you for the videos everyone! So nice to see Alissa skate again!
After having surgery and being away from the ice for so long, this was really not that bad! She doesn't seem to stalk her jumps as much as last season anymore and her loop and axel looked pretty good. I love the flow of her skating, she is like a feather.
Here is hoping she has a good showing at Nationals. She really deserves it!
What kind of score did she get? There is a calmness, serenity about her skating, in spite of what many seem to think is going on in her head. That is a feat in itself. I am relived. .
^ I watched the video. Bizarre landing on the 3z, kinda landed on 2 feet like she was sticking a gymnastics dismount! But, IDK, it actually seemed to me like she was exuding confidence. the other jumps were like clockwork and I noticed she changed her final combo spin. I like it when skaters change things up. Good for her. Hopefully, we will get a chance to see the LP.
great spins, nice double axel... a bit slow though
Thanks for the video. It is wonderful to see her coming back, after having surgery and all of that time off. I'm looking forward to seeing her at Nationals.
Happy Skating!
This was great to see! A model in courage, Alissa embodies the saying that you never give up--despite the injury, despite being bashed relentlessly in the skating forums, and despite the intimidation of younger skaters moving quickly up in the ranks. I keep my fingers crossed that she makes it to Sochi and skates a fantastic program.
oh be still my heart! So happy to see her out there. I admire her so much. she br8ngs so much to this sport.
DH - and that's just my opinion
Glad to see she's back. That lutz combo was a fail but everything else was pretty good considering. I agree she was rather slow, then again she's never been a fast skater. I would think that might score 54-57 at nationals: URed lutz landed on two feet, slow/tilted landing on loop combo, a bit slow in areas, but the interpretation, choreography and performance were all very good. A clean Ashley will score around 64-67, so there's a sizable gap there...
I don't know how she'll hold up in the LP though. Her axel was good here but her jumps don't look secure yet...
I love her skating. And she seems like such a nice person. Actually watching her makes me so nervous. I want her to do well, so does most of the audience. You could tell that the year she won her first Nationals. The audience was trying so hard to keep her 'up' after the first error
^^ She didn't need the audience. The judges kept her up that year
yea!! Im glad to see her doing relatively well after her surgery. Hopefully she is pain free, does well in the Long Program & keep up the good work at Nationals
