Production is now under way for Clarion University's next theatrical performance, William Shakespeare's "All's Well that Ends Well," which begins Nov. 14.
Directed by theatre professor Robert Bullington, the play tells the story of the young commoner Helena, played by senior Katie Forsgren, Erie, who is in love with the conceited nobleman, Bertram, played by senior Nic Barilar, Rossiter. Despite Bertram's disinterest, Helena persists throughout the play in trying to win him over.
"All's Well" is Bullington's eighth Shakespeare production at Clarion, and he feels he's going back to his roots.
"I started out doing the (plays) that people haven't seen," Bullington said. "The last three have been, arguably, Shakespeare's most popular—'Romeo and Juliet,' 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and 'Macbeth'—and not that many people know this one. That's part of the reason we're doing it."
Bullington also mentioned that "All's Well" includes a number of good parts for women, a rarity in early-17th-century theatre.
Among others, "All's Well" addresses themes of unrequited love, defying authority, truth and honor.
"There are barriers with Shakespeare," Bullington said. Most important, he said, is the language barrier. "Only Shakespeare scholars will understand every word being said, but if (a Shakespeare play) is acted well, the audience always knows what's going on."
Bullington includes a short plot summary in each night's program. "It's not cheating to come in at 8:45 and read the synopsis," he said, encouraging students of all backgrounds and levels of Shakespearean experience to attend the show. "These are 400-year-old plays that we still do. It's part of our history. It's who we are."
The play will be staged in a "thrust" configuration, with the audience surrounding the action on three sides. As Bullington noted, this setup allows for more audience interaction.
"The idea of (the audience) being in the dark — pretending they're not there — is a new idea," Bullington said. When this play was originally performed, he said, "the audience would have played a big role."
Theatre professor Ed Powers is in charge of the play's scenic design. Though written in the early 1600s, the design team is applying a "Romance era" look to the production. "We're borrowing — because that's what we do in theatre, we borrow — from painters, architects and the wardrobe of about 1820 to 1835," Powers said.
Powers looks to make Clarion's "All's Well" into a more classical Shakespearean production. Instead of changing backdrops to establish different scenes, the production team will rely on lighting and set pieces to tell the play's story. Kendyl Yarzabek, Warren, Pa., is the show's lighting designer, in charge of distinguishing one scene from the next by highlighting different parts of the stage and blacking out others.
The play's romantic look was suggested by theatre faculty member Myra Bullington, who serves as the show's costume designer. Taking the show out of its Elizabethan era, "we have to be careful that the period supports the ideas inherent in the text, not detracting from them," Bullington said. "There's a very wistful quality to the clothes of (the Romance era) ... and the play has a wistful quality, as well." Bullington also noted that, historically speaking, the decade in which the play is now set was fairly uneventful.
"All's Well that Ends Well," runs Nov. 14-18 in the Marwick-Boyd Little Theatre. The evening performances begin at 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, with Sunday's matinee beginning at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults, $9 for children and free for students with a Clarion University ID. Tickets can be purchased online or via telephone at 814-393-ARTS.
In addition to Forsgren and Barilar, the cast includes: Maggie McWade, Fleming, as the Countess of Rossillion; Jared LoAlbo, Verona, as Parolles; Christian Ryan, Lansdale, as LaVatch (the fool); Clarion University English professor Ralph Leary as the King of France; Rob Milanich, Rockville, Md., as Lafew; Jack O'Keeffe, Clifton Heights, as Captain Dumaine; Matt Catledge, Philadelphia, as First Soldier; Jordan Rembold, Franklin, as Second Solider/Steward; Becca Sears, Damascus, Md., as the Widow; Marie Karcher, Allison Park, as Diana; Arielle Fodor, Latrobe, as Mariana/French Lady.
Understudies include: Chloe Saccol, Johnstown; Kaylee Scritchfield, Peckville; and Allyson Watt, Pittsburgh.
Leading the play's technical team are: Megan Bodish, Bridgeville, stage manager; Powers, scene design; Bullington, costume design; Yarzabek; Hank Bullington, Clarion, properties design; and John Dumpman, York, sound design.
Clarion University is the high-achieving, nationally recognized, comprehensive university that delivers a personal and challenging academic experience.

Sony- The DSLR Punk that will change everything.
Say that in photography circles and you're sure to start a rabble. I fondly remember my CD Mavica, which worked about 1% of the time and had horrendous performance. Or that camcorder that stopped working after 2 sessions due to a hard drive parking issue. I swore for years to never buy a Sony when I was older.
I'm 21 now, and after a day out at Best Buy, I spotted an A65 sitting in the open box container with a sticker asking for $600. My Canon DSLR recently crapped out on me after a girl at the club decided to soak test it with a pitcher full of Hennesy. So I plucked it out the container, toyed with it for a few moments while the representative there gave me a brief overview of the specs. I knew that I could return it if I didn't like it, so I took her home.
Naturally, she's still in my possession. Without a doubt, this is the finest camera I've owned, and beats the pants off of almost every camera that I've tried against it, full-frame and medium format notwithstanding.
Being a college student meant that I had budgets to maintain, so I've only recently acquired my first lens, the SAL35F18 (35mm f/1.8 prime) and the HVL-F43 flash.
The Future
Sony is taking on the Canikon circles by indirectly competing with them. Sony offers superior image quality, but the biggest offering on their part is the lowly, and controversial EVF.
Having grown up with rangefinders and OVF's, I was skeptical at first. I immediately complained about the noisy EVF that had a lot of grain in low light. However, everything for me changed when I sat down, set the camera up to my personal tastes (RAW), moved the dial to "M" and realized my shutter speed was too fast. As I dialed back the speed, my EVF got brighter. Ok, that's a cool trick. I took the shot, and to my surprise, the image looked exactly the same on the screen as it did in the EVF. So I tried adjusting my white balance. What I saw in the viewfinder was what I got.
What makes my images consistently better than my fellow camera enthusiasts at my school is not the fact that I have a really high resolution sensor, or a newer camera; it's consistency. Having an EVF allows me to make every shot come out RIGHT. My white balances are always spot on, and when I shoot, I always leave the histogram on. I get to see immediately whether I should bump the exposure down or up, even if what I'm seeing looks good, because I know that in post, I'll have the most amount of data to work with.
Sony is shaping the future of DSLR's with the strong adoption of the EVF. If Sony can increase the resolutions, ensure color accuracy is maintained AND push features like focus peaking harder and more accurate, Canon and Nikon could very well find themselves facing stiff competition. I spent a day with the A99 while my partner was borrowing the 1DX, and the irony of the whole shoot was that time and time again, the A99 shots came out more consistent.

Executive Summary
Key Energy Services, Inc. is one of the largest rig-based well service companies in United States. The company provides oilfield services including well servicing, pressure pumping, fishing and rental tools, electric wireline and other oilfield services. To pull together a company-wide view of the business, each field office had to send batches of data over dial-up connections - a slow and error-prone procedure.

On Friday's edition of Reel Reviews, FOX 2 and Metro Times film critic Corey Hall held back no punches on Adam Sandler's 'Grown Ups 2.' In summary, Hall called the sequel a bad, bad movie that's just an excuse for bad gags and typical cameos.Click the video player to Hall's rant, or read it below:LT: Talk about 'Grown Ups 2,' which I did not see.CH: Aren't you the lucky one. Adam Sandler apparently has to keep all of these people in show business who would otherwise not have jobs.LT: The first one made $162 million, Corey.CH: Yeah, it really did and apparently people don't have a lot of discerning ability. Everybody's back except Rob Schneider because apparently he got lucky. You got Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Taylor Lautner. He's the bad the guy.. This thing is lazy. It's repetitive. It's lame. They put no effort into it. The first one made a lot of money. This is actually the first sequel Adam Sandler's ever done, which is kind of interesting, but he makes basically the same movie every time over and over again so why bother with sequels?LT: Will this one make money?CH: Oh, it'll make money. But it doesn't deserve to. It's really terrible. It's lame, unfunny.. what else can I say? It's a bad, bad movie. It's not good at all. It's not a credit sheet, it's a rap sheet if you're in the credits for this thing. Every cameo in the world.. pretty much everyone who was on SNL in the 90s shows up. Ellen Cleghorne shows up. Ellen Cleghorne?!? Where'd they dig her up from? Cheri Oteri, they all show up for cameos... It looks like they had a lot of fun making the movie. I didn't have any fun watching the movie. None of the jokes work. It's just tired.LT: So, did you like 'Grown Ups'?CH: No. But, Adam Sandler doesn't make movies for critics. He makes movies for the public. Some people enjoy them. We don't. Critics don't..ya know, people who like scripts. This movie has almost no plot. At least the first one had a plot. This one is just an excuse for bad gags. At one point, David Spade is rolling down a hill in a tire and says, "When will it stop?" And I asked the same question: When will it stop, Sandler? You gotta try. Put an effort in. Care about your movies. But he doesn't because he makes mountains of money. LT: And he'll probably make mountains on this one too.CH: Yeah.LT: So, I'm guessing it's a 'no-go' on 'Grown Ups 2'?CH: Definite no on 'Grown Ups 2.'
Later in the show, Sandler appeared via satellite and joked: "Whoever wrote those bad reviews in your town, shame on you, I'm gonna get you!"

Former Crystal Palace and England legend Kenny Sansom cleared of assault
Updated 5:18pm Friday 7th February 2014 in News
Former Crystal Palace legend Kenny Sansom was cleared of assault at Bromley Magistrates' Court today and said he was "relieved it's over".
The ex-footballer, of Bostall Road in Orpington, had been charged with assaulting his on-off partner Denise Mullins at her home in Hastings Road, Bromley, late last year.
However, after first reporting the incident to police on November 22 she withdrew her statement in January and didn't attend court.
Mr Sansom, who also made 86 appearances for England and played in two World Cups, said after the case had been dismissed: "I'm relieved. It's been a long time to wait.
"No one turned up. I haven't got the pressure of the court case on me anymore."
The 55-year-old, who denied a charge of assault by beating, also mentioned his "recovery is going well" after revealing he'd been struggling with drinking problems.
At the trial the court heard how Mr Sansom was said to have been drunk on November 21 and was kept overnight at Princess Royal University Hospital (PRUH).
It was reported Ms Mullins had been told of his condition and when she went to collect him at around 6.30am the next morning decided he was too intoxicated and driven home alone.
Prosecution barrister Afolake Jaja said a few hours later Mr Sansom had "banged on the door and windows" before barging into Ms Mullins' property.
It was said he changed his clothes before telling his partner "I really want to hit you" and pushing her in the chest after she refused to get his coat. But the case was closed not an hour into the trial and Mr Sansom cleared of all wrongdoing.
Chairman of magistrates Ivor Barwin announced the decision at around noon and Mr Sansom was smiling as he left the court room.
Proclaimed as one of Crystal Palace's finest youth players, he featured for the south London club 172 times and has now taken to working out at events at the club.
He said he's looking forward to watching the side play West Bromwich Albion at Selhurst Park tomorrow and added: "I'm going to be at Palace – they're a great club. I'm looking forward to the game."

WOBURN (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) – A Woburn business that specializes in the manufacturing of photonic components and systems, including infrared detectors and other optical devices, was raided by federal agents on Wednesday.
U.S. Attorney Christina Sperling told FOX 25 that federal agents executed a search warrant at Agiltron Incorporated located at 15 Presidential Way around 8 a.m.
Sperling said the search is not a threat to the public.
Federal agents are gathering evidence and should complete the search by the end of the day.
Sperling said that the search warrant is sealed and that information regarding the raid will not be made public for "a while." However, she did say that the IRS is not involved.
According to the company's website, Agiltron Incorporated leads the market in all optical switches, variable optical attenuators, high power optical components, optical polarization and time controls, infrared detectors, molded infrared lenses, and Raman spectrometer.
These products, which are protected by over 40 issued or pending US patents, are used by a wide range of industries, including Datacom, Telecom, Aerospace, Instrumentation, and R&D.
The company has over 100 employees.

CATEGORIES Drama, Thrillers, Deals, Noir, Mystery & Suspense, Scripts, Newsstand, Movies, CinematicalIf there's one movie descriptive that can actually get my jaded heart racing, it's "in the style of L.A. Confidential." Sure, it's glib, and probably sells the potential film and its source material short, but I can't help it, it's a magical phrase. And The Hollywood Reporter (by way of Lakeshore Entertainment) used it to describe Barry Levinson's latest movie.
Levinson is set to direct an adaptation of Peter Dexter's novel Train, a story set in 1950's Southern California. It centers around Miller Packard, a white sergeant in the San Diego Police Department, who has little time for the hypocrisy and racism of his age. An avid golfer, he befriends a troubled young African-American caddy named Lionel "Train" Walk, who harbors knowledge of an unreported murder that haunts his past. The city politics and racism of the 50's surround the murder investigation, and threaten their friendship.
Dexter's books have been popular in Hollywood recently -- he was the pen behind Mulholland Falls and The Paperboy is currently in production with Paul Verhoven and Jan de Bont. Unlike with Falls, he won't be penning the script this time around. That job falls to Allison Burnett, who's a pretty popular writer at Lakeshore, adapting Fame and penning Untraceable for them.
Hopefully, a Cinematical reader or two can chime in on the book. From its reviews, the source material sounds pretty enticing. Here's hoping this can not only be a comeback for Levinson, but a noir rival for L.A. Confidential.

Droid X Is My Favorite Phone Of All Time!
by ThomasMatte on March 11, 2011
Pros: + X-tra large screen is beautiful
+ Web browsing on the big screen is a great experience
+ HD Video recording capability is super great.
+ Battery life pretty good
+ FM Radio pretty good
+ V Cast compatible
+ All of standard Android functionality
Cons: - Doesn't have Send or End buttons
- Motorola has locked/encrypted the boot loader on the DX
- Haven't tried the camera much yet
- Physical buttons aren't that great

Summary: I've own many of the Verizon Wireless (VZW) smart phones including the Treo, Moto Q, XV6700, Saga, Omnia, Touch Pro, Blackberry Curve, Storm1, Tour, etc. I also owned the first Droid (D1) and thought at the time it was the best VZW phone I've ever owned. Well, Droid X (DX) has changed all of that. The DX is now my favorite phone of all time. But is it actually "better" than the D1?!?!?!? Check out my review.
- The DX's X-tra large screen is beautiful. The touch interface is very responsive. I feels like a powerful computer in your pocket.
- DX is big but I don't think it's too big. I could actually "do" a 5 inch phone if VZW ever sold one. I use the DX one handed but I have big hands. ;-) YMMV, however.
- The screen size also makes typing on the screen easier. I usually hate virtual keyboards but I like this one.
- Web browsing on the big screen is a great experience. I can see myself not using my iPad as much now (I would take it along to the barber, doctor's office, etc.). When the DX gets Flash support, the iPad might be going to eBay. :)
- HD Video recording capability is super great.
- I actually like the new version of Moto Blur. The re-sizable widgets are cool. Plus you can remove anything you don't want to use. I guess this wasn't the case with the original Moto Blur. They just need to add a "close" button (or swipe to close) to the widgets so I don't have to reach down for the back button.
- Battery life seems pretty good, much better than the Incredible.
- FM Radio is actually pretty good.
- DLNA support will allow you to browse media stored on your computers, wirelessly.
- The DX is V Cast compatible.
- The DX has all of the standard Android functionality including the best, free voice activated GPS known to man. Need directions to "123 Main Street"? Simply press the search button and say, "Navigate to 123 Main Street". Want to know where the closest Pizza place is? Say, "Map of Pizza". Google voice navigation is unbelievably good.
- The DX includes full Microsoft Exchange support. I'm not sure if it includes remote wipe or other security features that were missing from the initial D1 release.
- I usually prefer physical buttons but the ones on the DX aren't that great. They feel cheap. Plus they are all the same height so you can't easily press the button you want without looking at the device. This takes away one of the biggest advantages of having buttons.
- Like many smart phones these days, DX doesn't have Send or End buttons. I don't understand why companies make PHONES that don't include buttons for starting and ending a PHONE call!
- Unlike D1, the DX power button is in the middle-top of the phone. This probably helps out the lefties (the D1 power button is on the top-right). However, I don't like the extra reach for the power button. I'm already reaching over a much larger device.
- Motorola has locked/encrypted the boot loader on the DX. Thus, it will be harder or impossible for third party developers to create custom roms for the DX. I think this is a mistake. Custom roms is one of the biggest reasons why the D1 was so popular. The d1 put Android on the map.
- The syncing software that comes with DX is nothing to write home about. Syncing music, photos, and video to Android phones still remain a hassle. Google needs to develop something like iTunes ASAP. I read that they are working on a music service though...
- I find it hard to put the DX in its desktop doc.
I think the Droid X is best stock VZW phone available. Its big screen makes it really a computer in your pocket. The HD video recording capability is great. DLNA support is great. I didn't even know an FM radio was included- nice! Battery life so far has been really good, especially considering its big screen. The DX offers just about anything you need in a phone sans the front facing camera. This one device may replace a standalone mp3 player, gps, camera, camcorder, netbook, and possibly, an iPad. The Droid X simply does it all.
Is it the best Android phone on any carrier? I haven't used the EVO so I can't say which I would like more. VZW's voice network and customer service are better than Sprint's so the EVO loses in that respect. The Incredible was crippled with poor battery life so that's a no-contest. The only real, current competition is a hacked Droid 1, if you care about hacking your phone. I personally don't care about custom roms. For these reasons, I think the DX is the best Android phone to date. However, the current champ may lose its belt to one of the many great phones that are coming out soon. But at the end of the day, the real winner is the Consumer. There will be many great devices to pick from and that's always a good thing.

Traded Droid Incredible for X.
by albickers on July 15, 2010
Pros: Big screen=less eyestrain & easier typing
Swype built in (easy text entry once you get used to it)
Nice feel in hand, solid build
Dedicated camera button
Cons: User Interface not as polished as HTC Sense
Software sometimes buggy
Slightly big for pocket
Screen not as responsive as Incredible
Summary: I used an iPhone 3G, upgraded to the Incredible a little less than a month ago, then switched to the Droid X. All great phones. Here, I'll focus on ...
Summary: I used an iPhone 3G, upgraded to the Incredible a little less than a month ago, then switched to the Droid X. All great phones. Here, I'll focus on the X vs. Incredible.
Short version: The Inc has a nicer screen for indoor use, and the software and user interface is more polished with more built-in features. The X has a more versatile screen and is obviously bigger. Otherwise, there is no clear choice between the two--you would have to make tradeoffs as outlined below:
User Interface: The X's UI is not as polished as the Inc's. But, this is a matter of personal preference (I prefer the look of the X widgets since they aren't as visually heavy, but they also aren't as functional). Some other UI/OS differences:
*The X phone dialer is not as nice--with the Inc., you can just dial the first few digits corresponding to a name in your address book.
*Voice control is easier on the X. Hold home then say a command (this makes up for the dialer)
*No option to reduce ringer volume when picking up the phone as with Inc. Inc. has option to leave phone upside down on a desk--incoming calls will then cause one beep. With the X, turn the phone over to silence the ringer (but it rings if it's already face-down).
*The HTC mail widget is worth a separate mention: it allows you to easily scroll through messages without opening the mail app. I found it useful as a way to catch up between meetings. No such widget is on the X.
Look and Feel: The X isn't really as big as you might think. I am a big guy, and it is nice to find a phone that is the right size for me. Relative to the Incredible, I like that the camera lens doesn't protrude from the back, and that the phone feels thinner. It does fit better in my hand, and the big screen makes everything from typing to reading easier. Those with younger eyes and smaller fingers might prefer the opposite. The X seems to be made of plastic despite reports that it is made of metal, but it does feel solid.
Joystick: The Incredible has a joystick, the X doesn't. It was helpful when editing text--no need point my fat finger in between letters to insert, I could just scroll the joystick.
Keyboards: X comes the Swipe kb built-in, plus a multitouch version of the stock Android KB.No clear winner here (I'm sure you can eventually get Swipe for the Inc).
Browser: The Sense browser is nicer. It is smart about re-wrapping text when you zoom in and out, and double-tapping usually zooms in where you want. The X browser doesn't re-wrap the text as well, and you will often find yourself using horizontal scrolling. No cut-and-paste in the X browser as with the Inc. I think you can open more tabs, but I'd have to confirm this.
Android 2.2: It is worth mentioning that the X will (per Motorola) get the Android 2.2 update in August. The Droid Inc. will get it sometime before the end of the year (per HTC). 2.2 is rumored to increase speed, among other things. But neither phone has it NOW, so who knows.
Screen: The X has an LCD, no real surprises: it is passable in most light levels. The Incredible's AMOLED screen was wonderful under medium to low light (very good color contrast), but too washed out under bright light. Again, it is a trade off--do you prefer a great indoor screen, or a good all-purpose screen? (Note: the Inc IS usable under bright light, but barely).
Camera: The X has a dedicated physical camera button, making it quicker to open the camera and take a pic. However, the Incredible has tap-to-focus. The X does do 720p HD video recording and there is a noise cancelling mic for video recording. (Rumor: Inc will get 720p in a software update soon)
Phone: The X's dialer isn't as feature rich (see above). I've made several test calls: on the Inc, the people I call reported that my voice was "tinny". The same people report great call quality with the X, perhaps because of the noise cancelling mic. (not present on the Inc). However, I found the earpiece speaker on the Inc. to be clearer and louder.
Reception: reception is good. Note that you can't compare reception by using the "bars"--you need to look at the db reading. On the inc, go to settings->about->network, on the X go to settings->about->status (better values are closer to zero). The X gets consistently better values than the Inc did in the same spots (but, that can vary from day-to-day, so this isn't conclusive). The X is getting a stronger signal than my dad's Moto Droid in side-by-side tests (~5dBm on average!), whereas the Moto Droid beat the Inc in side-by-side tests (about 2dBm on average). I don't know if this translates into any real-world benefit, and it could have more to do with my local conditions/towers. The speedtest.net app shows similar 3g bandwidth and Wifi bandwidth to the Inc. The X gets faster WiFi downloads than the Moto Droid in side-by-side tests (both seem to limit upload to about 2mbps).

For me personally, It was either this or the iPhone...
by D-pants on July 16, 2010
Pros: A powerhouse of everything mobile!
Cons: - Battery can't keep up with your need to constantly fiddle with this thing.
- Choose the incredible or the iPhone if your hands are on the smaller side.

Summary: I usually am the one reading the reviews to make my decisions and leave it at that, but I felt compelled to put it out there that this is without a doubt "the real deal," "the big boy," "the head honcho" of cell phones right now.
- Lightning Fast with the Ti processor
- Fantastic call quality
- Big beautiful screen
- Feels light, despite its size and fits nicely in your pocket (I suggest getting the glossy phone protector so you dont pull out a pocket sock everytime you answer your phone.)
- Chalked full of endless app options
- Great touch sensitivity
- Roomy keyboard and perfect those with larger meat hooks.
- I was iffy about the Camera housing that bumps out of the bottom of the phone, but it actually makes the phone feel more comfortable to hold.
::Bottom, Bottom Line::
It took the consumer reports denial of the iPhone and about 10 minutes of playing around with the DroidX to push me over the Iphone/droid fence that I've been walking along for the past year. I know that boasting one phone over the other is like discussing religion and politcs at the dinner table now a days, but if you are caught in the middle of the fire fight, do yourself a favor and nerd out with the droid for a while.

After two days: I love it
by davidgarth on July 16, 2010
Pros: Screen size
Screen quality
Call quality
Cons: Battery life (is it ever good enough?)

Summary: I have come from a two year experience with a BlackBerry Curve. Unlike many smartphone users, I'm a businesses user with heavy email needs. The BlackBerry was fine for email, but weak on calendar and Internet and the apps are sadly lacking. I liked the BB keyboard, and was cautious about moving to a phone without one.
I have an iPad that I love. I had tried out the original Moto Droid, but the slide-out keyboard was useless with my big thumbs.
So far, the Droid X seems to be the perfect phone for me. The big screen size and excellent resolution are perfect for my aging eyes. The larger screen also helps makes the on-screen keyboard larger and easier to operate with large thumbs. Only the keyboard in landscape mode is usable for me. I do wish that the screen was a little brighter for outdoor use.(I couldn't use the Incredible at all in sunshine.)
The overall large size of the phone isn't a problem.for me. The processor handles the screen and all processes beautifully.
I'm a professional photographer, so it's hard for me to praise any smartphone camera. The Droid X has one of the better ones, but it doesn't do as well as an average digital point-and-shoot. But, it's nice to have a camera of this quality with you at all times.
I think the battery will make it through a typical work day for me, but without much to spare. It charges very quickly, however.
Here's my analysis of Android 2.1: It isn't quite as polished as iOS on the iPhone. But it is much more customizable. If you think it's fun to tinker with the interface, you'll be able to build a phone that's really customized for your preferences and the way you use your phone. My me, it was worthwhile and enjoyable. So far, the Android Market is somewhat behind the Apple iTunes App store in both quality and quantity of apps, but it's improving quickly and many developers are flocking to this operating system.
Overall, I'm very happy I made this transition.

Unbelievable phone

Summary: This phone is awsome. Obviously I have only had it for a little over a day, but it blows every phone I have handled out of the water. The only phone that comes close is the iphone 4 because of the screen resolution, that said this screen is larger so you can see the pages better anyways. I also love swipe, it is very intuitive and easy to use. Another plus is that there are more free apps than are offered through itunes. I have not yet tried loading music on to it. Hope this helps.

Summary: The thing is if you have been admiring T-Mobiles HTC HD2 and HD7 or maybe you had your eye on Sprint's HTC EVO,but didnt want to leave Verizon, you now have an option, this thing is a Multimedia Beast, but the large screen size can be used for other things to name, *Navigation, *Movies, *Web Browsing, but business users also have something here they can admire, if you download the quickoffice app's, then you can easily view Office documents the extra screen size helps you edit easier, Other than The Droid X had no trouble with handling 3 email accounts of mine, and Facebook and Twitter ,Also if you are a hardcore gamer the screen size makes it easy to whittle the hours away while playing games, but putting all that aside,The Droid X can Do lots of stuff, and the main anlogy i found fot it was, that is EVO OR HD2 and HD7 or Verizon.

Mini-HDMI to HDMI
Large, Colorful Sharp Display
Highly Responsive Touch Screen
720p HD video
8 mp camera
Great on-screen keyboard/swype
Email account notifications
Wi-Fi Capable

Summary: Right off - I do not have experience with any other smart phone with which to compare the Droid X. I have been waiting to make the switch from a basic LG cell phone to a smartphone, and the Droid X was the one to do it for me. I wanted the large, clean display, the higher mp camera and the HDMI capability, but I got so much more in the Droid X. I didn't even realize it had the voice to text for web searches, navigation and writing emails - saving time typing out website addresses, etc. And that feature has been incredibly accurate (and good for a chuckle when it?s not).
Before this I had never used an on-screen keyboard, but found both the traditional qwerty and the innovative Swype to be very easy to use with my large fingers, and there was hardly a learning curve involved.
I find it amazing that it seems to ?know? which hyperlink I want on a non-mobile webpage when many are right next to each other -- but it is very accurate.
Regarding the battery life, I haven't had it long enough to really make a judgement call. I do recommend that you keep it on the charger longer than you think may be required the first couple of times, after fully discharging the battery each time, as I believe it will help the battery's "memory" for holding a charge longer. Others may want to correct me if thistechnique is faulty. As others have posted, be sure to manually shut down apps you aren't readily using, as this can eat up your battery charge.
I'm not crazy about the computerized voice announcing my incoming calls - I would much prefer to tie my own recording of my contacts' names as I did with my old LG. Perhaps there is a way of doing this by recording an MP3 and transferring it. I just need to explore a little more. I do plan to create my own general ringtone in just this way.
It appears my camera is taking pics at 6 mps only, but none seem to be sharp enough. I installed a free P***shop app, and plan to use it to try and improve the results. Let's face it, you should carry a good camera with you if you want high quality shots -- this is just a cool feature - along with the video capability -- to have with you at all times.
Another tip - as you select different functions when you first get the Droid X, check out the menu screen for additional functions which can really expand the way you use it.
It's a dream to not have to consistently go to the internet to check for new mail in my various email accounts. The notification bar at the top is terrific - just a few seconds and I can access my new mail.
Some of the screens just look untechy/unattractive to me - such as the settings scroll page - but this is such a little gripe.
I'm not very tech savvy, but have found the UI of the Android OS quite intuitive and not frustrating to get the hang of.
My home page now has everything I want on it without using any of the other screens - though it's great that there's "room to grow" as I discover other uses/apps.
I carry a very, very small purse - and was afraid that the Droid X might be too heavy or bulky -- but it slid right in with no noticeable weight difference. I didn?t find the camera protrusion on the back to be any kind of a problem at all.
When using it as a phone, I do find the large, boxy shape to be somewhat uncomfortable, but it?s OK. I prefer to have the large graphic display for all of its many other uses.
I?m concerned about protecting the screen, and will be looking for tips on the best case for protection while still being able to use the device.
Like others - I just can't put it down. Love the Droid X.

The Philadelphia Eagles have fired head coach Andy Reid, according to Reuben Frank of Comcast Sports Philadelphia. The news does not come as a surprise, as the Eagles have missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons after assembling a self-proclaimed "Dream Team" of talented players on both sides of the ball. Philadelphia finished with a disappointing 4-12 record this year, after a strong finish to 2011 left some hope.
Two sources confirmed Lurie has told Andy he's going in a different direction. Andy Reid is out as Eagles head coach.— Reuben Frank (@RoobCSN) December 30, 2012
A subsequent report said that owner Jeff Lurie will officially announce the news at a Monday press conference.
Source: Lurie will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce the firing of Andy Reid. #Eagles— Scott Ciglinsky (@ScottCiglinsky) December 30, 2012
Reid's final years in Philadelphia were tumultuous, but many will remember when he made the Eagles a dominant force in the NFC with quarterback Donovan McNabb at the helm. Reid guided the franchise to four-straight trips to the conference championship game, culminating in a trip to Super Bowl 39 and a narrow loss to the New England Patriots.
Follow @sbnation | Like SB Nation on Facebook | Subscribe to SB Nation YouTube
After 14 seasons in Philadelphia that made him the longest-tenured coach in the NFL before his firing, Reid leaves with a 130-93 record. He won six division titles in total, and reached the NFC championship game five times, four of which were losses.
This likely isn't the last the NFL will see of Andy Reid. There will surely be some teams willing to hire a coach with a long track record of winning.

Spotlight On Business: Great times for kids at Island Time
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 20 November 2013 20:12
- Written by Super User
Last Friday kids from Island Time's after school program visited Fort Fisher for a shell hunt!
By: Candace Lookingbill
Staff Writer
Island Time Drop-n-Play is open year round, and is the solution for flexible child care. When you need day care for your children they are there to help you out without the financial obligation. Something new that is being tried is Second Saturday Shuttle, where you can drop off your children to play and they will bring them home. Parents will have that day to do what they want to do and they will bring the children home for you. You must prepay for the visit, and expect your children home between 9:30 – 10 p.m. The shuttle will only run on the island. The center is going to try this for the next several months on the second Saturday of each month so parents can plan according.
The center is a great idea for holiday parties. If groups or organizations need a child friendly place to host a party – they are perfect, that is right, it does not just have to be a birthday party. They are offering building rental. They are also offering corporate rates for business wishing to offer their staff child care for their special events or company parties this holiday season.
For the national Shop Small and Local Small Business Saturday, Nov. 30 Island Time will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. so that parents can go shop local for this event. Then, on Sunday, Dec. 1 from noon until 4 p.m. the center will have a Santa's workshop for the children, while parents shop, the children will be making gifts for family. Plus, it will be $1 off the regular per hour rate for this weekend.
They have not forgotten Santa either! Santa will be visiting Island Time on Sunday, Dec. 15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a toy drive. Portraits will be taken by Dana Jackson Photography and you will receive one free digital image per family for your toy donation. There will also be lots of new holiday books available. The donated toys will be given to Carolina Beach Fire Department. A portrait is a great Christmas gift idea plus you will be helping others to have a great Christmas.
The care is for children from 1 to 12 years old and the center is open six days a week. There is no registration fee, but, the parent does need to register their child, so the staff is able to know your child and what you child may need while there. Then once the registration is complete it stays in the system and all they have to do is pull up the information when you bring your child back in.
They offer many fun activities, there is a toddler area, dramatic play area with a stage, role play center, a snack/craft center to name a few, there is something for every child to enjoy and entertain themselves while they are there.
Island Time offers an after-school program, and they will pick up at Carolina Beach Elementary and take the children to supervised play. Remember when school is closed during the holidays and during the summer the child can stay longer. Prices are very reasonable and they offer a prepayment bonus which is when families put $50 or more on their family account the center will upgrade by 20 percent, so at least $10 is free. Island Time Drop-n-Play is at 1140-D N. Lake Park Blvd., Carolina Beach, they are open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and 4-10 p.m. Saturday. Visit the website at islandtimeplay.com for more details or to register, or call 910-458-4FUN (4386). Like them on Facebook to keep abreast of all the fun things that they are planning to keep your children entertained. They are always working to make the stay for your children fun and entertaining.

A West End restaurant manager is in trouble after employees say he terrified the staff when he came out with an ax!
It's the last thing you expect to see when you go out to dinner, but employees say that's exactly what happened at Skillagalee Seafood Restaurant on Glenside Drive.
Edward Freeman Jr., the manager, was arrested in the middle of dinner. He is now out of jail, released on his own recognizance. But he is charged with assault because he's accused of attacking an employee.
NBC12 was able to talk to the restaurant owners, who are also Freeman's parents.
Police tell NBC12 they were called to the seafood restaurant right in the middle of dinner around 6:45 p.m. on Thursday because employees told them the manager had lost control.
Employees tell NBC12 Freeman started threatening people and swearing, then thing got really scary. They were too afraid to go on camera, but say during Freeman's outburst he grabbed an ax and started banging it against a wall! Then they say he threatened one of the women working there. Police tell us he grabbed her arm.
Officers were called and the restaurant was forced to close for the night.
When a news crew went to the restaurant, a man identifying himself as the head chef answered the door. He said he had not heard of any other incidents involving Freeman.
A short time later, the owners arrived. They said they're Freeman's parents and his stepfather has owned Skillagalee for more than 40 years.
His family tells NBC12 Freeman has diabetes and sometimes suffers from low blood sugar. They say that could explain his scary outburst.
The assault charge is a misdemeanor. Freeman's next court date is in March.
An employee at Skillagalee Seafood Restaurant said Freeman was not working Friday night.

New York, NY (AP) - The Southeastern Conference isn't No. 1 in one category: revenues. Forbes released a list Wednesday of the estimated annual revenues for the top conferences in college sports. The SEC, boasting the reigning national champions in football and men's basketball, is fourth. But that will likely change soon, because most of the money comes from television deals, and the SEC is renegotiating its contracts after expansion. The Big Ten is No. 1 with revenues of $310 million - $250 million of that coming from TV. The Pacific-12 is second at $303 million and the Atlantic Coast Conference third at $293 million. The SEC had revenues of $270 million. Forbes' financial data came from the NCAA, BCS, conferences, news reports and estimates.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Several Public Interest groups say that your pictures could start showing up on Facebook ads.
These groups have asked the Federal Trade Commission to block upcoming changes to Facebook's privacy policies. They claim it will be easier for Facebook to use your information and pictures without your consent.
Facebook says the language of its polices make it clear you are granting the site permission to use your information when you use its services. The site said the updated policy was in response to a recent $20 million class-action settlement over its privacy protections.
Facebook says its ad practices have not changed and that the new privacy policy only clarifies what it does with user information.

Would you tolerate more advertising in the city if it meant convenient recycling receptacles on city sidewalks?
That's what proposed Wednesday at this week's meeting.
Arroyo said he recently visited Chicago, where he found recycling bins positioned with street trash cans. Upon further investigation, he said, he found out that the bins were provided and cleaned by a private company at no cost to the city. In exchange, the company places family-friendly advertising on the bins.
He called it a "no brainer" to bring this kind of program to Boston — whether it be with the company that operates in Chicago or with another firm.
The council supported the idea, which has been referred to committee, but it also brought back an old discussion.
, who had previously suggested that the city should raise funds by placing advertising on city websites, needs to "respectfully harness the power of advertising."
Consalvo repeated his assertion that doing so could bring into the city's general fund.
Other business:
The council approved the acceptance of $23 million in funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to be used for housing-related needs, including $16 million for community development block grants.
Consalvo noted that the $16 million number represented a 9 percent decrease from the department's previous year funding, and a 50 percent decrease in its annual funding since 1975.
The council was also visited by Red Sox President and CEO Larry Lucchino, who the council for declaring in Boston.

From 2003 to 2007, Coffin had been the Director of Athletics at The MacDuffie School in Springfield. He directed all aspects of the athletic department, including planning, organizing, scheduling, budgeting, hiring, and evaluation of 15 coaches. In addition, he coached varsity boys' basketball, middle school boys' soccer, JV boys' basketball, and varsity boys' tennis at MacDuffie.
From 2001 to 2003, Coffin taught physical education and health to students in grades K-10 in the Hatfield Public Schools in Hatfield, Mass. He also coached varsity girls' soccer to a league title in the first year of the team's existence.
From 1993 to 1999, he was the Director of Athletics at the Calverton School in Huntingtown, Maryland. While there, he was also the Physical Education Chair, and coached varsity soccer, varsity boys' basketball, and implemented varsity co-ed tennis.

Feds say river cleanup in Lyndhurst fails to deliver
A cutting-edge plan that was supposed to help rid the Passaic River of 150 years of contamination has failed — a setback for the long-awaited cleanup of one of the nation's most polluted rivers, officials said.
Federal environmental officials thought a process called sediment washing was an ideal way to remove cancer-causing dioxin and other pollution from the mud in the river. The method — in which non-hazardous chemicals and high-pressure water destroy pollutants — was touted as a cheaper and more environmentally friendly solution than burying the contaminated sediment in a landfill or incinerating it.
Officials had hoped to use the technique in the cleanup of 17 miles of the river, which is so polluted that it is Superfund site. They even thought sediment washing could have far-reaching impacts on contaminated sites beyond North Jersey.
But in tests in Lyndhurst, the method failed to strip much of the highly concentrated dioxin from mud flats along the shoreline. Not only will the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency abandon a plan to use the process in Lyndhurst, the agency will now have to reassess how it will tackle cleaning up the rest of the Passaic River. And hopes for using the method elsewhere in the region are on hold.
"We were using [Lyndhurst] as sort of a test case as to how applicable these sediment washing technologies might be as an overall remedy down the line," said Ray Basso, an EPA official overseeing the Passaic River cleanup.
"The problem here is they failed right out of the gate," he said. "I was very surprised."
Positive results from sediment washing elsewhere had given hope to top EPA brass, including Regional Administrator Judith Enck.
"If you figure it out on the Passaic, there is no shortage of contaminated sediment sites where we can use this," Enck said in an interview last spring before the tests.
In sediment washing, contaminated river mud is dredged and shipped to a treatment plant where it is put through a multistep process. It is blasted with chemicals, high-pressure water and air through several tanks and a centrifuge to separate the pollutants from the sediment. The pollutants are destroyed by oxidation, the water is recycled into the wastewater system and the sediment is clean enough that it can be used for landscaping or structural fill or even turned into construction-grade cement, according to BioGenesis Enterprises, a Virginia-based company that patented the process.
When sediment washing works, it avoids the environmental pitfalls of conventional treatment, such as having to haul contamination to an out-of-state landfill, building another disposal pit near Newark Bay, burying it in the ocean or incinerating the contaminated mud, which could pollute the air.
The method was tested on mud taken from the shoreline of Riverside County Park in Lyndhurst, which contains some of the most concentrated amounts of dioxin in the river.
Two tests, by BioGenesis and Pear Technologies, showed dioxin reductions of only 4 percent and 28 percent. That's far below the 85 to 99 percent removal rate touted by BioGenesis. The PCB reductions were also deemed insufficient by the EPA.
The river mud in Lyndhurst is "very fine, which makes washing sediments to remove contaminants extremely difficult," said Jonathan Jaffe, a spokesman for the Lower Passaic Cooperating Parties Group, a coalition of 70 companies that are paying for the $20 million cleanup in Lyndhurst and a full investigation of the river.
It is easier to clean metals from coarse sediment such as sand than to remove dioxin and PCBs from smaller grains of river mud, according to a BioGenesis presentation on the process.
A report on the Lyndhurst tests by BioGenesis showed results that it called contradictory: A large amount of dioxin was transferred to the wastewater from the sediment, although a large amount of dioxin remained in the sediment.
"This result shows that the process is extremely effective at mobilizing the contaminants from the dredged sediment, a result that is, in our opinion, extremely positive," said Mohsen Amiran, the president of the company, in an email Monday night. "The goal and target was not cleaned solids, but to demonstrate the efficacy of the process, documenting a high rate of transfer of contaminants from the solids to the process water."
Now that it has decided it won't use the method in Lyndhurst, the EPA will go back to its original plan: dredging 20,000 cubic yards of sediment next year and hauling it away. Work will begin in May, when the first 2 feet of sediment will be removed from the most polluted areas of the mud flats. The material will be transported on barges down the river to Newark Bay, but how it will be disposed of has not been decided.
"We are confident this will not cause delay to the [Lyndhurst] project," Jaffe said. "We plan to dispose of these sediments at a licensed facility and continue our work on schedule."
The pollution in the remaining 5-acre portion of the river in Lyndhurst will be left in place, but capped to prevent human contact and to keep it from being churned up by tides. That part of the plan has drawn criticism from U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., D-Paterson, and others who want the entire 120,000 contaminated cubic yards removed from the river.
EPA officials have thought sediment washing was promising since at least 2006, when the agency considered the process to decontaminate river mud dredged from New York Harbor. The process can potentially save a lot of money. BioGenesis estimated treatment could cost $51 to $59 a cubic yard. Shipping dredged material from New York Harbor to landfills in Ohio and Utah has cost the Port Authority as much as $118 a cubic yard.
About 15,000 cubic yards of harbor mud, including some from the lower Passaic River, was treated in a pilot study and reached New Jersey residential cleanup standards, according to a 2009 BioGenesis report.
Federal environmental officials have been working on a multipronged cleanup plan for the Passaic for almost 30 years. The pollution extends from Newark Bay to the Dundee Dam in Garfield.
So far the only major action taken on the river has been the removal this year of 40,000 cubic yards of dioxin-laden sediment from the river in Newark. The site was near the Diamond Alkali plant, where dioxin was dumped for years during the manufacture of the infamous defoliant Agent Orange.
Phase 2 of the Diamond Alkali project calls for the removal of 160,000 more cubic yards of contaminated mud. But while the 40,000 cubic yards was shipped to an incinerator in Utah and a landfill in Oklahoma, a 2008 agreement between the EPA and the company that inherited the site's liability calls for the 160,000 yards to be disposed at a pit that must be built in Newark Bay.
But that's just a small portion of the river's overall pollution. For cleaning the lower eight miles, the EPA seems to be down to two options.
The more costly option is to dredge all of the contaminated sediment — 9.6 million cubic yards — over 11 years and backfill the area with 2 feet of sand. Disposal would cost, variously, $1.3 billion to bury it in Newark Bay, $2.9 billion for decontamination or $3.4 billion to transport it to an out-of-state landfill.
The other option would be to dredge 4.3 million cubic yards and cap the lower eight miles over six years. Disposal would cost $1 billion to bury it in Newark Bay, $1.7 billion for decontamination or $1.9 billion for out-of-state disposal.
The cleanup plan is scheduled to be announced next March, although Basso said that was an "ambitious" goal.
"We're going to pick one that is most protective of the local community and the river," Enck said last week. "It has been taking a while, but I don't expect substantial delays here."
Whether sediment washing is ever used on the Passaic River remains to be seen. EPA officials hope there is a turnaround, but for now it's stalled.
"We're not closing the door on it forever," Basso said. "There is still a lot of interest in seeing it succeed. There is a lot of benefit to it."

It's been two weeks since a $590 million winning Powerball ticket was sold in Zephyrhills, and still no winner has claimed the prize.
The mystery millionaire is still the talk of the town in Zephyrhills.
"I prefer someone who doesn't have a lot of money and stuff like that to win it," said Hagger Dixon of Zephyrhills.
"If I had that kind of money I wouldn't want anybody harassing me chasing me. I'd probably wait until it all dies down," said Ronald Reichert of Zephyrhills.
Whoever holds that magic ticket has 60 days from the date of the drawing to claim the $370 million cash option and six months to get the $590 million paid in full over 30 years.
They certainly aren't in any rush, which according to lottery officials, is a good thing.
"It's a great idea to take your time," said Mike Purcell of the Florida Lottery. "Meet with attorneys, financial advisors, have your ducks in a row before you show up."
As it turns out, there's no one way to become a Powerball millionaire.
Cindy and Mark Hill of Missouri won a $293 million Powerball jackpot in November of last year.
They picked up their winnings the day after the drawing took place.
The Cheney and West families of Oregon took a different route.
When the two families shared a $340 million prize in 2005 they didn't come forward for 30 days.
And if you think a Zephryhills no-show means that gives you another chance to hit it big, think again.
"The money that was pooled goes back in proportion to the states in which it was played, in Florida that's probably 9-10%," said Purcell.
If the winner has a plan, they seem to be sticking to it.
When they're ready to collect, Florida Lottery officials will be waiting.
"We want someone to call us, give us a call lets talk about what you need to do," said Purcell.
That $590 million winner isn't the only local Powerball millionaire waiting to claim their prize.
There was also a $50 million winner in Carrollwood from May 25 who has yet to cash that big check.

Medialon's booth (#1558) will be one not to miss at the 2003 LDI show in Orlando, FL (November 21-23). The company will be demonstrating its newest software, Manager V3, designed to reflect the needs of the North American show control market.
"Manager has always been, at the core, an exceedingly powerful concept. We have reworked the structure and presentation to better express that power, while honoring the sensibilities of the North American production and creative communities," comments Ken Bell who is heading up Medialon Inc. "It's really an enabling program. You see it, and where it can take you, and you just want to sit down and write show control."
V3 is a brand new version of Manager, based on the input of leading theatrical, staging and theme park professionals. It is available in Lite, Stage and Pro versions. New features include realtime control of any cue, countdown windows, data recording, and visual containers for pop-up control panels. V3 also extends Medialon's innovation in the areas of network control and user interface development with new variables and new graphical indicators.
The LDI conference session on "Projection and Show Control" will include several projects illustrating Medialon technology.
Medialon's software for show control represents the cutting edge in media presentation technology. It is a revolutionary, software-based control system that allows users to program, control and synchronize a limitless number of external devices (i.e. audio, video, lighting, switchers, image processors, special effects) Medialon's unique programming environment enables the creation of scripted or interactive timelines that are easy to author and modify.
Since Medialon system architecture is based on standard IP network topology, it can be implemented in a number of ways, using standard, off-the-shelf components. It offers frame-accurate synchronization, DMX and Midi acquisition and editing, multitasking and permanent device position tracking. Medialon software has been the system of choice for the top corporations, museums and theme parks in Europe since its first release in 1999. Medialon also offers a software suite for Dynamic Signage applications such as retail stores and information channels.

Borussia Dortmund: No Götze? No Kagawa? No problem.
This weekend the league leaders will be without midfielders Mario Götze and Shinji Kagawa. Götze is still out from his pubic bone injury, and Kagawa is now out with an ankle injury. This weekend they travel to Berlin in an attempt to avenge one of their three losses this season. Berlin have been in an absolute freefall since the new year, and Dortmund should still make easy work of them without Kagawa.
There are several moves that we could see from Jürgen Klopp this weekend, but two stand out from the rest. The first would be to drop Robert Lewandowski deeper and start Lucas Barrios up top. Barrios hasn't been the number one choice in some time with the rise of Lewandowski. The second option would be to to plug Ivan Perisic into the hole behind Lewandowski.
Whatever Klopp decides to do more than likely will get the job done against Hertha. There's no reason to be worried, Dortmund supporters.
Hamburg Thinking Of Europe?
The resurgence of Hamburg after what can only be described as a disaster of all starts is quite impressive. The appointment of Thorsten Fink appears to have been a master stroke of brilliance on the part of chairman Carl-Edgar Jarchow and sporting director Frank Arnesen.
The club lost six of their first eight matches, and since the appointment of Fink they've only lost one match in their last twelve. If they can turn some of the seven draws in those twelve matches into wins, they will likely continue to rise in the table as the season progresses. They have a huge opportunity this weekend when they host 5th place Werder Bremen. Hamburg are seven points behind Bremen, and the win would be massive for a club that was beyond abysmal a few months ago.
Schalke Need A Victory
Schalke hasn't been in great form over the last several weeks. A draw with Mainz and a thrashing from Borussia Mönchengladbach in the league and a draw with Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League have left the team needing answers.
The first half performance against Gladbach was something that every supporter wants to forget. Schalke have been all over the park defensively and finding a back four that shares a mutual confidence with goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall. Kyriakos Papadopoulos and Benedikt Höwedes are competent enough centerbacks but can Schalke supporters count on them week after week in a title race?
Scoring goals has not been a problem for the club all season. Only Bayern Munich has found the back of the net more times. Wolfsburg have had their own defensive struggles this season and are the perfect side for Schalke to get back on track against.

In short: Excellent spring half-marathon!In full: My third Brighton half and by far the best race yet. The course is mainly flat and fast, the only downside is that it can get congested in places as it is such a big event. Very well organized, from good park and ride facilities, ample toilets, nice medal and a goodie bag. Plus, the sun was shining, got a decent PB, Brighton, I will be back again! Date of review: February 16, 2014
In short: Epic race with killer finishIn full: What a great race! Excellent organization, fantastic marshals, challenging but fun coursse. It was my second B15, this time in completely different conditions to last year's snow, but I loved every mile. Just the right mix of terrain, lots of mud, tough hills, and a few flat sections to catch a breather (or overtake a few runners in front:-)). Be warned, the last mile is a killer, constant climb, some of it in slippery mud. Definitely a firm fixture in my yearly racing calendar! Date of review: January 21, 2014
In short: Well organized and marshalled raceIn full: Nice route on country lanes around Billericay, good organization and marshalling, quick results, overall a very good race. The course is undulating but has a good PB potential. Will be back next year!Date of review: November 6, 2013
In short: Excellent race!Date of review: August 18, 2013
In short: Another great event from HARP organizers!In full: This was my second HARP24 relay and the organizers did not disappoint. Lovely route through the country park. Good facilities for camping, nice finishers t-shirt and the medal plus trophies for category winners. Will be definitely back next year!Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: Great spring half-marathonIn full: Nice, undulating course, good marshalling and crowd support along the route (despite bitterly cold weather) and very good organization make this race well worth turning up for. The only thing I would change is how water was served at drink stations: cups are not really the best for the event of this size, bottles please next year! Date of review: March 24, 2013
In short: Beautiful scenery, challenging course, fantastic marshalling, can't wait for Grizzly 2014!Date of review: March 20, 2013
In short: Scenic scenery but lacks atmosphereIn full: Definitely very scenic course, mildly challenging hills. Organization was OK, can't fault it. However, would be nice to have at least few distance markers plus better marshal support, maybe have someone cheering at the top of the biggest hill? The race has a great potential but the organizers have to work on creating a better atmosphere on the course. Date of review: February 27, 2013
In short: Well done organizers, much improvment compared to last yearIn full: Good, fairly fast course. First few miles are rather congested, and again a few narrow point towards the end of the race. Good organization, however I do agree with previous comments that getting from the bag drop area into the starting pen was a bit frustrating due to many spectators obstructing the way. Great weather this year, hardly no wind for a seaside race and good crowds made it worth a trip to Brighton. I think I'll be back next year.Date of review: February 19, 2013
In short: Brilliant race!In full: Fantastic first race of the year! Good route, challenging, with varied terrain and some really stunning views. Can't give enough praise to this year's marshals, encouraging, friendly and helpful despite difficult weather conditions (snow and freezing temperatures). Also nice finishers t-shirt. Not to mention post-race log fire in the 'Roundhouse'. Great event overall!Date of review: January 22, 2013
