Water quality assessment
Chemistry major Ruth Maust and Erika Babikow, a biology and environmental sustainability major, work in the field at surface water locations to monitor flow, pH, conductivity and total dissolved solids. Samples are also analyzed later in the lab for barium and strontium, pH, conductivity, and TDS. Their work is part of a collaborative project between EMU, the Shenandoah Valley Network and the Friends of the North Fork to collect baseline water quality data near a proposed Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling site.

Student and Faculty Research Collaboration
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) majors are an active community of learners on our campus.
Seen a student in a Royals blue STEM sweatshirt lately? Ask what he or she is working on – you'll be surprised by the meaningful and high-tech research STEM students are completing side-by-side with professors who are experts in their fields. EMU undergrads work several semesters on projects, and even present findings at national conferences as well as at Suter Science Seminars on campus.
This kind of study – undergraduates paired with full-PhD level professors doing long-term original research – is typical at EMU and key to the success many graduates enjoy in graduate and medical school study.
STEM Research
Biology research
Impact of Soil Additives and Organic Horticulture Practices
Students are currently collaborating with professors Roman Miller and Steve Cessna in research projects involving organic blueberry horticulture. Students are assessing the impact of specific soil additives and organic horticulture practices on blueberry bush vigor and physiology, as well as the quantity and quality of blueberry fruit production. Students learn techniques such as measuring photosynthesis and soil respiration, assessing macro- and micronutrient content in soil and in plant leaves, and quantifying the concentration of anthocyanins (antioxidants) and other components in blueberry fruit. Measurements involve high performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence spectroscopy. Learn more
Measuring Pesticides in Market Vegetables
Junior Nels Akerson is working with Dr. Doug Graber Neufeld to develop and test a novel combination of techniques for measuring pesticides in market vegetables. This method will allow a relatively simple assessment of general pesticide levels that would be appropriate for a rapid screening vegetables in situations (such as developing countries) where resources are more limited. This project is testing the method by comparing pesticide levels from the local farmer's market with those purchased from large supermarkets.
Effects of Heavy Metal Toxins on Neurotransmitter Receptors
Students working Dr. Greta Ann Herin's lab are looking at the effects of heavy metal toxins on neurotransmitter receptors. For example, we have found that lead can inhibit a glutamate receptor that is important in learning and memory. This may be a part of the explanation of why children exposed to high levels of lead have learning difficulties. Our research involves the use of a technique called two-electrode voltage clamp, which allows us to measure the activity of neurotransmitter receptors in real time, and is relatively simple for students to learn.
Invasive and Natine Vines in the Shenandoah Valley
Student Blake Rogers is researching invasive and native vines in local forests Park Woods and Todd State Forest. Invasive vines like Japanese honeysuckle and English ivy may be out-competing native vines like Virginia creeper and American grape because of their evergreen lifestyle and their insensitivity to local competitors like black walnut. Blake is surveying local vine growth and performing greenhouse experiments to measure the walnut sensitivity of several different vines.
Red Light Environments and Plant Growth
Plants grown in red light form taller shoots and smaller roots than plant in natural sunlight. Some market gardeners use this idea to promote greater yield by covering their crops with red netting or covering the soil with red plastic. Student Kurtis Blosser is performing greenhouse and garden plot experiments to determine the impact of red light on the growth of spring greens arugula and mustard. He is also measuring root water uptake in plants grown in red, blue, green, and white light environments with our infrared gas analyzer.
Math and physics research
Analyzing Projectile Motion with Air Resistance
Joe Hochstetler, senior major in mathematics and minor in physics, worked with physics professor Leah Shao Boyer on analyzing projectile motion with air resistance in the general physics lab. He presented his findings at 13th Annual Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference of Undergraduate Scholarship and 7th Shenandoah Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics Conference.
Computer science research
Robotics Enrichment Activities
Lego Mindstorms NXT robots are used in computer science and engineering classes, and in fall 2011 students, Sam Kauffman, Eric Brodersen, and Joo-Ah Lee worked independently to create demonstrations that included a robot that can travel independently, travel a maze by sensing walls, and an alligator robot that snaps if petted.
Learning with On-line Games
Eric Brodersen worked with professors Dee Weikle and Charles Cooley in fall 2011 to determine what is required to transform an online computer game into a learning tool, and how to build an online game that will incorporate data from a variety of class levels (K-12). Current work includes porting the game "Age of Computers" to a local machine and adding new questions to this existing framework.
Responsible Citizenship in a Technological Democracy
Computer science major Aaron Springer is working with professors Dr. Weikle (mathematics and computer science) and Dr. Jeanne Horst (psychology) to collect data on students on cross-cultural and their use of social media. Goals are to answer the question, "What does an informed citizen need to know in today's increasingly complex world?" as it applies to governmental policy and technology. Dr. Weikle focuses her research efforts on the use of social media, how it affects individuals and how it can be improved.
Expectation and Value in the Science Classroom
Dr. Dee Weikle is collecting data in her CS110 Introduction to Computer Science classroom on how students retain information and perform based on their expectations and values as defined by research being done in psychology at JMU. Dr. Jeanne Horst and Dr. Weikle are working together to analyze this in the computer science classroom.
Chemistry research
Tara Kishbaugh's research interests are in chemical education and water quality studies. She is also involved in a collaborative project with Dr. Roman Miller and Dr. Stephen Cessna to systematically examine what soil amendments and cultivar types result in optimal soil and plant health and quality of blueberries.
Blueberry Foliar Analysis
The sub-project in Dr. Tara Kishbaugh's lab looks at the relationship between the level of micronutrients in the soil (tests done off-site) and plants (in our lab). Students collect leaves from specific cultivars during August, which have been raised with different soil amendments, and analyze them during September-December for micronutrients, such as Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Calcium and Magnesium using Atomic Absorbance Spectroscopy. A plan for quality control is implemented to check for method contaminations and other interferences. The instrument requires regular cleaning and maintenance, which the students are trained to complete.
Stream Health Assessment
Dr. Tara Kishbaugh, whose research focuses on chemical education and water quality studies, spearheaded a long-term evaluation and plan for nearby Blacks Run, a stream that runs through Harrisonburg, with its headwaters at EMU. The Blacks Run is considered to be impaired by the VA Department of Environmental Quality due to over-sedimentation and elevated levels of bacteria. In collaboration with other volunteers in the area, students regularly analyze the health of the stream using a variety of physical, chemical and biological indicators such as temperature, flow, nutrient levels (nitrates, phosphates, and others) and e coli.
Surface & Ground Water Testing Near Proposed Hydrofracking Site
Students are collaborating with Dr. Tara Kishbaugh and Dr. Doug Graber Neufeld to gather baseline water quality data from a local watershed that has been proposed as a hydrofracking site. Students are working with a local organization, and with residents in the watershed, to measure barium, strontium, and conductivity in both well and stream water. This baseline data will help assess water quality impacts of hydrofracking should drilling proceed in this area. Learn more

For Session 2: Playing the Lead : Your Role as a Writer link here.
For Sesson 3 : Finding Your Voice link here.
"Find your voice! Find your style!" In Let's Talk Writing III, I discussed finding your voice, yet take any writing workshop and the instructor is bound to encourage you to find both your voice and your style; the instructor will throw around voice and style as if they are two separate things, yet one and the same. It can certainly get confusing! And is it important to even understand the difference or can we just lump voice and style into one single entity and idea?
Let's define and try and understand the difference. As defined by several dictionaries:
VOICE is an instrument of expression; a sound produced or the ability to produce those sounds.
STYLE is a distinctive manner of expression; a particular way in which something is done, created or performed.
In writing, this basically means that VOICE is the instrument, what is uttered, the choice of words and language used, the method of speaking. Think of the difference in voice between an 8 year-old boy and an 80 year-old women, the language and vocabulary they each use to express themselves. It is how you sound on the page. Or how your characters sound.
STYLE, on the other hand, concerns more the mechanics of writing and the overall effect of the piece, how you as a writer, no matter the voice or the language used, organizes and tells the story. Do you use long, complex sentences and paragraphs, very ornate and romantic, packed with metaphors and colorful imagery? Or do you tell a story much more straightforward using short, simple, concise sentences, sparse prose, more journalistic than storyteller? How does the story (or the post) flow, how do ideas connect? Style has to do with flow, rhythm, whether you use repetition, whether you write with a sense of humor or not, the overall tone, etc. STYLE is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the characteristic manner of literary expression of a particular writer.
So, where does this leave you and what does it mean? And does one choose one's voice and style, are these static or can they be altered or manipulated? Does a writer want to hang on to that voice and style one has developed, created, or be more flexible?
I know for a fact that I have my own voice and a particular style both. I use big words, lots of adjectives and adverbs. I use repetition and long sentences in order to create a certain rhythm to my writing, to my paragraphs, to accentuate certain things. I don't just tell a story or describe a thing or a person, I attempt to create an overall "musical" effect and a particular mood to the work as a whole. My speaking voice – the language and the words I use and how I say them – is repeated and comes through in my writing voice, yet done very consciously and very conscientiously. My writing style, not necessarily how I tell a story aloud, is specifically thought out and chosen to create a certain effect.
Creating one's distinctive, personal voice and style is then a two step affair:
1) choose your language, your vocabulary carefully. Do you say - my son walked into the room and sat down or my son slunk into the room and slumped into the chair? - is your eggplant purple, shiny and curved or garnet-hued, glistening and voluptuous? - if writing a story or an interview, does the language and vocabulary you choose change with each character or person? When writing different blog posts or articles, does your language change depending upon the topic or the platform?
2) choose the way you tell the story, organize the story, the steps, the paragraphs. When you go back to edit, read the story out loud and listen to the flow, the musicality, the length of sentences. Read other people's work aloud…. What is the effect the piece and the way the story is told has on you? Separate the words used from the overall effect.
Now, is voice and style set in stone? Think about the difference your approach would be in writing a blog post, a personal story or a feature article for Saveur magazine, The New York Times or Family Circle. Or think about telling a certain story or giving certain information on a given topic to a group of friends, a group of children or a group of work colleagues at a conference presentation. Would you change or alter your voice? Your style? Is the language you use too simple or too complicated for one or the other? Or is the way you have told the story too complicated, drawn out, too convoluted (confusing, elaborate, tangled) or too simple and straightforward, not exciting enough? Is it too funny, too romantic, too morose and gloomy? Too light and flippant or too heavy and serious? When one thinks in those terms – of writing for a different platform or speaking to a different group, for example, then you can more clearly separate the two ideas and see them more clearly, understand them as separate entities.
Sometimes you may have to, by necessity, keep your voice yet change your style (or vice versa) if, for example, you are writing for a different platform or a different audience. I rarely change my voice when I write yet I do change my style of writing when it is for publication in or on another platform than my blog, for example: changing the way I enter into a story, writing shorter sentences with less descriptive adjectives, etc. When I edit a piece for another writer, I am forced to change both my voice and my style, so it is imperative that I understand my own in order to understand how to change it.
When we speak of FINDING your voice and your style, the word finding suggests an active search, an active effort. As I told you in Let's Talk Writing III, you can (and often should) manipulate your speaking voice and style when putting it down on paper, yet the two must work together as each reflect who you are and your personality. Finding both a voice and a style that is recognizable as you, that is distinctively you, takes time and thought. And practice.
Start the process by reading and comparing other people's writing. When you hop from blog to blog, read the different posts carefully, look for the language each writer uses and then how they tell the story or give information. Compare it to other writers and bloggers. Do the same for different magazines. And start to see the difference in voice and style, yet how the two work together to create an overall effect.
And then think about your own voice and style.
Here is a selection of blogs and blog posts to read and study for the writing (voice and style) – these blogs have a variety of purposes and goals, each have a written text for a specific purpose, whether to tell a story, to inform or both. Read carefully, notice the language used, the vocabulary chosen, the sentence and paragraph structure. Look for tone, rhythm and mood. Notice the voice and the style, think about each separately and then how they work together:

The David Blahg (Leite's Culinaria)

ALL MEDIA PHOTO CHALLENGE is where we have all painted together from "afar" – we've learned lots from our own efforts and from each other, and we have all grown, both as artists and as friends. WHAT MORE COULD WE ASK FOR???
This is a place to give all of us all an opportunity to share our ideas, favorite subject references, create some new ones, and to share our own efforts. In the spirit of our continuing growth, both artistically and personally, this Hosting Schedule is for any of you who want to participate further by volunteering a little of your time occasionally to host our ALL MEDIA PHOTO CHALLENGE here at Artist Daily for a month (or several) – at your convenience. (Please be ASSURED that hosting is NOT required to participate!)
Here's how it will work:
1. I will keep the hosting schedule current for us and update it periodically in a new post so it will stay apparent to all of us.
2. You choose the month (or months) that you would like to host and post your request here in this thread or "start a conversation" with me here on Artist Daily and I will put your name on the list for the month you have chosen.
3. I will send you a "conversation" to remind you of your chosen month about 2 weeks before your month is scheduled to begin and we will go from there. Any instructions and or posting assistance will be included in my "reminder conversation".
January, 2013 – berkenstock (Geri)
February, 2013 – Turp245 (Jen)
March, 2013 – wetpaperfan (Marsha)
April, 2013 – Turp245 (Jen)
May, 2013 – A Gal Named Sam (Sam/Sammy)
June, 2013 – Alexandra Spencer (Alex)
July, 2013 - berkenstock (Geri)
August, 2013 - Sheila Phelps (Sheila)
September, 2013 - wetpaperfan (Marsha)
October, 2013 (THIRD Anniversary Month) – holland2 (Holly)
November, 2013 - wetpaperfan (Marsha)
December, 2013 - A Gal Named Sam (Sam/Sammy)
C & C always welcomed and encouraged.
Marsha - You are going to have to tell me again the two months you said you could host - - I forgot already. Old age is not for sissies!
Geri - If you want January, just confirm it for me and I'll get it in.
Thanks for giving me a nudge - Sammy nudged me a long time ago and I forgot then, too. I'll blame it on all these @#%#$%Q# medications - - yeah, that's it.
Geri - If you want January, just confirm it for me and I'll get it in.
I am not particularly wonting Jan. but I will take it if no one else is interested.
C and C always welcomed
Well I guess no other suckers members want Jan. so I guess it is officially mine I hope you like what I have .
I feel that it is a privilege to host the Challenge for a month and I did send Holly my choices for 2013 via Conversations as she requested. I didn't select January, however, since I just did September and November. I would like to give everyone else a chance. If there's a problem with January, I'll be glad to do it but I don't want to hog up all the months.
I'm sure that Holly has received other requests and will post them before the year ends.
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome
Sam I am sorry about being negative about hosting. I don't mind hosting I just wish I had more time to think about it and find better pictures. Being this close to Christmas time seams to disappear. I have yet to put a tree up and we are having our Christmas next Sat.
Geri, so then, don't volunteer for January. There will be somebody to do it including me, if need be. I have thousands of photos saved and would just select from them or search Public Domain.
Sam you are right as usual. I again have posted things that have come out different than what my intention was when I posted. Somebody needs to slap me in the back of the head once in awhile. I will host J an. and will do the job with pride.
Geri has posted our new Challenge for January, but he got the dreaded "moderator needs to review" message. I have messaged Courtney but it IS New Year's Eve. - - if she happens to be watching her messages, it will go up - otherwise we may not be able to see it until Wednesday.
As a matter of information for you all, I do not necessarily have to be the one to contact Courtney - she will come to our rescue regardless of who contacts her. She is our biggest Cheerleader!!
This is our new volunteer schedule vor 2013 - - hopefully, I have everyone down for the months they said - - if I have made any errors - let me know and I'll fix it.
My New Year's resolution is to get back into the habit of being active here!!!
Hi Holly, I would be honored to host the photos for June if it is still available.
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Hi Alex - June it is for you. I'm so glad you are back with us again. I have been really bad about keeping up with posting for the last 6 weeks or so (before that I was really feeling so bad that it was all I could do just to keep up with reading everyone's posts). I have been feeling much better so my excuses are all gone - - I guess I was just being lazy. I have completed several paintings that I started back in April and I've started one for my step-son. I'll post them all tomorrow, but I'll get you on the schedule for June right now.
Jen C & C's always welcome
Turps245:Gerri you are one crazy guy
Well I guess I have been called wost Jen . HAVE A FABULOUS NEW YEAR TO YOU AND ALL THE REST OF YOU. I hope when we fall off the cliff that it isn't too high.
I'm not sure why I wasn't included in the hosting schedule. Perhaps I'm too visible and it's time to give other people a chance. If that's the case, I understand and will be glad to take a back seat and just watch and comment.
Happy New Year, Sammy - I left your name off because you said you would wait for everyone else to choose and see what was left, It certainly wasn't intended at "ignoring you" - not on your life!! I love you too much to do tha! May, August, December - and, actually, you could do October if you would like to do the Anniversary challenge - - I truly think that would be great, and I will take a different month.

* Prices may differ from that shown
Returned a fan heater to Argos as it no longer operated the fan at the required power. It was 10 months old and they were happy to exchange it or credit the sum paid to my Mastercard. I took it to the payment counter and they credited the sum with no quibble at the Dartford store. Service was excellent, quick and efficient.
Purchased a bathroom light at the Orpington store after securing product online. Service made by a sleepy counter operator who seemed as if he wanted to doze off. Collection was excellent, as they opened the product for me so I could see that the fittings were OK, very good. Was hassled a bit to join the Argos credit card by a representative on the way out.
Returned an electric blanket that stopped working with just 5 days left of the one years guarantee. The Dartford store replaced the blanket with no quibble, excellent service.
I ordered a heavy computer chair, they were paid to deliver on a specific day. They failed, no communication whatsoever from them until I complained. They have been caught lying, by claiming that they attempted to deliver at 8 pm on the day but I was not there (well would you been after being available from 7 am - 6 pm?); blaming their agents because they cannot use a mobile phone on the move ( have they not heard of hands-free sets or even STOPPING!). I got an email from them on the following day stating that in fact the item never made it to the depot on time for delivery. SO they are either incompetent or liars, I leave you to choose which is valid.
Obviously ARGOS have NO IDEA what customer service is about and DO NOT care so long as they get our money. Well no more from me.
I paid in full for a leather corner group sofa from argos at the end of september, was advised it would be dilivered within 28 days. 28 days came and went went into the store to be advised it would be arriving the following week so got rid of the sofa i had and waited for my new one to arrive. The day it was actually due i phoned argos to be advised they hadnt received the stock into their warehouse and that i would have to wait a further month for my goods. i asked them to explain why no one had bothered contacting me sooner to advise me of this as i was 32 weeks pregnant and now had nothing to sit on. Waited another month for my sofa only to be told when phoning then to find out where my sofa was that there was yet further delays and i would have to wait yet a further month before i recieved my goods, at this point i went mad as heavily pregnant with two small children was bad enough but having to sit on the floor with them just made it a million times worse. Its now coming up to christmas have just phoned them as they promised me i would have my sofa this week but they have now told me i wont get it till end january/ start february, Will i then get told march and so on its ridiculous. Ive advised i now want a refund so that i can purchase one from dfs instead to be told if i want a refund illget argos vouchers even though i did not pay with argos vouchers in first place. i cant go to dfs to buy a sofa with argos vouchers i will never ever touch argos again nor will any off my friends after whats happened to me. and for all of you out there having difficulties getting your goods from this company saynoto0870 website you can chase yor order with this land line number 01785710253 its alot cheaper than repeatidly calling the 0845 number you get on the reciept, they answer your call alot faster and they do actually call you back most of the time from this number (you still dont get your goods though, and get fobbed of just as much)
Once again I have been let down by Argos and it's looking like I won't get my freezer before Christmas,despite them saying it was in stock when I ordered on 21st Oct. I should have learned my lesson last year when a cooker took 2 months to materialize, meaning that I had to organize an electrician on Christmas eve!!! I recently ordered a table and chairs which were delivered a day early and left outside the wrong house for several hours in the rain before I went to investigate and realized that someone had stolen the chairs, which then had to be re-ordered. Once again they turned up on the wrong day,but thankfully at the right house and this time they knocked to gain a signature rather than dumping them on a doorstep. In future I will endeavour to source my goods elsewhere and would suggest others do the same unless you are willing to accept the fact that you may not see your items for a very, very long time.
I have no problem with Argos as a store, as the choice of products is incredible. Unfortunately, I can no longer shop with them as I do not drive and have to rely on Argos Direct to deliver my larger items. Argos Direct's service is truly shocking. I have so far ordered 4 large-ish items from them and on each occasion, they have been delivered to my neighbour's house with no attempt made to deliver them to my address, despite the fact I have taken time off work each time to make sure I was at home! My neighbours are elderly and the poor things have lugged these items round to me and they can't phone me because they're deaf! There is no problem with getting access to my property, so why on earth didn't they deliver it to me? And on 3 of these occasions, the order has arrived after the delivery deadline given. Ok, I understand that there is traffic and so on, but all it takes is a quick phone call to let me know they will be late. Nobody has ever called me to say it will be late or that it has been left (why??) next door. This is really terrible service for a company that makes such a big deal of their fantastic delivery service in their adverts. I have recently moved house and planned to decorate the majority of the place with Argos products because they're good value and have a great range. But I'm so disgusted with their delivery service that I refuse to pay another penny to them. They have missed out on a lot of business from me. My poor neighbours must be sick of me already. And I now have the headache of finding somewhere else with the same sort of range as Argos.
Argos Direct - Brilliant Service, in July we purchased a Servis Washing Machine from Argos Direct. Within a very short time it did not spin at the correct speed. This happened in more than one wash programme so we attempted to contact Servis to have it looked at. Servis just DO NOT answer the telephone, one full day trying and did not get through once.Contacted Argos and received a call from Servis within 48 hours.They arranged for a repair man to call and look at the problem - he never turned up.Another call to Argos - received immediate positive action - a new machine will be delivered this week.Argos could not have been better, no queue on the phone and someone who knows her job at the other end.Just Brilliant - well done Argos Direct.
AVOID!! I pre-ordered a PS3 online, but cancelled when they took payment 3 weeks before it was due to be delivered!
I am still waiting for the refund 6 weeks later despite them saying they have issued it a number of times........ obviously lying!
Another thing.......... don't use there premium phone number to contact then, use http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php & you will find a normal "01" number!
I have never had so much hassle as these idiots!
The last time i visited my local argos store in Hastings was yesterday when i went to buy a broadband modem to get me on dooyoo. The level of service you recieve is next to none with friendly members of staff at all times of the day. ***Products*** They have an extensive range of products and in my case they do have something for everyone under that 1 roof. You can purchase Gardening equipment, Electrical Equipment as well as kids toys and much, much more. ***Product Availibility*** Their product availibility is quite good as they have most things in stock to take away the same day. ***Product Checkers*** I love these little machines, if you enter the catalogue number at the bottom of the item it will tell you exactly how much of that product they have got in stock. These Product Checkers save you time and money. Without Stock Checkers: -Say if you were to go in and buy a new mobile telehphone and there were none of these you would end up queuing for ages trying to come to an agreement with the store. With Stock Checkers: - You would know exactly how much of that product was in and if it was not in stock you would'nt waste any time queuing waiting to be refused. ***Staff*** Most of the staff are helpful and they will do their best to assist you into finding the best deal that is right for you. They are Extremely well trained into the customer service sector and they have manners unlike some people. ***Home Delivery*** The Home delivery service is a good idea as it would save the store quite alot of space for those big bulky items such as fridges and cookers. Altough you would have to wait from 24 hours to 7days it is not a very reliable service. The prices for this service are pretty cheap as well at on £3.95 for delivery of an item that is under £200.00. Free home delivery on big packages such as Televisions, Washing Machines and Cookers. ***Insurance Services*** I thi
nk argos is the best when it comes to these packages, they offer you Home, Car,Pet and travel insurance at low rates. ***Internet Shopping*** They also offer internet shopping at their website. So you could do it from the confort of your home you would need either a credit or debit card though. ***Ring and Reserve*** You can ring up, place an order and when you are next in town you can pick it up and beat the queues. ***Click and Collect*** This service they offer is like the "Ring and Reserve" service but you order it from your computer on the internet through their 24 hour shopping site. ***Argos Card*** This is argos's store card, I do not recommend these to anyone as they charge you lots of interest along the lnes of 25.9% APR. This is not a good idea as it could get you into debt faster than you think. ***Catalogue*** The new Argos catalogue has roughly about 4000 new products in it. The catalogue is jam packed full of irresistable offers and discount scemes. ***Low Prices*** They offer really low prices when it comes to everything in their catalogue. They even show you the old catalogue price now for reference. ***Payment Options*** They offer lots of payment options such as: SWITCH/SOLO, VISA/DELTA, MASTERCARD/VISA, VISA ELECTRON AND GIFT VOUCHERS.
i would like to start by saying how i think that this shop provides amazing choice. There are litterally thousands and thousands of products that you can purchase. The price is relatively cheap as well. The catologue also gives very clear decriptions of the products available. For example, I wanted to purchase a CD player, however I needed it to play copied CD's (this is only between me and you right!) and have the lonest battery life for the cheapist price possible. i found this very easy to find as the catologue is laid out so well informing you,with out even reading the desription, the battery life and whether or not coppied CD's can be played. I think that this is very useful for the consumer, particularly, me who is very lazy and can never be bothered to read the whole desrciption which is too techinical for me! I liked the additions catalogue as it provided eve more choice, which for me the shopaholic was great! It also catered for women that had larger feet, which is unfortunatly a problem for me. However they no longer do this catalogue. Once I have choosen what i want to purchase I go down to the local Argos, and this is the experience that lets the whole shopping pleasure down. When i have made my decision in the comfort of my own home, which is the good part. Once you enter the Argos store it is a sort of 'Every man for themselves' experience as I think that normal people leave their common sense outside. Once I have made my way to a catalouge and made my decision, I then have to try and find one of those stupi little pens somewhere (but for some reason people always steal them, I don't really know why this is). i then try to write the code on the tiny little piece of paper as small and neat as possible. Once this is done I go as quickly as possible to the paying counter were there is usually only a few members of staff serving the masses. Once it has finally been paid for I then have to wait for them to f
ind whatever it is what i have ordered. The longest I have waited is about 20 minutes, which is annoying as you see everyone else who was in the que behind you getting there products while you are still waiting patiently in line for your item. Overall the only complaint that I have is the organisation of Argos. But then agian I suppose they do have a large number of products in the warehouse to search through, so I do not think that I could do any better.
I recently ordered a double bed from Argos Direct and encountered several problems and extremely poor service. I will keep this review short, but I for one will never use this company again. 1) Mid- July placed order for bed Online. Order unsuccessful no reason stated. 2) Two days later placed order via telephone. Informed 7 - 14 days delivery. 3) My account was debited and I waited two weeks. Still no news of proposed delivery address. 4) Phone Argos Direct. They were unable to help me as I was not MRS. Despite the fact there is no MRS and I (MR) placed the original order via the phone. Finally got to discuss order. 5) Informed that they operate a rolling stock system! - They had the right beds coming in to stock but could not confirm whether on of these would be allocated to me (despite my account all ready being debited and the 7-14 days delivery having clearly expired). 6) Informed Argos that I needed delivery for two weeks thurday as I had a friend coming to stay, and I would phone on thursday. Intent on cancelling the order if they could not confirm delivery prior to this. 7) Phoned arogs Direct on thursday. Their computer system apparently down. They offered to phone back. 8) Argos phone back offering delivery a week on Wednsday (one day before my guest arrives) I happily agreed and arranged time off work. 9) Waited at home on day of delivery. I was called at 11:30am saying that they had no bed for me and that the lorry had not been loaded with my order. Delivery would now be a week on friday at earliest. 10) There was no apology or no offer of a solution 11) I phoned Argos direct to discuss the order. Again no apology and in the end the order was cancelled. So in summary the whole experience of dealing with Argos Direct was traumatic, annoying and disappointing. I sitll await an apology following a letter of complaint.
I bought a small upright/handheld vacuum cleaner on the Argos website. It was described as having good tools and accessories - nothing was said about the fact that it was only suitable for dwarves in upright mode. It arrived on time. That is all that was positive about it. Being an upright cleaner one would expect it to have a handle long enough for a reasonably tall person to be able to use it without bending. No. The handle was so short that even wearing flattest of flat shoes - ballet pumps? I had to bend uncomfortably to use it in upright mode. A man (yes, some actually DO clean!) would have great difficulty unless he were unusually short - and this is the type of vacuum a man might well use for quick clearups before the missus gets in or for ashtray spills and the like . . . The toolset, although of standard variety with a decent size dusting brush (often they are ridiculously small by any standards!) and conveniently attached to the machine (instead of on one of those horrible 'holster' arrangements that make the new, most popular cyclone vacuum so horribly clumsy to use, was of very poor quality thin plastic which would soon split and would definitely would not last even as long as the poor quality filter, which, although there was a spare, presented the usual problem of as soon as the filter contains enough dust - five minutes - the vacuum loses a lot of power and the motor is straining to draw air through dirt instead of filter, thus shortening the life of the motor. I saw no indication that spares were available although because I intended - after one look at the handle length and hose quality - to return the item, so could not open the manual to find out. Generally, though, spares are only available, at hideous prices, for the bigger machines. What was worst though was the Returns system. The website clearly stated that the goods could be collected and refunded to the card used to pay with. I requested this by ema
il stating that I could not use the 'return to shop' option as I am severely disabled. Delivery was on the Thursday - collection set for the following Monday. I arranged to have someone here to open the door. I cannot always get there fast enough myself. I made this clear in my email. Monday came. No collection van came. Could not get through on the expensive Customer Service line. Emailed to ask why - told that 'a second attempt would be made to collect the item on Tuesday' and 'apologised for any inconvenience'. I replied that apologies were all very well but did not pay carers. That there had been no first 'attempt' at collection. I was told then that my complaint was noted and passed on to a higher level. Tuesday arrived but the collection van did not. At 15.30 I managed to get through and after listening to a lot of guff about the website (at national rates, something totally useless to someone without a computer - this should be on an option button, no customer should be forced to pay to hear something that does not apply to them or they have already seen onsite!) and being put on hold I eventually got through and was told that White Arrow would definitely be calling. By 18.00 cut-off time, they had not. So I am left with goods that are no use to me, still not knowing when they are to be collected - and two days worth of carer pay, plus an expensive phone call, the poorer. Because one has to let the company know that one is disabled - so that the delivery person leaves adequate time for one to answer the door, one gets the distinct feeling that because they know one cannot go and bang on desks, advantage is taken. Even if that is not so - who wants to spend two days tied to the front door awaiting a collection that doesn't happen? A very bad attitude; inefficiency - and as far as the phone call check on delivery was concerned, outright untruth because I w
as told that the carrier had been contacted and my address was definitely on the list for that days' collections. As, presumably, it had been on Monday's list. No understanding was shown for my concern at the cost of paying a carer (wages are high); only necessary on the second day because the first collection date was disregarded for whatever reason.
Argos rather like to paint themselves as a user friendly, customer focussed company. If that were true I would still buy things from them. I learnt the hard way just how much they care about their customers. At the beginning of April 2002 I had the misfortune to fall down the stairs at my local station and bust up my ankle rather badly. This meant that I was off work for four weeks, and, as I work on contract, I didn?t get paid. At the time I had an Argos card which required monthly payments. I had missed one payment to them which was due only a few days after my accident ? so I think I could be forgiven for the oversight! However, Argos immediately referred the matter to the General Credit Company. This masquerades as an independent debt collection agency ? although a little research reveals that they (like Argos) are owned by Great Universal Stores. I received a demand for payment from General Credit to which I replied straight away explaining the situation I was in and assuring them that I was not trying to get out of the debt. I also sent a copy to Argos Card Services asking them whether I could make a claim under the card?s insurance scheme. No reply from General Credit, beyond a threatening phone call, although Argos did send me a claim form. On 26th April I sent Argos Card Services an interim payment of £100 which they paid in. The next thing I got was another threatening letter from General Credit from which it was quite obvious that they had completely ignored my earlier letter and the payment I had made. Once again they threatened court action. Again I replied explaining the situation and that the account was also subject to an insurance claim. No reply! On the 11th of May I received a ?Notice of Court Action? from General Credit, at which point I wrote to the Chief Executive of Argos, yet again explaining the situation. No reply ? although I did get several more threatening phone calls from General Cre
dit. On the 21st of May ? having been ignored for nearly two months ? I borrowed sufficient money to pay the debt off completely and paid it in. On the 11th of June the insurers informed me that they had paid the claim which meant that my account was now in credit. I wrote again to the Chief Executive and pointed out that I wanted what was mine. No reply. I also sent a copy to Sir Victor Blank (Chairman of GUS) ? No reply. On the 15th June Argos Card Services wrote to me to tell me that there was a credit on my account and would I like a cheque! On the 12th of July (having told them a month previously to close the account) Argos wrote to me telling me that I deserved an increased credit limit! I declined! They wrote with the same offer on the 12th of August. Again ? I declined! Finally in September they seemed to get the message and closed the account. But in that same letter they had the monumental cheek to ask me for my opinion of their ?service?. Needless to say I told them very concisely what I thought of them. I cannot speak too lowly of this company. Being harassed and threatened with court action was bad enough ? being ignored by almost everyone (including senior management, who ought to know better) was just too much. To me they just seem complacent and greedy. I would not recommend them and it will be a long, long time before I set foot in one of their shops again ? if ever! As a post-script, I was absolutely delighted recently to see them fined £17.3 million for price fixing!
I have just bought the Nokia 3310 for my son for christmas.What a great deal to get a digital camera as well.I was desperately thinking of a suitable present for the inlaws and now I have the perfect solution at no cost at all! what could be better.The Nokia 3310 is a great phone for all ages but the camera was a bit tricky to understand the instructions.The girl on the information desk couldn't have been more helpful when we asked her advise.The paying and collecting your goods system was very organised, top marks Argos.
I placed an order with Argos Direct for some weights and was told my item would be delivered on Friday 27th September 2002. My father waited between the stated hours of 8am and 6pm and nothing turned up. The customer service line for Argos Direct orders is absolutely terrible. I have spent £5 in phone calls waiting over an hour and did not even get through to anyone to tell me why the item had not been delivered. On the order line I got through to someone in 20 seconds but on the line for orders already placed the call level was "extremely high" and nobody was there to answer. WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH!! I do not doubt that there are other people who have been messed about and waited in all day for parcels ringing up to complain, but perhaps if they took some of the people off the order line and trained them to deal with the orders they have messed up there might be more chance of answering the phones in a time that wouldn't make it obvious their level of after sales service is absolutely terrible. The ironic thing is I've worked in customer service listening to people ranting over little things and I usually make a point of not getting angry. However, their customer service made my blood boil and their call centre, which I believe is in Widnes should be closed down. If I could have got through to whoever was responsible I would have made a point of blowing my top. I spoke to 2 people in a Stafford call centre. One promised to ring me back, but didn't. I suspected she was lying when I spoke to her. I also spoke to a manager who was not interested in hearing me complain and tried to fob me off with the diamond phrase: "I'll log your complaint." When I eventually got through to the helpline they told me that it wasn't delivered on the specified day because "That happens sometimes" as drivers sometimes don't have the time. I asked that the order wa
s cancelled and my VISA card refunded as well as compensation for wasting 8 hours of my fathers time and the £5 I spent waiting on the helpline. They wouldn't give compensation. They then told me I would have to wait in on the Monday to let the delivery man know the item was to be sent back. My father then waited on the Monday but again nothing turned up. I phoned the helpline again to find that they had cancelled the order without the need of having the goods delivered to me and me refusing the delivery. It took long enough to get through to their customer halpline and when I did get through they gave me incorrect information. I will never use Argos direct again and would rather pay more to shop elsewhere. I would advise you to do the same.

The Lady Rams earned an all-important conference win after topping the Eagles 5-0, while the Rams dropped an 11-1 decision to Central on the baseball diamond.
Starmount won its second straight game behind ace Olivia Greene.
After throwing 10 dominating innings in Friday's extra-inning win over Elkin, Greene fired a shutout Tuesday to lead the Lady Rams.
Starmount improved to 4-8 on the year with the win and tied Ashe County in the Mountain Valley Conference standings for the third 2A slot.
On the baseball diamond, Wilkes Central ace Austin Staley silenced the red-hot Rams with a dominating performance on the mound.
Staley scattered a pair of hits over five stellar innings, while striking out 12, to lead the Eagles. Samuel Stone and Jeremy Whitaker collected the Rams' only hits as Stone plated Zack Worley for the lone run.
Central capitalized on five Starmount errors en route to the 11-1 victory.
The Rams saw their five-game league winning streak come to an end with the loss as they fell to 6-6 on the year. Starmount holds a two-game lead over Ashe County for the third 2A spot.
Both squads return to action tonight against Yadkin County rival Forbush.

5 Unique Bay Area Pizzas from 'SFoodie'
SFoodie's John Birdsall mentioned Slice's "United States of Pizza: Northern California" post earlier this week, saying, "...we like the fact that Kuban shared his obsession with us, even if they reveal an outsider's peccadillos." So I emailed Mr. Birdsall to ask if he'd mind sharing an insider's peccadillos. Yesterday, he and Jonathan Kauffman posted their thoughtful take on some unique pizzas in the area.... More

Star Trek Into Darkness launches next week; iTunes has all the old Trek to get you caught up
Thursday, May 16th marks the US premiere of the 12th Star Trek flick: Star Trek Into Darkness. Like the 2009 film simply titled Star Trek, the new Into Darkness is directed by JJ Abrams and follows the adventures of the crew of the [new] original Enterprise under the command of a reimagined Captain Kirk played by Chris Pine. While the action-oriented direction of the last film, cockier Kirk, aggressive lens flares, and design of the new old U.S.S. Enterprise might have ruffled a few feathers, the 2009 entry kicked up the production quality of Star Trek films by an order of magnitude or two.
Four years later, the new Star Trek Into Darkness has already premiered in a number of countries worldwide and will be landing in the US next week. The new film has a dedicated iPhone app and a villain that recorded his audition with his iPhone while on vacation in England. And the Enterprise itself has a bridge that critics likened to the design of an Apple Store.
Okay, we might be stretching here. We just love Star Trek and we expect that you're likely a fan too. Statistically speaking, it's not a stretch to make that assumption. So, why not watch some Star Trek this weekend before heading to the cinema to catch Into Darkness? There are ten classic films staring your favorite combination of Shatner, Nimoy, and Kelley or Stewart, Frakes, and Spiner, and of course there's the 2009 Star Trek blockbuster with Pine, Quinto, and Urban. And they're all on iTunes, plus 716 episodes of five series spread across thirty seasons. In short, there's a lot of Star Trek to be watched, so with a new film coming up next week, you better get started now while you still have time.
You are going to see Star Trek Into Darkness, right?

Star Trek Into Darkness launches next week; iTunes has all the old Trek to get you caught up
I've got Wednesday 8PM tickets too!
Though being in Ohio the location-based points have been harder to come by...
It opened here in Mexico this week. I saw it yesterday. It's a good movie. Don't expect the original series and remeber this is an alternate reality. When our American friend see it we will go into detail about what was right and wrong about the movie.. Great Movie.
Well, it finally opened in Mexico this week, with positive reviews and big crowds going to the theaters... It's by far better than the last one, and rivals the Wrath of KHAN... Spoilers alert, remember that name... By the way, 3D was done the right way, and in 4Dx is a most spectacular experience... Go watch it, you will not be disappointed...
Glad to hear that you and dc9super80 liked it!
One of the major goals for Paramount is to increase the Star Trek movies' popularity outside the US. The 10 Star Trek movies before the 2009 film have underperformed overseas when compared to other Hollywood films. Signing Benedict Cumberbatch, a well-known movie and TV actor in the UK, will likely help sales there. And the UK is Hollywood's biggest English language market outside the US, obviously.
And, just from watching the teasers and trailers, it really looks like the non-verbal action has been ramped way up. That adds universal appeal, but cuts back some of Star Trek's pure sci-fi roots and turns it into an action series set in a sci-fi universe. Very different. Some people like that, others don't. I like it.
I've sat through enough scientific investigations of "spatial anomalies," far too many weird uber-hacks like "re-configuring the main deflector emitter to generate an anti-tetrion pulse," aging Star Fleet officers lamenting their career choices, holodeck malfunctions, and bad humor involving singing around campfires and Broadway musicals. And, of course, all those fake foreheads. Time for a fresh approach. J.J. Abrams has done it.
Will definitely see it, but I'll wait for it to show up on iTunes. I don't bother with movie theaters anymore.

We've got a lineup change to announce for our NHL Legends 5 series. Our Don Cherry sequel figure encountered some delays, and will be pushed back to a later series. The opening in the lineup will be filled by our original Bobby Orr figure, updated to reflect his two seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks.
The finalized NHL Legends 5 lineup features three of the NHL's all-time greatest players in uniforms that appeal to diehard hockey fans and Sports Picks collectors. Bobby Orr became a household name through a decade in Boston, but his final games in the NHL were spent with the Chicago Blackhawks. Wayne Gretzky's legend was built in Edmonton, before he revitalized California hockey with the Kings - but he spent 31 games as a Blue in 1996, when St. Louis fell one goal shy of the Western Conference Finals. Bobby Hull will forever be remembered as a Chicago Blackhawk, but he scored 307 goals for the Winnipeg Jets, shepherding them through the WHA and into the NHL.
These three players are saluting the teams and cities they spent some time in, while Montreal's Guy LaFleur is showcased in his Canadiens uniform, which he wore for 14 glorious seasons.
NHL Legends 5 is due in stores late this September. Stay tuned to SPAWN.com for photography of this series.

The irony of our society
What has happened to our country? If we lie to Congress, it's a felony; if they lie to us, it's just politics. If we dislike a black person, we're a racist; if a black dislikes whites, it's their First Amendment right. Our government spends millions on criminals but nothing on their victims. In public schools, homosexuality is OK, but we cannot mention God. It's OK to kill an unborn child, but not a convicted murderer.
We are unable to close our border with Mexico, but we have no problem sewing up the 38th parallel in Korea tighter than a drum. If you protest the policies of President Obama, you're a terrorist; if you protested President Bush or burned the flag, it was your First Amendment right.
Pornography on TV or the internet is OK, but public nativity scenes or menorahs are not.
All criminals are sick or culturally deprived. Most of them have better living conditions in jail than outside - air conditioning, plenty to eat, free clothing, free medical and dental,etc.
It's OK to use a human fetus for medical research, but not an animal. We take money from those who work and give it to those who don't. We selectively follow the Constitution, but only if doing so is politically correct. Parenting has been replaced with Ritalin.
If we have a major crisis, government forms a committee to find out who caused it, threatens them, raises taxes and tells us the problem has been solved.
We say God bless America, and then exclude him from every public acknowledgment of his existence.
And then we question what has happened to our country.

It was my pleasure to take part in the South Carolina Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., in April. This event was the most-organized and well-planned event in which I have ever taken part.
This flight was the first one which the Korean War veterans had been invited to take part. I found out last fall that the Korean War era veterans were to be included, so I immediately applied and was accepted. The flight was put on hold for weather concerns until the spring.
For those who are not familiar with the Honor Flight, it is an event in which the World War II veterans, and now, the Korean War era veterans, are flown to Washington, D.C., and back in the same day. During this trip, the veterans are taken by bus to the World War II Memorial, The Korean War Memorial, The Lincoln Memorial, The Vietnam Wall, the changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery and the Air Force Memorial. This is a hectic schedule, of course, but everything went off without a hitch.
The people who arrange and schedule these events are to be highly commended for their hard work and diligence in planning and executing these flights. The best thing about it all is that there is no cost to the veteran. The entire cost is paid by voluntary contributions, with no commercial mention at all.
When we arrived at Washington, there was a receiving line and a band to greet us and, when we left to come home, there was a band and a big group of people to send us off.
That was nothing compared to the receiving committee when we arrived at Columbia. There was a group of S.C. Highway Patrol Troopers lining the concourse at attention, with a hand salute. Outside the security checkpoint was a group of about 250 or 300 people lined up in a receiving line. There was also another band, very good and very loud, to greet us.
Each and every person wanted to shake our hand and thank us for our service. That was very impressive. After working my way through the receiving line, I met my two sisters who had come to pick me up. There were also three "Miss Columbia" young ladies to meet us as well. I was lucky enough to have my picture made with them.
One special point was that each bus had its own "den mother," responsible for the passengers on her bus. At each stop, she told us how long we had to visit and when to be back to the bus. She checked us in after each stop, and we did not lose anyone. There was also a "guardian" for every two veterans to assist with anything needed. If one needed special assistance or had mobility problems or was in a wheelchair, there was a one-on-one guardian provided. They really took care of us old veterans.
Once again, if you are a World War II veteran or a Korean War era veteran, check into the Honor Flight. It will be well worth your time.

The Berkeley County Sheriffs Office detectives arrested and charged a man on March 27 for operating a chop shop.
BCSO arrested Harrison William Lucas, 46, the owner of the residence at 4422 N. Highway 52, St. Stephen, with operating a chop shop. The official charge is listed as possession of a stolen motor vehicle, according to the Hill-Finklea Detention Center website.
BCSO recovered what is estimated to be approximately $200,000 in reported stolen vehicles, motorcycles, trailers and numerous other items after uncovering, what is commonly referred to as, a chop shop operation in the St. Stephen area of Berkeley County.
Berkeley County detectives received information that four stolen motorcycles were at a St. Stephen address.
After corroborating the information, a search warrant was obtained for the property at 4422 N. Highway 52. An NCIC check revealed the motorcycles had been reported stolen, along with a pickup truck and an enclosed trailer, from a motel parking lot in Orangeburg County.
The approximate value of the motorcycles alone is $70,000.
Several items on the motorcycles had been removed or modified. Deputies found parts to the stolen enclosed trailer along with a truck that had been taken from Orangeburg County.
The Berkeley County Sheriffs Office is continuing its investigation into the scope of this chop shop operation.
