Over four hours of famous on- and off-the-field recordings represent 80 years of the game, including incredible plays, farewell speeches, press conference excerpts, and much more. Interviews with key players and coaches, legendary broadcasters making legendary calls, baseball comedy and commendary, plus a disc of songs about the game from artists such as John Fogerty, Bob Dylan, Nat King Cole, and many more round out the collection.

I would so love to buy this for my husband, a former minor leaguer for the Royals and Giants and a fan extraordinaire of the Cubs and Sox. . My question is "Where's Harry?!?"" The emphasis seems to be so much on teams on the coasts, that I think the compilers must have forgotten the great tradition "in the middle. .. "?!? What about all the years that Harry was the voice of the Cardinals, the Sox & the Cubs?!?

This picture was taken in Florida after a lacrosse tournament. I love this photo because it captures two of my passions: lacrosse and sunsets. There is just something inspirational about watching as the sky changes from a beautiful blue to vivid hues of orange, pink, and purple. The field and the goal in this photo represent achieving my dream of playing D1 lacrosse in college and the hard work that it took to get there.

Beach Channel High School played host to a large crowd last Saturday for its annual Homecoming Game. Although the Dolphins lost to Long Island City High School in a close game, and the day was cold and overcast, the crowd's enthusiasm was undaunted as it cheered its team. Pictured, the BCHS band led the homecoming parade around the school's track.

Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same
Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same
The Life and Times of Some Chickens
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, Hardcover, 9781582343761, 80pp.
Publication Date: November 5, 2003
Chickens show off their human side in Sloane Tanen's irresistible dioramas.
With more personality than most people have to spare, New York artist Sloane Tanen's tiny yellow chickens negotiate the tricky modern world, filled with three-headed blind dates, menacing KFCs, playground popularity battles, and annoyingly crowded yoga classes. They perch amid doll furniture, in scenes photographed in glorious color and brilliantly captioned- and their lives will strike you as strangely familiar...
Charming, spiky with off-kilter wit (or waxing jobs gone terribly wrong), and somehow larger than life, these chickens win the hearts of all who behold them.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Random Thought! I sometimes write these in my underwear. It's random thoughts time! Get excited!
Random Thought! Reread reviews return Sunday as I begin Nostalgia November here at Comics Should be Good. Every day in November, I will read and discuss one comic from a box of comics that I brought back from my parents' house. The box contains a random assortment of comics from my childhood, so it's a nice trip back to my youth. Sundays will have a reread review and a Nostalgia November post as, for the reread reviews, I spend November looking back at the death and return of Superman for four Sundays and, since November has five Sundays, will end the month with the Marvel 2099 crossover "Fall of the Hammer." Oh, this should be fun.
Random Thought! Not related to comics, but last week's 411 Wrestling Top 5 column asked a question that's been nagging at me: if you had to choose five wrestlers (one selection can be a tag-team) to start a promotion, which five wrestlers would you pick? You can see the results that the guys there picked, but I wanted to share my picks for the three of you who also watch wrestling.
1. Chris Jericho. Not just because I'm a big fan of his, but because he's probably the best all-around performer in North American wrestling (maybe the world, but I don't know that stuff well enough to say for sure). Fantastic mic skills, can have a great match with anyone, a main event-level wrestler who has no problem putting other guys over or not being in the spotlight all of the time, and also very creative, always willing to come up with great ideas for his character and feuds. He can be a heel, he can be a face, he can do it all.
2. John Cena. Because you need a main event draw and no one does that better these days than Cena. Not only that, but he's also a guy who's willing to put guys over and do what's good for the company as a whole — that he's been kept on top so long is more a result of the WWE's booking decisions than him demanding it. He also works hard to deliver his best every single time he's out there. I won't always take passion over skill, but Cena is a case where his passion more than makes up for whatever skills he lacks.
3. Samoa Joe. A big, thick guy with fantastic in-ring skills. He can also be face or heel, which is good. Not much more to say. He's also young enough that he's got a while before he'll retire. An established main event star who also does midcard feuds, not someone who requires to be in a world belt feud at all times.
4. Legacy (Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase). You need young, future stars and this tag-team fits the bill best. Their work against DX the past few months has shown that they can deliver on a main event level and look to be future world champions. I'm choosing them over someone like John Morrison pretty much because, as a tag-team, it's a two-for-one deal.
5. CM Punk. I debated this final spot between Punk and AJ Styles, but I think Punk is stronger overall. They're both at similar levels in their careers, but Punk's in-ring abilities are less 'spot monkey' and his mic work is much better than where Styles is at. Although, with Styles as TNA champ right now, maybe we'll see even more improvement from him. Punk, though, has been pure gold since his slow heel turn after cashing in his second Money in the Bank briefcase.
Overall, I went with a make-up of six guys: two established vets (Cena not quite a long-standing vet, but enough of one), two main event-status newcomers, and two future stars.
Random Thought! The old saying goes that not many people bought the Velvet Underground's first album, but everyone that did started their own band. Is there something like that in comics?
Random Thought! Nothing about selling a short story makes you feel like a real writer like having to sign contracts. Contracts mean business, which means professional.
Random Thought! I love the look of books on a shelf… especially trades. They look better than regular books, honestly. Especially when you get a nice uniform spine design like Vertigo used for Hellblazer until Denise Mina's run.
Random Thought! As much as I love the comics Avatar publishes, I hate their generic covers. The company is better than that. Though, I do like the painted portrait Ignition City covers, the 'warning sign' Doktor Sleepless covers (though they cost more, which is bullshit), and dug that the colours on each No Hero cover went through the spectrum. Otherwise, though… the company publishes books by fantastic writers featuring very talented artists, they could be delivering gorgeous, knock-you-on-your-ass covers.
Random Thought! It's a good thing I'm not an artist, because then I'd probably do stupid things like trying to figure out how to do Ulysses and Gravity's Rainbow as graphic novels. Okay, that would be pretty cool, actually.
Random Thought! Patrick Bateman is who Bruce Wayne would have grown up to be if his parents had lived. And was a young man in the '80s. I still believe that, to keep the Bruce Wayne persona up, Batman had to do a lot of cocaine in the '80s. Also: does Batman care about the legal issues regarding any of Bruce Wayne's associates having illegal immigrants as domestic help? What's his position on white collar crime?
Random Thought! Apparently, CBR's traffic is up 25% from a year ago. I began reviewing for them this time last year. Hmm… so, the year that I've been reviewing for them, traffic has gone up… interesting… heh. (And that's when I get an e-mail from Jonah telling me what the hits on my reviews are and I shut up…)
Random Thought! "Station to Station" is amazing.
Random Thought! New feature at the blog: Rated R Reviews. Haven't quite gotten a handle on what I want to do with them yet, but it's an evolving feature. Really brief reviews when I seemingly talk about the comics in somewhat tangental ways.
Random Thought! Up earlier today: the Top 25 Warren Ellis Comics, something that began in one of these posts, went through a Splash Page, and, then, Tim's "When Worlds Collide" column this week. With all that Tim and I agree on, is it any surprise that we're getting as much as we can out of one area where we differ?
Random Thought! Just for you guys, the five runners-up for the top 25 Warren Ellis comics (in no particular order): Iron Man: Extremis, Frankenstein's Womb, City of Silence, Freakangels, and Ignition City.
Random Thought! One Ellis work that I have a lot of fondness for but know that it doesn't crack the top 30 is Switchblade Honey, the little space graphic novel he did for AiT/Planet Lar. Basically, humanity is at war with an alien species that is kicking the shit out of them, so they put together a group of military criminals (basically the good people who didn't fit in or follow orders) and tell them to go off and be the Viet Cong, basically. To help save humanity by being guerrilla fighters. Some nice jokes at the expense of Star Trek and its various shows. Not much more than Ellis drunk having fun — but aren't those the sort of things that stay with you sometimes?
Random Thought! This week, I'm reviewing Blackest Night #4 for CBR…
First off, I never want you to mention your underwear and tell me to get excited in such close proximity to one another again.
Second, there is already a Gravity's Rainbow graphic novel. Kind of. Close as anyone's going to get, at any rate. http://www.amazon.com/Pictures-Showing-Happens-Pynchons-Gravitys/dp/0977312798/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256678415&sr=1-4
Third, Station to Station is indeed totally amazing and is one of my favorite albums.
Finally, Patrick Bateman and Batman are two of my favorite fictional characters and I am thrilled that you have found a way to link them. And I think you may be right too.
Switchblade Honey reads like a sci-fi reimagining of The Dirty Dozen…the good one with Telly Savalas and Ernest Borgnine.
Your last random thought had a really ominous tone
By the way, what did you think of Tim Callahan's Top 10(.25) Geoff Johns comics?
After watching Dark Knight and American Psycho, I find it amazing how much Patrick Bateman and Bruce Wayne look like each other. They could be twins!
The closest equivalent of Velvet Underground in comics I think would be the original Eastman/Laird issues of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It lead to a whole FLOOD of DIY indie comics hitting the market that were often raw and crude but had great energy and creativity.
I'd suggest throwing out Legacy, adding Jerishow (that way you get Jericho and the Big Show in one pick) and then add in AJ Styles. Mostly because I think Legacy is pretty bland, personality wise.
And I'd love to see Samoa Joe and CM Punk in the same promotion again.
"Random Thought! The old saying goes that not many people bought the Velvet Underground's first album, but everyone that did started their own band. Is there something like that in comics?"
I have to agree with T. and say that TMNT would be the closest parallel, with Love & Rockets in a distant (but respectable) second.
Yeah, I think your right T.
TMNT sure did spawn a whole bunch of indie comics.
Speaking of Spawn, I was going to mention the Image guys as having inspired (I use the term loosely) to start doing comics. But then I realized that tons and tons of people bought their stuff right off the bat.
Plus, I'd hate to compare the Image guys to the Velvets in any way shape or form.
Dang, I was just listening to Station to Station on my way home from work today. Bowie at his best.
I think that to compare The Velvet Underground to TMNT misses the point of the analogy. The VU anecdote implies that the only people interested in the Velvets ended up being musically influential in their own right. That is to say, wider audiences would be exposed to Velvet Underground influence through more popular acts, without necessarily appreciating the connection.
Pretty much everyone is directly familiar with TMNT, and any comics that were inspired by TMNT existed solely because of the Turtles' commercial success.
The first thing I thought of when I read the Random THought was the Hernandez Bros. and Love and Rockets. Love and Rockets is respected within the industry as one of the most important independent/alternative comics ever, and the influence of Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez is present in the work of many creators from subsequent generations.
"This week, I'm reviewing Blackest Night #4 for CBR."
Especially given your recent exchange with Tim C., that should be interesting. Looking forward to it.
Pretty much everyone is directly familiar with TMNT, and any comics that were inspired by TMNT existed solely because of the Turtles' commercial success.
I wouldn't say that. People at the time sincerely thought it was a great book. But the crudeness of it at the same time made people think it was possible for them to do the same too. That was a major part of Velvet Underground inspiring people: not just how good they were but also how BAD they were. When you listened to it, it was awesome and catchy enough to love, but technically it was also awful enough that you thought "Wait, I can do that!" When you listen to Michael Jackson or Prince or the Beatles you love it but think I could never be that good because they're so technically excellent you feel you'll never be that good no matter how hard you try. When you listen to Velvet Underground you think "Hey, maybe being a rock star isn't so hard after all. I could be this good in a year. I already sing better than Lou Reed."
I think it was the same thing with Laird and Eastman. It was inventive, but let's be honest (and I say this as a fan) it was pretty low-execution and very blatantly DIY.
I think Love and Rockets is a very good example too by the way.
I'd attribute CBR's increase in traffic to Newsarama's decrease in quality. Sad to say, but personally that's why I prefer CBR over Rama when it used to be the other way around previous to the purchase by Imaginova.
And yes, Jericho is amazing. I loved his work way back when the WCW was still around and he had his feuds with Rey Mysterio Jr. and Juventud Guerrera. Good stuff from Jericho even way back then.
"I sometimes write these in my underwear. "
A little too much information there.
I hear the artist of Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat did his works in the nude, and sometimes receives guests au natural.
Dunno why I thought of such a "random" and "useless" trivia.
It's been a while since I read any Batman, but I doubt if he would care at all about immigration violations. Batman has no compunction about breaking laws under certain circumstances (breaking and entering, assault), so clearly he's not the sort to insist that all laws must be obeyed at all times. And since there is no conceivable ethical or moral justification for any immigrationa laws (quite the opposite), it doesn't seem likely that he would ever want to enforce them.
i'd have to say hunky dory was at bowie at his best but to each his own
Regarding something that not many read but that influenced many, what about the original 1970's Manhunter stories from Detective Comics? Not sure what the sales were on these issues, and if that would fit the criteria or not, but I believe that there's an incredible amount of love for these stories among those in the industry. And I share that love, as a fan.
Another VU-type comic: Cerebus, the first major self-published comic.
This is a comics site, not a wrestling site.
So, gee, Nevett, is there something you're trying to tell us, and not subtley at all? If you sold a short story you're allowed to come right out and brag about it, you know.
Hunky Dory is better, but they're both great albums. I actually think Bowie's first album is the best. (And I mean the actual first album, not the Man of Words,Man of Music/Space Oddity album, which is sometimes listed as first.) I love Sell Me A Coat, She's Got Medals, Love You Til Tuesday– all those great songs. I know I'm the only person in the world who prefers that album, but that's just the way I am.
No Crécy on your Ellis list? That's a glaring omission.
Regarding T's comments:
I agree with most of your points, particularly the do-it-yourself aspect of early TMNT. My only point of contention is that TMNT was SO popular at the time, whereas, VU was only listened to by musicians. (At least, according to the story)
A better analogy for the Turtles, I think, is early Beatles. The simpler "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" stuff, that was immensely and immediately popular, but still accessible enough to inspire countless knockoffs. (Maybe we should be comparing the Monkees and the Radioactive Adolescent Blackbelt Hamsters.)
It feels a little bit snobby to talk about the Velvet Underground and Love and Rockets, but I still think that's the best analogy.
I suspect that traffic for CBR is up by 25% because it was a year ago (or more?) that Newsarama got…weird. You guys were the next best alternative, and it's paid off.
Yeah, I gotta echo the wrestling complaint, I really couldn't care less about it. It'd be like reviewers here rambling about the new Lady Gaga album, or watching Gossip Girl. Nothing wrong with either of those (well, that was a flat-out lie, but anyways…), but they don't belong on the blog, and it feels like a waste.
JK — I'm not a Big Show fan and haven't really dug his tagging with Jericho — I would have preferred someone like Kane who can do more in the ring.
sgt pepper — Yeah, I sold a short story. And I'll brag how I want to.
alan coil and stealthwise — If that was the only thing I discussed here, I'd apologise, but it was one item, it's my post, I'll write what I want. I mentioned music, too, and you didn't get too upset. I made reference to books (prose), too. And, sometimes, my personal life. And other people get something from those thoughts. Plus, my post, I write what I want.
The wrestling part was 523 words out of 1281, so… just over 40% of your post, despite the fact that it was just "one item." It's irritating for the reason I named, CSBG is primarily about comics, and your comment doesn't tie in at all (unlike the one about music). A one-off blurb here and there is one thing, but… you're right though, you can write what you want.
I was referring to my "Station to Station" comment.
And I do understand your point, but there's also this: I spend A LOT of time writing about and thinking about comics. I need to throw in the odd non-comics thought for my sanity. A variety-style regular post like this is a good place since it can get lost in the shuffle easily.
Everyone here loves David Bowie and Wrestling. Awesome.
Is there something like that in comics?
Everyone who read Young Liars is cooler than everyone who didn't.
Not much more than Ellis drunk having fun — but aren't those the sort of things that stay with you sometimes?
I often think about that one.
If the ending had been stronger, it would have been great.
Heck, I wish the bugger was writing it as an ongoing.
Nah, the real kool thing is Lucius Shepard's Vermillion.
I remember when TMNT first came out, it was this snarky little homebrew book that was poking major fun at the "popular" themes (read being shoehorned into EVERY title possible by the big two). I also think that that's why it became so popular itself (many folks didn't get the joke and/or sarcasm and then once marketing got their hands on it it had just enough originality left for them to beat it into a mainstream phenomena). When I read one of the first copies (dam I wish I held onto it) I was laughing my ass off at seeing the "gritty", "outcast" (be it mutant or teenage or BETTER YET both) aspects being turned on their ear (hey it worked so well for batman and the xmen and the titans ….. let's do TURTLES, every ones loves funny animals). Yet when a few friends looked at it who weren't into collecting they thought it was fabulous, I laughed a bit figuring they didn't get "the joke". Fool that I was I didn't get "the masses". So yeah I'd totally agree with the VU & TMNT anthology (hell I even gave thought to trying it myself "Wow, if they could do it and I'm easily twice the smartass that they are").
Well, anyone wanna back my idea for "Secret preteen mutant wolverine Trouts who've exerienced a black Night" maxiseries?
I disagree with how many parenthesis you chose to use. Anyway, No one loved funny animals in 1980 because no one ever loved funny animals, at ALL. TMNT wasn't popular because it was the obvious next step in the . . . Christ, whatever Carl Barks didn't take care of.
TMNT isn't VU because more people know who Splinter is than who Lou Reed is. And also because TMNT never led to artistic expansion.
Usagi Yojimbo
Plenty of people know who Lou Reed is now, and very few knew who Splinter was in 1984. And while they say that everyone who bought Velvet Underground's first album joined a band, no-one ever said that they were all good bands.
If you read those early issues of TMNT, though, they're strongly influenced by Miller's Daredevil (right down to the toxic waste bumping off someone's eyes before bouncing into the sewer) – isn't that Daredevil run the Velvet Underground of comics? It was dark and cinematic years before Watchmen…
A couple more years, and sci-fi TV will be ready for Switchblade Honey. Right now, it seems like it's following Battlestar: Galactica (wrestling with serious allegorical issues, overall sense of grimness, supposedly has an endgoal in mind but really doesn't) which is fine, but…there's no fun to it. Adapting Switchblade Honey would bridge the gap: it's serious business, but there's still joy to be had. By smoking and drinking abusively. (Something it would have in common with Galactica; I kept wondering how they seemed to be barely spaceworthy yet still have a steady supply of booze.)
Ah, VU and comics. 2 of my favorite topics. 2 quick related things: the writer of the Rough Guide to the VU is Peter Hogan, who co wrote the Terra Obscura minis for ABC, and he mentions that Neil Gaiman listened to Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music while writing sequences set in hell for Sandman.
As I've always heard it, the quote about no one bought their albums but everyone who did started a band is attributed to Brian Eno. I would point out that a lot of the early NYC punks, Jonathan Richman, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, etc, all have said they dug the VU or covered songs of theirs. So as someone said, they are sort of influential by proxy. Although none of my examples are really people who do music that the kids listen to today. Also, as I think T said, the crudeness, the "I can do that" factor helped with the VU. I'm sure, too, that Eno as producer for things like U2 got something of the influence to the masses. Somehow. There's also the idea that everyone who bought the VU loved it and wanted to do the same thing, and there's comics like that.
So I'd agree that early TMNT, with the torrent of parodies and the B&W explosion of the late 80s would be analogous.
Love and Rockets, I don't know. I suppose they led to the Fantagraphics (hm, what's a similar term for "house style" that would fit here?) type stuff, and that in turn led to the kinds of comics that mainstream media tends to cover or review.
Maybe Maus/Raw? or Weirdo? I'd say those would be comics that never made waves in most comics stores, but everyone who was into them went on to make comics. Again, influence by proxy.
But my vote is still with Cerebus, as I'm a big fan of that. Apparently not a lot of other people are of the Cerebus Archive, as Diamond appears to be dropping it and Dave Sim is printing/distributing it through ComiXpress. But I'd say there was a "circle" of people who saw what Dave did, and said, hey, self publishing is a viable option. Like Martin Wagner, James Owen, (hmm, go elsewhere for examples), Colleen Doran, Terry Moore and Jeff Smith. By the early 90s when these people were really gearing up and going strong, Dave and Cerebus had established that you could do this, and have a degree of "fame", although most people in most comics store don't know about Cerebus. A kind of influence by proxy, as I'm sure there's people who saw what Jeff and Terry did and started comics themselves.
Anyone know what ever happened to Martin Wagner? I dug Hepcats.
Or Mark Oakley and Thieves and Kings? It wasn't really my cup of tea, but it had it's moments.
Yes, I COULD look things up online, but I'm lazy.
Is CBR traffic up 25% because of Robot 6?
My only objection to Love and Rockets and Cerebus would be that they maintained enough support and recognition through their work to be able to keep at making comics. Whereas the VU pretty much went down in flames because of lack of "success". I don't remember at what point the TMNT were when they got optioned for the cartoon series and toys and all the crap that followed. Were they doing ok at that point or were they thinking of closing up shop?
Also, Lou's solo 70's work would be a decent comparison to the success of mainstream TMNT. Both were much more popular than the work that preceded it, but were less satisfying in the end. Or maybe I'm just talking out my ass – who knows?
Who'd be the Roxy Music of comics?
Forgot to add that the Hernandez brothers and Dave Sim may have managed their finances better than the Velvets, thereby allowing them to continue to do financially unrewarded work.
spot monkey?
I think everyone's looking way too late — I'd go with something like Robert Crumb's Mister Natural, which was being published in low-circulation magazines and so forth but ended up essentially setting much of the language of "comix" as an alternative to "comics." Any arthouse comic today is going to owe much to Crumb, but how many people really knew who he was before that documentary by Terry Zwigoff?
Speaking of wrestling – CM Punk is the reason I started watching again. Well,that and obsessively playing Smackdown vs Raw 2009. I love heels who say what I'm thinking.
isn't that Daredevil run the Velvet Underground of comics?
I would say no because although that Miller DD run was influential and popular, I don't think it was crude enough to make a lot of people think they could jump in and do the same thing. I'd say some people even found it intimidating. When I watch VU documentaries, one of the things people praise about the album is how it "democratized" rock music and made people feel like you didn't have to be a great genius technician in order to say what you wanted to say. It paved the way for music to be democratized even further and made even more crude by punk rock.
I like wrestling, Lady GaGa and I read Young Liars.
Just saying…
Right now, it seems like it's following Battlestar: Galactica (wrestling with serious allegorical issues, overall sense of grimness, supposedly has an endgoal in mind but really doesn't) which is fine, but…there's no fun to it.
You didn't think BSG was fun?
Moral compromises, the death of the individual to for the good of the group, characters slowly becoming what they hate – you don't think that's fun?
Something it would have in common with Galactica; I kept wondering how they seemed to be barely spaceworthy yet still have a steady supply of booze.
Like all good soldiers and sailors, setting up a still is first priority!
-The wrestling analysis is on point even with your alternates in Morrison and Styles. I'd also add the Motor City Machineguns, Edge, Christian, Daniels, Amazing Red and Shelton Benjamin as wrestlers who aren't main eventers but week in week out give matches high on the 'wow' factor.
-As a work, I'd include Bone with Love and Rockets as stories that laid storytelling 'how to' groundwork for writers of today. On the downside too many writers have taken the worst aspects of Watchmen, Sandman and Dark Knight Returns as the how to and that has led to a lot of comic fun being lost….
-Count me in on the trade thing. Things like the Strangers In Paradise pocket books linking picture binding, the color scheme binding on Y the Last Man and even the trippy-ness of how marvel and dc binds their runs like Avengers and JSA look really cool.
I'm also not interested in wrestling (though I was when I was younger), but as you've said, it's your post. It's also not too hard to scroll down and skip it.
There are plenty of things on your Warren Ellis list I want to read, but nothing on Tim's Geoff Johns list (well, maybe 52 and the Flash). Of the things I have read on either list, Transmet and Nextwave are genius (no hyperbole) and Fell is really good, while Infinite Crisis was painful. I recently read Down, and that was fun.
As for the Batman/Bateman thing, I can now mention that I didn't like Christian Bale as Batman. I think Hugh Jackman would have been much better. It's a pity he was already Wolverine. I honestly don't think Bale is a very good actor. He was good as Bateman, but it seems to me that every character he plays is a variation on cold/emotionless/really serious guy. I think Keaton was a better Batman/Bruce, suprising as that was.

I'm connecting my Samsung LED S22A300B to my HP EliteBook 6930p through VGA out.
Laptop has Intel 4500MHD video card. I have latest drivers installed for both card and monitor. Only 800x600 and 1024x768 are shown.
A lot of other people get this problem when they use it with docking station as discussed here. But I am not using any docking station.
The monitor works great with my desktop though.
As advised on the aforementioned page, one of the things I tried was to force the resolution using Intel's "custom resolution" feature. I installed PowerStrip on my desktop and copied advanced timing values(front/back porch,sync width, etc.) from there and then used the same values while defining a custom resolution in my laptop's Intel graphics utility. As a result, I got the 1080p resolution but the display is poor. Text has some weird colored shadow and sometimes on images too.
What should I do?

Howard Baker, Senator Who Led Reagan White House, Dies at 88
Howard Baker Jr., who played key roles in Ronald Reagan's presidency as legislative "spear-carrier" in the U.S. Senate during the administration's triumphant first year, and as a steadying hand inside the White House during its troubled later years, has died. He was 88.
He died today at his home in Huntsville, Tennessee, according to John Tuck, a senior adviser in the Washington office of Baker Donelson, the law firm where he was senior counsel. The cause was complications from a stroke he suffered on June 21.
The namesake son of a seven-term congressman and son-in-law of Senate Republican leader Everett Dirksen, Baker represented Tennessee in the Senate for 18 years, rose to majority leader and ran for president before replacing Donald Regan as Reagan's chief of staff.
His 17 months at the White House, from March 1987 to July 1988, came at a dark time for Reagan. His detached management style was under criticism in the wake of the Iran-contra affair, the secret effort to aid right-wing guerrillas in Nicaragua with money raised by selling arms to Iran. Democrats had retaken control of the Senate, and Reagan's recent prostate surgery had heightened concerns about his stamina.
Baker was credited with restoring order and purpose to the White House and helping to improve relations with a restive Congress. On Baker's first day, Reagan wrote in his diary: "He's going to be fine & there was a great feeling in the West Wing of improved morale."
"More than any other single person, it was Howard Baker who brought Reagan back," Reagan biographer Lou Cannon wrote.
'Valued' Adviser
Reagan's widow, Nancy, said today in a statement that Baker "was one of Ronnie's most valued advisers," and she praised his "integrity and ability to create cooperation between the Congress and the White House."
Known as a straight-shooter who valued civility, Baker had first made his name in Congress as the vice chairman and top-ranking Republican of the Senate committee that investigated Watergate. During the committee's hearings, he articulated the question that became part of the American political lexicon: "What did the president know, and when did he know it?"
He became the Senate's Republican leader during the presidency of Democrat Jimmy Carter, and Reagan's coattails in the 1980 election made him majority leader. Baker called himself Reagan's "spear-carrier" and backed his plan to stimulate the economy through tax cuts, even while calling it "a riverboat gamble."
Calmed Rebellion
He helped avert a Republican rebellion against $36 billion in cuts in Reagan's first budget and helped win approval for Reagan's much-criticized decision to sell AWACS reconnaissance aircraft to Saudi Arabia.
As time went on, he sided with lawmakers in drawing the line at more cuts in domestic programs. He went so far as to propose tax increases to pay for Reagan's military buildup.
The stalemate over taxes, military spending and cuts in domestic programs, and the economic recession of 1981-1982, swelled the deficit during Reagan's term, from $79 billion in 1981 to $155.2 billion in 1988.
Baker was known for his gentility and conciliation toward colleagues of both parties, a reputation that generated suspicion among hardcore Republicans, who didn't warm to him when he ran for president.
Advocates Civility
"We are doing the business of the American people," Baker said of his governing philosophy in a speech to members of Congress in 1998. "And if we cannot be civil to one another, and if we stop dealing with those with whom we disagree, or that we don't like, we would soon stop functioning altogether."
Howard Henry Baker Jr. was born on Nov. 15, 1925, in the Cumberland Mountains town of Huntsville, the first of two children of Howard Baker and the former Dora Ladd. Baker's mother died when he was eight, and his maternal grandmother helped raise him and his sister.
Baker's father, a politically active Republican lawyer, served in Tennessee's state legislature and ran unsuccessfully for governor. He won a seat in the U.S. House in 1950 and served until his death in 1964.
Baker graduated from the McCallie School in Chattanooga in 1943 and joined the U.S. Navy, studying electrical engineering at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, and at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. With a law degree from the University of Tennessee, he joined the Huntsville law firm that his grandfather had started.
Early Campaigns
His 1951 marriage to Joy Dirksen brought Baker into the political arena. That year, Dirksen's father, an Illinois Republican, joined the U.S. Senate following eight terms in the House of Representatives.
Baker lost his first bid for public office, a 1964 campaign to fill the Senate seat left vacant by the death of Estes Kefauver. His victory in 1966 made him Tennessee's first popularly elected Republican senator.
He was one month into his second term in 1973 when his Republican colleagues named him to the seven-member Senate committee on Watergate. As vice chairman, he worked closely with the Democratic chairman, Sam Ervin, and became known for the plain, pointed questions he composed with the help of his chief counsel, Fred D. Thompson, later a U.S. senator.
When former White House Counsel John Dean came before the committee, Baker told him: "The central question is simply put: What did the president know, and when did he know it?" Baker would reiterate that question throughout the committee's three months of public hearings.
Promised Nixon
Baker told the Knoxville News-Sentinel in 2005 that he had entered the hearings "absolutely convinced that the whole thing was a Democratic dirty trick to embarrass Nixon." He went so far as to promise Nixon he would keep the inquiry from overstepping its bounds.
In the end, working with Ervin to produce a bipartisan report, Baker made good on his pledge to "let the chips fall where they may," J. Lee Annis Jr. wrote in his 1995 biography of Baker.
Nixon's resignation in 1974 elevated Gerald Ford to the presidency and seemed to put Baker in prime position to be Ford's vice presidential running mate in 1976. Ford instead picked Kansas Senator Robert Dole.
Angering Conservatives
Baker engineered a one-vote victory to become Senate minority leader in 1977. He worked with the Carter administration to win passage of the treaties that transferred control of the Panama Canal to Panama after 1999. Many conservatives chafed at Baker's support for the handover.
He declared his candidacy for president in 1979 and was viewed as a leading contender for the nomination to challenge Carter. After third-place finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire, Baker became the first high-profile candidate to drop out.
Reagan's huge victory over Carter that fall carried enough Republicans into the Senate to create the first GOP majority since 1954, and Baker became majority leader.
While backing much of Reagan's early economic agenda, Baker resisted calls from more conservative members of his caucus to move legislation to ban abortion or require prayers in schools. Baker said he personally opposed abortion but considered it ultimately a private matter.
Restoring Normalcy
Baker retired from the Senate at the end of his third term in 1984 and began contemplating another campaign for president. He was still undecided about a presidential bid when, in February 1987, Reagan fired Regan as his chief of staff and gave the job to Baker, who, Cannon wrote, helped restore a "sense of normalcy" in the White House.
Kenneth Duberstein, Baker's deputy, succeeded him as Reagan's fourth and final chief of staff when Baker stepped down in July 1988, six months before Reagan left office.
Baker's final call to government service came in 2001, when President George W. Bush named him ambassador to Japan. Baker held the post until 2005.
He worked in the Washington and Huntsville offices of the law firm his grandfather founded in 1888; its official name today is Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz PC. An avid photographer, he published his images in books including "Howard Baker's Washington" (1984).
Baker was married to Joy Dirksen from 1951 until her death, of cancer, in 1993. They had a son, Darek, and a daughter, Cissy, who has worked as a journalist in Washington. In 1996, Baker married Nancy Kassebaum, a Republican who represented Kansas in the Senate from 1978 to 1997. He also is survived by four grandsons.
The University of Tennessee opened the Howard Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2003. The entrance to the Republican leader's suite in the U.S. Capitol was named the Howard H. Baker Jr. Room in 1985.

First off, does anyone have a comprehensive list of the Perl special variables?
Second, are there any tasks that are much easier using them? I always unset
$/ to read in files all at once, and
$| to automatically flush buffers, but I'm not sure of any others.
And third, should one use the Perl special variables, or be more explicit in their coding. Personally I'm a fan of using the special variables to manipulate the way code behaves, but I've heard others argue that it just confuses things.

Nuclear Lobbyist Thinkstock Despite recent events in Japan, the nuclear industry sees this as a vital period of "nuclear renaissance," which the Nuclear Energy Institute estimates will bring four to eight new nuclear plants online by 2016. But the new plants will require generous government support, and, last year, the NEI spent $54 million on lobbying efforts. Although nuclear lobbying has become a touch more subtle in the past few years, as recently as 2006, NEI sponsored the House Energy and Commerce Committee's softball team, took part in Congressional caucus golf outings and funded literally hundreds of Congressional fact-finding trips to Las Vegas. The dangers of nuclear energy are well known yet consistently swept under the carpet: Nuclear proliferation (there is enough weapons-grade plutonium and uranium being produced every year for tens of thousands of nuclear weapons), accident risk and extreme environmental degradation to name but a few. Given the mounting negative evidence about the nuclear industry, it is a testament to the talent and determination of lobbyists that so many world political, scientific and economic leaders continue to promote the industry.Check out our Top 10 Worst Bosses and out Top 10 Celebrities On Twitter.

La Perla
Marchesa Push-Up Bra
Product Actions
Push-up with padded cups, covered by macramé and embellished by an elegant embroidery. Adjustable velvet straps, removable padding.
Founded in 1954 by Ada Masotti in Bologna, Italy, this purveyor of luxury lingerie is named after the pearl-like way its earliest pieces were packaged in velvet-lined boxes. Masotti, a former corset maker, relied on expert tailoring, rather than the stretch of a fabric, to create the perfect fit, a philosophy that remains the focal point of the brand today. Handcrafted of the finest satin, tulle, and lace, La Perla's sensual designs are a celebration of femininity.

The Visual Basic Upgrade Companion is able to convert VB6 to C# or VB.NET with the same automation ratio and code quality. However, upgrading to C#.NET represents a larger technological challenge because of its differences compared with VB.NET. After years of experience performing successful migrations to C#, the VBUC has been improved with tons of transformation rules to guarantee that the generated source code will have the topmost quality possible regardless of its target language.
Upgrading your VB6 source code to C#.NET using the Visual Basic Upgrade Companion is currently the best option available in the market because of the following reasons:
I was looking for a conversion tool for one specific application and the VBUC fitted the bill perfectly! The interface was nice and clear and it did basically everything for you, and the process was a lot quicker than I expected it to be. And after the first successful compilation the application loaded up and I was surprised how much everything looked the same as I expected. In conclusion I cannot praise this product highly enough. It has saved me an immense amount of time when compared to rewriting it, and just as importantly, it has maintained the look and feel of the application, meaning that the impact to the users will be minimal. I wish you luck with the continued development of this, and if I become aware of anyone needing to do anything similar, then I will be sure to let them know"

Great location
There was no fruit at the breakfast
Sheets smelt like bleach, and very clean for age of hotel. Second stay and I'll stay again
The distance to the boat launch was not bad and the a c worked good
The room seemed dated bedding was old and thin the sink drain did not work had to take the center plunger out to get it to drain and that was nasty and the carpet seemed very stained and dirty this room was not worth 175.00
The bed was so hard it hurt my back. A lot.
The staff was very friendly and nice.
The prices were very high for a perfectly normal and acceptable hotel room.
Room was clean. Food was adequate for breakfast but nothing special. Comfortable stay. Quiet location.
Clean and professional. Bathrooms are spacious.
Breakfast bar ran out of oatmeal.
Comphy bed and pillows..
Bugs...in the corners of the room..on top of the counter where tv was a bug was lying on its back kicking and dying...gross.. bteakfast room vould be bigger because it was packed..
Clean comfortable bed,clean room.
Air conditioner seemed out dated and no conditioner in bathroom.Towel rack over toilet.had to retrieve one face towel from toilet.Breakfast room to small,we asked two guest to sit with us because they were eating on top of the trash containers.
its location, its uniqueness
Beautiful view, pools were nice, comfortable rooms
Not happy that checkin went so poorly. They couldn't find the reservation I made, over charged us, just a hassle.
Leaving in the morning
Dirty. Disgusting. Rude staff. I actually am considering calling the Michigan department of health to inspect this sty.
It was dirty before we left we checked under the bed . There was men's underwear and a gross dog toy there was stains all over blankets and furniture. We were locked out of the bathroom.There was 4 guys sitting drinking beers by the pool .not clean
Had to take kids to emergency room at 2am for chemicle burns from the pool
I liked the location of the hotel. Close to everything we wanted to do. We came specifically to spend time at muskegon state parks sports complex. Hotel was located only 20 ish mins away. You get what you pay for here. Overall our say was good for us.
Hotel was under some interior renovations, pool and hot tub area had extremely strong chlorine.
The rooms were very small. We had a bad view would have preferred a water view but no rooms were available. If I returned I would request a water view, a must. The pools were nice indoor & outdoor. Nice resturant. Good entertainment in the evenings. Would have liked a breakfast of some sorts.
Clean rooms, clean bathroom, fun stay!!
The sliding door was hard to open on the balcony.
My air didn't work. The drapes were to short, so at 6am I was up because the sun was shinning in. Didn't like the place at all!
They brought in some great coffee from a local place. Location was okay.
It was gross (very dirty), bed was uncomfortable, no curtain, no phone in our room, gave our room to someone else after we were already checked in, (they resolved the issue, but it took a while, they acted like it was no bid deal), Elevator didn't really work, Ice makers were broke or non-existent, Stairs had trash in them, TV didn't really work, Shower sprayed water everywhere. Overall it wasn't a great stay and we won't go back.
Infused water and coffee in lobby, bar area and parking. Room was clean and beds were comfy.
No cots available. Had a sick child that needed to sleep alone. We ended up having an adult sleep on the floor. Grab and Go breakfast was OK, but fruit looked a little too ripe and no cups were available for coffee..had to go to lobby. Tablecloths were not cleaned off. No one was around manning the station at all to clean or replenish.
Everything was great! Friendly at front desk and in bar/restaurant. Room was clean & big enough, coffee in lobby all day, restaurant had breakfast at $10 for adults & $5 for kids. All we needed was milk for our baby & they gave it to us for no charge. Hotel also had free grab & go breakfast.
Parking lot location was a little hard to find, but might've been my fault. It was fine.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,

Front nine plays in the woods. Trees add some tactical elements to the round. Hole
by Chainshaker1 on Jul 19, 2014 at 2:27am
Front nine plays in the woods. Trees add some tactical elements to the round. Hole
10 is a long downhill throw to a beautiful backdrop. The back nine play long so bring
your cannon. No water but pin placements on the back can add strokes quickly. This
is a really good course.

Monadnock: It's Never Lonely at the Top
Best Berries
It is summer, the season of dog days and lemonade afternoons, and there isn't a cloud in the sky. You are standing at the head of a gentle green hill before countless rows of blueberry bushes heavy with ripe fruit. Behind these, Mount Monadnock rises in the distance. Bucket in hand, you enjoy a morning of premier picking, and find raspberries, blueberry plants, cold drinks, local produce, baked goods, and goats for petting, too. There's even a sandbox for young pickers who run out of steam. Though wild blueberries sing like no other fruit, the varieties cultivated here are the tastiest we've found. Fingertips and tongues may be blue, but your spirit will be just the opposite. Monadnock Berries, 545 West Hill Rd., Troy. 603-242-6417.
