Designer Paint Chip Wall
I have long been an ardent fan of Martha Stewart and was very pleasantly surprised by her newly launched Paint line in conjunction with The Home Depot. The quality of paint, the colors available and even their creative intermixing of colors is brilliant, so whilst standing pondering the colors in the paint section at Home Depot, I realized the gorgeous lift the entire palette had when placed together. Then I came up with this idea just for my BE TREND ME readers.
Cover an ENTIRE wall with the Martha Stewart paint chips, it will be evenly spaced with a 1/2 inch separation held in place with 2 clear push pins (one on the top and one on the bottom of each chip). The trick being is to keep your lines straight both "Up – Down" and "Side to Side". This wall took 300 paint chips (gathered over several visits to The Home Depot) and about 2 hours of time. Don't rush it, simply put your Ipod on and go into a Designer Trance. It is PERFECT as a feature wall in your apartment or bedroom or even a very cool idea for a headboard to go all the way to the ceiling. Send us photos of your work after your done.

This was an incredibly simple recipe. The hardest part was waiting for it to bake..around two hours I believe. We ate it as our main course for dinner and devoured all of it, minus some of the pumpkin flesh from our second helpings. Yeah, I just admitted we are pigs. But it was amazing. Recipe below all these tempting pictures.
Serve this for Thanksgiving. It will be the talk of the table!
Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good
by Dorie Greenspan from Around My French Table
- 1 pumpkin, about 3 pounds
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 pound stale bread, thinly sliced and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/4 pound cheese, such as Gruyère, Emmenthal, cheddar, or a combination, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 2–4 garlic cloves (to taste), split, germ removed, and coarsely chopped
- 4 slices bacon, cooked until crisp, drained, and chopped (my addition)
- About 1/4 cup snipped fresh chives or sliced scallions (my addition)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme (my addition)
- About 1/3 cup heavy cream
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

Victor Montagliani of Burnaby is the new president of the Canadian Soccer Association. The Burnaby Heights resident was elected to a four-year term at its annual general meeting in Ottawa on Saturday.
Montagliani, 46, who previously served three terms as the association's vice-president and was a past chair of the national teams committee, has been a member of the association's executive committee since 2005.
Montagliani is proud of his "soccer guy" moniker.
"Passion and love of the game, I'll take that any time," he said on a Tuesday morning conference call.
Montagliani also brings with him 21 years of business experience in corporate Canada with a commitment to and knowledge of the game at all levels.
"Governance is not simply about management. It requires leadership, passion and a burning desire to deliver excellent outcomes for the Canadian Soccer Association. Leadership is about service, and I am ready to serve," said Montagliani in a press release prior to his election.
Montagliani replaces Dominique Maestracci, who was elected in 2007.
Maestracci was instrumental in securing Canada's successful bid to host the FIFA Women's World Cup 2015, which will include Vancouver as a site city.
As a player and a successful businessman, Montagliani said there are too many structures in the game that have an "instrumental mentality."
He said the game has to change from its cultural past and become more entrepenurial, "ensuring operations and governance are separated."
To that end, the CSA has already begun moving away from the 12 provincial and territorial president format to one that includes six appointed positions. Three additional independent directors will be appointed later this summer.
But Montagliani maintained that grassroots are at the heart of soccer football in Canada.
"The clubs are the backbone of football, period," he said.

Sanitary Sewer Inflow & Infiltration
Sanitary Sewer I & I Overview
Inflow and infiltration refers to rainwater and groundwater that enters the sanitary sewer. A certain amount of I&I is unavoidable and is accounted for in routine sewer design. However, when I&I exceeds design allowances, sewer capacity is consumed and may result in overflows, risks to health, damage to the environment and increasedconveyance costs.
Understanding I&I
- Overview of Sanitary Sewers & Storm Sewers
- Reasons for Reducing I&I
- Common Sources of I&I (PDF )
- Methods of Detecting Sources of I &I
How to Reduce I&I
Sanitary Sewer Maintenance Responsibilities
Homeowners are responsible for maintaining the sewer service laterals on their private property. Municipalities are responsible for maintaining sewers and sewer laterals on public right of ways. Read more
CRD Inflow & Infiltration Program
The CRD's Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) Program was created in the early 1990's as part of the CRD's Core Area Liquid Waste Management Plan (LWMP).
The purpose of the program is to reduce the amount of rainwater and groundwater entering the sanitary sewer system when it is cost-effective to do so. Reduction of I&I in the system lowers the risk of sanitary sewer overflows and can decrease the costs of conveying and treating wastewater.
The LWMP mandates a joint responsibility between the municipalities and the CRD in reducing sanitary sewer I&I.

In order to access the "true" administrator account, rather than an administrative user account, in Home Edition you have to boot into "Safe Mode" to do so.
This is not the case with Pro.

On a similar note: Security sites have been screaming for users to change the name of the admin account (and the quest account) as well as setting passwords for all accounts.
Something along the lines of "Doing half the hackers work for them"...

Dodging detection
The old-fashioned way of testing for MRSA is to plop a sample taken from a person or animal into a dish filled with antibiotics. If the bacteria survives and grows, it has a gene that renders it immune to the drugs. If it dies, then it is a susceptible breed of S. aureus and can be treated with standard antibiotics.
The newer, genetic tests for MRSA are quicker and largely automated, and with their costs quickly coming down, they have been poised to take the place of the culture tests. "Generally, these are incredibly accurate," Holmes said of the genetic tests.
But the new strain indicates that it might be time for a revision of the genetic screening tests—and to not be so hasty to move away from the culture-based tests. A patient with this strain of MRSA tested with the genetic test would be wrongly diagnosed as having a more treatable S. aureus infection and likely given drugs that would prove ineffective.
The gene that evaded the state-of-the-art genetic tests is a remodeled version of the known resistance gene mecA. After sequencing the new strain's genome, however, the researchers found that its mecA gene was only about 60 percent the same as the known version. With so many different base pairs than the target gene, the tests were not catching it—a miss that Holmes equates to searching a digitized text document for a term but spelling it wrong in the search window, thus returning a null result.
In the investigation, 11 of the samples that turned out to be antibiotic-resistant did not have either the old or the new mecA gene, which has Holmes and his team wondering what it is that is making these strains resistant. They are currently sequencing the genomes of these types to try to find out.
Drugged out
The appearance of drug-resistant bacteria of many kinds in humans in recent decades has largely been attributed to the over- and misuse of antibiotics in people. When drugs are not taken to the end of their course or are used for non-bacterial infections such as viral infections, they can kill off weaker bacteria, prompting the stronger ones to survive and propagate. And some can eventually become immune to the drugs entirely.
The situation in the livestock industry has been described in similar terms. In many confined feeding operations, animals are given prophylactic antimicrobials as a matter of course to stave off any infections before they start.
Dairy farmers in the U.K. use antimicrobials to treat the common udder infection mastitis. Holmes explains that farmers are under great pressure to keep their herds healthy despite high production demands. "The majority of farmers are under tremendous financial pressure," he said. "When you drive your cows hard, you get more mastitis." And when their cows get this infection a farmer will naturally want to "use the best tool that they have in their armory to treat those cows."
That the newly described MRSA strain was also found in people in Denmark raised questions for some, given that the country has been at the forefront of reducing antibiotic use in livestock. But because the first isolate from a human in Denmark was from 1975, the strain has been in existence for some time—through some of the high years of antibiotic use in farm animals.
Is antibiotic use in livestock directly responsible for this new strain? "I don't think that can be resolved with this study," Smith says. And the study authors note that with their data they cannot prove that the use of antimicrobials on farms led directly to the development of this new resistant strain. But the correlation has been established in other studies. "It is clear that use of antibiotics in adult dairy cows and other food-producing animals does contribute to increased antimicrobial resistance," concluded the authors of a March review paper published in Foodborne Pathogens and Diseases.
By looking at the limited data they have from their first study, Holmes said the prevalence of this strain "appears to be rising at the moment." He and his team will spend part of the summer sampling more farms and hospitals throughout the U.K. to get a better picture of the strain's prevalence.
Could this strain also be lurking in the U.S.? "I would guess that it is," Smith says. "If we turn over some rocks, I would guess that we would find it." In Denmark, samples from each case of MRSA are collected, providing researchers with a comprehensive view of the disease landscape, but in the U.S. testing is more sporadic.
The new find highlights the need for more widespread testing and a detective hunt to find out where and when this strain emerged, Smith says. And the revelation that dairy herds can carry MRSA also underscores the importance of proper hygiene and animal care, Holmes noted.

Lakin is not bitter over Stanway Rovers sacking
12:56pm Wednesday 2nd October 2013 in Sport
BARRY Lakin is confident his reputation is still intact – despite being sacked by Stanway Rovers.
The former Leyton Orient player was dismissed last Wednesday night, after the club's Essex Senior Cup exit against Barking.
At the time they had only played seven Thurlow Nunn League fixtures.
Lakin said he harboured no bitterness about the decision, although felt he deserved a "little more respect".
He says he will look back on his time at the club with positive memories.
"I feel the decision says more about the club than it does me," he said.
"And I'd like to think my reputation hasn't been damaged or dented by what's happened.
"It's disappointing, of course, because I thought I was near the beginning of a two-year project.
"The playing budget was cut in the summer - which I never made a big thing of - and as far as I was concerned my remit was to keep the club in the division.
"It's been a disappointing start but I'm confident I'd have had the club up in the top ten by Christmas.
"We were in a great position off the pitch, in terms of building up the youth side of things and bringing through a conveyor belt of talent.
"Morale was still very high but I feel as though the rug was pulled from under my feet.
"It still doesn't make sense to me and I felt I deserved a little more respect."

House of Chow Beef is not my favorite, otherwise, we love House of Chow's food -- great take out on a night when we're beat.
anytime I want a good Chinese dinner I go to House of Chow , the hot and sour soup is best in columbia
The menu is always being improved, though we had no complaint with the standard one. Their chef keeps bringing back ideas from China. Local Asian students hang out there -- always a good omen. Amy Chow is our long-time personal friend, but that's not why we're writing this review. The place stands on its merits, well-deserved.
Sorry, the flavors are bland, and the sauces are very tired. No spark coming from this kitchen. There is very nice live piano music on weekends.
My wife and I have been dining in this restaurant for over twenty years. It is operated primarily by members of the Chow family, and the food and service is outstanding! Whether you are going for lunch or dinner, you will not be disappointed. What makes the food so great is that it is all prepared fresh. If you like... More
House of Chow has been here for years and it is always a great source of Asian dishes. My favorite is the fried tofu. I love to go with Asian friends and they order things not on the menu. It is fun to try something other than the same old cashew chicken, etc.
For a restaurant that has been in this location for so long, one might think the place would be run down, but this place gets updated as often as the menu. A favorite for lunch and dinner with a full bar and a menu that offers more than the usual Peking duck and sweet and sour chicken. My family enjoys... More
House of Chow is our Chinese restaurant of choice - good food, reasonable prices and very friendly service.
House of Chow has been a favorite for many years. The selections include some specialties not found everywhere. The chef makes trips to China to add recipes to the selections. You can also find regular dishes like sweet and sour chicken (including Springfield style), orange beef, Peking duck, many vegetarian items. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. This is as... More

State officials dispute account in Swickard column about fire
In his column this week, Michael Swickard argues that it's "time to fire the political fire managers" who he says made "the political decision" to let the Little Bear Fire near Ruidoso continue as a controlled burn instead of putting it out quickly.
That's not what state officials say happened. Gov. Susana Martinez and Eddie Tudor, bureau chief of resource management for New Mexico forestry, held a news conference in Ruidoso to try to stop the spread of rumors. Here's Tudor, as quoted by the Ruidoso News:
"'The question has come up, why wasn't water used, why wasn't a bucket drop used,' he said. Because of the elevation of the fire, 10,500 feet above sea level, helicopters were unable to respond with standard equipment, he said.
"A helicopter had been sent up to the fire within hours of its detection to shuttle the Sacramento Hotshots up to the slopes to begin suppression, he added.
"'Water was never denied on the fire, it was never rejected on the fire, it just had to be taken in a different manner because of the altitude,' he said. 'At that altitude it's really difficult to get equipment off the ground and safely carry it.'
"The judgment call on safety was left in the hands of the experts, the pilots, he said. 'They tried to get off the ground and they just couldn't do it. Quite frankly, we've had some tough weather days up there.'"
Swickard, whose information came from an area volunteer fire chief, argued that the state should take over fire management from the federal government because the federal government was making political decisions.
U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce, R-N.M. has made similar claims to those made by Swickard.

I'm trying to engrave a part number on the side of a 22mm round bar using
the Manual Guide i engraving function on a lathe + live tooling.
I've got it machining the characters in the correct place but the letters /
numbers are all mirrored vertically. ( eg 6 looks like 9 and W looks like a M etc)
The simulation is correct however.
When actually machining, it appears as if all the C axis movements are in the wrong direction.
If any one has experience with this who can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Dave.
Just a follow up in case any one else comes up aginst this problem.
It's parameter 00012 C-axis bit 0 MIR needed to be set to 1
Text on the side of a bar is correct. If I get time I'll do a test on the face to see if that's ok too.

The puppy-pile riff-fest on old-line New York French restaurants, in this Diner's Journal post, is a lot of fun to read. Sam Sifton, who wrote the post, asks at the end for commenters to give their stories of traditional NYC French places, and they do, though what they really provide is a window into a certain restaurant culture, one in which going out to eat equates with advancing yourself – your overall level of "culturedness," as well as your palate. Then showing off about it, natch – "this was as the French say inoubliable," you write, talking about a great suckling pig dish. And of course, as the Times's headline writer slyly implies, as you're telling a friend about that suckling pig, if he lets drop that he hasn't eaten at your beloved boite, you say, "What? You've never been?" Because not to have certain experiences – and thus not to have attained a certain level of culture – is the same as not existing.
Yet you can't be irritated by these commenters' snobbery, or even roll your eyes at it. Why is that? Part of the deal is, this isn't all snobbery – there are plenty of people here who poke fun at themselves, their affreux French and all, and one guy admits to stealing an ashtray from Lutece. But in making my way through even the would-be snootiest comments, I felt a certain affection toward the people who'd written them. Because they're a lot like my mother? O.k. – and a lot like a lot of people, of a certain age, who no longer define much of taste, and so are no threat to my or anyone else's ability to get a good or great meal at a place that's not haut français. People who won't be around much longer, and who, after all, did teach many of us a thing or two about food, and culture, back when. So it's easy enough to see, and share, the enthusiasm that's ultimately at the root of at least a good deal of the snobbery that's here.
And of nearly all snobbery, I think, unlike elitism, which has no aim to instruct. Snobbery, after all, rests on the desire to share the valued thing, whatever it is, with at least some people – not to keep it for oneself – and so the snob needs to tell those people about it, in such a way as to convince them they want it too. A key element of which is to make clear, by implication or saying so outright, that part of what's wonderful about it is that it's better than whatever the alternatives are. Here, that comes through by implication. Talking about a certain type of French restaurant, and its cuisine, is so much a part of the culture of a certain segment of the population, when that group's members do so, they can use a shorthand, certain elements of which serve to establish the superiority of those restaurants and their food, vis-a-vis an unnamed other. Tossing in French phrases, for example, which says, "We understand, you and I, that French is the language of great food, and culture," and therefore English, ultimately, isn't. And so forth. Again, though, even that stuff doesn't bug, anymore, or even inspire any laughter other than a gentle chuckle, at a doddering old uncle who's always been a bit much, but you'll miss him in a few years when he's gone.

My horse had really bad mud fever on his heels in winter until I started using a very expensive product on them to give an antiseptic barrier to the skin. Now I make my own version, Take one 2 litre bottle of liquid parrafin (ask your local pharmacist!) and one tiny bottle of tea tree oil (also from pharmacist, who will have reasonably priced stuff!) and mix them. Apply to lower legs every two or three days, when weather is bad, once a week if dry. It will also make legs easier to clean. One last hint my horse does not have feathered legs, but I still trim his heels/under fetlock to ensure if anything does start up, I know instantly and can treat it before it gets hold. But last winter.......not a sign!

Patient Comments: Thyroid Cancer - SymptomsThe symptoms of thyroid cancer can vary greatly from patient to patient. What were your symptoms at the onset of your disease?
Comment from: Silver Streaks, 65-74 Female (Patient)
Published: May 23
I was diagnosed with two thyroid nodules and goiter three years ago. The doctor did a biopsy, which came back benign. My doctor said I needed to have an ultrasound every six months anyway. Then the ultrasound in December of 2012 showed that the nodule had grown three times its original size. My TSH had gone down to almost nothing, all of a sudden. I selected an endocrine surgeon who removed my entire thyroid, which was now cancerous, and also a benign parathyroid tumor. Then I had to go on the two-week low-iodine diet in preparation for my radioactive iodine treatment. I was in isolation for 24 hours in the hospital and then for a week I had to stay 3 feet away from people. I am still in shock over the whole experience. I go back for a check-up in six months.

I had no symptoms whatsoever of having papillary thyroid cancer. My family doctor diagnosed a small mass in right thyroid area as part of my annual physical. She referred me to an X-ray/ultrasound specialist, who confirmed a cancerous mass. I was then referred to a specialist/surgeon, and received a biopsy to confirm size and stage. I had surgery to remove my total thyroid. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I like many others knew nothing about the lump on my thyroid. I was 32 when diagnosed. After inconclusive needle biopsies it was decided to have a total thyroidectomy. This turned out to save my life. Both follicular and papillary cells were found along with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism. I went through all the radiation and such following the surgery. Since then I take from 275mcg to 350mcg of Levoxyl. Was this comment helpful?Yes

I have an under active thyroid for 6-7 yrs and I find I can't take Eltroxin. I feel edgy frustrated and fatigue, so I stopped taking it. I am now worried I might have thyroid cancer I have a few of the symptoms associated with this disease and I'm very worried and scared to go to a doctor with it because it then becomes very real.

About nine years ago, I had been having a lot of flu-like systems and was tired all the time. I went to the doctor, but he told me my blood tests were fine. He said I was just fat and needed to lose some weight. So, I went to a different doctor, and he said the same thing. By the fifth doctor, I had difficulty swallowing. It felt as if my neck was tighter than normal. I went to another doctor whose nurse practitioner saw me. She instantly saw my neck and asked me how long I had my goiter. At last, someone saw and felt it. She ordered an ultrasound that showed a 6 cm tumor around most of the left side of my thyroid and the needle biopsy showed thyroid cancer. By the time my insurance approved the surgery, five months had passed and the tumor had grown around to attach to the back of my neck. I had a complete thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine treatments. I was put on thyroid supplements and have been doing OK. Just recently, I went in for a test on my stomach and the doctor had them scan my neck. They found a tumor in my lymph node. It's not that big, but it's there. So now we test some more.

When I was 45 years old, I started having numbness over my entire body, and my mouth started to droop, similar to Bell's palsy. One day, I felt entirely strange, and I thought I was having an aneurysm. I called the doctor, and he told me to come in right away. Once I was at the doctor's office, he could feel a large lump on the right side of my neck. I had never noticed it before, but it must have been there, because it was very noticeable. He sent me to a specialist, and through radioactive testing, they discovered it was a nodule on my thyroid. The doctor scheduled me for a thyroidectomy. He said they would check for cancer during the surgery, and if it was cancerous, they would take out the whole thyroid. If it wasn't cancerous, they would only remove half of the thyroid. The primary tests showed no cancer in the large nodule, but later testing showed cancer in the smaller nodules. Ten days later, I had the other half of my thyroid surgically removed. The cancer was papillary and follicular. I did not have any treatments other than surgery, as I was in the very early stages and the cancerous nodule was small. They told me my thyroid was full of nodules. Thyroid problems run in my family, with my sister having Grave's disease at the age of 15. I used to take Synthroid, but now I take Armour on a daily basis. I have less ups and downs with the Armour. Was this comment helpful?Yes

B&Q cuts link with Olympic team
DIY giant ends sponsorship with British Olympic Association due to 'tough retail market'.One of Team B&Q's aspiring Olympians, Blake Aldrige.
Since 2004, the Kingfisher-owned company has supported Team B&Q, a mix of British Olympians, Paralympians and aspiring Olympians.
The aspiring Olympic athletes were employed in B&Q's stores and were given the flexibility to fit training and competitions into their working week.
The team of up-and-coming athletes included World Champion diver Blake Aldridge, who hit the headlines in Beijing with his synchro dive partner 14-year-old Tom Daley, and trap shooter Steve Scott, was ranked number one in the UK in his field.
It was expected that B&Q would renew its sponsorship in the run-up to the 2012 Olympics, which are to be held in London.
B&Q's external relations manager, Jacqueline Caston said: "We enjoyed great internal motivational success trough our partnership with Team GB, but decided not to continue the partnership past the contractual end date of December 31, 2008. In a tough retail market our focus is on delivering great products for customers and direct value to our shareholders."
She added: "We wish everyone at London 2012 the best in delivering what I'm sure will be a fantastic event in four years time."
Last week B&Q announced it was reviewing its £40m advertising contract with JWT. While a shortlist of agencies is drawn up, the company has appointed Rapier to work on a strategic project.

According to a new video featuring drummer Tre Cool and bassist Mike Dirnt, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has been hospitalized until further notice, prompting the band to cancel tonight's show in Bologna, Italy. In the clip, which you can watch below, Dirnt says Armstrong was "rushed to the hospital last night due to illness, and the doctors don't think it's a good idea for him to play today," and that the band will return to Balogna "very soon."
It remains unclear how serious Armstrong's ailment is, but as far as we know, Green Day's forthcoming album trilogy is still completely on. ¡Uno! comes out on September 24, ¡Dos! drops November 12, and ¡Tré! will be released January 14, 2013.

A Closet Grows in BrooklynAt Thelma Golden's apartment, a major renovation made room for all the things that mean the most to her.
The kitchen, which represents about half of Thelma's renovation budget, is equally space-conscious, with a new island (paired with Harry Bertoia stools from Knoll) that not only stores pots and pans but also gives her a place to sit and eat breakfast or read the paper. To offset the island's pricey Corian top, she chose simple, affordable Ikea cabinetry in glossy white lacquer. The cabinets are big enough to hold all the plates she needs, now that her parties are buffet dinners for 25 or 30. But it's the kitchen's closet, she says, that changed her life. Instead of buying staples one at a time to save space, she now buys in bulk—and opens the pantry door to the comforting sight of jumbo detergent jugs and 12-packs of Pellegrino water.

Nice, Stable board for corporate systemsPros: Looking for rock solid replacement boards for Intels diminishing line, this fits the bill. USB 3.0 header for cases that support it, as well as some legacy card slots sometimes needed for specific hardware. Includes parallel port and serial headers on board. Cons: Always update the BIOS in these boards before deploying in a corporate environment. Other Thoughts: Please educate yourself before posting reviews, as stated it's CPU dependant video. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Ignore the other commenterPros: Intel 1155 Motherboards don't usually have integrated graphics (there is an ITX board with gt430). On 1155 the GPU is in the CPU, not in the motherboard chipset. The boards have the ports and wiring available, but lets say I drop in a 3350p well then there is no graphics available out of those ports. You would be required to put in a graphics card. Cons: Asus loves making enthusiast boards, how about some just working boards like ASRock likes to do. SO many bios updates to make ASUS boards stable. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (IndyIndians.com) - After a late-inning power explosion that included four home runs over the seventh and eighth frames sent Monday night's contest into extra frames, first baseman Matt Hague came through with a two-run single in the bottom of the 14th, while four Tribe relievers shut out the Louisville Bats over the final 6.1 innings to give Indianapolis a 6-4 victory at Louisville Slugger Field.
SS Chase d'Arnaud began the game-winning rally in the top of the 14th with a double to left, before CF Gorkys Hernandez reached on a fielding error and stole second to force an intentional walk of the red hot Starling Marte. Then with the bases loaded Hague stepped to the plate and roped what turned out to be a game-winning two-run base knock to left, plating d'Arnaud and Gorkys Hernandez to give the game its 6-4 final.
The contest began as a pitcher's duel as the Indians, on the strength of a first inning RBI base knock from RF Starling Marte, led 1-0 heading into the seventh inning. Overshadowed by the extra-inning heroics, Tribe starter Justin Wilson (6.0 IP, 1 H. 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO) turned in yet another quality start allowing just a single hit over his six innings of work.
However, as the game moved into later innings, both offenses came alive combining for seven runs over the seventh and eighth frames.
The Indians began the late frame scoring when Hague lined a two-out two-run double scoring pinch-hitter Anderson Hernandez and Gorkys Hernandez, who reached on base hit and fielding error earlier in the frame. Hague's two-run two-bagger extended the Indianapolis lead to what looked at the time to be a commanding 3-0 margin.
Yet with Wilson out of the contest for the Indians, the Bats' bats came alive in a big way, beginning with a solo home run by 1B Neftali Soto with one out in the bottom of the seventh that cut the Indians advantage to 3-1. The power surge continued later in the frame when RF Bill Rhinehart evened the score with one swing of the bat launching a two-run longball to right field to plate LF Felix Perez, who had reached on a base hit following Soto's solo shot.
The Indians offense remained resilient taking back the lead with a power burst of their own in the top half of the eighth. With two outs, C Tony Sanchez would connect on his first career Triple-A home run, leaving the yard over the left-center field wall to give the Tribe back the lead at 4-3.
Louisville would, however, come through with a clutch response of their own in the bottom half of the eighth as CF Denis Phipps belted a two-out solo blast to left field for his fifth home run of the season to even the score at 4-4.
Following the late frame longball liftoff, the contest would head into extras, where in the top of the 12th the Tribe looked to be on their way to taking the lead. Marte led off the frame with his third hit of the night, a double to left, and after a fly out moved him over to third, 3B Yamaico Navarro stepped to plate looking the give the Indians the extra-frame advantage. Navarro would lift a fly ball to left field in an attempt to bring home Marte with a sacrifice fly, however Marte would be gunned down on a close play at the plate to send the game further into the night.
Following a late-frame breakdown the Indianapolis bullpen was brilliant as relievers Evan Meek (1.1 IP, 1 H, 1 BB), Duke Welker (2.0 IP, 1 H, 2 SO), Kris Johnson (2.0 IP, 1 H, 1 SO) and Tim Wood (1.0 IP, 1 H, 2 SO) combined for 6.1 scoreless innings of relief. Johnson earned his fourth win of the season with his two scoreless innings of work, while Wood finished out the 14th to earn his 12th save.
After starter Pedro Villarreal (6.1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 5 SO) allowed three runs (one earned) over 6.1 innings, six Louisville relievers combined to allow just two earned runs over 7.2 innings pitched. RHP J.J. Hoover (2.0 IP, 3 SO) and LHP Donnie Joseph (2.0 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 1 SO) each tossed two scoreless frames in a losing effort.
Bats RHP Nick Christiani (1.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 SO) took the loss after surrendering both Indians scores in the 14th frame.
With the victory the Indians (53-31) continue to roll as they have now won six straight overall and eight consecutive on the road. Indianapolis and Louisville will now wrap up the Louisville portion of the home-and-home series on Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. with RHP Rick VandenHurk expected to take the hill for the Tribe and former Indians RHP Sean Gallagher scheduled to make the start for the Bats.
The game will be carried on WNDE 1260 AM-WFBQ-HD2, WNDE.com and via iheartradio, a mobile application for iPhone, Blackberry and Android phones with Howard Kellman and Will Flemming on the call. The pre-game show begins at 6:45 p.m.

This radio is no longer available and has been replaced with the CCRadio-2 (available in Black Mica or Titanium). Click here for more information.
The CCRadio plus is the perfect tool for listening to news, advice, entertainment and sports. It's a reflection of C. Crane's commitment to the significance of radio in America and the special role radio plays in our homes and in our lives. When you turn on your radio, it should pull in all the information from the airwaves and deliver it to your ears with the highest quality reception and audio possible. That's why we design and build our own radios, and why we'll continue the legacy that started with the CCRadio, and grew into the CCRadio plus.
When you turn on your CCRadio plus, you may notice the speaker sounds different from other radios you've used before. We use a speaker and audio amplifier that are specially tuned to the human voice. When you tune to your favorite station, the signal meter and fine-tuning knob verify that your reception is always at its best. With today's updated NOAA radio service, the built-in Weather Radio works as an "all hazards" information radio. So, in addition to your local weather forecasts, you can use the weather band and weather alert feature to track any significant events that affect your area.
Other features include: Display light, and 5-memory preset buttons with 5 memories per band — AM, FM, Weather and TV Audio for channels 2-13, adjustable bass and treble, clock alarm, sleep timer, auto scan, stereo headphone jack. Weight: 4 lbs (without optional batteries) Size: 11" W x 6.5" H x 4" D.
The CCRadio plus was specifically engineered to receive distant and weaker AM stations. The combination of precise digital tuning, ferrite antenna, and advanced circuitry provide exceptional long range AM reception. Audio is tuned for the human voice. It has many other useful features, but the biggest difference you will notice is on the AM band.
If your present radio works a little bit on the station you like you will probably be very happy with the CCRadio plus. The CCRadio plus is the most powerful AM radio that you can buy, so it is worth trying in your office environment. A typical office has many different sources of AM interference. Computers, fluorescent lights, and many electronic devices cause noise that can override AM reception. Many times, the problem of electrical noise cannot be solved by any AM radio. The Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna should be considered at that time. For more information on this topic, check our Radio Noise Tips.
Yes, the headphone jack is stereo. It is 1/8" (3.5 mm), 32 ohm jack.
A fresh set of 4 "D" Alkaline Batteries will last more than 250 hours.
The Weather Alert diminishes battery power on CCRadio plus. Instead of lasting 250 hours, a fresh set of 4 ""D"" Alkaline Batteries will last about 170 hours when both radio and WX alert are on. Current draw of the radio is 60-70mA at low to moderate volume. The current draw of the radio when it is off but with WX alert activated is 26mA. It is best to use the weather alert when the radio is plugged in. If the power goes out and batteries are installed, the CCRadio plus automatically switches to DC power to keep the weather alert activated.
A fresh set of NiCad batteries (4000 mA) will last about 50-60 hours.
If you use C. Crane's AC charging adapter from the CCRadio plus Solar Kit, it takes about 27 hours to charge 4 "D" size NiCad batteries.
150 mA.
If you use the CCRadio plus Solar Kit, it takes 67 hours of full sunlight to charge 4 "D" size NiCad batteries.
No. The snooze feature only works when the alarm is set to beep. The snooze feature does not work when the alarm is set to the radio.
The power cord is 6 feet long.
Yes. Replacement whip antennas can be ordered by calling us at 1-800-522-8863. The part number is #CWA and the cost is $9.95. Installation is simple and instructions are included, or the instructions can be downloaded here.
Yes. This antenna jack has been greatly improved over the previous model. We recommend attaching at least 50 feet of 20-gauge insulated wire to the radio's "EXT AM ANT" jack. It works best if the wire is at least 6 feet above the ground. If you are using the CCRadio plus in a brick building or mobile home, then we recommend running a wire outside away from the building. You will not get very good results if you just run a wire along the metal structure or along the side of the building. In areas with lightning, this could be dangerous so proper lightning protection should be implemented by a professional. In lightning areas, consider the Twin Coil Ferrite AM Antenna.
In a noisy environment, it can be used to reduce radio noise and static. Use 20-gauge insulated wire to connect it to a pipe or to an 8 foot copper rod driven into the ground.
Plug a device, such as a portable CD player, into the "AUX IN " jack, located on the back of the radio. Then hold down the "Band" button for three seconds. The radio will beep and you will see the word "AUX" in the display.
The VersaCorder 1/4 Speed Tape Recorder is the perfect complement to the CCRadio plus. You have several options for connecting the CCRadio plus to the VersaCorder. One option is to set the timer on the CCRadio plus to control the VersaCorder. Another option is to set the timer on the CCRadio plus and also set an independent timer on the VersaCorder.
You will need a 1/8" stereo x 1/8" stereo patch cord. These can be purchased from C. Crane Company or you can probably get one made at your local Radio Shack or audio electronics store. Once you have activated your XM Radio, connect one end of the patch cord to the line out jack of the XM Radio. Connect the other end to the green AUX IN jack on the CCRadio plus. With the power on press and hold the Band/AUX button until you hear a short beep and AUX appears on the display, then turn on the XM Radio.
Yes. It is a single stage receiver with 1 RF Amp.
If (under normal use) you are having display problems with your original CCRadio, we want to take care of you. Please contact one of our customer support specialists at 1-800-522-8863 so they can troubleshoot and decide the best way to handle your repair.
Rechargeable batteries will NEVER show a full charge on your radio display. Most of our radios are calibrated to read the charge of your Alkaline batteries - which is 1.5 volts at full charge. Rechargeable batteries, however, are fully charged at just 1.25 Volts, and so your radio will show a partial charge even if the rechargeable batteries have been fully charged.
5", 4 Ohm, 6W
This is by design. One bar will never display on the battery meter.
It is very rare for the CCRadio plus to need to be reset. The CCRadio plus doesn't scramble in a way that requires battery/power removal and sitting for any amount of time.
Nicad batteries will NEVER show a full charge on the display. When the display shows 2 bars, the NiCad batteries are fully charged. This is due to the fact that NiCad batteries are fully charged at 1.25 volts, and alkaline batteries are fully charged at 1.5 volts.
The LCD is designed to be viewed perpendicularly or from above. Looking at it from below gives a faded display effect.
The radio needs to be returned for repair.
Different bands do draw different currents.
Low batteries. Square shows on LCD battery display.
NOTE: Different bands do draw different current.
Check to see if batteries are installed correctly. If batteries are installed correctly, it could be a problem with the radio or the solar panel (if attached).

Hello, About 4 years ago I was looking for a portable radio to replace the one we had in the kitchen; failing after 20 years. I found one on Amazon but then looking at the picture of the radio I saw your logo and then found your website. I then order it from you cheaper than on Amazon and with free shipping. Your rep also assured me that it would arrive in time for Christmas; it did. We have been very satisfied with it. Yesterday our NYC classical station WQXR moved from 96.3 to 105.9 a much weaker station; only 600watts. Living 34 miles from the Empire State building we thought we would have only fair reception with out possibly an outdoor antenna. Well below is my first day report posted on the WNYC-new owner-Listeners Forum.
"Reception in Massapequa Park-34 mi. out on LI Kitchen-C .Crane Radio--excellent Bed Room-Bose Radio-good--needs antenna Living Room--30 year old Onkyo receiver-no reception-106.1 completely overpowers 105.9 So thankfully the change over wasn't as bad as I though it would be."
So again Crane comes through. You tout voice reception but music reception has always been fine. I also noted that the person posting before me also noted that while living in a fringe area his reception on his Crane radio was very good. So, no complaint, just want you to know people appreciate your products. I think I have an antenna for my Bose radio somewhere, but if not I'll be in touch.
Dear C. Crane,
I moved to Delaware 10 years ago from New York. Being a huge N.Y. Yankee fan I wished for an AM radio powerful enough to pick up the Yankee broadcasts 300 miles away. I purchased a CC Radio Plus as it was said to be the best. To my utter amazement I plugged it in and heard my first Yankee radio broadcast in 10 years loud and clear! However, when I moved the radio to my bedroom where its permanent location is all I heard was a loud hum. I read the troubleshooting section in the owners manual and found a faulty electrical switch. A radio problem and electrical problem solved. Thank you C. Crane. Go Yanks!!
We live in far western North Carolina, near the Tennessee line at 4000 feet and happen to love talk radio. AM reception up here is very poor. These radios are great for AM and FM is not to be sneezed at either. Yes it is mono through the one well-tuned, large speaker but it features line-out and headphones-out jacks, and supplies stereo feeds on FM and also has a line in which can input a stereo signal. Other features too including terminals for antennas, weather band warning and what is now an almost worthless TV band. Since we still get some of these mountain TV retransmissions in analog, we still get a TV station or two but that is a non-feature now.
We use ours in conjunction with an FM transmitter using the line out to retransmit AM-talk to the whole house on a free FM channel. We love it. This radio has specific applications and fills them well. We take both radios with us during our winter RV trips.
The display has been an issue on both CCRadio Pluses. CCrane replaced them for free (other than the UPS charge for me to get the radios to them for repair).
I would buy another for my applications but two is enough.
I am the proud new owner of the "CCRadio plus" and I couldn't be more satisfied. I purchased the radio for selfish reasons. Our family had planned a camping trip to a remote area. Our group consisted of 6 families comprised of 12 adults, two dogs, and a couple of million kids. I was very much looking forward to the experience with one exception. The Cubs and Cardinals had a three game series that weekend. I figured that if I had a capable radio and earbud, I could appear to be joining in on the campfire activities while in reality be very much immersed in the games. So I did my research and ended up with the CC Radio plus and the Voz earpiece. Took it out of the box right before heading to the campsite. Not only did it work beyond my expectations, it impressed me with it's quality. The one thing I appreciated the most was the "voice" tuned speaker. I had never realized that the typical "music" oriented speaker muddied the spoken voice so much until I heard the Crane alternative. Realize that Ron Santo (Cub announcer) can be hard to understand even with state of the art equipment. However, my little scheme didn't work out too well. A couple of guys noticed that I was plugged in and asked what I was listening to. When I told them it was the Cub/Card game, they insisted that I pull the plug~~~and go to the speaker. So we all sat around the campfire listening to the Cubs getting brutalized once again. As a final note, I didn't even pay any attention to the weather channel offerings of the radio. Didn't care. Until the next day when we noticed that the sky was a greenish black. I tuned in the closest weather station and was informed that a flock of tornados was headed our direction and that we probably wouldn't be all that safe in the southeast corner of our tents. So we broke camp and headed home. Everyone was in a funk on the way home because of the busted weekend. I, however, was in hog heaven with the Voz clipped to my left ear keeping me up to date on that days Cub thrashing. Thanks for providing great products.
"I am 49 now, and I have been a serious radio listener and Dx'r since I was 7 or 8 years old. I have always tinkered with audio electronics, and have also been an engineer with a well known broadcast console manufacturer for over 23 years. I want to command you on the design and implement of what is the best radio that I have ever purchased the CCRadio plus. I have heard them all, and owned many dozens of portable, table and "HiFi" radios and tuners. It is obvious that some serious collaboration and ingenious thought went into this design. I would not know where to start with all of the features that I like. I do know that during the first few weeks of enjoying it, when I asked myself "but will it do this" it did it, and more. I hesitated to buy this radio after hearing about it on Art Bell's program after I discovered the price. After reviewing the catalog and website, I had to try it all after many disappointing purchases from the standard retail outlets. I must try to comment about a few features anyway. I like the ergonomics and layout of all of the buttons and controls. Everything can easily be set, changed, or adjusted from a bedside, in the dark. The sound quality is very good for talk or music with a well matched amplifier and speaker. The display is easy to read and provides good feedback of all of the functions. Probably my favorite is the stepped tuning function and feel, along with up/down tuning buttons, and especially the fact that you can really listen in while tuning for Dx'ing purposes without hard muting and without overwhelming noise at the same time. It picks up stations very cleanly like no other radio that I own, and I am in a marginal listening area here near the east coast of North Carolina. I like the way the volume level is very well calibrated and has good range and accuracy at low listening levels. I like to see separate Bass and Treble controls, even though I have yet to need to use them on this radio. The multidirectional FM antenna and external AM antenna are welcomed features. I will stop here, but all of the other features are appreciated. I cannot find anything that I do not like about this radio. It is the radio that I have been waiting for.Best Regards,"
"I received your $159.95 CCRadio plus (AM/FM/TV etc.) It is, without a doubt, the BEST AM broadcast receiver I've ever owned --- and I've owned many. Here in Red Bluff, AM stations such as those in San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, fade out, and stay out for several minutes. I gave up listening to talk during late evenings. Your radio has changed all of that. Not a single station of my choice faded away for well over two hours last night. I couldn't be happier. C. Crane has come up with a winner...The radio is the greatest!!"
"C. Crane,
let me comment on CCRadio plus.Bravo! Truly amazing. For its light weight, power, features, sensitivity, three minute time to apply power to the RAM, quality of sound, TV band, weather alert system, clock radio, memory channels & much much more; I am very pleased with your radio. I am going to keep it and not exercise your 30-day return policy. In fact, I am seriously thinking of buying one for my best friend as an X-mas gift. Will I be too late??? I love the TV band option. This way I can hear McNeal Lehrer on Channel 9 (nine) while I am downstairs working in my kitchen a nice compliment to my collection of radios! Thanks for a "great piece" of electronic equipment! In modern $$ (dollars) it is worth every penny.Respectfully,"
"C. Crane Company
I just have to write you to tell you what a great radio you have in the CC Radio. I have owned a CCRadio for 5 years now. I was recently packing for a trip to the river when I placed my radio on top of my truck. I finished putting gear into the truck, closed the door and took off. Well, about three blocks from home I heard something hit the bed of my truck. I looked in the rearview mirror and to my horror I saw my CCRadio hit the pavement, bounce a few times and slide down the street about a hundred feet. my first thought was, " I guess I"ll go ahead and order a CCPlus because that radio is finished." I got out, picked up the radio,batteries and battery cover.When I got to the river I put the batteries in thinking this thing will never play again. To my suprise it worked perfectly! The only damage is a couple of small scratches. Absolutly amazing! Not only the best AM radio, but the tuffest too!
Thanks for great radios,"
"Dear C. Crane,
I put the CCRadio plus at the top of my Christmas wish list and my family bought one for me. It absolutely lives up to your advertised claims. It is a joy to use. From Indianapolis, I've pulled in stations from Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, St. Louis, Washington D.C. and beyond: this from inside an aluminum sided house! Now I have a choice of stations to listen to at night (I like using my radio with a pillow speaker). It is simple and easy to use, and the "heft" and feel of the radio is very solid. The sound quality is great, not just for talk radio but also for music. I'm grateful the radio has stereo out on the headphone jack. I have tried several radios... and none have the sound quality, reception quality or durability that this radio has. One of the reasons I wanted this radio was to end the cycle of searching for just the right radio for portability and bedside listening.
Thanks so much for a great product, and a good value. God Bless,"
"Dear Friends,
I just unpacked my new CCRadio plus and I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself
I'll admit I had a few reservations about investing $159.00 for a portable radio not anymore. The Plus is simply a fine piece of equipment well worth the purchase price. I'm impressed with the look, feel and sound. The controls are well thought out and easy to operate and I really liked the fact that it didn't require a degree in electronics to set it up. I had mine programmed in about five minutes and it REALLY does provide a better listening experience. Both the AM stations in my area are a bit fuzzy at night but the sound from the Plus is clear and crisp. The FM sounds great too! I can't wait to dial up my favorite talk shows tomorrow morning!
Thanks for offering such a fine product."
I can't say enough about this radio! Your book says that if you can even hear a station faintly, this radio would make a big difference. I'll be honest with you, the stations I wanted to listen to out of Toronto I couldn't even hear before. I'm a good four and a half to five hour's drive from Toronto (about 250 miles east, over HILLY terrain known as the Canadian Shield.) and this little gem is recieving the 4 main stations I wanted with no external antenna. Thank you. I don't often (well, never) contact companies to help them sell a product but this thing is absolutely amazing! Thanks again
I just wanted to thank you for one of the best Christmas presents I have every received, a new CC Radio Plus. I have lived in a very difficult reception area between Sydney and Canberra in Australia, and the CC Radio Plus enables me to receive 2UE Sydney crystal clear at night and 2CC Canberra during the day. I emailed technical support at C Crane to see if I could use a 6V DC adaptor to run off the 240V AC, the answer was yes, and I can confirm it works very well without the need for batteries. My previous radio looked like the CC Radio Plus, but was clearly a 'base' version from another supplier, it didn't have the external aerial or audio adaptors at the back, nor did it have the receiving power of the CC Plus. Thank you again for providing me with a superior radio that is not available in Australia.
I just wanted to let CCRANE know that the CCRADIO PLUS helped us get through the last 13 days. I am a member of the New Orleans Police Dept. for the past 28 yrs. I have been working in the city from day one. Before I reported for duty on Sunday, August 28th, 2005, I disconnected the CCRADIO PLUS from my VersaCorder and packed it in my bag. We lost the use of our police radios and cell phones of early Monday, August 29, 2005. We were able to stay up with current events by listening to the CCRADIO PLUS, a rumor was started that a second hurricane was in the gulf but I used the weather alert to verify that the rumor was not true. I also used the television channels and on several nights when I had to sleep in the police cruiser I used the alarm feature to wake me up. This radio should be standard issue for all police officers working natural disasters.
Dear Sir,
The CCRadio Plus is the finest radio I have ever seen. Sturdy and well built, it has a powerful sound combined with carefully designed features. It is easy to tune and the five reset buttons are a real plus. The lighted display readily shows stations and time. Your fine tuning knob brings in stations strong and clear with no fading. I live in a Philadelphia suburb and listen to a radio station from Lousivlle, Kentucky with ease. It is simply the best product on the market for radio listeners. Thank you C Crane Co!
Hello, I heard about your radio listening to Art Bell on Coast to Coast. Now that George Nori took over I still am an avid late night AM radio fan. Your radio lets me finally hear clearly what they are saying. I received it today for my Birthday and I love it !
Thanks again,
I have a local AM radio station that I had been unable to receive reliably and really wanted and needed to hear. I had only found one radio that would pick it up at all and it was intermittent and very weak and hard to hear. I heard about CCRadio plus in an advertisement on another local radio station and decided to give it a try. It is the only radio I have ever found that consistently gets that difficult station strongly.
Thanks for the great product.
We do not own a TV and depend on radio for news, weather and entertainment. Been a long-time listener of the Art Bell/George Noory program. When I heard about your CC Radio Plus I decided to order one and never regretted it. The only improvement I can think of is a digital recorder to record our favorite programs.
When the local station decided to drop Coast to Coast I complained, to no avail. I searched and found Coast to Coast on a North Carolina station. Never in my wildest dreams did I believe I could tune in to North Carolina!
A few months later, another local station picked up Coast to Coast. I listen at night with pillow earphones and find it easy to operate the radio in the dark. The pre-set feature and the weather station is vital to those living in the hurricane state of Florida.
I bought a second CC Radio Plus because the first one I bought was so impressive. A buddy also bought one after I lent him one to try because he had been looking for something that would pull in stations he liked that were hard to listen to. These radios are the best I've ever owned and have a tremendous clear and full sound. I love the clock radio capability and the audio and recording jacks on the back as well as the headphone jack. I use them to record late night programs and even to play CDs through the radio speaker. This radio does it all. Please don't change a thing on it. Am about to buy a 3rd one to put in my shop. I guarantee anyone who buys one will not be disappointed in the slightest with it's performance or its versatility.
I got a "CCRadio plus" when the plus first came out some years ago for Christmas. I heard about it on the old Dreamland show with Art Bell on my (at the time) great alarm clock static radio. It was the best Christmas gift I ever ask for. It has been with me loyally every night with my pillow speaker since. If you would like to have a quality Radio no exceptions then get one you will never part with it.The sound is great. If you took me to a store full of radios I would pick the CCRadio plus any day.
For years I would listen to coast to coast am radio being broadcast on a station located in Charlotte NC The fade out was often and bothersome but it was the best I could do with my radio at the time. I live in Baltimore County Md and finally decided to take Art Bell's advise and purchase a CCRADIO. I am proud of my decision. The fade out is gone and I now have two CCRADIOS and am considering purchasing another one. If you like radio listening the CCRADIO will do you proud. Now coast to coast am is broadcast in Baltimore City but at times it is preempted by an event so I just tune in to the station in Charlotte NC.In addition C Crane Co. has never let me down with all the products I have purchased from them. Bob Crane even personally called me in response to a letter I mailed to C Crane Co. We are fortunate to have such an honorable company to deal with.
LOVE THIS RADIO!! I have wanted this radio for years and finally my wonderful new wife bought it as a Christmas present. For anyone who is into radio, or someone who is not but Loves someone who is this is the Ultimate Radio. I am getting stations that I never heard of New Orleans San Antonio Chicago are some so far. I live in Omaha so I was quite surprised. Even on the weak stations the sound quality is almost equal to our local fifty thousand watt boomer 1110 KFAB NO KIDDING. And you are serious when you say the speaker is tuned to the human voice. Thank you very much for this wonderful gift of radio.
I just made it to my office which has power. I own the CCRadio Plus and I have loved it since the day I bought it. The reception is great and I have picked up AM stations very strongly from well over 1000 miles away on certain nights. Just a few days ago, Missouri has been hit with the largest natural disaster the state has ever seen when over 200,000 people in the state lost power due to an ice storm. People were hurrying to buy C and D batteries and they were virtually impossible to find. I have the same pair of batteries that I have had in my radio for about 6 months now. While I keep my radio plugged in while at home, I have used it quite often on battery power at work. My radio is still on the original set of batteries after the ice storm hit and 3 1/2 days of very heavy battery use. I don't know how much longer they will last, but I have finally obtained another set of D batteries. I have been told it could be well over a week before I get my power back, and I am not the least bit worried about my CCRadio Plus running out of juice.
The GE Superadio III is a good radio that has been around for a long time, but is showing its age. The analog dial isn't as precise as more modern digital tuners, and while the woofer/ tweeter speakers are wide range, the radio tends to overload, even in a suburban environment. The CCRadio plus, on the other hand, is a modern, digitally-tuned receiver that performs well on the high end of the broadcast band - where the GE Super does not. If you want a boom box to blast out a station ten miles away, this is where the GE is at its best. On the other hand, if you want to pick out weak signals, the CC Radio Plus clearly comes out on top. One winter evening I was able to listen to WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio from the mountains of Colorado. Not a bad catch given that the station was 1100 miles away.
Read Rob Sherwood's complete evaluation of the CCRadio Plus vs. GE Superadio III.
With the CC Radio Plus, I have not only heard stations such as KFI in LA to stations in the Caribbean. This radio is the best for long distance reception.
In the day, here in Pittsburgh, I can hear stations in Detroit, Buffalo, and Cincinnati, all from 2 to 3 hundred miles away. This radio is so good that I am going to purchase 1 or 2 more. Thank you for a great product and the delivery and service was above all excellent. I will always be a loyal customer of the C Crane Co.
I have purchase a lot of Radios in the last 60 years had nothing like C C Radio Plus. I really like the memory locations I can reach up and change them at night real easy. I all so like the weather band, Heck I love the Whole radio with every on it and the pillow speaker to ..
So it should go as no surprise that I bought the personal FM Transmitter to broadcast from the PC throughout the house. I have had a Belkin which does a fine job but currently runs on batteries only - rechargable of course. Some friends with a much smaller home liked my setup and wanted me to help do that in their home. So I've given them the batteries and the Belkin and gotten the CCrane unit!
There were very few dead spots with the old Belkin, and I could hear the broadcasts -- but just barely -- from the neighbor's pool deck. I should NOT have been surprised that the CCrane unit gives me reception to every square foot of my entire over 1/4 acre property -- despite advertising only 30' to 70' 'line of sight'. And with the CCRadioPlus, I don't even need to extend the antenna until I am outside and many feet away from the source! The signal is clear as a bell (no pun intended, Art -- but it DOES fit) to the other side of both neighbors.
I'm glad I got these from you, and have just ordered the CCRadioSWP … can't wait to get it and then I'll be complete (for a few months anyway). I look forward into delving into Shortwave listening and will likely get the CCRadioSW at some point. It is just a great product and despite typical warranty terms I'd bet these devices will be working well into this 21st century!
Thanks for providing your great products at very fair prices.
I have had my cc plus radio about four years now, love it to death! listen to kgo san francisco all the time and with my other radio I couldn't even get that station. have used it camping with the batteries and it does just as good, went on a ten day backpacking trip in the oregon cascades and took the radio with us as it has a excellent weather station,yes it was heavy to pack but well worth the extra weight, we had kgo up on the middle sister in the cascades. I also have the led treck flashlight, what a light!, it goes on every backpacking trip right on the side of my pack, don't know what I did tell I got them both. if you want to spend your money on a good light or radio do it on the cc. plus you wont regret it. my backpackin friend just ordered hers for this summer hikes. thanks for the great product, it does everything you said it would.
I bought the CCRadio Plus and it is wonderful. It is easy to set up. I can't stop talking about it. I have told my family about it.
I just received my CC Radio back from repair I was amazed that you covered my 2 plus years old radio under warranty and not only repaired the display (what I sent it in for) but also replaced the RF-module which I didn't realize was bad. The radio works like new and now that I have it back I realize how much I missed that radio. Your products and service are the best I've ever seen. Keep up the good work. I remain a loyal customer. Browsing through your new catalog I see quite a few innovative and exciting new products. I'm sure a few of then will reside in my home soon.
Best regards
Please add my name to the list of happy customers who own the C. C. Radio Plus. When it came today, I immediately unpacked it, set it up as per instructions and voila! It is everything you advertise, I can hardly wait until tonight when I can try the night performance, but it already surpasses the typical test. There is one station, KIRO AM Seattle, that suffers from interference in all the radios I own, it comes in perfectly clear on the CCR Plus. I like the way it stays put as well, good weight, rubber feet, it's not about to fly away or slip off the table, especially with those 4 D Cells in it:-).
WOW! Why did I wait so long??? I just got my CCRadio Plus and I've been thrilled with the quality and the kind of stations it has pulled in. I live near Micky Mouse in FL and I picked up New Orleans and Cincinnati last night! I usually listen to a small radio at night as I drift off to sleep. I had to replace that radio about a year ago and thought about buying a CC radio, but the price stopped me from acting. I haven't been happy with the reception I been getting with my small and FINALLY decided to buy a CCRadio Plus.
I'm VERY IMPRESSED! It is designed with nighttime users in mind. All the dials and controls are intelligently laid out and the different size and shapes makes it easy to turn the right dial in the dark. I can't believe all the features it has- like setting time when it will go on and off, so you don't miss a favorite show!
I also got the CCRadio Plus Enthusiast Kit and I highly recommend it. each of the items in the kit (Carry Case, and the book - Radio on the Road) are quantity items.
CCranes: You have a loyal customer. THANKS!
