With its durable unibody enclosure, LED-backlit display and Multi-Touch trackpad, MacBook Pro looks beautiful. And works beautifully.
Strength. Lightness. Beauty. Seamlessly integrated.
MacBook Pro is machined from a single piece of aluminium, an engineering breakthrough that replaced many parts with just one. It's called the unibody. And the first time you pick up a MacBook Pro, you'll notice the difference it makes. The entire enclosure is thinner and lighter than other notebooks. It looks polished and refined. And it feels strong and durable — perfect for life inside (and outside) your briefcase or backpack.
A display full of bright ideas.
Everything Apple designers and engineers do, they do for a reason. They chose LED backlight technology for the MacBook Pro because it makes the display instantly bright and allows it to be incredibly thin. They used edge-to-edge glass not just because it looks beautiful, but because it lends structure to the display. And at the top of the screen, they hid the built-in FaceTime HD camera. So you see your friends and family in big, beautiful widescreen — and as little of the camera as possible.
Multi-Touch trackpad. It just feels right.
The Multi-Touch trackpad has no button because it is the button. That means there's more room to track and more room to click — left, right, centre and everywhere in between. Apple designers and engineers spent countless hours considering things like sensitivity (how much pressure triggers a click?), audio feedback (what does the click sound like?) and friction over the smooth glass surface (what does it feel like?). The result is a trackpad that just makes sense to you — and your fingers.
Plenty of ways to plug in.
With MagSafe power, Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800, Thunderbolt, USB 3, SDXC and audio in/out, MacBook Pro gives you just about every connection and port you might need.

We got this for my newborn son's nursery. It's so much more cool looking than a clunky grandma-style glider. I wanted a piece of furniture that I would love to have around after our need to rock is finished -- this chair is perfect! We've rocked our way through his first six months -- the rocker rails give a very nice rock and it's even comfortable for my 6 foot 2" husband who weighs, er, over 250... In fact, it's my husband's favorite place to soothe baby. Diminsions are small on this chair -- but that is due to the Eames original design (you can find a certified replica on Design within Reach for over $400 and it's the same specs.) The seat itself is average sized -- the small part is the height of the chair. As long as you know it's not going to be a tall seat, you should be fine. Gorgeous white design -- we get lots of compliments; plus the small size doesn't take up too much room in the nursery, and is even easy to move to other rooms if we occasionally need to. I've even nursed in this chair comfortably!
I don't understand all the reviews of people stating the chair is small. If you're looking for a knock off of the Herman Miller Eames chair, this is EXACTLY it. So, if that's what you're looking for it's not small. I loved the Eames chair so I think it's perfect.
I love this chair-we have a mid-century house but short on cash to decorate it. The chair is very cool and only took like 10 minutes-if- to put it together. We put it in our living room and everyone comments on how cool it is. I would highlly recommend this product to anyone else-if your house or condo is modern and you are into classic modern statement pieces but short on cash-which everyone is these days- go for this chair.
I used to sell the real, designer-made version of this at a furniture store in California. So many people came in and said it was too expensive for them to spend on children's furniture but the thing is this is not child-sized! It's not sized for large adults, but average to small adults (remember the real thing was made in the mid-1900s when there weren't a lot of overweight and obese individuals!). That being said, I've always wanted one but didn't have the budget so I scooped this up in a flash. It's strikingly similar to the one I sold years ago.
This is a lovely reproduction of the classic Eames rocker - white plastic as per the chairs for years now. Nice wood rocker base, and great seat. It is a small chair, as others observed, BUT it is the right size - the original size. If you want a bigger chair, one higher off the ground, or that supports your back, get one of those. This is a design classic, 1:1 scale with the original. very good price, nice finish quality. one of the four screw holes on the chair was out of line to connect with the base, but worked sufficiently for me. We will use ours as a nursing chair, but we are not very tall people. we love it.
Was redoing my guest bedroom and changing the style to an mix of modern and transitional. Needed a cool chair and had seen this before but didn't have a spot in my house to put it until I did the bedroom. Can't beat the price point, it's an imitation of a much more expensive chair and it's great! Very happy with my purchase....fits the space perfectly, I didn't want anything too large but wanted something to make a statement. The scale of the chair is the same as the very expensive version. I am 6' tall female and it's a comfortable chair for me to sit in.......great buy!!!!
Great Rocking chair. The small size of this rocker works perfectly in my teen's bedroom measuring 6 x 11'. There is enough clearance for a twin bed & the rocker off to the side. The rocker is good quality & comfortable. It is not padded but the plastic seat is well shaped.
This chair was way smaller than I was expecting. It is more a child's size. It was dwarfed by the size of my sofa so it didn't look right at all. Also, it came with a stain on the seat, so I returned it. Quality was fine otherwise, just really small.
We really love this chair, very modern. We use in baby room and it's perfect size for us to sit in and our toddler can climb in alone. Looks great and good quality. I didn't give 5 stars because the seat is very matte finish and I think that if it gets anything (like crayon /marker etc) on it, it would be difficult to clean. But that hasn't happened yet, so not sure.
This is a high-quality piece of stylish furniture. The main question the reviews here try to address: Is this seat too small for an adult? The answer:Yes and no. This is not a question of corn-fed Americans being too husky for slick euro-design. The seat itself is wide and deep and accommodating enough for most adult rear ends. It's molded perfectly and is very comfortable to sit in. The back isn't very high, but other than that, it's a perfect seat. The problem is how short the rocking legs are. Your rear sits about 13-14 inches off the ground. Measure a typical chair in your home and you'll see that this is a very low-to-the-ground chair. Normal adult legs are too long for the chair. When rocking, you will either have your knees bent so the bottom half of your legs are underneath the chair, or extended far out. Unless you're pretty darn short (I'm 5'7), your legs will not bend at a 90 degree angle. This isn't exactly uncomfortable, but it isn't optimal either. We bought it for our nursery, as many others have. It will be a great chair for our daughter's room as she grows up. It looks great, so I have no regrets buying it, but it would look silly in a room of 'adult' furniture due to its height. In sum, the chair is best for children or the very short (5' tall), but will be fine in a pinch for those taller than us.

Fluffy, soft & Durable
By Mama Bubs
from Mission Viejo, CA
These are honestly the best baby washcloths I've ever used. Too many that I have seen are small, flimsy, sometimes even scratchy from all the strange designs on them. But these are soft, durable, fluffy, and clean so nice.

Nice Quality, Nice Size
By Hickorynut

i wasn't sure how thick these would be. some baby washcloths are very thin and hard to hold onto. these are a very nice 10" square, and the material is soft and much better quality than some of the other baby rags in the stores. the color is soft and pretty as well. i am really happy with this purchase.

WEB EXTRA Read The ENTIRE POLL |
Exclusive WBEN Audio On The WBEN Liveline: |
Quinnipiac Pollster Tim Maloney |
(CBS News) Less than half of Pennsylvanians say the NCAA sanctions levied against Penn State in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal were too severe, according to a Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times poll released Thursday.
The poll found that 44 percent of respondents thought it was too severe for the association to impose on the football program a multi-year bowl ban, the loss of 112 wins, a $60 million fine and a reduced number of future scholarships. By contrast, 33 percent of those polled said they thought the penalties were appropriate, and another 14 percent said they weren't severe enough.
The NCAA imposed a multi-year bowl ban on Penn State, invalidated 112 wins, fined the school $60 million and took away future scholarships. The university leadership said the alternative could have been a complete ban on playing games and has acquiesced to the penalties.
Wednesday, the NCAA announced it had picked former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell of Maine to monitor Penn State's compliance with the sanctions.
Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts of child sexual abuse, including attacks on boys inside athletics facilities at Penn State, where he played college football and became a successful defensive coach under Joe Paterno.
The university leadership said the alternative could have been a complete ban on playing games, and has acquiesced to the penalties.
Households with a former Penn State graduate or a current attendee were more critical than others of the sanctions: a slight majority of 52 percent said the penalties were too severe.
Nevertheless, a majority of Pennsylvania residents think that major colleges and universities should place less importance on their athletic programs. Just 33 percent don't think so. Pennsylvania residents with college degrees are even more likely to think there should be less importance placed on athletic programs at that level - 70 percent think so, compared to 57 percent of those who don't have college degrees.
Even a majority of those who think the NCAA sanctions on Penn State were too severe still said there should be less importance placed on college athletics
Sandusky is distraught over the NCAA penalties issued to Penn State's football program for the school's handling of his child sexual abuse scandal and maintains his innocence as he awaits sentencing, his defense lawyer said Wednesday.
Attorney Joe Amendola told The Associated Press in a phone interview that Sandusky told him that even if people believe he is guilty of the crimes for which he was convicted in June, it would be "ridiculous" to think Penn State administrators engaged in a cover-up. Amendola said Sandusky has asked county jail officials to remove him from what is effectively solitary confinement. "He continues to believe that the truth will come out at some point, and that he'll get another trial or another opportunity to establish his innocence," Amendola said. A spokesman for the attorney general's office declined to comment. Amendola said he expects sentencing will occur in September, although a date has not been set. Sandusky, who did not testify on his own behalf during the trial, has been writing a statement to read to Judge John Cleland at sentencing that will address all 10 sets of charges.
"Whether he winds up doing it despite what I tell him, is going to be up to him," Amendola said. "It's his life." |
He said there may not be anything Sandusky can say to prevent an extended prison sentence, but Sandusky has "a fighting spirit" and is "cautiously optimistic." Michael Boni, lawyer for the young man described in court documents as Victim 1, for which Sandusky was convicted of six counts, said the truth came out during the trial. "We care, everybody should care, about what he presents at the sentencing hearing, because it's in all of our interests that he have as long a sentence as possible, hopefully life without parole," Boni said. Amendola said work had begun on an appeal, which may not be filed until after sentencing. If Sandusky appeals to Cleland, rather than going directly to Superior Court, he would have 10 days to file, and Cleland then would have four months to rule, Amendola said. The NCAA said Mitchell will serve as Penn State's athletics integrity monitor for the coming five years, keeping tabs on the school's compliance with the sanctions and related matters. Mitchell's duties will include making four progress reports each year to the NCAA, Big 10 and the university's trustees. Also Wednesday, Cleland struck from the record a filing made by Sandusky co-counsel Karl Rominger last month that challenged an order by the judge designed to figure out if lawyers were leaking information to the media. Cleland's order on Wednesday, citing rules of legal procedure, gave Rominger three weeks to file a new version. Rominger had argued Cleland's demand for a sworn statement listing all material he obtained from prosecutors and gave to third parties would violate protections for attorney work products. A call seeking comment from Rominger was not immediately returned. |

So, I was super excited when I was offered the chance to review two new sets of Bob books: Sight Words - Kindergarten and Sight Words - First Grade.
Here is an official description of the book sets:
For those of you who have never read Bob Books before, here is a sample two-page spread. The books are small paperbacks with limited color sketches and very simple sentences:From the #1 bestselling learn-to-read program come two brand-new sets focused on learning and practicing Sight Words.
Sight Words are words that are recognized by sight rather than sounded out, in order to achieve reading fluency. They are the most frequently used words in the English language, and are often unable to be read phonetically ("was", "are", and "out" are examples). Bob Books Sight Words feature the top Sight Words in two sets – one for kindergarten and one for first grade – in order to allow parents and children to read, learn, and practice easily and enjoyably.
Each Sight Words box includes 10 original books, 30 flashcards, and a parent guide. Soon your child will be saying "I read the whole book!"®
What we thought of them: To my untrained eye, I didn't notice a huge difference in ability level between the kindergarten and first grade levels. The reading level didn't strike me as overly difficult in either set. For the most part, the Bibliophile read the words on his own without assistance. With that said, he's clearly not an average 2 1/2 year old reader. I would (and often do: see below) recommend any of the Bob Books if your child, regardless of age, is just learning to read or if you'd like to start trying to help them down that path. The short length is good for keeping children's short attention spans engaged; and for the number of books that come in each set, they are a good value.
We especially loved the addition of the flashcards in these two boxed sets. We didn't use them as flashcards, per se. We played with the idea of making sentences. I spread them out all over the floor and would ask him to pick one of the subject words, verbs, etc. (showing him his choices in each case - he certainly doesn't understand those concepts yet). He had a great time with it, and I will probably make more cards to supplement the stack and expand our "game."
I feel strongly that the best way to teach a child to read is to teach him to love books, and that to teach him to love books, you should read to him early and often -- board books, picture books, chapter books (if they'll sit still for them), etc. I don't like to give too much credit to any one type of tool, for fear of minimizing this emphasis on simply reading together often. However, if you do this, laying the foundation for a lifetime love of reading, then I think Bob Books can play a wonderful role in teaching a child to read. I credit them with helping the Bibliophile understand the concept of sounding out words and contributing to the realization that he could read an entire book himself. I have recommended them to at least three different parents in the last month, when asked how the Bibliophile first started reading at such a young age (right AFTER I explain to them that we read with him. A LOT.)

The Nashville Predators continue their five-game road trip when they visit the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. Nashville began its trek with a 4-0 victory over the Dallas Stars on Tuesday before being outscored by a combined 13-7 margin in losses to the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames on Thursday and Friday, respectively. Pekka Rinne was pulled in each of the setbacks as he allowed a total of six goals on 14 shots.
Edmonton began its long-awaited four-game homestand Friday with a disappointing 3-2 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings. After completing a franchise-record nine-game road trip with a 3-4-2 record, the Oilers got off to a strong start against Detroit and carried a 2-0 lead into the third period before letting it slip away. Edmonton will look to avenge a 6-0 defeat in Nashville on March 8.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, FSN Tennessee (Nashville), Rogers Sportsnet West (Edmonton)
ABOUT THE PREDATORS (11-11-6): Sergei Kostitsyn's lack of production earned him a spot in the press box Friday as he was a healthy scratch. The left wing, who turns 27 on Wednesday, has only two goals and hasn't scored since Feb. 18 at Colorado. Chris Mueller made his season debut in Kostitsyn's place and recorded one shot on goal while winning four of five faceoffs. Mueller still is in search of his first career goal but has registered three assists in 20 NHL contests. After posting his league-leading fifth shutout against Dallas, Rinne surrendered four goals on 12 shots against Vancouver before being replaced. He didn't even make a save on Friday, allowing each of Calgary's first two shots to get past him before landing on the bench.
ABOUT THE OILERS (10-11-6): Defenseman Jeff Petry had a night to forget Friday. After firing a loose puck into his own net with 5:53 remaining in the third period to tie the game, Petry fell for a deke by Pavel Datsyuk in overtime, allowing the star forward to beat Devan Dubnyk with a wrist shot for the winning goal. "It doesn't feel good now, but I can't hang my head," Petry said. According to coach Ralph Krueger, defenseman Mark Fistric is likely to be in the lineup for the first time since suffering an elbow injury against Dallas on Feb. 28. Ryan Jones, however, is questionable as he attempts to recover from the flu.
1. The Predators have won nine of their last 12 visits to Edmonton.
2. Nashville is 1-7-1 in its last nine road games.
3. The winning team has scored six goals in three of the last four matchups.

Splitting Wood
By: Nexstar Staff
Updated: February 2, 2012
First, make sure you use the proper nail. As a guide, your nail should be three times as long as the thickness of the wood you are driving it through. This will leave about 2/3's of the nail for holding power. Also you don't want to drive two nails into the same grain on your piece of wood because this will cause it to split. Sometimes you may need to drill a small pilot hole to prevent end splits.
Something else to remember about nails, the sharper the point generally means the more holding power the nail is going to have, but watch out because the sharper the point also means the more chance of you splitting that piece of wood. So just remember that with the right touch and the right nail your piece of wood should be fine.
Here are some more woodworking tips we found for you!
To prevent plywood from splitting while cutting, apply a strip of masking tape at the point where you plan to start sawing.
To prevent plywood from splitting while cutting, apply a strip of masking tape at the point where you plan to start sawing.
Here are some Sanding Tips:
Sandpaper will last longer and work better if the paper backing is dampened slightly before wrapping around a block of wood.
For sanding small hard-to-get places, use sandpaper on a Popsicle stick or use an emery board.
When sanding small objects, attach the sandpaper to a flat surface and then run the object that needs sanding over the paper.
After sanding wood, pull an old nylon stocking over your hand and rub the wood lightly. You will be able to locate the slightest rough spots.
When installing paneling, paint a one-inch strip the same color as paneling between joints. If joints come apart, they won't be as noticeable.
For plywood shelves, if you don't have a wood molding, use color vinyl tape instead. This will give them a colorful look.


text: The Bexar County Sheriff's Office is changing a number of policies and procedures in response to the death of two of their K-9s, who died from heat exhaustion last week after their handler, Deputy Steve Benoy, left them in a police vehicle overnight. "On the day of the incident Steve got off duty in the middle of the afternoon. He went to his house which is out in the county, and he had a set routine. Whenever he got home he got out of his vehicle. He would then make sure that the dogs would have enough food and fresh water in their kennels. He did all of that and left his Tahoe running at the time," said Bexar County Sheriff Amadeo Ortiz. With the dogs still in the running vehicle, Deputy Benoy then went out to administer medicine to his horse, who had an injury to his front leg from barbwire. "And then he came back and turned off that Tahoe. He then went inside his house and started getting ready, as he was leaving that afternoon. I can't put it in any other terms other than he simply forgot to get the dogs out of the Tahoe and place them in the kennels," said Sheriff Ortiz. In a press conference Monday, the Sheriff's office said that they have had two heat sensors for their K-9 vehicles in their possession since 2010 but have never installed them. "One of the heat sensors was sent to the Vehicle Maintenance Shop to be installed. They were for the ford vehicles we were using at the time, not the Tahoes that we use now. The Vehicle Maintenance Shop, either because they didn't have the expertise to install them, or there wasn't enough information along with the equipment to install them, that one never got installed. The other sensor remained in the office of the K-9 Unit," said Sheriff Ortiz. However, Sheriff Ortiz maintains that the heat sensor wouldn't have made a difference, as Benoy wasn't at home at the time the vehicle overheated, and therefore wouldn't have heard an alarm that could have warned him. Following the death of the dogs last week, the Sheriff's Office ordered two new K-9 Tahoes with the latest heat sensor technology, and have suspended the use of their K-9s during the heat of the day until they arrive. "Those two Tahoes will have the latest technology different from the first sensors, in that the latest technology will have the remote start feature in it. It will start the vehicle (when it overheats), it will turn on the A/C, as well as activate the emergency lights and the sirens, and then it will place a phone call to four different telephone numbers. So four people would be notified in case of an emergency that something was wrong," said Sheriff Ortiz. Once the Bexar County Sheriff's Office completes their investigation of the incident, the report will then be sent to the District Attorney's office, who will then decide whether or not they will move forward with criminal charges against Deputy Benoy. In the meantime, all of the K-9 training officers with the Sheriff's Office will be undergoing additional training to make sure they are up to date with the latest procedures and tactics. "The K-9s are an integral part of this operation and we miss them," said Sheriff Ortiz. "We have a reserve unit here at the office, and both the volunteers and members of their nonprofit operation have collected funds and offered to buy one additional K-9 for the Sheriff's office. We are going to do some fundraising to get the other dog, because they really help keep our officers safe." Deputy Benoy has been placed on paid administrative leave, pending the investigation.

The sides kinda hide the end DVD's that are put in the cabinet, but other than that it is great
I will buy another

from Stafford CT
I bought 2 of these units. They went together very easily. Only bad thing was I needed to trim the 2 back panels on each unit to fit correctly. They needed to be shaved about 1/32 inch to fit properly.

Lecture Description
Prof. Jos
Course Description
The impact of religious faith is profound in a world where political, economic, and social spheres are increasingly interconnected. Intentional and sustained reflection on the crucial issues of faith and globalization can lead to the kind of reconciliation and peaceful coexistence that life in the 21st century demands. Yale, in collaboration with the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, launched the Faith and Globalization Initiative in the Fall of 2008 as a three-year effort to conduct dialogue as a way of considering these essential issues. The website will explore a variety of topics and issues -in the classroom, in formal lectures and informal conversation, and through research, speeches, conferences, and the Internet.

I'm looking for a good book on trees to get my son for Christmas. He's 23 & has been working as a landscaper for the last couple of years & has gravitated to tree work. A potential Druid here?
I'd like to find a nice book that not only identifies the trees but has more to it in the way of descriptions, history & mythology & of course beautiful pictures! I haven't been able to locate one just like this & am thinking I may have to get him a couple books if I can't find just the right one...nothing wrong with that either!
I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Recipe calls for Olive Oil, but you are brushing with Canola Oil. Does it make a difference?

Last week I wrote a post on how Google's autocomplete function gives us an interesting insight into what theological and biblical questions are being asked.
Well, last night I ran across a December issue of the NY Times Magazine that had a fascinating article on the Google Search Algorithm as Extinction Model. Apparently a couple of research scientists recently had a bright idea:
Google's search engine uses an algorithm called PageRank to identify the most important Web sites on a given topic by analyzing links: a Web page is important if other important pages link to it. How different is this, really, [the researchers] wondered, from an ecosystem, in which a species is important if other important species eat it?
These scientists put the search algorithm to the test, finding it much simpler and faster than other methods of predicting extinction, yet giving them nearly identical results. The researches told the BBC News, "In PageRank, a web page is important if important pages point to it. In our approach a species is important if it points to important species."
At seminary, people are constantly talking about how difficult it is to measure the health of congregations (or the church in a larger sense). People fall back on membership—or attendance—numbers even while saying that numbers aren't really what matters. Yet the fact is, people want simple ways of measuring the complex dynamics of church life. Pastors want to know if they are leading the church in a good direction and Bishops' staffs want to know what congregations may be the next to rely on synodical grants, or risk having to close their doors.
What if, instead of number in worship, we started looking at something more like Google's PageRank algorithm? What if we measured the health of congregations by how connected they are? Not just from individual to individual, but from congregation to community organizations, to other congregations, to world missions.
I'm willing to bet that the most healthy churches are not the largest congregations, but the most connected congregations. What do you think?

TEXAS RANGERS INFORMATION: Founded: 1961 (in Arlington since 1972) Location: Arlington, Texas Stadium: Rangers Ballpark Conference: American League Division: West Division Rivals: Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Notable Players: Nolan Ryan, Michael Young, Rafael Palmeiro, Juan Gonzalez, Ivan Rodriguez Texas Rangers World Series Title: 0 - Last World Series Appearance, 2011 Texas Rangers AL Championships: 2 - Last League Championship Appearance, 2011
The Texas Rangers have become one of the most popular professional sports franchises in the Lone Star State. The team originally played in Washington, D.C. and was known as the Senators. Despite the team's rich history in the American League, flagging attendance numbers forced the team to move to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The team changed their name to the Rangers and began play in Arlington Stadium, a stone's throw away from Texas Stadium, where the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL played their games. In 1972, the Rangers took the field and began a new era of professional baseball in Texas.
The Rangers' early years saw them finishing in the middle of the standings, but fans certainly had reason to be excited. Jim Bibby pitched the squad's first no-hitter against the eventual World Champion Oakland A's in 1973, and outfielder Jeff Burroughs wowed attendees by hitting three Grand Slams in 10 days that same year. While the team remained extremely competitive in the '70s and '80s, fans would have to wait until the '90s before the Rangers experienced sustained success.
In 1994, the Rangers experienced a series of milestones - pitcher Kenny Rogers threw the franchise's first perfect game and the team won its first division championship, albeit during a strike-shortened season. It was also the first year in the club's new stadium, The Ballpark at Arlington, which instantly gave the team one of the most modern facilities in the Major Leagues. The Rangers won division titles in 1996, 1998 and 1998, but it wouldn't be until the late 2000s that the squad really hit their stride.
In 2010, the Rangers were one of the best teams in baseball, led by the strong arm of pitcher Cliff Lee and the strong bats of AL MVP Josh Hamilton and perennial All-Star Vladimir Guerrero. The team made it to the World Series that year and faced the talented San Francisco Giants, but the squad couldn't get its offense together and fell in five games. The Rangers repeated as AL Champions in 2011 and were pitted against the St. Louis Cardinals. The team had a chance to close out the Cardinals in Game 6, but the NL champs sparked an unprecedented rally that carried them to their 11th World Championship.
Coming off back-to-back World Series appearances, the Rangers are one of the most dangerous teams in the American League and have more than enough motivation to get back to the big dance and capture the franchise's first title.
See Also: Texas Rangers Playoff Tickets Texas Rangers Preview History
With a beautiful park and a recent string of success not ever seen in baseball in the state of Texas, the Rangers are shaping up to be one of the premier franchises in Major League Baseball. With Ron Washington in charge, the Rangers have gone to two World Series' and have both the stars and the young to continue their rampage on the American League in 2013.
The Rangers open the season on the road against new division foe Houston because getting Opening Day at home against the Angels on April 5. The new-look Red Sox will make the trip to Arlington for a three-game set on May 3-5, and last year's AL pennant winner Detroit will play four at the Ballpark from May 16-19. Get your tickets quick as demand for the Rangers has gone through the roof recently!

Handyscan updated, adds Windows Phone 8 Lenses support
Handyscan is a popular Windows Phone app that lets you scan and share documents with ease. This will be the second update in the past month for Handyscan taking the app to version 3.18. Along with fixes to address lag time and other bugs, Handyscan becomes more integrated with Windows Phone 8.
Version 3.18 now adds Windows Phone 8 Lenses support to Handyscan that will let you launch the app from the Windows Phone camera, making the app more easily accessible. The update also adds the ability to name scans before you begin scanning the document.
Overall the update improves upon a very nice document scanning app for your Windows Phone. Sharing options include Skydrive or Dropbox and you can email documents using a variety of resolutions. Other features include adding pages to existing documents, use digitized signatures, and add text to documents.
There are two versions of Handyscan available in the Windows Phone Store. You have Handyscan Free that is free but lacks the PDF conversion, Email options (file size), and restore backup features. The full version of Handyscan is currently running $2.99, which you can find here in the Windows Phone Store.

use this app alot for nonprofit expense receipts scanning. and it has tremendous developer support, must have app.
ZuNuKoo says:
Does anyone know when you upgrade to a new phone from wp7 to wp8. Do you have to repurchase the app? I bought this on wp7, I don't want to pay for it again. Thanks. I read somewhere you can install the app 5 times on new hardware. Still have to use the same account, am I correct on that?
Daniel Rubino says:
You don't have to repurchase.
ChrisLynch says:
While you do not need to re-purchase (as long as you use the same Microsoft Account to setup your new WP8 device when you purchased the app), you will still need to go through the same process on the device. However, it will inform you that you already purchased it and if you would like to re-install. Or, you can go to http://windowsphone.com and browse through your purchase history and there is a Re-Install button you can press, and it will deliver the app to your new device; again as long as you configured your new WP8 device with the same Microsoft Acount.

can you scan a text and then have it read out loud? would be great for my granny, cause she can´t really read the newspaper any longer :(
glenc says:
awesome app (have the paid versions) but the backup failed me in that it would not fully restore and the Backup files (on skydrive) are unreadable in an xml type format. Anyone know how to read the backup files directly from skydrive without handyscan?
kittshelby says:
Can someone explain why one would use this app rather than just taking pictures with the phone's camera??? I think I'm not understanding something here...
rebornempowered says:
The ability to crop around what you want to scan and combine pages into a PDF are just a few of the reasons it is superior to taking a picture.
Jandieg says:
Lots of reasons...
- multiple pages per document
- won't fill up your Camera Roll with "document pictures"
- advanced focusing (only achieved on camera by tweaking settings)
- auto optimizes images
- converts to PDF (if paid)
- uploads to cloud in full resolution, auto create folders if more than 1 page
- independent flash settings and resolution settings
- can add text (fill forms)
- can add signatures to docs
Yeah if you are agile you could maybe achieve the same with default camera and a bit of photo editing, but would take you 5 times more time and effort.
Also watch this
absolutshame says:
Personally I find this app useless. Documents come out almost unreadable. I tried to like it but its just a waste of time.
Taking a photo and cropping it manually works much better. The quality of the photo compared to the results with this app are not even comparable. The ability to convert into PDF is not impressive these days.
RaRa85 says:
If the documents came out almost unreadable you did it wrong pal.lol The quality is far better in this app compared to regular pictures for some reason. I use this if I want to scan an article or ad from the library to take with me for later reading. Perfect.
Jandieg says:
True. Default camera doesn't focus well in short distances. Handyscan does perfect.
Loco5150 says:
I bought the last version which didnt even run properly on my L920. I waited on this new version and it was worth it. Works perfect based on testing I did today.
