Bartolo Longo Basilica Map of the ruins
Historical notes
Pompeii, with four fifths of its urban area already excavated, is the most famous and evocative archaeological site in the world.
The eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD buried the city in a 6-7 mt thick layer of ash and cinder. Most of its inhabitants, escaping from their homes, found their deaths on the shore. The remaining few, in a vain attempt to save themselves in their basements, died asphyxiated: the moulds of their agonized bodies, obtained by pouring plaster into the cavities left by the bodies in the layers of ash, give moving testimony to the tragedy.
A walk amongst the excavations of Pompeii is an unique experience. It is a jurney into the past: one captures the feeling of life in ancient times, public and private. The most surprising aspect is the high number of homes, luxurious or humble, that have preserved their bottles, glassware and ovens. Even more surprising the amount of furnishings that have remained intact, permitting us to see into the most personal aspects of the life of the inhabitants.
In the summer months the Pompeii Archaeological Superintendence organise evening tours of the ruins. Along the route the most evocative aspects of Pompeii by night are revealed, accompanied by Ennio Morricone's musics. A multi-media presentation re-inacts the dramatic phases of the eruption.
The Forum was the active centre of the city: a large rectangular square (38x142 mt), it was paved with travertine and closed in on three sides by porticos. The Capitolium (a temple dedicated to Jupiter), the Temple of Apollo (built in the 3rd century BC) and the Basilica, the most important public building, seat of the courts of justice and centre of economic life, all give onto the square.
Nearby is the Forum Thermal baths, divided into sections for men and women, with shared central heating. The Via Abbondanza (the road of Abundance) was the main artery of the city (the name is modern , as all Pompeiian names are) along which all sorts of businesses plied their trade: stores, inns, laundries, craftsmen. The Stabiane Baths, the oldest of Pompeii, is along this road. Not far is the famous brothel, a two-story building whose true purpose was revealed by the many erotic paintings and licentious graffiti decorating it.
Of all the houses, the House of the Faun is considered the most beautiful: for its architectural elegance and for the famous mosaics, like the one representing the battle of Alexander and Darius, a masterpiece now in the Archaeological Museum of Naples.
The house belonging to the merchant brothers Vettii is admired for the many splendid frescoes that adorn the walls. The Menandro house (that takes its name from a painting showing the Greek comedy playwright Menandro) is the source of a rich collection of exceptionally high quality silverware (now in the Archaeological Museum of Naples).
The Villa dei Misteri (of the Mysteries) is one of the most important buildings in Pompeii for its paintings. The most famous is the huge fresco that gave the Villa its name: 29 life-sized figures, painted with vivid colours on a red background, seem to depict some sort of Dionysian initiation ceremony or Orphic rite.
In the Theatre District two theatres have been recovered from the ashes: the Teatro Grande, where shows are organised in summer, and the little Odeion. Nearby is the lovely Temple of Isis. An epigraph demonstrates that the Amphitheatre is the oldest of the ones we know. Here gladiators wrestled with one another and with animals. Next to the amphitheatre is the Palestra Grande (Big Gymnasium), built under the reign of Augustus and used for gymnastic exercises. It is a large porticoed area with in its centre a swimming pool with diving board. A sunset visit to the Via dei Sepolcri (the road of the Tombs) is particularly evocative, as the road passes by funeral monuments on its way to Herculaneum.
A tour of the Pompeii excavations takes at least one day.
One quick glance at the lay-out of the city and a fundamental fact immediately catches one's eye: Pompeii, unlike Herculaneum and ancient Naples, is not the fruit of an organic design of city planners. In the regular town design two atypical nuclei stand out: one, roughly quadrilateral, around the "civil forum" and the other around the tiny "triangular forum" next to the theatres district. To those nuclei is linked the rest of the city which by contrast looks "new": all this enclosed within solid city walls.
This observation reveals the secret of the origins and development of Pompeii: its port on the mouth of the river Sarno is evidence of its Mediterranean vocation - from the earliest history - with respect to its vast hinterland which in time came to include Acerra, Nola, Nuceria, as the ancient historian Strabo attests.
On a bed of prehistoric lava, Pompeii is founded in the second half of the VIIth century B.C. with an organization effort that presupposes objectives of lookout and defence connected to the nature of the relations between the Greeks and the natives.
The natives, peaceful when first colonized, later matured notions of armed action when the Chalcidenses, who held defensive posts along the sea-coast, threatened to cut off for ever the peoples of Campania from access to the sea. Despite the documented existence of a Doric temple dating from the second half of the VIth century B.C. on the terrace of the triangular forum, and other indications that were held valid until only a few years ago, Pompeii was not a Greek city, even though it had been influenced by Greek culture ever since the most archaic epoch. In the light of the results obtained from the stratigraphic researches carried out in these last years, it appears that Pompeii, at the time of its foundation and its first development, was much more conditioned, politically, by the Etruscans than by the Greeks.
There is also evidence that it was connected to an "Etruscan territory" centred on Capua (Santa Maria Capua Vetere), which comprised large portions of inland Campania and, through the Sarno valley, the Sorrento peninsula. Disconcerting evidence of this has been found at Vico Equense.
Pompeii's commercial vocation upsets completely the former architectural and decorative order, transforms the habits of its inhabitants, generates self-made entrepreneurs and exploiters.
A "vertical section" of the city in the last decades of its life before the 79 A.D. eruption of Vesuvius, would offer a picture - in contrast with the calm of former times - of roads, inns, taverns bustling with people, brothels in full activity, stall keepers in the forum, the amphiteatre cram-full of people, slaves of an irrational passion for sport, always ready for a brawl, walls covered with election slogans in favour of this or that candidate, graffiti with names, quips, love messages everywhere.
House building in the meanwhile was capriciously spreading beyond the walls, it consolidated westwards in dismal phalansteries. Painting lost its capacity of perspective. The former articulation which can be seen in the vast cycles of paintings of the "Villa of the Mysteries" (Villa dei Misteri), is often reduced to nothing but commonplace and poor quality decoration.
In the last few years every possible effort has been concentrated on restoration but excavations have also been going on the city walls, bringing to light the walls from "Porta di Sarno" to "Porta di Nola" and beyond towards "Porta Vesuvius".
Stratigraphic research work has also been given a substantial boost.
The four-storey building that incorporates the walls, north of "Porta Marina", has been excavated while the diggings at the "House of Julius Polybius" (Casa di Giulio Polibio) have brought to light new and sensational discoveries.
The zones that still have to be excavated in the north-eastern area may hold some more unexpected surprises in store but at this point we can say that the "picture" of life in Pompeii, thanks also to stratigraphic research, has already been quite clearly defined.
The eruption
The eruption of the Vesuvius, which raged from the afternoon of August 24th through to the 26th, were recorded, albeit a few years later, by Gaius Plinius Secundus, who in 79 AD was seventeen years old and staying with his uncle, an admiral in the imperial fleet and a keen naturalist. He was persuaded to narrate the events by Tacitus in two letters when the latter was acquiring material for the second part of his "Historiae".
Those last days of August had been preceded by earth tremors, a common enough phenomenon in Campania that aroused no particular apprehension. But early in the afternoon of the 24th an enormous cloud in the shape of a pine tree appeared and it changed colour continuously.
The admiral was studying the cloud, not knowing its cause, when a call for help arrived from Rectina, the wife of Tascio, who lived at the foot of Vesuvius. She found herself hemmed in by the eruption, with only the sea offering a possible route to safety. The admiral ordered the entire fleet to put to sea, intending to take off as many as possible of the numerous inhabitants along that part of the coast.
During the crossing the ships were covered in the ash pouring out of the volcano, which as they drew nearer the coast became hotter and denser, containing flaming pumicite and lapilli. The force of the eruption was such that the ships could not land and had to sail on the port of Stabiae, four miles to the south of Pompeii.
The admiral went ashore and had dinner as guest of Pomponiano, continuing to scrutinising the spectacle that, with nightfall, had become truly awesome.
There was no let up in the shower of ash, which built up in drifts in the central courtyard of the house, forcing the diners to leave the dining room before they were trapped inside. What is more, the tremors went on unabated, shaking the buildings to their foundations, and everybody chose to stay out in the open, covering their heads with cushions to protect themselves from the storm of scorching particles, rather than risk being buried under falling masonry.
At dawn on August 25th the light of the sun was unable to penetrate the thick veil of soot hanging over the never-ending eruption, while the condition of wind and sea continued to make escape impossible. The admiral was overcome by the choking ashes mixed with sulphurous exhalations and he died along with many other inhabitants of Pompeii. The contorted corpses of some of them have been restored to us in plaster casts, bringing home the excruciating suffering of a death by suffocation from fumes.
During the years the city passed into total oblivion, such that even its name was forgotten. Even in the first years of excavations, which began in 1748, no one was quite sure whether the site was Stabiae or Pompeii, until, as Winckelmann recorded, an inscription came to light which proclaimed unequivocally the name of the Pompeiian colony.
Since then more than two centuries have gone by, and millions of visitors have come to experience one of the most significant legacies of the ancient world, carrying away with them sensations and reflections which may indeed be of use in charting their future lives
The Visit
Porta Marina. The name is modern and indicates that the roads passing through this gate led down to the sea. The gate originally had two arches (one for pedestrian only) made into one barrel vault in opus cementitium (a compound of mortar and stones)
The Antiquarium is a museum which assembles the evidences of the life and the civilisation of Pompeii including the famous casts of the corpses of some inhabitants and animals died during the eruption. We can found other important founds to the Archaelogical National Museum in Naples.
The Forum centre of the city, a large rectangular square rich of columns and bases of innumerable statues
1 - The Basilica court site
2 - Temple of Apollo
3 - Temple of Vespasian and Jupiter
4 - Macellum o covered market
5 - Forum Baths
6 - Temple of Fortuna Augusta.
Along the elegant Via di Mercurio we can found, with the other constructions, The House of the Big Fountain and The House of the Small Fountain, so called by a kind of fountain typically oriental, in fact they came from Egypt
House of the Faun
is considerate the most beautiful example of a private house of the ancient world because its greatness, the elegance of its architecture and the splendid mosaics.
House of the Vettii is, instead, the most famous, perhaps by the famous little statue of the god Priapo, it is the most admired; it was of two rich merchants and it is full of very well preserved paintings , statues, decorations and wonderful rooms.
There are many other beautiful houses , and we can visit, moreover, in Pompei many Shops, Bakeries and Artisan Laboratories, and the most famous is the Fullery of Stephanus , that show us the evidence of a rich life that in a moment it is stopped as suspended in the time.
Villa dei Misteri, Not far from the excavations we can visit Villa of the Mysteries, a large construction (55 rooms), famous because its beautiful paintings inspired by the Dionysiac mysteries that had happened here.

A few weeks ago I showed you my Baltimore Album quilt. This one was made from a left over block. The block was missing a little on one side so had to be cut down to be symmetrical. I decided to use it in a medallion style quilt. The quilt is machine pieced and quilted. It is 39 inches square. It is now hanging in my living room.
The center is quilted with cross-hatches.
You can see some of the feathers in the yellow border in this photo. The outer border is done in cables.
Here is part of the back to show the quilting.
Happy New Year to you all!
I hope it will be a blessed one.

Fatty ArbuckleComedian / Filmmaker
Born: 24 March 1887
Died: 28 June 1933 (heart attack)
Birthplace: Smith Center, Kansas
Best known as: The rotund silent film comedian
Name at birth: Roscoe Conkling Arbuckle
Fatty Arbuckle was one of the first great silent film comedians. He's especially remembered for his work with Mack Sennett's Keystone Kops. In 1921, at the peak of his fame, Arbuckle was accused of involvement in the death of actress Virginia Rappe after a raucous party. Arbuckle was acquitted of manslaughter, but the incident ruined his career. He later directed films under the pseudonym William B. Goodrich.

Category name i.e.ACCESSORIES
Key FeaturesDolby Digital & DTS decoding500W output3 x digital audio inputsSupplied desktop control consoleStereo 3D, 4.1 & 2.1 modes
Design and connectionsAlthough this 5.1-channel home cinema package is primarily intended for use with a PC, it's equally at home in an AV environment thanks to its generous range of connections and features - particularly its THX certification, which means it satisfies George Lucas' exacting standards for movie playback. What you get in the box is a set of five compact satellite speakers and a powered subwoofer, which altogether muster a pretty impressive 500W of power - not to be sniffed at from a compact system.
The identical front and rear satellites sport rather chunky, inelegant bodywork, plus their dark grey finish and meshed grille on the front give them a techy, PC-centric look that some people might not want in their living room, but you can certainly get away with it.
Their build quality is extraordinary - those chunky enclosures make them remarkably sturdy, to the point where you can imagine them walking away unscathed from a fall down the stairs (but we didn't try that out). We like the way each satellite faces upwards slightly when placed on the tabletop too, and as an added bonus you can wall mount them thanks to the screw holes on the back. You also get a dedicated centre speaker, which is horizontally orientated.
As for the subwoofer, it's cube-shaped and compact, which shouldn't pose major problems whether you're shoving it under a desk or behind the TV, and is styled to match the satellites. It's a side-firing design with an 8 inch driver, and is equipped with audio decoders, a 165W amplifier and all of the system's connections.
These include three digital audio inputs (two optical and one coaxial), which will come in handy if you want to connect multiple sources simultaneously (a DVD or Blu-ray player, Sky box and games console for instance). There's also a six-channel direct input for connecting PCs, an analogue stereo input and a 3.5mm input for MP3 players and the like. There's also a panel of springclip terminals for the supplied speaker wire, and these are also found on the back of each speaker, instead of binding posts. It's a shame there are no HDMI inputs or HD audio decoding, which would have made this more suitable for use with Blu-ray players and games consoles.
One of the system's most appealing features is the control console. This is a small desktop unit that plugs into the back of the subwoofer and allows you to adjust the volume, switch between the various sound modes and adjust the levels for each channel. This is obviously of greater use to those using the Z906 as a desktop PC system, but when using it in a traditional home cinema configuration you can use the supplied remote to control those settings, so either way you're onto a winner.
The console features a large volume dial in the middle, surrounded by a ring of LEDs that indicate the volume level and flash when in Mute. To the right of the dial is a curious-looking cluster of orange lights that represents the layout of the speakers in a traditional 5.1 setup - the point of this is to show you which channel is selected when adjusting the levels. On the other side of the dial are rows of lights indicating the currently selected input (each one numbered to correspond with the rear panel) and the current sound mode.
These modes enhance stereo signals with different effects. They include Stereo 3D, which adds a '3D' surround effect through all speakers; Stereo 4.1, which plays the stereo signal through fronts, rears and sub; and Stereo 2.1, which plays the signal through the fronts and sub. You can, of course, turn them all off and listen to sound in its natural form. Although its connections and decoding fail to cater for HD audio formats like Dolby True HD or DTS HD Master Audio HD, the Z906 can decode regular Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams through the digital inputs.
The speakers boast a frequency range of 35Hz and 20kHz, and each one features a 3in polished aluminium phase plug driver. Once you've got over the rather cryptic method of adjusting levels, the system is easy to use. The supplied remote is small and buttons are sparse, but this simple array covers every function - volume, mute, and input, level and sound mode selection.
After rigging up a Blu-ray deck to the coaxial digital input, we popped Avatar in the disc tray and settled back. Flipping to the movie's best test scenes (Battle for Pandora and Assault on Home Tree) the first thing that jumps out is how remarkably beefy the Z906's sound is. It gives real body and depth to the frequent missile explosions and rat-tat-tat of machine gun fire, evoking a sense of power and aggression that makes us completely understand why THX gave it the thumbs up.
There also a reasonable amount of detail poking through the bangs and crashes, and some lovely high-frequency work that gives the sound a crisp, perky feel that's certainly streets ahead of what you'd get from flatpanel TV speakers - a fact that in itself will be enough to persuade some people. This decent detail reproduction is also noticeable during quiet scenes, particularly Jake's regular expeditions through the Pandoran forest. Listen closely and you can make out distant animal cries, gentle ambience and the rustling of leaves underfoot. It doesn't tease out this information with the quite the same level of effortlessness and absolute clarity as dedicated home cinema speakers from the likes of Teufel, KEF or Tannoy but it's a good effort.
Bass performance is excellent. The sub keeps low frequencies sounding tight and accurate, putting real punch and drive behind effects, plus it can muster a deep, sustained rumble without drowning out the other speakers. We're also pleased with the clarity of dialogue which shoots through the busiest of scenes without any muddiness or excessive sibilance. It's likely that you'll regularly use this system to play music too, particularly if ifs rigged up to your PC, and if so you can expect a clean, dynamic reproduction of your tracks, anchored by nimble, rhythmic bass notes. Vocals enjoy surprising richness and high-frequencies aren't thin. The RRP for the Logitech Z906 is $390.
Whether you're using the Z906 in the office or living room, it delivers a very impressive sound with depth, punch and decent detail reproduction. And although its techy design is better suited to a desk than a TV stand, build quality is extremely robust and the inclusion of a control console is a convenient feature, despite its slightly cryptic quirks. There's also a useful range of sockets, although the lack of HDMI inputs and Dolby True HD/DTS HD MA decoding is a slight disappointment and undermines the Z906's status as a cutting-edge home entertainment hub.

read our privacy policy
Cleaning with Oreck Dry Carpet® Cleaning Powder keeps carpets looking like new because no sticky detergent residue is left behind to attract soil. Oreck Dry Carpet® Cleaning Powder particles are engineered to attract and absorb tough soil, stains, spots, odors, allergens and residues from all types of carpet and upholstery fiber (including nylon, wool, silk, oriental rugs and many others.)
No Return® Spot Remover for Localized Stains helps clean stains. It penetrates the stain and odor to dissolve it. No Return® is actually two products in one and specially designed for pet problems. Its special blend of cleaning agents and enzymes cleans stains caused by urine, feces, vomit, blood, food, perspiration and other organic stains. Use on carpets, floors, furniture, clothing, automobile interiors, litter boxes, cages and pet living and sleeping areas. Just spray and let dry.
Loosen stubborn dirt and stains from carpets and upholstery with Oreck Premist Soil Release spray. Used as the first step of Oreck's Dry Carpet Cleaning system, Oreck Premist increases the cleaning efficiency of step 2, Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaning Powder.
Crystal Aroma II is a natural crystal, not a powder, and it's designed to freshen wherever you place it: rugs, carpets, cars, closets, basements, even your vacuum bag. Because it's a crystal, it won't cake up in your vacuum, clog your vacuum bag, and is non-toxic to people and pets. A great value!
DIRECTIONS: Open small hole in top. Shake Crystal Aroma II lightly over carpet or area to be freshened. Sprinkle sparingly. Wait a few minutes and vacuum up, or leave the crystals in carpet — when you walk on the carpet, the fragrance is released into the air.
Oreck's Full Release® Allergen Control Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaner is designed to work with the Oreck XL Shield Power Scrubber system.
This cleaner has all of the same great features as our regular Full Release® Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaner. And as always, there's no mixing, no measuring and no mess when cleaning carpets and hard floors. You'll find that our self-contained, easy-loading cartridges of specially-formulated cleaner work the way detergent works when you wash your clothing. Simply slide the cartridge into place, and the precise amount of Full Release® Allergen Control Cleaner is automatically delivered to your Oreck XL Shield Power Scrubber at the touch of a button. It's that simple.
The Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaning System is an easy and effective way to keep your carpet and upholstery looking beautiful.
Oreck Dry Carpet ® Cleaning Powder particles are engineered to attract and absorb tough soil, stains, spots, odors, allergens and residues from all types of carpet and upholstery fiber. These sponge-like particles contain a water-based cleaning solution and a light lemon-scented freshener. Cleaning with Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaning Powder keeps carpets looking like new because no sticky detergent residue is left behind to attract soil.
Instant Spot Remover is an easy and effective way to keep your carpets, rugs and upholstery looking like new. Simply shake then spray directly on stubborn stains, including dirt and grease spots. It's even safe for home with children and pets.
Elite™ Pet Carpet Cleaning Solution makes it easy to remove tough dirt, pet stains and odors from carpets and furniture. Simply shake then add to the clean water tank of your Oreck® Revitalize™ Carpet Cleaner. It's perfect for deep cleaning high traffic areas and couches.
Elite™ Total Carpet Cleaning Solution makes it easy to deep clean your carpets and furniture. Simply shake then add to the clean water tank of your Oreck® Revitalize™ Carpet Cleaner. It's powerful enough to remove tough dirt and stains, including red wine and coffee.

Bestey gets me
"I tend to like Betsey Johnson shoes, but many times the platform is just too high for me. That doesn't stop me from being attracted to impractical shoes. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how comfy these are. Not too much platform and very true-to-size. I think they have a great personality to them as well."

Love my new shoes!
"Cute shoes. Deep blue color. The studs are black so they dont stand out against the blue. And the bow also covers most of them . But its like whatever because the shoes are still cool. I like how Betsey Johnson shoes have the leopard print bottoms. They are very comfortable too, I walked in them with no issues. I did place gel shoe pads inside but I do that with all my heels"

LOVE these shoes~
"Absolutely love these shoes. The color pink is fabulous and the bow and gem accents are adorable. My only complaint is that the shoe is a bit longer than expected. I wear a 9.5 and ordered a 9.5. When walking about, my foot tends to slip out of the shoe, which hasn't happened to me before.Going to keep them and use a shoe insert in hopes it will solve the problem. I don't want to run the risk of the 9 not fitting at all.Overall I am VERY satisfied with the shoes and can't wait to wear them again!"

Jeff Crews made sure his two tickets from the Sept. 28, 2012 game at Pittsburgh' PNC Park were in his wife's purse as the Crews family went to the Cincinnati Reds' game against the San Francisco Giants on July 2 at Great American Ball Park.
THE BIG LEAD: More on the man's memorable day
The Crews family had scored field passes to watch batting practice on that day, and Jeff Crews thought if he could see Homer Bailey before he pitched, the Reds starter may appreciate a ticket stub from his no-hitter of the year before. Crews didn't get to meet Bailey or give him the small token, but he was on hand, along with his wife Colleen, son John, daughters Jane and Abby and daughter-in-law Christa, to see Bailey throw his second no-hitter.
"I told him he should bring his ticket stubs from the game in Pittsburgh, since we were going to be on the field before the game, and see if Homer would sign them," his son Jeff Crews wrote in an e-mail on Tuesday. "He decided, instead, that he would give Homer one of the ticket stubs as a gift. We never met Homer, but that's the kind of guy my dad was. So, while we watched the second no-no, my dad had two tickets to the first no-no in his pocket!"
Last month, Jeff Crews was diagnosed with a Stage 4 Glioblastoma brain tumor and given just four to six weeks to live. Among the things the longtime baseball fan, who played with Mike Schmidt growing up, did was go to one last game with his family.
That game was July 2, when Bailey pitched his second no-hitter. Two days later, Crews died at the age of 62 in his home, surrounded by the same family that had celebrated with him – and more than 27,500 others – as Bailey threw the first no-hitter in Cincinnati in 25 years.
"The whole three weeks since his diagnosis, it was amazing, it couldn't be better," Abby Crews said. "He was on steroids that had reduced the swelling on his brain, so he was able to be himself and do what he wanted. He could visit with old friends, see all the family he wanted to see and then he had enough energy to go (to the game). It couldn't have been a better three weeks. He kept saying every day felt like Christmas. But to top it off with that. ... When the final out happened, it occurred to all of us what situation we were in. We were crying and I'm sure all the fans around us thought we were just weird fans. But we were all together. It was amazing. It was perfect."
It was the culmination of a very special day. Because of family connections with the Trebnick family, Joey Votto's host family while he was with the Dayton Dragons, the Crews family was given tickets to the game and field passes for batting practice by Votto. During batting practice, Votto gave Jeff Crews an autographed bat, and spoke with him for several minutes.
"A friend of mine asked whether I'd be willing to get some tickets and have them down for batting practice," Votto said. "I was told he was not far from passing away. I had them down and said hello. They seemed to have a nice time. He seemed to have a nice time.
"Sometimes it's nice to do something like that," Votto said. "Other times, it can be difficult. It can be a bit of challenge. It can become emotional. It's a life-or-death type of thing."
Abby and Jane Crews have been writing a blog since their father's diagnosis. Abby wrote about the visit the next day.
"Joey Votto couldn't have been a nicer, more humble, and down to Earth guy," Abby Crews wrote. "He talked with my dad for a long time (we know Jeff can be a talker). Joey saw us trying to interrupt Dad for a picture and quietly said to him "sir would you like to get a picture for your kids?" – it was effective at getting dads attention! Joey then gave Jeff an autographed authentic bat. It is a Joey Votto bat with the official engravings on it and a nice note from Joey. After a few autographs, and what felt like an eternity of standing their drooling and not coming up with anything significant to say, Joey went back to practice. It was a fantastic experience that none of us will ever forget."
On Tuesday, Abby Crews remembered what that day meant to her father.
"It was really his last full day of feeling well, he was totally overwhelmed, he was so excited he couldn't sleep that night," Abby Crews said.
Two days later, Crews died.
"My dad was an amazing man. He loved baseball and was very active with all of us kids in every aspect of our lives – including sports," Jane Crews wrote in an e-mail.
"We all played baseball/softball and it was rare for my dad to miss a game! As far as my younger sister and I are concerned we both played softball for Centerville High School and anyone involved with the program knew our dad. He helped with the boosters program, followed the teams stats closely and was our own personal coach in the back yard growing up. I remember being a young girl and telling my dad I wanted to play softball. He walked me into our garage, opened up a shelf drawer, grabbed a brand new ball still in its box, pulled the lid open and handed me my first ball. I always will cherish that memory and many more when it comes to him and baseball."
The Crews' blog post went viral on Tuesday, first appearing on The Big Lead, and then spreading all over the world via the Associated Press.
Abby Crews said she's grateful her father's story could be spread, and like the rest of her family, is thankful Votto and the Reds could give the family one last memory. Jeff and Colleen Crews, who would have been married 34 years in October, watched the game by the Reds' dugout while the four children sat behind home plate. After the final out, they joined their parents, celebrating, hugging, crying and taking pictures.
Jane Crews said her father was a devoted Christian, and would love for nothing more than any donations in his memory being given to the Dayton Gospel Mission.
For Abby Crews, she'll always remember the fifth inning of Bailey's no-hitter. That's when she and her dad got ice cream together.
"I said, 'dad, there's something kind of going on in this game, I don't want to say anything about it, I just wanted to make sure you are aware of what's going on,'" Abby Crews remembered, careful to uphold the baseball superstition of not mentioning a no-hitter while a pitcher is throwing a no-hitter. "He said, 'I'm aware -- quit talking about it.' I was just checking. He was totally there, that was totally him, big baseball fan and having a blast."

Interdisciplinary Research at the Intersection of CALL, NLP, and SLA: Methodological Implications From an Input Enhancement Project
Despite the promise of research conducted at the intersection of computer-assisted language learning (CALL), natural language processing, and second language acquisition, few studies have explored the potential benefits of using intelligent CALL systems to deepen our understanding of the process and products of second language (L2) learning. The strategic use of technology offers researchers novel methodological opportunities to examine how incremental changes in L2 development occur during treatment as well as how the longitudinal impacts of experimental interventions on L2 learning outcomes occur on a case-by-case basis. Drawing on the pilot results from a project examining the effects of automatic input enhancement on L2 learners' development, this article explores how the use of technology offers additional methodological and analytical choices for the investigation of the process and outcomes of L2 development, illustrating the opportunities to study what learners do during visually enhanced instructional activities.

Abstract T
his paper gives an overview of the MultiTal project, which aims to create a research infrastructure that ensures long-term distribution of NLP tools descriptions. The goal is to make NLP tools more accessible and usable to end-users of different disciplines. The infrastructure is built on a meta-data scheme modelling and standardising multilingual NLP tools documentation. The model is conceptualised using an OWL ontology. The formal representation of the ontology al- lows us to automatically generate organised and structured documentation in different languages for each represented tool.

This looks interesting - EU project
"Taking a psycholinguistic orientation within task‐based language teaching scholarship, this study investigated the effects of mode (oral vs. written) and task complexity on second language (L2) performance ..."
Among other detailed results, the study found that
1. L2 learners can draw on their interlanguage variably and display different linguistic behaviors depending on the mode (oral or written) in which a task is performed. Our participants spent more time and used more complex syntax as well as more varied vocabulary when they performed the task in writing. Mode also influenced propositional complexity, as speakers produced more idea units overall, but writers employed extended idea units to a higher degree. These findings provided empirical evidence for the theoretical prediction that the oral and written modes offer different opportunities for language practice and development, and, consequently, mode can constitute a task design feature that may contribute to the development of distinct L2 competencies
2. Task complexity had different effects in writing and in speech. Overall, we found that (a) task complexity effects were more noticeable in writing in the areas of propositional complexity, accuracy, and time on task, and (b) increases in task demands had similar effects on the linguistic complexity in both modes. Thus, we found that both writers' and speakers' productions were more syntactically complex overall (see also Tavakoli, 2014) and exhibited more sophisticated vocabulary in the complex version of the task, compared to the simple version.
3. Increases in task demands enhanced certain aspects of L2 performance in both modes, which allowed us to conclude that task complexity constitutes an important task variable that can influence L2 performance and subsequent learning.
Shona Whyte's insight:
Learners performed simple or complex versions of task in spoken or written mode, and productions were analysed using a variety of complexity and accuracy measures. The article is open access at present and you can even see the task (pictured)

Book of Mormon
One of the four volumes of scripture accepted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is an abridgment by an ancient prophet named Mormon of the records of the ancient inhabitants of the Americas. It was written to testify that Jesus is the Christ. Concerning this record, the Prophet Joseph Smith, who translated it by the gift and power of God, said: "I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book" (see the introduction at the front of the Book of Mormon).
The Book of Mormon is a religious record of three groups of people who migrated from the Old World to the American continents. These groups were led by prophets who recorded their religious and secular histories on metal plates. The Book of Mormon records the visit of Jesus Christ to the people in the Americas following his resurrection. A two hundred-year era of peace followed that visit of Christ.
Moroni, the last of the Nephite prophet-historians, sealed up the abridged records of these people and hid them in about A.D. 421. In 1823, the resurrected Moroni visited Joseph Smith and later delivered to him these ancient and sacred records to be translated and brought forth to the world as another testament of Jesus Christ.
- Joseph is a fruitful bough whose branches run over the wall:Gen. 49:22–26;
- Truth shall spring out of the earth:Ps. 85:11; ( Morm. 8:16; Moses 7:62; )
- The Lord will lift up an ensign to the nations and will hiss unto them:Isa. 5:26;
- A voice shall speak out of the ground:Isa. 29:4; ( 2 Ne. 26:14–17; )
- The vision of all has become as the words of a book that is sealed:Isa. 29:11; ( Isa. 29:9–18; 2 Ne. 27:6–26; )
- The sticks of Joseph and of Judah shall be one in the Lord's hand:Ezek. 37:15–20;
- Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold:John 10:16; ( 3 Ne. 15:16–24; )
- The Book of Mormon and the Bible will grow together:2 Ne. 3:12–21;
- The Lord's words will hiss forth unto the ends of the earth:2 Ne. 29:2;
- The Lord covenanted with Enos to bring forth the Book of Mormon to the Lamanites:Enos 1:15–16;
- The Book of Mormon was written for the intent that we may believe the Bible:Morm. 7:9;
- The Book of Mormon shall stand as a testimony against the world:Ether 5:4;
- Ask God if these things are not true:Moro. 10:4;
- Christ bore testimony that the Book of Mormon is true:D&C 17:6;
- The Book of Mormon contains the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ:D&C 20:9; ( D&C 20:8–12;
- We believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God:A of F 1:8;

Could not be happier, great piece of equipment
Really good pedals
By EJC
from San Diego, CA
Been on these pedals for about 500 miles and they're great. Lots of float, so you can find a position that's comfortable for you. Easy to pop out of and have never accidentally pulled out of them. The only minor issue I have is that I occasionally have to do a little boogying to clip in. Not a big deal though.Would definitely buy again.
knee friendly
By Dan
from Lexington, KY
huge float fixed my knee pain. You must use cleat covers becaude if you step in mud the cleat has to be cleaned which takes some time. It took about 15,000 miles to wear out the pedals. I have bought the same replacement pedals. SPD cleats are simpler to use but hurt my knees.

Saved My Knees
By evildeer

I was having knee problems with my SPD pedals no matter how I adjusted them, and thought I was going to have to give up cycling.These pedals are great. They have a LOT of float and they've been reliable for me for a few thousand miles now. The knee problems are gone.Very highly recommended.

Easy In and Out, That's It
By JT the Climber
from Madison, WI
I moved to these Speedplays to try something different this season. I was riding Looks and these had me sold with low stack height, free float, and low weight. Initially, these worked well for me. Unfortunately, I started having left knee soreness after long rides soon after the switch. I tried fore-aft and rotational cleat positioning, with no change. I moved to SPD-SL at the end of the season (of 1200 miles) and won't look back. Immediately I had relief from my knee soreness.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Saved my knees
By Dr S
from Coral Springs, Florida
These pedals have the maximum amount of float. My knees immediately stopped hurting when I started using them. Unlike my old shimano's, I have NEVER had trouble clicking out and I am yet to fall with these after 6 momths of riding. Outstanding! You will not be sorry with this purcahse.
easy to use
By g d
from MD
Takes a little while to get used to the free float, but after that these are great. Easy to clip in and out of, except hard to clip in if cleats get dirty. Have 4 or 5 thousand miles on mine and still feel smooth.
(3 of 3 customers found this review helpful)
Good but drawbacks
By Don R
from Columbus Ohio
I have two pairs of these and have put a lot of miles on both. On the plus side the dual-sided entry is very convenient, especially if you ride in city/suburban areas and need to clip out frequently. However the bearings on one pair of mine wore out after a few thousand miles. The other pair is still working. Use caution if you stand on wet ground/mud as the cleats can get these clogged pretty easily which can make clipping in difficult. Also, the cleats are metal which can be extra slippery when you walk on floors.

So sad.
"I really love the style of this shoe in the black and I saw the red and pink ones on sale and I thought why not! Unfortunately, the red ones look a little too like Dorothy and the red just was no good for my olive-skin tone. The strap looked shimmery and cheap; I had the impression it would snap off any day."
