Indiana State University's intercollegiate athletics program has been granted recertification for a full 10 years by the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification.
Similar to accreditation of academic programs, certification is intended to ensure integrity in a college or university's athletics program and to assist institutions in improving their athletics departments.
Indiana State is among 35 colleges and universities whose recertification was announced by the NCAA today (April 16).
"It is indeed a significant achievement to be recertified by the NCAA as a Division I program," said ISU President Daniel J. Bradley. "This action is just one more indication of Indiana State's commitment to excellence in athletics as well as academics. We can all be proud of this achievement."
The certification process involved a self-study led by an institution's president or chancellor and a campus visit by a peer review team. It included a review of governance and commitment to rules compliance; academic integrity; equity; and the well-being of student-athletes. Certification means an institution operates its athletics program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership.
"I am pleased, but certainly not surprised, to learn the NCAA has granted Indiana State its highest level of certification. The people we have in our university and athletics department that worked diligently to research and prepare the evidence for this certification are outstanding," said Athletics Director Ron Prettyman.
"During the past 10 years, since our last certification, Indiana State University has operated the athletics program with pride and excellence. Those qualities were recognized by the NCAA. I want to thank the many faculty, staff, students and community members for a job well done throughout the certification process."
Indiana State's 117-page self-study report demonstrated the university's commitment to recruiting student-athletes with the ability to excel in the classroom as well as in athletic competition.
During the reporting period used in the recertification process, graduation success rates at Indiana State exceeded the national rate for all Division I athletes, with four sports – baseball, softball, men's tennis and women's soccer – achieving rates of 100 percent. ISU players have frequently been recognized for their academic achievements by the Missouri Valley Conference and national organizations.
The self-study also reviewed Indiana State's compliance with NCAA rules, and contains plans for ongoing improvement in the areas of equity and student-athlete welfare.
A 16-member steering committee chaired by David Wright, assistant to the vice president for student affairs, oversaw the self-study portion of the process. The committee included faculty, staff and student representatives as well as community members and a member of the Board of Trustees.
The NCAA launched its certification process in 1993. The second round of athletics certifications is being completed on a 10-year cycle rather than the five-year cycle used during initial certification. All 326 active Division I members participate in the NCAA certification process.

"In accepting the offer to join Ropes & Gray, Ray accepted Roscoe Trimmier's assurances that Ropes 'does not see black and white, only shades of Ropes & Gray.'"
That's paragraph 75 from the latest complaint filed by John H. Ray III, a 2000 graduate of Harvard Law School and an African-American man, against his former employer, Ropes & Gray. According to Ray, the firm, after initially embracing him with open arms, turned on him. Ray claims that he was subjected to racial discrimination and retaliation, which made his time at the firm more painful than pleasurable. And, unlike Anastasia Steele of Fifty Shades of Grey (affiliate link), Ray did not enjoy the alleged abuse.
When we first wrote about Ray, he was proceeding pro se against Ropes & Gray. Now he has hired counsel — an experienced employment-discrimination litigator who has appeared before in these pages.
Let's find out who's representing John Ray, and take a closer look at the complaint — which features an Above the Law shout-out, interestingly enough….

Emerson Chief of Police Stan Bradley, whose department is investigating the accident, said Pray was traveling north on Highway 41 when a charter bus struck him. Bradley said the bus driver was neither impaired nor speeding.
"We were able to determine that the bus was traveling right at the speed limit at 55 mph," Bradley said. "Obviously a bicyclist is going to be going a lot slower than that and, therefore, you have a closing speed that is pretty high and when it struck him the weight ratio versus speed is going to cause pretty bad damage to the human body.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Pray was wearing his helmet during the accident. He was transported to WellStar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta by ambulance, but did not survive his injuries.
Emerson police have determined Pray was legally in the right-hand lane and not at fault.
"He was doing everything legally. A bicyclist, anybody on a bicycle, is legally [allowed] on a roadway other than an interstate. You can't be on a limited access highway like an interstate. Any other roadway a bicyclist can be on. They have to stay in the right-hand lane and to the far right-hand side of that lane, still in the roadway, still to the left side of the fog line, but as close as they can get. [That] is where he was when he was struck," Bradley said.
To Bradley's knowledge this was the second fatal accident involving a bicyclist on Highway 41 in 10 years. He added the figure was for Emerson's area of Highway 41 and there were likely other accidents or fatalities on other sections of the highway.
The bus driver's identity and any charges are not yet available as the investigation is still ongoing. However, Bradley said the charges and driver's identity would likely be released Nov. 26.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 10 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ann11 Great Bag Love this bag- it's a little bit bigger that my other Tory hobo bag, but the bigger the better. Love that is has 3 different colors so it can be worn with many outfits. January 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Melissia Great Everyday Bag The Sammy Hobo is a versatile everyday handbag that can be dressed up for work or for casual outings on the weekend. It was just as described. The leather is soft and buttery. I was lucky to get one, it was sold out at several department stores and at the Tory Burch store in my city. January 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MercurysSiren Ohhh La La!!! This bag is beautiful! When I opened up the box I about fell over! So pretty, and the color blocking is the perfect combo. The hardward sparkles!!! I don't think this bag is too big at all! I'm 5'1'' and it does not overwhelm me at all. I have recieved so many compliments!! I am a registered nurse, and this bag definately spruces up my scrubs! HA! and of course it looks sharp with jeans and a dressy top. Goes with everything!!! January 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Janeymom Big but beautiful! The purse is large and the strap is shorter than I expected, but the leather is very nice and it is constructed very well. I expect it to hold up and not bend too much. I like the light colored inside lining - easy to find things like keys. January 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mary46 Beautiful hobo, but much larger than I anticipated! This hobo is stunning, with beautiful color-blocking, but it was way larger than I wanted. Even though the dimensions were given, a side view would have been really helpful; it gives a proportional view. I will be returning it for a smaller handbag. January 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GrammaB Beyond fabulous A beautiful bag that goes with everything! I have gotten a zillion compliments. I actually hoped it would smaller than it is but it's great! January 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Akhollli Exquisite Bag A perfect color combination to blend with most outfits! Very roomy and beautiful hardware. January 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by ShoeFanatic7 A bit dull This bag is huge. With that said, the colors look a bit boring for me. On my shoulder, it just didn't pop the way my other Tory bags do. Therefore, I decided to return. January 9, 2014

Have you ever been in a conversation that went something like this?
A: "Visual Basic? It's really easy. You just code it."
Matt: "What do you mean?"
A: "There's really nothing to explain, you just do it."
Or perhaps:
A: "Does everyone know what page objects are?"
Matt: (Raises hand) "I might, but my readers might not. Could you explain it for us?"
It was in graduate school, in CS 641 (Management of Software Development), about fifteen years ago. Our professor, Dr. Roger Ferguson, was explaining the great benefit of the waterfall model for software:
The great benefit of the waterfall model is that it is easy for management.
Testing takeaways from StarEast software testing conference 2014.
Zeger Van Hese led the keynote "Testing in the Age of Distraction" at StarEast and shared productivity tips and hacks.
This year I've been talking about skills in testing, and today I want to talk about a big one: Multi-Variate optimization.
Sounds impressive, don't it?
Don't worry. While Multi Variate Optimization is important in test, it is also a simple concept, one you probably use at work every day ... and one that you can get better at.
We all all familair with optimizing a single variable: Trying to get the best price for a product without trading off anything else.
Multi-variable optimization involved trading off other things.
I sat in on a keynote presentation given by Jennifer Bonine at STAREAST 2014 to learn about the importance of communication in relation to the ability to change.
Hundreds of people sat in on the first keynote on May 8, Extreme Automation: Software Quality for the Next Generation Enterprise, with Theresa Lanowitz. She is the founder of voke inc., a software industry analyst firm.
Lanowitz's presentation covered the global trends in testing, emerging technologies, and (of course) extreme automation.
I was lucky enough to sit in on a presentation by Lee Copeland, who gave a speech on public speaking at STAREAST 2014 in Orlando, Florida.
I sat in on a keynote presentation given by Randy Rice at STAREAST 2014 to learn about the importance of understanding key principles before testing.
We're getting excited for StarEast next week!

Largest selection of Parrot Food, all available for next day delivery. Choose from all the top brands of complete food and pellets for total nutrition.
Weve also got a large range of Parrot seed, nuts and treats plus breeding and hand-rearing food.
Parrot Food
Parrot food used to be a dusty concoction of mainly sunflower seed with maybe a bit of dried fruit or nuts in if you were lucky. Thankfully we now know better than that although the majority of Parrots seen by vets still suffer from malnutrition.
As with people, a variety of different Parrot foods is necessary to get a balanced diet including fresh fruit and vegetables, grains, sprouted seed, a protein source and often a vitamin & mineral supplement.
The best way to make sure you are providing the best food for your Parrot is to use a complete Parrot food, also known as a formulated diet or pellet. These contain all the nutrition your Parrot needs and should be fed as the main portion of the diet. You can add a variety of other suitable items to the food in small quantities without compromising the overall balance.

The EO Travel Backpack is a versatile pack that's ideal for overnight travel alone or as a companion piece with other EO Travel bags.
The triple coated front panel provides weather resistance while the padded back panel, sternum strap and shoulder straps allow for comfortable and stable carrying.
A dedicated technology compartment features a padded sleeve that fits up to a 17" MacBook Pro, an iPad slip pocket, and smart organization for cables, chargers and other accessories
Even better, the tech compartment's butterfly design opens flat for quick and easy airport security screening. This allows you to keep electronics fully protected as your bag passes through the scanner, and eliminates the hassle of moving your devices to security bins.
The EO Backpack is a versatile travel backpack designed for overnight trips.
The EO Travel Collection has been custom designed for a new generation of travelers who rely on personal technology for business, pleasure and inspiration.
Dimensions (Expanded)
18.5" x 12" x 6.3" (18.5" x 12" x 9")
47cm x 30.5cm x 16cm (47cm x 30.5cm x 23cm)
Volume (Expanded)

Compatibility Fits 17" MacBook Pro
I've had this bag for about a month and it is 100% better than the travel backpack I used to carry. Lots of compartments for all my stuff- chargers, notebooks, computers, magazines etc. plus can comfortably hold 2 days of clothes. I had my suit in the bag for two days and hardly noticed. Maybe some more colors would be cool?
The design of this bag is great. You can fit a ton of clothes & gadgets. However, be prepared to have a large bag on your back. When fully loaded, the backpack is huge. Luckily the compression straps help minimize that. I love this bag and it complements my duffle and roller whenever I travel.
Got this online finally as it is not available in Singapore. At first wasn't as impressed by it when it arrived compared to what I saw on the internet. But man it is huge and functional! I am in Bali now and I managed to squeeze in 4 days worth change of clothes, my ipad, books and cables. When out walking on the streets if Bali, I had on the backpack and used it to stash my purchases and food with lots of space left over.
Only gripe, the front panel water resistant doesn't help you in the rain ; the other fabric segments will still get wet. The bag is over 1kg itself so it can be quite a sore when carrying long hours (and I like carrying on single strap). The other thing to note when fully loaded is that the handles (top and the in eat the side) is fixed a little offset the centre when you extend the centre luggage compartment, thus carrying it by those handles feels a little off balance.
Space for 2 days travel is a massive understatement, I managed to easily pack in 5-6 days worth of clothing consisting of 2x pants, 1x walk shorts, 6x tee's, 6x boxer/briefs and pairs of socks, 2x long sleeve shirts along with a 13" MBP+GoPro and associated chargers, A5 journals and travel documents...and I still had room to spare easily.
The pack was not overloaded or bulging at the seams at all, and was very comfortable to wear. Your main limitation is your airline of choice and their carry on weight limit (if they check you carry on's weight that is).
My only gripe is the fleece lined stash pocket under the top strap is not wide enough and slightly annoying to access, it would have been a perfect sunglasses stash pocket had it been a bit wider (I use it for my GoPro instead). Also the overall lack of rigidity is slightly annoying for the aesthetics of the bag as it can look bulged or out of proportion when not packed immaculately (but thats the OCD/fussy in me).
I waited long and hard, and did as much research as possible before I bit the bullet and bought this bag...and I am very happy with the purchase, well done Incase.
Love this thing for business travel. No more carry ons or over stuffing my regular lap top bag.
Well made back pack. Pricey but very durable. I make excuses to go places, so I can use it. Probably get a roller down the road. So much room to pack in such a little area!
it's a really cool item and designed from the eye of a 2-day business traveller.
I just received my new EO backpack, and it is awesome! Best backpack I've own so far.
A better experience through good design.

Paperwork from a deluge of appeals postponed the second round of bills for a statewide fire prevention fee that affects residents in unincorporated areas of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
According to Daniel Berlant, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the California Board of Equalization received more than 87,000 appeals in response to nearly 800,000 bills sent to California households in the latter half of 2012.
Of those 87,000 appeals, he said, about 71 percent are based on protests of taxation.
"There was a very strong movement to have residents appeal (the fee)," Berlant said. "Out of nearly 800,000 — that's over 10 percent."
Each appeal must be handled individually.
For that reason, Berlant said, the decision was made to postpone the second round of billing, which had been planned to take place in the spring but had no firm date set.
"We want to make sure that our bills are as accurate as possible," he said. "We do want to catch the ones that have legitimate changes that need to be made."
The fee is aimed at stabilizing revenue for Cal Fire, the state wildland fire protection agency, which relies on fluctuating property tax revenue.
Homeowners within areas designated as the state's responsibility for fire protection are charged between $115 and $150 per habitable building in the unincorporated areas of California, including Bonny Doon, San Lorenzo Valley and parts of Scotts Valley.
Properties within the boundaries of a local fire protection district were billed $115, while those outside were billed $150. Cal Fire estimated the fee would raise $89 million annually for the agency.
The fee has been widely derided by residents, local governments, fire protection agencies and watchdog organizations, some of which have described it as a tax illegally foisted upon homeowners because it was never presented to voters, which Proposition 13 requires of a tax destined for a special purpose.
In protest of the fees, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association filed a class-action lawsuit in October and is awaiting a court date.
Berlant said there was no timetable yet for the second round of billing to begin, but homeowners would be notified in advance.

The annual event also is in homage of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena who was murdered in Guadalajara, Mexico, in 1985.
"We have been dressing up each day in celebration of a drug-free life," Pine Log Elementary School counselor Francie Livingston said. "Each class for this week and next week, because we couldn't get everyone in one week, comes to guidance in my classroom and we're doing some activities depending on the grade level."
She continued, "It's really focusing on we are better than having to use drugs."
According to the latest statistics from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 22.6 million children over 12 — the age of a sixth or seventh grade middle school student — and 17.4 million children over 12 have reported using illicit drugs and marijuana, respectively.
The survey further states, "In 2010, the rate of current illicit drug use was approximately 8.5 times higher among youths aged 12 to 17 who smoked cigarettes in the past month (52.9 percent) than it was among those who did not smoke cigarettes in the past month (6.2 percent).
"In 2010, the rate of current illicit drug use also was associated with the level of past month alcohol use. Among youths aged 12 to 17 who were heavy drinkers (i.e., consumed five or more drinks on the same occasion on each of 5 or more days in the past 30 days), 70.6 percent were also current illicit drug users, which was higher than the rate among those who were not current alcohol users (5.1 percent)."
Livingston said she believes the biggest factor for elementary school students in terms of using drugs, alcohol or tobacco is curiosity and it is often driven from the home.
"They may see parents using —particularly tobacco products — and they're just kind of curious and decide to try it too," Livingston said.
Carrie Swann, a third grader, said she plans on living a drug-free lifestyle.
"[Drugs] can kill you ... or they can make you go to the hospital and then you might die there," she said.
Third grader Jackson Moss added, "[Drugs] can make you crazy and sometimes if you get all crazy on drugs then [someone] might have to kill you too."
Cartersville Middle School counselor Lori Rogers said much of Red Ribbon Week has a general focus on making positive decisions.
"[Wednesday] I met with a group of sixth graders and we talked about making good decisions and went over nine ways to get out of peer pressure situations," Rogers said. "We discussed it's not only about drugs and alcohol, but putting yourself at risk by doing dangerous things — that's obviously not going to help you live a long and healthy life."
For middle school students, Rogers said in her experience, the greatest factor in whether a student might try drugs, alcohol or tobacco comes from the influence of older friends.
"It could be an older cousin, it could be an older friend in high school, but [those students] are going to be exposed a lot faster to drugs or alcohol," Rogers said. "The [main] drug is marijuana, and also alcohol, those are the two I'm concerned about with most of my students."
She offered a solution if parents are concerned whether their children are using such substances.
"If there's a definite mood change or personality change, if [the child has] started hanging out with a different group of people, definitely don't let it slide and I would recommend [parents] even take their child to be tested," Rogers said. "Take them to the hospital or the doctor and have them take a drug test if they're concerned, but don't just ignore it because it's not going to go away because they're probably going to keep doing [drugs] and they need that basic adult supervision."

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate R500X1D by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Rockford Fosgate power for your sub Rockford Fosgate performance in a small package – this Prime Series R500X1D mono amp can drive a sub with up to 500 watts RMS, so you can really feel your bass rockin'. You can use the low-pass filter and Rockford Fosgate's famous Punch boost to get the best possible bass from the sub and enclosure in your vehicle. A phase switch gets your subs firing along with your other speakers for maximum impact, while the speaker-level inputs let you hook this amp up to almost any system, even a factory stereo. Rugged performance and value The R500X1D's heavy cast aluminum chassis efficiently draws damaging heat away from its internal components, ensuring reliable, long-term play. The amp's built-in sensors keep track of the output current and power supply temperature, ensuring that plunging subwoofer impedances (they change constantly during play) or even a short circuit won't hurt anything. The included wired remote lets you control the amp's volume level from the front seat. Your driver's seat will become your favorite place for listening once this Prime amp goes to work.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Features Overview: The Rockford Fosgate Prime R500X1D Class D mono amplifier is designed to power subwoofers. The Class D design and extruded aluminum heatsink allows the amplifier to run cool and efficiently, and results in a small footprint. CEA 2006 Compliant: The R500X1D's power ratings are measured according to the uniform standards advocated by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards allow you to accurately compare the rated power output and signal to noise ratio of all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even from different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to these standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. CEA2006 Specifications for this amplifier are: 4 Ohms: 300 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms, 14.4 volts, and less than 1% THD+N 2 Ohms: 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms, 14.4 volts, and less than 1% THD+N S/N: 80 dB, measured at 1 watt output (100 dB measured at rated power) LED Indicator: The amplifier is equipped with an LED power/protect indicator. The LED illuminates blue when the unit is turned on. It illuminates red if the thermal or short circuit protection circuit is engaged, and the amplifier will automatically turn off. Mounting: The amplifier can be mounted vertically or horizontally using the supplied mounting screws. The amplifier should never be mounted in an engine compartment as this will void the warranty. Controls Gain Control: Use the amplifier's gain control to match the output of the source unit. The rotary gain control is labeled 1 to 11 and has a sensitivity range of 150mV to 4V when using a preamp level signal, 450mV to 12V when using a speaker level signal. Remote Punch Level Control: The R500X1D includes a wired Remote Punch Level Control, linked to the gain control of the amplifier. The module allows you to remotely control the output level of the amplifier from the dash or center console. The Remote Punch Level Control features a rotary dial, and comes with mounting hardware and an 18' cable. Note: The Remote Punch Level Control measures approximately 1-3/4" wide (2-5/8" including the mounting flange) x 3/4" high x 1-5/8" deep (2-1/8" deep including the knob and wiring). Crossover: The amplifier is equipped with a 12dB/octave Butterworth low-pass crossover. The crossover point is continuously variable from 50 to 250 Hz. This being a subwoofer amp, the crossover is always engaged. Phase: The 2-position phase switch allows you to easily reverse the output phase of the amplifier, choose 0° or 180° to match the rest of your vehicle's speaker system. Punch EQ: The Punch EQ bass boost circuit is adjustable from 0 (min) to +12dB (max) and centered at 45Hz. Connections Power Terminals: The power and ground terminals are nickel-plated set screw terminals and will accommodate up to 4 AWG power and ground wires. Fuse: An external 50-amp fuse (not included) must be installed on the power wire at the battery. If a wiring kit is used which includes a fuse with a value other than 50-amps, the original should be replaced with a 50-amp fuse. Remote Turn-On Terminal: The remote turn-on terminal is a nickel-plated set screw terminal that will accommodate up to an 8 AWG wire. It's used to remotely turn the amplifier on and off. Speaker Terminals: The one pair of speaker outputs is nickel-plated set screw terminals what will accommodate up to 8 AWG speaker wire. RCA Input Jacks: The industry standard RCA jacks provide an easy connection for preamp level input. They are nickel-plated to resist signal degradation caused by corrosion. Speaker Level Input: A speaker level input harness is included, making it easier to add the amplifier to a factory radio or to a receiver with no preamp outputs. RCA Output Jacks: A pair of RCA pass-thru jacks provides a convenient source for daisy-chaining an additional amplifier without running an extra set of RCA cables from the front of your vehicle to the amplifier location. Wired Remote: An RJ-25 jack is used with the included Remote Punch Level Control.

Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Amazing Written By Anonymous, Suffolk, VA on Wednesday, July 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love the way this amp performs and keeps the sub's slamming! Expect upwards if 600 RMS with this, mine came in rated at 652 RMS. Definatley worth the buy. Pros: Small, Compact, Sound Quality. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Bang for the Buck Written By CCH, KY on Monday, July 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Using this amp to power two R2D2-12" subs wired at a 2ohm load,and it rocks. The birth sheet that came with the amp showed that when it was tested it had a RMS power of 650 watts. Only have the amp turned up 1/4 of the way and on certain songs I am afraid to turn it up any more because I don't think the twelves can handle it. For it size and price you will not find a better amp. Clean sound, Great heat distribution, Remote volume level (punch level), and Crutchfield lifetime tech support, you can't go wrong. Pros: Price, Sound Cons: The light on the remote volume control is to bright for night. Nothing that a black sharpie couldn't fix. Was this review helpful?

This powers my 10inch Rockford like its nothing. Pros: Easy hookups and nice clean power an runs relatively cool. Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 2 r500x1d on 2 15" soundstream r2's Written By synister audio, madras oregon on Monday, June 23, 2014 I originally bought 2 of these little amps to get through till i got my alternator in so i can run my big amps. That was some 5 or so months ago now and i refuse to switch them out. I have 2 of these each pushing a 15" soundstream r2 and they do it with no effort what so ever at only 5 out.of 11 they are almost too much for the subs. When they came in i opened the box and seen first off the birth sheet stating 620 rms watts and i couldnt believe it. I have both along with my bass processor mounted under the back 40 side of my 60/40 split bench with room to spare and even with both right next to each other they never get even remotly warm even after hours of continuous play time. Absolutly no issues with this amp and couldnt be more then pleased and for the money i promise you can not find a better deal. Will soon be purchacing 2 more of these and 2 of the 1000's for my test bench. Buy this and never buy another amp again. Keep ot up rockford im a customer for life. Pros: Small in size, big in power, runs cool, mounts anywhere, made by the best. Great sound quality, includes remote and packs at least 120 watts rms more then stated Cons: Only complaint is i wish it was 1 ohn stable so.i could suck out a few more watts but when i wire my subs too 1 ohm the light goes red, at 2 ohns tho no issues Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Amp Written By Seth, Jackson Missouri on Wednesday, December 04, 2013 I have this amp powering a Rockford Fosgate P2D4 12" sub and WOW. The sub is rated at 400rms, my amp gain is on 4.5 of 11and im afraid to turn it up any more! I love this amp! Very powerful! I even drive to my cabin an hour away listening to my music and amp never remotely gets warm Pros: Small, Powerful, looks great, runs very cold Cons: not a single thing 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Rockford Fosgate R500X1D Written By Nate, Denver Co on Monday, September 30, 2013 This amp is awesome. Everything I expected plus some. It powers my subs great and runs really cool. Pros: Great amp, lots of power, crisp clean sound Cons: None 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 questions already asked Can this push my 2 12" Fosgate P3D2? I was told this can power them at 500w rms each [ Kaleb Jun 11, 2014 ] 1 answer I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: That amp would not be able to handle two subwoofers as it would only give them 250 watts RMS each. You would need to go with something like the Rockford Fosgate Prime R1200-1D which would give them 400 watts RMS each. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. [ Krissy Staff Jun 13, 2014 ] Hey, I'm just wondering on how to tune it well? I want a deeper bass rather than a punch. It seems like whenever I turn it up too high it distorts instead of playing the lows. Could you help me? Thank you!

Perfect for cooking everything from chicken breasts and veg (for the more healthily inclined) to cheese paninis, George Foreman really is the only man worth trusting in your kitchen! Ideal for those with a big hungry family, the grill has a cooking surface big enough for 7 portions of food and features a state-of-the-art temperature control system that gives you complete control of the temperature you grill your food at. Simply place whatever you fancy for dinner on the grilling pad and close the lid - the grill cooks from both the top and bottom at the same time so you don't even have to flip your food over, plus it removes up to 42% fat which is channelled away into an easy to clean drip tray... Fantastic!

"Love, Loss, and Longing"
Toibin presents nine moving stories about love, loss, and longing that span decades, eras, countries, and lifestyles. The effect of such diversity is the recognition of the emotions we all share. In the opening story, Lady Gregory, young wife of an older and no longer terribly interested husband, falls into a dangerous and short-lived affair with a married poet. Two of the stories deal with young men handling the deaths of the mother figures in their lives. In "One Minus One," a young Irish man, now living in Texas, recalls his earlier return to Dublin for his mother's funeral and the loss of his gay lover. In "The Colour of Shadows," Paul, a young gay Irishman, must take responsibility for the last days of the aunt who raised him as she falls deeper into Alzheimer's and ill health. Aunt Josie tends to forget who he is, and when she remembers, she expresses rigid disapproval of his lifestyle. "Two Women" features an elderly, cantankerous but renowned set designer who returns to Dublin to work on what may be her last film. Along the way, she finds herself reminiscing about an early love. The longest and perhaps most touching story in the collection, "The Street" focuses on two Pakistani men who fall in love while working under exploitive conditions in post-Franco Barcelona.
Toibin's gentle, poetic prose hits just the right notes for each of these stories. He reminds us that, even though we inevitably realize that love is not necessarily forever, it's part of the human condition to yearn for it, seek for it, bring it back to life within our hearts and minds, if only as the shadow of a memory.
"Good--But Not as Good as Q & A"
I am a big fan of Vikas Swarup's 'Q & A', the book upon which the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' is very loosely based; in fact, I will be teaching it again this fall in a gen ed lit course. So, naturally, I was eager to read his latest novel. Sadly, it did not live up to his first.
Like 'Q & A,' Swarup has created a frame around which to build his story. In the former, it was a series of questions the protagonist is asked on a game show; here, it is seven tests that the protagonist must pass in order to be named CEO of a huge company, a prize that will enable her to leave her boring, low-paying job in an electronics store and to provide for her widowed mother and younger sister. Both story lines are a bit fantastic, but this one lacks the delight in coincidence that figured into Q & A. Instead, Sapna is put to a series of grueling tests--without ever knowing until they are over that they actually were tests. Some of them border on downright cruelty. Sapna is warned that the final test will be the most difficult. It certainly is--but it is also way over the top and unbelievable, as is the final resolution.
"Somewhat Disappointing"
I was very interested in the main subject of this book, Mary Todd Lincoln's confinement to Belleview Hospital for the Insane, which was granted by her son Robert's petition to the court. I wondered if being present at her husband's assassination had driven her mad, and I had heard that much of Robert's motivation was to get his hands on her money.
Newman does a good job of depicting life in the asylum, and, as a reader, I was frustrated by the restrictions put upon Mary. She could not spend a penny, move a foot, have a single visitor, or send a letter without Robert's express permission--a situation that must have been hard on the former first lady. The author takes us back through events in Mary's life that strongly influenced her: the death of her mother and her father's remarriage to an unaffectionate stepmother who sent her off to boarding school; family resistance to her engagement to Lincoln; the death of her sons; newspaper attacks; the assassination; etc. But on the whole, Mary does not come off sympathetically. She's depicted mainly as somewhat of a nymphomaniac; Lincoln complains that her passion is too strong and makes her promise to withhold it, and he is often so repelled by it that he avoids her bed (which of course only makes her more sexually frustrated). Mary later concludes that this suppression is the reason her son Robert is so unaffectionate. In addition, she's a neurotic shopaholic. During the war, when thousands are suffering and dying, she wracks up bills that her husband simply cannot pay, squandering tens of thousands of dollars on jewelry and silver tea services "because they will last." She stashes the goods in the attic and visits them as totems that will keep her husband and sons alive. If that isn't crazy, I don't know what is!
The thing I hated most about the book was the sex scenes. Don't get me wrong: sex can be good, and I don't mind it in most novels, as long as it's appropriate. But I really, REALLY did not want those detailed graphic descriptions of sex between Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, both in younger days and their middle age. Some things you just do NOT need to visualize! Newman also details a one-night stand Mary has with a New York escort; whether this has any basis in fact, I do not know, but I could have done without it.
If, like me, you'd like to know more about the subject matter, I'd advise you to skip this one and find a credible biography. It raised a lot of questions for me about Mary's political influence and her confinement that really weren't satisfactorily answered for me here. I'm giving the novel three stars, mainly because it did raise questions, and because the first half or so did keep me engaged.
The reader was fine enough, but there are a number of glitches in this recording--at least six instances where a line is flubbed and repeated. Very annoying!
"Couldn't Finish This One"
This collection of short stories by Australian Olga Masters left me very frustrated. I didn't care for the way many of them started by throwing the reader into the middle of the story, and I cared even less for the abrupt, unresolved endings (the stories just stopped, as if the writer had fallen asleep at her desk). Worse still was the overall tone and subject matter. Nearly every story involved child or wife beating, intended, I suppose, the show how tough life was for people trying to scrape a living in small towns and the outback. I just can't get into a father beating his son bloody at the dinner table while all his wife does is offer him brownies in an attempt to distract him, and one of the daughters keeps throwing out more suggestions for why her brother needs to be beaten to ramp up the violence. I got about 2/3 through this one and just couldn't take any more.
"Just Not an Alice Munro Fan"
I know that I am part of a very small minority, but I am not an Alice Munro fan. Her stories aren't bad, but to me, they are just incredibly boring. I will give her credit for writing realistic contemporary dialogue, and I guess it's a talent to be able to write a long story about ordinary people in fairly ordinary situations. And there are brief moments of insight into human nature. But that's about all I have to say. I've now read several of her collections, and I've felt the same way about each. It's never a good sign when you are about halfway through a story and just want it to end . . . For the last 100 pages, I kept thinking about what I will read next. (Hint: It won't be by Alice Munro.) The reader is OK; she has that quiet monotone that is typical of readers of "important" literature that supposedly speaks for itself--the Poetry Reading Voice.
"Rather Disappointing"
Sorry to say that, in the end, I'm rather disappointed with this one. Gardam uses an epistolary framework--although it's hard to remember that midway, when the letters become so lengthy and self-absorbed that the reader forgets there is a supposed recipient. The writer/narrator, Eliza Peabody, is a middle-aged know-it-all who initially feels compelled to proffer her superior wisdom--gained a s a hospice volunteer--to her neighbor, Joan, who apparently suffers from debilitating pain in one leg. Eliza has decided that Joan's pain is psychosomatic and advises her to just get over it, offering her own help as an amateur psychotherapist. Surprisingly, after a few more letters, it is discovered that Joan has run off, leaving her leg brace in the marital bed. Although Joan never replies to Eliza's letters, we learn that she has embarked on a new life, travelling to exotic locations and having affairs with much younger foreign men. Periodically, gifts from Joan arrive--but never a letter. In the meantime, Eliza's own life takes a turn for the worst as her husband moves out to take a flat with Joan's abandoned husband. The letters continue, with Eliza portraying herself, narcissistically, as the abandoned spouse, now abandoned as well by any borderline friends she might have had, and making herself out to be the heroine of everyone's lives, from Joan's university-student daughter to Barry, a young man dying of AIDS in the hospice.
Initially, I was intrigued by Eliza's voice, which Gardam conveyed with much humor. But as the letters dragged on and the descriptions of her own escapades and musings became longer and more self-pitying, I got bored. Yes, I do understand that what Gardam was trying to portray was the sadness and near-madness of a woman who has isolated herself from everyone; it just didn't particularly interest me, and I found the one-sided epistolary device tedious.
Three stars for the writing and the creation of a complete character, plus the initial humor is Eliza's self-deceptive letters to Joan. But Gardam has written much better novels.
"Taking Down the Booker Prize"
This was my first experience reading Edward St. Aubyn, and I quite enjoyed the ride. Lost for Words is a send-up of the British literary scene--in particular, the Man Booker Prize and all the hubbub surrounding it. St. Aubyn clearly took his inspiration from the controversy of a few years back, when a semi-qualified panel decided to invoke popularity over literary quality. Several of the judges for the Elysian Prize for Literature have spurious qualifications; others unabashedly admit to not planning to read all the submitted books, and each is promoting a particular book because of preference (e.g., one likes nothing better than Scottish historical novels). The hopeful authors have their quirks as well. (My favorite was an Indian writer whose publisher mistakenly submits his aunt's cookbook instead of his own novel, The Mulberry Elephant.) St. Aubyn provides subtle humor in the behind-the-scenes rivalries and passions as well as the public debates. I saw the ending coming, but it was still fun getting there.
"Great Play (er, Novel), Great Reader, Great Fun"
This is the second adaptation of a Shakespearean play by Hartley and Hewson that I've listened to on audio, and it was just as much fun as the first. In part, this is due to the excellent choice of readers: Alan Cumming for Macbeth and Richard Armitage for Hamlet. If you are a Shakespearean purist who can't abide embellishments to the 1623 Folio, best skip these novelized versions. In the H & H Hamlet, for example, a key character is added: young Yorick, son of the old jester, who tries to knock Hamlet out of his melancholy with more wisdom than foolery and is a constant companion to the prince throughout the novel. You might also be put off by the cruelty of both Old Hamlet and Polonius, the portrait of Fortinbras as a rather bumbling and brooding braggart, the details offered regarding the relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia,and the fact that Ophelia's death is not depicted as a suicide here. But if you are willing to suspend what you already know about this cultural icon, you're in for quite an entertaining ride.
"Fascinating True Story"
I had not read any of Sue Monk Kidd's previous books--they sounded too much like the kind of schmaltzy Southern women's fiction that I really do not enjoy.. But this one sounded interesting, so I gave it a try. The main character is based on a real person, Sarah Grimke, the daughter of a Charleston judge and plantation owner. In the nineteenth-century, she shocked her family and community by becoming a Quaker and a noted abolitionist. Coming from a slave-holding family, she was the perfect spokesperson--once she overcame a stammer that she had had since childhood. She was also one of the first to speak in favor of women's rights. Her younger sister Angelina also became a renowned proponent of these causes.
The story is told in alternating chapters by Sarah and Handful, a slave she was given as a present on her 11th birthday and with whom the author imagines her forging a friendship. Both young women face struggles, Sarah to conform to social expectations that go against her core values, and Handful to survive the brutal realities of slavery.
At times predictable and also a bit longer than it needed to be, 'The Invention of Wings' is nevertheless an engaging read, particularly because of the unique and realistic voices Kidd creates for her two protagonists and the parallel events in their lives. The two readers are excellent.
"Not Trevor's Best"
While I did not appreciate this collection quite as much as I have others by Trevor, his usual skill in storytelling and style prevail. The twelve stories here are, if not exactly sad, wistful or regretful. Nearly all involve characters who have experienced the death of a loved one, the death of a relationship, or some other form of longing or loss, and the thin Irish melancholy pervades them all. Trevor is best writing about the 1960s and '70s, and the contemporary stories seem a bit lacking in truth. But, as always, Trevor is well worth the time. The various readers here are all quite good, however.
"Dickens the Hypocrite"
I have to begin by saying that I am not a Dickens fan, and as I read this book, I began to like him even less. Tomalin focuses on Dickens's relationship with the Ternan family, in particular his presumed affair with the youngest daughter, Ellen, best known as Nelly. She was only 18 at the time their affair began, Dickens 45. The Ternans were an acting family, and Dickens used his prestige first to persuade Mrs. Ternan and the girls to perform in his play 'The Frozen Deep,' then to secure various roles for her with his theatrical friends. Before long, he abandoned his wife (the mother of his 10 children), spreading rumors about her mental health and the ingratitude of her family members for all his assistance. (Wikipedia notes, "Matters came to a head in 1858 when Catherine Dickens opened a packet delivered by a London jeweller which contained a gold bracelet meant for Ternan with a note written by her husband.") Dickens began to lead a double life, leasing and purchasing a series of homes for Nelly, her sisters and her widowed mother--homes deliberately located further and further from the public eye. After all, the man whose works were supposed to be the moral compass of England couldn't be caught with a mistress! His financial and personal arrangements were handled through coded letters to friends who acted as go-betweens, including Wilkie Collins. Nelly was kept such a deep, dark secret that her identity was even hidden when she suffered a serious injury in a train derailment while traveling with Dickens. Tomalin posits that she had at least one, and perhaps two, pregnancies by Dickens but lost both babies shortly after birth. Later in life, long after Dickens's death, Nelly supposedly confessed the affair to her pastor, saying that she greatly regretted it and loathed Dickens in those last years but could not, financially, break away.
The last section of the book addresses Nelly's life post-Dickens and the history of both the coverup and revelation of the affair.
I felt sorry for both Catherine, Dickens's long-suffering wife, and for Nelly, a young woman pressured by poverty and impressed by celebrity. As for Dickens, what a pompous, self-righteous hypocrite!

The Ship Sails On - Symbolic Earrings
New Lower Price!!! Down from $765.
These silver and cobalt blue enamel earrings were most likely made to commemorate the R.N. Roma, an Italian WWII ship that sank during a battle. A grand total of 1453 lives were lost with only 569 people surviving. The life preserver motif has "R.N. Roma * SPQR" on one side and the word "Intangible" with a rope and love knot on the other. SPQR is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase "Senātus Populusque Rōmānus" (The Senate and People of Rome) used to represent the people of Rome. The loss of this ship was doubly tragic as it was sunk by the Germans as Italy had just signed an armistice with the Allied forces. Poignant and touching, these symbolic earrings are a testament to how jewelry is so much more than mere adornment.
Date: Circa 1943-1944.
Measurements: 1-1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in length including ear wire by 13/16 of an inch (2.1 cm) at the widest. Weight of 10.1 grams (6.5 dwt) for the pair.
