In order to enjoy travel to and within Europe, all travellers, including infants, require a valid passport.
Please note that the following information applies to leisure and business travel. Those seeking information on passports and visas for working in Europe will need to consult the Embassy for the country they wish to work in.
When applying for your passport from your government's passport authority, make sure you know how much time to allow for delivery, and be sure to give yourself extra time so that it arrives before your planned departure. If your passport is due to expire within six months of your departure, consider applying for a new one before your trip to Europe, as some countries may not accept a passport so close to expiration. Once you receive your passport, be sure to sign it and fill in the personal notification data immediately.
Travel visas may be required for some travellers or for those who are staying for longer periods of time (more than 30 to 90 days, depending on the country). You must be sure to find out what the regulations are for citizens of your home country and each European country to which you are travelling. The best place to find information on this is the Embassy or Consulate of the country/countries you wish to visit.
There is an area within Europe called the Schengen area. This is a group of countries which have all signed an agreement to make travel across their borders easier. In many cases, foreign visitors can obtain a single Schengen visa to visit any of the countries in this zone, instead of having to apply to each country individually. Usually, an application for a Schengen visa is made to the first country in the Schengen area that you wish to visit.
The 25 Schengen countries are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Hungary, Germany, Greece, Holland, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and
Please note that if you have a Schengen visa and you wish to visit another European country that is not the in the Schengen area, you may still need to obtain a separate visa for that country.
If you are a citizen of a Schengen country travelling to another Schengen country, you only need your ID card. A passport is not required in this case.
Should you lose your passport, report it to the local police and the nearest consulate or embassy for your country, which can reissue your passport when you are abroad. Carrying a photocopy of your passport with you, separately from your actual passport, can speed up replacement time if you do lose your passport. It is also advisable to carry two passport-sized photographs of yourself as these will be required to reissue your passport. Please note that in almost all cases, you will not be allowed to leave Europe without a valid passport.
Any electrical device you wish to bring on your trip can be used with the aid of an electrical travel kit.
Consider safeguarding your trip so that you can minimize the financial impact.
Check your health insurance policy to be sure you are covered while travelling abroad.

On the surface, the story of a newspaper company during an age of digital revolution does not seem like the best candidate for a gripping drama. In the hands of Andrew Rossi and through the eyes of David Carr, Brian Stelter, Bruce Headlam, and Tim Arango there lies something akin to The Social Network for the news business, a movie uniquely capturing this moment in time.
There's a scene midway through Page One when David Carr goes to meet the guys who run Vice, a brash and unvarnished multimedia content company that CNN just partnered with in an effort to court a younger demographic. "I don't do corporate portraiture," Carr tells them as they attempt to give him their pitch. Vice co-founder Shane Smith tries to make a case for why Vice is doing the job that the New York Times failed to do. "Everyone talked to me about cannibalism! That's fucking crazy! So the actual — our audience goes, "That's fucking insane, like, that's nuts!" And the New York Times, meanwhile, is writing about surfing, and I'm sitting there going like, "You know what? I'm not going to talk about surfing, I'm going to talk about cannibalism, because that fucks me up." Carr interrupts Smith for a history lesson "Just a sec, time out. Before you ever went there, we've had reporters there reporting on genocide after genocide. Just because you put on a fucking safari helmet and looked at some poop doesn't give you the right to insult what we do. So continue."
That moment sort of crystallizes the two worlds that Carr and the Times now live in. Countless outlets like Vice and others were born in an age where virtually anyone can cobble together a place on the media landscape, but often with little regard for those who came before them. Some are outright contemptuous of the Times and newspapers in general, as a few attendees at SXSW, the annual Austin gathering of digerati expressed by a show of hands that they would not miss the Times if it ceased to exist.
Others, like Markos Moulitsas, are annoyed by the perceived authority that the Times has, citing Judy Miller's blind acceptance of WMDs in the lead up to the war in Iraq as essentially being a stenographer for the Bush administration. The movie pulls no punches when it comes to the fiscal crisis at the Times and also the confidence crisis some had in their ability to provide the news, following the failings of Miller and Jayson Blair.
The fallout following their scandals coincides with the Times beginning to find its legs again, with the help of digital natives like Brian Stelter. Carr and Stelter come from different generations but they're both digital hybrids — one adapted to the present who has became even more influential because of it; the other absorbed by the wisdom of the past who has became a force to be reckoned with.

Summing It Up
Use "live chef" cooking stations or family-style service to break away from traditional chafing-dish presentations.
When Rick Waters was hired as Executive Chef for The Peachtree Club in January 2004, the private club was best known for the panoramic view of downtown Atlanta from its 28th- floor wedding and banquet facility.
Since then, Waters' personal goal has been to redirect the gazes of members and visitors away from the window and toward the centers of their plates. To do so, he uses not only innovative recipes, but also out-of-the-ordinary presentations.
At the Peachtree Club that means getting away from traditional "mass-produced" buffet chafing dishes and replacing them with live "cooking" stations, where chefs put the finishing touches on the food right before the guests' eyes. One particularly popular station features risotto, which is prepared in the kitchen, then reheated with chicken stock and cream and topped with a wild mushroom and truffle oil ragout in the dining room.
"Just the aroma of the truffle oil as it's pouring into the pan is enough to let people know that this dish is special," Waters says.
Waters also sometimes opts to give risotto an ultra-trendy twist by spiking it with smoky chipotle peppers, mixing in some crabmeat and smoked gouda, and forming the whole savory ensemble into two-ounce panko-coated cakes, served with a classic remoulade sauce.
Does this really go over well with people who are used to having the usual plates of chicken or prime rib plunked down in front of them at weddings?
"Thanks to the Food Network, many consumers tend to be a lot more savvy now about ingredients, and they're willing to try new things, in any setting," Waters feels. "They're looking for fresh ingredients and fresh concepts."
Striking a Balance
Club chefs do recognize that in banquet settings, extreme envelope-pushing—or "anything that guests might find weird or strange," as Ed Esneault, Executive Chef at the Foxwoods Resort Casino-affiliated Lake of Isles Golf Club in North Stonington, Conn., describes it—doesn't often extend to traditional entrees. Although Lake Of Isles has only been open for member dining and social functions since March (public debut is scheduled for May), Esneault recognizes that pleasing members and attracting non-members calls for a careful balance of creativity and caution. So while he does offer a filet of sole, he elevates it with a stuffing of lobster risotto.
Great ideas-including recipes- for buffets and events that will wow your members and guests.
Similarly, Marc Raffa, Executive Chef of the Philadelphia Cricket Club, acknowledges that crab cakes are often—and will likely continue to be—a preferred banquet item. When they're on the menu, he slips in a Thai accent with an accompanying lemon grass beurre blanc. For salmon, he adds cucumber lattice crust and cumin-scented tomato sauce.
And when Steven Russakoff, Executive Chef at Seattle's Ranier Golf and Country Club, serves chicken for a wedding or event, he takes it to a new level with a spinach and feta cheese, or a mousse of more chicken and pistachio nuts.
Durable dishes
Club chefs know there are limitations when trying to translate a delectable dinner for two into a feast for 200 or more. Some recipes have to be eliminated immediately because they're not durable enough to sit on a buffet table ("It can take people 45 minutes to get to a buffet," notes Russakoff). Others require too much last-minute work—a particular problem for a chef like Raffa who serves a la minute, rather than pre-plating. Ingredient costs are also a major consideration, especially when competing for wedding and banquet business where per-person rates are critical. And bakery items are the most difficult to upsize, the chefs agree, because they are based on strict formulas instead of recipes.
But when they find a recipe—for any course—that looks like it can make the "quantum leap" from small- to large-scale, chefs are reporting many successful techniques for converting the measurements. Some tap into their computers for occasional assistance, using special software like MasterCook or ExecuChef. But even then, they caution, the resulting calculations should only be used as a starting point; quantities and flavors may need to be adjusted several times.
Smaller Portions, Larger Variety
Once they've found ways to successfully translate recipes to a grander scale, many club chefs are getting similarly favorable reactions as The Peachtree Club's Waters as they break away from traditional banquet expectations—not only through what they're serving, but how it is served.
Chef stations have also become an integral part of the banquet offerings at Belmont Country Club, Belmont, Mass. Executive Chef Steve Sharad is introducing more exotic fare, such as mushi duck with Chinese pancakes, by having stations do "small plate presentations" of various courses. "Instead of four courses, maybe we'll do six," he explains.
At Seattle's Rainier Club, Executive Chef Russakoff is moving away from traditional rack of lamb by setting out Frenched lamb chops that guests can pick up by the bone. Changes have to be introduced slowly in a club setting, says Russakoff, and presentation is a first step.
At Palo Alto Hills Golf & Country Club in California, "family-style service" that was all the rage 20 or 30 years ago has returned in a big way, according to Executive Chef Orlin Marcus. Whether it's a wedding, banquet or bar mitzvah, clients like to see an entire, nicely garnished main dish placed in the center of the table, he says, so they can then pass around plates for service.
But Marcus' approach for these meals is anything but homespun. One of his favorite presentations is a whole snapper steamed en papillote (in an envelope of parchment paper) or wrapped in banana leaves and flavored with a fusion of Asian lemongrass, ginger, sake, garlic and soy sauce.
Craig Meyer, Executive Chef at the Algonquin Golf Club in St. Louis, Mich., says he has also been successful with Asian-style banquet fare, such as rice paper-wrapped Vietnamese spring rolls—he'll perk up the filling with smoked chicken or tuna and fresh herbs—and a traditional Asian pad thai served al fresca. For the pad thai, the ingredients—sliced rare beef topped with fresh herbs such as cilantro and basil, some green onion and jicama—can be assembled in individual serving bowls in advance. The hot broth is poured on top at serving time. And since tapioca is a common ingredient used in Asian fare, Meyer likes to conclude this type of meal with a tapioca trifle made with seasonal fruit.
No Skimping on Side Dishes
As Meyer's success points out, the same thinking that's expanding the offerings for the main banquet dishes in club settings is also being extended to other courses, too. Being in Atlanta, Waters knows that out-of-town guests, especially, will expect a taste of the South as part of their banquet experience. So he gives it to them, but in a bit of an unexpected way. He makes a trio of the traditional Middle Eastern hummus, but instead of using chick peas as the base, he uses black-eyed peas, a Southern staple, and serves this appetizer with sweet potato chips instead of pita wedges.
Marc Raffa at the Philadelphia Cricket Club adds shiitake mushrooms and Maytag blue cheese to make his scalloped potatoes anything but standard fare. Veggies might be individual zucchini timbales (a layered dish cooked in a tall mold) with Persian yellow squash and carrots.
For easy serving and maximum eye appeal, the Algonquin Club's Meyer creates grilled vegetable stacks skewered with stick of rosemary, plated with a little pesto or sundried tomato vinaigrette.
New Room for Dessert, Too
For his dessert buffet at the Peachtree Club, Waters combines chef station dynamics and a take-off on tapas, the Spanish-inspired one- or two-bite appetizers that have made such a major impact in trendy restaurants around the country. At the stations, guests can create crepes to order from a variety of fruit fillings. There's even a "carving station" featuring a brown sugar-encrusted pineapple, accompanied by a spread of fresh cheeses and strawberries.
Waters' dessert tapas may include anything from mini-ramekins of crème brûlée to button-size chocolate tarts. In addition to being more cost-efficient (with little to no waste), the former economics major says bite-size portions make sense according to the "law of diminishing returns."
"When you eat the first bite of something, that's the best it can be; each bite after that has less of an impact. With mini-portions, we do away with diminishing returns," he explains.
A strategy of more variety but smaller portions works well in large-scale dining, club chefs report, because people are often willing to "taste" something unfamiliar, but don't want to "commit" to full-size servings.
Finding New Recipes
Emboldened by their successes with new types of banquet fare, many club chefs say they are now coming up with more large-scale new recipe ideas just by keeping a more open mind when they dine out themselves. Lake of the Isles' Esneault, for instance, says he came up with his popular antipasto pie by "deconstructing" a restaurant dish he particularly enjoyed, and then adding his own signature touches. Others note that networking with other club and resort chefs through associations and at events such as the Club Chef's Institute (see box, p. 32) has added immeasurably to their repertoire.
Raffa says he gets 85% of his inspiration by surfing the Internet. Marcus canvases the multi-cultural staff in his kitchen. And Meyer likes to go cook with other chefs in their kitchens.
As a last test before putting new items on their banquet menus, many club chefs run them as "specials" in their restaurant dining rooms. Marcus also introduces many dishes at his club's Board of Directors meetings.
"Our board is very diverse, like a good microcosm of our membership," he notes. "If they like a recipe, I know I have something."

Just one look at this 1970 'Cuda convertible and you know it's special. Not rare special (although it is one of a kind), but cubic dollars special. Looking through the receipts, it appears that it would take a $300,000 check to duplicate this machine, and based on the fact that every single component in it has been modified in some way, I'm not surprised. Stunning in every way, from the design, to the powerplant, to the gorgeous leather interior, it's really no surprise that Sony chose this vehicle to be the centerpiece of their corporate booth at the SEMA Show. Yeah, Sony could have any car in the world, and they chose THIS one. Prepared to be astonished.
It all started out innocently enough, with a rough 1970 Plymouth Barracuda convertible. It had been beaten and abused, and when construction started, they didn't know just how far they were going to go. Well, it turns out that virtually every panel on the car was replaced, and those panels were scarcely installed out of the box. Instead, each was massaged and customized to create a shape that's definitely 'Cuda, but ever so slightly different at the same time. Of course, all the extraneous trim was shaved, including door handles, mirrors, side marker lights, and anything else that would detract from the clean, flowing profile. Then everything was prepped for show-quality paint, which meant weeks of block sanding, gap-checking, and other tedious work that separates the good cars from the great ones. I don't even have to tell you that the gaps are accurate enough to create feeler gauges using them as a template, or that the crease that runs from headlight to taillight is so straight it could be used to navigate the Pacific. Custom cars at this level aren't just machinery, they're art.
The paint is straight out of the Ferrari catalog, finished in two-stage PPG urethane with a lot of extra metallics and pearls mixed in for good measure. To look good under the lights at SEMA, it has to be more than simply shiny. This one glows. Even the original inspiration, Ferrari itself, doesn't do paint this nice, and ALL their cars cost $300,000. It's mind-boggling how much time this must have taken.
Other custom tricks include tucking the bumpers in tight to the body and painting them body color instead of chrome. The '71 'Cuda grille has been finished in charcoal gray instead of argent silver, and the headlights are crystal clear HID units. The car is completely de-badged, but the tail panel has been painted charcoal gray to match the grille and Shaker hood scoop that fits ever so much tighter to the hood than the originals ever did. The stainless around the windshield and on the rear deck has been retained and polished to show condition, and gives the black canvas top something to attach itself to. Glass is, of course, all new, with a subtle tint that isn't crazy, but just custom enough to look different.
Power for a machine like this had to be amazing, but just throwing in a Hemi crate motor wasn't enough. It started out as a 6.1 liter Hemi out of a 2006 Chrysler, but was torn down and rebuilt with forged internals. The heads were ported and polished, there's a custom cam in the middle, and it was finished in traditional Hemi Orange. A few different induction systems were test-fitted, including a set of way-cool Hillborn-style velocity stacks, but ultimately they settled on a polished 2.8 Kenne Bell supercharger. Known for making big torque and instant boost, you'll find that the boost needle is pegged before you can even get your foot all the way to the floor—THAT's how fast it makes boost. Altogether it makes somewhere north of 700 horsepower at the rear wheels.
The engine wasn't just lowered into a stock engine bay, however. First of all, this car sits on a custom Art Morrison chassis, so the engine was moved back a few inches to improve weight distribution. This is a racer's trick, and it definitely makes a difference. Custom sheetmetal panels were fabricated for the inner fenders and radiator shroud, framing the engine like a piece of art. Painted to match the body, it includes a Mr. Norm's ram's head logo, as well as some custom airbrush work up front. The installation is incredibly sanitary, and you'll definitely want to display this car with the hood open every chance you get.
The transmission is a built 727 TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic, but before you start complaining about the yester-tech transmission, note that it has a Gear Vendors overdrive unit attached behind it. Capable of withstanding more than 1000 horsepower, this was really the only way to get an automatic transmission to survive behind that supercharged Hemi—there's nothing in the Chrysler stable today with more than three gears that can handle it. Operation is invisible, with just the touch of a button to activate it, essentially giving you six forward gears instead of three or four. Nice!
Now about the chassis. I mentioned earlier that the body was sliced and modified, but nowhere is that more apparent than underneath. A full frame has been inserted under this formerly unit-bodied ragtop, a custom Art Morrison piece that allows flat floors and some serious suspension upgrades. The frame and fabricated floors have been finished in matching Ferrari blue paint, but it uses a textured body schutz to protect the steel from nicks and abrasion. Up front, it's all Corvette C5 stuff, with upper and lower A-arms and adjustable coil-over shocks. In back, there's a bulletproof Ford 9-inch housing hanging off a triangulated 4-link setup with more coil-overs and an anti-roll bar. The brakes are monster units from SSBC, sporting cross-drilled 14-inch rotors. For ground clearance, the exhaust system is routed through the frame, giving it a very trick look and an awesome sound thanks to a set of Flowmaster mufflers. Wheels are gigantic custom-made hoops designed just for this car by Modern Muscle and measuring in at 19×8 up front and a mammoth 20×12 in back. The tires are from Michelin, 285/35/19 in front, and gigantic 335/30/20 meats stuffed under the tubbed rear wheelwells.
If you think the body is art, wait until you see the interior. Inspired by the Aston-Martin DBS, it's awash in sumptuous Burnt Orange leather that sizzles against the Ferrari blue paint. There isn't a stock component left in there, from the grippy bucket seats to the custom fabricated console, to the dash full of new Stewart Warner gauges. The entertainment system is, of course, by Sony, and features built-in navigation and a back seat and trunk full of amplifiers and subwoofers. Look at the stitching on the door panels—that's hand craftsmanship the likes of which you just don't see outside of the factory at Crewe, England where they build the Rolls-Royce Phantom. There's keyless ignition, too, so just hit the button and the Hemi roars to life. Overhead there's a thick black canvas convertible top drops neatly into the well behind the passenger compartment, where it's protected by a matching boot.
Documentation is extensive, including a massive build book that shows the entire project from start to finish, showing exactly how much work went into this car. Receipts, manuals, and other important paperwork are also included. Just quickly scanning the receipts, I can see nearly $50,000 spent on the engine alone, another $18,000 on the custom frame, the list goes on and on.
It was only a few weeks ago when I was saying that I think we had discovered the ultimate pro-touring Mopar. In typical fashion, as soon as we make a pronouncement like that, cars like this inevitably show up. Stunning in every regard, masterfully built, and ready to compete, show, drive, and race, this car takes no prisoners. If you're looking for the ultimate pro-built 'Cuda show car, this is it. It's the finest we've seen, but that's only until the next guy steps up and spends $500,000 to build his. Call today!

From the remains of the Roman Forum, to the emblematic Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (City of the Arts and Sciences), Valencia has transformed its layout, while preserving monuments that are a living testimony of bygone periods.
The city of Valencia started out as a Roman colony known as Valentia while Décimo Junio Bruto was cónsul. Centuries later, during the presence of the Arabs in the area, Valencia recovered its splendour and was one of the main urban centres in the eastern area of Al-Andalus. In 1238 the city was definitively conquered by the monarch Jaime I, then becoming part of the Kingdom of Valencia.
The historic centre preserves a great artistic legacy. The Cathedral houses the tower most closely identified with Valencia from outsiders, the Miguelete (the Cathedral's gothic bell tower). The remains of the ancient medieval walls are represented by two old gates: the Serrano Tower and the Quart Tower.
Moreover, the city owns two outstanding gothic buildings of the 15th century: the Palau de la Generalitat, site of the Government, and the Lonja de la Seda (the Silk Exchange), the latter being a World Heritage Site. On the other hand, art nouveau has also left its mark on the city with examples such as the Mercado Central, made from iron, glass and tiles and the Mercado de Colón.
In addition to this architectural legacy important museums grace the city like the Valencian Institute of Modern Art or Museo de Bellas Artes San Pío V among others. One of the most symbolic is the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (City of the Arts and Sciences), a futuristic complex housing the L'Hemisfèric Cinema-Planetarium; the Palace of the Arts, the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum; and the Universal Oceanographic. Valencia, Oceanographic
The Turia Gardens, in the riverbed of the Turia, offer one of the largest leisure areas in the city.The Palau de la Música situated in such an environment, has become one of the most important musical centres in Spain. The festive nature of the people of Valencia is represented in the festival of las Fallas. Valencia, Turia Gardens
During this celebration, enormous 'fallas' or papier-mâché monuments, usually with a satirical theme, are erected in the capital's streets and squares. On the night of the 19th of March, the night of the 'cremà', the fallas are burnt, with the exception of the best ninot (caricatural figures), which is pardoned and exhibited in the Fallas Museum.
Valencia has been selected as the host of the 32nd America's Cup.Since then the creation of the Port America's Cup, has transformed part of the commercial port into a purpose-built facility for the world's greatest yacht race. This is where the 12 teams have their bases and the public can enjoy every second of the competition's atmosphere. A new superyacht pier has also been built.
Two new public marinas are being built adding over 600 new berths for yachts. To complete the surroundings, a new public space is being created allowing close links to the 's Cup, the Port and the sea. Featuring a wide variety of local and international cuisine, and everything from nightclubs to cafés, you're sure to find what you're looking for at Port America's Cup. Entertainment, activities and games are spread throughout the area, meaning there's always something to do,see and participate in.
If the Alps were human, they'd be movie stars: world-famous, beautiful, charming and exciting.

The Fête de la Musique – the European & Worldwide Music Day – is an annual festival held on 21 June, the start of summer. It transforms cities around the globe into theatres of enchantment and magical sounds.
It sounds simple. All the events are free and open to the public. All the musicians waive their fee. All the concerts take place in unusual venues – mostly outdoors – and everyone is welcome at the Fête de la Musique, amateurs and professionals alike representing all genres. That this formula would grow into a worldwide movement that reaches out to millions of people every year must have been beyond the wildest dreams of the then French Culture Minister Jack Lang, who organised the first Fête de la Musique in Paris in 1982. The seed was sown and now the event unites people in over 340 towns and cities worldwide, 60 of them in Europe and 22 in Germany – from Annaberg-Buchholz, Berlin and Bremen to Weimar, Weingarten and Wolfenbüttel. There's nothing that can't be heard – bands, orchestras, choirs, soloists and DJs perform music of every genre. One other thing remains the same, however: the Fête de la Musique is a non-profit, non-commercial event. Like everything at the Fête de la Musique, it's about friendship, joy, respect – in short, humanity in music.

MORRISTOWN, N.J. – Saint Elizabeth ran its win streak to 10 straight matches, concluding the 2012 regular season with a 3-0 victory over visiting Cooper Union Friday in St. Joseph's Hall on Dig Pink Night.
With season-high 13 players seeing action, the Screaming Eagles (22-7) officially won by scores 25-10, 25-13, 25-15 to close out the 2012 regular season.
The Screaming Eagles held its annual Dig Pink game and wore pink warm up T-shirts and pink hair ribbons to honor those women who have fought breast cancer. The program again held a raffle and collected over $50 in donations that will go toward research and awareness of this disease.
CSE was jazzed up from the first serve, racing out to a 10-2 lead after sophomore Rachel Hausler served up three aces. The lead now at 17-7, two aces by senior Nashlly Sokoli and a Kareemah Muhammad kill ignited another CSE run, pushing the lead to 20-7. Katie Cooper transitioned from a dig into an attack that found the floor for a kill and the set point, 25-10.
The Screaming Eagles raced out to a 7-0 lead in the second set after three aces by sophomore Jenae Goodson. A big kill in the middle of the floor by Subhana Wrights pushed the lead to 10-1. With the score 15-4, freshman Amanda Inacio served up an ace and a few points later another kill came from outside hitter Muhammad to push the lead to 20-6. CSE would not look back, closing out the second set, 25-13.
The third set started out with another flurry of offense by CSE and the results was a 10-1 lead. Muhammad put down three kills in the middle of the set and the Screaming Eagles raced out to the 18-7 advantage. The loudest cheer of the night came when junior middle hitter Laura Patterson put down her first kill of the year for a 19-7 CSE lead. The Screaming Eagles held off a late Cooper Union rally and closed out the third set – 25-15 – for the tenth straight win of the year.
Wrights led the CSE offense with eight kills while Muhammad contributed four kills of her own as well as a game-high five aces. Hausler led the defense with seven digs to go along with three aces while Goodson, playing her second match at setter, handed out 15 assists with three aces.
Concluding the best season in program history, Saint Elizabeth will await word of a possible bid the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference postseason tournament. That information is expected to be released around Nov. 6.

Founders Day — After the interviews
February 23rd, 2012 | Ian Richardson
Anticipation fluttering beneath my shirt-and-tie exterior, along with butterflies, sweaty palms, racing heartbeat and shaking nerves.
I couldn't help but remember these feelings as I sat in the cafeteria a week ago, eavesdropping on the final moments of the Founders Day breakfast ceremony. Several times throughout the day I spied the well-dressed candidates, and each moment whisked me back to when I was in their shoes last year. As I reminisced, I could feel a nostalgic grin creeping from one cheek to the other.
After my final interview last February, I remember being so satisfied and at peace about the entire Founders experience. A few long weeks later, I remember the disappointment as I learned that I was not selected for any of the scholarships. I wondered why I was not good enough. Why had they not chosen me? What had I done wrong?
As things turned out, I eventually did end up with one of the half-tuition scholarships, just not the traditional way. One of the recipients had turned it down, and I had been selected as an alternate. But what I have taken away from Founders Day is so much more than financial aid. My life is so much richer because of people I met, and the relationships that I have formed based on connections during that experience. God also used those 24 hours to reinforce my realization that Evangel was the perfect place for me.
Another Founders Day has come and gone, so some of you are reading this during the hardest part of the process – the waiting. The most important thing to remember is that God was there through the interviews, and He will be there when the final selections are made. Not getting a scholarship doesn't mean you're "not good enough," or that someone is "better than you." God is forming you into the person He wants you to be, and His plans do not succeed or fail based on one scholarship.
Founders recipient, Founders candidate or not Founders at all, in every situation God wants us to look past the surface and see the blessings that so often evade our perception. Even when things don't work like we want, how can we grow because of them? Every experience has something to offer, whether it is a lesson, relationship, or a moment to draw closer to Him. Sometimes we just need to open our eyes.

BUMP! September is almost here!
The contest has started off quite nicely, but there is still plenty of space - in fact, with a little effort you can easily win it - join now!
And it's official: the user "Matthew" became the winner of the September contest after a surprising finale. Besides other updates, 33 new pages have been created thanks to the contest alone!
Of course, the improvement drive continues in October as well - see if you can do better!
Congratulation to all participants, let's get even more of them. :)
if anybody wants to make a last-minute entrance into the October contest, now would be the perfect time. With a grand total of 1 participant there is still plenty of space to take part - and win.
Is there a November Wiki improvement drive?
Why, does anybody want to take part in it? :)
If there is interest, we can definitely start another round.
I will be busy until the end of October but should have some more time during November.
More competition is welcome!
need to get the word out about this. I haven't been to Mises U, but I think it would make sense to take advantage of the young kids labor to have them write/edit X number of pages for the Mises wiki as part of graduating, when they are down there. Mises wiki has great potential but isn't much of a resource quite yet.
Well, I'm trying to get the word out every now and again, but help would be very much welcome. :)
Good news: the October contest has been won by the undefeated champion Matthew:
And another contest has just started for November:
Congratulations to the winner! We clearly need somebody to challenge him. :)
He obviously has a monopoly that needs to be broken up. The market entry barriers are insane
Fight the monopoly! :D
We all know that history definitively tells us that it is impossible to use consumer choice and activism to break the power of the Robber Barons (™).
But alright, I shall join in the fun.
Good to see you on board!
Where do we post out November improvements on the Wiki?
Right on the November page - just make a nice little section for your stuff, we'll take care of the points. (See here for an example.)
Hi Wheylous,
how are things going? (Should I create an entry on the page for you?)
Haha, you overestimate me. Currently I am at the stage where I cower in fear by looking at Wikipedia articles and marveling at how woefully inadequate any article I make would be. Ah, well, I guess I can create stubs initially and then improve them with time :P
That's really the idea - start small and poke at it every now and again. Besides, there's no need to keep an eye out on Wikipedia - plenty of material around!
If one may ask, how is the section on history of Standard Oil going? (Or do you have something different in sights?)
I am currently focusing more on some other aspects of the Gilded Age. Sorry. The history simply isn't that important at the moment to me. There are simply a lot of names to slap together for the history and I don't believe that my efforts would be best spent doing that work.
That's okay. I've polished the article some more, looking forward for more stuff from you!
The November contest has been won by our triple champion Matthew!
And another contest has just started for December:
Congratulations to the winner! Is there anyone who can take up the challenge? :)
I'll take up my sword once more.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Our take on the Bowers & Wilkins Z2 by Ralph Graves The Bowers and Wilkins Z2 high-performance audio system has a built-in Lightning connector so you can dock your compatible iPhone®, iPod touch®, or iPod nano® for easy charging and music playback. The Z2 is compatible with Apple AirPlay, so you can wirelessly stream music from an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch — even your computer through iTunes®. Advanced audio design The Z2 features high-quality electronics and drivers to deliver spacious, detailed sound. Its two full-range drivers are framed by baskets designed to minimize rear sound reflection and coloration. Each driver has its own individual amplifier to ensure greater accuracy and reduce cross-interference. The system's rear-firing Flowport™ passively reinforces low frequencies. The dimpled surface of its opening reduces air turbulence for tight, accurate bass. (It's the same effect that helps golf balls fly farther.) Bowers & Wilkins' proprietary Digital Signal Processing circuitry continually analyzes and adjusts the audio signal. Even at maximum volume, your music sounds balanced and clear. The AC adapter has been designed specifically for low noise levels, letting the Z2's electronics operate more efficiently and produce cleaner sound. The AirPlay advantage AirPlay uses your Wi-Fi® network to connect the Z2 speaker system wirelessly to your iTunes® library on your computer.You can send music to multiple Z2s (or other AirPlay-compatible systems like the Zeppelin Air) to simultaneously play your music in different locations throughout your home. And you can control the volume levels of each connected player individually or jointly through your computer's iTunes program. With your Apple portable — iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch — you have even more options. Stream music wirelessly directly from your device to the Z2. Or use your portable as a remote to control your computer's iTunes library.— download Apple's Remote app, and then you can select songs and playlists or adjust the volume level of the system on the fly. From our Bowers & Wilkins Z2 AirPlay speaker review: I was impressed with the Z2's quality and quantity of sound right out of the box. Bass output was hefty without being overbearing, mids sounded quite natural, and the high-frequencies were detailed and crisp. — David Brown, Crutchfield A/V Writer See more info on this item Highlights:dock compatible with most iPhone and iPod® models with a Lightning connectorAirPlay lets you stream music via Wi-Fi® from your iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, or computerautomatically charges player while dockedtwo full-range driversfrequency response: 50-20,000 kHzFlowport bass port reinforces low frequenciesstereo minijack input for portable devicesEthernet port for a wired connection to a home networkAC power adapterremote control12-5/8"W x 7-1/8"H x 5-1/16"Dweight: 5.5 lbs.warranty: 2 yearsOur 60-day money-back guarantee Hands-on research from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)

Features High Quality Audio Design: The Bowers & Wilkins Z2 music system is equipped with a Class-D amplifier and digital signal processing (DSP). The Class-D amplifier is rated at 20-watts x 2 channels. The B&W Z2 features two 3.5" full-range drivers for quality sound. The music system's enclosure is made from glass-filled ABS and feature's Bowers & Wilkins proprietary Flowport technology. The Bowers & Wilkins Flowport technology dramatically improves the system's overall bass performance. The unit's rear-firing port is dimpled to improve air flow, reducing turbulence. The result is less chuffing noise and less compression at high levels; which means better bass no matter how loud you like your music. Lightning Connector Dock: The Bowers & Wilkins Z2 is equipped with a Lightning connector dock which supports Apple's new portable devices with Lightning connector; such as the iPod nano (7th gen), iPod touch (5th gen), iPhone 5/5C/5S, and iPhone 6. The iPhone 6+, iPad 4 and iPad mini are too large to fit into the dock opening. The Z2 supports audio playback, remote control (basic playback functions only), and charging of your docked compatible Apple device. AirPlay Technology: Apple's AirPlay technology allows music, downloaded to iTunes, to be streamed wirelessly from your Mac or PC to the B&W Z2. You can even bypass the computer entirely, and stream high-quality audio directly from your Apple iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad (all without the need to dock the device). The Z2 supports Apple Lossless and MP3 audio file transfer. The B&W Z2 and your AirPlay audio source must be connected to the same wireless network via a WiFi (802.11g/n) router or hub. iTunes Streaming: The B&W Z2 is able to wirelessly play audio from your computer's iTunes account via WiFi or Ethernet connection using AirPlay streaming technology. When connected to the same network as a computer running iTunes, the Z2 can appear as an output option in the pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window. You can then browse your iTunes collection on your computer and stream music to the Z2. To use the AirPlay feature you need a Mac or Windows-based PC running iTunes (10.2.2 or later) connected to the same wireless (WiFi) network as the Z2. Apple Device Streaming: AirPlay also lets you wirelessly stream your iTunes music and a variety of music apps (such as Pandora, iHeartRadio, etc) stored on your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to the Z2. So there's no need to dock your Apple device. The Bowers & Wilkins Z2's AirPlay feature works with iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th gen), iPhone (3GS/4/4S/5), iPad (1/2/3/4), and iPad mini with iOS 4.3.3 or later; connected to the same wireless network. Apple Device Compatibility Chart: The Z2 has been certified "Made for iPod" and "Works with iPhone" compatible and supports the following iPod/iPhone model functions (as of 5/24/2013): Apple Device Generation Tested Version Connection Type Media Type Control Type Display Type Charge Lightning Connector AirPlay Audio Video Remote iPod/iPhone Artist/Song Text Track Info iPhone 3GS 5.1.1 N Y Y N Y Y N N N 4/4S 8.0 N Y Y N Y Y N N N 5/5C/5S 8.0 Y Y Y N Y Y N N Y 6 8.0 Y Y Y N Y Y N N Y 6+ 8.0 N Y Y N Y Y N N N touch 3rd 5.1.1 N Y Y N Y Y N N N 4th 6.1.3 N Y Y N Y Y N N N 5th 8.0 Y Y Y N Y Y N N Y nano 6th 1.2 PC N N N N N N N N N 7th 1.02 PC Y N Y N Y Y N N Y iPad 1 5.1.1 N Y Y N Y Y N N N 2/3 8.0 N Y Y N Y Y N N N 4/Air/Mini 8.0 N Y Y N Y Y N N N Note: Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset the head unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work, you may need to wait until a newer software update is available. Simple Setup: In order to connect your Apple device to the B&W Z2 music system, you will need to download the Bowers & Wilkins AirPlay Setup App to your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad (running iOS 4.3.3 or later). The Bowers & Wilkins AirPlay Setup App is also available to download for your Mac computer or Windows PC from the Bowers & Wilkins Support Site, allowing you to set up and manage the wireless music system from your computer. Auxiliary Input: The rear-panel 3.5mm auxiliary input accepts an analog stereo signal from any portable audio device with a headphone jack output. Remote Control: The supplied wireless IR remote offers Power, Volume Up/Down, and Playback controls. Playback controls include Play/Pause and Previous/Next Track. The remote is powered by a single CR2032 3V lithium battery (pre-installed). AC Power: The Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) Z2 operates off of standard household AC current, using the supplied AC power adapter. The Z2 will automatically enter Sleep mode if left inactive for more than 30 minutes. Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)

Great sound for the price and size and easy setup. This isn't some wimpy battery powered Bluetooth speaker - it kicks clear bass out. Make sure you have good wifi reception or wire it up to ensure dropless playback. Also nice to have the Lightning dock and line in for extra usability. Pros: Full sound Easy to use Lightning dock Stylish Cons: Airplay can be a little laggy sometimes Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent compact speaker Written By JayD, Chicago, IL on Tuesday, October 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Z2 is an excellent compact speaker, worthy of the B&W pedigree. Once connected to your network, the sound difference when streaming via AirPlay is crystal clear and the bass is surprisingly satisfying for a speaker of this size. One minor issue to bear in mind during set-up is that if your wi-fi password contains any special characters, such as "#,$,%,&' etc, then the Z2 will not connect. Pros: Minimalistic design Clear sound, good bass Compact but powerful Cons: Special characters in existing wi-fi network passwords need to be removed to allow successful set up Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Bowers & Wilkins Z2: great performance & value Written By JudyB, Santa Rosa, CA on Sunday, October 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This one-piece wi-fi shelf-top speaker has remarkable range, clarity, and color. Handles all the genres and volume settings that I ever play. Truly amazing value, on sale at half price. Crutchfield scores again! Pros: Sound, value, simple setup Cons: Not so far Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Nice wireless speaker system for close listening. Written By Jay, Pittsburgh, PA on Saturday, October 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have tinnitus, so listening to speakers situated close to my head is much more pleasurable than the usual across-the-room setup. The Z2 is the best nearfield listening experience I've had. And it's a nice looking piece of equipment, too. I had one setup issue. I thought having a wireless router was enough to get the Z2 up and running, but it wasn't. I had to buy an after-market Wireless USB Micro Adapter to establish a wireless network between the music in iTunes on the Windows computer in my LR and the Z2 in my bedroom. After that, it was a snap. It can also be attached to a computer un-wirelessly, using an ethernet cable. Both sound great, and I'm thinking of buying a second Z2. Pros: Everything: sound quality, wirelessness is cool, can be used for nearfield listening, great modern look. Cons: None, though I wish I'd known about needing the wireless USB adapter at first, instead of having to wait for it to arrive a week later. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 RICH FULL SOUND Written By MUSIC LOVER, HANOVER, PA on Sunday, September 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have set this unit up permanently in my kitchen. For it's size and cost it does an admirable job. I am very satisfied. Just what I expected from a B&W. Pros: Very easy to set up. Looks good in the kitchen. Rich full sound. Cons: The speaker and my iPAD are very close to my microwave such that I cannot play the speaker with the microwave on. This is not the fault of the speaker. Unfortunately wifi and the microwave both operate at the same frequency. Bass a little uneven with certain music. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great package Great price Written By Al, Chicago on Monday, September 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After many various sound docks I feel I found the winner the sound is rich and clear bass sounds are clear . The convenience is what sold me a unit that charges and uses airplay is a clear winner !!! The lightning adaptor moves with the phone so it feels more secure Pros: Airplay, lighting adaptor adjust. Cons: Remote is boring 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great iPhone speaker dock Written By Anonymous, Carbon Cliff, IL on Sunday, September 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for a high quality speaker dock with a lightning connector for the new iPhone. I have an old Boston Duo clock radio and a newer Cue R1 clock radio but they both have the old 30 pin connector and was no longer compatible with my new phone. I have always been impressed by the sound of B&W speakers so when the z2 went on sale for half price I jumped at the chance. It has very impressive build quality. The sound is top notch. Reasonable bass, centered clear vocals and smooth highs that aren't harsh. Sounds much bigger than it is and will fill my medium sized room with full range sound It has a remote and connects easily with apple products with its airplay Overall a great deal at the price Pros: B&W build quality. Great sound. Small footprint. Lightning dock. Airplay compatible Cons: Initial set up was a little more difficult than expected. At it's MSRP it's expensive 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 B & W Z2 Written By Richard S, Tucson AZ on Monday, September 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the Z2 to use as a charging dock and speaker system for my rec. room. It was very easy to set up and sounded great. I gave it a four star rating because I have three iPhones that would be docking on this dock, and they would only work if I removed the cases, which was unhandy. Other wise it worked great. I ended up returning. Pros: sounds great easy to set up looks great Cons: if you have a case on your iPhone, you have to remove to dock it. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great Sound - Airplay - dependent on network Written By Rich H, Wilmington DE on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was very pleased by how this unit sounds - especially for the price. The unit is very portable - easy to move from one location to another. I have all Apple devices so I opted for a model that supports Airplay - The advantage of Airplay is that the device hosting the music does not have to be in close proximity to the unit - however it needs to be on the same network (i.e. your MacBook and Z2 need to be on your home wifi network but not necessarily in the same room - and once setup, any device on the same WIFI network supporting airplay such as your iphone or ipad can stream to the Z2) . However in my opinion Airplay setup is more complex than Bluetooth. Not only do you need to setup the network connection of the Z2 (and reset if you move to another WIFI location) but because Airplay depends on the quality of the WIFI - intermittent disruptions in the sound can occur either if the Z2 OR the source device has a poor wifi connection. I will say I managed to get my Z2 working great - but it took some experimentation with different router/Z2 locations Pros: I my opinion, the positive aspects of this unit are it high quality sound and its portability. Airplay allows you to stream music from any device in your house to the Z2 as long as both are connected to the same network. Price. Cons: In my opinion, getting Airplay to work reliably is more complicated than a bluetooth device - but when working is superior. Ease of setup really depends on the quality of your WIFI connection. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Very Impressed Written By Dave in NJ, New Jersey on Tuesday, August 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this so i could listen to music in the kitchen while making meals and eating. VERY impressed. The packaging is very sturdy, the setup instructions are clear, setup itself takes a few minutes but goes really smoothly. I use it to (a) stream music from iTunes on my PC, via my wireless network (b) play music from my Zune (i know, i know) via the Aux port on the back (c) stream music from my iPhone. The unit can play quite loud for its fairly small size and provides really nice sound quality. Look, for $200, you're not gonna replicate a high end setup, but this is a very flexible unit that is easy to set up, fits anywhere, and sounds great. Pros: Easy to set up and use, good sound quality. Great value for $200. Flexible - can play music from several different sources. Cons: None. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 4 out of 5 B & W Z2 Written By MikeC, Lake Toxaway, NC on Monday, December 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound from a little package. Had some small problems with 1st connection, but was able to work it out. Pros: Good looking small speaker system. Cons: 1st connection took a few tries. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Compact size, BIG sound Written By JohnL, Louisville, KY on Monday, December 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Absolutely what I needed. After reading several reviews, this sounded like the AirPlay speaker for me. Extremely well packed, box within a box. Set up was a breeze after downloading the free iPhone app. I just needed to know my wifi name and password, and I was done in under a minute, quickly streaming high quality music. Pros: Nice compact size; heavy, durable yet sleek design. Very nice sound. My home wifi system is good, so I haven't had any AirPlay dropouts mentioned in other reviews. Cons: I think the iPhone port on the speaker top detracts from the overall beautiful design lines. Instead, I wish there was a USB plug in the back to hook up or charge an IOS device. An small insert/cover for the iPhone connector would be nice. Apple will probably change the plugs design in a few years anyways.... 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Amazing little giant! Written By Bob W, Lexington Ky on Wednesday, July 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Having enjoyed a B&W A7 in our large family room, I had doubts about such a small version living up to the B&W standard. For a small room, this one does just as good. The bass sounds full especially when about 3" from a wall, and the highs are smooth, covering up the digital harshness associated with MP3 files. The vocals are smooth and realistic. An excellent product! Pros: Smooth mids and highs, full bass Cons: Airplay cuts in and out. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Simply Amazing! Written By Butchdog, Bemidji, MN on Saturday, May 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A recent review in a magazine started with, "We hate to gush...but this is by far the best wireless speaker under $500. I couldn't agree more. I find the clarity absolutely stunning! If you are looking for a superior wireless speaker don't hesitate to buy this one. In fact, to take this one step further, don't hesitate to buy this speaker from Crutchfield. In my opinion there is no better company to deal with. They are simply top shelf! Pros: Incredible sound, simple to set up. Cons: None 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Bobby, San Antonio, TX on Thursday, April 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Having researched many docks, I was looking for a iPhone 5 dock that not only charged my device, but also complimented my Bowers & Wlkens A7. This device looks beautiful on my nightstand and produces a full and robust sound. It is elequent in design and function. Pros: Sounds terrific Cons: A little pricey. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked Does this product charge my iPhone 5? [ Lydia Aug 04, 2014 ] 11 answers Yes! [ kevin Aug 25, 2014 ] Yes. It should charge an iPhone with the new Lightning connector. However it will probably not work without removing your case if it's very thick. [ RON Aug 05, 2014 ] It will charge an iPhone 5, but you might need an adapter if you have a phone case. [ Kevin Aug 05, 2014 ] Yes. When you place your iphone5 on the dock it charges (regardless if system is playing music or not). [ ERROLL Aug 04, 2014 ] Yes it does, but you may have to remove it from it's case to make it fit. [ BOB Aug 04, 2014 ] Yes it does. [ Jim Aug 04, 2014 ] Yes, it will charge your phone while it's docked [ CADE Aug 04, 2014 ] Yep. It's pretty good. I'd recommend it. [ JASON Aug 04, 2014 ] Indeed it does, in style! [ BOBBY Aug 04, 2014 ] Yes. I bought this for my daughter this last Christmas because she had just gotten an iPhone 5. She really love it and uses it as her main sound system in her condo. [ ALLEN Aug 04, 2014 ] It definitely charges your iPhone 5. I have one and it works seamlessly.
