Review On The Fortean Times Magazine

Following extensive study he had published several books on similar phenomena. Fortean Times still goes strong to this day and includes numerous articles, accounts, and Fortean Times breaking news items. It is believed that Fort was one of the first individuals to attribute strange lights to something extra terrestrial.

Fortean Times Breaking News
The magazine itself has come some way since its early beginnings, as you would expect in over thirty years of publication. Although, while the paper may be more glossy the content retains much of its original efforts to inform us of strange happenings. The Fortean Times breaking news section contains an eclectic mix of possible explanations for news stories that have appeared in the mainstream press to reports you are unlikely to read elsewhere or see on your television. Strange deaths are published and causes often theorised and any potential sightings or portents also find their way into this veteran magazine.

Fortean Times Feature Articles
Feature articles tend to take a deeper look into one or more organizations or beliefs. Previous features have included full reports on cryptozoology sightings, possible cult rituals and groups around the world, and explanations for the previously unexplained. Profiles of particularly important people in history are also covered extremely well within the pages of the Fortean Times magazine, although only if they have a link to anything unusual.

News And Reviews
The reviews section contains reviews of related materials from the print and visual world but not all are related to odd occurrences. There are books penned by cult members, films chronicling mass murders and the consideration of whether the murderers believed they were guided by another force, and there are reports of George Bush and his dealings with big businesses. Whatever your preferences they will be met here. Fortean Times is also home to superbly animated cartoons that chronicle events and often have a jibe at some of the more mainstream ideas regarding the issues that FT covers.Send Your Work

The Fortean Times magazine is actively looking for content all the time and, as such, if you have a theory, a story, or anything that fits into the paranormal, strange, or odd category then buy the magazine and contact the editor. The whole point of Fortean Times when it was released was to document and store all the information of these events from around the world. This is your chance.

Fortean Times Review
Fortean Times covers every aspect of the abnormal, the odd, the blatantly bizarre, and the paranormal. It can feel oddly like a step into a science fiction world at times, but the content is all the better for that sense of involvement and immersion. If this is your kind of thing then Fortean Times is your kind of magazine.

News And Reviews On Digital Radio

The HD100 is a 2.2-pound compact receiver with built-in speakers. It has a play-through auxiliary input, a headphone jack and an alarm clock. AC power is required. The radio has an internal AM antenna and a pull-out FM antenna. Both can be replaced with external antennas. Because digital signals are limited to 1 percent of the power of a station's analog transmission, HD receivers often need external antennas for clear sound on far-off signals.

A display screen shows station call letters, song and artist details and depending on the station; brief updates on traffic, weather, news and sports. With its low weight, telescoping antenna and ability to play music from devices like iPods, this radio might have a place on the beach; as long as there is a cord long enough to reach it.

With features like crystal-clear sound, no hissing sound, no distortions, many channels and unlike satellite radio they are free to use, your radio becomes a cheap digital radio. Again all of the features are FREE of charge. There's no contract and no subscription fees, all you need is a new radio. The HD digital radio receiver will undoubtedly become the next generation radio. No wonder several people are making rave reviews about digital radios. Below are just a sample of such:

PUBRADIO, Ken Mills - August 2007: The Radiosophy HD100 is worth it - a good value for the price. It is an excellent "starter set" for a digital versions. Overall, I recommend it.

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, Ben Fong-Torres - July 2007: The reception and sound are better and clearer than what you get from the fancier Receiver. With its digital AM and FM signals, may sound better than conventional types, and stations may offer additional programming through sub- or side channels. But the make-or-break factor is the bottom line: What's it going to cost? Up till now, the special tuners have been priced from $200 to $300 and more. The reception, you can imagine, has not been good.

Now Radiosophy has released a new model for $99.95. The model is the HD100, and it couldn't look more different from, say, the Boston Acoustics Recepter ($249 before rebates). The Recepter is sleek, silver and compact, with a second speaker for stereo. Radiosophy's model looks like a black boom box. You'd swear you could just pick it up and take it outside but, alas, you can't. It requires AC power.

MSNBC, Gary Krakow - June 2007: The big news here is a product from a company named Radiosophy. Overall, this radio does exactly what it's supposed to. It receives both analog and digital AM and FM radio stations and sounds pretty darned good doing so. I especially like the HD-only station scan feature, something its competitors lack. Of the three I've tested, the HD100 does the best job at grabbing digital signals with the provided FM antenna (a retractable metal whip).

THE NEW YORK TIMES, Glenn Fleishman - May 2007: A digital Radio that costs less than half its cheapest rival. The cost of receiving digital AM and FM signals will drop next week as Radiosophy releases its HD100 receiver for less than $60 with a rebate. This pulls in high definition radio signals, a digital format that is broadcast alongside standard radio by more than 1,200 stations in this country. The next least expensive digital receiver is $160 with a rebate; most start at $300.

MONITORING TIMES, Ken Reitz - April 2007: The HD100 could be the radio that will bring many buyers who have been put off by those higher prices into the world of digital reception.

Now you can get an enjoyable listening pleasure from your radio. Have a digital receiver and enjoy it's crystal-clear sound. And they are now very affordable. Yes, they are cheap and unlike satellite radio, they are free to use. That's right; you don't need to sign any contract and or pay any subscription fees, all you need is the radio!

News On Politics And Culture

Lebanese expats miss their homeland. Who wouldn't? If you're one of the thousands who have decided to live in another country, Lebanon news will keep your homesickness at bay. There are still other ways to keep in touch with your homeland when starting a new life elsewhere. For those interested in Lebanon politics and culture, they can have the information anytime.

Home Sweet Home in the News

If you have been wondering what is going on in the place you've left behind and missing the sights, all you have to do is hop online and keep in touch with Lebanon's virtual reality. You can have the Lebanon news in your national language or in English, whatever suits you.

Armed with the latest Lebanon news, you can discuss the issues with your friends over Mezza with the indispensable pita bread washed down with Chateau Mosar from Lebanon's Bekaa Valley or arak. It is a comforting thought and a convenience to have your favorite wines and food in the neighborhood.

Perhaps the recent news is disturbing. You can switch to blogs with a light piece on the foibles of Lebanese life in troubled times infused with humor to balance the dismal events that seem to be taking place everyday.

From online Lebanon news, you may find news of your hometown or even of the big cities where you've spent some hours visiting friends and shops. You may miss the smells of the busy market and the bazaars and the aroma of markuok baking in the oven. Not that you can't have the delectable dishes and breads where you are, these are also available and you can order these online for those important family occasions.

Making A Home in a New Place

If you are contemplating to get out of your homeland check out the opportunities - USA, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and other wide spaces on the globe that offer opportunities to all. When you have decided on a final destination, gear up for the usual emotional, physical, and financial stress before you can settle down. Look up friends already established in the area to help you with your adjustment period.

So homesickness doesn't hurt so much anymore. You have what you need - Lebanon news, delicacies, fabrics, rugs, and the much valued Lebanon wines imported from your homeland. For those who want to know more about the culture of Lebanon, they can Google everything from belly dancing to belly dancing costumes and jewelry.

Here are some tips to start a new life anywhere in the world outside the walls of Lebanon:

1. Make sure your visa allows you to work.

2. Put up a trade. Don't go big time until you have a complete feel of the market.

3. Meet up with friends and organize a group for your recreational activities.

4. Make new friends in the workplace or in the neighborhood.

5. You can organize cooking sessions and classes with other expats.

6. Join the local belly dancing lessons or give one.

Actually, there is much to do if you want the world to know you are ready to assimilate into a new culture - although your heart is still in Lebanon. Perhaps you can be a self-proclaimed ambassador in the workplace and in the suburbs by promoting your country's best wines and food. You can even share with them the recent Lebanon news. So say goodbye to your homesickness.

General Item Searches On Ebay

Most of us know that eBay is a great place to find what we want and get it for less. But I recently ran across a special website that really simplifies and enhances the eBay shopping experience.

It has a simple keyword search bar for "General item searches" as well as a link to "eBay Motors" for more comprehensive vehicle searches. But what really makes it special is the addition of news, reviews, and other information about the item you're looking for that's not included on the regular eBay site.

The search results list the auctions and "Buy It Now" items in the order of the ones ending the soonest first and include a picture of the item. This is very convenient because you can browse these items in order without missing out on the ones that will be ending soon.

At the bottom of the listings, you may do a more specific search of the item (ie. "xbox 360" instead of just "video games"), or search for something completely different. One of the coolest things about this site is the surprise items that occasionally show up! You'll often find items that you wouldn't find anywhere else. It's like being able to shop in the world's largest mall without all the walking.

Whether you're looking for Antiques, Art, Books, Cameras, Cell Phones, PDAs, Cars, Trucks, SUV's, Motorcycles, Boats, Clothing, Shoes, Coins, Collectibles, Computers, Consumer Electronics, Crafts, Dolls, Movies, Memorabilia, Health & Beauty, Home & Garden, Jewelry, Watches, Music, Musical Instruments, Pottery & Glass, Real Estate, Sporting Goods, Tickets, Toys, Hobbies, Travel, Vacation, Video Games, or Hidden Treasures & Hard to find items, you'll find them more easily at the eBayFeatures website. It offers the easiest way to snap up a bargain on eBay!
