Owens ran over the cinde
2015年5月27日Carl Everett Silver Strass Marale 120mm autographed bat worth up to
Dear Babe: We saw this autographed bat (image attached) at an antique shop. The owner of the shop did not know who signed the bat. It looks like the player was the No. 2. Does this signature look familiar to you?
Da Babe had no clue on the signature, but he did know who to ask. The guys at PSA didn’t take much time in identifying the White Leather Jaws 120mm signature. They say the bat was signed by Carl Everett. He wore No. 2 for the Red Sox in 2001 and 2002.
Everett played 14 years in the Majors. He ended up with a respectable .271 average with 202 homers and 792 RBI in 1405 games. A switch hitter, he helped the White Sox win a World Championship in 2005.
Everett will always be known to BoSox fans as the hitter who slapped an 0 2 pitch into left field to spoil Mike Mussina’s perfect game with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning on Sept. 2, 2001.
There was a signed Everett bat being offered on eBay for a Buy It Now price of just $14 plus $12 S That bat was a Louisville Slugger and not in the best shape.
The fact that this bat is a black Big Stick Nude Patent Leather Marcia Balla 40mm with a nice silver signature makes it more valuable than the one offered on eBay.
Dear Babe: I have a 5x7 Lincoln Mercury card, showing Jesse Owens in a suit. It is signed: "All my best wishes, Jesse Owens." It appears to be in mint or near mint condition.
Of course, Jesse Owens is the legendary track star who put on one of the greatest shows ever at the 1936 Berlin Olympics much to the dismay of Adolph Hitler.
Hitler, a racist if there ever was one, was looking forward to dominating performances by Aryan athletes.
Owens single handedly spoiled the Nazi leader’s plans.
It was a time when sprinters ran without starting blocks and in leather shoes. They were sloppy and low in rainy weather. Artificial turf tracks were decades from being invented. Owens ran over the cinder track made sloppy by rain.
Owens won four Olympic gold medals. He tied the world record of 10.3 seconds in the 100 meter dash; set Olympic marks of 20.7 seconds in the 200 meter dash and 26 feet, 514 inches in the long jump. To cap off his fantastic performance, he ran the opening leg in the finals of the 400 meter relay, helping the Americans set a world record of 39.8 seconds.
Readers may recall our discussion of Black Patent Leather Marcia Balla 40mm Topps baseball card numbers. For the 2013 Series 1 set, star players were no longer on the round numbers. Topps had no comment on the change after decades of putting stars on the big numbers. Da Babe wondered if it had been a mistake. Apparently that’s the case. In Series 2, David Wright is No. 400, Stephen Strasburg is 500, and Mariano Rivera is 600.

2015年5月27日Bullring hit by burden of empty stores
IT’S one of the most successful shopping centres in Europe yet a number of stores are lying empty and abandoned in the heart of Birmingham’s Blue Suede Mago Two Tone 140mm flagship Bullring.
The prestige complex has been hit by the collapse of several High Street retail chains who have been forced to close premises in Bullring.
Even though there is no shortage of other companies ready to snap up the empty premises, Bullring bosses are being forced to turn them away Black Suede Maillot 160mm and keep the units closed and boarded up.
Eight units Suede Maillot 160mm were empty today after top name stores, including Nike and Elle, closed their doors.
The centre was first hit by the closure of the Gadget Shop, Silver Screen and Allsports last year and bosses have only just been given the green light to lease these units to other retailers.
In 2006 Nike, Kookai, Elle, Morgan and Mikey have also closed their doors.
The Nike franchise store, one of four in the country run by the Planmark group, went into administration last month with the loss of 25 jobs.
Bullring’s general manager, Tim Walley, said: Black Suede Mago Two Tone 140mm "We were disappointed to learn that these retailers would be closing.
"However, in all eight cases, the closures were the result of national administration which has seen the firms cease trading in stores throughout the United Kingdom.
"Kookai, Morgan, Elle, Nike and Mikey are still undergoing the administration process and until this is complete and the stores are handed back to Bullring, we are unable to lease the units to new retailers.
"We are also one of the UK’s most visited shopping destinations and, as such, we have a waiting list of retail brands keen to open a store within the centre."
The Bullring has been a huge hit with shoppers since it opened in September 2003. To date the footfall is nearly 108 million shoppers.
Last week alone saw 730,000 shoppers pass through its doors, which is 5.8 per cent up on last year.

2015年5月27日all I want for Christmas is my 2
I won’t humblebrag: I’ve been good this year. Very good. I didn’t click on links in email sent by people I don’t know, I maintained unique passwords for every web service (that I often remembered), and I didn’t consider becoming an Uber executive.

I know my technological goodness must come Multicolor Leather Maggie 140mm as a relief to you, having suffered through recent Christmas seasons marred by mass gifts of non quite fully capable Surface RTs, failures of Christmas Eve Netflix viewing, and delays in ecommerce deliveries by non Santa operated services.
Yet despite my obvious niceness, this year I won’t ask for all new toys. That would be elfish. Brown Leather Maggie 140mm
Instead, all I want for Christmas is my 2.0. Not front teeth. Upgrades to products I already own and use. Products that would be just a little better if your workshop’s flux capacitor or warp core or whatever power source the North Pole uses (perhaps, in recent years, it’s turned to hydro) would be tuned just a notch higher.
For my Sonos wireless audio speaker system, I wish for audio input connectors that support higher quality and more options than a 1/8 inch stereo mini plug. Yes, I know I almost always listen to digital music that comes from my router connected hard drive or Internet audio streams from Rhapsody, Slacker and TuneIn Radio.
But I still have legacy media in the form of hundreds of CDs and vinyl records. It is a major pain to rip them, if all I want to do is occasionally hear an obscure track from a CD player or digital turntable. Dropping an eye popping $349 for a Sonos Connect only gives me RCA inputs. A $49 Sonos Bridge or $99 Sonos Boost with a few inputs? Yes, pretty please. I bet owners of some other brands of wireless speakers may have similar connector requests.
For my Fitbit One, I wish for a calibration mode. I’m not sure how you’d do this (right now, all onecan "calibrate" is stride length by manual entry on the Fitbit site). But first with my Zip and now with the One, I know the accuracy of measuring actual steps varies. A lot. Fitbit claims 95 97% accuracy, but that means in the course of a single 10,000 step day, I could be off 500 steps if it’s worn in the exact perfect position. Wherever that is. Those missing steps add up. Microsoft Band seems to do better. Can’t Fitbit?
For my Google Nexus 5, I wish for an auto downloaded, obvious yet concise guide to Android’s new features every time a new version is installed. I love Lollipop, but did I really have to discover that it has a cool Flashlight mode under Settings by accident? Or that Gallery was re named Photos, causing me to ponder what had happened to my pictures as I flipped through six screens of apps?
Amazon did a nice job of notification with the brief cheat sheet that showed up on my Kindle Fire HDX with the latest iteration Leather Maggie 140mm of Fire OS this month (Amazon alsoreminded me with an email). While Amazon controls the entire Fire experience, I’ve got to believe your helpers can work this out with T Mobile (in my case) and include a prominent cheat sheet with any OS update.
Santa, I’ll stop now. There are many more general upgrades you could bring to me and my friends, who know I’m writing you. Lee wants a visible file system for iOS, Brian asks for memory card support for iPads, Margie would like duplicate picture upload warnings for iPhoto, and everyone would cherish the greatest gift of all: longer battery life.
A few, generously, want to give back. Eric and Ellen want to give Samsung and Verizon the apps they can’t delete from their mobile phones. And Aaron would like to re gift Facebook’s presumably expensive news feed display algorithm changes. I’d contribute by returning Twitter’s, too.
Strangely, during a season in which venture capitalists, tech bloggers and digital pundits all desire the Next Big Thing, my friends and I are satisfied to settle for the Next Small Thing. Small, as in those improvements that make a valued app, website or device even more cherished, and can take it from good to great. Plus make us loyal customers for many holidays to come.
Oh, and Santa? I know it’s old school to actually write you a letter, instead of sending you an email, text, tweet, or listicle. But I thought a Christmas list in 2014 in the letter format familiar Nude Leather Maggie 140mm for centuries would be so unusual, you might give it special consideration. I would have written it in cursive, too, but I wanted you to be able to read it.

In February,
2015年5月27日A rock legend unto herself
Dannemann, 50, was found dead in her fume filled Mercedes after being found guilty of contempt of court for repeating a libel against a 49 year old Surrey doctor’s wife, Kathy Etchingham. Both women were girlfriends of the late rock star Jimi Hendrix in the Swinging Sixties.
But the story of Dannemann and Etchingham is more than a lifetime of eye scratching. It is the tale of the creation of a rock ’n’ roll myth and of the woman who built her life upon it and felt compelled to bow out when the elaborate, artificial edifice began to crumble around her.
In the Inner World of Jimi Hendrix by his Fiancee, published in 1995, Dannemann writes that she met Hendrix in 1969 in a Dusseldorf bar. Hendrix was at the height of his fame. To Dannemann, he was not just the world’s most gifted guitarist. She considered him a prophet from the start. She claims she soon left Germany and her job as an ice skating teacher to follow Jimi to London. She has always claimed despite contrary evidence that an 18 month relationship and engagement followed. What no one can deny is that she was with him the night he choked to death on his own vomit.
With some, that fact bestowed on Dannemann instant quasi religious status. To others, she was for ever the focus for suspicions surrounding the circumstances of Hendrix’s death. Some said she delayed calling an ambulance; a few even claimed she poisoned him.
After Jimi died, Dannemann made a career of being Hendrix’s fiancee. Endless newspaper, documentary and book interviews followed with spreads in Hello! magazine at her home in Seaford, Sussex (a veritable shrine to Hendrix), and with Hendrix’s family in Seattle, as well as guest appearances at Hendrix conventions.
But in Dannemann’s lifelong homage to Hendrix, Etchingham was always the party pooper. Hendrix had lived with Etchingham in the late Sixties. Their relationship lasted for almost three years. He was still involved with her when Dannemann claims their love affair began. Etchingham’s mere existence was annoyance enough. But her very different view of Hendrix troubled booze and drug abusing man rather than serene, spiritual, drug free demi God no doubt irked Dannemann more.
In court, the contrast between the women was stark Dannemann with her Marianne Faithful fringe, a grotesque superannuated hippy chick versus Etchingham with the sleek Nineties bob and the executive suit. While Dannemann’s life seemed to freeze on the day Hendrix died, Cathy, a mother of two, had had the sense to let the Sixties go.
Uli John Roth, who lived with Dannemann for17 years, seethes at how the newspapers depicted Dannemann as timewarp woman.
"I’m speaking up for Monika because she was never very good at speaking up for herself," he says. Dannemann had moved on he insists. OK she still Wholesale NFL Jerseys painted Hendrix but she painted other things, too.
Roth, a musician, says he only moved out of her Seaford home because he needed more room for his studio equipment. But in an interview last year Dannemann said their relationship had not worked and she knew "my heart would be for ever with Jimi".
Roth insists he Cheap Jerseys loved Dannemann for herself but he admits that he also valued her for her connection with Jimi. Roth was a Hendrix devotee from his teens.
To Roth, Jimi’s message flowed through Dannemann. "There was something of Jimi’s spirit in her. She was involved with him during the last 18 months when he went through a lot of emotional and spiritual changes. He told her about his music and its message. There was no one that he told as much to as he told Dannemann. And that made some people very, very jealous. He was not the psychedelic bubblehead guitar player as portrayed. He was the most important and revolutionary artist of the 20th century."
At her luxury home in the Surrey countryside, Kathy Etchingham, answers her front door accompanied by a huge dog. She peeps out as if looking for trouble. Some one has phoned that morning accusing her of murdering Dannemann.
Her large homely kitchen seems a world away from Jimi Hendrix and the far out, blow your mind, psychedelic Sixties. There are no portraits of Jimi. Today, she is trying to rescue her 18 year old son from Japan where he has run out of money and she is waiting for her husband, Nick, to get home from work.
Etchingham has said little since the suicide out of respect for Dannemann’s family. But she says she does not blame herself. She could not allow Dannemann to go on repeating the libel that she was a liar and that she stole from Jimi. The Hendrix scene, she says, has its share of crazies. Dannemann’s accusations were putting her life at risk.
Etchingham is still remarkably girlish; with cheekbones to kill for. She was a 23 year old hairdresser when she dated Jimi. She was another person in another time, and wholesale jerseys she seldom thinks of Jimi these days, she claims. But you wonder. Because even here the past still has its pull. She cared enough to spend three years in the early Nineties investigating the circumstances surrounding Jimi Hendrix’s death. She criticised Dannemann’s account of Jimi’s death for its "inconsistencies". And her 34 page dossier resulted in Scotland Yard reopening the case, although it was subsequently dropped.
Etchingham also cared enough to lead a campaign last year to secure Jimi a historic blue plaque. And she has put considerable effort in helping to explode the "myths" created by the Dannemann camp.
She claims she only got involved in the whole Hendrix business in the early Nineties. "I don’t like history being altered," she explains. "And it’s not right that anyone should change the character and essence of a person. Jimi was a really nice bloke but he was not a prophet. At the end he was a man who had lost his way. If you look at the footage of the final concerts you can see what LSD and cocaine do."
Crucially, she believes Dannemann was never Jimi’s girlfriend and suspects their involvement lasted but a few days. "That’s why she could only ever speak about the night he died," she says. She points to the absence of photographs of them together Roth says Dannemann was camera shy and the denials of a relationship by other members of his band. Moreover, she believes that the image of Hendrix as a spiritual guru is sheer tosh a reshaping of her former boyfriend in death in Dannemann’s own image. "A more likely message from Jimi was ’Pass the bottle’," she smiles.
She believes the court case was the final blow to Dannemann’s lifelong deception. "The court case established once and for all that she was not Jimi’s girlfriend," she says. "Everything was beginning to catch up with her."
In February, an American music magazine cast doubt on Dannemann’s version of events on the night Hendrix died and on her claims to a relationship with him. A recent hour long documentary on Radio 4 was just as sceptical and a new film is expected to add to the doubt.
To Steve Rodham, editor of Jimpress, a Hendrix fanzine, Dannemann’s life was a life wasted.
"I think she really did believe she was Jimi’s girlfriend although there was no real evidence." he says. "Jimi was just a guitar player. If he was alive, he would have laughed his socks off about all this. He liked women, but the music always came first."
Seventy people attended Dannemann’s funeral. Many were Hendrix fans. In his candlelit studio in the Kent countryside, Roth calls some artwork up on his computer. It is for the cards he sent out after Dannemann’s death, illustrated with a few lines from the "Story of Life", the song Hendrix composed on the night he died and a photograph of Dannemann floating above the planet.
Dannemann, 50, was found dead in her fume filled Mercedes after being found guilty of contempt of court for repeating a libel against a 49 year old Surrey doctor’s wife, Kathy Etchingham. Both women were girlfriends of the late rock star Jimi Hendrix in the Swinging Sixties.
But the story of Dannemann and Etchingham is more than a lifetime of eye scratching. It is the tale of the creation of a rock ’n’ roll myth and of the woman who built her life upon it and felt compelled to bow out when the elaborate, artificial edifice began to crumble around her.
In the Inner World of Jimi Hendrix by his Fiancee, published in 1995, Dannemann writes that she met Hendrix in 1969 in a Dusseldorf bar. Hendrix was at the height of his fame. To Dannemann, he was not just the world’s most gifted guitarist. She considered him a prophet from the start. She claims she soon left Germany and her job as an ice skating teacher to follow Jimi to London. She has always claimed despite contrary evidence that an 18 month relationship and engagement followed. What no one can deny is that she was with him the night he choked to death on his own vomit.
With some, that fact bestowed on Dannemann instant quasi religious status. To others, she was for ever the focus for suspicions surrounding the circumstances of Hendrix’s death. Some said she delayed calling an ambulance; a few even claimed she poisoned him.
After Jimi died, Dannemann made a career of being Hendrix’s fiancee. Endless newspaper, documentary and book interviews followed with spreads in Hello! magazine at her home in Seaford, Sussex (a veritable shrine to Hendrix), and with Hendrix’s family in Seattle, as well as guest appearances at Hendrix conventions.
But in Dannemann’s lifelong homage to Hendrix, Etchingham was always the party pooper. Hendrix had lived with Etchingham in the late Sixties. Their relationship lasted for almost three years. He was still involved with her when Dannemann claims their love affair began. Etchingham’s mere existence was annoyance enough. But her very different view of Hendrix troubled booze and drug abusing man rather than serene, spiritual, drug free demi God no doubt irked Dannemann more.
In court, the contrast between the women was stark Dannemann with her Marianne Faithful fringe, a grotesque superannuated hippy chick versus Etchingham with the sleek Nineties bob and the executive suit. While Dannemann’s life seemed to freeze on the day Hendrix died, Cathy, a mother of two, had had the sense to let the Sixties go.
Uli John Roth, who lived with Dannemann for17 years, seethes at how the newspapers depicted Dannemann as timewarp woman.
"I’m speaking up for Monika because she was never very good at speaking up for herself," he says. Dannemann had moved on he insists. OK she still Wholesale NFL Jerseys painted Hendrix but she painted other things, too.
Roth, a musician, says he only moved out of her Seaford home because he needed more room for his studio equipment. But in an interview last year Dannemann said their relationship had not worked and she knew "my heart would be for ever with Jimi".
Roth insists he Cheap Jerseys loved Dannemann for herself but he admits that he also valued her for her connection with Jimi. Roth was a Hendrix devotee from his teens.
To Roth, Jimi’s message flowed through Dannemann. "There was something of Jimi’s spirit in her. She was involved with him during the last 18 months when he went through a lot of emotional and spiritual changes. He told her about his music and its message. There was no one that he told as much to as he told Dannemann. And that made some people very, very jealous. He was not the psychedelic bubblehead guitar player as portrayed. He was the most important and revolutionary artist of the 20th century."
At her luxury home in the Surrey countryside, Kathy Etchingham, answers her front door accompanied by a huge dog. She peeps out as if looking for trouble. Some one has phoned that morning accusing her of murdering Dannemann.
Her large homely kitchen seems a world away from Jimi Hendrix and the far out, blow your mind, psychedelic Sixties. There are no portraits of Jimi. Today, she is trying to rescue her 18 year old son from Japan where he has run out of money and she is waiting for her husband, Nick, to get home from work.
Etchingham has said little since the suicide out of respect for Dannemann’s family. But she says she does not blame herself. She could not allow Dannemann to go on repeating the libel that she was a liar and that she stole from Jimi. The Hendrix scene, she says, has its share of crazies. Dannemann’s accusations were putting her life at risk.
Etchingham is still remarkably girlish; with cheekbones to kill for. She was a 23 year old hairdresser when she dated Jimi. She was another person in another time, and wholesale jerseys she seldom thinks of Jimi these days, she claims. But you wonder. Because even here the past still has its pull. She cared enough to spend three years in the early Nineties investigating the circumstances surrounding Jimi Hendrix’s death. She criticised Dannemann’s account of Jimi’s death for its "inconsistencies". And her 34 page dossier resulted in Scotland Yard reopening the case, although it was subsequently dropped.
Etchingham also cared enough to lead a campaign last year to secure Jimi a historic blue plaque. And she has put considerable effort in helping to explode the "myths" created by the Dannemann camp.
She claims she only got involved in the whole Hendrix business in the early Nineties. "I don’t like history being altered," she explains. "And it’s not right that anyone should change the character and essence of a person. Jimi was a really nice bloke but he was not a prophet. At the end he was a man who had lost his way. If you look at the footage of the final concerts you can see what LSD and cocaine do."
Crucially, she believes Dannemann was never Jimi’s girlfriend and suspects their involvement lasted but a few days. "That’s why she could only ever speak about the night he died," she says.
