D-Day Commemoration at Berman Museum in Anniston
Single Stack Nationals & Guns of a WWII Spy | Shooting USA
It’s classic pistol competition as Colonel Jeff Cooper first created the combat sport. More than 400 USPSA members compete in Barry, Illinois with single-stack 1911’s, in the biggest championship competition of the year, the Single Stack Nationals. We break down the action as the top men and women compete for the National Championship Titles.
Plus, the history behind the John Browning 1911 Government Model. The famous sidearm with a treasured past is clearly one of History’s Guns.
And the little known museum in Alabama with nearly 8,000 weapons collected by an American spy in World War Two. We go inside the Berman Museum and inside the vault in Anniston. Tune in to Outdoor Channel for more.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Anniston–Oxford metropolitan statistical area is the most populated metropolitan area in Northeast Alabama next to Huntsville. At the 2000 census, it had a population of 112,249. The MSA is anchored by significant jobs at Jacksonville State University, the Northeast Alabama Regional Medical Center, Stringfellow Hospital, the Anniston Army Depot, and the Department of Homeland Security at McClellan. McClellan has transitioned from being a closed military base, to becoming the home of hundreds of residents, new retail growth such as a Lowe's Home Improvement Store, and now more than 3,000 jobs spread out over more than 20 employers. Anniston remains strong in health care, legal, financial services and manufacturing. Oxford, with Interstate 20 running right through it, has developed a number of retail and restaurant establishments including the Oxford Exchange which is anchored by Target.
Jacksonville is an important city in the region due to its student population and education resources at Jacksonville State University. The other cities surrounding Anniston–Oxford are Piedmont, Ohatchee, Hobson City, and Weaver.
