The suit was the first of two on behalf of nurse Marie Sweeney and brought by the Schlitt Law Firm of Huntington. The firm said it was filing suit Monday against Franklin Hospital, where the attack occurred, and North Shore-LIJ, which owns the Valley Stream hospital.
Because the former patient, Donte Oakes, is indigent and serving an 11-year term in prison, Sweeney is unlikely to collect any of the judgment, the law firm said.
In September 2010, Oakes broke off the wooden leg of a chair in his room and carried it into a common area where Sweeney was working with other patients. He attacked her, beating her over the head, face and neck until other staff could restrain him. The judge's ruling found that Sweeney suffered multiple broken bones, a traumatic brain injury, extensive nerve damage and blindness in her left eye. The award compensates Ms. Sweeney for past and future pain and suffering, lost wages and medical expenses.
A suit against the hospital and its network will not be easy, attorney Carol L. Schlitt said, because of limitations set by state worker's compensation laws. "Under worker's compensation law, by being able to receive damages, the worker is limited to a percentage of lost wages and health care," she said. "But in turn the employee cannot sue the employer."
But in this case, Schlitt said, the firm believes there are other issues.
"We are claiming that in this case the hospital behaved in grossly negligent way in that there were prior assaults on three other employees in the weeks before attack and that they did nothing to protect nurses.
"In addition, OSHA investigated after attack and issued a citation against the hospital that they didn't furnish a safe place to work, issued a report indicating 10 different feasible methods of abatement that the hospital could have used. And they furnished the rooms with furniture that coud be used as a weapon."
The North Shore-Long Island Jewish Hospital System declined to comment on the suit but spokesman Terry Lynam said,
"The leadership of Franklin Hospital and the North Shore-LIJ Health
System was outraged by the attack on Ms. Sweeney and we continue to be
sympathetic to her plight. Because of the unpredictability of their
behavior, working with psychiatric patients can
be hazardous, but the hospital and the health system believe that all
reasonable steps have been taken to safeguard employees.".
Schlitt said the new lawsuit is about protecting nurses.
Oakes "was literally
able to take apart a desk chair and use a leg of a chair the size of a baseball
bat, come out of his room, pass the nurses' station, to the day room where she
was holding group therapy session. It's outrageous to have that type of weapon
in any patients' room, especially a psych ward," Schlitt said.
"There was no panic
button available in the dayroom; the only one was in the locked office of a
psychiatrist. There were no surveillance cameras," she added.
Sweeney and Schlitt praised Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Randy Sue Marber for her ruling.
"This victory holds this man accountable for the way he altered my life," Sweeney said after the verdict. "It is important to hold this criminal responsible on behalf of all nurses as we endure an increasing number of attacks at the hands of the very patients we are dedicated to serving. Nurses deserve protection."
Schlitt said, "The verdict today holds him financially responsible for the damages he caused Ms. Sweeney."
Sweeney, an Oceanside resident, had worked at the hospital for 28 years before the attack, said, "This is not about the money. It acknowledges the losses I have suffered."

Your Baby's Development
From this week until week 20, your baby will be growing rapidly — increasing in size from about 2 inches (5 cm) to about 8 inches (20 cm) from crown to rump. To accommodate all this growth, the blood vessels in the placenta are increasing in both size and number to provide the baby with more nutrients.
Facial development continues as the ears move toward their final position on the sides of the head. If you saw a picture of your baby now, you'd think you had a genius on your hands — the baby's head accounts for about half of the body length!
Although your baby's reproductive organs are developing rapidly, the external genitals of boys and girls appear somewhat similar until the end of week 11. They will be clearly differentiated by week 14.
Your Body
Nourishing your baby usually requires that you gain weight — and in most cases, the recommended weight gain is 25 to 35 pounds (11.33 to 15.87 kg) over the course of the pregnancy. If you were overweight or underweight before pregnancy, your health care provider may have different recommendations for weight gain.

The Chamber of Commerce's annual "Street Sweets" event on Halloween helped keep children safe and parents happy, as scads of cutely-dressed trick-or-treaters helped themselves to candy from the 25 businesses participating in the popular event.
The 5 to 6 p.m. event called for a controlled entrance and exit for the "fun zone" at the Norman Activity Center Parking Lot, 526 E. Commerce St. Participants had to bring a canned good, a bag of candy or $1 per family to be admitted.
These went to benefit HOPE and the Crisis Center. HOPE ended up collecting roughly eight bushel baskets of canned goods and Crisis Center collected $375, according to a report from the chamber.
"A huge thank you goes out to all of the businesses and individuals who participated the day of the event and who brought candy and donated before the event," wrote Kayla Stephenson, project coordinator of the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, in the report. "Without your participation we would not have been able to have such a successful event and give back to the community."
The Street Sweets event is sponsored by the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce and local businesses and individuals. Serving on the Street Sweets Committee are Nathan Jones, Chamber chairman of the board; Brett Brewer, Chamber chairman-elect; Nancy Washburn, Chamber community development division chair; and committee members Bobbie Durham, Debbie Kerzee, and Jaclyn Tyler.
Memories are the focus of this year's Christmas parade
Here are five exceptional Yuletide memories, submitted for your approval in anticipation of Christmas 2012:
1. The fresh smell of a just-purchased Christmas tree.
2. TV reruns of "Frosty The Snowman," "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas," or "Rudolf The Red Nose Reindeer."
3. Snow — if you were able to find any in Texas.
4. That amazing, yet simultaneously-odd, musical Christmastime video in which David Bowie and Bing Crosby astonish listeners with a magical duet of "Little Drummer Boy."
And … No. 5? Any year you were able to see Jacksonville's Annual Old Fashioned Christmas Parade, of course.
The theme for the parade this year, coincidentally, is "Christmas Memories." And who would know this better than the 2012 Grand Marshals — local nursing home residents?
Residents from facilities such as Twin Oaks Convalescent Center, Bonner Place, Gardendale Rehabilitation and Health Center, Jacksonville Healthcare Center and The Arbors Nursing Home in Rusk, have all been invited to participate in the parade, said Melody Walters, Christmas parade event director.
It will be an excellent departure from the stereotypical, overly-commercialized Christmas, Walters said.
"When you think about Christmas memories, you think about the past and they can tell us things about the past most of us probably have no clue about," Walters said. "When I spoke to some of them about what Christmas means, they said they used to go cut their own trees and make their own ornaments."
The parade will held starting at 6:15 p.m. Thurs., Dec. 6. Lineup begins at 5:45 p.m. on Commerce and Patton Street. The deadline to enter is Fri., Nov. 30.
"This event is a great way for businesses to advertise, for the community to become involved, and for a families to come together and have a fun night," Alex Thompson of the Chamber said in an email.
Should weather not permit, the inclement weather makeup date is 6:15 p.m. Monday, December 10.
The route begins on Commerce Street at the intersection of Patton Street. It continues on Commerce Street, turns left on Austin Street at the Tomato Bowl, and turns left again on Wilson Street behind the Norman center. It then continues on Wilson Street. and turns left one last time on Bonner Street.
Of great interest will be the contest for the Best Decorated Float, officials said. First through third places will be awarded.
There will be rules, which include:
° No candy throwing — although residents can walk the parade route and pass out candy.
° All floats with lights of any sort must have a fire extinguisher on the trailer.
° No obscene music.
° No Santa Claus, except for the one already scheduled to make an appearance. The fire department will have a truck with Santa.
Anyone who is interested in participating in the parade can visit website www.Jacksonvilletexas.com and print the Christmas parade form. Simply return it to the Chamber of Commerce at 526 E. Commerce St. Jacksonville or by fax at 903-586-6944.
"Be sure to attend the Lighting of Hazel Tilton Park immediately following the parade," Thompson suggested in the email.
In addition to Walters, this annual Christmas Parade is organized by the Chamber of Commerce's Robin Butt, tourism development; and Susan Jones, tour of homes director.
To inquire further, contact the chamber at 903-586-2217.

Write articles (even stubby ones)
Cacheopedia is currently (05 May, 2005) in it's infancy. What we could really use now is people writing articles. Currently we have a very high requested/written article ratio. If you would like to write about something, go for it! Don't worry about writing the best article, or what people will think about it. Just make it as clear and informative as possible. Others will add to it if they feel it could be improved. The whole idea of a wiki is people building off of what other's have started. This is your site, make it what you want.
But, do not submit copyrighted work without permission. Even if you have permission, please give credit where it is due in the form of some type of reference. If you cannot determine if a work is copyrighted or not, you must assume that it is.
One way to get the ball rolling is to change empty links into Stubs. Let's say you just wrote an article, and wikilinked a bunch of terms from it. Take a minute and turn those empty red links into stubs.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — No. 2 Syracuse held Miami without a basket for 7 1/2 minutes down the stretch Saturday and made eight consecutive free throws in the final minute to remain unbeaten with a 64-52 victory against the Hurricanes.
Miami led 47-46 with less than 7 minutes to go but made only one field goal the rest of the way.
Syracuse (19-0, 6-0 ) needs one more victory to tie the school record for most wins to start a season, set two years ago. The ACC newcomers beat defending league champion Miami (10-9, 2-5) for the second time in three weeks.
Both teams played zone defense and made points tough to come by for long stretches. The game was nearly 30 minutes old before either side made a fast-break basket.
Jerami Grant scored 16 points to lead the Orange, who had a 39-24 rebounding advantage.
Davon Reed scored 16 points for the Hurricanes, who kept it close by shooting 9 of 17 from 3-point range.
No. 20 Pittsburgh 83, Maryland 79: Lamar Patterson scored 28 points and the visiting Panthers complete their first regular-season sweep as a member of the ACC.
Pittsburgh (18-2, 6-1) never trailed in the second half against the struggling Terrapins, who lost by 20 to the Panthers on Jan. 6. Although this game was significantly closer than the first one, Maryland (11-9, 3-4) simply couldnt contain Patterson, a 6-foot-5 senior who fell just short of matching his career high of 30 points.
Patterson went 8 for 14 from floor and made 12 of 14 free throws. He also had seven rebounds and seven assists.
Talib Zanna scored 16 for the Panthers and James Robinson had 13. Pittsburgh next faces Duke at home on Monday night.
Virginia 65, Virginia Tech 45: Malcolm Brogdon scored 18 points, Joe Harris had 12 and streaking Virginia closed the first half on a 21-6 run and cruised to its fourth straight victory against Virginia Tech.
The host Cavaliers (15-5, 6-1) matched their best start in conference play in 31 years. In all six of their ACC victories, they have led by at least 20 points in the second half.
Devin Wilson scored 12 to lead the Hokies (8-11, 1-6), who lost their sixth in a row. The Hokies again played without Adam Smith, their No. 3 scorer , who is out with a strained left calf.
Virginia Tech scored seven of the first nine points after halftime to get within 36-24, but Virginia responded by pushing its lead as high as 23 and coach Tony Bennett substituted liberally at the finish.

RALEIGH — For any architecture firm, it would be a plum assignment:
Design a 577,000-square-foot public building to keep up with the needs of a rapidly growing county government over the next 80 years.
Separate its two functions: public administration, and an active judiciary with 19 courtrooms.
Develop clear circulation patterns for both groups, but make sure that the judiciarys three constituencies its judges and staff, its jailed detainees and the general public meet only in its courtrooms.
OBrien/Atkins Associates of Research Triangle Park joined HOKs justice practice in Washington, D.C., to win the commission. And though their new building solidly solves the functional challenges presented by the county, its design is not quite so successful.
For inspiration, the architects looked diagonally across Salisbury Street to the countys Waverly F. Akins Building. A 1940s Art Moderne gem originally built for the Durham Life Insurance Co., it is surely Raleighs finest high-rise. With a polished, red granite base, and clad in limestone that gracefully steps back all the way to the top of its 15 stories, it was designed by Luther Lashmit of Northup and OBrien in Winston-Salem.
The Akins Building achieves a rare balance between vertical and horizontal design elements.
When it wants to emphasize that it is a tall building, its narrow windows align with indented vertical panels between floors and soar skyward. As it reaches up, it is crowned at the edge of wide horizontal setbacks with restrained ornament in the form of streamlined finials. It reinforces a human scale at its base, where paned windows are banded horizontally to relate to those passing by on the sidewalks it hugs.
The new Justice Center takes some of its cues from its neighbor, but where Lashmit used a light touch to connect to sky and street, here the hand is heavier. The architects used dark green granite at the buildings base, and a limestone-like precast concrete above. Its a gesture toward Akins, but alas, a limited one.
This building is all about the vertical, even for the low, three-story podium that begins to wrap around the 11-story tower. The podium is set back behind planters and benches, with tall, plate-glass windows aiming straight up. The courts entrance to the tower is set back even further from Salisbury, separated from the street by a plaza.
So where Akins snugs to the sidewalk, this structure recedes to emphasize its height. Where the human scale of Akins wide horizontal windows and low red granite base comfort the pedestrian, the centers planters, benches and distant green granite do not. They seem afterthoughts instead.
Then there are the vertical fins between windows, reaching from first floor to top of the tower. Even the shorter podium uses them, presumably as design elements to tie it to its taller sibling. They seem unnecessary ornament: The tower is tall without them, and the podium is short, with no need to look tall.
Inside, the architects fare far better. Besides the entrance on Salisbury, it offers a second one at Martin and McDowell streets, catty-cornered to Nash Square.
Visitors enter through two sets of glass doors into a low-ceilinged vestibule. Once past security, theyll encounter the architects most astonishing, compression-to-expansion achievement here: a soaring, awe-inspiring, five-story atrium. It is supported by columns clad in brightly polished, black-and-white Margherita granite from Brazil, reaching up to clerestory windows that drench taupe terrazzo floors in natural sunlight.
This is a space that makes way-finding easy. County employees man an information desk, with four electronic dockets containing case and courtroom information above. A ground-based electronic directory guides visitors to specific offices. A freestanding stairway leads to commissioners second-floor meeting space.
For all its size and height, this buildings interior succeeds best in its most intimate spaces. Its 19 courtrooms are hushed and quiet affairs, their walls lined in cherry wood panels, some acoustically treated. Those who approach the judges bench will lay their hands upon a slab of brown Michelangelo marble, veined in gold and white, and quarried in Afghanistan. The same stone lines the hallways.
Those hallways contain waiting areas with benches made of Brazilian granite, facing walls of gray and gold Jerusalem limestone. Gently carved into them are chevron patterns that echo decorative metal grilles outside. Where natural light strikes them, the patterns charm and soothe the onlooker all at once.
This building achieves all the client asked of its architects, and more. Judges and staff have their own elevator access from a below-ground garage, and detainees arrive in courtrooms through two isolated elevators, from holding areas also below grade. The public uses 10 high-speed elevators in the atrium. As for growth, the buildings sixth floor stands empty, ready to accommodate future needs.
Architects as gifted as Luther Lashmit are rare indeed, and Raleigh is both blessed and cursed to have his 1942 Akins Building here. Were blessed because it is so beautiful, and cursed because it is so difficult to live up to its design.
But if this new Justice Center disappoints somewhat at the street level, its interiors make up for that in spaces where good design matters most at the human level, with warmth, and a sensitive touch.

Clutter 1.1.4 Understands OpenGL Better
On the way to GNOME 2.30 and Moblin 2.2, the Clutter project has released a new developers snapshot version of its 3D toolkit with many improved details.
In simple terms Clutter is the 3D version of Gtk that provides visually appealing widgets and effects for GNOME programs. The newest version 1.1.4 is the second developers snapshot of version 1.1. It includes bugfixes and only a few new features. Developers want to freeze the library the end of January to provide a stable API for GNOME 2.30 and the next Moblin version.
The enhancements in Clutter 1.1.4 address first and foremost developers. Important details for users are improved backends for Mac OS X and Windows, OpenGL support for version 1.2 and later, and support for text direction in ClutterActor. Documentation was also brought up to date.
The current Clutter version requires GLib >= 2.16.0, Cairo >= 1.6, Pango >= 1.20 and OpenGL >= 1.2 or OpenGL|ES 1.1 or 2.0. The toolkit is under LGPL v2. Downloads are available at http://www.clutter-project.org/sources/clutter/1.1.

"Easy Read"
Both of these royal book's were a kickback easy read. I am in hopes there will be a third book on the other brother Max. Caitlin Davies southern accent was a little off. But certainly did not take away from the story line. I'm really glad that I read Suddenly Royal first, as Recklessly Royal picked up and continued the story.
"Always Entertaining"
I have never read a book by Julie Garwood that was anything but entertaining. As far as Tanya Eby goes, while the accent's could have been better. I have listen to much worse narrator's. All of Ms. Garwood's character's would be great in a book of their own. A book with these main characters have long been awaited. And for me was a real treat. I would love to see Walker's, Spencer's, and Liam's stories told.
"Best So Far"
This is just plain funny and cute. I think it is the best one so far of the series. I will be looking forward to anything else by this particular author. She has a keen since of humor that just seems to touch my funny bone. I laughed out loud when listening to all three of these book's. And truly hope everyone gets the same amount of enjoyment from them. The narrator Amy McFadden is perfect for this book. I have to admire her for being able to read this one without giggling out loud.
"Could have been a 5 star"
First let me say I have been a Catherine Coulter fan, since her first book was published. When her FBI thrillers came out I fell in love with Sherlock and Savich. And would immediately grab them as soon as they would come out. Until they brought in the paranormal and weird characters of the Blessed bunch. I have thrown more than one book and CD out into the garbage. I was so in hopes that they were done with that junk. And am praying that this last book will be the end to it at last. For one I think this book would have been a 5 star without the Blessed parts. Really like that they are bringing Nicholas over from England. And can see all kinds of possibilities for different really good stories.
"Cute Laugh Out Loud"
The dialogue in this book was really funny. Had me laughing out loud and shaking my head. Some of the analogy was simply a crack up. I absolutely love a book that can make me laugh as makes ones day better. No long drawn out sex scenes in this book which is refreshing to say the least. Just 14 hours of fun in my opinion. I will be looking for the next book in this series.
"Modern Fairytale"
This book is like a fairytale. With some cute, funny, and very sad scenes. I don't usually like a tear jerker love story. But this book was well worth the tissues used. As an adult I have no problem with a couple of sex scenes. But personally I found this book to be refreshing do to the absence of those overly drawn out sex scenes. That so many of the newer authors insist on putting into their stories. Which in my opinion add absolutely nothing to the story line. As for this book I wouldn't hesitate to let a young teen read this story. There would be no worries about encouraging bad morals just good character building. Good job of narration done by Cris Dukehart.
"Out of The Pan Into The Fire"
Wow-wee if action is what you are looking for go no further. These books have it all. Bang up hero's and heroines getting into situation after situation. Just when you think they are home free? Whack their right back into having to face the bad guy's again. I personally enjoyed these action packed books. Although I did get tuckered out, from trying to help them out of one hot spot after another. Even had to stop and rest a couple of times. Before going on with the story.
"Unlikely Pair"
Rock star and Doctor? Certainly not what I would call a compatible couple. But ended up being a cute story. Loved the teenage daughter with the attitude. She was cute and funny as she tried to play cupid between her dad and the lady. I see that Abigail Strom has written other books. So I can only hope that they will become available on audio before long. The two narrator's of this book were very good. It was a pleasure to hear the female voice done by a female. And the male voice done by a male narrator. Really put a nice touch on the book for me.
"Hard Headed Woman"
I really wanted to give this Jessica a kick in the pant's. I have little patience with someone who dives in when not needed. If this book had been real life. She would have ended up getting both of herself and the cop killed. Do I find her brave and heroic? No I find her hard headed and a know it all. Sorry Ms. Roberts I didn't particularly like this female lead. Like I usually do with your other female leads. Also sorry Mr. Podehl but your female voice was a little much. On the other hand your Male voices were very good. Think this would be better with you and a female narrator.
"Perfect Ending"
While each of these books could stand alone. It's a pleasure to read them in order. Once again I can't say enough about the narrators of each of them. James Daniels did a great job, just as the other's in bringing the story home. This family is what everyone longs for their families to be. When all of the Quinn's get involved in a problem look out, it's going to get taken care of. Tickled my funny bone when the dead grandma started talking to Seth. The way Nora Roberts ended this book makes me wonder If she might come back with another one. Wow if she does I will be first in line to get it.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Dec 24, 2012.
We have to see where Smith will start as well.
EVERYWHERE....Joe said "multiple positions."
Having Sheed on the team helps guide that "everywhere" position as he could do that.
There probably aren't many 6"9 260lb sf's in the italian league. Thats what he will be facing night in, night out.
Are there many of them in NBA?
Think about this. Does it matter?
I mean, are you saying it matters because he will face one every night?
Dude will probably be lucky to play 25 mpg in his first year. He can either play or not, he was dirt cheap.
But having high level expectations, taking big shots, being THE MAN, being doubled, this is all stuff this guy has had to deal with.
He's going to be imponente!
Jason Maxiel is 6'7", 260-pounds.
He ain't a 3
He ain't a 4 or a 5 neither.
Then he ain't qualifying to play against the Italian
Poor guy....they sell little pills to take care of that.
Separate names with a comma.

TiPb Asks: How important is simultaneous voice and data?
The Verizon iPhone can't do simultaneous voice and data, something AT&T is quick to point out in their latest commercial. But how important is that to you? Many of us have Wi-Fi at home and at work or at school so it's not an issue but how about when you're out and about? If you're on a call how critical is it that you be able to surf the web, send email or get push notifications? (Or if the call is just deathly boring how much do you need the distraction of the web or online games?)
The original EDGE-only iPhone couldn't do simultaneous voice and data either -- calls would go to voicemail if you were using data. With the Verizon iPhone on CDMA EVDO Rev A you're alerted to a call and can choose to pause data and then can't use data again for the duration of the call. It's more elegant but is it any less frustrating for people who've gotten used to doing it on AT&T?
Vote in the poll above and let us know how you came to your decision in the comments below!
There are 93 comments. Add yours.
Ive had a iphone for 3 years and only used voice and data at the same time arpund 5 times, but Ive had many dropped calls. Network is most important
apparently your not a heavy business user, who often takes calls, while at the same time downloading the pdf in the email, to scan it, so you can discuss it while on the call. Just one example of its usefulness
i've never in my life wanted to use data on my phone while i'm talking to someone. the phone up to my face to talk. That's pretty much all i'm doing. i'm sure the results will change a bit as soon verizon people get the phone. they've got the most people and most don't care.
You do realize that most people aren't going to be on a call and want to use data much outside a place that they're sitting down. Not in a car walking, down the street, etc. When people are going to use it is when they are sitting down somewhere, like at their job or at home. All the people that I know that have iPhone or have a work iPhone are advanced, because they have iPhones, and with this advancedness they have this revolution called Wi-Fi that lets you use voice and data at the same time!
I do IT support 24/7 for a public safety organization. I do not have WiFi everywhere. Especially don't consider to vacation in Europe and find an open Wifi. I have had up to two hour phone conversations while being on iTeleport and handling issues. This would have taken 4 times as long if I had to hang up. One hour of that was while at a kids soccer game. I imagine this feature to also be essential for anybody who is in a sales executive function and needs to look up prices while talking to a customer.
won't be an issue. once an lte capable iphone comes out you can have both at the same time.
yeah but apple isn't releasing an LTE phone until 2012,,,, have fun with no voice and data at the same time until next year
Actually, I am having a blast with no simultaneous voice/data. It is vey rare for he majority of users to require it, and as it is, I would much rather have a better network, and the better network is unanimously Verizon.
What a typical AT&T fanboy response!
I'm on hold enough durring the day that it is pretty important to me. I don't exactly need it, but being able to check facebook while I wait is def. A deciding factor.
Not a deal breaker ... but extremely important when needed!
It is definatly nice to have. But network is the most important. I don't use it that often, jus once in a while. But network is definatly the most important. Without good service you cant even have one of the two lol
I can honestly not think of a single time I've ever used voice and data simultaneously. Nor can I imagine a need ever coming up for it for me.
The new baseband chip in the verizon iPhone is capable of CDMA 2.0 that can do voice and data at the same time. So something to look out for in future.
"send email or get push notifications?" well...if you can't do that and talk at the same time that's just silly. Guess it depends on what type of work you do or how much time sensitive your communications are. I would hate to have to hang up on someone every time I had to send an email...or wait til my 2 hour Sunday conversation with my grandma to find out I got an important email.
Those on Verizon that believe data access is an absolute must-have already make use of other mobile data solutions that do not revolve around their phone. AT&T spreading FUD.
I'm not on AT&T but I am on a GSM iPhone and I use simultaneous voice and data almost daily. It's absolutely not FUD, it's just more important for some users than others.
If you're on Wi-Fi most of the time, it's meaningless. If you're out in the field and need to talk and check email and the web, it's critical. That's why Georgia is asking the question.
Very well put sir
And I'm saying if data access is truly critical, one can also easily make use of mobile data solutions that don't require your phone. I would have a netbook or aircard for a laptop if I absolutely had to have means of doing email, etc. when mobile, and rely on my phone to use as a phone first.
The reason most people use their iphone for data and I can understand why many want to do both voice and data simultaneously, and especially and more importantly as people start to take advantage of the mobile hotspot facility where using a verizon iphone would cause disconnection of all services while you talk on the phone the point you are missing is that it is far more convenient to answer an email on the go by slipping your hand in your pocket and pulling out your iphone and answer it on the go or replying to an email while you discuss it on the phone with the person or another person.
I've used aircards and I've used hotspots for wireless and it's just not the same lugging around a laptop or notebook and having to find somewhere to sit and work.
With the iphone this can all be done as you walk or go round a show. Say you are emailing notes to someone at a show about products and sending photographs of that product and talking to someone or answer calls at the same time. I would love to lug a laptop around. Talking of laptops, the start up time, even from standby is not viable for a busy person where they want to get something dealt with quick.
You really need be constructive with your criticism or comments and not find something negative to say for the sake of saying it.
It's the way Verizon users have had to do it - and still do. All I'm saying is those people who are truly dependent on email, web access while away from their computers will make use of mobile data solutions that don't rely on their phone, because their smartphones can't talk and do data at the same time - it is what it is, and it's not the big deal that AT&T is making over it. Yeah, it's a huge deal to people here - because of the kind of user they are. But to the average Joe 6-Pack, this is really much ado over nothing.
Why carry a laptop or netbook to get emails???
You make no sense. For some voice and data is a must have ( me) and for others not so much....... Hard to understand? I use this feature daily and much more prefer to have only a phone that does it all ( smatphone) then carry a phone, netbook and air card
I think what is lost on this issue of simultaneous voice and data is the fact that both Verizon and Sprint don't have simultaneous voice & data, yet they represent over 150 million cellphone users in the US. To a CDMA user, it's hard to see the necessity of simultaneous voice and data, becasue we never had it. There are many business users in that 150 million market. Yet, I haven't read or heard any commentary from Verizon business users wishing they had simulatenous voice and data on their phone. Verizon's VCAST Video service, which allows for watching TV shows on your phone, is the only feature I know that a phone call terminates the use of it. If I get a call while tethering, I can't use the internet while on the phone, but once the call is over, I can resume my tethering no problem. If I am watching a VCAST Video and call interupts it, I have to start over on the video. That can be inconvenient if I am watching a 10-15 minute video.
I think the speed of the network and the simultaneous voice and data are very strong reasons to stay with ATT. But us CDMA users never had an iPhone, so I am excited for the iPhone coming to Verizon. If ATT users want to jump, great, but if not, that's fine too. The Verizon iPhone is for the CDMA user, but because Verizon and ATT are rivals in a highly competitve market, marketing naturally promotes switching. I left ATT for Verizon because in the SF BAy Area, Verizon had better coverage where I used my ATT phone. When you're lost in the hills on windy roads, you appreciate having a phone that works!
Actually it is FUD. Because if simultaneous voice and data is an important feature for you you can setup a $3/mo. Skype unlimited US/Canada account to get that feature on the CDMA iPhone.
That is a terrible solution. Your data needs to be solid in order to use skype. I know verizon has better service but to think everywhere you go has enough to skype reliably is rediculous. As for keiths "users will carry laptops and smart cards", why do you even have a smartphone then? Go buy a Moro razor and save some money of your just going to carry your netbook everywhere.
No less reliable than AT&T's offerings. In the areas AT&T can offer data/voice Verizon is also going to have a strong enough 3G signal to allow Skype use. In areas AT&T can only offer EDGE, Verizon might still be able to offer a reliable data connection but if not they can at least still offer reliable calls.
I use voice and data all the same time all the time. Especially when I'm tethered, I can't afford to loose my Internet connection when a call comes in. I won't consider verizon till lte is on the iPhone on verizon.
I won't consider verizon for nothing, not even is they are the last company in the USA. they sucks, again their customer service sucks. and they can cover overseas not even Puerto Rico.
It's not that important, but it's very convieant. But thats the point of the whole iPhone right? You dont need internet in your pocket, bit it's convieant.
While not absolutely critical, I use simultaneous voice/data quite often and would miss it if it wasn't available.
The bigger issue that is being missed is the lack of talk & data while using the personal hotspot. It's easy for people to think about in terms of the current setup, however, in a couple weeks both AT&T and Verizon will have the ability to use a personal hotspot and only one will allow you to use your ipad/laptop while talking on the phone. That is the key thing that people are missing in this debate.
Jailbreak+mywi= currently able to tether wirelessly on my unlimited data plan with no ridiculous charges for limited data
Sent from my iPad wirelessly tethered to my jail broken AT&T iPhone 4=}
Yes, but I'm not sure what that adds to the conversation. You'll be able to do the same thing with Verizon's iPhone as well. However, it will behave the same way, when using mywi on ATT you'll be able to use your laptop/ipad while on a call, and on verizon you won't. It doesn't matter if you're using an "official" hotspot, or jailbroken mywi.
It's a dealbreaker, I'm on a phone call right now as I'm typing this post.
When I'm at work, I only get two 15mins, and a 30min break, and my girlfriend insists that I call her for EACH one, but my breaks are the only time I get to check my email, twitter, TiPb, Giz, Engadget, etc... So being able to talk to her while surfing in a non-wifi environment is a godsend.
I talk and use data on more than 80% of the phone calls I make. I don't have wifi at home, and I'm rarely around wifi.
I really couldn't fathom the thought of having to go to a CDMA device after having my GSM iPhone. I almost lose my mind on the rare events that my phone goes to EDGE.
Simultaneous voice and data is one of those things that you don't think is important until you don't have it. I was on verizon and switched to at&t and will never go back. don't miss that network at all!
Its nice to hav wen u r arguin wth d old lady & u can search for hotel room rates at d same time cuz most likely ur stayn some where else dat night. :)
As someone else who switched from VZW to ATT I love the voice+data rather than either/or. I travel for my work and have found no reason at all to miss the Verizon network, even in NYC (where my Droid had all the same problems the iphone owners love to complain about).
Are you referring to not having access to data? like .03Mbps/DL and .05Mbps/UL speeds in the middle of Manhattan? Some good simultaneous voice and data on ATT does for me.
I'm on AT&T edge only area so I never get to use data while on a call unless on wifi. So I it won't bother me
It's definately a nice have, but not something I base my decision on. I was with AT&T, but being able to do voice & data at the same time doesn't do any good when you don't have a signal to do either one with, and that was my issue more often than not with the AT&T iPhone. I have had zero problems with Verizon in the 8 months since I left AT&T for Verizon. I have good signal everywhere and now I can do either voice or data when I couldn't do either before. During my business use it is not an issue, as I am either in the office, which has WiFi everywhere on campus, or home, which also has WiFi. When I am not at either, there's a good chance I am in the car where I shouldn't be doing data anyway.
I think it's funny those who say not important since I have wifi. In that case what's the big deal about cutting the unlimited data plans to a 2gb limits. or 200 mb. Most people have wii at home, work, and school. When do younactuallu use 3G? Working out? Taking a dump in a public bathroom?
Why is it that the Blackberry, which has been the go to device for years, on Verizon has no voice/data and thats not an issue? If the argument is that its needed because of business use, then what about the blackberry? How do they manage? On wifi? Then whats the difference with the iPhone doing the same thing? Remember that if your phone cant make a simple call on the network that you are using (as is a big case with ATT) then what good does voice/data do for you? If you cant make a call, then you're only doing one thing at a time anyway.
it's like everything in life. when u have it, u dont really notice it....but u later feel crippled without it. =)
I guess for some it is a deal breaker not being able to use data while using voice but I don't use it, even when I am using the wireless networking for data I don't do it.
I am not a great multitasker and it would worry me that I would accidentally hang up on the person I was talking to LOL. I've done that just trying to look up a phone number for the person I was talking to on a Blackberry and know that I could easily screw it up trying to do multiple things at the same time on the iphone.
In my line of work and life in general, I constantly need to be able to make/receive calls while using GPS or reading my work email. I'm in the East Bay Area where I find all 4 major carriers basically equal in coverage, so AT&T is a good choice for me. I used to be with VZ, but in my experience, it doesn't work that well in my own home. So I go with what's best for me.
Have it now, have never used it.
i really need it, because I tether my laptop with my iPhone, at the same time i used my whatsapp,beejive messenger and facebook, and also i'm in a phone call. of course using my att.
Trust me having the iphone and not be able to talk and surf at the same time, is like having a ferrari in cuba. (no highways to squeeze the power).
No offense but att is the best in that. and i don't issues with drop calls.
You should make a poll of how the ability to roam is important is to most of us, :),
Well me and my girl went to the apple store this morning and got her a new iphone 4 for verizon. The data speeds are dramatically slower then mine. It takes longer to connect to a call. And when see was on a call she could not connect to google maps. Verizons network is really no better then at&t where we live. Same connection same signal bars. Other then this she is happy for the most part she likes it better then her android phone she had.
Technically, according to AT&T, we already have 4G phones. The iPhone 4 as well as the 3GS has hspa+ connectivity. Granted the speeds are only up to 7.2 mbs download which isn't 4G.
Also when we go over seas this summer her phone is useless. Thank god I have no problems with my AT&T iphone.
Granted, if you have wifi, it's a non-issue. And granted, once the next generation comes along, it won't matter. But for now, if you're in an area with good ATT coverage, those occasions when wifi isn't available makes this a big enough issue for me that it would be the deciding factor. I use both simultaneously "in the field" fairly often and would miss it. I suppose it's one of those things you don't miss if you've never had it but would hate to lose if you do.
People don't realize the importance of it till they actually have it. I never had it till I got the iPhone and I must say I don't know how I did without it. I'm not in the business profession per say but I do use the simultaneous voice and data a lot. I love it and it is great being able to surf the net etc. while talking and what not. I'll never go back to a phone that can do both.
I used to call people with Bluetooths in their ears douche bags. But, when I discovered simultaneous voice and data I had to buy one. Now I no longer need a laptop on the go. Couldn't live without it (but I look like a douche) :)
It's important once you use it and see how handy it is. For example, to try and get tickets to a concert I was on the phone with ticketmaster while also using the website to improve my chances to get tickets. And that's just only one way I use it.
Now its pro iPhone people arguing with pro iPhone people about the iPhone over the network, I'm and iPhone user from day one and its been one of the better all around phones I have had and I will stick with ATT because I have not ever had any problem and I never use my phone simultaneous. It just sounds like the people on this blog site just like to argue.
It's not important to Verizon becaus they have never had it. You can't miss what you haven't had. AT&T customers have always had it, so for most it's a need or nice to have when needed.
I would like to see a poll of AT&T switchers who no longer have the feature. Dothey wish they still had it. I think that would be a better poll.
I don't use it every day but I have used it quite a bit. If I was to switch to Verizon I would miss it. It's very very convenient for those times it's needed.
For that reason I would not switch. I am starting to think about switching when the iPhone is LTE capable. I don't have bad service BUT Verizons service is better for most of the places I venture to here in Las Vegas.
What good is simultaneous voice and data for AT&T when you can't even get a signal. Kind of useless if you ask me given that AT&T is known for poor signal and dropped calls. Same thing with the speed.
You are correct that simultaneous voice/data doesn't matter if you can't get dependable service. But for those of us who do have dependable ATT service -- and many do -- it's enough to sway one's opinion on which carrier to use. Believe me, you wouldn't want to give it up if you got accustomed to having it.
Exactly. I use it at work all the time. I can't be like: "I'll call you right back." "hello! Ooooh. Sh|t. I'll call you back again!"
Simultaneous voice and data is a deal breaker for me.. It all comes down to the individual. If you use verizon, iphone or not. It's obviously not important to you. I don't care about talking and looking at sites. It's about other things like being able to talk and VNC, SSH, receive email, FTP, etc..
i really need it, because I tether my laptop with my iPhone, at the same time i used my whatsapp,beejive messenger and facebook, and also i'm in a phone call. of course using my iPhone.
Trust me having the iPhone and not be able to talk and surf at the same time, is like having a ferrari in cuba. (no highways to squeeze the power).
No offense but att is the best in that. and i don't have issues with drop calls.
Ok honestly it's critical for business users and very social people all this bull**** about that I don't talk and use the Internet and it's stupid, is because probably uou really don't need to, if your using your phone with headphones and someone asks you a question that needs data you would have to Hang up and call back , in the business world that means someone else gets the job.
Are you jealous because you don't have it.. i'm not a business man, i'm just an average joe, and i like to have it, i do use it a lot.
I get a lot whatsapp mesages, beejive, mms, emails, facebook, i do use google,gps, etc. even when i do 6 phone calls at the same time. my point is, you don't have to be a business person to have that benefit of voice and data at the same time..
by the way dude having the iPhone without that, is like having a Ferrari in the bolivian mountain, (there is not highway to do top speed). Sorry for your luck chuck.. and is a fact jack.
My iPhone (AT&T) is my only phone for work/home. Just today while on a conference call sitting outside on my deck someone asked for me to check out an email he was going to send to the rest of the team. I often use data/voice at the same time, so this is a big deal for me.
In my state, most of what AT&T provides us is EDGE, not 3G. The "Surf & Talk" only works on Wi-Fi or 3G. It does not work if you are on EDGE. Look at a coverage map, and see how many people on AT&T do not have 3G. Their are a huge number of us who are on EDGE and can't use data while on a phone call anyway. AT&T's whole "Surf & Talk" argument is very deceptive.
My thoughts exactly.
Back in the days of dial-up, I had to choose between voice or data on the landline. Never went back after I had DSL 12 years ago and could do both simultaneously. Why would I want to go back to 1999 with my smartphone? That would be a dumbphone, IMO.
Use it alot.
Comes in handy
When on road using maps and checking emails
I can't even read these comments anymore! I use voice/data at the same time EVERYDAY. I couldn't even begin to list the uses for it, there's too many. I got the iPhone for a reason, to use the internet (or internet connection required apps) and talk on the phone at the same time while on the go. Its a smartphone for a reason! To have a Verizon iPhone is like having half an iPhone, you cant fully use it! Your just shooting yourself in the foot. Plus, ATT has faster 3G...
Then you keep your ATT iphone. I've had verizon for four years and have never lost a deal or lost a sales opportunity because I didn't have both at the same time. Free wifi is so readily available it's not even nearly the issue all you att fags make it out to be.
AT&T has voice + data, faster 3G.. i agree to all your points.. but with AT&T the iPhone is just not a phone because its unable to make phone calls 70% of the times.
In my state, most of what AT&T provides us is EDGE, not 3G. The "Surf & Talk" only works on Wi-Fi or 3G. It does not work if you are on EDGE. Look at a coverage map, and see how many people on AT&T do not have 3G. Their are a huge number of us who are on EDGE and can't use data while on a phone call anyway. AT&T's whole "Surf & Talk" argument is very deceptive. AMEN
Well said RED
Oh yeah, when I'm on the phone for about 5 minutes I NEED TO BE ON THE WEB. ITS SO IMPORTANT I HAVE TO CHECK OUT THE WORLD'S GREATEST SITE TIPB JFGSG;KDFJSG (sarcasmgate)
Alot of people use it with maps to get help finding each other. Very big reason to have data/voice
??? Yes it important no tethering when on call (hotspot...)
For the AT&T customers who don't have 3G towers anywhere near them, such as myself, we have never had the advantage of simultaneous voice and data. We are still stuck on EDGE. A Verizon Iphone has the advantage of faster data speeds and better coverage over an AT&T phone that only can connect on EDGE. I can't wait to switch. I won't miss simultaneous voice and data, because I have never had it thanks to the meager 3G coverage AT&T offers.
Since work provides me with a mifi card and edge is all that is available to me where I work this is gonna work out great for me personally.
I can ditch my Verizon phone that I have needed to carry to assure the ability to make a call and have voice and data with my Verizon iPhone and mifi card. The whole argument is situational per individual.
I've used voice/data a few times simultaneously and it was pretty helpful. Before I would obviously have to Bangui and keep calling the other person back. I use a Bluetooth when I'm on a call so it is pretty convient at times.
For me, it's major. I'm always on a call and using the internet at the same time to handle some sort of task or issue. I think that it's real dumb not to have it. It's a feature that should come standard on any network technology.
To me, it's not important because AT&T does not offer 3G service where I live. It's EDGE only, so it's not like I can even surf and talk as is. In addition, I'm on a wifi connection the majority of the time I'm surfing--only cause AT&T can't seem to make EDGE work even.
I can't wait for my Verizon iPhone. At least they have 3G where AT&T doesn't! I don't care about speed, I just want the Internet to work!
It's one of those "I didn't know how much I rely on it until I don't have it" things. I'm frequently on long phone calls (very very few dropped calls, btw) and frequently find myself using data while on the call.
Another difference is long text messages.. CDMA chops them up, GSM is smart enough to put them back together.
"Another difference is long text messages.. CDMA chops them up, GSM is smart enough to put them back together."
You are highly mistaken. Have you ever even used CDMA? I had an old Audiovox phone back in the analog/digital hybrid days that sent the message in one fell swoop. Other phones wout break them into multiple messages. My current Android device sends one long message. Blackberries send long messages over BBM but breaks them up during SMS...
Are you getting it? It's dependent on the phone, not the network technology.
It's called MMS and EMS, multimedia messaging and enhanced messaging. SMS is limited to 160 characters, MMS can hold 1000 plus media and EMS is older but is what you are referring to as chopped up messages. CDMA is "smart enough" to do them all.

thanks so much!!
It appears that your ears are quite noise-sensitive, not an uncommon occurence when you have tinnitus (I have it, too), so as much noise as you can avoid, the better. If you continue exposing your ears to more noise, your symptoms be last longer or even become permanent. The choice is yours, but the ears and your hearing is such a precious gift, that it would be shame to continue to push the envelope. Right now, your hearing is good, according to the ENT. Hopefully, it will remain that way.
The course of tinnitus is unpredictable, so there is really no way to predict the future.
Also, my daughter had a mild mitochondrial disorder causing developmental delay and she is on a cocktail on COQ10 that is actually working and reversing and stopping certain symptoms/markers. So of course some research I read said Coq10 may help.... I was going to try 50mg a day since it has no side effects unless I go above 200 mg per day.. any thoughts? thanks so much!!!!!
It is not very likely that you have a wax impaction, but if the ENT never looked, how would we know? Someone needst to look inside before wasting your time on cleaning your ear canal. It is more likely that your problem is with your Eustachian tubes on the other side of the eardrum....in the middle ear space.
I am not a big fan of anyone self-treating, especially with this cocktail of a substance that I know nothing about. I cannot endorse it.
I was not happy with this ENT... He seemed to busy to spend anytime with me. thanks
Eustachian tube problems can be tricky to fix and it take TIME....How long? Unpredictable.
thanks again!
Singing with earplugs is going to be a challenge, but if you can make it work...great.
I loved them and they worked great. Unfortunately, they did not give me as much protection as needed because my ears are buzzing pretty bad like you get after a loud concert. It has been around 36 hrs since the last note was played and they are buzzing. My last pred was yesterday so I started Ginko and Lipofavanoids. I realize they may not do anything but it is worth a shot. Should I call the ENT?
Also, I guess I have to find some better plugs.... I prob need at least 20 db reduction....
thanks again!!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and all across metro Atlanta, events are being held to raise money and recognition of this major health risk to women.
In Sandy Springs, bicyclists will be participating in an over Oct. 13-14 called the 24 Hours Of Booty Bike Ride. On Oct. 18, Brookhaven's Taryn Reed Jewelry & Loving Local will host a girls night out shopping event, where a portion of proceeds will benefit research through www.keep-a-breast.org.
Rue 21 locations in Stone Mountain and Lithonia are donating portions of their Breast Cancer Awareness merchandise to the Glimmer of Hope Foundation.
And in Buckhead and Virginia-Highland, Van Michael Salon and the Pink Heels Foundation are offering a variety of specials and deals through October.
Almost every metro Atlanta community has extensive resources and support groups for women whose lives have been touched by the disease, from Black Girls Run in the Cascade and southwest Atlanta neighborhoods to groups that meet regularly in Dunwoody.
But according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics, heart disease is the No. 1 natural cause of death among women in most every statistical group, with cancer a close second.
Some people have wearied of the number of events and promotions during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and some worry that it takes too much attention away from discussing other serious health risks.
What do you think? Tell us in the comments area below this article.

With the Rise of the Underdark campaign underway, this year has seen its share of drow incursions against the surface world—playing out right now in both the current D&D Encounters season and D&D Lair Assault. Add the recent release of Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue, and it's highly possible that your campaign could be venturing into the Underdark.
To help DMs add further detail to their adventures underground, Jason Sholtis (of The Dungeon Dozen) has provided the following tables—in the spirit of the 1st Edition DMG's appendices, charts, and random encounters!
Consuming the brains and psyches of beings of unknown provenance can sometimes transfer unwanted/undetected behavioral characteristics to mind flayers.
Perpetually on the verge of bursting into song.
Penchant for tactile comforts: only the finest, most luxurious, softest and plushest fabrics and garments will do.
Enhanced competitive spirit, difficulty resisting challenges.
Knee-jerk politeness, as in "I'm awfully sorry to trouble you, I realize it's a terrible inconvenience, but I'm going to have to eat your brain now."
Always fiddling with worry beads taken from victim.
Occasional (and extremely distasteful) moments of awe and reverence for all living beings.
Barbarian-like rages, sudden onset.
Nervous facial tic expressed by inappropriately writhing tentacles.
Waves of despair accompanied by the mind flayer equivalent of inconsolable weeping.
Continual cracking of knuckles, neck, spine.
Irrepressible thirst for the strongest distilled spirits.
Compulsively tries to scratch itchy nose which is not there.
About the Author

McDonnell Scandal Threatens Virginia's Race For Governor
Polls show Cuccinelli, McAuliffe tied in Virginia's race for governor.
McAuliffe and Cuccinelli are tied in polls, and neither is very popular with voters.
Virginia's gubernatorial race could be complicated by the controversy swirling around Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell, who is currently being investigated for possibly taking gifts from political donors.
But no one knows how problematic the case could be just yet. That's because McDonnell, a popular centrist rumored to have 2016 presidential ambitions, distanced himself earlier this year from current Republican candidate Ken Cuccinelli, a base-rousing conservative currently serving as the state's Attorney General. Meanwhile Democratic candidate, Terry McAuliffe, who is working to appeal to independent and right-leaning business leaders, sought to embrace signature McDonnell policies.
"We really don't know how what's happening with McDonnell is going to play out," says Bob Holsworth, a Virginia political analyst. "And what's interesting is that so far, Democrats really haven't tried to take advantage of this. McAuliffe had been in many ways cozying up to McDonnell, and his transportation plan and contrasting McDonnell's pragmatism, with Cuccinelli's supposed hard-line ideology and at the same time, McDonnell was just fending off these various investigations."
[READ: Va. Legislator Demands Gov. Bob McDonnell Resign]
McAuliffe and Cuccinelli are tied in polls, according to an average by RealClearPolitics.com, and neither is very popular with voters, many of whom are not yet paying close attention to the race.
"There's a lot to dislike about both of these guys and everybody seems to be pointing that out," says Harry Wilson, director of the Institute for Policy & Opinion Research at Roanoke College.
But Cuccinelli's ability to fire up his base thanks to his social conservative credentials may end up being his greatest asset in the likely low-turnout, off-year election, Wilson says.
"Who's more excited than the others? At this point in time, Cuccinelli has a base he can excite – it's not a gigantic base, it's not close to a majority of Virginians," he says. "It's difficult for me to find McAuliffe's base that is excited. Clearly they support him, clearly they think he is infinitely better than Ken Cuccinelli. If that's the best thing you have to say about somebody, that's not a rousing endorsement."
[READ: Virginia Voters Don't Seem to Care Who The Next Governor Is]
For their part, the opposing campaigns are content to spar throughout the summer in search of an issue that sticks.
Cuccinelli spokeswoman Anna Nix says McAuliffe, a prolific Democratic fundraiser prior to running for office, lacks business credibility and substance and has misled Virginians on his record.
"This intersects with McAuliffe's failure to offer substantive or serious policy proposals, while at the same time embracing ruinous liberal policies such as whole-hearted support for Obamacare, contempt for right-to-work and praise for the White House's self-proclaimed 'war on coal,'" she says.
Josh Schwerin, spokesman for the McAuliffe campaign, says his candidate is focused on improving the economy while "Cuccinelli is struggling with two ethics scandals."
[ALSO: White House Gate Crasher Tareq Salahi Doing Write-In Campaign for Virginia Governor]
"Cuccinelli's campaign has been defined by extremism and now scandal, while Terry has been gaining bipartisan support for his mainstream economic focus," he says.
Wilson says it will take time to see whether or not any of the hot issues of the moment have any real impact on the race.
"People aren't paying that much attention to these things," he says. "What they are going to tune into depends on when they tune in and what's going on at that point."

Customer Reviews
- Excellent repair Review by John Blumenreiter (March 2006)
- I just wanted to let you guys know how pleased I am with the repairs to my G-1. You replaced the zipper and cuffs. The workmanship is terrific, please tell your technicians they do great work. When I need another jacket US AUTHENTIC will be number one on my list (Posted on 7/23/10)
- I don't know how you do it!! Review by Tor Jokling (February 2006)
Last Saturday, february 25, I ordered a G-1 flight jacket from your company.
Today, not six days later, UPS Norway called, and told me my order had arrived and was ready to be delievered at my house. I could almost not believe it was trueI This was also the case with my two previous orders from your excellent company, and it's most amazing. I don't know how you do it!
I naturally love the jacket, which fits me like a glove, and has the most soft and subtle goatskin I have ever seen (better than my Eastman version of the G-1).
I am most satisfied with the quality of your products, the quick and professional service, and the fact that this speed gave me the opportunity to wear the jacket while it's still cold here in Norway (we actually have relatively warm weather here during the spring and summer!).
Thank you again!
Best Regards from a most happy customer (Posted on 7/22/10)
- Incredible customer service Review by Joe Frasier
I purchased a G1 flight jaccket for you a few years ago. I recently sent it to a cleaners and it came back without the zipper pull strap. No big thing but I liked the way it looked. I e-mailed your company to buy a new one and was sent one free of charge within a week, this was during the Christmas season. To me this high level of customer service means a lot. Thanks again.
Joe Frasier (Posted on 7/22/10)
- This jacket is absolutely PERFECT Review by J K CT.
The above listed jacket ( G-1)was purchased by my wife and was given to me as a Christmas present which I ultimately exchanged for a custom jacket (you might recall our conversations). I called and spoke with customer service on Dec. 29 and you were a tremendous help in assisting me with defining what I needed in what would eventually be my custom jacket. Per your instructions, I dropped the jacket of at UPS on Tuesday Jan 6, at noontime. UPS said it would arrive at your location Wednesday. Now I recall from our earlier conversations that you indicated that once you received the returned jacket, that you'd have my custom jacket out to me within 4-5 days.....that in itself surprised me....l mean delighted me....and I was impressed with your attention to customer service. Well, On Friday Jan 9, when I got home, the new custom jacket was waiting fro me....WOW !
So, the service was absolutely EXCELLENT.....it was OUTSTANDING !
Now the new Jacket is absolutely perfect. I love it. The customization we discussed and which you were able to do (so rapidly) makes the jacket just perfect....l am very very happy with the jacket and with my entire dealings with you and your company. This has been my best "mail-order buying ! customer service story" ever. I have told many friends of this great experience in general and have pointed a few potentially interested buyers your way.
Considering the attention you paid to me, I'm only sorry I took so long to write you this thank you note to say everything is great. I know what it's like sometimes...you always hear from a customer when there is a problem and we always want quick action......l just wanted to say thanks and let you know that I am very very happy with my new custom fitting G-l.
Thanks again. (Posted on 7/22/10)
- Looks great, perfect fit Review by S.W.
I just wanted to thank you for all your help. I recieved my
"ANJ-3"jacket yesterday and it looks great and fits really well. The quality of the finished product is clearly evident. I appreciate your help and rapid service. I asked for quite a number of custom options on this jacket and they were all done perfectly. I also am quite pleased with how quickly you were able to get my jacket to me. Given the custom nature of my order I would have expected a long wait. (Remember I have been dealing with E****** up until now) I'll be back in touch for squadron patches and eventually for the B-3's we talked about. Since it was raining today I couldn't try out my new jacket in the cockpit ,however if the weather holds for the weekend I sure will give it a try. I think this will become my every day jacket. I will be sure to tell my friends ( and anyone else who will listen ) about you, your quality products and your super service. (Posted on 7/22/10)
- Absolutely perfectly manufactured Review by Joost van Rossum
I just received my jacket yesterday. Everything on it is just the way I wanted it, with exceptional quality sewn in. You cannot find a better leather coat anywhere, trust me, I have looked for years. Don't settle for store bought, when this kind of quality is still to be found. I can see why WWII flyers jackets were so tough and last so long. So it is with great pleasure that I recommend US Authentic to anyone whom is even slightly hesitant about ordering from them. Their service and quality is unmatched. Many Thanks!!!!Today I received my G-1 jacket. When I first saw the box the jacket was packed in I thought my god, isn't the jacket too small? It was such a small and light package. But at home I unpacked the box and I saw a beautiful jacket. Really excellent leather and absolutely perfect manufactured. The jacket wears really easy and light. I'm absolutely delighted. The size is OK although the back of the jacket is a bit (too?) long. The sleeves, shoulders and back are perfect. Maybe by wearing the jacket the back will fit better....? I really must compliment you with your product and the way you helped my out by finding the right size (I admire your patience) and by coping with my impatience (I apologize for that, but I just couldn't wait to put my jacket on). More, this was my first big purchase on/by the internet, and I'm reassured now. Things can go well if you find the right company.
Thanks again and I think we will hear from each other again. I will of course tell my friends where one can get this kind of jacket! (Posted on 7/22/10)
- Great quality and fit Review by Steve LeFebvre
- I received my G-1 today (12/27/99)after a very brief wait. I am very impressed with the quality and fit. Thank you for your recommendation on the size. My next purchase will be an A-2 and then maybe an Irwin. Wishing you a very prosperous 2000. Thanks. (Posted on 7/22/10)
- Highest quality, PERFECT fit Review by Mike H. Cochran
Thanks for the G-1 jacket, I just received it today and it is of the highest quality! The fit is perfect, I was a little concerned as to whether to order a 44R or 46R so I sent in my measurements as instructed. You then came back with a recommendation of 44R, and the fit is PERFECT! I would also like to say how happy I am with the service. I ordered on April 18th and received my jacket on April 21st! You got everything right, although my mailing address is in Oregon, I wanted my jacket shipped to my hotel in California, where I'm currently assigned and to tell you the truth, I was a little surprised when the front desk called today to tell me "there is a package for you Mr. Cochran".
(Posted on 7/22/10)
- Excellent leather and workmanship Review by Cal York
I called yesterday about replacing the collar on my G-1 and was told that it will not be a problem. I managed to ruin the collar in less than a month after purchase. That's probably some kind of record! I tried to remove some particles that were caught in the fur by using a hand held attachment from a vacuum. Pretty smart huh? You can see the result. I appreciate your help and the fact that I am able to have the manufacturer re-work my jacket. I would probably be out of luck if I had bought through another company. I am VERY happy with the quality of the leather and the workmanship that went into the making of my G-1. It's also very comfortable while flying, it's nor bulky or restrictive in any way, but that'd what is was designed for. Also, could you please send me some of business cards to give to the people that are asking me about it. It might be a good idea for you to send some along with each new jacket sold.
I will definitely be more careful in the future and I hope the next time I have to call you will be to order an A-2! Thanks for your help. (Posted on 7/22/10)
- The absolute best Review by Daryl Dellone
Just wanted to let you know the G-1 is everything you said it was. I was a little concerned about ordering a jacket I had not seen in person but after it arrived I compared it to the one I had from San Diego Leather Jacket co. There is no comparison. Your quality is the absolute best. Excellent leather and it just looks and feels right. Thanks to customer support for their patience on the phone.
Now I want the G-8. (Posted on 7/22/10)
