Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Rosenthal says the Braves are growing impatient...
The Padres are still weighing offers for right-hander Jake Peavy, and
on Friday discussed the possibility of keeping the pitcher if they fail
to receive a satisfactory proposal, according to a major league source.
The Braves, after weeks of discussions, are growing impatient, another
source said, and soon might push for a resolution. The Braves and Cubs
remain the front-runners, with the Yankees and Dodgers on the
backburner. ...
That has to be good for the Cubs, Hendry has no problem waiting it out.
- Jeff Passan returns with his tail between his legs.
They had hoped for the Cubs to include pitcher Jeff Samardzija as part of a deal that could include outfielder Felix Pie, pitcher Sean Marshall and infielder Ronny Cedeno, but Samardzija has a full no-trade clause that he has no intent on giving up, said his agent, Mark Rodgers.
"Under no circumstances are we going to waive the no-trade provisions," Rodgers said Friday.
The Cubs are tinkering with other players – pitcher Kevin Hart,
minor-league pitcher Donnie Veal and, according to various reports,
perhaps top hitting prospect Josh Vitters and minor leaguers Mitch
Atkins, Wellington Castillo and Jose Ceda.
Chris DeLuca hints that the Padres certainly would certainly love Samardzija, but it would be a deal-breaker for the Cubs.
- Supposedly Kevin Towers was on the radio with Bruce Levine and talked about how well respected Jim Hendry is among other GM's and that it may give the Cubs the leg up in the Peavy sweepstakes.
- The rest of the NL Central is still open for business and Rosenthal says the Cards are offering Skip Schumaker, Ryan Ludwick and RHP Mitchell Boggs and possibly more for the Matt Holliday. The Brewers are awaiting a counter-offer from C.C. Sabathia's camp.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
For the Braves, why the rush? You'd think the Cubs would be the ones to be anxious to get a deal done with Dempster's contract demands.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
The Braves are looking to add two starters, so they want to get this done before they can trade numbers with the FA's, and probably they feel like they're being toyed with.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Looking at the list of Free-Agent Eligible and Arbitration Eligible, I see 4 maybe 5 guys that it is imperative to take care of. Kerry Wood, not only because he was better than I expected as a closer, but also because he is and should forever be a Cub. Ryan Dempster proved that he can do anything asked of him, and he can do it above average. He was a stabilizing factor in the rotation when the others were hot-and-cold. Michael Wuertz just gets the job done any time he is brought in and should be a high priority (sign him before arbitration for a slight discount). Reed Johnson... If only because I really like his day-in, day-out effort (I was at the game in Washington when he dove into the wall to make that catch). That effort saved Dempster at least 2 runs and the game. Also, for the "maybe" guy... Jimmy Edmonds. His contribution throughout the season as a lefty to be contended with cannot be measured by numbers. Without him, we'll have to spend a lot more money to replace him.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Wuertz is decent but not as good as you make out. Edmonds would be a mistake. Too much to ask him to repeat what he did last year. We would have to overpay too whereas last year we got him for league minimum.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Well said.
I think some people don't give Wuertz as much credit as he deserves. He's very good for the price, right now, and can be lights out at times (he can be really awful at times, too, when he's wild). I'm beginning to wonder who is behind him throwing almost exclusively the slider, though, Wuertz or Rothschild? He can get away with throwing lots of them, but he's going to need to throw the fastball too.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Brewers hire Willie Randolph as bench coach. More signs of a tough job market.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
With the exception of Soto and Marmol, there isn't any player without a 'no trade' clause that I wouldn't trade for Peavy. That includes Vitters, W. Castillo, and any other 'prospect' in the Cubs minor league system. Zambrano, Peavy, Harden, and Lilly is a helluva rotation with or without Dempster. If they can afford Dempster and Peavy, then the can afford to re-sign Wood or Fuentes to be the closer and let Dempster go elsewhere. Save the rest of that money to trade for Brian Roberts, or better yet, sign Furcal to play SS. Then finally move Theriot to 2B to platoon with Fontenot. Soriano, Johnson, Fukudome, and DeRosa can play OF.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
I'm really shocked that the Cubs are interested in Peavy, I wasn't counting on starting pitching as something they were going to try to work on, I pretty much penciled in losing Dempster and having to go from there.
I don't care about Dempster if they are able to get Peavy.
The priorities for the off season for me are still bullpen, center field and right field.
Peavy is just some kind of great gravy.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Yeah, of course, Samardjiza would be a deal-breaker because he just maybe... might be... awesome in 5 years. Totally worth it to junk a trade for Jake Freaking Peavy for that reason.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Are you kidding me? He's awesome NOW. Didn't you see that mullet?
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
He's pretty good now, although I agree I'd part with him if it meant getting Peavy. Unfortunately he's got a NTC and Samardzija's agent said they won't waive it for any reason.
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
it is also well known that he turned down going to boston
f dlee
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
Can you blame him? He knows that if he gets moved, it won't be to a contender. He's getting up there, his numbers are down, and he wants to win another one before calling it a career. He's got his money, he likes the town and the team. I can't blame him for that. What's the point of having a NTC if you don't use it?
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
Exactly. You get the NTC so that you have some say in your future.
I think Lee will bounce back at least a little next year and we'll be happy he wasn't traded at the lowest point of his value in a while.
Oh, and Giles is a moron. His tan is more important than playing for a contender. What a body waxer.
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
I love how DLee is excused for not wanting to waive his NTC, but Giles isn't, all in the same post.
To quote you, but in regards to Giles:
You get the NTC so that you have some say in your future.
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
But that isn't the point.
Players earn NTCs, and in turn have the right to determine their future.
Players have more concerns than winning, including family.
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
Well, maybe Giles just thought the Padres were having an off year and were going to be back in contention like they'd been the previous two years.
Lee is 5 and 10 now anyway.
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
What Rob said.
But also, hypocrisies sometimes arise in that my player likes and dislikes are not always dictated by reason but I like to pretend they are.
I do, however, approve of Lee's likely reasons for wanting to stay in Chicago, especially since the Cubs are likely to be good again next year. I can't understand staying on an awful Padres team when you could play for a team that had the best record in the NL and you'd really only have to stay there until they were eliminated from the playoffs or won a World Series.
But, you're right, Giles had the right to refuse a trade and he did so. I mostly just dislike him for completely irrational reasons, though I'd love his OBP skills in the lineup (but not at much expense).
I think when he was a free agent he reportedly didn't really want to sign with Chicago because he didn't like the city, the ballpark, the fans, or some such thing.
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
Who bats third: Ramirez? The yet to be determined RF?
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
I hope we get Furcal as well, but do we really expect we can trade for Peavy, re-sign Demp and Wood and get Furcal? Plus, Furcal and the Dodgers reportedly have mutual interest. Ned'll do one of his patented more money for less year deals, and the Cubs will have Theriot starting again Opening Day 2009.
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
So it's all about DLee then. Under your scenario, it makes him a selfish jerk.
Why do you want to play for a team that doesn't want you?
I understand 10/5 but no matter how they get them, a NTC that extends beyond 1 or 2 years is terrible.
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
there's more people playing baseball that don't really care for the glitz and glamor of the ring than people would suspect (though they work hard and stay in playing shape). hell, some could care less they actually play baseball...they just do because they're good at it even though they work hard to play the game in proper shape. adam dunn would probably trade 1/2 his $$ worth to play football for a last place team if given the chance to play everyday.
that said...i got no idea what could be giles's issues aside from his heavy community, family, and friendships in the area.
honestly, it's probably more about 2009 than it was about the last 2 months of 08.
the guy came a long way for a near AAAA type player who finally got a callup to do platoon work. took til age 28 before he became an everyday player even though it probably should have happened around age 25/26.
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
i didn't compare lee to giles.
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
I wonder, do they consider Hermida a platoon player or a 4th outfielder? From full-time to 4th outfielder would be a pretty big demotion.
Re: Thorough run-down of Bruce Levine
Its an either or sitution at this point. If we dont get Peavy, a Hermdia and Olsen deal becomes the the main priority. I think I had rather have Hermaida and Olsen over Peavy though. Olsen is starting to become a decent no.2 MLB starter and Hermadia could be a 25-30 HR guy in Wrigley. Also I imagine both of combined would cost us less money in the next 3 years compared to Peavy. I imagine our RF if we get Peavy will be Ryan Church. It seems Minaya wants to unload him and god knows they need pen arms. I could see something like Church for Wuertz.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
has peavy made a statement at all about his wishes?
it doesn't surprise me that he's limited his choices to 3 teams (LAD/ATL/CHC), but while i can understand why LAD/ATL...CHC confuses me a bit.
according to a sun-times story yesterday no other teams will be considered and that's peavy's "list".
wonder why CHC gets the nod...wonder what their team reputation was around the league last season as far as a place to work.
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
"maybe he just doesn't like New York"
Pure speculation, but he may not want to play second fiddle to Santana, too.
"I'm guessing he just liked St. Louis and Chicago"
Chicago had 97 wins last year and St. Louis has Albert Pujols to team up with and Dave Duncan to coach him (those are the only reasons I can imagine wanting to play with St. Louis right now, though).
Re: Saturday Cubs Hot Stove Round-Up
Reportedly, he's always enjoyed pitching at Wrigley and likes the city and the fans. He's apparently recently talked with such people as Sutcliffe, Gracey, and others who have told him who great it is to play everyday as a Cub.
The whole bit about not wanting to hurt the other team too much in a trade, and Towers' reported compliments of Hendry, also make a Chicago deal seem feasible. Here's hoping they like the quality (but more likely the quantity) of our prospects more than Atlanta's.
Re: Grain of salt alert
Detroit? LAD has better players to offer now than what Atlanta is purportedly trying to get him for.
It could be that the Padres front office is of the same mind about Peavy that I am, and that's why they want to trade him during the off-season, rather than have to hope he doesn't have another DL trip by July 31.
Re: Grain of salt alert
How are the Braves "stealing" Peavy, but the Cards or Cubs cant match it? If ATL is offering something like Hanson, Escobar, Schaffer and Morton, then yes nobody is going to match that, But the guy makes it sound likes it a Harden-type deal, so why couldnt someonematch it.
Re: From the AJC
This is similar to that time when the Cubs were so close to signing Furcal, and the Dodgers just swooped in and took him away. Of course, that contract didn't work so well for LA. So who will outswoop whom for Peavy?
Recent comments
Friday's games will be in Washington, Chicago, Arlington, and Cleveland or Boston. Someone's game is starting laaaaaaaate - 50-50 chance it's the CDT Cubs.
Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...

Consumer Reports ranks AT&T U.S. worst carrier, Verizon leads the way
0. phoneArena 29 Nov 2012, 07:28 posted on
There are two things Consumer Reports has been widely known for recently. First is not liking the iPhone and second is not liking AT&T…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Ha-Ha..... we already know this in New York York!!
All my friends who have AT&Terrible all say it's horrible (but they're used to it)!!
So much for their P.R. blitz!!

AT&Terrible? Have you used them before?
47. Hammerfest (Posts: 383; Member since: 12 May 2012)
I have, and can definitly agree with this report...
I also wish to add that AT&T DSL is horrid as well, and they lock out other companys as well :/
60. StringCheese01 (Posts: 64; Member since: 27 Jan 2012)
AT&T is absolute crap. Yes they tend to have the fastest LTE speeds, but what good will that do if you can't receive data anywhere!!
Don't even get me started on their horrible customer service or dropped call issues. Not surprised by this report at all.
72. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
I have....and in my area....they might be better than Verizon. I have Verizon. I just go by what works for me when I want n need it. My PS Vita using AT&T data gets better data reception in my apt than any smartphone I had/have on Verizon.
I used/use mostly Motorola phones on Verizon, currently have a Maxx HD.
Am curious if a phone would work the same. So at leats in my area....Verizon and AT&T are about even.
2. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
AT&T will be last for sometime because they won't get 1x Advance LTE up and running before 2017, while Sprint, and Verizon will have their LTE 1x Advance network complete.
Come 2014 Sprint will be on par with Verizon, and if they keep unlimited data can catch up!
7. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Wow, seriously? Sprint has very little usable LTE available to consumers and is still the slowest data network out there.
8. FranksGT (Posts: 167; Member since: 29 Aug 2012)
Your a idiot plan and simple. AT&T already has better LTE then verizon. SPRINT DATA sucks!!!!
14. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Yeah, Qwikstrike is just being a troll along the same lines as G-King and Mxy.
29. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Networkdood you know that I never troll. You are just a big mouth idiot, and from the past you should know that I always speak from a factual point of view.
Also having a smaller LTE network has nothing to do with them sucking. I was on AT&T when they bought out Cellular one who bought out mobile one, and I left for Sprint because of all of he dropped calls when Sprint 1st opened the doors.
Based on my sisters iPhone always dropping it must still suck with dropped calls. rofl
40. PhoneG33k (Posts: 6; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Actually Cellular One was bought out by Airtouch which was one of many companies that merged together to for the Verizon Wireless powerhouse. Cellular One = Verizon... Get your facts together. And as far as AT&T having the fastest LTE is because they haven't even reached 15% LTE smartphone ratio whereas Verizon is almost at the 50% mark. To keep comparisons fair, compare Verizons LTE and ATT LTE at launch on an uncrowded network. Now those are facts
44. letgomyeggroll (Posts: 138; Member since: 13 Jun 2012)
Wrong, Cellular was brought out by ATT. And Airtouch was taken from Verizon. Airtouch was mainly in the East Coast and Midwest. In which where Verizon originally came from. I remember all this when shortly after the take over of Cellular One, it when with GSM.
49. xmusicianguy (Posts: 96; Member since: 13 Jul 2011)
In my rural area. Back in the mid 90's Cellular One was also CDMA. My mother had a CDMA Analog Nokia. Cellular One then became (via a buyout or "merger") Verizon owned. GSM and TDMA and other networks. Even (now outdated) iDEN was all late in coming here. So that is how I know. It's possible Cellular One had holdings in CDMA AND GSM networks.
50. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
last stats I saw on LTE use with verizon placed about 5 million customers using LTE. Versus nearly 100 million customers on their network, that's only like 5%. They may be selling ha of all their current phones they're selling as LTE devices, but one out of 10 of those devices are actually connected to LTE. So everybody's got a lot of work to do in the LTE department, even Verizon. And giving them a pass isnt really fair because they were first out the door. Yes, they have the biggest LTE network too, but when you compare their growth of their LTE network vs AT&T and Sprint at the times they launched their LTE networks, its about the same or even slower.
57. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
You come with a flawed fact Phoneg33k just as some of these idiot posters in this thread like "networkfool". Here's a little Cellular history posted from wikipedia..
AT&T Wireless began in 1987 as McCaw Cellular Communications, Inc.., a cellular telephone pioneer in the United States. Savvy licensing of cellular spectrum in the early 1980s put McCaw Cellular in an extremely strong position, quickly outpacing the growth of the "Baby Bells" in the emerging market. The company purchased MCI Communications's mobile businesses in 1986, followed by LIN Broadcasting in 1989, giving them widespread access in all of the major US markets. Partnering with AT&T as a technology provider, McCaw introduced their "Cellular One" service in 1990, the first truly national cellular system. AT&T purchased 33% of the company in 1992, and arranged a merger in 1994 that made Craig McCaw one of AT&T's largest shareholders. In 2002, the company was spun off from AT&T to become AT&T Wireless Services
Since I had cellular service when some of you were wiping your snot noses get your facts straight.
28. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
You're an idiot AT&T has more LTE data now but in the future they have to solve how to get 1xAdvnace to work with their 700mhz signal, and a fool calling some one else dumb with backward flawed facts go figure
34. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
Ok please explain how AT&T has more LTE data than Verizon? I really wanna hear this, b/c Verizon covers 4x the markets that AT&T does, and by AT&T's own admission, they are around 2 years behind Verizon in LTE rollout. I gotta hear this.
38. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
You are also an idiot...follow the post then make a comment. I was referring to AT&T having more LTE than Sprint as posted to a comment to me by Networkdood fool....wake up read then post o.k.
41. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
You cheapen your posts by resorting to insulting people qwik. Looking back at it closer I see what you are saying and my comment should have been more directed at FranksGT. Better LTE than Verizon? Yeah, no.
You must have anger issues or something dood. Name calling on a mobile phone forum? Is that really necessary?
63. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
yEAH, QUik, can be somewhat intelligent but then he turns into a 'HYDE', or a 'Jekyll'....
AT&T, when you combine HSPA+ and 4G LTE, has better coverage of '4G' networks than Verizon. With Verizon, not all 4G LTE areas are fast speeds and if that fails hello slow 3G CDMA - with AT&T from 4G LTE you get speedy HSPA+.
68. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1130; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)
Some what intelligent....rofl you would hope to have the unbiased intelligence that I have backed by facts not BS like most of your biased post.....you are a joke leading jokers, and you think that you are way smarter than you really are!
51. xmusicianguy (Posts: 96; Member since: 13 Jul 2011)
AT&T doens't have more. Their claims are based on their HSDPA+ AND LTE 700MHz network. Verizon is basing theirs on LTE alone.
74. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Whats interesting about that.....I feel HSDPA+ would be fine for many . I barely see over 25-30Mbps down on Verizon in good to great reception areas.
3. mydi.maus (unregistered)
at&t..put a smile on your face dont be like that;;)
4. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
What are the rankings based on? Let's see what verizon's done: still only one 4G technology, still no simultaneous voice/text/data on the same network, they raised their prices and are forcing their customers onto the Share Everything plans which have unlimited minutes that few customers need, don't let their customers keep grandfathered features with upgrades, and still have goofy billing issues and fees they keep getting sued over, and still have to buy a special version of a phone for ot to work outside the U.S.. So is Verizon highly scored (I.e. 70% versus others' 50%), it just the least-lowest scored (50% versus others' 40%)?
Oh wait, consumer reports, I forgot how little actual knowledge and authority they have. Though they were accurate on the prior iphone; even blind squirrels find nuts.
10. kaoticbpr (Posts: 2; Member since: 07 Sep 2012)
I agree with -box- , Where do they get their data for these reports anyway? It depends on where they live, I work for at&t and live in Georgia, At&t has the best service here except for some rural areas. I dont work for corp, but for a small retailer - we sit down with our customers, show them how to use their phone, monitor their data use, and we make sure they are put on the best plan for their situation. We don't take away your grandfathered features or plans when you sign a new contract. A Verizon store is two doors down from me, and their customers come into my store saying they are rude, expensive, and down talking other small businesses. So I welcome that. Yes i understand verizon is a giant, and has the best LTE coverage, but you are left in the dark when you go out of one of those LTE zones. Where At&t has HSPA+ to back you up if you fall out of one of their LTE zones. We receive extensive training monthly about new devices, features, and plans. These consumer reports can say whatever they want, because its always inaccurate data they're the ones that are not knowledgable, and its a small sample of what is truly the larger picture. not saying I'm bias but, Since I got a job for at&t I have found my career! I love this job, I love my customers, and I love my network!
17. JC557 (Posts: 1518; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
Wrong, it's up to the phone manufacturers to makes a simultaneous voice and data phone. HTC is one of the few to do so. Also, most phones on Verizon and Sprint are international roaming capable and both carriers will unlock the phones if your account is in good standing, no questions asked.
Prior to LTE, CDMA is actually more efficient and inherently more secure and many countries do make use of it. LTE remedies a lot of GSM's short comings. I'd suggest doing proper research on it. (This is going off on the special phones thing).
75. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
This is true. I dont know if it was GSM vs CDMA before....but now some phones on Verizon can talk n surf even on 3G. All LTE phones can do it over LTE.
26. Reluctant_Human (Posts: 886; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
Although I agree and hate the forced change to Share Everything when upgrading, you are absolutley wrong about everything else.
Verizon has simultaneous voice and data in all 4G devices but the iPhone. If you want your phone to work internationally then buy an international phone. Plain and simple. Personally I rather buy a crappy pre-paid when traveling through Europe anyway. International pricing for all US phone carriers is crazy expensive and not worth it or better yet buy a global phone and Verizon will unlock it for you.
All carriers have stupid billing issues. Not making an excuse for it just fact. Even though i've only had one billing issue with verizon in my 10+ years of service and they fixed it for me quick.
Plus being a Jersey resident during Sandy I appreciated all they did during the storm.
35. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
-box-, ALL carriers have billing issues they get sued over. That is nothing that is specific to Verizon. The Share Everything plans actually work for a lot of people. Maybe 10% of users, no more than 20%, actually use more than 2GB of data a month. They DO have simultaneous voice/text/data on the same network. The crappy Thunderbolt I had when it launched could do it, even on 3G, b/c HTC made it that way. It is up the OEM, NOT the carrier to make the phones capable of that.
Tis better to have people think you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
65. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
-box-, I will leave Verizon eventually, due to price - but on 4G LTE, you can talk and surf the web at once with a DROID RAZR.

Weird - AT&T has actually improved immensely...ah well, both carriers are expensive, but I have no billing or network issues with either one.
9. FranksGT (Posts: 167; Member since: 29 Aug 2012)
AT&T has some of the best service as far as I have seen between SPRINT and VERIZON, Way faster Data thats for sure.
11. oister85 (Posts: 493; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
I think att is the best one, they have hspa+ 4g lte a least in tampa they excellent coverage. The worst is print no for 4g very very poor 3g not acceptable

When I had AT&T, I never had any major issues with their service. Sprint on the other hand. Yeah, it's not pretty. But you pay for what you get I suppose.

Would love for T-Mobile to step up its game; become more reliable, dependable in usability. Sure, when near a tower their data streaming is good, but not always feasible or the case. Compared to maybe four years ago, voice quality has improved dramatically, and they offer some of the best prepaid packages in the industry. I still maintain one line with Verizon for traveling purposes; they are still the most reliable network in the contiguous United States, and of course overpriced.
15. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
I would love to go to another small company that piggy backs onto a major network - like that NET thing, but I am always leery of how well the data will be for me.

AT&T has no problems. Customer service rocks and their 4G speeds whether its HSPA+ or LTE are fantastic.
33. Reluctant_Human (Posts: 886; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
HSPA+ is not 4G don't care what anyone says. Its the same CDMA REV A (Verizon's CDMA network) which is considered 3.5G in most of the world.
66. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
HSPA+ is far better than 3G CDMA....in terms of speeds, and that has been proven in the past.

Seems like everyone has their own story on how their perspective carrier works. However, I think its important to remember that for every great review there can be an equally bad one. And everyone knows that these carriers are very far from perfect. But the question is which carrier has the least complaints, the least problems, and the best service overall. Verizon won because of that and not a single person's view. Next year it could be T-Mobile that wins who knows. But I think its clear that at least Verizon customers seem to be happier than others.

I can tell you Sprint sucks all the way around, voice sucks, signal sucks, the unusable unlimited data sucks!
23. Theblaxican (Posts: 9; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
I've been with AT&T for over a decade now and I haven't had any issues with them at all. If you pay your bill on time and stay within the limits of you plan you'll be just fine.
If you happen to live in an area where AT&T's coverage is subpar then that's a different story. However, all carriers have spotty coverage in certain areas - some just have more than others.

same goes last year..
30. CliffordVII (Posts: 3; Member since: 06 Nov 2012)
In my humble opinion AT&T is doing well for me or at least here in the bay area CA. I also get $20 off or 15% off since like 2006 so maybe I'm a little bias. (-_-)_b
32. davidtb (Posts: 23; Member since: 03 Aug 2012)
IN upstate NY, Verizon is better service, for 2g, heck, friends boast they get Verizon in tunnels underground. BUT Verizon costs, ala carte pricing, AT&T isn't far behind. The taxes and fees are a killer. And 4g, at this stage is a battery grinder. I'm going to backdoor month to month for a while until they catch on to it.

The gov't has taxed and feed wireless service hardcore the last couple years as it has exploded in adoption by consumers. They know they can get away with it b/c we will complain but still keep paying it.
36. KickRocks (Posts: 166; Member since: 22 Mar 2011)
I know I'm a newbie to att but I made the switch from sprint 3 days ago and it's nice to be able to use a 4G lte phone on a network that supports Lte. I have no complaints with att, so far. It is simply better than sprint.
39. nwright94 (unregistered)
I switched to Verizon in October from AT&T. I actually get dropped calls now. Lte is fast, but this dropped calls thing is ridiculous. It may just be Pittsburgh is a bad area, but I don't find verizon the best around here.
42. mike2959 (Posts: 538; Member since: 08 Oct 2011)
I travel throughout Northern Cleveland Ohio to Pittsburgh PA and I have had all 4 major carriers in the last 5 years, with AT&T my current carrier. As far as voice goes its a tie between Verizon and AT&T, then Sprint then T-Mobile. As far as data goes nothing is close to AT&T. It's beyond fast. Now the argument is HSPA+ 4G or not, who really cares what's it called because Verizons 3G isn't even close. About 1-2GB download on Verizon, 5-8 on AT&T...Call it whatever you want. On LTE its closer but again in my location and experience AT&T is faster. T-Mobile is quick in metro areas, and Sprint 3G is just horrible. Again based on my locations and experience.
48. nwright94 (unregistered)
I live just south of Pittsburgh in monongahela and AT&T is the best hands down, but it's so sad to see people still won't switch because they're still hung up on the dropped call thing from years ago.
56. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
Keep in mind though that the 4G LTE adoption rate with AT&T isn't as high as Verizon's. I bet the speeds with LTE will be quite close to each other once the adoption rate equalizes. The more devices using the service, the slower it will get, little by little. Based on adoption rates, AT&T's LTE should be somewhat faster due to less traffic overall, imo.
45. MorePhonesThanNeeded (Posts: 645; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
Lots of dumb comments in here, VZW does have VoLTE capable phones the Droid Razr HD does it, it's all up to the OEM when they put in their chipsets and I believe that phones sporting Qualcomm S4/Pro chipsets do VoLTE. Verizon is expensive, but no mmore expensive than AT&T. Verizon actually has a very well built network and backup systems. My younger sister works for these guys and she is going on a tour of their back up facility, the one that will even allow the network to stay connected during bad storms like Sandy. A building with nothing but battery nests connected to even more battery nests to keep their network rolling, why you pay more on VZW as opposed to T-Mobile well they try to ensure you are always connected.
VZW did get a bit slow during the storm, and for the first time in my 6 years of service I dropped a call. Yes it was a shock to me, but it was due to the storm knocking out power and such.
I don't like VZW for their removing of Unlimited, but no fear it will be back, once these slow to change networks get up to par and start challenging VZW. Get your acts together and give these guys competition, it's the only thing that makes the corporate jerks at VZW change things to appease us.
46. Omarc07 (Posts: 426; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Like always it depends were one lives I have att over here were I live in Puerto Rico att is the only carrier that has coverage in all the island I never drop calls i also been to NY, LA and san Fran and I never really had a problem with dropped calls I think att has improved a lot I admit in 2008 it was horrible I was ready to switch to Verizon . But stayed with att my sister has t-mobile and sprint and she has had more problems with dropped calls and coverage on T-Mobile and sprint especially sprint it's much worse than T-Mobile I think sprint should be rated worse carrier out there cuz like many people on here have said sprint has Slooow data and horrible reception..
53. cdgoin (Posts: 533; Member since: 28 Jul 2010)
Personally I find the HSPDA+ 4G from T-mobile to be faster than my friends Verison or AT&T LTE...
54. switza93 (Posts: 19; Member since: 26 Nov 2012)
Ive had AT&T for 10 years, ever since they were Cingular, and there service has been improving. There service in California nears Sacramento and there service in Maryland near Ocean City has great coverage. Ive traveled all across the U.S and my AT&T phone has held up much better than my verizon phone. My verizon phone is a Droid DNA and my AT&T phone is an HTC One X+
55. Twisted247 (Posts: 282; Member since: 12 Oct 2012)
I would agree with this report in regards to AT&T, those bastards are horrible. I had them a little over a decade ago and not only was it increasingly difficult to get things done with them even if it was their mistake. You damn near had to threaten lives to get simple tasks accomplished. And I currently have family members still on their service. They are constantly sneaking in charges that don't even apply and can't be by mistake they are simply just trying to get extra cash.(Something they have already been caught and hit for by the FCC) And their staff in my area atleast are just weak. They apparently require no knowledge of the mobile world what so ever to work there. To top it off their customer service is HORRIBLE over the phone at times. I had a customer service rep hang up on me the other day with me being calm and her being the one getting rude and loud. Which ended up in a $50 credit and free months worth of LTE data on my family members account for this rude unprofessional womans move.
The ONLY thing they have going for them is their data speeds. Their cell coverage blows my father travels for business and constantly cannot get reception or is constantly dropping calls.

I had Verizon before and was unhappy. I switched to AT&T and am much happier now. True story
59. mike2959 (Posts: 538; Member since: 08 Oct 2011)
Ok, don't beat me up for this but at one time.... 3 years ago AT&T was the only carrier with the IPhone, and it was 75% of AT&T phone sales. Now knowing what is fact about the IPhone the death grip, if 75% of the phone sales is from a phone that's not really good in the reception part of being a phone, the general public (not us) will normally blame the carrier.

5 Terrifying Things Movies Don't Tell You About Los Angeles
#5. The Dystopian Advertising
Combine rabid capitalism, a booming industry that doesn't just breed, but actually requires superficiality, and the kind of criminal apathy usually only seen in science fiction dystopias, and you get something like the advertising in Los Angeles. I'm not talking about the staggering size, number and complexity of billboards (though that does start to feel a bit like the sunglasses scene in They Live); it's the actual subjects of the advertisements themselves that are so unsettling. I was signed up for Groupon up in Portland, where I moved from, and I would routinely get coupons for shit I could use, like 2-for-1 go-kart racing or discounted midnight admission to the grilled cheese and whiskey buffet. I updated my address when I got down here to L.A., and now my inbox is cluttered with coupons for hyper-acid skin melts and probiotic shark stem cell facials. I actually clicked on them at first, thinking they'd finally added a supervillainy box to the "check your interests" section.
But no: Instead of shady lawyers and the U.S. Army, every bus down here is covered in ads for the hottest new plastic surgery procedure. Major operations have product launches and advertising campaigns, like slicing your own face open is somehow on par with the new Call of Duty game or the return of the McRib. You'll see ads for Lap-Band surgery slapped up right next to Subway billboards, and advertisers don't spend money on this shit because it's not working. That means there's a market for it -- there's an entire demographic of consumers in this town who are willing to buy surgical operations on impulse. There's a guy sitting next to you on the highway, and he's looking at that same billboard for eyelid reversals that you're staring at in abject horror. But while you're thinking, "Truly, these are the end times spoken of in Revelations," all he's thinking is, "Fuck yes, I'll take a Turkey Chipotle Blast foot long and stomach-clamp combo."
#4. Retroactive Entitlement
Everybody in this town thinks that they're destined to be a star. That's the one true thing everyone already knows about LA: People only live here because they're in the midst of pursuing that beautiful, hopeful, occasionally sad and misguided dream of super-stardom. But hey, if you want to chase that Golden Ticket, strong-jawed extroverts, you go for it: That's nobody's business but yours and the food service industry's, five years from now.
But for every modest, grounded, talented aspiring actor, writer, singer, or director -- just paying their dues until (or if) they hit it big -- there are ten that are so confident in their inevitable uber-fame that they've already adopted the lifestyle. That's not just annoying, it's potentially disastrous: See, A-List celebrities are able to walk around all aloof and pampered like that because they have the money to hire an entourage that takes care of all the shit every human being has to do, but doesn't want to. People like Scarlett Johansson have dudes named T-Bro that pick up after their dogs, or throw things away in trash cans, or wipe down their toilet for them. And that's fine. Nobody's begrudging them that. We can all spend our money on whatever we want.
"... so I just hook up some brake lights on its ass, and this is street legal, right?" -- What I'm saving up for.
It only becomes a problem when you start living that lifestyle and you don't actually have the entourage of mercenary garbage men and professional poop-handlers, because you work at a fucking Jamba Juice. No matter how grand and culturally impactful your inevitable rise to stardom will be, you probably won't ever be able to hire a team of time-traveling yes-men to form your chrono-skipping retroactive entourage. So I'm truly sorry, but until your sex tape hits big, you're just going to have handle Chihuahua shit on occasion; it is science that's failing you here.
#3. The Teeth
Everybody on film has nice teeth, and that seem like one of the more benign pre-requisites of a film career. Actors have to look their best at all times, because that's what we, the audiences, demand of them. We don't question why the crack-addicted hobo in Action Aryan 2: Jawline of Justice has a perfect set of shining white choppers. He's an actor, and it's Hollywood.
But while you expect to encounter a celebrity or two with 10,000 dollar teeth out here, you forget that every aspiring actor has to share that same priority if they ever expect to make it. Perfect teeth are cosmetically attractive and physically healthy, sure, but that takes absolutely none of the terror out of the situation when you walk into a bar and everybody turns to smile at you with the same mouth.
Like this, but replace all the dialogue with the words "Facebook" and "Executive Producer."
The first time that happens, you're forced to conclude one of three things: Either the hallucinogens have finally turned on you, you've inadvertently opened the door to the Employee Replacement Room at Disneyland, or you've just walked into the spring cotillion for The Thousand Avatars of The Undying God.
The scars, imperfections, chips, breaks and asymmetry in our faces help to cement our visual identity. It might seem like a minor detail now, but giving a presentation to a roomful of people with perfectly identical cubes of gleaming enamel all up in their grills is like having dinner with identical quintuplets. You know, objectively, that it's not their fault you're so creeped out, but that doesn't mean they're not planning on eating you.

Pumpkin Bread with Dark Chocolate and Walnuts
Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes (15 minutes active)
Servings: 2 loaves, 16 slices
4 eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
15-ounce can pureed pumpkin
1 1/4 cups walnut oil (not toasted)
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 generous teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon ground dry ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups dark chocolate chips
2 cups lightly toasted walnuts, plus more for decorating the top
1 cup dried cranberries (optional)
Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat 2 standard loaf pans with baking spray. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, both sugars, pumpkin and oil until smooth. In a second bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ginger and nutmeg. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips, walnuts and cranberries, if using. Fill each of the prepared loaf pans about three-quarters full with batter. Drop each on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Sprinkle additional walnuts over the top of each loaf, using your hand to gently press them into the batter. Place the pans on a baking sheet to make it easier to pull out of the hot oven. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center of each loaf comes out clean. Let cool for at least 1 hour before slicing into thick chunks.

1 large egg, lightly beaten or 1/4 cup egg substitute
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 8-inch-square baking dish. Layer 1/2 potatoes, 1/2 onion, 1/2 bacon and 1/2 cheese in prepared baking dish; repeat layers. Combine evaporated milk, egg and seasoned salt in small bowl. Pour evenly over potato mixture; cover. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Uncover; bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Zucchini Cheddar Muffins
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed shredded zucchini
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Heat the oven to 400 F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or coat with baking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk, then whisk in the melted butter. Gently fold the liquid mixture into the dry mixture, then fold in the zucchini and cheddar just enough to incorporate. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before turning out on a rack to cool completely.
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, frozen
1/2 cup raisins (or dried currants)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large egg
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins. In a separate bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth. Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Press the dough against the bowl into a ball. Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature. Source: allrecipes.com

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Heat the oven to 400 F. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, stir together the mayonnaise, soup, milk, pepper, salt, thyme and garlic powder.

Kerplunk Spaghetti
My kids love buttered noodles. I found this, so I figured we could dress up our noodles with hot dogs. They had so much fun helping me get them ready. All you do is poke uncooked noodles into sliced hotdogs, and then boil them as you normally would! Enjoy! -- Caiti Mondragon
Apricot chicken
1 1/2 pounds apricots, roughly chopped, pits removed and discarded
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
2 pounds skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 to 2-inch pieces
1 Tbsp unsalted butter (can sub olive oil)
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 chopped onion
2 cups chicken stock or broth (use gluten-free stock if you are cooking gluten-free)
1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons Tabasco or other hot sauce (you can add more if you like)
Black pepper
Place the chopped apricots in a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and the vinegar. Let sit. In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, place chicken pieces in the pan, without crowding the pan, and brown them on each side. As the chicken cooks, sprinkle salt over it. Once the chicken is browned, remove the pieces from the pan to a bowl and set aside. Add the remaining oil to the pan and sauté the onion until it begins to brown. As the onion cooks and releases moisture, use a flat edged spatula or wooden spoon to scrape off the browned bits from the chicken (called fond) from the bottom of the pan. Once the onions have browned a bit, add the chicken stock and lower the heat to medium. Put about 2/3 of the apricots, along with any juice they have given up, into a blender and blend into a purée. Pour the purée into the pan with the chicken stock and onions. Add the cinnamon, rosemary and Tabasco and taste. You may need to add some salt. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and gently simmer for 10-20 minutes. When you are ready to serve, put the chicken and the remaining apricot pieces into the pan and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Serve hot with rice. Source: simplyrecipes.com

JAMESTOWN – Dustin J. Saunders, 24, of Jamestown is being held on second-degree burglary and fourth-degree criminal mischief charges as a result of his arrest inside of the home of a Dearing Avenue woman.
Police were called with a report of a man pounding on the woman's door in the first-block of Dearing. When they arrived, they said they found Saunders had kicked in the back door and the woman was screaming in terror.
He is held at the Jamestown jail.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart Still Have 'Trust Issues,' Says Source
Three months after Kristen Stewart's cheating scandal with director Rupert Sanders, the 22-year-old actress has found forgiveness from her boyfriend of three years, Robert Pattinson. But their repaired relationship is still a work in progress.
"There's still healing to do and trust issues," a friend tells PEOPLE in this week's issue, "but Kristen will do whatever it takes."
As for why Pattinson, 26, took her back, the answer is simple, says another source: "He never stopped loving her."
While the two have been busy doing separate promotional duty for Breaking Dawn Part 2, their much-anticipated red-carpet reunion is set to take place at the film's Nov. 12 premiere.
In the meantime, the two were spotted in L.A. early Friday morning, leaving a Prince show at Sayers Club in Hollywood.
Taking in with Stewart what was described as a very intimate performance by Prince at the 200-person venue (which itself is like a living room), Pattinson certainly seemed to be enjoying himself – and seemed very much at home.
He and Stewart were both the first to arrive and the last to leave, having stayed long after the performance ended, sipping beers with friends.
During the show, "He was behind her – holding her around her hips," an onlooker told PEOPLE. "They were sweetly affectionate and tender. They stood the entire show and loved every second."
The two weren't "hiding from anyone," the onlooker added. "They seemed very comfortable."
Not far from them were Chris Evans and Minka Kelly, who were equally affectionate. Also there: Jeremy Piven, hanging close to Sophia Bush, as well as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Petra Murgatroyd, Val Chmerkovskiy, Jenny McCarthy and Mark Foster.

Good Product By Bill on 9/9/2016Bill would recommend this product to a friendI first purchased the Deluxe version of this reactor and it works very well. I opted to save a few bucks this time around and wasn't disappointed. The cap is a little more sturdy in the deluxe version but this has plenty of strength and I'm not worried about anything breaking. It's easy to use and change out filter media. If you're looking for a GFO reactor, carbon or both, this is a good buy.
reactor By bill on 8/21/2016bill wouldn't recommend this product to a friendi bought two they work great, i would have giving it a five but one of the 90 fittings leak's at the swivel. my stops when pointed down.
Works great By Gary on 7/1/2016Gary would recommend this product to a friendRunning GFO & Carbon, seems to be working great.
functions great. By Adam on 6/24/2016Adam would recommend this product to a friendworks like a champ. just had to get a few mur-lok 1/2' threaded fittings and a couple stem elbows to make it much easier to plumb the two reactors I purchased into my manifold just past the 1/2' gate valves. also the canister color was much darker blue than expected, but it's a reactor and I can still check the media for tumbling.
Good By Nick on 5/10/2016Nick would recommend this product to a friendWorked better than expected; I just wished I paid more attention to the description of the upgraded version.... I thought it was just a nicer color but nope; I have it as an HOB from Display Tank, the extra elbows would have come in handy, soooo, I ended up buying more from BRS
work's great, well made By Inajam on 4/6/2016Inajam would recommend this product to a friendI purchased 2 of these reactors, 1 for GFO and the other for carbon. Came with all the fittings needed. I purchased 2 additional ball valves so once flow is adjusted i don't need to touch them to change media, i just shut off the additional valve i installed before the flow valves.
Works Great By RudyEnt on 3/30/2016RudyEnt would recommend this product to a friendI had one that I use with carbon and GFO and then purchased another one for bio-pellets. They work great. I have not had any issues with either one and they are working perfectly. I like the fact that they can be used for different media. Since I started to use them my water has never looked clearer.
Phosphates finally gone By Mike on 3/17/2016Mike would recommend this product to a friendWas struggling with a phosphate issue since the start of my tank. Tried running several types of media simply placed in filter bags in the sump with no luck. Phosphates always stuck around 0.5 to 1.
Once I implemented the reactor my phosphates dropped within a few days. At this point I can't really tell if there is any color change on any of my test kits. Reactor took all of about 15-20 minutes to fill, mount and get running.
Great product By Danny on 3/10/2016Danny would recommend this product to a friendThis reactor was very easy to stall and came with everything needed to hook it up other than the media. Works perfectly and already seeing the advantages of it.
Great performance, terrible design By Jason on 2/28/2016Jason would recommend this product to a friendI had to give this reactor only two stars because the hose connectors leaked horribly! No, this is not the first time I have used these connectors (we have a RO/DI system from BRS and love it) and YES, they were pushed in all the way. Pushing the hoses in completely did not help. Plumber's tape did not help. The leaks were finally solved when we bought vinyl tubing (same diameter) and combined it with plumbers tape. When we called customer service, the person we talked to acted like they didn't believe us- that we were trying to get away with something and that the hoses and connectors couldn't possibly leak...
Since buying the tape, vinyl tubing and stopping the leaks, the system has worked great- the water is more clear and our corals are vibrant.

Take a minute out of your day to learn about all the killer new features on your Windows Phone. Trust me, you'll be glad you did
Oops, something didn't work.
Please don't confuse the viewers, Windows Phone doesn't have multitasking, it has fast app switching which is way different. i.e. you can't have RunKeeper tracking your route in the background while you are using Foursquare. You can't have a sound recorder active while you go use the calculator and so on and so on.
@mdonatas: I will clarify. WP does have multi-tasking, just not necessarily FULL multi-tasking. Some apps, like music playing apps, can continue to run in the background. But, most apps will actually be idle in the background, but ready to resume right where I left it when I switch back to it. Apps in the background can still update Live Tiles on the Start Screen, or receive push notifications.
Holding down the back button opens up access to the multitasking apps. They appear as thumbnails--I can swipe back and forth to see what's running and tap the app I want to open.
I think I found an issue (I will not call it bug) and would like
to report it to Microsoft. (Full of hope to get it fixed somnehow ;) )
But there seems to be no way to do it.
On http://connect.microsoft.com/ there is no chance to select
Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) .
Is there any other way to report it ?
I saw the title "back it on up" and I thought sweet I have been wondering how to backup of my WP7 on demand however I was sadly mistaken to find the topic was about using the hardware back button – sad.
yap!!! that what I thought

"Drew looks amazing," an onlooker tells PEOPLE of the pregnant star. "She and Will were incredibly sweet and friendly to everyone. It's refreshing to see a couple that is that much in love."
The two, who got married last month at her at her Montecito, Calif., home., stayed at the private two-bedroom Gene Autry House and indulged in laughter-filled meals, spa treatments and time by the pool.
Joined by another couple and a girlfriend of Barrymore's for much of the weekend, the mom-to-be, 37, stuck to healthy dining options, munching on a salad for breakfast at Norma's (even while helping herself to her friend's pancakes), then a salad with salmon for dinner at Mr. Parker's.
At the hotel spa, Barrymore and her pal spent an afternoon getting manicures, while Kopelman had a massage.

Updated: July 15, 2010
Louis Farrakhan delivered a virulently anti-Semitic address titled "Who Are the Real Children of Israel?" in Atlanta on Saturday, June 26, 2010.
Approximately 5,000 people attended the event at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center, during which Farrakhan gave a two-and-a-half-hour speech rife with conspiracy theories about Jews and Israel, and Jewish control of government, finance and entertainment.
The ostensible point of Farrakhan's speech was that Blacks, not Jews, are the "real" children of Israel. In crafting this argument, he downplayed historical Jewish suffering and denied that Jews have legitimate ties to the land of Israel. Apparently addressing Jews staking claim to the Holy Land, Farrakhan warned that the founding of Israel as a Jewish land will have serious repercussions. "You gonna pay for your error," he said.
Farrakhan also issued a word of caution to Blacks about what he described as widespread Jewish efforts to deceive them out of their claim to Israel: "the wickedly wise have known the truth and� they are working night and day to trick you out of the promise of God."
Some of Farrakhan's most offensive remarks centered on his claim that his life might be at stake as a result of the tough stance he took against Jews by delivering the speech. In doing so, he not only made accusations of Jewish world domination ("a lecture like this has put me in deep trouble with those forces that run this world"), but also advanced anti-Semitic charges of Jewish deicide: "I have never been more prepared in my life to do what it takes, even if it's the loss of my life, to free you. But I can tell you, they killed their last prophet when they killed Jesus."
During the speech, Farrakhan repeated many of his past accusations about Jewish involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and exploitation of Black labor in the cotton trade, which he argued has helped Jews stifle Black prosperity ever since. He charged that a deep-seated Jewish hatred of Blacks prompted Jews to forge ties with Southern whites upon immigrating to U.S., implying that this hatred has poisoned Black-Jewish relations ever since.
In addition, he promoted conspiratorial ideas about Jewish control over government, finance and entertainment. Jews, he asserted, have developed an evolving strategy for maintaining control over Black entertainers and athletes whereby Jewish businesspeople facilitate Blacks' success but continue to hold the reins. "They have always tied themselves to Black people," Farrakhan said. "They attach themselves to our talent. They are the managers, the agents and they are the accountants and that's why our black artists loved fame and got fame but died poor. Because somebody else got their money."
President Obama, according to Farrakhan, is the victim of a nefarious plot by influential Jews who have groomed him for success in an effort to deceive African Americans out of their claim to Israel. "He was nurtured by Jews who saw in him his brilliance," he said. "And they knew that as brilliant as he was, they could use him to trick black people away from the promise of God." He also asserted that Obama's unwillingness to "tow the Israeli line" has angered pro-Israel Jews and garnered him accusations of anti-Semitism.
Farrakhan also alleged, as he has in the past, that Black communities are being targeted for population control by "wickedly wise" scientists.
Attendees at the event included Malik Zulu Shabazz, national chairman of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP); Roberta Abdul-Salaam, Georgia House of Representatives; and several Atlanta-area clergy members and community leaders. Abdul-Salaam described Farrakhan's speech as "eye-opening" in an interview afterwards, adding that "the Minister did an excellent job of giving us an education," according to the NOI.
Several representatives from Concerned Black Clergy (CBC) of Metropolitan Atlanta spoke before Farrakhan took the stage, according to the NOI. The NOI reported that in response to Farrakhan's speech, CBC president Reverend Dr. Richard Cobble lauded "the real truth" contained in the anti-Semitic books Farrakhan had touted throughout his speech (in addition, Cobble apparently indicated that his organization would purchase the books).
Reverend Dr. Barbara King, also of Atlanta, described Farrakhan's message as "powerful� the kind of message we have to bring to our people," according to the NOI.
Two weeks later, Farrakhan delivered an equally anti-Semitic follow-up address at the NOI's headquarters in Chicago. During the July 11 speech, Farrakhan attempted to "prove" his earlier argument that Jews have no legitimate claim to the land of Israel. He also repeated many of the same accusations about Jewish control and again blamed Jews for problems facing African Americans.
Farrakhan's latest speeches are the most recent in a series of highly offensive addresses he has delivered in the last year, including his

On the 2008 Presidential Election
|Email Print
Last night was a historic night.
However, it's historic not just because Barack Obama, the first African American nominee of a major political party, was elected President, thought that certainly was historic, or because the margin of victory was so great, there have been bigger.
It was because we saw what hard work and dedication in America can accomplish. So many people, my parents included, come to America seeking a better life for themselves and their children. My dad bought a one way ticket from Taiwan to the United States to go to college. He could have stayed in Taiwan and been quite comfortable. He could speak his native tongue, live where he grew up, worked with people he's known his entire life, but this was America. The land of opportunity.
Many people point to Barack Obama's achievements as inspiration that the American dream is still alive, to which I cannot disagree. However, I argue that John McCain's ascension to the Republican Presidential nominee is equally impressive. Age discrimination is very real in this country, though less offensive to many for a variety of reasons, and we were not far from electing the oldest President of the United States. John McCain was a tireless public servant, a hard working American, and no one can doubt his patriotism – and he was rewarded with the Republican nomination. It did upset me to see him upset last night, you almost never want to see someone of his caliber of character see defeat in that way (McCain's brief bio on Wikipedia).
Barack Obama's story is pretty well known (Wikipedia has a quick recap of that) so I won't rehash it but the fact that he was the Democratic nominee is also impressive. I thought his acceptance speech was clear – this was only the chance to begin the work, not the work itself. It contained all the usual political stuff but I thought the story about Ann Nixon Cooper was very touching. You can read the transcript of the speech here and listen to it here (I'm sure video will be available later if you search for it).
Hard work still pays off in America, that was something we lost faith in for the last few years. Now it's time to build on it.{ 21 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Doesn't sound like Stuart wants to come back, but if he can be had, we should sign them both.
I don't think that is true... He has always said he wants to come back just the big family issue back in cali might force him to move back closer to home... There is no doubt Stuart would re-sign with the wings if he got the "OK" from his family, which sadly I don't think will happen
Posted 27 March 2012 - 07:25 PM
Posted 27 March 2012 - 07:43 PM
I don't think it's really a question of Stuart or Quincey. From what I've heard Holland is definitely sticking with Quincey for the next few years. So it really just comes down to what Lidstrom does, and how much space we have. If Lidstrom does play for one more year (please hockey Gods let it happen), we still have a chance to sign Stuart, but we might not be able to overpay for him. If that happens let's just hope his desire to win more Stanley cups outweighs spending a few more months with his family for just a few more seasons.

Quincey, on the other hand -- that's sort of why he was brought back in, no? To soften the blow of the (seemingly inevitable) loss of Stuart?

So, it's been an interesting season so far, and I've been keeping up with it by watching live games on NHL Gamecenter through my TV on my PS3(which I have to say is a fantastic service), and then watching the highlights of the games that I don't manage to catch live (most games start at midnight/1am here, so it's not always convenient to stay up and watch). At times we've been very frustrating, and at others we've been playing some brilliant stuff, but I feel that there is most definitely inconsistency. It's a shame we didn't beat the Preds yesterday too, because the Wings were by far the better team. But there's no use dwelling on the previous games, because you can only beat what's in front of you! So hopefully we win three out of the next four games and take the series. My favourite player is Justin Abdelkader, too .
I hope to get on here as often as I can and talk some hockey (and perhaps other sports) with you guys . It'll hopefully be a good learning curve for me being on here, and will help me to gain a lot more knowledge about the sport of ice hockey and the Wings in particular. From what I've seen so far, it looks like a great community. LET'S GO RED WINGS!
OT: Apologies if I posted this in the wrong section; but I didn't know where else to post an intro thread .
