Buffalo Baked Potatoes Recipe
Since we are all big potato fans here, I decided to try this on our baked potatoes! These were delicious!
Here's the recipe:
4 baking potatoes
Aluminium foil
Hot sauce of choice I am sure you have a favorite? We love them all!
3 tablespoons of melted butter
garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 bottle of ranch or blue cheese dressing, or sour cream
Optional: shredded cheddar cheese and bacon bits, jalepeno's, olives.
First slice potatoes in a fan shaped slices without cutting through the potatoes. Place a small piece of foil big enough to wrap around each potato on a cutting board. Place potato on foil. Brush the tops of each potato with melted butter. Sprinkle with a little garlic powder. Pour a generous amount of buffalo sauce over the potato, add a few tablespoons of dressing of choice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap tightly and bake in the oven for around 1 hour on 400 degree hot oven.
Note: (if your in a hurry you can microwave the potatoes for around 5 minutes uncut first) they will be cooked in around 1/2 hour less time.
Options: You can add more dressing after they are cooked to your taste. If using cheese and bacon, add 5 minutes before the potato is cooked, open foil add the cheese, rewrap for those last few minutes to melt the cheese.

I have also been wondering this. The text certainly seems to imply that he could have popped other types of heavy units before, but chose not to since they wouldn't be able to leave the city. Also, whatever the other unit types may be most likely can't fly or go through tunnels, obviously. I'm personally hoping we get to find out soon. And I hope they are something cool like hydras or giant jackalopes or something. (Also, I hope Sizemore can make lava golems now that they have a lava lake. )
A couple other things I have been wondering that I hope will be cleared up, despite how minor they may be:
1. Does Parson know that he was called a hippiemancer?
2. Were any of the healers decrypted and can they still heal? (also, were any gumps decrypted frome one of the out-of-city zones? Because I think that would be awesome. )
3. Since the only gobwins/hobgobwins that seemed to survive the eruption were one or two that were with Stanley, will he bother to uphold their alliance?

Ponder and pressure
I'm a big statistically-oriented, analysis-driven individual with baseball so naturally, when it comes to football, I also gravitate towards the data that goes beyond the boxscore. That's why Football Outsiders, a sister site of Baseball Prospectus, is one of my favorite websites - it breaks down stuff that is deeper than what you find at your standard Fantasy Football coverage.
Football Outsiders' Danny Tuccitto recent posted an analysis that involved the performance of quarterbacks in 2011 based on when they were pressured by the opposing defense. Tuccitto uses Football Outsiders' Defense-adjust Value Over Replacement (DVOR), a stat not too different from BP's VORP, to assess how the QBs performed in those pressured circumstances.
The first thing of note was that, overall, the Vikings' Christian Ponder was the 11th-most pressured quarterback in the NFL last year. in 26.4% of his dropbacks, Ponder was pressured by the defense. For those who watched the team and their offensive line who seemingly allowed defenses to seep through like crap through Depends of a senior after the nursing home's chili night, this should come as no surprise. Actually, to me, it felt like he was CONSTANTLY under duress and the fact that ten more quarterbacks had more action is a bit enlightening. The Texans gave Matt Schaub very little protection and allowed him to be pressured a league-high 33.3% of the time.
Here's the interesting aspect of the data that Tuccitto shares: According to his research, Ponder's performance in those pressure situations ranked 21st (-95.0% DVOA). This is a bad but not terrible performance, especially for a rookie with a shoddy offensive line and lack of a big-bodied receiver to help rescue him when he is in trouble. More concerning, perhaps, is that comparison of Ponder's non-pressure situation performance. The research says that when he doesn't have a lineman or blitzing corner in his face, Ponder ranked 33 out of the 34 quarterbacks (-1.6% DVOA).
This will undoubtedly serve as fodder for Ponder haters -- particularly his performance in non-pressure situations -- but we should keep in mind that he's had a poor offensive line and lacked a high quality receiver beyond Percy Harvin (who's stature likely makes him a less ideal target during pressure situations).
This is nice as a measure of the past, but holds next to no significance for the future. As you said, his targets and protection have improved. This has nothing to do with Ponder's performance from a improvement/stagnation/decline perspective, but it will certainly change the 2012 outcome prospects. This is why it's quite problematic to develop legitimate advanced metrics in football. NFL football is a head coach's chess match with tactical adjustments and schematic strategies. So trying to measure something comparable to VORP for a player is largely a waste of everyone's time. Many times it doesn't matter how talented a player is, it matters how well the player can be plugged into the 11-man system on a given side of the ball. It did not matter how good/bad Ponder played in 2011, it only mattered what he learned based on what he knows he can do well (speed, quick release, intuitive sense of pressure) and what he needs to improve upon (coverage recognition to prevent interceptions, offensive system learning curve, etc.). What is maddening about football to a sabermetric-minded baseball fan, is that the game is significantly more psychological. The more psychology that is involved, the higher the variance of outcomes, and the less useful advanced statistics can be.
Also, I'm of the belief that the truly good advanced metrics in football (like the NBA) did not make the same mistake as baseball. That data is being processed and interpreted by people employed by NFL/NCAA organizations. That leaves the bloggers with the noisy stuff like DVOR/DVOA. They didn't ignore the Bill James' for decades like baseball did. They listened to them and hired them before they got blogs going.
It is way too early to tell whether or not Christian Ponder will figure the game out at this level. It's nice to look at these numbers, but don't let anyone fool you into thinking these have any sort of predictive significance beyond noise.AKA: TMW

Many times it doesn't matter how talented a player is, it matters how well the player can be plugged into the 11-man system on a given side of the ball.
The key difference is a point made in Michael Lewis' article about Shane Battier and the Houston Rockets front office from 2009.
There is a tension, peculiar to basketball, between the interests of the team and the interests of the individual. The game continually tempts the people who play it to do things that are not in the interest of the group. On the baseball field, it would be hard for a player to sacrifice his team's interest for his own. Baseball is an individual sport masquerading as a team one: by doing what's best for himself, the player nearly always also does what is best for his team. "There is no way to selfishly get across home plate," as Morey puts it. "If instead of there being a lineup, I could muscle my way to the plate and hit every single time and damage the efficiency of the team — that would be the analogy. Manny Ramirez can't take at-bats away from David Ortiz. We had a point guard in Boston who refused to pass the ball to a certain guy." In football the coach has so much control over who gets the ball that selfishness winds up being self-defeating. The players most famous for being selfish — the Dallas Cowboys' wide receiver Terrell Owens, for instance — are usually not so much selfish as attention seeking. Their sins tend to occur off the field.
Remember when Aaron Kampman was one of the best pass rushers in the NFL? Then the Packers brought in Dom Capers to go from a 4-3 Tampa 2 style defense to a 3-4? Kampman all of the sudden made no impact as a pass rusher while Clay Matthews rose to become a superstar. Did Kampman just lose his abilities? That's not a satisfying explanation, he lost the system that allowed him to flourish statistically.
Or the fact that almost every single quarterback who worked with Bill Walsh was significantly better and more productive than when they weren't working with him. A more modern example would be the Packers seamless transition from Favre to Rodgers. Is it because Rodgers is just 'that good'? Maybe partially. But when you have a West Coast Offense headed by Mike McCarthy that is so locked in with every single member of the offense coupled with a talented receiver core, you have a myriad of outside factors that are going to make it easier for a quarterback to succeed. That's why when they could rest Rodgers, Matt Flynn could drop an easy 480 yards on a good defense like Detroit who was vying for playoff positioning. On the flip side, Jay Cutler has worked with a new offensive coordinator in all but one season. He's struggled to gain consistency, but it's extremely problematic to say it's because of his talents.
So again, I'd stick by my notion that these advanced metrics are a 'waste of everyone's time'. People miss the point with football. I'm not overly concerned with Ponder 'Figuring It Out' or what his DVOA or DVOR was or can be. It's more of a concern as to whether or not Bill Musgrave can play chess with the top NFL defensive coordinators and communicate his system to the offense so they can carry it out to its maximum efficiency. If he can, you could even just plug Sage in there.

I think Ponder has done a good job of avoiding mistakes, making better decisions, and carrying out the game plan, but he has been relatively lucky on defenders missing gift interceptions. He has gotten better, but not that much better. The biggest difference this year is the play-calling and the game-planning. When defenses are showing a run-stopping formation, Musgrave is getting the ball to Percy in the flat where the field's open and he can make the first guy miss. When defenses are planning for Percy or a passing down, Adrian is getting the ball against softer fronts. This team is not 4-1 because of Christian Ponder, it's because the play calling on offense and defense has significantly stepped up.
Frazier is also making some great calls on defense (particularly love the pass rushing 3 DE sets on 3rd downs, allowing more help in the zones from linebackers) and Musgrave is doing a great job breaking down the film and exploiting opponent weaknesses.AKA: TMW

Interesting discussion, I am not at all familiar with football metrics. From a casual perspective it looks like Ponder might have been scarred in his rookie year due to all the pressure and the concussion, and now is a little skiddish back there. Seems like every game there are a handful of plays where he abandons the pocket prematurely, often flushed to his left where he is pretty hopeless as a thrower.

One of the many problems with football and basketball statistics is that the opponent has finite resources to allocate as they see most efficient. A receiver who can't beat double coverage may produce worse statistics than an inferior player who is only drawing one defender. A power forward who guards the unskilled centers won't have as many points scored against him.
I'll put it this way: if LeBron James got the same attention from defenses as Wes Johnson does, what would his numbers look like? If the guy covering Calvin Johnson has no help all game, what would he be able to accomplish? These issues impact not only the statistics of that player, but everyone else in the game as well. The second guy covering Johnson opens things up for another player. The double that comes on James every time he steps towards the basket leaves shooters open all over the court.
In baseball, everyone sees essentially the same thing, tweaked to exploit that player's weakness.

super fast acceleration, nice handling, doesnt give up traction in faster paced single track at all, totally worth the money.
Comments about Maxxis Larsen TT 70A Compound Tire:
If you are looking for fast ride on hard pack, use this on F/R. Some may suggest to use front only but I like it on F/R. The way tires is designed, stopping is bit on the loose side but when you need a speed this is it. Side bites also bit loose but if you are like me like loose rear end, this will roll the corner good. As I use this as non tubeless with Stans, so far I have not had one issues at all.. tire pressure is something you need to play with it but I found about 42psi is for me. I have tried higher PSI and it was too harsh.This tires recommends 35-65 but 37-45psi is about the normal range. I have ridden between 35-39 but it was soft and I personally did not like it. I would recommend to adjust accordingly to the trail you ride..
Comments about Maxxis Larsen TT 70A Compound Tire:

Well, its roughly 3 months away. I've been looking forward to this since last years ended and I'm starting to get excited its around the corner again. I have no clue if Polk will have a room this year or not, but almost assuredly there will be a "Polkie Room" or two where any and all Polkies who make there way out there can hang out. I'm crashing there this time as the last two times I would've been better off doing so .
For those of you that haven't been, this is a pretty cool show that allows you to get your ears on some gear (about half of it is DIY) that you would never hear otherwise. Hang around Marvin and he'll get you into some hifi networking. I'm usually half-way gone by that point so it just doesn't work for me. For those of you that have been, I hope to see you guys again as that's about the only time I see any Polkies outside of a select few.

These stories highlight just a few of the two million CROP Walkers, volunteers, and sponsors that put their hearts and soles in motion to help end hunger and poverty around the world.
Why do people join in CROP Hunger Walk?
Monday, September 20, 2010
We asked our Facebook friends to tell us why they join in their community's CROP Hunger Walk. Here are some responses -- straight off our page.
Earlier this week we asked our Facebook friends to tell us one reason they CROP Hunger Walk. Here are a few responses.
Caitlet Drake Our family CROP Hunger Walks because we want to teach our boys about helping others and how everyone really can make a difference in the world...
Kathleen Simon Fortney Because my life has been so blessed, I feel that I should share what I have with others (plus, it's great exercise!).
Lynne Amsden Because no child should ever go to bed hungry and no parent should EVER worry about where their next meal is coming from !
Timothy E McHugh We CROP Hunger Walk because being hungry isn't a sign of personal failing and isn't a judgement of one's behavior. it is a preventable condition that more often than not requires that one person help another. We are meant to bear one another's burdens and help each other through times of suffering.
Tom Hampson Because it's a great way to make a difference both at home and around the world. We're gearing up for our CROP Hunger Walk in South Bend, IN, and vicinity next month. It's great to see the whole community come out.
Linda Fleagle Marcotte CROP Hunger Walk is a community, intergenerational walk that helps both at home and elsewhere. It gives us a positive way to help, build awareness and "walk because they walk".
Pamela S Ford For God's Glory!!!
Tiffany Carroll Whary To raise money with the hope that no one will go hungry!

The Holland/Zeeland CROP Hunger Walk has a tradition of inviting their walkers to bring along food items to the Walk for their local food ministries. As people register, the items are received by volunteers from those feeding programs. Mark Tucker, from Community Action House, and his crew load items into Gaylord boxes, then divide the food after the Walk according to each pantries needs. Usually three to four boxes of food are received and meet a big need in this community.Another enhancement targeted to instill the sense of community in the Holland/Zeeland CROP Hunger Walk is a large sign in banner that each person is asked to autograph under their church/organizations name. Nearly 1,000 people walked, and to see all their names written on this huge banner gives people an idea of the many people they walk alongside in their own community as well as the global community. Other enhancements to this year's Walk included the prayer ribbons Walkers were encouraged to create following registration that blow in the wind during the Walk; seed packets that were given to each Walker prior to the Walk which symbolized the efforts we share culminating in a bountiful harvest for those in need; and a $15.15 per Walker gift by a few donors in recognition of the 30th Anniversary of the Holland/Zeeland CROP Hunger Walk.

It's spring! That means CROP Hunger Walks are blooming across the country blossoms of hope in a landscape of hunger.
It's spring! That means CROP Hunger Walks are blooming across the country – blossoms of hope in a landscape of hunger.
The Blossomland CROP Hunger Walk of St. Joseph, Michigan, has been blooming for more than 25 years, reaching out to neighbors in need around the corner and around the world. Last year's Walk was Blossomland's best ever, as they topped the $50,000 mark in funds raised. Blossomland's 2010 event happened on May 16, and early indications are they may top 2009!
While the spring CROP Hunger Walk season will soon be coming to a close, plans for fall Walks are well underway. To find the CROP Hunger Walk in your area, please visit www.cropwalkonline.org.
If you are a CROP Hunger Walk coordinator and have additional details about your upcoming CROP Hunger Walk that you would like to have included on the Walk's page on our website, please send them to firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks!

From memories of hunger, a steadfast commitment to CWS
Thursday, May 20, 2010
Pearl Veronis walks because she knows something of hunger first hand.
"We did survive," Veronis recalled recently as she prepared for her 38th CROP Hunger Walk in Lancaster, Penn., and spoke of her experiences as a child during World War II in Greece, where she and her family knew the realities of hunger, starvation and deprivation.
By Chris HerlingerLancaster, PA – Pearl Veronis walks because she knows something of hunger first hand.
"We did survive," Veronis recalled recently as she prepared for her 38th CROP Hunger Walk in Lancaster, Penn., and spoke of her experiences as a child during World War II in Greece, where she and her family knew the realities of hunger, starvation and deprivation."My mother had to beg for food," Veronis said, recalling that her mother also put sheets over windows so her children would not wake during the day and ask for food.Luckily, her family – separated during the war, with her father in the United States – reunited in the US in 1945, when Veronis was 11 years old. She credits her mother's determination, grit and religious faith for the family's survival.But the memory of hunger still touches her – and is one of the reasons she and her husband, the Rev. Alexander Veronis, a Greek Orthodox priest, have been steadfast supporters and leaders of their CROP Hunger Walk in Lancaster. Alexander and Pearl Veronis have been serving the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church of Lancaster for almost 49 years.The Rev. Veronis has chaired the annual CROP Hunger Walk in Lancaster since the early 1970s – though it is clear in talking to the Veronises recently at the church that theirs has been a true partnership, a partnership that has helped raise nearly $4.2 million since 1973. "It's been a blessing for us to see how many persons have been helped through the Walks, locally and internationally," the Rev. Veronis said. That partnership has been recognized locally and nationally; Church World Service created "The Father Alexander and Pearl Veronis Hunger Fund," in honor of the couple.But it is still the work locally that matters. The Veronises are pleased that 25 percent of funds raised remain in local Lancaster-area food banks to stop hunger.They are also pleased that their five children, in-laws and grandchildren enthusiastically support the CROP Hunger Walk. In fact, CROP has been a foundation for the mission work and commitment of one of their children, the Rev. Luke Veronis, who recently became director of the newly established "Missions Institute of Orthodox Christianity" at the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, Mass.While the walks in Lancaster have shorted in length – earlier CROP Hunger Walks included 15- and 20-mile routes – Pearl Veronis said the commitment matters more than "the number of miles walked." CROP Hunger Walks in Lancaster attract between1,200 to 1,800 persons annually.
CWS works with partners to eradicate hunger and poverty and to promote peace and justice around the world.

'The guidelines on dressing for specific occasions should make choosing an outfit simpler, not more stressful,' says Marcy Brayko, style expert for women's apparel catalog Midnight Velvet 'Whatever you wear, be sure to add that unique touch that makes your look your own.'
To request a copy of the Midnight Velvet catalog, go to MidnightVelvet.com or call (800) 383-5283.
Office parties
Workplace holiday parties may call for a glamorous look and even some glimmer. However, you may want to give more consideration to appropriate hemline and neckline for that event than you would for a dancing-and-champagne New Year's Eve event with your partner.
'Just us girls'
A girls' night out takes the formality level way down but a little shimmer is still a great look. Jeans with gold metallic embroidery, rhinestones or other embellishments lend a bit of rock star glam to the evening. So does a shirt dressed up with beadwork when paired with black slacks - or even plain jeans.
Wedding bells
Weddings call for special attire but a number of variables determine just how formal: dress code (if the couple has set one), venue and whether it's a day or evening event. Evening weddings usually require a cocktail-length or floor-length dress. Whatever the dress code, it's a time to tone down the embellishments and jewelry, as it's the bride's day to shine.
Romantic celebrations
Whether Valentine's Day (or your anniversary) calls for your New Year's Eve bling or a more low-key dressy look depends on your plans and personal style. If you're wearing your sparkling for a romantic night out, add emotional warmth with a special piece of jewelry your partner gave you in the past.
If it's a 'dinner at the burger joint/bowling alley where we had our first date' celebration, why not inject some outrageous fun by wearing your most glamorous outfits?
If all of these events are in your immediate future, don't panic about your budget. 'A satin or beaded tank, for example, can be paired with anything from jeans to a floor skimming skirt,' Brayko says. 'A black dress can go anywhere, pairing with ballerina flats or shimmering gold heels. And the right piece of jewelry - especially a statement piece - can make all the difference.'
Whatever the occasion, there's one important element that makes your look work. Your confidence is the shining piece that pulls any outfit together.

Revision as of 00:33, 18 July 2013
A Hitchhiker is any item that moves from geocache to geocache. This item can be a fuzzy animal, a die-cast car, a coin, or anything else the originator could imagine.
The most common hitchhikers are travel bugs and geocoins trackable at Geocaching.com. However, there are other types of hitchhikers (including geocoins) that are trackable at other sites. Furthermore, hitchhikers do not need to be trackable at all: the most basic form is an item attached to a note that asks the finder to place it in another cache or to further some other goal.
According to the Geocoin FAQ and Travel Bug FAQ at Geocaching.com, the person who activates a hitchhiker remains its owner. Therefore, these hitchhikers are not considered trade items. They cannot be kept (because they remain the property of their owners, who released them to the wild), but they can be taken from a cache without leaving anything in exchange. Note that it is always acceptable to "trade up" by leaving a trade item when removing such a hitchhiker from a cache. Removing a hitchhiker does reduce the "interesting stuff" that the next person will find in the cache.
Other hitchhikers may be considered trade items. You are expected to trade fairly for such hitchhikers, and you then own them (until you give or trade them away).
Sites That Track Hitchhikers
- Geocaching.com
- TravelerTags.com
- Geokrety (a non-commercial TB alternative)
- Pathtags.com
- Geocoin.net (geocoin tracking)
- SigItem.com (signature item tracking)
- GPSgames.org treats hitchhikers the same as moving caches
There are also personal sites that track personal hitchhikers, such as Geofish.net (the digitalfish tracking site).

Siri down?
We're getting lots of mail and tweets from readers who say Siri is currently down for them, as in Apple's new artificially intelligent voice control system says it can't connect to the network. While Siri is in beta at the moment, and all online services have outages, that doesn't stop real users from being really annoyed when it happens.
Is Siri down for you? Are you being told Siri is having trouble connecting to the network? Are you on Wi-Fi or 3G, and if 3G, which carrier? Does restarting your iPhone 4S help?
Let us know if you're down, any fixes that work for you, and when it starts working again.
There are 147 comments. Add yours.
It has been down since this morning for me, both on wifi and AT&T 3G.
Hopefully apple is upgrading their servers as I have gotten the "can't connect" message quite a few times since the 4S launch.
Down in Chicago, AT&T
Yes I am having SIRIous issues! I absolutely live using Siri, as I work all day and live to text! Siri helps me do both simultaneously! But today her network is down! WhiteiPhone 4s on Verizon, on wifi and 3G tried both! Restarting didn't help! :(
Mine is down....hasn't worked in more thqan 20 minutes. Worked fine all weekend
Yes, has not worked for the last 20 minutes i've tried. On Verizon using 3G
Down for me via WIFI. Tried the disable/reboot/enable trick with no luck
I have this problem occasionally. Just close Siri, open up some arbitrary app foo and close foo, then retry siri and she should work.
Note: this was only with WiFi connected, this does not work with only a 3G connection.
It also has been down for me since this morning, regardless of me being on Wi-Fi or Sprint 3G network. I get the same error message as above.
I wasn't able to get on it last night, server not available.
Down since around 1030 EST on Verizon Wi-Fi & 3G
Same here and we're at Duke in NC except went down around 11AM
Down on 3G AT&T
Yes and with 4 million 4S sold what you think their network would do? Relax and take notes Siri is still a beast and will be alright
Down with AT&T 3G and wifi.. Soft and hard reset don't affect anything.
Sorry, (user). I don't understand what you mean by...
Would you like to do a web search?
Same here on AT&T and WiFi, "Sorry, I am having trouble connecting to network."
wonder if Siri is too busy contemplation the meaning of life?
My boss is pissed because he can't use Siri, he's thinking about going back to Android
Done. ATT on a wifi network. Followed the three steps recommended several times.
Yes, it's down for me on AT&T
mines down. 3G and Wifi on ATT. Tried restarting to no avail. Tried solution I found online (turn off siri then reset network settings then turn siri back on), didn't work either.
down for verizon customer, both wifi & 3g.
down for me - using 3G and WiFi - AT&T
Siri is down on Verizon for both 3G and WiFi at the moment it would seem.
It is 1230 pm EST and it is still down.
Down for me on Sprint since around 0800 CST.
Down here as well. Reset network settings now other thinks are jacked. Verizon 3G
Siri was sporadically down for me on Friday when i first got the phone. Today it is definitely down. I hope they are simply upgrading to handle the new influx of users. 25 million new users and the 4 million iPhone 4s users, I am sure they weren't prepared. There is no way to stress test a server for 25 million users...
Down in Toledo Ohio @ 12:30
Siri is down in Toronto Canada (Rogers 3G)
It's back and running again for me. I guess after selling 4 million iPhone 4S, everyone must be showing it off at work today
Lol i did exactly that all day, My co-workers loved it..
Looks like it's becoming a new "party app".
VZW - working great.
Works for me on Orange UK 3G network
Down all morning for me... on AT&T 3G or Wifi. Amazing that after just 2 1/2 days, I feel dependent on it already... lost without it!!! I sure hope the server is up and running soon!!
siri has been down for me since yesterday evening. I've tried all the suggested fixes (disable siri, reboot, reset network settings, etc.) and none of them have worked. It would be nice if Apple would acknowledge the problem.
Siri and voice recognition are both down for me with since 10:30-ish (verizon but on wifi).
Siri down in okc, both wifi and 3G. Tried restarting and it did nothing
yup, trying to show it off at work and it's failing miserably....
Siri just keeps repeating I can't help you at this time. It won't do voice/microphone texting either.
What's Siri?
are you serious?
He's not siri-ous..
Down in okc
Went down for me around 10:30 am. Still not working on att via wifi or 3G. Amazing how dependent on it I have become.
Hahah I know I feel helpless without her and it's only been a few days
Siri was down for me until I just disabled it and then enabled it .... I'm on AT&T both 3G and wifi
No more Siri. This sucks. Was just about to play with her. For all u iPhone 4 users, I heard an 18-year-old hacked into the Siri software and programed it to his iPhone 4 and it works.
Atlanta area. Down here for last hour. WiFi and 3G no go for Siri. Frustrating, but hopefully just temporary growing pains.
Yup. Was down for a while here in Chicago around 10:30AM on both 3G and WiFi. Seems to be back now.
Verizon Wi-Fi & 3G --- Getting "There is something's wrong. Can you please try that again".
It seems like the reported issues with iCloud and Siri indicate that Apple may not have enough data center capacity to cope with the crush of iOS 5 users. Take whatever side you wish on the Android iOS issue, its clear that Google's huge lead in building out its global infrastructure provides Google services with a very stable platform. That's not to say there aren't occasional issues with Gmail or other Google services, but they aren't related server capacity side issues.
Wow, jump the gun a bit? It's he service is less than a week old. Let's give it a little while for them to work the kinks out.
I'm not jumping to conclusions... no one knows the nature of any disruptions at this point. All I pointed out that running a tremendous cloud based operation is very resource intensive. Apple is at the beginning stages of doing this, but there are few companies with their technical expertise and deep pockets so they are obviously capable of building an amazing platform. But even the smartest and richest company will have a learning curve.
Meh, Apple's known for not testing out the extent of their technical ideas and how they might falter in the real world. They make nice aesthetics but at times their technical work could use better QA.
There's a reason why when Google releases a new beta service they release it in phases to public access rather than just dumping the whole thing out there at once.
it wasn't working for me and i turned it off and back on and it was fine. on AT&T in KC.
Give it a rest, Siri is sore from all the sex questions she has been asked and needs a break.
I just spoke to Apple support. It's down for "maintenance." There is nothing you can do to your phone to fix it.
3G and it won't connect still
Down for me on Verizon 3G and Wi-Fi as well in Utah.
Siri has been down all morning...Wi Fi and 3G on Sprint. Shutting down Siri, reboot, turn Siri back on...no go
Apple should send an email out to the 25 million iOS users and ask them to turn off Siri and restart there phones :)
Just checked Siri via Sprint on Wifi in Arizona and it worked just fine (10:00am local)
back up and running in NJ on Verizon
Was down all morning, but just tried before the post, and now she's working fine, on Wifi, AT&T& 32G model
Siri works again for me after disabling, rebooting, and then re-enabling Siri.
Mine is working, I just used it. Mine wasnt working last night but I reset my network settings and that addressed the issue.
Mine has been down for a few hrs and just started working. I don't tho k the people restarting things make much of a difference. It's probably more apple figuring out how to handle the 4 million phone load.
Nevermind, it's down again.
I just got off the phone with Apple tech support who told me the entire Siri network is down & they are working on it currently.
Well hopefully when it comes back it will be more reliable. Since I got this phone on Friday, Siri has been able to connect maybe half of the time.
I also wasn't aware Siri was in beta. None of the Apple commericals/demos said anything like that.
It is down in NY for sure. My brother and I are having the same issue. We have 16 and 32 GB models. a black and white both on AT&T. I have tried with WiFi and over 3G and still the same. Re-Booting doesn't do anything. Strange thing is that it was working quite well early this morning.
And now she's pissed!
Intermittent. Was down most of the morning, but she comes back!
Oh oh....SIRI has become SELF-AWARE! Judgement day on 11-11-2011.
It's been touch and go all morning. Mostly a no go. It's frustrating when you want to actually use the thing to get work done, dictate a message or email, and then it craps out saying it can't connect to the network. I love Siri when it works, but missing features aside, the current implementation is most definitely beta and often unusable.
I'm getting errors about the service not being available about 50% of the time I try to use it....it's been like that since launch.
Down for me as of this morning!
And now it's back working!
It wouldn't connect to the network yesterday for a few minutes. I went into settings, then siri and turned it off, then turned it back on, and it has worked fine for me since then. Everyone should try that instead of complaining all the time!!
It says it can't connect to network and has been doing this off and on since last night.
It works fine on wifi but seems to be off and on with 3G. I am on AT&T.
Was off and on earlier today. But she's back to work now. No issues. AT&T in Lexington, KY.
I just hope that updates to Siri are server side and we do NOT have to wait for regular iOS updates in order to see improvements to Siri.
Siri has been down for the last 2 hours.
Mine went down as well. VZ wifi & 3G in NJ
Here in the UK, the default Siri voice is - wait for it - a guy!
Puts a whole different spin on things over here. And we don't have all the features you Americans have on it yet (hopefully that will be dealt with soon)
Mine was down to. Does it connect to wifi? I got wifi but it was still saying no network.
Down for me wifi and AT&T 3G since this morning. I miss her :(
Mine has been working fine all day... Verizon, 3G and WiFi at work...
It was awful on Friday and Saturday with all the traffic, but has worked great since Sunday morning...
Edit: Nebraska (btw)
I had a few hicups yesterday but now it seems to be working wifi it works great on 3g for at&t i had minor problems and it figures those problems happend when i was showing someone how it works.
Siri is still not working
I thought mine was down but I just turned my phone off and on again and it worked just fine. Try it. I am curious if this works for others.
It's very slow !
I've had trouble with Siri all day, but also had my 3G and WiFi on (AT&T). The fix for me was to turn the wifi off so it could connect to just the 3G and not have to choose a certain connection. If there's bad reception, on comes wifi. Try to keep it to one connection, and it works great.
She also changed her name to Skynet.
When you ask her a dumb question, she should put you on a 5 minute time out.
well, if the useless questions would stop being sent to Siri, the service might actually work for those who want to use it.
Yes. Mine was down for a while this morning too. Looked on twitter and didn't seem like it was everyone. Glad she's back.
Siri seems to be back up at working for me. 3:53pm EST Monday. It was working a little while ago too, maybe 30 minutes ago.
I'm sure everyone and their Mamma had to show off their new phone when they got to work or school.
Its still in BETA. Let them get the bugs out. I admit its a nice feature.
what apple services are not working properly,that cant be possible cause everything apple do is flawless
Sorry - it's my fault!
I asked "How long is a piece of string?" and "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
ps - I really did the latter, the response was funny :D
If you examine the data Google delivers every minute of the day it dwarfs the load you just described. There are well over 100 million Android phones, over 200 million Gmail accounts, it answers 3 billion searches PER DAY, serves up 2 to 3 billion YouTube videos PER DAY, 50 million Google+ accounts, provides countless Google Maps and a bevy of other web based products. All this is done by a network of over 1 million huge servers in dozens of data centers across the globe. So perhaps you might want to retract your statement about what Google is set up to do.
pps - Ask Siri to tell you a joke :)
roflcopter - there are hundreds of these nuggets...
"Tell me a story" ...
It has been down for me all day. I am on AT&T and on 3G. I have tried restarting my phone and it does not fix it.
Was not connecting to the Verizon network in St Lawrence County NY and a reset of network (Apple tech agent suggested) did the trick.
I went in and turned Siri off in settings under general. Waited a few seconds then reset my network. Waited a few seconds and turned Siri back on and it's working fine now.
Woo hoo worked for me too!
Siri is down for me on AT&T, restarting did no good, and she is down on wifi and 3G. Bought my phone about an hour ago...really annoyed. Isn't it funny we can get mad at technology we didn't have just days ago?
Wow. I am browsing the comments on this page and I can't help but notice how much people defend Apple. "It's in Beta." It must be the high demand for such an awesome product." (Paraphrasing) If this outage was occurring on a Google, Blackberry or Microsoft platform, there would be people with torches and pitch forks at their gates. I am not even sure what is meant by "in Beta". Apple and/or the people on this message board can say that all they want, but it was still released on a production phone to users that don't have a clue what Beta even means. Maybe demand on the network is the issue. That is something any tech company their size has the responsibility to recognize and address beforehand. The question becomes, did they recognize and address it successfully?
Apple releases some great products. From what I have seen of Siri, it is one of those products. But give me a break. They are not flawless in everything they do. It is okay to criticize when it is warranted. I think it is warranted here and on a few other things.
I have no problems with Siri in my home city of Plattsburgh, NY, but in the village where I work (11 miles south of Plattsburgh) Siri can not connect to a network.
See, I'm not hallucinating! I have this problem! LEMONS! They sold me a lemon!
SIRI is down this morning....waiting a long time for Applecare -- must be system-wide. Patience. She's overworked and probably just taking a little nap.
She's down.....
Siri is down. First tried to reset, then reboot phone and it's still down. I heard it's from too much traffic. Get the bugs out apple. It's just an expensive iPhone 4 without Siri.
I have an iPhone 3G and it seems that Siri is permanently down. I've tried resetting my network settings and iPhone several times and nothing works. In fact, Siri, which I have been using successfully for months, went down the same days as the 4S launch.
Siri isn't intended to work on the 3G
So, if Siri is going down on me, how come I'm not getting off?
Siri is down again.
What's really annoying is that when Siri goes down, voice commands that work without turning Siri on such as voice dialing and playback control cease to function. I have no idea why that is, but it's really annoying.
Also Apple, if Siri is in beta, why do the commercials feature it?

- Reboot(check)
2."Disable" Siri, reset network settings then "enable" Siri(check)
- Nothing worked to get Siri up and running again(check)
I just got my 4S a few days ago and I must say this is diappointing. What's good about a new feature if it doesn't work when you want/need it to?! It worked fine the first couple of days but for the past 24hrs it says "sorry I'm having trouble connecting to the network". This better be fixed and soon!
Siri is down for me... has been all day. I've tried it on wi-fi and AT&T 3G.
Siri worked great the first 2-3 days, then we were getting messages that it had problems connecting to the network. It popped back in for a night, then for the past few days, Siri does work, but doesn't talk. So we can ask it a question verbally, but instead of Siri talking back, it searches and produces solutions to our question on either Safari or Wikipedia -- but Siri doesn't talk any longer. We are on Verizon in NC -- has anyone else had this "partial" loss of Siri function?
Usage of Siri on Verizon 3G appears to still be down. Anyone know if there is a fix on the way?
it worked all weekend, but is down today- trying to show it off to co-workers. No biggie though, it is beta testing. The thing is they will keep working on the software and it will get better and better.
It's still fun to ask it stupid questions!!! And I like thanking her, she comes up with cool things like "it is my pleasure to serve you", or "your wish is my command".

Mine has been down all day. Tried everything and nothing works to correct. Last Time I spoke to Apple the comment I got from them is "Well you have to understand it in Beta testing at the moment and you have to expect problems as they fix all the bugs" My reply is then stop building your entire advertisement campaign around Siri as it is not working most of the time.

Sanford Picks New Police Chief
January 29, 2013 | WMFE- Sanford officials announced their pick for who they want to lead the city's police department Tuesday. Cecil E. Smith, the deputy chief of the Elgin, Illinois police, has been offered the job for a salary of $110,446.
Two weeks ago Smith joined a panel discussion with four other finalists for the top job.
He outlined the challenge of rebuilding trust in the Sanford police department.
"It's not just a police issue, it is a community issue," said Smith.
"The entire city has to work together regardless of what portion of the city that you work in, it's important that we all work together to resolve the community issues and the concerns that are there, it creates trust and builds unity and we can move forward at that point."
City manager Norton Bonaparte says Smith has a week to decide whether to accept the job offer.
Sanford's former police chief Bill Lee was fired last year following criticism of his department's handling of the investigation into the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin.

text: For starters i am pretty new to this, my bookshelf system died after 10 years a month ago and i decided to upgrade or start a home theater system. My first plan was to just buy a intro level receiver, a pair of book shelf speakers and a sub. Well, currently i now have a set of Tsi 400( bi amped), Tsi100 for rear, cs10 center channel, a dsw660 pro, and a 1600 dollar pioneer elite sc-65(scored at bestbuy for 800!)...needless to say i was bitten hard by the audio bug. I realize its not nearly as nice as most of the people in this forum but i think it sounds beautiful! But already i want more power from my two main fronts. MY questions are, should i bother adding another amp to this setup? Or should i wait till i buy better fronts? if yes what kind of amp should i be looking for? Also can i add a 550pro or a 440 pro to this set up? Ive heard that if you have two subs they should be the exact same model, it this accurate? Thanks to all for any advice
