BlackBerry 10 is coming and just in case there hasn't been enough confirmation floating about for you that it will be arriving on U.S. carriers, Reuters has spoken to Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile on the matter. All of which, have confirmed BlackBerry 10 will be added to their device lineups with more information coming soon from each.
"We're hopeful it's going to be a good device," and "We'll carry it" said Lowell McAdam, chief executive of Verizon.
"We're extremely optimistic that it's going to be a successful product and our business customers are extremely interested in it," Chief Executive John Legere of T-Mobile USA said.
"It's logical to expect our current (BlackBerry) customers will have the best BlackBerry devices to choose from in the future," AT&T handset executive Jeff Bradley said.
While none of the executives were keen on offering up much else information, it's pretty clear the outlines have been set already and we'll be hearing more soon. Now, where is Sprint?

looking good for North America
Yaaaaassss! Go big blue! AT&T better have it at launch not two weeks after -_-
I'm dying for them to have it at launch as well. I've been holding onto my upgrade for this.

What happened to the company called Sprint?

neoflasher Jan 9, 2013 at 7:11 pm
WTF Sprint??? Get with the program.. I also hope its a world phone like the 9930. I currently have the Samsung Galaxy s3 and isn't a world phone so kinda sucks when traveling abroad..
Caesar Miramontes Jan 9, 2013 at 7:11 pm
Go Team Blackberry!!! Watch out Apple and its copycat, RIMpire Strikes Back!!!
YES! T-Mo LESSSGOOOOOOO!

(Damn shift delete!)
Verizon and AT&T don't seem terribly excited to carry it though.
Who cares, AT&T BB10 for me!
EsJayDee Jan 9, 2013 at 7:32 pm
That's what I'm saying, tmobile seems to be the only one optimistic to carry it. Lol
jbaker8 Jan 9, 2013 at 9:09 pm
I'm told an unlocked T-Mobile will work with an ATT sim card.
Torch 9860 & PlayBook (Life is good)
12Danny123 Jan 9, 2013 at 9:29 pm
I think the reason why. they don't seem excited is likely Wp8. Because I have tones of friends that work at AT&T and Verizon stores. They say it's actually selling pretty well. better than they expected. and reports say Wp8 has been selling 5 times faster in Christmas 2012 than 2011 Christmas. Good Luck RIM :-)
nyplaya610 Jan 9, 2013 at 7:14 pm
Damn no news on spint? :/
Willeonabe Jan 9, 2013 at 7:16 pm
Sprint needs to come out and say that they're supporting BB10 or else there will be an exodus and I will be one of the first ones to leave.
thpsrulr Jan 9, 2013 at 8:54 pm
I will be right behind you if sprint doesn't get it together! They are the only one out of the big 4 carriers that doesn't carry WP 7 or 8 devices so this has me thinking I'm jumping ship soon with them.
12Danny123 Jan 9, 2013 at 9:23 pm
dude. they confirmed their support for Wp8. they are getting NEXT gen Wp8 devices in the summer. But I do agree Sprint does need to hurry up
thpsrulr Jan 10, 2013 at 12:23 pm
Well that is good at least for Sprint but by then anyone that wanted one will already have one on another carrier so sales for Sprint WP8 phones will be slow/non-existent because they are late to the party on yet another thing (LTE comes to mind). :(
I won't wait until December for them to get it together and offer BB10 devices I have waited 5 months already as it is and not upgraded waiting for BB10. Just weird to me how not committed sprint is to offer anything new since they sold themselves out to offer the iphone 7 years after its initial release.
Add me to the list of those leaving Sprint if, they don't sell the BB10!
doza2012 Jan 9, 2013 at 11:09 pm
I can easily ditch Sprint as well of they don't get with the program.
scuebydue Jan 9, 2013 at 7:25 pm
US Cellular???
Good question.
My wife has US Cellular. It's the only one with coverage in the rural areas around here. I'm considering jumping on her plan if USC gets the Z10.
terreos Jan 9, 2013 at 7:25 pm
Don't do this sprint. I don't care if you have unlimited data. If you can't provide an upgrade for the BlackBerry users I'll be on the train to leave.
my sentiments exactly...
aboldcurve Jan 9, 2013 at 7:27 pm
Seriously! Where is Sprint? I'm gonna have to leave as well to get me some bb10
Bold 9930 :: pin:332300CD :: Twitter: @ChrisJaam
BlackberryTorcher Jan 9, 2013 at 7:56 pm
T-Mobile has better plan rates anyway so go ahead and jump ship now lol
srmurray1 Jan 9, 2013 at 7:29 pm
Need word from Sprint! 5 of us on a family plan. 2 BBs, one android and 2 non-smart phones. I am dying for a BB 10 but no upgrade until 2014. My partner is due Feb 1. Better be available or she is going Samsung Galaxy. I won't have a BB10 to play with. Boo!
Rootbrian Jan 9, 2013 at 11:17 pm
Forget abandoning blackberry, move the entire family off sprint and join the GSM family. If sprint doesn't get it, you know what to do! ;)
BBNation Jan 9, 2013 at 7:35 pm
So pretty much all BIG BOYS around the world will be selling it..
neoflasher Jan 9, 2013 at 7:36 pm
I am not due for an upgrade anytime soon. Will pay full price for BB10 and am currently using galaxy s3. Sprint better get it together. I could careless about unlimited data... Kinda sucks anyway only 3G in my area anyway. Only issue is in my area only Sprint and Verizon have decent coverage and Verizon is robbery...
Rootbrian Jan 9, 2013 at 11:20 pm
Both of them are CDMA and are nowhere's near "4G LTE". It's more like a rebranded 2G like EVDO Rev. A which is old technology, but it moves through walls easier. Why haven't they combined CDMA and GSM? It would be mucb easier to use data and voice simitaniously.
kevinnugent Jan 9, 2013 at 7:40 pm
"We're hopeful it's going to be a good device,"
Yikes. Don't they know whether or not it's good NOW?
BB_Bmore Jan 9, 2013 at 7:41 pm
Wow Sprint...really!?!? T-mobile has been doing a lot of things to bring in customers as of late. They may just be worth a look. Smh at Sprint...
These guys know a good phone and a game changer when they see one.
tliolos Jan 9, 2013 at 7:44 pm
Was at sprint the other day and the tech told me that they haven't decided if they are going to carry it......i was really bummed when I left!
Jimcmf Jan 9, 2013 at 10:56 pm
He is just trolling with you.
They'll get it. If not, switch carriers.
Keep in mind that when you go into the store or call customer service, they don't know their head from their arse when you ask about something they don't currently offer. So when a tech in the store tell you they haven't decided, he just telling you what he thinks, not what is real. The only people that can say whether something would be offered is the Executives in the company. Until training comes down the pipe, those kids in the stores don't know anything. Do not get bummed when you get an uneducated answer from a store associate about a device or service they do not offer. They simply don't know.
Snipperdo17 Jan 9, 2013 at 7:47 pm
Ha thank god I left sprint. Worst company in the us
SuperionMaximus Jan 9, 2013 at 7:51 pm
Sprint is a little gun shy but they have millions of BlackBerry customers who they won't risk by not carrying it.
AT&T and Verizon want a device that can sell Millions per quarter on Each rather then Windows Phone that can barely Manage 10 million in Q4 world wide across 4 OEMs.
If RIM can manage to move more units in Q1 then Windows Phones did in Q4 on AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile then you can bet your backside that they will all be lining up to carry the other 4 models the rest of the year.
Just about anyone in the USA with a BB 7 device that they've had since launch would be eligible for upgrade. Lets hope RIM has a really compelling product and an even more compelling message to BlackBerry people.
The carriers won't say no to Microsoft but they know as well as we do that the billions spent haven't delivered the numbers yet. If RIM can hit the ground running with solid sales figures then the carriers will all back BlackBerry.
12Danny123 Jan 9, 2013 at 9:41 pm
Dude. you need to be honest. MS just confirmed WP has been selling 5 times faster than last year. that does mean more than 10 million in a whole quarter. I love BB10. I will try it but I do have love for Wp8 as well. and I can say currently WP8 is selling better than BB at the moment. I recently was at China at the Nokia store in Shanghai and there was TONES of people waiting for the 920.
Jimcmf Jan 9, 2013 at 10:59 pm
People will line up for the BB10. Just give it till February 6th. That is when they launch world wide.
All of these carriers could care less about the phone, or who makes it for that matter. They know that Androids and iphones sell like mad. When Z10 sells like mad, then to them it will be the greatest thing ever
Smokeless Joe Jan 9, 2013 at 7:52 pm
Looks like Sprint might drop the ball again. Sold their souls for the iPhone maybe?
pneumasax Jan 9, 2013 at 7:52 pm
YES!!!! Where Is SPRINT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!????!!!???!?!?!?!
sidds18 Jan 9, 2013 at 7:59 pm
Yeah! Verizon ....bring it soon and maybe give people due in couple of months an advance upgrade.have been loyal to you for almost 3 years with unlimited data plan.
westex74 Jan 9, 2013 at 8:11 pm
I just hope AT&T has devices on launch day, and doesn't pull another bush league delay like they did with the 9900.
lboogie_1971_ Jan 9, 2013 at 8:11 pm
I have a contract with ATT until June hopefully when the phones drop I can get it early and not have to wait until June.
I am also considering going no contract with T Mobile to take advantage of the unlimited plans they have. Can anyone clue me in how good or bad service is with T Mobile? If their service is any good then I will bring my family over with me
Balti43 Jan 10, 2013 at 1:33 am
I have had TMO for 6+ years never had any issues with them, great customer service and knowledgable reps
Kiddo_24 Jan 9, 2013 at 8:17 pm
BlackBerry 10
Verizon wireless.
Still rocking my unlimited data package.
I'm buying my BB off-contract! =D
sklotz2000 Jan 9, 2013 at 8:24 pm
Heads up... The unlimited package is for 3G only!!
ltcbfan Jan 9, 2013 at 9:34 pm
Wtf really???? I am going to have to check this out.
wazzugrad Jan 9, 2013 at 10:11 pm
You still keep your unlimited data if you switch to a 4G phone, as long as you buy off contract.
Rootbrian Jan 9, 2013 at 11:29 pm
Not "4G". It's fawx 4G, meaning rebranded 3G HSPA+. Don't be fooled, it's marketing.
BSFA2008 Jan 9, 2013 at 8:19 pm
rickster21 Jan 9, 2013 at 8:24 pm
Really hope TMo will allow UMA or WiFi calling
sklotz2000 Jan 9, 2013 at 8:25 pm
I can't wait for Verizon to announce their rollout. I've been due for an upgrade since August. This is killing me!!!
Wow, very enthused Verizon. Lowell McAdam can taste me.
TooManyClowns Jan 9, 2013 at 8:41 pm
I'm off contract, and just waiting......
Went in the big Verizon store today..
The 'Wireless Expert' looked at me as if I was crazy!
(or perhaps just awoke from suspended animation..)
RIM?...dead & gone he said!
Blackberry?...nope, an ancient history phone!
Knew nothing of a new Blackberry!
Perhaps I wanted a new Windows phone? (since I'd already mentioned I didn't want iPhone or Android)
Told me I was the first person in the store in over a year even mentioning Blackberry!
I suggested Jeremy get up to speed, took his card and left....
pepidick Jan 9, 2013 at 8:58 pm
Same thing happen to me in a Sprint store!!! Had to get the salesperson to go to YouTube....:/
rifka_f Jan 9, 2013 at 8:47 pm
Glad to see that TMo finally got off the pot...if I could pre-order now...
pepidick Jan 9, 2013 at 8:50 pm
Hope your Listening Sprint!!!! I have like half a year left in my contract and I will break it to go with BB10 so with or with out you I'm going BB10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think all the carriers are being reserved at the request of RIM. They dont want to spoil the party by saying too much. I will be getting a Z10 day 1
07thking Jan 9, 2013 at 8:51 pm
Please don't forget Sprint got the 9930 long before T-Mobile had the 9900. They will have it just like everyone else.
unknowngeek Jan 9, 2013 at 9:09 pm
Come on Sprint, do this for your BB fans! My contract has been up since the launch of the iPhone 5, but like many of the loyal crackberry fans out there, shooting up with a different brand just wouldn't seem right. Unlimited data is great, but jumping ship to Verizon for BB10 and LTE is tempting...
BlackBerry for life
rickkel Jan 9, 2013 at 9:27 pm
I sent an email to Verizon asking if they were forming a waiting list for the new BB10 phone about two days ago and they haven't answered me yet. My guess is the person that got it has no idea what I'm talking about.
What really irritated me is when Verizon first got the iPhone and then again when the iPhone 5 came out, when I logged into my Verizon account, little buttons appeared below my family's phones with "Click here to upgrade to iPhone". Why are they not doing that for the BlackBerry 10? One would think they would at least do that for people who currently have an older BlackBerry. Does Apple pay for such blatant "advertising"? They must have because I've never seen them do it for any other phone.
xiaohuaxing Jan 9, 2013 at 10:18 pm
WoW! If that's a spot available for sale, RIM should jump on that ASAP!
rickkel Jan 10, 2013 at 5:32 pm
I just got a reply to my email. This doesn't bode well just weeks before a major release of a major brand...
Dear Rick,
I want to first thank you for being a loyal customer since 1996 that is absolutely amazing! My name is Shannon I want to apologize for the delayed response to your email, we are still trying to play catch up from the Holiday rush.
I currently do not have any information that has been released by Verizon stating we are going to have the new Blackberry 10. However I did do some outside of the box research for you through Google and was able to find some additional information. Please visit the link below.
As the web page explains it does state we are going to have this phone. I do want to make sure I am clear, I do not have any information confirming or denying this statement. Believe me if I did I would pass it along to you. I want to thank you for your continuing patience regarding this matter.
If you have any additional questions please reply to this email or give us a call at 1-800-922-0204. If you reply to this email please allow 24-48 hours for a reply back. Thank you for contacting Verizon Wireless your business is greatly appreciated. Have a good day!
Verizon Wireless
Customer Service
Come on Sprint, I've been hanging on to my 9650 long enough!!!!
Well Sprint....Hope you got a spy on crackberry
I was at T-Mobile, then I was at AT&T then I switched to Sprint because AT&T delayed release of 9900 and disabled NFC. If Sprint doesn't get the program I will be forced to switch to Verizon.
Hopefully, Softbank doesn't lose multi-billion dollar investment in Sprint.
El Platanero Jan 9, 2013 at 9:46 pm
I read this article and almost slammed my phone. No jokes, no empty threats...just straight up. My account has three active lines and eventually evolve to five. If Sprint does not release z10. I really hope Sprint is reading these articles. As a matter a fact I say that all sprint users who are serious call Sprint and advise them that if they don't support the new z10 to notate the account that we are moving on at that tim

Okay so this is a start regarding a start for sprint. Now let's see WHEN they do it
EchuOkan1 Jan 9, 2013 at 10:03 pm
Can't wait to get my hands on a Z10.
xiaohuaxing Jan 9, 2013 at 10:19 pm
T-Mo doesn't have LTE and their network isn't going to until late 2013. How will that play out? Will the T-Mo version not have LTE? Or have it but not work until later?
sf49ers Jan 9, 2013 at 10:30 pm
UDPATE (Breaking news): Sprint confirms it will also support BB10.
thpsrulr Jan 10, 2013 at 9:11 pm
That is good news at least, but they better get the phone at the same time as VZW and the rest or I will swap carriers.
BB_Bmore Jan 9, 2013 at 10:40 pm
Sprint is on that's great but will they have it at or close to launch. I can't wait 6 more months for Sprint. I need my fix ASAP!!!
theonecid Jan 9, 2013 at 10:41 pm
LOL @ Typo under SMS/MMS. It's **RECEIVED**
Jimcmf Jan 9, 2013 at 11:04 pm
These phones are awesome.
How many do you think RIMM will sell in the first quarter?
Goliath Gt Jan 9, 2013 at 11:06 pm
whats wrong with sprint...........hey rim whats wrong with sprint.........?????? wth.......dayum
BBVegasGirl80 Jan 9, 2013 at 11:10 pm
Great news about T-Mobile. Looking forward to upgrading. A friend of mine and I were talking about the BB10 launch tonight and she's excited to upgrade as well. She's a die-hard BB user with a 9900. I think she's with AT&T.
I also talked to a vendor at CES that sells cases for BB and the Playbook, as well as other phones and tablets, and he is very excited for BB10 as well. Word of mouth is still very powerful. The more we get a buzz going, the better it will be in the long run! :-)
Mistik Jan 9, 2013 at 11:23 pm
Sprint people, chill out. Sprint has an excellent realtionship with sprint and tons of customers waiting for a new BB. Sprints alway anounces them last minute. They will get it, only question is when.
I'm glad for tmobile but I hope they don't pull a fast one and decide to only carry the keyboard version. They have never got on with the program on a touchscreen blackberry so that makes me a bit worried.
scrimp9890 Jan 10, 2013 at 12:06 am
I always thought that was a dumb move for them. T-mobile seems to be too obsessed with Android, in my opinion. Their employees even tried to sway my mom from the BlackBerry she wanted to an Android device. I was like no, that's not what she wants.
If they're smart, which I'm beginning to wonder about with their lack of the iPhone, they'll get both devices, or at the very least the full touchscreen (Z10?). Also, that's the one I want, so it will make me happy since I've been holding onto my upgrade since Oct.
Tbh, I had little faith that Tmobile would get BB10 to begin with...
ED1209 Jan 9, 2013 at 11:59 pm
I don't believe Sprint would just sit back and not offer BB10... i don't know what they are waiting for, but I can see BB10 included in their BlackBerry line up of phones..
decypher44 Jan 10, 2013 at 12:45 am
Yeah, where IS Sprint????
dailybargainshop Jan 10, 2013 at 12:48 am
Great job, I like it very much. This new hand set having amazing features, I wish that I can buy it in future.
Aljean Thein Jan 10, 2013 at 12:55 am
"It's logical to expect our current (BlackBerry) customers will have the best BlackBerry devices to choose from in the future," AT&T handset executive Jeff Bradley said.
Future ?! I hope you guys don't delay with this BB10 launch like you did with the 9900 series. You BETTER have them at launch !!! I'll be one angry at&t customer.
cl8baller Jan 10, 2013 at 1:12 am
Now we just need to hope AT&T doesn't decide to delay the hell out of the device like with the 9900.
bbfan1040 Jan 11, 2013 at 1:27 am
Will switch to Verizon if ATT slow to ship. Don't think that will happen.
Note Apple share price drop. Hopefully good news for RIMM!
How will RIMM know how to supply BB10 adequately without overstocking?
I would suggest they get around to actually stocking it in US before we start worrying about overstocking.
HigherThanMars Jan 10, 2013 at 2:36 am
YES! Finally something from T-Mobile. I was worried there for a bit. On T-Mobile now with a 9900 and its great. Have Wi-Fi calling and 4G. The sound quality was MUCH better than when I had the 9780 and 9700. Got a BB Playbook shipping to my house now. Hopefully getting Z10 when it comes out. BTW don't really like z10 for a name but oh well, name is the least important thing, can't wait for hub and all the new bb goodies! RIMpire strikes back!!!
xiaohuaxing Jan 10, 2013 at 2:50 am
T-Mobile 4G is fake, it's really 3.5G and they won't have LTE until end of this year. Hopefully the bb devices they sell are still LTE capable though so we can buy it on day one and still take advantage of LTE when it rolls out without having to buy another device.
HigherThanMars Jan 10, 2013 at 3:02 am
Word, I know. But I like to pretend its actual 4G. Mind over matter, ignorance is bliss.... blah blah blah. Its a LOT faster than my 9780 and 9700 were with 3G, so its all the same to me. Download songs in the wink of an eye from aimini or beemp3 so I'm not complaining. I just hope the z10 is reasonably priced because I'm not made of money. may have to wait until someone is selling one on craigslist haha or maybe i'll win one from "what would you do for bb10"....
Sprint Jumps On Board, Will Support BlackBerry 10

houssamad Jan 10, 2013 at 12:51 pm
Hey folks!!
Has anyone an idea if t-mobile wil support BB10 in all countries? In my case its Germany. If anyone knows something about that, would be great :) thanks in advance.
BlackBerry Bold 9900, Playbook 64 GB wifi
chemist22 Jan 18, 2013 at 4:23 pm
Verizon rep told me that bb10 phone not that popular and all phones will be release by all carriers at the same time ..... we will see
"in the future" - now that is quite reassuring.

So the original Captiol of jetstone, and thus the original certain the jetstone side could be even furthar than that. But saying that i must remember that spacerock used to belong to another side before it belong to Jetstone; but like i said, it's far enough away from Faq that it might not be part of haffaton and could currently exist.
Jetstone is probably moderately distant from Gobwin Knob, given that Stanley's various aggressions had touched them only lightly (hence Vinny's questioning of why Ansom considered Stanley's destruction such a high priority).

text: Hey guys so I'm finally upgrading my home theater system and decided to go with Polk. I have two speaker systems in mind Polks monitor 60 series towers $279 two, CS2 center channel $108, and either the monitor 30's $89 or 40's $140. The second set were the Polks 65t towers, 25c center channel, and 35b surround speakers for $100 or so more. I already have the psw10 sub along with my avr 2113Cl. So my question is what's the main difference between these and is it worth it to spend a bit more. As a newb I'm also not sure about the bi wiring to my receiver and if it'll even make a difference since I am not using a separate amp. Thanks again all responses wlecome

(fluticasone propionate) Nasal Spray, 50 mcg
For Intranasal Use Only.
- Patient Information:
Details with Side Effects
Fluticasone propionate, the active component of FLONASE (fluticasone propionate) Nasal Spray, is a synthetic corticosteroid having the chemical name S-(fluoromethyl)6α,9-difluoro-11β-17-dihydroxy-16α-methyl-3-oxoandrosta-1,4-diene-17β-carbothioate, 17-propionate and the following chemical structure:
Fluticasone propionate is a white to off-white powder with a molecular weight of 500.6, and the empirical formula is C25H31F3O5S. It is practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethylformamide, and slightly soluble in methanol and 95% ethanol.
FLONASE (fluticasone propionate) Nasal Spray, 50 mcg is an aqueous suspension of microfine fluticasone propionate for topical administration to the nasal mucosa by means of a metering, atomizing spray pump. FLONASE (fluticasone propionate) Nasal Spray also contains microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose sodium, dextrose, 0.02% w/w benzalkonium chloride, polysorbate 80, and 0.25% w/w phenylethyl alcohol, and has a pH between 5 and 7.
It is necessary to prime the pump before first use or after a period of non-use (1 week or more). After initial priming (6 actuations), each actuation delivers 50 mcg of fluticasone propionate in 100 mg of formulation through the nasal adapter. Each 16-g bottle of FLONASE (fluticasone propionate) Nasal Spray provides 120 metered sprays. After 120 metered sprays, the amount of fluticasone propionate delivered per actuation may not be consistent and the unit should be discarded.

Filed under: Uncategorized
We asked frequent TR reader Devendra Banhart to contribute his recollections of dating the one known as Natalie Portman. He sent in the following.
What and Who I Will Do For My Career
by Devendra Banhart
I woke up yesterday with a splitting headache. Too much Burgundy, too much cocaine, and too much of her.
"Devendra! Devendra!" When I open my eyes I swear that Natalie was watching herself in The Professional. Ever since my publicist hooked me up with this lew (what gentiles like me call lame jews) I have been enduring a never ending stream of this bullshit.
"How much do you want to fuck the thirteen year old me?" she said. "Tell me."
"That's gross," I said. Also, the first time we slept together, afterwards she asked me if that was how they did it in Venezuela. "Absolutely not," I told her.
jude and NP
"When did you lose your virginity?" she said, dancing on the bed. "Tell me and I'll tongue your balls."
"I'm still a virgin," I said. "I'm going to order some papayas."
"Get me the huge." 'Huge' in the Portman family parlance, she had informed me during our first meal, meant, 'the usual'. She reminded me of Anna Faris in Just Friends.
When we met, it seemed great.
We were halfway through a MOMA screening of Conrad Clark's eulogy for Beijing when Natalie whispered in my ear, "l can't tell any of these characters apart." This somehow seguewayed into a 40 minute argument about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. By the time she was going down on me in the bathroom closest to the Cy Twombly mural she felt we were closer than ever. Me, I wanted to refute her supposed concessions at Gaza and lecture her parents for hours.
chan marshall & me
Also, she has a tiny vagina. So tiny. Sounds great, right? But whenever it starts getting uncomfortable at all, she lets me know. Again, not a problem in itself, but instead of being like, slow down guy, she starts yelling, "Poopsikins! Poopsikins!" The first time she said it I was looking around for the camera. At least she's a vegan.
My agent talked me down after our first MOMA fight. "Take it easy, D," he recommended. "She's a great girl, you just have to get to know her better. Also, just going out with her sold 40,000 copies of Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon."
"Fudge," I said, knowing how bad that album really was.
"Will Is My Friend" – Devendra Banhart (mp3)
"Shabop Shalom" – Devendra Banhart (mp3)
"Lover" – Devendra Banhart (mp3)
"Bad Girl" – Devendra Banhart (mp3)
I used the money on a framed portrait of myself and gave it to her along with the feather of a peregrine falcon. I felt bad. I mean, it happens. You're interested in a girl and the newness of that, and then the eroticism fades. It doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a chance.
Yesterday started well enough. "Tao Lin makes me want to write the craziest things," she screamed in St. Mark's bookstore. At least we were agreeing on something. "Let's go see Nathan Englander read at McNally Robinson," she said excitedly, stealing a copy of a magazine with a very provocative cover.
"Nathan Englander?" I said. "I think I'm going to have to send a frothy e-mail to the Harvard english department from whence you came. Plus, he's a lew like you. I'd really rather go see Junot Diaz at NYU."
"But Nathan Englander's funny," she said. "Wes and I used to read parts of For the Relief of Unbearable Urges aloud before bedtime."
"Mention another one of your ex boyfriends and I swear I'll give you a bloody eyeball, Queen Amidala."
"Let's just go and if it's bad, I'll just soak a chamois of llama skin with my juices and weave it into your hair, poopsikins," she said. I shuddered.
She spent most of the reading finding dumb things to look at on her laptop. She found an interview I'd done:
Well, I said to myself, "What's the title?" and I heard from myself, " Look in books, think… feel words, extract the words from the songs, condense the record into a word or a couple of words, etc". Then I said to the spirit of Krishna-Murti, "Whats the title?" and i heard, "Keep looking in all those places you told yourself to look, keep looking diligently, though it will not come from there, i will bring it to you if you keep looking in all the wrong places". And as I looked I began to hear, "I Am Cripple Crow, I Am Cripple Crow", so i was gonna call it, I Am Cripple Crow, but I thought it would look like I was saying… I, Devendra, am Cripple Crow, which I am not, Cripple Crow is the album, so I got rid of the I Am.
"That's fucking retarded," she whispered, "and I'm pretty sure Krishnamurti is still alive." I stormed out of the bookstore.
The next night, my boy Cabic comes over to play some xBox and braid my hair, and NP sits in the corner reading a magazine (I believe it was Highlights) and acting like she's doing me some big favor by letting me have my bromance.
Cabic is so weirded out he leaves after only two hours of Madden and I think she can sense that I'm frustrated, because when I come into the bedroom she's wearing the blonde wig from Closer and she has her mouth duct-taped shut. You tell me if you could resist. You can't. It's impossible.
While sex isn't everything, it is something. When it's not around you look to see if maybe it's on your computer. When it's lying in your bed about to say something completely insane about the motivation of the Israeli citizens building settlements on Palestinian land, you have to ask yourself: At what cost?
I promised myself that I'd break up with her this morning. I know exactly what to say.
The best part about dating an actress is that breaking up is an orgasm straight out of the Claude Levi-Strauss handbook. You can "represent" the "break-up" without having to really say a word.
You simply set up a situation unexpectedly similar to a moment they got dumped in one of their movies. Naturally this is easier if you happen to find yourself LTRing Billy Crudup, Jennifer Aniston, or Jim Krasinski. By the way Krasinski, if I have to read another interview where you talk about how much you love David Foster Wallace, I'm going to eat your spleen.
Since NP played the feature lew in The Diary of Anne Frank, my choice is fairly obvious. Yet before I have even gotten out of bed she's asking me if I ever had banana pancakes when I was growing up in Venezuela.
I finally can't control myself: "THERE WILL BE NO FUCKING BANANA PANCAKES," I scream. "And when you're from Long Island, I don't think you can call the U.S. 'The States.' Pretty sure that's just a bullshit affectation. You went to Solomon Schechter for Christ's sake."
"That hurts me a lot, D," she says.
"That's what she said," I said. "You watch The Office? No? I'm never good at this part."
"I guess it's better," she says. "But I'll always treasure our photoset together. Do you want to get coffee?"
"Sure," I say, "but just as friends, and I should probably take off this SS uniform first."
Devendra Banhart is a musician living in Los Angeles. This is his first appearance in these pages, and most likely his last unless he starts dating Scarlett or something.

Would somebody please tell me when the fuck Devendra Banhart got so popular? I've been listening to his music for years…since before anyone I know had heard of him…and what the fuck is this, man??…i had hoped he was a little deeper than this…i hope he's not selling out…he is, by the way
Also, one more thing…
quando você fala em Português, por favor, tente fazer mais sentido.
This is really funny. Did Banhart really write this?
Don't you be mean to Natalie. She's lovely.
The perceptive amongst you, may have realised that I have just found this site (initally attracted by the jellyfish) and have read right through everything.!
Dick Cheney on Lost is Killer but I mean this is some kind of award winning stuff surely?

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

Large Methane Plumes Discovered on Laptev Continental Slope Boundary: Evidence of Possible Methane Hydrate Release | Robert Scribbler Blog
SWERUS-C3 researchers have on earlier expeditions documented extensive venting of methane from the subsea system to the atmosphere over the East Siberian Arctic Shelf. On this Oden expedition we have gathered a strong team to assess these methane releases in greater detail than ever before to substantially improve our collective understanding of the methane sources and the functioning of the system. This is information that is crucial if we are to be able to provide scientific estimations of how these methane releases may develop in the future (emphasis added). — Örjan Gustafsson
Over the past few years, the Arctic has been experiencing an invasion.
Emerging from the Gulf Stream, a pulse of warmer than normal water propagated north past Iceland and into the Barents Sea. There, it dove beneath the surface fresh water and retreating sea ice, plunging to a depth of around 200-500 meters where it concentrated, lending heat to the entire water column. Taking a right hand turn along the Siberian Continental Shelf, it crossed through the mid water zones of the Kara. Finally, it entered the Laptev and there it abutted against the downward facing slopes of the submarine continental region.

The microbes living in the guts of males and females react differently to diet, even when the diets are identical, according to a study by scientists from The University of Texas at Austin and six other institutions published this week in the journal Nature Communications. These results suggest that therapies designed to improve human health and treat diseases through nutrition might need to be tailored for each sex.
The researchers studied the gut microbes in two species of fish and in mice, and also conducted an in-depth analysis of data that other researchers collected on humans. They found that in fish and humans diet affected the microbiota of males and females differently. In some cases, different species of microbes would dominate, while in others, the diversity of bacteria would be higher in one sex than the other.
These results suggest that any therapies designed to improve human health through diet should take into account whether the patient is male or female.
Only in recent years has science begun to completely appreciate the importance of the human microbiome, which consists of all the bacteria that live in and on people's bodies. There are hundreds or even thousands of species of microbes in the human digestive system alone, each varying in abundance.

Jake you still rocking those DIY speakers as well?
Perhaps attach the GTMat with a temporary method so you can "test" it out? My thought anyway.
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."
"Green leaves reveal the heart spoken Khatru"- Jon Anderson
"Have A Little Faith! And Everything You'll Face, Will Jump From Out Right On Into Place! Yeah! Take A Little Time! And Everything You'll Find, Will Move From Gloom Right On Into Shine!"- Arthur Lee
Here is another picture of the factory bracing in my 1986 SRS 2s:
Last night I cracked open my SRS 2s again to installed the new GTMat Quadro dampener/foam combo. The deadening mat is about 1/3in thick, and has a decent weight to it. It cuts easily with a utility knife, if treated like any other deadener mat. I had 2 sq/ft of it, and with eight midwoofers, I cut the Quadro mat into eight equal, 6 sq/in pieces. The back of the mat comes with a pressure sensitive adhesive, which was strong enough to grab onto the clean MDF cabinet, but would peel off with a little effort if I ever needed to remove it. Applying the deadener pieces to the back of the cabinet behind each midwoofer occupied about 2/3 of the total surface area. I have heard mixed reviews of how much deadener foam to apply to absorb midwoofer backwave, but the consensus seemed to be that 100% is too much, so 2/3 sounded like a good ratio. Even though the Quadro mat also can reduce cabinet resonance by adding mass, the factory internal bracing in my SRS 2s would seem to make that less necessary than other vintage Polk speakers I've owned. I then wired up all the drivers, replaced the factory roll of acoustic stuffing behind each midwoofer, and mounted the woofers back in the baffle.
As it was late and my family was already asleep, I turned on the most recent sound track of Les Miserables at a low level and sat down for a few minutes of listening. I usually listen to music with the volume turned up a bit, as the additional power seems to bring out the dynamics and detail of these power hungry speakers. Since this wasn't an option, I did an initial listen to see if I could hear anything at the lower volume, until I could do a real listen the next day. I started up the music at a low volume, and to my amazement, the music sounded great! After moving through a few songs, I could hear that I was enjoying all the detail, micro dynamics, and voicing that I was used to! The music was also cleaner sounding and less congested, but the tracks I was listening to were not terribly complex, so most testing on that topic would need to be done. The soundstage was recessed, and the macro dynamics were still lacking, but I attribute both of these to the low power/volume, and I will retest for these again on my next listening session. I also noticed an increase in bass response while listening, and the bass was very full and blended well with the upper frequencies in a way that I previously had not heard at low volume listening. I'm not sure I can attribute this to the installation of the foam deadening mat, but it sounded great none the less, and I will not hesitate to do low volume listening in the future!
For a product that is $13 an sq/ft, I am very happy with the initial increase performance that it gave my speakers. Currently, I would consider it a moderate tweak in terms of performance gains, but it is just one more piece that can increase the overall performance of a great pair of vintage speakers. I can't compare this to a more expensive and purpose development product like NoRez or BlackHole, but it gets my initial recommendation as another tweak in the toolbox of the speaker upgrader/modifier.
For full disclosure, when applying the deadener foam mat, I had already applied deadener to the midwoofer and passive radiator baskets. Crossovers were stock, drivers were original including SL2000 tweeters, and cabinets were otherwise stock.
After critical listening last night with many types of music, and different volumes, and including watching "This Is It", the application of Quadro deadening foam from GTMat increased the overall clarity, decreased decay time of a sound, and aided in reducing muddy playback on very complex passages and songs. Since I only provided 2/3 coverage of the cabinet walls behind the midwoofers, I don't know if adding or removing the mat would proportionally add or decrease it's effect on reproduction, but I am very happy leaving it in place and moving on to other upgrades.
Now, I'll be really interested to hear what happens to these speakers with the two different applications of deadener, once I upgrade the crossovers...
The decreased decay time is something I've noticed by applying any deadening material to any piece, including the electronics. It almost feels like the air is taken out of the music, but in reality I think you're just hearing the sound of the actual gear more accurately than before. The same mod is on the list when I get my Usher's reworked.
Usher CP-6311, Shuguang S200MK, Shuguang S845MK, Pioneer BDP-51fd, Essence Audio HDACC, Douglas IC's, Douglas Alpha bi-wire SC's, Pangea/Douglas PC's, Epson 8100
seems like a good ROI
One of these days let's run a test. GTMat vs. NoRez. It's harder to compare Black Hole and 3-layer S.B., because they don't have the damping layer which adheres to the enclosure. But, we could use a layer of the PartsExpress vinyl with S.B. stuck on top it- a "poor man's NoRez." Or, the same thing with a Dynamat layer instead of the vinyl. Or, to heck with the S.B. and just try the damping layer by itself.
We'd have to build a baffle of a given size, mount a driver in it, and stimulate the driver with a given signal, like an MLS impulse. I will have to wire up my accelerometer for use in the measurement software, but I'm going to do that anyway.
After everything is calibrated and a few experiments run to nail down a definitive test, then we should end up with a fairly definitive result.
An alternate test to find the efficacy of Black Hole in comparison to other products would be to build an enclosure, mount the driver, stimulate it, and measure the vibration on the walls of the enclosure at the bass frequencies that the stuff is supposed to isolate the walls from. This could get very expensive, but it would be interesting! Something to think about...

My friends and family know that in the past 10 years, I've had too many pairs of speakers to count, but everyone who's come over since I've had the SRS 2s have said, "Wow. Those sound great!" I would have to agree, and am very happy I made the jump back to SDAs after a few years.
I'm not sure what upgrades I can get to this week even though I got my new SpeakOn SDA cables parts in, but next week my daughter will be at her grandparents house, so I might be able to get the rest of my upgrades completed; install new caps and resistors, install rings, install new SpeakOn SDA cable and connectors.
Crossover and SpeakOn IC upgrades started because... what better time than now...
Finished the right speaker, and the left one will take me half as long now that I know how to screw things up. :) I forgot that the LP circuit film caps don't fit behind the passive radiator, so I had to make that adjustment. I also didn't realize how impressive installing the SpeakOn connector was going to be, in seriously updating the look and feel of the back of these speakers; combined with new, silver binding posts of course.
The left speaker will be finished tonight, followed by testing to ensure I didn't mess anything up that would create SDA issues. HF boards for these speakers use four resistors and two caps each, and the large MOX resistors mixed with the film caps make for a bit of a puzzle on those boards. I'm very excited to give these a listen tonight and hear what improvements the new crossovers, binding posts, SpeakOn SDA cable, driver basket Dynamat, and GTMat Quadro deadener provide. Rings will be installed this weekend as it's a bit more of an involved project, and original gaskets still seem to be holding the cabinet seal very well.
Pictures to come! Except I can't seem to successful upload them with the forum changes...
Nice! Next up, Dreadnaught!
Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.
Use Imgur for pictures.
"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche
Got everything finished up last night and went for a listen, but no SDA effect... I'll have to open them back up this weekend to figure out why, but I need to double check the connections on the SpeakOn jacks. I accidentally got a pair of 4-pole jacks, and need to confirm that I soldered the correct two tabs on both sides as the cable and plugs are 2-pole.
Anything else that maybe commonly overlooked to make the SDA midwoofers not play? When I replaced the components on the boards, I did not remove them from the cabinets or desolder the leads from the drivers, so there should be no chance of crossed wires there. I'll also double check the wiring to the binding post for correct polarity, the wires that connect the HF and LF boards, and the continuity of my new SDA cable.
Did some testing and here's what I found so far:
-SpeakOn SDA cable has continuity from left to right speaker, and white wire swapped polarity at SDA connector.
-Connecting SDA results in no change in Dimentional drivers
-With or without SDA cable connected, low level signal comes out of Dimentional drivers
-Sit back and listen, and they sound like good stereo speakers
I'll check all my wiring, soldering, and traces, but I'm currently stumped...
SDA connector:
Blue wire of right speaker connects to white wire of left speaker.
Black wire of left speaker connects to white wire of right speaker.
Reverse-polarity speaker wires? If both speakers are reversed-polarity, the SDA is defeated.

Since the SDA connector is located behind/inside the inductor on the back of the cabinet, the inductor body seemed to have been pinching the wires. I rearranging the routing and that seems to have fixed the issues! More testing is coming...
Started to install the rings last night, and I'll going to be a LONG process...
Larry's rings are a great product and design, but all the internal bracing of my 1986 SRS 2s is really screwing up the process. The brackets for the top tweeter go in well, except I have to trim off the bottom of the bracket for the bottom bolt because it hits the bracing. The top mounting holes for the bottom tweeter go directing into the bracing, so I haven't figured out what I want do there. The bottom midwoofers are also mounted right next to bracing, so I will have to cut down the mounting rings there, and the passive radiators have bracing along the top of the opening creating the same issue.
I have everything drilled out except for the bottom tweeters because I'm still figuring those out, and I have a few rings in already, so hopefully I'll be able to get the rest in tonight. My nibbler has been awesome at tweaking the brackets only taking off as little material as I need to get the right fit.
The rings don't have much rigidity. Consider using hurricane nuts instead of rings.
Much rigidity? They are steel rings with threaded inserts? I guess you'll have to explain...
I will have to use the original mounting screws for the top of the tweeters, as there is 4" of MDF behind that's not going anywhere. I cut the tweeter brackets in half, and will be using it for the bottom half of the tweeter. Oh well and they will still be very secure.
Jake, the round ends of the tweeter brackets are designed to be separated from the curved middle section. Just bend the round ends back and forth until the tabs break. I don't know if that will help with your situation, but you don't seem aware of that.
The 4 pole versions are bigger, beefier and spec better than the 2 pole. You got the right ones.Originally Posted by zingo
