UNDATED- Propane is doing more than just firing up the grill. Some farmers are using the gas to grow better crops.
Agricultural experts say propane has many benefits to offer the farming world. It is safe, clean and becoming the wave of the future for organic farmers. Experts say propane-generated heat eliminates the weeds that could potentially kill a farmer's crops. In addition, it is not harmful to soil or water. Experts also say propane reduces soil erosion and keeps the soil moist.
Dave Outten of Suburban Propane said this new method is much safer than other chemical treatments.
"It's definitely a healthier and safer alternative," Outten said. "There's no chemicals going into the ground and there's no chemicals going on the actual plant itself."
Agricultural officials want to make propane a key part of organic farming by 2007. Because of the growing organic market, the propane industry has already invested $1.1 million in organic farming.

Economic Recovery a Longer Struggle for Blacks and Hispanics
Racial and ethnic gaps persist in unemployment rates.
At the height of the economic crisis, while Americans learned lingo like "credit default swaps" and "liars' loans," another new word crept into the national vocabulary: "mancession." This term was coined to describe a wave of job losses that disproportionately affected men. Now, while data show that the employment gap has closed considerably, major gaps remain between racial and ethnic groups. Even as recovery creeps along, it may be time to ask if the United States is in the grips of a "race-cession."
Throughout the economic crisis, the male unemployment rate soared, reaching 11.4 percent in October 2009, 2.7 percentage points higher than the unemployment rate for women, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Men have since bounced back, and the difference between women's and men's unemployment rates in May was 1.0 percent. However, blacks and Hispanics also suffered greatly from unemployment during the recession, and they for the most part have yet to rebound. As of May, blacks and African-Americans were experiencing 16.2 percent unemployment, and the figure for Hispanics and Latinos was 11.9 percent. Those rates are drastically higher than the 8 percent unemployment rate for whites and the 7 percent rate for Asians. As "Hispanic" is an ethnicity, it should be noted that Hispanics must also choose a race on the BLS's Current Population Survey. Therefore, any of the above race categories could potentially include Hispanics.
[See why Hispanics will be a key voting bloc in the 2012 presidential race.]
Unemployment gaps between racial and ethnic groups are not new. In 2006 and 2007, before the economic crisis, unemployment for whites hovered between 3.8 and 4.4 percent and for Asians stayed between 2.7 and 3.7 percent. Meanwhile, the rate for Hispanics ranged from 4.7 to 6.3 percent, and for blacks ranged from 7.7 to 9.5 percent.
While those gaps have long existed, the economic crisis has exacerbated them, miring some groups' unemployment rates in the double-digits. Furthermore, it is clear that the slowly rising tide of economic recovery is clearly not lifting all boats equally. The unemployment rate for blacks is down only 0.3 percent from its January 2010 peak of 16.5 percent. Hispanics have fared somewhat better; their 11.9 percent unemployment rate is down 1.3 percent from a peak of 13.2 percent in November 2010. Whites, who have much lower unemployment than both of these groups, have also made greater gains, with a 1.4 percent drop in unemployment since their 9.4 percent peak.
Determining why these unemployment gaps persist is a complicated enterprise. One cause often cited for the "mancession" was that "men's" industries—construction and durable goods manufacturing, for example—suffered some of the worst job losses, while industries with large shares of female workers, like healthcare, government, and education, fared better in the recession. Differences between industries may likewise be responsible for unemployment gaps between races and ethnicities, according to Gary Burtless, an economist at the Brookings Institution. He cites as an example construction, which employs many Latinos, and particularly Latino men.
Educational attainment levels may exacerbate these gaps, says Burtless: "Some ethnic and racial groups do have less schooling than others, and almost always recessions are harder on folks with less schooling than they are with people with the most schooling." He points out that the industries that are seeing the most growth, like healthcare, require workers with specialized education or advanced degrees. And some groups have far more of those degrees than others. Among Americans 25 and older, Asians are by far the most educated, with nearly 50 percent holding bachelor's or graduate degrees, according to the Census Bureau's 2009 American Communities Survey. Meanwhile, 25.2 percent of non-Hispanic whites hold bachelor's degrees or higher. By comparison, 17.6 percent of blacks and African-Americans and 12.6 percent of Hispanics hold such degrees. There is a clear and strong correlation between education and employment: The unemployment rate for people with a bachelor's degree or higher is 4.5 percent, compared with 9.5 percent for people who are high school graduates and did not attend college.

Allocating An Anniversary Budget
Your anniversary is an occasion when you can go back to being a girlfriend and boyfriend, and enjoy each other wholeheartedly. This especially applies to married couples, who can escape from the daily humdrum on their anniversary and spend some time together. However, the most exciting part is planning a surprise for your better half, which usually comes with a fear of an attack on the pocket.
Any price paid for that amazed expression on your partner's face when they see your surprise, is worth it. You can plan ahead of your anniversary day and save up to wow your significant other in the most loving way. If the plan is sorted out and arranged before the D-day, you will be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy it to the fullest.
There are so many ways for you to come up with something exciting, and keep a check on your budget as well. Many anniversary ideas seem pricey, but they are actually pretty affordable. Here are some ideas that will make your anniversary plans memorable and easy to execute:
Plan a Dinner
Sites like Groupon can help you find a deal of the day that suits you. This way, you can save up on either the present or even the anniversary dinner (if you are planning one). A great candlelight dinner can jazz up your day; you can either pop some champagne at a fancy restaurant, or set up a table at home! Surprising your partner is all about creativity.
Save Up on Gifts
Get a present that speaks volumes, and doesn't bear a horrifying price tag either. Save some money to get a nice watch or a perfume.
When buying jewelry, you do not necessarily have to opt for diamonds; other, slightly cheaper stones can be equally expressive. Choose roses in colors other than red, or go for other affordable options of flowers.
Plan a Special Surprise
Your better half will be happy to see a candlelight dinner and a glimmering present, but planning a special day dedicated to your relationship can be an even better idea. You can schedule some exciting things like planning a one-day trip to someplace exotic, or re-living some old memories. Show some effort by recreating your wedding day menu at home all by yourself. You can also dress up in your wedding day gowns all over again, and get a photo shoot done; getting a trash-the-dress shoot, years after your wedding will be a great idea and you won't feel bad about the dress either.
Getting the Budget Right
People tend to spend a lot on anniversaries. But it will be awful to exceed your budget while only trying to make an effort. Plan the entire anniversary day according to your budget; when scheduling a holiday, inform your partner beforehand to avoid any overlapping (maybe they have something up their sleeve as well!).
At the end of the day, it is the time spent together that matters. Anniversaries are for showing gratitude for having each other, and of course pampering your partner. Do it tastefully and cleverly!
7 Responses to Allocating An Anniversary Budget
I always like a nice home cooked dinner. Yum!
I agree with Michelle, I've had much more romantic dinners at home than I ever would have in a restaurant.
We enjoy our anniversaries by setting aside a day to just hang out together. Sometimes that's at home and sometimes that is out and about, but the important thing is it's just the two of us talking and laughing for the evening.
Every year, we take 230$ out of our tax refrund and buy a night at a cabin. It is the only time my husband and I have a night without kids. We plan for it every year.
We haven't been able to get away for an anniversary in a long time however we are currently saving up a boatload of credit card rewards in order to do something extremely extravagant 2 years from now.
I love when couples get creative and do something different. Something other than the typical dinner out, jewellery, or bouquet of flowers.
I love surprising my hubby! My favorite one so far has been setting up an Easter Egg Hunt for him two Easters ago when we couldn't be together (we had booked tickets to my parents' home, and then last minute his company needed him so he stayed behind–drats!). That was a lot of fun, and didn't cost a dime as I had some candy and plastic Easter eggs from years past.

TRAVERSE CITY -- Northport resident Ann McInnis installed solar panels on her roof about 18 months ago. In the summer, the panels generate excess energy and in the winter, her husband Doug keeps them clear of snow.
"Even when the sun doesn't come out, we still get generation," McInnis said.
McInnis and her husband chair the Energy Study Committee of the League of Women Voters Leelanau County. The group will host a fair and forum on energy resilience on Tuesday.
The event is focused on educating people about renewable energy and reducing energy use.
"We're just hoping people will become more conscious of the fact that not only are we going to have to become more energy conscious, but it'll save us money and it certainly will contribute to cutting down on emissions."
Solar power is an increasingly popular option in Leelanau County, McInnis said. The Northport Creek Golf Course, which hasn't opened yet, is supposed to be entirely solar-powered, and several other businesses are switching to the renewable source.
"A lot of businesses are more interested in solar because it's quick to install and costs come way down," McInnis said.
Steven Smiley, an energy economist and solar and wind power developer who will speak at the forum, said the key to renewable energy is using multiple generation techniques.
For example, wind power can help supplement solar on cloudy days.
"You mix them together. That's the key to the future of clean energy," said Smiley, who also owns Smiley Energy Services.
Forum speakers also will discuss what individuals can do to become more energy efficient.
Brian Beauchamp, the energy program director at the Michigan Land Use Institute, recommends a home energy assessment, done by professionals.
"People can see a significant savings in terms of energy and cost," Beauchamp said.

text: I could look it up, but rather than do that I'll go on imagining that someone once wanted to go to school to get a good education, and he went to the school and got a good education. Then he decided that he would use his education to open his own school for others who wanted a good education. Because the school he went to was business school, his next thought was 'There's money to be had here...' and he decided that he would charge people to attend his school. At first the school suffered, because he charged a lot of money, and though people were attracted to the school based on its price tag, they couldn't afford it. So the man decided to loan the people the money to attend his school, thinking that when they get their education, they would go off and make money to repay him. This is also how the first Pyramid Scheme was created.

If you frequent our BlackBerry Storm 2 forum, you'll know our pal Salomondrin has been up to his pre-release device antics again, this time delivering on his promised walk-through of the BlackBerry Storm 9550. In the 7 minute video above he gives a solid overview of what the device is all about as well as his opinions on it and how it compares to the first generation Storm. Like the first Storm 9550 in-action video we ran here at CrackBerry, Sal's 9550 lacks Wi-Fi and is rockin an early, early, early OS, so things are only going to get better from here. Odds are this video will disappear quick off the interwebs, so grab it fast. There are quite a few youtube accounts rocking it though.
In case you missed it this week, in the forums I posted a screen cap from a newer OS version of the 9550 which shows the 9550 does in fact have WiFi (in case you were doubting it) as well as the answers to some of the many questions that were asked after posting the first in-action video. Storm 2 chasers will want to stay tuned... newer versions of the Storm 2 hardware/software feature a cool improvement/innovation that hasn't yet been shown on the web (let's say there's even more to the display than initially meets the eye). I have no doubt it'll pop up in action before long. Good stuff salomondrin!
msb175 Aug 15, 2009 at 11:07 pm
The screen click sounds kinda cool. I like how the screen locks when the phone is off AND when its locked. i hate how i can push my screen in when in my pocket and locked up.

MRCUR Aug 15, 2009 at 11:42 pm
That's clearly a VZW device. You can run the "global" VZW phones on any GSM network. He only had edge (notice not EDGE) since VZW's EVDO isn't the same as GSM 3G; nor are there correct service books for the Storm from AT&T (I believe that's the reason behind no EDGE, or just no BIS/BES plan).
JRSCCivic98 Aug 16, 2009 at 1:21 am
PIN is probably blacklisted... it won't go CAPS (i.e. BIS/BES coverage if RIM blacklists your PIN)

kribbyns Aug 16, 2009 at 12:01 am
My suspicion (hope?) is that, for the same reason the screen doesn't click when it's off due to the new screen hardware, when you hover your finger over an onscreen button, the screen raises a bit under your finger to give the feel of a physical key. Or, maybe I'm just dreamin'...

accelerometer looks exactly the same if not slower.. im not bashing just yet, looks like a fun piece of hardware BUT I hope rim does some OS improvements or we will be in the same bucket as we are now with Storm... 160 character limit is like the storm... I dunno not much crazy advancements but WIFI and Screen... like I said I cant knock it till I try but Rim had this long to do something... DO IT!
All in all I gotta buy the Storm 2... I'm just that Berry Guy to do it :)

The 160 limit is the global standard for a single SMS/TEXT message. No phone can go over that limit in one message.

Plazmic Flame Aug 16, 2009 at 12:30 am
To be honest, it looks exactly the same except for the outer body. I'm still "cautiously excited" about this phone. I think I will wait for some type of spec sheet to show exactly what's NEW, whats UPDATED and what's been TRASHED when compared to Storm 1. Doesn't look like much though that warrants buying a new phone... again.

It seems that the reviewer hasn't used a Storm 1 in a long time. The speed demonstrated in the video is identical to what a Storm 1 has with any recent OS. Also, the buttons on the bottom of a Storm 1 DO light up.
I'm not sure what people were expecting out of the Storm 2, but it's just a Storm 1 without the click screen. That's ALL. Yes, they changed the bezel to be a darker gunmetal gray, they made the bottom buttons into the touch screen (which I'm not sure I like), they made the side buttons into the rubberized plastic, and they combined the power and lock button (since the previous power/hang up button is now integrated into the touch screen). Otherwise it's just a Storm 1 with an OS update.
This is merely a way for Verizon to cut down on the unit replacements due to the click screen being faulty.
john_ecko Aug 16, 2009 at 2:27 am
The storm 2 does click when it's on. When it's off or in lock, the screen won't click.
Sosai X Aug 16, 2009 at 7:13 am
THIS is what people will trade Storm 1s out for.
nosautbb Aug 16, 2009 at 2:23 am
i don't like touch screens, but if this is an early OS version...RIMM in on the right track. If they really want to compete, they need to do some larger overhaul in the media side of the phone.
still unsure about sure press because i think it'll slow you down. based on the video review, i can be wrong.
time will only tell.
karlac Aug 16, 2009 at 2:28 am
... unless there is a whole lot more under the hood.
s2by10 Aug 16, 2009 at 2:37 am
this is what the storm should've been!
nafiz011 Aug 16, 2009 at 3:08 am
still has the click?
I wonder how much its going to cost?
BajaBob Aug 16, 2009 at 7:42 am
In my honest opinion, as a BB app developer (roboconn.com), if this is what the OS looks and functions like on S2 I am moving to iPhone. Think about it... RIM has 1 year, scratch that, till 2010 to release a GREAT consumer phone to compete with the iPhone. The only people left on Verizon with Storms are the ones smart enough to save money by NOT switching to ATT. I admit, S2 looks like its faster, but thats not nearly enough. Once Verizon gets a CMDA iPhone, RIM'S easy 80 mil Verizon market is going to hell. As a developer, I have to pick a device and stick with it. Providing support for two separate devices is a nightmare since I am doing it all by myself. The latest games I am creating lag, and they arent even in 3D! I understand that blackberries are for professionals, not children, but dont adults like to have fun too? isnt that the whole reason why RIM is trying their cards in the consumer market? The storm IMO is marketed as a FUN phone, not just a productive one. There are so many possibilities RIM, step up and learn how to make a user friendly interface, support openGL 3D graphics, use a bigger battery if your worried about battery life, stop putting the radio in standby when we surf the web, give us a good OS (I played the "check the forums for a new OS leak every day game"), give us thumbnails when we are looking through our videos, i hate the naming schemes you give everything. the list goes on...
in all seriousness, I love my storm, and I really have fun developing games for it. but I have never told anyone to go buy one, nor have I supported those thinking about it. really, when I look back at the life of this device, I would mark it as a failure. It was premature, and RIM was just looking to capture the 80 mil apple could not get too. from a business standpoint, if S2 comes out around the same time as a Verizon iPhone and its not PERFECT, I mean a completely new shiny OS, then all current Storm owners will migrate to the iPhone, for lack of changes -> psychologically the phone will look the same as S1 and nobody will give it a chance.
taimuramjad Aug 16, 2009 at 10:38 am
I paid $400 for my Storm 9500.
If RIM expects me todish out another $400 for a bug ficer upper they have a thing comming!
i was really excited for the Storm2 till the last couple of minutes but the thought of spnding $400 on a bugfix with wifi option does not attract me.
Curve 8320 vs 8900 = Brand spanking new exterior with a sexy looking OS upgrade
S2 brings nothing new to the table.
kinggeoff Aug 17, 2009 at 3:27 pm
that "sexy looking OS upgrade" is what is on the Storm 1 right now. Transitions, fades and all.
How much of a different exterior were you expecting? The phone is just a big screen
But you're right about the S2 not bringing much to the table. RIM hasn't really brought anything *new* to the table at all since the Storm 1.
Stellar_act Aug 16, 2009 at 2:41 pm

Yes but adults have sex.

Sweet!! I can't wait till this comes available. My current storm isn't that bad, it has it moments, but the new one with wifi now that's what I'm talking about. Thanks for the preview.
dinhhair Aug 16, 2009 at 9:25 am
I dont see much improve from the video and why there no WIFI as rumour before ..honestly a little disappointed for the whole things .....UI just the same ....no flick scrolling ...the sound of physical clicking ....and if the final product not improve much I rather keep my old storm...
parroman Aug 16, 2009 at 9:29 am
Looks good...would like to see it compared to the onyx though
cheechoz818 Aug 16, 2009 at 9:58 am
can 1 of the videos please tell me if the surepress is even all around and that every phone will click the same way??????????
lostmarine Aug 16, 2009 at 10:30 am
That was the worst review of a phone I think I have ever seen. Half of the things he said about the Storm 1 weren't true. Please someone with a storm 1 get your hands on this thing and give us a good review.
petaf Aug 16, 2009 at 10:30 am
I would definitely consider this on AT&T. The addition of wi-fi, the fact that the device is a lot more solid looking (no light leaks), and hopefully will be easier to type on make it very appealing. But I still don't know whether I'd pick it over the 9300.

Personally I feel cheated and misled. I have the Storm 1, And i have named it the S#!T Storm. The thing sucks, sorry but it does. The Browser sucks, the upgraded HTML browser sucks, multiple battery pulls suck, most of the apps are lame and quite frankly who wants them.
1. I have to do multiple battery pulls a day, to keep my storm running, then the thing takes longer then a virus infested pc to load.
2. Why is it when i have my email settings to auto-grab the images i still have to do it for every one.
3. The thing freezes like a deer in headlights, did any one notice that the entire presentation was done in portrait mode??? with the exception of when he was showing the pictures and typing the messages
I was the biggest Storm supporter. Until I got an IPOD touch. I have more ease of use using the Wifi Texting, and email downloads and picture viewing than i do with my storm.
Now I find out that they are developing a new one instead of fixing the old one I was like Dude WTF, I personally will not be getting the Storm 2, 3 or 100.
Say what you want about Mac but both the iphone 1 and 2 are far superior than the storm. Not to mention the Ipod Touch. At least Apple fixed their old problems before they got on to the new
I know, I know what your going to say (In a whiny voice) it still doesn't have mms, well thats because ATT hasn't got it right, not Apple. (still in a whiny voice) But it doesn't multi-task, well who needs multitasking when the speed between apps is not only flawless but lightning fast. I swear I spend more time looking at the hour glass on my storm than anything else.
You know the one thing that is the most really disappointing, I can actually type this whole thing using my Ipod Touch quicker, than i could on my storm.
Nuff said I'm done
manunited518 Aug 16, 2009 at 12:18 pm
good thing were talking about the storm 2 here, NOT the storm 1.
go home
kinggeoff Aug 17, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Than a jailcell. You buy an iphone/ipod and you're in apple's pocket. You play by their rules and they lock down their shit tighter than richard simmons' spandex. I'd rather a more open platform, being able to install whichever apps I want, not just the ones approved by big mac.
If you want flashy graphics, that's great...but it's not everything. From the sound of things the storm just isnt your kind of phone, and that's fine. That's why competition is good. Lots of choice out there (omnia2 touch pro2 iphone pre). But don't chalk it up to inadequacies on the phone's part. I barely ever see the hourglass since OS .141 and up and I haven't had the thing freeze on me in months
deathberry Aug 16, 2009 at 11:32 am
Did anyone notice the 2gb sd card when he pulled the back cover (1:37) and then when he showed the device memory screen (3:48) it said there was 14gb's for the media card????
BajaBob Aug 16, 2009 at 11:39 am
its probably a 16 gig that is sectioning off system space.
salomondrin Aug 16, 2009 at 3:09 pm
you saw 2 different SD CARDS is because I was using 2 phones at the same time. ;)
Mainly showing the SW of the phone that had the 16GB card in it, and the HW on the 2GB card.
manunited518 Aug 16, 2009 at 12:16 pm
How is it running on AT&T without a SIM Card installed? isn't it primarily CDMA, meaning you need a SIM to do GSM?
aaw1944 Aug 16, 2009 at 12:42 pm
It appears there is a slight added speed. Other than that nothing more.
aaw1944 Aug 16, 2009 at 12:49 pm
I don't see where there are any major changes.
g_man_6 Aug 16, 2009 at 12:55 pm
this is very early software. The fact that it runs that fast on this software is impressive. I imagine when the final version is ready it will be lighting quick!
robhimself Aug 16, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Ever since the last official update i have been happy with my storm. A better processor would be nice but I'm ok with it. I am curious about the screen not clicking unless it is powered up.. does the screen actually push in or is it just a vibration inside the phone that makes it feel like it was clicked along with an audible "click" sound put out by the phone. Im just wondering because a mechanical click doesn't use a battery to work and using something like they are describing may shorten battery life if you are doing a lot of typing. Maybe im the only one who is wondering about this though.
cbigthings Aug 16, 2009 at 1:01 pm
I hope that in the next few months RIM will make this Storm 2 an eye poper. Their has to be WiFi on it, and the damn thing should be faster, and not spend a minute trying to catch up to me. The first Storm, shame on RIM for rushing it, and lets see if they learned from thier first touchscreen. Shame on me for thinking they will.
notorious51 Aug 16, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Hey what do you think is the expected retail price is?
I dont get a upgrade until feb. 10'...for me thats waiting too long if this comes out in nov/dec. I'm losing my mind with my 6th storm. I think i have to get another one now too. The screen I believe broke on me last night. Now no click what so ever. I hope this storm 2 will have no problem with clicking...
Detective M Downs Aug 16, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Looks good...
john_5_24 Aug 16, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Looks like I will stop purchasing BB apps since my next new phone will be a CDMA iPhone. Not impressed with this AT ALL.
hagosrush Aug 16, 2009 at 2:25 pm
what is with the ATT carrier at the top of phone?
hakoreh Aug 16, 2009 at 2:30 pm
a little faster that phone is but definitely not as fast as it should be. to go from the home screen to the menu ok it moves but when you were in media going from pictures or ringtones and then going from landscape to portrait mode, it just went slow. sorry but that's not enough of an improvement over the past one
kjdoug Aug 16, 2009 at 2:37 pm
My Storm 1 runs just as fast as that Storm 2 with OS 5.0 not much improvement...I will wait for OS 5.1 when they utilize the 3d gpu..then there will be something to talk about.
Aethiree Aug 16, 2009 at 3:12 pm
looks much better than Storm 1
Berry_Freak Aug 16, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Although a lot of the features on this seemed pretty awesome, and even with the older OS it seemed pretty fast, the biggest draw for me was seeing that 1/6 near the character limit for the text messages. Finally looks like Blackberry is going to start supporting EMS messages, are at least allowing you to type a message that will continue on to the next message/page without having to save draft and start a new one.
salomondrin Aug 16, 2009 at 4:42 pm
So it shouldn't be a problem for anyone! ;)
That means your txt messages can be seen on your BBM and if you are texting someone else with the same options, your txt messages will look 100% like BBM messages, which is pretty sick.
a.crews Aug 16, 2009 at 4:30 pm
i dont under stand how a Verizon device. is running on AT&T and using Edge...im lost. i have the storm. and this storm 2. looks so much better! but im not big on the screen click. it should be an option.
dixie dregs Aug 16, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Looks I will be a player...
TannerSDTwink Aug 16, 2009 at 6:53 pm
God Yes! This Actually Looks Better And Responds Quicker Than The First Storm. Not Bad, Not Bad. At Least I Look At It This Way, This Device Will Ship With OS 5.0+ At Least, Way Better Than 4.7.
chris321 Aug 16, 2009 at 6:53 pm
The new hardware plus an updated OS sounds promising. Nice to see the buttons part of the screen now
bradbogy Aug 16, 2009 at 7:13 pm
I thought the first Storm was great and I love it but I'm drooling over this. Too all the whiners. If you like the iPhone or another phone so much go get it. No one is stopping you. Just don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Even at the early stage it looks way better and responds way better than the first Storm does. I can't wait to see when it comes out! Sadly I won't be eligble for my year upgrade until February but I am ok with that. Should have at least 2 more updates for me by then :)
rob_ashsu Aug 16, 2009 at 7:33 pm
i have to pay full retail for this phone, im getting it
Kevin21 Aug 16, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Does it still have the click?
paulgur Aug 16, 2009 at 7:35 pm
I'm pretty sure I will stick with my Storm 1...the only thing that has me truly impressed is the 144+MB of application memory (what gives? why can't we have that too)...I know so many people that complain about the Storm 1 but I really like it...
Tang-Long Aug 16, 2009 at 9:12 pm
I am very suprised and i'll tell you why. I own a Storm 9500 and i use OS 5.0. since a few weeks. There are two reasons why i am so suprised. First: The most people who tried 5.0 on the Storm 1 told us that this OS is very buggy. Mine works great with this OS!! Second: As i can see on the Video, my Storm seems to be as fast as the Storm 2 in the video. There was only one problem which i had since i use OS 5.0 and that was a RESET which made by itself. Everything else is working very well. As i just told you...i am very suprised. Strange.... (please excuse if my english is a bit "buggy" but english is not my native language :-P )
fcortese Aug 16, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Storm 2 look looks great. So will Verizon give a break to the Storm "1" owners on a trade in??
a.crews Aug 16, 2009 at 10:08 pm
i dont care how well it looks. its about performance. and my storm freezes alot. but if the storm 2 doesnt do that then i am deff. willing to pay for the upgrade. hopfully its as good as every one is hoping for. i dont want another let down. i was pumped to get the storm one. it works great and its fast. but it just freezes and reboots its self way to often.
davec3275 Aug 16, 2009 at 10:16 pm
I can't wait to get a hold of this phone. It looks slick and impressive. I love the idea of a touch screen phone. As a Curve user, I will switch the first chance I get.
jonkjon Aug 16, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Disappointed that he didn't talk about the camera. I was impressed with the overall speed (except for the accelerometer). All in all i believe that it's an improvement.
I would hope that someone will do something for all of us Storm 1 adopters as far as an early upgrade discount or something for having to put up with all of the Storms' original shortcomings. While my Storm now is not too bad, it's only because of the Crackberry community.....
CasyCasy Aug 16, 2009 at 10:33 pm
thank you. awesome video
victorythagr8 Aug 17, 2009 at 12:45 am
There is no reason for me to get the storm 2. Really the phone has the same spec as the storm 1 outside of bigger memory and wifi and even that isnt enough for me spend 200 and another year contract for the phone. I most likely going to get a Motorola Shules when it comes out for verizon. And also I actually love the storm 1 but the storm 2 is nothing but a minor upgrade of the storm 1.
man no wi-fi again?
if it doesnt have wifi for sure ill not get it
jciskool Aug 17, 2009 at 1:40 am
C'mon ppl reason why it shows ATT is because it is a UNLOCKED Storm 2..
it suppors cdma and gsm..
eazid#CB Aug 17, 2009 at 2:18 am
I would gladly have this go to at&t if VZW could get the onyx and bold.

market58 Aug 17, 2009 at 10:49 am
Looks great!! I am glad they took the money they I gave them for the Storm and produced a decent product. I can't wait to give them more money for a phone that ctually works!
Maybe I can use my Storm as a door stop.....or a paper weight. It also makes a good hockey puck.....thanks Verizon!!
Rudolphe Aug 18, 2009 at 5:36 am
Great song choice Kev!
Shcokatwan Oct 3, 2009 at 10:09 pm
The only thing they have changed is the screen and WiFi. Other than that it is still the same phone.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Oklahoma heads back into Big 12 Conference play after a huge victory over Notre Dame, but offensive coordinator Josh Heupel sees plenty of offensive issues. First is OU only scoring 10 touchdowns in red zone trips this season.
One reason seems to be the short-yardage package quarterback Blake Bell used in the previous two seasons has been ineffective. He was stopped short of first downs three times against Notre Dame.
Is it a matter of OU losing interest in using its starting quarterback to lower his shoulder to pick up first downs?
"We're going to pick our points where we run the guy and how much we want to use him," Heupel said.
Bell is averaging 4.4 yards per carry, but his most effective runs have been on draws and scrambles. He admitted Tuesday he probably wouldn't be an effective quarterback if he was smashing into defensive linemen every time OU faced third-and-1.
"You can't go out there and run the ball, run the ball and do it all the time. There's a happy medium," he said. "As a quarterback you've got to do a little bit of both."
Another reason Bell has struggled as a short-yardage runner is defenses seemed to start catching up to it in the middle of last season and spend time preparing for it every time OU plays.
Nonetheless, Wednesday is the day OU practices goal line offense. It's expected to be intense.
"We have to better in short yardage. Fortunately, it hasn't come back and bit us and forced us to lose a game," center Gabe Ikard said. "If we cannot convert in short yardage we will lose a game. Tomorrow we know we have to get after it."
Where's Metoyer?: Sophomore wide receiver Trey Metoyer only has five catches for 11 yards this season and did not catch a pass against Notre Dame. Receivers coach Jay Norvell hinted Tuesday that Metoyer won't be a part of the offense until he solves some personal issues.
"It's been the same thing from the start. It's not an easy thing to play college football. There's a lot of responsibilities, there's a lot of things day in and day out and you have to accomplish. It's more than just running a deep ball. He's just got to be more consistent," Norvell said. "He's going through some things right now. He's trying to get his hands around it. And so we just wish him the best as he works his way through that."
Big crowd: There were more than 80,000 in attendance at last Saturday's OU-Notre Dame game. Blake Bell said a good amount of them were members of his family.
"I think I had like 17 or 20 of them all staying at a house. They rented a house and you look up in the stands and you see all of them there," he said. "That's just great support flying all the way to South Bend to watch you play. That's great."
Sooners at No. 8 in BCS projection: The first official BCS standings won't be released until Oct. 13, but current projections have Oklahoma at No. 8 through the first five weeks of the season, according to bcsguru.com
But it is important note the blessing/curse for the Sooners this season. They along with Ohio State are the only teams in the top 10 that do not have at least one more current top 10-opponent on the schedule. That makes winning all the remaining games, seemingly, easier. That's the blessing.
But there's a downside to that for the Sooners. Their schedule only includes three opponents — No. 20, Texas Tech, No. 17 Baylor and No. 22 Oklahoma State — that are in the top 43.
Size concern: Through four games, the changes defensive coordinator Mike Stoops has implemented seem to be a success. OU is currently No. 6 in the country in scoring defense.
But what happened in the Notre Dame game set off some alarm bells. Notre Dame's offensive success came when it put two tight ends on the field.
"We hadn't seen that, and our offense doesn't run much of it, either," he said. "There were some things that we learned technique-wise and schematics, what we need to improve on. As coaches we're always looking at the things that need to change and improve and we put our players in some tough situations."
OU has shifted to a 3-3-5 alignment this season to better matchup against the spread offenses in the Big 12. It'll see a typical version when it faces TCU at 6 p.m. Saturday at Owen Field.
It will also be the choice when the Sooners face Texas Tech Oct. 26, Baylor Nov. 7 and Oklahoma State Dec. 7.
But it's the other three games where there could be some changes. Stoops hinted Monday when it faces offenses that use a tight end, OU could revert back to four defensive linemen.
"We're trying to adjust and adapt to bigger sets as well. If we can't, then we have to go to four-down line to bigger sets as well," he said.

|Please help! This is my first time in posting a question but need some help. My aunt has a brother PE150 and has recently purchased a brother PED Basic to transfer additional patterns to her machine. Having had paid for a custom design to digitised, she has sucessfully transferred the design onto the blank embroidery card. But when she loads this into her PE 150, an error message comes up saying "This card cannot work. Turn off power, and change to embroidery card." I have tested the card on my brother (ULT3000) and the design shows up no problem - its a small 1.5"x1.5" design, so the card is not faulty.
I've researched that blank brother cards can be used with the PE 150.
PLEASE help - she has now invested a lot in the sewing machine/PED Basic/custom design and we don't know what the problem is.
if its easier email me on firstname.lastname@example.com
Follow-Up Postings:
Can you check the design and see what the hoop size is set for?
When the design was digitized, depending on the software used, there is a hoop size set up for the file. Even though the design itself is obviously small enough for the sewing field of the 150, it's possible that the digitizer set it up using a hoop size that is too large for the machine. Unfortunately, if that is the case, you'll have to have the design edited to change the hoop size, which I don't believe you can do with PED Basic. Email me if you need some help with this.
The only other possibility is that the card reader portion of the machine is not working. Is she able to use regular design cards on the machine?
- Posted by stitchntime9 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 13, 06 at 16:57
|Did you aunt have the machine on or off when she inserted the card? The machine has to be off. You insert the card, and then turn the machine on. If I remember correctly, if you insert a card when the machine is on, it will buzz, scream, and hiss at you in the process.
She may have not transferred all of the design on to the card...depending upon the computer, it can be fast or take forever, depending upon the transfer rate and size of the design.
- Posted by randommarble (My Page) on Wed, Aug 30, 06 at 8:11
|I know that with my machine you are meant to (before putting any designs on the card) put the card into the machine and save one of the designs off of the machine onto the card. This formats the card. Then when you put more designs on the card you have to save them into a particular folder. Possibly it is something like that with your aunt's machine too.

|I had this same problem, first my Brother PE 150 just buzzed, I saved a smaller pattern on my card and tried again. This time I got the message "This card cannot work. Turn off power, and change to embroidery card". I then saved the same pattern but change to the smallest hoop size, then saved to card. This time it worked.

|I have not used my Brother PE-150 in a couple months. Today when I went to use it, when I have the PE Card inserted into the machine, the screen is blank. When I take the card out, the screen comes on and it will allow me to use the designs that are preloaded on the machine. Can anyone tell me if the driver inside of the PE 150 maybe bad?
|I have a Brother PE 150 , it was working yesterday but today it keeps telling me that either the top or bottom thread is cut. I have checked it several times and the same message comes up. Any ideas please?

|Have you done a search/cleaning in the bobbin area and cutter? And do a cleaning of the top tensions--draw unwaxed dental floss thru the thread path with the foot raised. Sounds like there is thread bit somewhere giving the error message. Hope that is the case!

Fewer Confident of Reaching American Dream
Survey finds America on decline, China on the rise.
Less than one-third of Americans are confident of reaching the "American Dream," and huge majorities say it will only get harder for their children and grandchildren, according to a comprehensive new survey on the American Dream. Worse, according to the second annual American Dream Survey from the Xavier University Center for the Study of the American Dream, only 23 percent of Americans see the nation on the rise with a majority—52 percent—saying China now represents the future.
"In essence, Americans seem to be confirming the view in some quarters that if the last century was the American Century," says Center founder Michael Ford. "The current era is fast becoming the Chinese Century."
[See a slide show of the 10 Best Cities to Find a Job.]
The survey is a depressing review of how people view their situation and the nation in general. Among the findings:
-- Only 23 percent believe the country is headed in the right direction with 67 percent saying "things have gotten pretty seriously off on the wrong track."
-- Just 27 percent say they are "extremely confident" of reaching the American Dream, down from 40 percent a year ago.
-- 78 percent say they have less trust in government.
-- 69 percent feel it will be harder to reach the American Dream than it was for their parents; 73 percent say it will be still harder for their children or grandchildren to reach the American Dream.
-- 23 percent believe America is a country on the rise, down from 32 percent last year. Only 39 percent believe America represents the future, with 57 percent saying that the world looks to other nations now. And 52 percent say it's China that represents the future.

NORTH SMITHFIELD - Residents will get the opportunity this week to offer input on the proposed Fiscal 2012 $33.9 million town operating budget for next year.
The annual public hearing on the budget kicks off Monday at 7 p.m. in the Kendall Dean Auditorium on Green Street.
The proposed $33,977,854 budget represents a $747,215 decrease over the current $33,230,639 budget. The spending plan includes a $20,914,816 school budget, up $155,121 over last year.
WOONSOCKET – The city is ready to order a new fire truck from a South Dakota company to replace Engine No. 3 — a workhorse of the fire department that's about ready for retirement.
If the City Council approves, Crimson Fire will supply the Woonsocket Fire Department with a new engine at a cost of $263,981.
The city will pay for the vehicle in one fell swoop with proceeds from its $2 million federal Community Development Block Grant, an annual allotment which has been used for purchasing firefighting apparatus in the past.
PROVIDENCE — Waiting to compete in the high jump at Saturday's RIIL Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Mount St. Charles Academy's versatile junior Ali Sayles nearly missed the finals of the 100-meter high hurdles.
It's a good thing she got there in time. A few minutes after hustling her way over to the starting line, Sayles was crowned an individual titlist.
"It's just crazy," she said. "I wasn't expecting it at all."
LINCOLN — Down, but not out.
That was the mindset of the players of ninth-seeded Mount St. Charles Academy during their Division I playoff matchup with top-seed Lincoln High on Saturday.
Facing a three-run deficit entering the seventh inning, the underdog Mounties scored four times in the final frame en route to a 4-3 win over the Lions in the opener of the double-elimination tourney at Lonsdale Elementary School.
Taylor Messier tied the contest at 3 with a two-run double and teammate Emily Hendricks drove in the game-winner with base hit in the gap.
PROVIDENCE — Lincoln High's perfect season came to an end at the hands of … a perfect season.
In Saturday's clash between two unbeaten teams trying to etch their names into the Rhode Island Interscholastic League history books, it was Tiverton that emerged with an unblemished record — and the Division II state championship.
A late second-half comeback fell short for the Lions, who watched the Tigers celebrate a 12-8 victory at Rhode Island College to cap a 17-0 campaign.
BLACKSTONE – As students, they made it through difficult economic times and the challenges of an unsettled and dangerous world.
Now the future looms for 104 members of Blackstone-Millville Regional High School's Class of 2011, and the purple-and-gold-dressed graduates walking into the school's 41st commencement Friday evening were told to count on successes already achieved to make it a bright one.
High School Principal Richard Porter pointed to the evening's perfect weather as making the ceremony a special one just as would the performances by a "fabulous" BMR band and chorus.
BELLINGHAM - On a breezy, cool Friday evening, 115 Bellingham High School Blackhawks completed 13 years of formal schooling and they did it with class and style.
"What beautiful weather," outgoing School Superintendent David N. Fischer said at Friday's 73rd annual commencement exercises to honor the Class of 2011 graduating seniors. Yesterday's postcard-perfect weather saw the ceremony held outdoors for the first time in three years.
Rene A. Noury
WEST HAVEN, CT - Rene A. Noury, 82, a professional portrait photographer at Loring Studios in New Haven and Milford, CT for many years, died peacefully on May 27, 2011 under hospice care at his current residence at West Walk, West Haven, CT.
He previously had resided at Dwight Street, in New Haven for over 50 years. He was originally from Central Falls. He was an avid lover of flowering plants and collected rare antique and art pieces.
Roger A. LeBrun
PUNTA GORDA, FL- Roger A. LeBrun, 77, of Punta Gorda, FL passed away Monday, May 31, 2011 in Tampa, FL.
He was born May 16, 1934 in Woonsocket, RI to Adelard and Germaine (Bolduc) LeBrun.
Roger served in the US Army during the Korean Conflict and retired from Helix Technology in 2000 after 20 years of service. He was former owner and manager of Rogers Colonial Craft in Woonsocket, RI. Roger was a member of the American French Genealogy Society of Woonsocket, American Legion and YMCA. He enjoyed yard work, woodwork and his hobby was genealogy.
BURRILLVILLE — Hugh Finch of Harrisville is Rhode Island's winner of the first Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) Collaborative Teen Video Challenge, a national program that promotes summer reading.
A total of 20 states were represented in the CSLP's 2011 "You Are Here" teen video challenge winning videos, including Finch's 1:30 minute video of the Jesse M. Smith Memorial Library in Harrisville.
The national Collaborative Summer Reading Program contest encouraged teens to develop video skills, have fun and persuade others to use libraries all summer long.

Sturgill's love for Italian fare lifelong
As a child, longtime Tunica resident Lynn Sturgill spent much of her time moving from place to place as a result of her father's job.
From Memphis to Boston, to Florida, North Carolina, New York and Texas, Sturgill's early life was filled with moves across the country as her father worked to turn around failing Ford Motor Company dealerships as an employee of the then-largest Ford dealer in the country, Hull-Dobbs Ford.

Kendrick Lamar shows off his singular, wild vocal range on "Swimming Pools (Drank)," a new single produced by YMCMB hitmaker T-Minus ("Moment 4 Life," "I'm On One," "HYFR") and engineered by longtime TDE affiliate MixedByAli. The strangest articulation comes at the start of the second verse, with a cameo by a squeaky alter-ego that lives inside Kendrick's head, who sounds like a toy being pressed. Lamar's album, good kid m.A.A.d city, drops October 2nd via TDE/Interscope. Even Lady Gaga's looking forward to it—she wrote in a tweet that she admires his lyrics, and visited Chicago over the weekend to see him perform there.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said that President Obama was able to win re-election, in part, by making the election between "them and us" and saying Republicans don't care about a sizable chunk of the American population.
"He's a very good campaigner and his campaign was well-organized and they got their vote out," Mr. Bush said in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation." "He won by waging a very effective campaign, and he won by, in some ways, dividing the country, and so Republicans, I think, need to learn from this and not just be reacting to what we think is wrong about the president's polices. We need to be advocating positive positive policies as well. And I think there's a growing awareness that that's the case."
SEE RELATED: Jeb Bush: 'Not much daylight' between immigration plans
Mr. Bush, a potential contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, said a basic tenet of Mr. Obama's campaign was that successful people were not paying their fair share, even though "incredibly high" taxes are in place for high-income Americans.
"I think he ran a campaign of 'them and us,' and it was quite effective that, somehow, Republicans don't care about the large number of people," Mr. Bush said. "It's not true, but in order to win, I think Republicans need to offer a compelling alternative and have proposals on health care, have proposals on tax reform, on entitlement reform. The good news is that that is emerging."

Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio has gone for it on fourth down more than any head coach in the NFL this season, successfully converting 13-of-22 chances (59 percent). However, in 4th-and-1 situations, the Jags have a 57.1 percent conversion rate compared to the league average of 66.5 percent. In Week 15 against the Colts, with his team trailing 14-10 early in the third quarter, Del Rio elected to roll the dice on 4th-and-1 at the Jaguars' 39-yard line. The play-call was a toss right for Maurice Jones-Drew, but he fumbled the toss and lost yardage, turning the ball over on downs. Colts RB Donald Brown scored on a 43-yard TD scamper two plays later and Indy never trailed the rest of the way. Considering that the Colts — who had scored only 14 points in the first half and were missing WR Austin Collie, who accounted for both TDs before suffering a concussion — had a 33.5 percent chance of taking over on downs in Jaguars' territory, the decision to go for it was a poorly calculated risk by Del Rio.

A 68-year-old man suffered burn injuries in a boat fire at a Silver Beach Road residence that was recently repaired after sustaining damage from Superstorm Sandy.
Toms River police and fire units from Ocean Beach, Seaside Heights and Lavallette responded and "quickly" extinguished the fire on a boat located in the front yard of a 238 Silver Beach Road home at 2 p.m., said Chief of Police Michael Mastronardy.
"The boat located in the front yard was totally destroyed and the fire damaged the vinyl siding on the front of the two-story home," the chief said.
"The homeowners had recently repaired the house which suffered damage as the result of Superstorm Sandy," said James Mercready, director of the Toms River Bureau of Fire Prevention. "Firefighters were able to keep the fire from the interior portion of the structure."
The unidentified 68-year-old man is a Normandy Beach mechanic who was working on the boat when gasoline fumes ignited, which resulted in the complete destruction of the boat, according to Mercready.
The man was taken to Ocean Medical Center in Brick with burns to a hand and foot, Mastronardy said. The man told police he was working on the boat when he turned the engine on and it ignited.
Fire Inspector Dominick Roselli said that the fire was accidental. The Toms River Office of Emergency Management also responded to analyze remaining gasoline in the fuel tank of the vessel, Mercready said.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Mercer County has a local hospital, Princeton Community, that has offered space for a veterans clinic as well as a foundation that has been approached for funding of the equipment. Several individuals, as well as myself, have spoken with Senator Manchin and Congressman Rahall.
Congressman Rahall recently renewed his call for a clinic in Mercer County. I received a letter from Daniel F. Hoffmann, FACHE, network director, VISN 6 with the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he states the VA is exploring the possibility of establishing a telehealth center for veterans in Mercer County. Our legislators need to fight for an outpatient VA satellite clinic in Mercer County, not a telehealth center. The clinic would serve our veterans in Mercer, McDowell and Tazewell counties. Statistics show there is definitely the veteran population in southern West Virginia.
Our veterans should not have to endure the cost, time and travel involved in traveling to the VA hospital in Beckley for non emergency procedures. A psychiatrist and psychologist will be available through Princeton Community Hospital (the Pavilion) to address the issues of PTSD and TBI, which is rampant with our veterans and returning veterans. Many have fought in wars; some making the ultimate sacrifice so that we can have our freedom. My husband was one of those that made the ultimate sacrifice.
With the offer from Princeton Community Hospital and potential funding from a local foundation, this is a win-win situation for our veterans and Mercer County. I'm asking you to show your support and contact local legislators requesting they fight for our veterans and establish an outpatient VA satellite clinic in Mercer County.
