EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New Jersey Nets are boiling mad.
As the Nets and Boston Celtics get ready for Game 5 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals tonight at Continental Airlines Arena, the Nets have put a huge chip on their collective shoulder.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New Jersey Nets are boiling mad.
As the Nets and Boston Celtics get ready for Game 5 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals tonight at Continental Airlines Arena, the Nets have put a huge chip on their collective shoulder.
Over the holiday weekend in Boston, the Nets coughed up a 26-point third-quarter lead to lose Game 3, then desperately clung to the remnants of another large third-quarter lead (15 points), to beat the Celtics, 94-92, and tie the best-of-seven series at 2-2.
The Nets are mad because they feel one horrible quarter, even if it was a record-setting debacle of a quarter, should not have been enough to consign them, the team with the best regular-season record in the East, to summer vacation in the minds and words of so many.
And they're mad because their star and leader, Jason Kidd, was taunted by Boston Celtic fans in a way that seems, to Kidd anyway, too personal.
Every time Kidd shot free throws in the fourth quarter Monday, Celtic fans yelled "wife beater, wife beater," at Kidd.
Kidd said Tuesday that he could accept being booed and could accept the "wife beater" chant. When he was playing for the Phoenix Suns, he was charged with striking his wife, Joumana. Though the charges were dropped, he paid a fine and underwent anger management counseling. The blow to his reputation and to that of the Suns is believed to have been a factor in Kidd's trade to the Nets.
What he found objectionable were comments made by some fans directly to Joumana and 3-year-old T.J., the couple's son.
"That bothers me," Kidd said. "I can't protect them. I'm worried about them at the same time I'm worried about trying to win a ballgame. You can't do that to somebody's family."
The Nets are also tired of being overlooked. "People wrote us off too soon," guard Kerry Kittles said. "I think we earned a little more respect than we've been given."
The Celtics aren't worried about why the Nets are fired up. They are trying to figure out how to quit putting themselves in a major first-half hole.
"We know we can come back because we've done it all year," Boston forward Antoine Walker said. "But we don't need to be doing it every game."

The Daily Star
---- — NEW BERLIN — Once Unatego's girls got going Friday, it was hard to make them stop.
Tanner Reed started a four-goal spurt less than 12 minutes into the opening half, leading the Spartans to a 5-1 Midstate Athletic Conference soccer championship victory over host Unadilla Valley.
"They were just beating us to the ball early," said Unatego coach Sue Herodes, whose team allowed one shot in the first 10-plus minutes despite constant pressure from the Division II champion Storm (8-7). "But once we settled down and started to get our passing game going, we knew we were going to score."
Samantha Pikaard soon set the tone with a shot that didn't find the net, pounding the ball off the near post for the Division I champs.
Reed followed with an unassisted goal 11:38 into the match, starting a first-half scoring spree for Unatego (14-2). Reed carried the ball into the right corner of UV's end, beat a defender and stroked a shot past goalie Abbie Oglesby (eight saves) for a 1-0 lead.
The Spartans continued their attack with 21:25 left in the first half as Torri Halaquist made it 2-0 off a corner-kick assist from Emily Slawson.
Pikaard then made up for the one that got away, converting a pass to the top of the 18-yard box from Kayla Komenda with 12:56 left before halftime for a 3-0 advantage.
Komenda also set up Allyson Butler for the final goal of the opening half. UV failed to clear Komenda's free kick, which resulted from a high-kick penalty, and Butler cleaned it up with 7:09 to go as the Spartans took a 4-0 lead into the break.
"When we play our team passing game, that is the key," Herodes said. "Nobody can effectively mark everyone."
The Storm avoided a shutout 11 minutes into the second half, when Taylor Davis beat winning goalie Megan Faulkner (five saves) with an unassisted goal.
Reed capped the scoring 10 minutes later on a shot that bounced down off the crossbar. Referee Bruce Miller ruled the ball broke the goal line, giving an assist to Halaquist in the process.
Despite the loss, UV coach Diane Hayes said she was proud of the Storm's season.
"Just getting to the MAC championship game was significant," she said. "And beating Greene (twice) for the first time in six seasons was the high point of the season."
Unatego also beat UV, 2-0, in overtime during the regular season. The teams played on the tall grass of the Storm's modified field Friday because Thursday's heavy rain made the varsity pitch unplayable.
Unatego, which won its ninth MAC title in the league's 13th season, has a first-round bye for the upcoming Section Four Class C Tournament. The third-seeded Spartans will host MAC rival Sidney, which is seeded sixth, in a sectional quarterfinal at 3:30 p.m. Thursday.
UV is the ninth seed for sectionals and will visit No. 8 seed Candor of the Interscholastic Athletic Conference for a first-round game at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Unatego and UV are on opposite sides of the brackets, meaning they can only meet again this season if they both advance to the Section Four Class C title game in November.
Unatego 5, UV 1
Unatego 4 1 - 5
Unadilla Valley 0 1 - 1
Unatego (14-2): Tanner Reed 2-0, Torri Halaquist 1-1, Samantha Pikaard 1-0, Allyson Butler 1-0, Kayla Komenda 0-2, Emily Slawson 0-1.
Unadilla Valley (8-7): Taylor Davis 1-0.
Shots-corner kicks: Unat 16-3; UV 10-3.
Goalies: Megan Faulkner (Unat) 5, Cassidy Frazier (Unat) 2; Abbie Oglesby (UV) 8.

I love it when our loyal CrackBerry members volunteer the time and effort to put together a real masterpiece for the CrackBerry blogs.
Today we have Paul Johnson, aka pmjohnson99, with his in-depth impressions of Sprint's new BlackBerry Curve 8330. This is Paul's first BlackBerry, but I wouldn't consider him a Newbie. He became a member of CrackBerry.com months ago and like so many other CDMA subscribers out there waited eagerly for the 8330's release. When he finally got his hands on his new Curve, he was already educated and hit the ground running.
While Paul may be new to BlackBerry, he's not new to technology. He's a Print Production Artist / Graphic Designer in LA, has worked as an IT admin, computer tech and audio/visual specialist and reads sites like CrackBerry, BGR and Engadget constantly throughout the day. I think you'll enjoy his straight up review - I know I did. Read Paul's Review After the Jump.
Sprint BlackBerry 8300 Curve Review: The Perspective From a New to BlackBerry User
by Paul Johnson
My background with BlackBerry is short compared to some. I have researched the subject for almost a year now so I am not a "Newbie" but a "Newbie With Knowledge". When my local Sprint Rep, Belinda, wrestled a newly released 8330 away from the teaming masses for me to call my own I was ready to dive in headfirst. Coming from a Motorola E815 (don't laugh, that phone was a work-horse) I was just happy to be able to finally do the things the cool kids were doing in the CrackBerry world. I was going to email, brick break and laugh in the face of Wi-Fi fees as I tethered with reckless abandon. I was going to rule with a cellular fist!
The CDMA Curve, or 8330*, or sCurve, as some have called it, has the basic shape and size of older BlackBerry Curves. I didn't want to do an "unboxing" for this review as we all know what comes in that cardboard "Ark of the Covenant".
Some notable updates to this device are the included 1GB micro SD card and 96MB of internal memory, an increase over the normal 64MB. I believe the memory increase is due to CDMA technology uses different software protocols than GSM, which may require more space. There is an internal GPS, but no Wi-Fi built into the device.
[ Note - for the sake of this article I will refer to the Sprint Curve as the 8330, I am fully aware that Verizon's curve is the same model, but this article is only about the Sprint Curve and it gets redundant to keep writing "Sprint Curve" ]
The 8330 is colored in RIM's "Titanium" color scheme that has been modified with some new sophistication. I went to a local T-Mobile store to compare Curves and was pleasantly surprised that 8330 owners didn't just get a hand-me-down, they got an update to the Curve family.
The Sprint Curve has the standard QWERTY backlit keyboard colored like AT&T's red Curve. The number keys are lighter and the rest of the letter keys are dark. I like this layout because the numerical keys are easier to see when dialing at arms length. RIM is known for making great keyboards and they continue this tradition with the 8330. I do wish, however, the keyboard would seat into the device more solidly. The keyboard wiggles a bit with a slight "clicky" sound when keys are pressed. I feel the four function keys above are constructed better and maybe RIM could take cues from how these are put together.
Having large fingers made typing with the tiny keys a challenge initially. To overcome the challenge of typing I became Zen-like. I typed without actually thinking about hitting the keys. Once I began to realize how much easier typing is in a Zen state of mind I began to speed up and develop my BlackBerry Prayer Position: hands clinched, lips slightly moving almost mouthing a mantra, looking down in deep mediation…etc.
The T-Mobile 8320 on the right, you notice the pure black screen and
taller screen bezel on the 8330
Surrounding the screen of the 8330 is a beautiful rich-black plastic bezel. It gives a glass-like appearance and reminds me a lot of the T-Mobile Shadow or even the AT&T Shine. The bezel is also extended an extra ¼ of an inch higher completely engulfing the earpiece opening. The taller bezel gives you the illusion of a taller screen and a more stylish device. There was also the removal of two slightly raised plastic rails flanking the screen making the screen area appear smooth and sleek. All these changes give a more unified look to the device. When placed next to the 8320 you really appreciate the sophistication these changes have added to the phone.
Curve looking dark and mysterious
The 8330 is a solid 114 grams, a full 3 grams heavier than older Curves. I know it might not seem much but this device does feel slightly heavier. I imagine this difference in weight is due to the difference in radios used (GSM vs. CDMA). The phone has a solid feel and is well balanced, especially when typing. This added weight is nice, but I still think you can add some more weight. Maybe through the addition of metal side rails and battery cover. A little bling can go a long way.
Setup out of the Box…
Like most people I ignored all warnings about how to setup a new BlackBerry device, set fire to the manuals and just turned the thing on. Unfortunately on the way home from the store I got a call from Sprint CS phone saying they were having trouble porting my number to my new phone and it may take a few days. If I waited this long what's a few more days? No big deal.
The porting issue didn't affect the setup of email and other functions of the phone thankfully. I had a temporary number assigned so Sprint could sell me my Curve. My old phone was still working at the time so I was covered for communication. Porting ended up taking 5 days.
A side note about Sprint's CS: I know that many of you have your qualms about Sprint's CS, and I'll admit I was a bit cavalier with my ideas that CS isn't really important if things work. And even if they don't work how complicated can an issue get?
The most I will say about Sprint's CS is this: there is a vast difference between a helpful CS agent and a useful CS agent. It's one thing to have a CS agent telling you how they want to help you and another thing for that person to actually help you. An agent's heart may be in the right place, but that doesn't mean they are ever going to actually help you without a little help for themselves.
It seemed like with each phone call I would have to re-explain my issue and with each call I got a new reason as to why the port didn't go through. It resulted in me calling my previous carrier and telling them to get ready to receive a port request the port and then calling Sprint and telling them to send the request. After my own coordination of the process within minutes my normal phone number and my new Curve became one. I imagine I would have had a smoother port if I didn't use a third party carrier with a leased number on Verizon's network. Because of my situation I don't put all the blame on Sprint for my troubles.
Setup was easy through the setup wizard. I signed up my Yahoo! and work e mail accounts and provisioned the phone. Later I went to Sprint's BIS site changed my signature on outgoing messages and was set. I organized programs into folders and created my first self-imposed BB rule: I must be able to fit everything onto one home screen. If I cannot I either have to put the icon in a folder or get rid of it. The navigation of my home screen is all on one screen and if something is really important then I can program a convenience key to get to it (currently I have these two buttons programmed to open the application switcher and activate my key lock).
My home screen setup for easy nagivation
and a bPhone theme
I installed Desktop Manager on my PC and PocketMac on my Powerbook which is where my contacts were stored. It took a little coxing, but I got PocketMac to work seamlessly with the device. I have no idea when RIM plans to give a Mac version of DM but I have heard rumors that it would be sometime this summer. Rumors being what they are…I'm not holding my breath.
Included Software
Sprint really took the bull by the horns by allowing the user to have full functionality (with the exception of MMS). The GPS worked freely and Sprint installed, Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger and BlackBerry Messenger. Sprint also installs Sprint TV, Sprint Music Store, Software Store.
Choices, choices... most of the bigger chat applications come
on the phone. And others can be had for nothing or you can
pay for a 3rd party app.
Pocket Express is also preinstalled which is more of a store front posing as a software suite. It offers news, weather, travel info and many other tools, but this is all on top of the huge catalog of purchasable extras for your phone.
Pocket Express offers you a "taste" before pulling
you into the world of (gulp) purchased software.
Since I am on the SEP plan I get free Sprint Navigation which is, of course, powered by Telenav. You are also allowed to keep BB Maps and can easily download Google Maps. I find having all three apps is not redundant as they each work a bit differently. Google maps can access information quicker, but does not work with the internal GPS. BlackBerry maps will work with the internal GPS, but doesn't offer voice instructions or turn by turn navigation. You only receive a route summary and a path drawn on the map. You can see how lost you are, but aren't given instructions that will get you back on track.
Sprint Navigation powered by Telenav is a really great navigation program that will actually guide you to your destination with turn by turn voice instructions. You have full search capabilities like Google and BB Maps, but you also have real time updating of your progress and both 2D, 3D and Turn Icon "follow me" functionality. With Turn Icon you are given icons along with voice direction and no map. I like this option the most since the big icons are easier to follow on the Curves small screen. Also safer than watching a hypnotizing red arrow move on screen.
Sprint Navigation was an inviting program that really shaped
itself for my needs.
Sprint Navigation also works on my Bluetooth headset. Simply press the speaker button on your keyboard and you are given instructions through your headset. This is a lot better since the Berry's tiny speaker doesn't compete well with road noice. Pressing the space bar will repeat any missed instruction. Overall I really do like this service and at $0 a month the price is right.
I downloaded the bPhone Today, Icon and Zen themes and changed the background. The clown fish of bPhone were too distracting. I, of course, went to the CrackBerry WAP site and downloaded the CrackBerry desktop shortcut as well as Viigo. Viigo is great for managing your RSS feeds in one place.
bPhone themes with my homemade background
TV Guide Mobile's very useful interface
I tried Opera Mini but immediately realized the built in Berry browser is more than adequate for reading news articles, forum posts, and WAP enabled sites. With the BlackBerry Browser you have the option of Column View and Page View. The ladder shows the entire page on your device and gives you a tiny box to scroll to an area you want to blow up. From there you can switch back to Column View, which allows your device to wrap the text in a more useful layout for reading.
Sprint's EVDO network is speedy and I never found myself waiting longer than I thought I should to have a page load. When compared next to an EDGE enabled Curve you do notice a speed difference. I was disappointed, however, when I realized I could not take phone calls and receive email at the same time as EVDO does not support simultaneous voice and data.
The speed obtained from EVDO does come at a price. I think the EVDO technology utilized is constantly pulling info over the network so you do experience a quicker battery drain. From a full charge I can get a 8-12 hour day of normal call and browsing use. When my browsing was increased I did noticed a sharp decline in battery life. I would have liked for RIM to include increased battery capacity over the normal 1500 mAh.
Sound and call quality are very good. I received coverage in places where other phones had issues even with the same carrier. Calls came in loud and clear and I could use the speakerphone pretty comfortably without having to shout into it. Switching from a flip phone to the Curve was not at all uncomfortable. A flip phone gave me the reassurance I was speaking "into" the phone due to its slightly angled shape. Moving to a candy bar shape was a big transition as you are talking into air but a few phone calls relieved me of any apprehension.
I tethered both my PC and Mac to the data network with my 8330 via Bluetooth. The setup was easy and I was able to surf the web at limited speeds. But I see tethering coming in handy when I can't get to free Wi-Fi or some sort of connection. I don't know if Sprint charges or will charge for this. I know for normal accounts there is a $15 charge for tethering, but with SEP I am assuming that this is "unlimited" as well. We shall see on my first bill.
My posted speeds while tethered. This was good enough to browse.
I purchased an ARKON car mount with suction cup and vent mounting options. I opted for the vent since we have a law here in California preventing you from affixing anything to the middle of your windshield.
I have also installed my 8330 into a silicone skin and ordered a car charger. The silicone skin is made for older Curves and it does not accommodate the newly relocated LED of the 8330. I would like to see the new LED considered, but it isn't a deal breaker since the skin fits fine. The 8330 comes with the standard Berry sleeve holster with sleep magnet. It performs well and I would keep using it if it had a belt clip.
The new Curve has the newest Berry media player, but I really don't see making this my main audio device. The iPod is still the best at organizing and playing music. I was annoyed at the fact that you can't scan an mp3 at shorter intervals than 10 seconds and there is no podcasting iTunes support. I was impressed, however, that the Curve displayed the album art of my music.
The anticipation of a new device in your hands is always something that makes you a little crazy. The act of opening boxes, peeling off cling plastic covers and tossing aside instruction manuals gets my blood pumping. Ever since I took this device out of its box I have been discovering new things about it everyday. I have really come to appreciate the little things like pressing the first letter of a menu item highlights it and a space key that will enter a "." or "@" depending on what you are inputting, and the almost psychic adjustment of screen brightness depending on ambient light.
This device approaches perfection. And with new devices like the Bold, Niagara, Javelin, Thunder and KickStart looming I see nothing but a bright future of newly opened boxes and ignored instruction manuals. Besides. That's why we have CrackBerry.com and CrackBerry.com's Forums.
Great review Paul, I enjoyed it..you gave it from a "new BlackBerry user" expericence which made it even better..once again Nice work!!

Great review Paul....That too from a newbie with knowledge...Loved it...Now welcome to Bberry Nirvana....
Stonewall Jun 4, 2008 at 5:55 am
Great review Paul,
We parallel too much. I too carry the moto E815 and have been sitting on the sidelines studying the smartphone market through sites like CrackBerry.com. It's nice to get the view of the device of someone who is "fresh" to the BB phones. I would love to see a follow-up to this down the road. Heck who knows, maybe a guest on the CrackBerry Podcast with Kevin & Craig!
Again, congrats on the new device!

I was waiting for this review, a a newbie myself I hope they have one in stock . nice going.

do you miss calls if an email is coming in ? What happens on the other persons end a busy tone?
Bla1ze Jun 4, 2008 at 11:43 am
No you don't miss calls when an email is coming,however if you are on the device emails will not come in until you are off, but what I really think Paul was referring to using it as a modem in this case..so no other activity when being used as a modem.
pmjohnson99 Jun 4, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Yeah...you don't miss calls. As soon as you hang up your phone, however, your mailbox is flooded with any emails you would have come in during the call. I see this as being a problem if you are on an important business call and you are waiting for an equally important email.
I ran an additional test and figured out if you are tethered and you receive a call you connection is interrupted, but not disconnected. And I also noticed that the interruption affects uploads more than downloads. So I think you might be able to receive emails on a tethered computer while on a call. It is hard to say for sure with out a lot of real world testing.
MEMcKimmy Jun 4, 2008 at 8:34 am
I really appreciated this review. I too am currently a Moto e815 user getting ready to make the jump to a curve, so it's nice to hear from a user going through a similar experience.
My 8330 will be with Verizon, which will make some things (GPS functionality, installed software, etc.) inevitably different. I'll be interested to see if and how my experience mirrors yours.
webmeister Sep 23, 2008 at 10:03 am
What is about the Blackberry Curve that makes it a step up from the Motorola E815 in particular? I, too, was an E815 user until recently and just bought a Curve 8330 with Bell Mobility here in Canada.
I'd like to answer my own question by saying the heft, industrial design and general quality, all-of-a-piece feel is what attracted me to the Curve. These are also attributes of the Motorola E815. Not to say that the ability to consolidate my PDA and phone into one box wasn't an attraction! The jury's out on the MP3 capabilities, though, mainly because I'm a die-hard iPod user and very fond of the Apple UI. We'll see what improvements come down the pipe on that front.

Nice review, the only thing I'd add is that GPS should work in Google Maps, but the My Location feature will take precedence at first, so you have to allow Gmaps to access GPS information.
I have big hands too so I switched to the Pearl as it has larger keys.
pmjohnson99 Jun 4, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I have tried to set that option, but to no avail. I have read around the net that the latest version of Gmaps started doing this, so this might be an "upgrade" for the time being.
I would like to see maybe an older version of Gmaps on my 8330 and see if that is indeed the case. But since I got the phone after the update, I don't think I could find an older version. Honestly I think this way of navigating does speed up the process a bit. Gmaps is nice to get traffic summaries way quicker than Sprint Navigation. But of course you really can't tell where you are. 1700 ft in a city like Los Angeles could be an different zip code.
mcangeli Jun 5, 2008 at 9:01 am
When I upgraded the os on my 8310 and I reinstalled gmaps, it at first did the triangulation thing (my location with in 2300 meters).
What you have to do to enable the internal GPS is go to options, advanced, applications, gmaps, then edit permissions.
Under connections, you can either allow all, or allow Location (GPS).
By default, BB turns off this permission and gmaps uses the "default" way of finding location rather than the internal GPS.
Once I allowed GPS I got my location down to with in three meters (a big improvement over 2300) and can almost see myself when I'm sitting in my driveway....

I was trying to figure this out and realized that I was actually giving me my location, it was just also giving me the big circle saying my approximate location to play it safe.
Well I went online to look for some more info when lo and behold I find there is a new version of Google Mobile Maps! It is way better and works perfectly with the GPS. I get a location that is 10 meters within my location. It has a really good sat view and it updates as I walk across my house. It can even tell you what direction you are moving in. It also works faster and has both driving directions and transit directions! If you live in one of their select cities (40 through out the world) you can get bus and train info for how to get somewhere. Transit info also includes schedule information.
I would recommend it for anyone with GPS for their phone. Doesn't seem to have turn-by-turn, but definitely worth the bandwidth it takes to download.

I just got this Curve 8330 this past weekend, and LOVE it. I had the 8703e, and this is by far better. My only complaint is the battery life isn't as good as I would like, but that just means I have to charge it every night. I was so happy about this phone that my brother went out two days later to get the same one. haha.
celzey Jun 4, 2008 at 11:53 am
I just got my Verizon 8330 coming from a Treo. Your review hit it all and was great especially from a "newbie". Just a quick note, try out the PRO CLIP holders for your car. The absolute BEST I have come accross in many years and the Seidio cases for the 8330 are a perfect fit to all the holes, cameas etc.Thanks again for a great review
Hi-Definition Jun 4, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Even though the owners of the same device you have; know the sublime'ness of the phone; it's a great read for noobs and dinosaurs alike. Nice review.
Btw, what car do you sport...an Audi?
pmjohnson99 Jun 4, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Good eye Hydro. I sport an A4 Avant. Only think I don't like about the car is that it seems to be a ding magnet in parking lots.

By any chance, was your sales rep Belinda in the Sprint Pasadena store?
pmjohnson99 Jun 4, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Yes it was. It's actually the Pasadena Store on Foothill NOT the one in Old Town. Shout out to Belinda, she was really helpful and even called me weeks after we initially spoke about the phone. She was also very helpful in figuring out ways to get my SEP plan to work with my company discount.
Anonymous Jun 5, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Awesome. Shes a good friend of mine! I knew there could only be 1 girl named Belinda that worked at Sprint.
Great review. I also just purchased the Sprint 8330 Curve last week. I love it. Have you tried Sprint TV yet? I was actually surprised how well (not amazing ) the picture quality comes in. The only thing I have a problem with is the battery life. Being on AIM, constantly receiving emails and SMS messages and browsing the web does do a number to the battery.
pmjohnson99 Jun 4, 2008 at 3:27 pm
I have tried Sprint TV. I too was amazed at how well it worked. There were times when it would lag, but for things like Mobile CNN or any other live programming it's actually really cool. If I see a story on CNN's site, I'll go to Sprint TV to watch it.
Yea it does lag sometimes but if you are in a full service area it works amazingly. I was watching the NFL Network and was fascinated by how well the game that was on looked. Really an awesome feature Sprint has to offer.
pmjohnson99 Jun 4, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Thanks everyone for your great responses. I was telling Kevin that these things are a lot harder to write (and edit) then you think they would be. I really gained an appreciation for what people like Kevin and other bloggers have to do to keep a site running and with fresh content.
missadrienneg Jun 4, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Hey Paul,
Great review. I own an 8800 and have been dying to get my hands on a curve. I just purchased one although its not the 8330, but look forward to experiencing the difference in models. I miss not having the camera.
Speaking of Camera, you dind't mention much about the camera or video capabilities. Thoughts?
pmjohnson99 Jun 4, 2008 at 9:08 pm
I didn't mention the camera much because it seems to be the standard camera RIM is using with its latest phones. It's 2 MP with 5x digital zoom (odd increments only) and video recording ability. It's actually not a bad camera, but since it has been around for a while I really didn't feel it was worth mentioning.
It does have a crazy bright flash that really only seems to blind your subjects. It takes descent enough pictures. I would have liked for RIM to have made it the 3.2 MP that was rumored months ago, but they didn't.
serpico Jun 4, 2008 at 11:05 pm
I love my Telus 8330 Curve too. Very similar to this one except in silver. My wife loves hers too. Crackberry is my number one resource for everything. I think I'm going to shop for that suction cup holder so I can use my GPS more often.
dmevis Jun 4, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Thank you very much for the review. It was great. Frankly, I tire of Kevin's artificially sweat reviews of anything Blackberry. I hope that he learns something from your review.
pmjohnson99 Jun 5, 2008 at 4:35 am
Kevin's guidance was very instrumental in writing what I did. I did try to make sure it was well balanced, but Kevin was able to guide me to where it needed to go.
I got tired of waiting for the Curve to come to Sprint and bought the 8130 which is a Great device. That was in November of last year. I would rather have the larger screen of the Curve; maybe there will be a giveaway of a Sprint Curve somewhere and I'll win it.
Thanks again.
Guy from SU Jun 5, 2008 at 2:19 am
Great review! I think I'll also pick up one of the vent mountable holders for my car. Currently when I use the GPS in my car I let the phone sit on my lap. That holder provides a much better presentation and looks good too!
I just picked up one of the Charging Pods. Definitely $25 well spent!!
PhxBlue Jun 5, 2008 at 4:41 am
Nice write up! I always thought the original Titanium Curve was the sexiest... That was until you posted a side by side picture with the Sprint version. That Sprint version is BEEYOOTEEFUL!
Wonderful review! I really like how you customized the bPhone theme. Can you share blog/somewhere how to do that? I really like your second screen with Messages/Calendar/Call Log view. Is that theme just for your model? I downloaded the one for my 8310 Curve but I don't see anything like that screen.
Its always good to have a review done by someone that has done some real research on things == not just depending on what someone else (especially vendor) say about a product. User comments are always valuable and that's one of the things I really enjoy about the Crackberry web presence.
pmjohnson99 Jun 6, 2008 at 2:41 am
All I did was make a background I liked and subbed it for the default one that comes with the bPhone "Today" theme. You can do this on the phone by picking an image in your library you like and set it as your background.
parabola Jun 5, 2008 at 10:17 am
Hi, very nice review! I have an 8330 with Bell, but it wasn't until this review that I realized the placement of the LED differed on CDMA Curves. I love this phone so far, but one annoyance is that the LED is not visible when in the clip-on holster! I'm so used to it being 'on top'. Now when in the holster, it's useless.
Or maybe there's an OEM one specific for 8330 with a little notch to make it viewable ... I just got the generic 8300 one.
Davec66 Jun 5, 2008 at 10:42 am
This is not included in any pro pack or the simply everything plan. So watch your usage or you will get a big shock on that first bill. You don't need a plan to teather any EVDO sprint phone but charges add up fast at .03 cent per KB.
Sprints EVDO technology is the same Rev A technology used on their air cards, they both run at the same speed. However only work inside the data network. The advantage of PAM is you aren't required to purchase a card and sign a 2 year agreement and PAM is 15-30 dollars a month where Air card plans run from 40 to 60 for unlimited use. Sprint was the last to get the curve because of this technology and the abilty to record video that other curves don't have. Plans that offer free tethering are running at dial up speed, EVDO Rev A is 600-800KBS or comparable to DSL.
sprint rep.
I like the coment about helpful and knowledgable CS reps. Due to the creation of the simply everything plan, sprint hired on several thousand new CS reps in the last 6 months to handle the conversion of plans and they simply aren't as aware of every feature and cabability of a phone they have never held in their hand. If you have a Blackberry ask for blackberry support, these folks are trianed for BB and not part of the new hires.
pmjohnson99 Jun 5, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Actually the phone operates EVDO REV 0. The only phone Sprint has that operates on REV A is the Mogul (and the Touch if you hack it right). The new Palm 850 will be REV A also.
Verizon even says explicitly on their site their Curve isn't REV A upgradeable. I don't know if this is because they don't want to, or it just can't do it.
I hope the Sprint Curve will be upgradeable to REV A.
I'll have to see my bill if I am being charged. I have heard people not being charged and others being "surprised". We shall see.
Anonymous Jun 5, 2008 at 11:50 am
does anyone know what background is on the curve on the main screen....its kinda brown with a "sun" looking thing in the middle. Looks kinda cool

Well presented, Paul!!! I too just became a new BBerry user and I fine this phone quite impressive! I think lots of sprint blackberry users will appreciate your review.
curve 8330 Jun 5, 2008 at 12:53 pm
The only thing that i don't like about the new curve is that you cant send or receive MMS text.. everything else on this phone is great............
styxgroupi Jun 5, 2008 at 3:09 pm
I too have an 8330 but my carrier is alltel. I love it with a few excpetions well only thus far 1. No incoming video view it directs me to alltel's site to view from computer. Not real good if no puter is available. 2. The desk top manager version 4.3 locks up put everytime even after the normal uninsall/reinstall stuff. I was told it had issues and to d/l version 4.2 but not sure if it will change my BB OS. While I can MMS with alltel. Your review gets a heads up from another newbie!
Chapdaddy Jun 9, 2008 at 4:07 am
FWIW, while you can't receive push email while on the phone, you can send/browse emails while on the phone. While on a call,just hit the "ESC" key and the prompt comes up asking if you want to continue the call and exit to home screen. Select "yes" and then from homescreen,select your email option and browse messages or send messages as you like. If you have long winded callers,it's nice to be able to multi task on your mobile :) Great review, BTW,thorough and thoughtful.
pmjohnson99 Jun 9, 2008 at 5:10 pm
Yes, but you must make sure you don't roll and click too much. I was doing this and my wife realized I was reading emails when she could hear me selecting stuff.
BioGenecide Jun 13, 2008 at 4:32 pm
This review was exactly what I wanted to read. Thanks for the time you put into such a detailed review. Awesome job!!!
FitzCrisp Jun 13, 2008 at 10:11 pm
I am a recent convert from a Treo 650 (which now seems enormous!). Two complaints I have so far: First, attempting to send picture mail to someone caused several new gray hairs to develop. After stubbornly attempting and reattempting, I found a blog on Crackberry stating that Sprint specifically blocks that feature for the 8330. Weird, huh?
Next, my Treo had "Documents to Go" and I loved unfolding my little keyboard and typing real documents on my phone. I downloaded "E Office" for the 8330 and was completely disappointed. For those of us whose brains understand Word, Power Point, and Excel, the tree menu (and E Office in general) is clunky and frustrating.
If someone finds my comments are inaccurate, please help me! I am email@example.com.
toyotachick Jun 21, 2008 at 6:29 pm
I just recently for the curve 8330 through sprint and I am trying to send picture mail to a verizon customer and its not working. Can anyone help me out?
pmjohnson99 Jun 24, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Well, I got my first bill and there was no mention of any tethering or modem-ing being done, so I will assume that as long as you keep you tethering low you will probably be okay. I honestly haven't had much need to tether, but the option is nice to have.
LegendKBizz Jun 27, 2008 at 3:34 am
I was just curious. Sending Pics via e-mail can get kinda annoying and takes forever
Anonymous Jun 27, 2008 at 5:15 am
Just purchased the 8330 for sprint after looking and searching tirelessly for it (literally sold out everywhere, this is what happens when you wait a whole year after the phone is released to introduce it on your carrier SPRINT). And after having my now dinosaur 8703e, i am more than pleased with this phone. It's all i have dreamed of and more. Hopefully Sprint releases more quality BlackBerry's before they go under.
Greg McCoy Jul 4, 2008 at 10:12 pm
I have been trying for several weeks now to find a BB Curve for Sprint...the 8330. Our local stores, as well as Sprint itself, keep telling me that they are back ordered with no delivery date in sight......Any suggestions?
Anonymous Jul 11, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Sprint told me my best bet of getting one would be to order it online. All of the stores are out and no one could give me an answer of an approximate shipment. Mine is coming in the mail on Monday :)
Anonymous Sep 5, 2008 at 11:57 pm
I just recently ordered my BB Curve in Titanium from LetsTalk.com and it was free with a free SD Card. SO that was a awesome buy for me.
megaph0ne Jul 15, 2008 at 12:57 pm
also, if you paid $179 for it, heads up!
they just lowered the price to $149
call them back and tell them you want the extra $30 back
i did!
Dale C Jul 16, 2008 at 3:17 pm
So how is the Sprint service and stuff so far? I had Nextel a few years ago at the time Sprint and Nextel were merging. It was mainly for the walkie-talkie feature with my girlfriend, but I was on the UMD campus most of the time and the service was horrible. They told me they were 'updating the network' because of the merger. CS was horrible back then and I hear sprint/nextel are dropping customers like flies. It seems this phone is really nice, but I dunno if I want to risk being miserable on a 2 year plan.
Also to the OP, I work for the government. Were you able to get the 15% discount on the $99 unlimited simply everything plan?
Anyone know if Sprint will be getting the Bold?
pmjohnson99 Sep 2, 2008 at 2:16 pm
I just saw this and had a similar situation. I was not able to use my 21% work discount on the $99 SEP plan. I had to lower it to either the $89 or lower plan. It took a couple of tries, and I had to talk to our coroporate rep, but they were able to push it through. They won't do it for $99 though.
Sprint service is overall good, I do notice a lower reception quality from Verizon, I have coverage everywhere though. But I also noticed a difference with reception on my Curve on Sprint vs. another Sprint Phone. Possibly need to update their radio software.
krice13 Jul 19, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Great review! I saw you had skin issues with the LED light. It does suck that they haven't come out with OEM skins in all different colors yet for the 8330. I have an 8330 from Verizon and they actually sell 3 different color skins for it that are made specifically for the 8330, LED and all! Maybe you should check there! :-)
Jeremy G. Jul 22, 2008 at 5:50 am
Unfortunately Sprint does not honor any kind of discount for the SEP's. Not even the SERO or Customer 5% loyalty discount. Many reps stated that Sprint is offering such a "Quality Discounted Plan", that they will not give further discounts. Far as the BOLD, which I am also quite excited about getting as well. A very good friend of mine at Sprint swears that Verizon will get the Bold first, and a few months later Sprint will. She was not sure about other carriers though. It makes sense as well because RIM stated that Verizon will have exclusiveness is they make their sales quota. Which given their exceptionally high priced plans, doesn't seem likely far as Blackberry phones go.
Anonymous Jul 22, 2008 at 9:38 pm
I can't wait to get my Curve in a few weeks!
Telus has just released it in the same pink colour that the pearl comes in.
berryhater Oct 20, 2008 at 10:43 pm
This is the worst sounding phone you'll ever buy. And I don't mean on your earpiece. I mean on your callers end. Every single background noise is amplified to the point of almost being painful to your callers. It's so loud that it actually is drowns out the person actually using the phone. My wife was on hers with the kids playing in the other room and it was so loud it actually made me jump. I thought they were right in her face screaming and she said they were in the next room. It's terrible. If oyu read the forums there are tons of people with the same complaint but no fixes yet. This phone is HORRIBLE. If you're using this for business, you will be embarrassed to no end. This will lose you deals if you try to conduct business over this phone.
Anonymous Dec 15, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Did you try adjusting the volume? I know that sounds crazy but I haven't experienced that problem. I will admit when the volume is up you and the caller will be upset with the noise.

you go on crackberry.com and download free wallpapers...it is easier to email it to your phone..once you do that click on the applications icon to the left of the trackball once you see the picture and it will ask you if you want to save it as a walllpaper and that is it.

ive had my 8330 for a couple of months now and i love it. bar none the best phone i have ever had. i am a limo driver so the gps rocks. i love the sprint tv for when i am sittin in the limo doin nothin. im wonderin if there is a design flaw or if this is intentional. when i listen to the mp3 player or talk on the phone using the earbuds that came with the 8330 everything works great. when i am watching sprint tv i can not use the earbuds, why is this? i would love to be able to use the earbuds when watching tv. sometimes the speaker volume is not loud enough. is there software i can download or maybe an adapter i can buy? i welcome any info and ideas....................

I like my curve 8330, don't get me wrong, but I've only had mine for about 3 months and the ball you use to navigate around has already stopped working sometimes.

I have had Sprint phones before and never had a problem recieving emails. My new 8330 gives me a message that the email is too big and can't recieve it. Any suggestions?
amateriat Apr 1, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Well, I'm a bit late here, but I too have just moved from a Moto e815 (which seems to have a towering rep among their straight cellphones) to an 8330 (via Boost Mobile), and I'm certainly enjoying the ride so far, although I'm still getting to grips with a few of its more interesting features (some of the voice-prompts in the hands-free dialing setup need tweaking, among other things). REALLY glad to have just *one* device as a phone and PIM; glad to have the Web, e-mail and GPS along for the ride too, of course.
And, yeah, it's my first BB; a good friend got rid of hers because of the CrackBerry Effect (i.e. she liked hers a bit *too* much), but I think I can handle it just fine. I think...

Entertainment behind the scenes
Kiss Angelina? It's a hard job but someone has to…
Filming love scenes with Angelina Jolie would be a dream job for millions of men around the world — but her co-star in "Wanted" is not one of them. James McAvoy told In Touch Weekly that kissing Jolie was "not very nice".
"I can tell you what it was like to kiss her on a film set: It was awkward, sweaty and not very nice," said the Scottish actor. "There was angst involved in that, as always. I don't think Brad Pitt felt threatened for one moment."
Jolie and McAvoy both did find real love on the set – Jolie with Brad Pitt when filming "Mr and Mrs Smith" and McAvoy met his wife Anne-Marie Duff when they played a couple on a BBC drama called "Shameless!"

1. In the stance position, lean forward about 10-15 degrees upper-body tilt and flex your knees as to bring your knee caps directly over the toes of your bowling shoes.
2. Ensure your bowling shoulder is about one inch maximum below the level of your non-bowling shoulder.
3. If you have a curve or hook ball delivery, keep your bowling shoulder slightly behind your non-bowling shoulder throughout your approach, perhaps one inch lagging the non-bowling shoulder.
4. Avoid excessive shoulder-rotation back-and-forward while swinging the bowling ball.
5. Maintain alignment of the front-portion of your bowling shoulder toward your sighting target on the lane as long as possible during the approach.
6. Keep your head steady with your chin at or above shoulder level to help you maintain good overall balance.
7. Remain in your same athletic posture during your approach and while releasing the ball during the sliding step.

Carrboro's football team has improved consistently over its six-year existence. Its 27-19 win over their county rivals demonstrated this trend was likely to continue. The undersized Jaguars put up 453 yards of total offense against a deep Orange squad.
During the first quarter of Carrboro's Friday-night home opener against Orange High School, it was announced that Jaguar Stadium's old Porta-Johns had finally been replaced. A new fieldhouse, complete with 32 toilets, now stood where they had.
The sizable crowd was understandably pleased with this development, but not more pleased than it was with Carrboro's performance.
Alongside its stadium, Carrboro's team has improved consistently over its six-year existence. Its 27-19 win over their county rivals demonstrated this trend was likely to continue. The undersized Jaguars put up 453 yards of total offense against a deep Orange squad.
"It's great to beat a team like that," Carrboro head coach Jason Tudryn said. "A great opponent on a hot night when we're playing a lot of guys both ways."
Carrboro scored first, taking advantage of an early Orange fumble. Tobias Sales's 3-yard touchdown rush at the 7:09 mark capped the drive.
But the Panthers responded decisively. Jamal Pittman opened up the field with a 60-yard run into the end-zone, tying the score just a minute later.
Carrboro's Trai Sharp had a 15-yard facemask penalty tacked on to his 20-yard run on the next drive, giving his team another opportunity in the red zone. But the Jaguars couldn't convert and settled for a field goal from kicker Mike McPeak, bringing the score to 10-7.
A 40-yard bomb from Orange quarterback Sean Motely to Matt Gattis set up Patrick Pettiford touchdown reception from short yardage. Kicker Juan Torres' point-after missed just left, leaving the score at 13-10 as the first quarter ended.
Sharp, who rushed for over 200 yards on the night, made his scoring debut in the second period's first play with a 25-yard rushing touchdown.
"Our offensive line did a great job," Tudryn said. "They paved the way for him to have a great night."
But scoring stagnated until the final seconds of the half, when Carrboro's McPeak hit a 32-yard field goal, putting his team up 20-17.
Jaguar Quarterback Alex McVeigh found Malik Carrington for touchdown four minutes into the third, and when Carrboro picked up a muffed kickoff reception, the game seemed in hand. Each team committed another turnover apiece, and the score remained 27-13 as the game entered its final period.
With 7:07 left, Orange snapped its two-quarter scoring drought with another touchdown, though Torres missed yet another extra point.
Orange's momentum was interrupted when a Panther player went down and stayed down with 4:13 left to play. Orange, looking rattled when play resumed, turned the ball over on downs and never threatened again.
"There's a lot of times when it could have gone one way or another," Jason Tudryn said in the post-game huddle. "But we played with great passion. So enjoy this one. You don't get nights like this very often."

Practice, or "mock," interviews help develop strong interviewing skills. They allow you to practice responding to common interview questions, and they provide you with feedback from supportive observers. Mock interviews can help you work through the "jitters" and perform much more effectively during the real thing.
In a mock interview, you'll receive feedback on all aspects of your self-presentation--not only your answers but also your body language and appearance. Employers routinely comment that it's obvious when a student tries to "wing it" in an interview. Practice interviewing can help you send a more polished message and thus distinguish yourself from other applicants.
Our Effective Interviewing tip sheet is an excellent way to prepare for your mock interview.

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Cheap but enough.
Most stuff can't speak english ,because almost all costumers are chinese when i stay.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
At first, a little bit surprise about the place where the hotel is located, because it is on a street that is a little poor, but the hotel is comfortable. The staff speaks english, and you can meet young people from all over the world.
I recommend the hotel.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I have to say that i enjoyed. The location is really good, very central but a little bit far away from the undeground. The room was cleen but in the room close to mine people continued to watch tv until 03:00
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
I liked very much the hotel and the decoration used. The room was in the 4th floor, fantastic, with wood loft ceiling, with a proper shower.
In the room, behind the main door you can find 'warm reminders'. That is all right. But one of them was about bring pets to the hostel it is not allowed. The thing is that the owners have 2 little puppets very cute indeed but I think it will be a problem in the future if they will be running free as I saw those days. I was in the snooker table and I steped on a dog shit. And the confortable sofas in the resting room were to smelling. I hope this hostel will have the government licence soon because it took us, foreigners, more than 1 hour to register.

Packing up a Kitchen Aid mixer for a cross-country move
Moving across country soon, and I am trying to figure out the best way to move my Kitchen Aid mixer without damage. We are flying and hiring a mover for our stuff. I foolishly threw away the box it came in (took up too much space in my tiny apartment when I got it!) Anyone have any tips? I am thinking of wrapping it in bubble tape and tossing it into a box with a bunch of old towels or perhaps packing peanuts. Thanks in advance!
You could always have the movers pack it. That way if it is damaged, it is on them. I have moved several times and every time the movers did the packing, nothing was broken. Unfortunately, the same could not be said when I packed us.
I think bubble wrap and the towels will work fine. Packing peanuts tend to be a big pain in the neck. You could also wrap in bubble wrap and fill the rest of the box with old newspapers crumbled up. Good luck with the move!
wanted to bump this thread bc I too am moving a few states in a few weeks. I started packing my kitchen aid last night and i'm having a hard time. Medium box is too big and small box is not tall enough. i'm wondering if anyone has any tips.
i'm also a bit freaked out bc a few weeks ago my kitchen aid was dripping some kind of brown oily liquid from the part that connects to the attachment. i want to keep it upright, i guess. oh, i don't know!!
re: trolley
Hi trolley - I ended up having the movers pack it. They wrapped each peace in several layers of paper in a medium sized box, with other light things also wrapped in paper around it. There was a lot of paper involved, but the mixer took the cross country move and six months in storage beautifully. The box was marked "Heavy" and "this side up" and it was totally fine. Good luck with your move!

Six years of zipping around in my Mini Cooper (I named him Anderson Cooper) is coming to an end. It's time for a change. Sniff…
I'll miss the little voice in my head that squeals 'oh, you're so cute' as I approached you each and every time. I'll miss your seatbelt warning bop, your oval-shaped side and rear view mirrors (again, oh so cute). I'll miss the changeable interior 'mood lighting' (which, admittedly, I changed according to my own mood ALMOST each and every time). I'll miss parallel parking in teeny, tiny spaces and being the envy of all other normal sized vehicle drivers. I'll miss our road trips to Montreal and New York and all points in between. Most of all, I'll miss how everyone else gushes over you and wants to know what you're like to drive when they see me pull up (I actually loved that!).
Yes… you are a sporty, attractive, little go-carting, wonder machine!
But imagine driving a go-cart everyday for six years!? Yup. It's time…
Farewell, my dear Andy. May your roads be smoothly paved wherever your new owner takes you!
***UPDATE: I just realized that I'm really going to miss zipping around in my underground garage pretending to be in the movie The Italian Job. Sigh…

I met Eva Zeisel several years ago when she hosted a book signing here in Toronto. I loved her ceramic pieces and rushed to get in line that day, excited to meet a living legend. If I'm not mistaken, she was in her late nineties though you would never know it… her spirit and energy was undeniable. She died last year at the age of 105.
She summed up her role as 'maker of useful things'. She believed not in invention. But re-invention. She was concerned with making things look beautiful and she loved round, organic shapes. My favourite quote… "Even the air between my hands is round."
Her ceramics are pieces that you want to touch… hold in your hands… turn them over and around.
I won't go into detail here about Ms. Zeisel… Follow the link to her TED profile and you'll soon find out that she had an incredible life. I would highly recommend watching the video of her TED appearance too. You'll see what I mean about her spirit and energy.

After over a year of intense planning, and sometimes heated public debate, the Park District of Highland Park Board of Commissioners voted Thursday to approve the Rosewood Beach redesign proposal.
The unanimous vote means that the entire project will go forward, that has . The plan also involves a guard house, restrooms, concessions and a boardwalk. Construction is planned to take place in the spring of 2013 and the total estimated cost for the project is $4,661,372.
"As a business owner and a realtor… I can testify that a restored Rosewood will be a benefit to the entire community," Park Board Commissioner Elaine Waxman said before casting her vote in favor of the proposal.
The vote followed a two-hour-long public comment portion of the meeting, where many residents spoke passionately both in favor and against the plan. Most residents that argued against the plan said they favored all components of the plan except for the interpretive center.
"You have failed to provide any valid reasons for why the vote tonight should be an up or down vote," Ravinia Neighbors Association (RNA) Publicity Director Doug Purington said during public comment, urging the board to separate the interpretive center from the proposal.
Other residents that spoke on Thursday voiced their excitement about the plan's passage and its eventual construction.
"People have no idea how wonderful this is going to be," said .
Many familiar faces spoke before Thursday's vote, including Purington, RNA President Don Miller, and .
"A large majority of Highland Park residents are urging you to separate the controversial interpretive center from the plan and approve the rest," Tarm said.
At one of the evening's more heated moments, and a testament to how passionately residents care about this project, Tarm went over the three minutes allotted for public comment, and Park Board President Scott Meyers stopper her. Many in the audience booed, and Meyers threatened to end the public comment portion of the meeting.
"If you cannot behave yourself we will bring public hearing to a close," he said.
Meyers recommends work on Ravine Beach
During the public comment and throughout the yearlong discussion surrounding the project, many residents said they opposed the plan because the buildings and boardwalk would take away from the natural beauty of Rosewood Beach.
In a direct response to these concerns, Meyers recommended Thursday that the park district demolish the water treatment plant at Ravine Beach. Doing so, he said, would make that beach the natural, scenic destination some residents are looking for at Rosewood.
"My recommendation is that, in addition to proceeding with the proposal, we also demolish this waste treatment facility and establish a natural beach environment at Ravine Beach and Millar Park," Meyers said. "What a great opportunity... not even for a compromise, but to give the community everything that they wanted."
For Purington, however, the Ravine Beach suggestion was not what he wanted to hear.
"There's no compromise," he said. "It's not over yet."
Purington plans to continue his opposition to the proposal as it makes its way through the Park Board to the city's commissions and eventually the City Council.
"They've won the battle," he said. "We're hoping very much that they lose the war."
, who watched the vote take place along with Councilman , said he was looking forward to reviewing the project when it reached the City Council.
"I'm looking forward to reviewing the entire project from top to bottom," he said.
'Made for memories'
After the vote, Park Board Vice President Brian Kaplan said that while the opposition made some compelling points, he ultimately felt voting in favor of the project was the right decision for future generations of Highland Parkers.
"To the future kids of Highland Park, this will be a good project," he said.
Commissioner Waxman agreed. She said she was excited to have "a live beach again, where memories will be made."
"That beach is made for memories," Waxman said. "Hopefully, we'll get there."

Next year the U.S. Navy is scheduled to start operations of an Aegis missile defense system at a land base at Deveselu in Romania, representing the second phase of a four-pronged program known as EPAA (European phased adaptive approach). This is being undertaken to provide defense against ballistic missiles, with Iran considered the primary threat.
Missile Defense Agency
Raytheon's AN/TPY-2 X-band mobile radar is one of the United States' most powerful assets in the defense against ballistic missiles. That threat is an increasingly worrisome one: according to unclassified U.S. Missile Defense Agency data the number of such missiles outside the control of the U.S., NATO, Russia and China is around 6,300. That figure is forecast to grow to nearly 8,000 in the next decade.
On May 16, at the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii, a Raytheon SM-3 Block IB hit-to-kill interceptor was successfully fired by the Aegis-equipped cruiser U.S.S. Lake Erie at a separating short-range ballistic missile target. The FTM-19 test was not only the 23rd successful intercept for the SM-3 weapon, but the third consecutive success for the latest Block IB version. Having achieved three successful strikes in a row, the Block IB is now authorized for production.
Boeing said the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is the first payload customer for its Phantom Eye high-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aircraft system. On June 5, the Department of Defense (DOD) agency announced a $6.8 million contract modification with Boeing to incorporate an unspecified payload aboard future test flights of the aircraft.
In 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama announced a "phased adaptive approach" (PAA) for the missile defense of Europe to be deployed in four phases with a mix of sea- and land-based assets. A critical element is the Raytheon Standard Missile 3 interceptor, which in its Block 1A configuration forms the basis of PAA Phase I capability, which has now been implemented.
Late last month Israel Aerospace Industries and Boeing officials gathered to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their partnership developing the Arrow anti-ballistic missile defense system. At the same time, they announced an extension to the partnership, which at present is working on the Arrow 3 two-stage interceptor.
Lockheed Martin's Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system successfully undertook a sophisticated "two versus two" trial-firing last month, and the air defense system has just completed a final review regarding the possible sale to the United Arab Emirates, which could be announced imminently.
Having been developed in some urgency, Rafael's Iron Dome dual-mission defense system is now operational, and in April an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) battery proved its worth for the first time when several Grad rockets were intercepted after launch from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel.
It was always an ambitious plan: Develop the world's most powerful airborne laser, integrate it on a large airliner and use it to shoot down ballistic missiles at the most opportune time–during the boost phase. Go operational in 2007. But after spending almost $5 billion on the airborne laser (ABL) in 15 years, the MDA redesignated it as the airborne laser test bed (ALTB).
Are the nations of Europe serious about comprehensive ballistic missile defense (BMD)? Or are they happy to let America provide the only effective shield over their cities and populations? Despite a ringing declaration of intent at the NATO summit meeting in Lisbon last November, these questions remain unanswered.

I was nervous making these b/c there is a pricy restaurant we visit every blue moon that makes honey butter popovers...and its the only ones we like. I wanted to duplicate them but was worried if this recipe would be "the one." These turned out great! They were hollow, light and fluffy. I made some honey butter from this site, melted a few TBLS of it and brushed it over the hot popovers. Yeah!! I am very pleased with the result and would make these again! Be sure to grease the muffin pans well! Thanks Christine!
These turn out great every time!!! My husband and I love'em!!!
I've struggled to make just right popovers for years. I had finally given up, until I found this recipe. Turned out beautifully! I like to make the batter in the blender, making it very easy to pour into the muffin cups (but be careful not to overmix). And it's easily scalable to 4 or 8 popovers.

Porky cats go on post-Christmas diet
6:00am Monday 13th January 2014 in News By Anna Roberts, Crime reporter
Two not-so-slinky Siamese cats have started the new year like many of us – by going on a diet.
Podgy Cleo and Jasper were handed into Cats Protection's National Cat Adoption Centre in Chelwood Gate, near Lewes, in December after their previous owner could no longer care for them.
But they are hugely overweight and need to beat the bulge.
Jasper tips the scales at 7.2kg while Cleo weighs in at 5.2kg.
As a male, Jasper's ideal weight should be between six and 6.5kg, while girlish Cleo should weigh between four and 4.5kg.
They are currently on a strict diet to help get in shape while they wait to find a new owner who will need to continue to monitor their calorie intake.
Deputy manager of the National Cat Adoption Centre Tania Marsh said: "Cleo and Jasper are really lovely cats – friendly, playful and a lot of fun.
"When you think of Siamese cats you imagine them to be very slim and elegant, but Cleo and Jasper don't really fit that description. They are rather tubby and certainly need to shift a few pounds.
"Typically for Siamese cats they are very vocal and full of character so I can see why it would be easy to give into their requests for second helpings – their loud purrs and meowing can be very persuasive.
"However, their new owner will need to be firm and make sure they are not being overfed.
"Overweight cats are at a significantly higher risk of developing diabetes or arthritis and as it is impossible to make a cat exercise, the key to keeping them in shape is to monitor how much they eat."
To find out more about adopting Jasper and Cleo, please contact Cats Protection's National Cat Adoption Centre on 01825 741 330. Let us know if you end up giving them a home too, by calling the newsdesk on 01273 544512 or emailing news@ theargus.co.uk.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

The Last of the Light Brigade
There were thirty million English who talked of England's might,
There were twenty broken troopers who lacked a bed for the night.
They had neither food nor money, they had neither service nor trade;
They were only shiftless soldiers, the last of the Light Brigade.
They felt that life was fleeting; they knew not that art was long,
That though they were dying of famine, they lived in deathless song.
They asked for a little money to keep the wolf from the door;
And the thirty million English sent twenty pounds and four !
They laid their heads together that were scarred and lined and grey;
Keen were the Russian sabres, but want was keener than they;
And an old Troop-Sergeant muttered, "Let us go to the man who writes
The things on Balaclava the kiddies at school recites."
They went without bands or colours, a regiment ten-file strong,
To look for the Master-singer who had crowned them all in his song;
And, waiting his servant's order, by the garden gate they stayed,
A desolate little cluster, the last of the Light Brigade.
They strove to stand to attention, to straighen the toil-bowed back;
They drilled on an empty stomach, the loose-knit files fell slack;
With stooping of weary shoulders, in garments tattered and frayed,
They shambled into his presence, the last of the Light Brigade.
The old Troop-Sergeant was spokesman, and "Beggin' your pardon," he said,
"You wrote o' the Light Brigade, sir. Here's all that isn't dead.
An' it's all come true what you wrote, sir, regardin' the mouth of hell;
For we're all of us nigh to the workhouse, an' we thought we'd call an' tell.
"No, thank you, we don't want food, sir; but couldn't you take an' write
A sort of 'to be continued' and 'see next page' o' the fight?
We think that someone has blundered, an' couldn't you tell 'em how?
You wrote we were heroes once, sir. Please, write we are starving now."
The poor little army departed, limping and lean and forlorn.
And the heart of the Master-singer grew hot with "the scorn of scorn."
And he wrote for them wonderful verses that swept the land like flame,
Till the fatted souls of the English were scourged with the thing called Shame.
O thirty million English that babble of England's might,
Behold there are twenty heroes who lack their food to-night;
Our children's children are lisping to "honour the charge they made - "
And we leave to the streets and the workhouse the charge of the Light Brigade!
Almost 50% of the idiots living here voted for gore.
The civilians do not give a shit.
Have a nice day.

that was awesome....if it doesnt bring a tear to your eye, check for a pulse500 fights, that's the number I figured when I was a kid. 500 street fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate tough guy. You need them for experience. To develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then, after, you realize that's what you are.
I'm sending it to Everyone in Mine as well... I'm sure that my mom will have it sent to half the country within 45 minutes of reading it (once she stops bawling).
I may not have served, but it wasn't for lack of trying (long story). My father served 20yrs in the Army and retired as an E-7 in early 1984. My Eldest brother was a fuel truck driver in the USAF. My cousin drove a tank and was later a truck driver in the Army. Another cousin served in the Navy. I'm so fuckin' Pro-Military I make protestors flee..."Where's your towel Arthur?" -Ford Prefect

That was excellent, CelticCop. Thank you for sharing it.
I agree! That really hits home for me, since my son is serving in the Army. I'll be sending that link as well. I tried to give you some rep, but .... "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to CelticCop again" I'll have to catch you later.
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. - Leo Buscaglia
