NOTICED; They Got Mail: Not-So-Fond Farewells
By KATHERINE ROSMAN
Published: December 1, 2002
FOR three hours, Lincoln Ornston sat at his computer typing, deleting, rephrasing and searching for the words and tone befitting the occasion. After practicing law for nearly four years at O'Sullivan LLP, a Manhattan firm, Mr. Ornston understood the necessity of precise language.
When he had completed the document, which he had written as a mock press release, he e-mailed it to about 140 colleagues:
NEW YORK, NY (BUSINESS WIRE) May 31, 2002 -- O'Sullivan LLP (the ''Firm'') today announced the departure of Lincoln Ornston (''Shine'' or ''Uncle Junior''), the baldest, baddest associate to ever roam the halls of the vaunted NYC venture capital powerhouse.''
The memo continued for a page and a half in this vein, referring to two partners by name as ''tormentors,'' gently digging at law firm culture and quoting a Dickens character: ''the law is a ass [sic], a idiot.''
Mr. Ornston's was not the kind of antiseptic correspondence normally circulated among buttoned-down lawyers. But this was not an ordinary occasion. He was leaving O'Sullivan (which has since merged with another firm, O'Melveny & Myers), and this was his goodbye. Among the memoranda and spread sheets that make up most corporate communications, the goodbye memo -- mass-mailed to colleagues on an employee's last day -- has become a kind of mini-genre of its own.
Against the clear advice of career counselors to hold one's tongue and not send anything but contact information, many people are unable to resist waxing sentimental, self-indulgent or bitter, especially in the case of a layoff. This holiday season, typically a time of departures as executives collect year-end bonuses and move on, the sputtering economy seems to have created a thicker-than-usual stream of exit memos. They are forwarded from colleagues to friends to strangers, and sometimes to a reporter, in the way such things ricochet around the Internet.
''My mom always told me that hard work, loyalty and respect for others will bring me success,'' wrote Jusung Kwok, who was let go from Credit Suisse First Boston in late October. ''That's why I came back to CSFB after b-school . . . and did all that other stuff. Apparently it doesn't always work that way.''
A colleague, Neicy Ramos, was more circumspect, ending a note she wrote on Oct. 29 with the words, ''Though it is nice to be important, it's more important to be nice.'' (Ms. Ramos did not respond to a request for comment, and Mr. Kwok declined to comment.)
''With the advent of e-mail, people started writing rudimentary goodbyes to the entire organization, and after a while it became almost a contest, a game to see who could be the most creative,'' said Ilan Nissan, 39, an O'Melveny partner who has practiced law for 14 years. ''I suppose some see it as their last chance to take center stage'' among soon-to-be-former colleagues, he said.
Aaron Kribs, who was let go at Excite@Home last year, was direct and specific in his exit e-mail, perhaps more specific than his former employers would have liked, considering he sent it to dozens of friends in numerous industries. ''After having survived several rounds of layoffs, today was the day that my division closed its doors and gave us all our walking papers,'' he wrote.
When people leave a company, said Julia Gilbert, a recruiting consultant with the Oxbridge Group, ''it's a chance for you to either act your most immature -- to take advantage of this tense moment -- or it is an opportunity to act graciously and gracefully. If you exit in a pleasant way, your former colleagues and supervisors may want to help you in the future.''
Peter Vipulis, from Credit Suisse, was not subtle in describing the kind of help he was looking for, in his e-mail: ''I made 80K my first year as a temp and life was good. Life is still good, but I could still use the 80K.''
B. Joseph White, a professor of business administration at the University of Michigan and the former dean of its business school, said that when employees leave their jobs, ''aberrant behavior'' can result. He recommended a short, gracious e-mail, even when leaving on good terms. Of attempts like Mr. Ornston's to break the mold, he remarked, ''Don't try to be funny when you're not.''
But the desire to have the last word often trumps career consequences, perhaps because many people view the goodbye memo as a chance to show the world who they really are.
''The goodbye e-mail is the one e-mail that actually comes from that individual banker,'' said an investment banker who did not want her name used because she is negotiating her severance package. ''Everything else is the voice of the firm. The goodbye e-mail is personal, and it's coming at a very emotional moment. Whether or not you're quitting or getting laid off, you're leaving your job. It's a big deal.''
Bankers and lawyers at a range of firms have been known to maintain files of Hall of Fame departure memos. John Stephenson, a partner at Alston & Bird in Atlanta, has been collecting departure memos for 18 years. He has between 100 and 200 in a file called ''Fallen Soldiers.''

UPDATED: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 - 7:14pm
GILMER — Upshur County Commissioners Court on May 15 voted 3-1 to deny giving gasoline credit cards to constables.
County Judge Dean Fowler said Pct. 2 Constable Jason Weeks had told him he was having problems obtaining gasoline and was having to drive all the way into Gilmer to obtain it at the county's Road and Bridge Dept. When the pump there went down, Fowler said, Weeks had to charge gasoline on his own card and obtain reimbursement from the county.
Fowler said Sheriff Anthony Betterton told Weeks that the constable would need to get the court's approval to get a gasoline credit card from the Sheriff's Office because Betterton couldn't grant that on his own authority.

CF lighting god help
I've been trying to get this whole lighting this taken care of but I just can't find something to get the job done. the CF I currently have that is barely supporting my Cp's is only a 2000 lumen output and I cant find anywhere around here with bigger bulbs I'm not sure if light works in the way that I could add just more 2000 lumen bulbs? or would that not actually increase light intensity? please help me this sucks! and cp's hang in the balance!
Hello cmm889,
Adding more compact florescent bulbs or shop light tubes is the only way to ramp up the lumen output without a huge power bill. The expensive option is to order big metal halide lights of 300-400 watt range, the kind that are very hot and bright, putting out a lumen intensity of over 30,000 for a huge power bill each month.
A cheap way would be two double tube 40 watt florescent shop lights. Each tube produces 3000 lumens and lights up a 4 foot shelf area. All together, four tubes would provide 12000 lumens, which is just barely adequate for the more high intensity light plants. My Nepenthes and sundews are growing well under that arrangement and it even allows for Venus Flytraps to flower and produce seeds without dying (outside growing is always best for those though).
The energy saver bulbs can be used in groups too, but you will need to ensure that each bulb is within 5-8 inches from the plant according to how many bulbs you use and how light greedy the plant is. Try to get at least 5,000-6,000 lumens for lower light plants, like butterworts and Drosera adelae, and up to 12,000 lumens for Nepenthes and other carnivorous plants... more if possible with Venus Flytraps and Sarracenias. Light intesnity will be dispersed the farther the plant is from the bulb, so 12,000 lumens would provide miniscule light to plants if they are say a foot or more from the bulb, however, would provide a much greater intesnity if the plant is about an inch from the light. Adjust light intensity and distance to match your plants needs.

The lives that go in a circle
there is always something
that repeats itself , he walks
away as she stands there
crying is this the end?
How the love seems to
keep going no matter the
odds , she finds him with
another and she walks away
not giving a damn no not for him
is there still love there or is it gone?
They hold hands walking on
a beach with waves crashing
in the back ground , there love
cant be denied , she thinks of
another as she kisses him does
she know what she wants or is
she still searching?
Love it has many ways to
prove it thrives but for who
does it need to keep going ,
the lines are so blurred that
what was once wrong is now
He holds her tightly as a tear
runs down his cheek he says
he loves her , he then lets her
go to another that she desires
while he dies alone never loving
What is it that love holds
for you ? , love seems to be
a lie that always teases and never
satisfies , love my friend isn't for the
weak of heart because love can be more
dark than anything you can imagine.
this poem is about love and how it affects
so many people in different ways , love really
is simple but it can also be the worst thing
anyone can have so dont love unless you are
willig to take the risk.

Earth Cultures is hoping UK tourists will finally opt for a more cultural vacation in Dubai this Ramadan. But nobody's buying…yet.
June 19, 2011 1:57 by Precious de Leon
Fancy a visit to a city in 54-degree heat at a time when eating and drinking in public becomes a tricky tourist situation?
Well, UK travel agency Earth Cultures hopes you do. They've just launched tour packages of Dubai during Ramadan. An interesting concept for Kipp to wish the tours would be made available to residents, as well. Those who've been in Dubai long enough would agree that there are more than a few residents who remain uneducated about UAE culture.
The company's six and eight-day tours include areas in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Abu Dhabi, with guests staying at the four-star Qamardeen hotel in Dubai's Downtown Burj Khalifa area, according to an article on The National.
Stops include the Jumeirah Mosque in Dubai, the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, a number of souqs, as well as iftars and a cultural awareness session hosted by an Emirati. On one of the days, the programme even includes an iftar with a sheikh and his family at his home in Ajman—Kipp's personal favourite.
The tour is designed to give tourists a different view of Dubai—away from the glamour and mostly Westernised version of the country, according to The National article.
Fasting is optional and the tours are priced between £1,299 (Dh7,728) and £1,699, excluding flights.
Although Kipp thinks this is a step in the right direction, perhaps the timing may not have been so fortuitous. This year, Ramadan falls on the whole month of August—one of the hottest months of the year (too hot in fact that even the local and residents flee the country to seek cooler climates for, er, fasting).
While the Ramadan angle could help boost low hotel occupancy during this season, looks like Earth Cultures would be better off foregoing of the 'Ramadan' theme and just promote the packages as a year-round tour.
Considering the price, the time of the month, and the growing number of staycationers in the UAE, if you are resident, would you go for this experience? Or would you recommend this package to visitors? And if you're a potential tourist, would you consider this package?
1 Comment
Novel idea but totally at the wrong time of year, anyone who can leaves Dubai over summer, this year all resteurants and eateries will be closed all day for the month of August, there will be nothing to do all day until sunset except to wander around malls which have all the food outlets shut. It seems a strange time of year to promote tourism. People are sluggish and many sleep all day, locals will not be looking to reach out to visitors at this time, especially non Muslim one, and its best to avoid driving on the roads during fasting hours. All the events mentioned in the article will only take place after sunset so there will be very little to do all day with nowhere to eat publicly and its way too hot for the beach in August!

Solange celebrated her 25th birthday at Lavo rocking Alexander Wang's $839 Drape Detail Dress:
She completed the look with a high ponytail and $850 Reed Krakoff Bridle-cuffed leather and python sandals (perhaps a gift from sister Beyonce?).
Her ivory toned sleeveless dress has nude toned crossover drape detail paneling, a v-neckline, and gathering and ruching at the back.
Do you like her look?
If so, get her original dress plus a version for less here:
She looks so cute! Love the entire look–hair, dress and shoes!
Dare I say it- I like the Poetic Justice braids more than anything.
I like the dress but her long braids kind of ruin the outfit for me. I dunno it would of been way better if she put her hair in a high bun to the side but instead it's just super long. It's a nice look but the hair just throws it off a bit.
I like the shoes.
The dress is nice and so are the shoes. A bun would've been a better look for the hair.
I love Solange's style! Simple, elegant, and chic.
She looked FAB!
I agree with Gemini…the braids seem to weigh her down… the dress is fab though
I agree with the long hair weighing her down.. short hair would have looked better!
Please leave those box braids in the 90s, love the dress though
PS Could someone please remind me exactly what it is that Solange does again?
Not liking this look–at all…
My Sol Angel, what have you done………..with your HAIR???!!!!! lolol #nolordjeezuuuus
Love the dress, undecided about the hair.
that hair really takes away from the dress. The dress is cute, but it's not being worn right. I wouldn't have worn those shoes with it either.

Strange property line issues
We finished building our house about 7 months ago. I posted quite a bit on the building forum during that time.
I have a situation concerning one of my neighbors and our adjoining property line.
We bought 6 acres in 1999. It is a long and narrow piece of property. The property line in question is approx. 879 feet long.
When we bought the land, we planted leyland cypress trees to create a future privacy screen. We planted over 100 trees. The land next to us was still for sale. We planted the trees 8 feet into our property line to allow for growth and spaced them 8 feet apart. This way the trees would not be crammed on top of each other as I have seen in other areas.
The land next to us sold a couple of years later.
Fast forward to 2004. We start to build our house. Our Leylands are about 12-15 feet tall and are doing great.
One day while out at the building site I noticed the neighbor planting leylands next to ours. He planted some
right on the property line and several were on our land. He planted the Leylands 2-3 feet apart. Leylands grow 60-70 feet tall and 12-15 feet wide!
He also began to cut down beautiful hardwoods trees to plant leylands. He cleared out a large portion of oaks, maples, and poplers.
Our leylands will touch and create total privacy within 3-4 years.
After we moved in the house, I would see him planting more and more leylands. I very nicely told him some of his leylands were on the property line and some were on our property. I suggested he move them back on his line as to create a better air flow around the trees. Leylands have problems with bagworms and spider mites and need some space between them. I mentioned we would have the property line remarked. He moved the trees 18 inches.
I just paid $200 to have the lines remarked. While examining the property line markers, I noticed the neighbor had cleared some of our land. In one area he encroached our land by about 3 feet. He cut down several poplers that were on our land.
This is the strange part. This area had some heavy shrub growth. Our Leylands are only about 4 feet tall due to less sunlight. My neighbor decided to plant more little Leyland cypress trees in between our trees. He knows this is our property. My husband did not believe me. He said they must be trees we planted 6 years ago that did not grow.
Well, I showed him the trees and pulled them out of the ground. The roots were fresh and shaped like a 4" pot.
I can not tell if when he cleared his land he may have accidently run over some of our trees and decided to replace them and not tell us. I can find no evidence of our Leyland cypress trees being accidently mowed so I have no clue as to why he decided to start adding trees in between our trees.
When he cleared his hardwoods we now have a direct view of his house. His house is built about 300 feet away in the woods. We do not understand his obsession with his leyland cypress trees and our property line. He has ignored the rest of his property. There is trash all along the front of his property.
I am at my wits end with all the problems with my builder and our house and I just do not want to deal with this neighbor again. My husband has agreed to talk to him this time.
My other neighbor just loves our trees and has left everything alone.
Thank you for letting me vent. The whole thing is just so strange and it is adding to the tension of this whole building process.
Sorry to hear about this LSST. I know you have had your challenges with your build. All I can say is people get weird when it comes to property lines. Our neighbor dug about 6 huge holes 30 yards into our property to plant some trees. She wanted to block our house from their view. We put up a fence and she hasn't meddled on our property since. We just have these huge holes to deal with. What are these people thinking? I guess I would talk to the guy and/or put up a fence if you can.
Thanks Margerie.
When the land was remarked yesterday, I was not home. When I returned the front of our property was marked 20 feet in from the road for the full length of the property. There were wood stakes at these pins marked "property corner".
I called the survey company and mentioned we thought we owned to the road and was told that someone else owns that 20 foot x 300 foot strip in front of your property! Well, I was quite upset thinking about right of way issues and just who could own this strip of property. I had major landscaping plans for it.
Back when we bought the land, we had an attorney do extensive research to make sure all right of way and access to land issues were accurate.
I had the survey company back out to question the front and thank heavens they found two more pins at the road so we actually do own the 20 footx 300 foot strip.
So, when I wrote my message last night not only was I dealing with this strange neighbor and his trees but I thought someone else owned the land we thought was ours!
LSST- wow. sorry to hear of your troubles. we are having similar if not smaller issues w/ property lines & trees being planted, and trespassing on one side (an issue because federal law prohibits cutting of wetlands fauna and our neighbor still continues to think that our land is their land...but now WE would be liable for his cutting & clearing). it's weird... our neighbors on the left and the right still feel that our property is a 'commiunal' property. it is rather awkward at times. in our case we are installing split rail fences on each side for now. i feel this is a nice if not upfront way of setting boundries without being so obvious. (would love to do a row trees like you, but we do not have the room, and the neighbors on each side already planted tall psipheas (sic?) when we went forward on purchasing the lot 4 yrs ago.
if all does not go so well (and we have major privacy problems on one particular side. read: we are in a fishbowl!) we might have to install a larger stockade fence. this might have to be a solution for you?? hope you can sort it out otherwise.
congratulations on your build - best wishes for this latest bs.
Nokeysyet, I would love to do a split rail fence but I can not talk my husband into it yet.
My husband thinks that why put up a fence if in a couple of years our trees will grow together to form a privacy screen.
It is amazing how many people have problems with their neighbors and property lines. Mine seem little compared to you guys.
Tonight about 8:30 a tree service truck passed our house and turned into the neighbors driveway. I wonder what trees are to be cut next. sigh.....
Mee Too,
We paid $200 to have the property line remarked and extra pins added. I have left the wooden stakes up.
The trees are planted about 6 inches from the line. We suggested he move the ones directly on the line ( before we had the lines remarked). He moved them 6 inches back!
The trees are only about 2-3 feet tall and are already crossing over our line and crowding our Leylands which we planted 5 feet into our line.
I pulled out the trees he planted amongst our leylands.
Every Sat, I hear the chain saw. He originally built in the woods but apparently decided he no longer wants the trees near his house. Our house is about 400 feet away and even with all the summer leaves we now look directly into his garage. I am sure this winter with all the leaves gone we will see the whole house. (sigh)
OT, I used to post quite often on this forum but after 8 months in our house we still are having a time even getting our builder to complete the 30 day punch list.
We still are having problems with getiing our scratched windows replaced. ( another long thread-along time ago when the window washers hired by our builder scratched 16 windows).
We have a failing paint issue on our exterior wrought iron-minor hardiplank issues-electrical issues- air infiltration issues- carpet issues etc.
I am so sick of waiting on contractors who do not show up.
I have 4 months left on the one year warrenty and now have to begin a more aggressive approach. If these items are not repaired within the one year mark, I am retaining an attorney and filing a complaint with our state licensing board.
Sorry for the vent

alright for my first go at this with a kit i am making a grape blueberry pomegranate wine.
also just for info i believe 3 cups of corn sugar to be about 1 LBS
2 Gal of grape juice
2 qts blueberry pomegranate juice
i couldn't find and wine yeast so i just went with mutons not for sure which one
so my SG got higher than i expected because i added more sugar than i thought, little brain fart the SG was 1.102. good news though i am wanting to make a semi sweet wine, but i am not for sure where to stop it i dont really understand the sugar percentage yet.
so for this i added 4 LBS of corn sugar.
any advise on acid and enzyme would be great, heck any advise on this at all would be great. after its done fermenting i am going age it in the carboy and start on my batch of dark ale.

Reina: No Rodgers issues
Check out the movers and shakers in our Club Power Rankings list.
Pepe Reina is adamant he has a 'very good' relationship with Brendan Rodgers and is confident that Liverpool have the makings of a 'great side'.
Goalkeeper Reina has struggled for form and fitness at times this season, and that has prompted speculation he could be sold by Rodgers in the summer.
However, the Spain international has no problems with the Liverpool boss and is pleased with the direction that the team are heading in under Rodgers.
"My relationship with the manager is very good," Reina said in the Liverpool Echo. "I think we have got a lot of ideas in common. There is understanding about tactics and the way we see football is quite similar.
Get the latest rumors as the biggest clubs try to bolster their rosters.
"I am very happy with our manager.
"He is making sure we are learning every day the way to win and that's important. If we play good football then we will be closer to winning games.
"There's no doubt I am more involved with my feet than before but so is the team. The amount of passes in every game is going higher and higher compared to last season. It's a different style and philosophy - I am happy about it.
"I think given time and as long as the players follow him it will be good. It will become a great side - one which is difficult to beat."

Peach Tree Shoot Strike (Twig Flagging)
Hi everyone, I just noticed the new growth at the tip of my peach tree is drying. the new leaves would lose vigor and then just dry up.
After some research, I think I have twig borer problem, can anyone confirm? I already applied dormant spray in winter but that didn't seem to help prevent the borers from chewing up the new shoots. Also I live in Canada and our provincial government has banned the use of pesticide so I can't really spray anything.
I bought Bacillus Thuringiensis (bt) spray from Ebay, I hope border custom doesn't block it, do you think this product will be helpful? When do I spray and what are other organic pest control methods I can try? thanks!
products like Sevin, malathion, spionsad, even neem oil are banned for home use. But they are still allowed for commercial operations.
here are some links from government website
this ban is frustrating because I have limited products at my disposal to keep my backyard peach tree healthy.
Bt is supposed to be more environmentally friendly, but I am getting it shipped in from the states.. hopefully I get it
Did you receive your spray yet? Did it kill the infestation?
A few of my peaches and nectarines are affected with the same thing, peach twig borers. I actually saw two of the black little flies (and squashed them), so I'm pretty sure mine is infected with the twig borers not the moths, but maybe both.
My local nursery suggested I get Neem oil, which I bought yesterday but didn't apply because it rained all night. Does anyone know if neem oil will work?
Also, I heard about a Bayer systemic insecticide that will work for a full year after applying it to the soil, but read somewhere that the Bayer stuff causes CCD in bees. Can anyone confirm this? Does it make sense to use both a foliar spray application and systemic application to the soil?
sorry for the late reply, yes I got my BT and it worked! My tree has put out new growth with no sign of damage. So either BT really worked or the oriental moth went somewhere else.
I heard oriental moth and tree borers cause similar damage on young shoots, since i did not see any black flies I would assume my tree was attacked by oriental moth.
I am not sure if neem oil works (it's banned in my province anyway), but BT seems to be doing its job!

Sewer liner opinions
Hello, I am in need of repairing 2 spots of my sewer lateral line, one spot in the roadway and the other spot in my yard. The unfortunate thing is my yard is a steep hill. An option we are going to fix the yard repair with is a cured in place liner, so I was wanting to know if anyone has gone with this repair of is familar with it. It makes a lot of sense and all my research on the net sounds like it is a very viable solution to digging and has a pretty good life expectancy.
I know most sewer companies want to dig but given that the repair would be in a steep hill, I can some real challenges keeping the erosion down as we are approaching fall so grass seed will not have a chance to establish roots and I may not even be able to buy sod this late in the season. Any opinions appreciated, thanks!

Saltillo 75, Jefferson 20
The Lady Lions got 21 points from Victoria Stretcher and 16 for Brooke Lane as they rolled to a 75-20 win Tuesday over Jefferson.
Saltillo 75, Jefferson 20
The Lady Lions got 21 points from Victoria Stretcher and 16 for Brooke Lane as they rolled to a 75-20 win Tuesday over Jefferson.
The Sulphur Springs Lady Cats were hot and cold in their season basketball opener.
At times the Lady Cats were blistering the net from 3-point territory. Other times the visiting Lady Lions were in command.
When the smoke cleared it was Greenville taking a 46-39 win over Sulphur Springs in the season opener for the Lady Cats.
GRAND SALINE – Those salty tears stung. The Cumby Lady Trojans saw their hopes at advancing turned over to the Overton Lady Mustangs Tuesday night.
It took four tightly fought games before a winner was declared with final results of 25-15, 19-25, 25-21, and 25-21. Cumby came out in the second game to take the early lead and held it in their only success of the night.
"Our immaturity and youth showed," said Cumby Lady Trojan head volleyball coach Shelley Jones. "We got down in the first game and couldn't recover. It was like a deer in the headlights reaction. It was just a different atmosphere."
Now the big games really start.
It's the playoffs... the time of year coaches call the third season.
First came the preseason, the Wildcats passed that test with flying colors. Sulphur Springs went a perfect 4-0.
WINNSBORO – It will be a game of tri-champion versus co-champion. Not necessarily, David versus Goliath but both teams have come a long way since the beginning of the season.
On Thursday, (6-4) Winnsboro Red Raiders will travel to Norris Birdwell Stadium in Canton as the visiting team to challenge the (8-2) Malakoff Tigers in bi-district playoff competition.

Phone works great at home and around Ferndale. Barely get internet at work(9&Hilton) when I'm inside. Outside the building it works fine. Had Sprint before and switched to T-Mobile about a year ago. So far, T-Mobile has blown Sprint out of the water.Was this review helpful to you?
Terrible Service, 4G practically none existent, my text messages are often late. Echoes often. My family and I have been with Sprint for over 13 years. It is time for a change.Was this review helpful to you?
Horrible reception better off with Skype or Google voice over Internet. If you like having 1-2 bars max, dropped calls, sounding like you are in a tunnel, and static that reminds me of analogue phone calls use AT&T. Change your service ASAP!Was this review helpful to you?

In the house, I get decent service, except when there is a major event nearby. During Arts Beats and Eats festival, I had no service for hours at a time during the four day event. Tonight I am at 12 Mile Rd in Royal Oak and have zero bars, keeps dropping calls.Was this review helpful to you?
I am fed up with Sprint! I am traveling to my friend's ranch in Montana and was told by my carrier, Sprint there are no towers out there and would have no reception. This is outrageous! I told them in July traveling back from Montana I had no reception for 4 Days! What is the sense of paying a monthly cell phone bill and you can't even utilize the cell phone! I am fed up with Sprint. Yes, the person was right that said "Sprint Sucks" - it does. Do NOT switch to SPRINT - you will be very sorry.Was this review helpful to you?

Fine reception in terms of bars, but the calls drop constantly and fade. Fine for texting, and terrible for talking! Very frustrating. Verizon worked fine at this location.Was this review helpful to you?
If you're from Detroit's west side, specifically the Warrendale area, and you're considering T-Mobile, please don't. The cell service is absolutely awful and virtually nonexistent. I frequently visit my parents who live in Warrendale, and when I visit, T-Mobile has absolutely no service in the western neighborhoods. I find this completely ridiculous and unacceptable. You mean to tell me that a major cell service provider does not have any service in a major metropolitan area?! I've called and complained and T-Mobile never helped at all, forwarding me to call centers over seas where I can barely understand the foreign call center representatives. I understand that it's not the representative's fault, and all they can tell me to do is turn off my phone, take the sim card out, and restart it. I do so and I still get no service. Furthermore, after enough complaining, T-Mobile said they'd send out a technician to install some type of cell phone booster that would be plugged into the wall of my parents house. The date came and went and no technician ever showed up, and T-Mobile didn't even call me to inform me that they wouldn't. I have a second phone, a Metro PCS, and that cheap service provider gets much, much better service than T-Mobile. To conclude, T-Mobile's cell service and customer service is completely unacceptable and absolutely pathetic. I tell everyone to never, ever consider T-Mobile if you live in the metro Detroit area, because besides downtown, you will not get consistent, strong service anywhere; and in the west side Detroit neighborhoods you will get no service at all. Consider any other service provider besides T-Mobile.Was this review helpful to you?
No service at all today, although my phone shows 2-3 bars. Phone keeps dialing, then finally says "Network busy". Can't find any info online about an outage.Was this review helpful to you?
I have had Sprint service for over 10 years. They were the best BEFORE they merged with Nextel. Since the merger the service has been up and down. I have had a lot of different phones and it depends on the phone and the area you live in that determines your reception. All the companies know this and they should recommend phones that works best in your area.Was this review helpful to you?
im wondering why my reception on my phone ant working properlyWas this review helpful to you?
4G Coverage at my house is pretty good with me getting 3-4 bars all the way from my basement to my attic. I have occasionally dropped calls with an older 3G Android phone though. Being a WSU student 4G coverage on campus is much better than 3G for some reason. I get better coverage in fringe areas(basements). In some buildings I get 5 full bars even in the center of campus. I'm beginning to think WSU has repeaters on campus to improve cell coverage.Was this review helpful to you?

Musical Refections on Henri Matisse's Jazz Series
Saturday, January 17th @ 7:30pm
You are invited to attend a splendid evening of jazz, (in which, as described by one concert goer, "you feel as if you are in a New York City jazz club, and can't believe you are right here in Bristol"), in a performance by two extraordinary musicians, Chris Bakriges, the composer and pianist on the Baldwin grand and Stanely Chepaitis on jazz violin, as they present an evening of original jazz compositions entitled: "Musical Reflections on Henri Matisse's Jazz Series."
These original compositions were created when Bakriges came to appreciate that the late artwork of Henri Matisse was inspired and influenced by the then still young musical idiom of jazz. Too ill to paint, but still able to maneuver scissors through prepared sheets of brightly colored paper, Matisse created art that he described as "painting with scissors." The artist referred to the ideas of rhythm and repetition with bursts of visual improvisation to create. He appreciated in musical jazz "the talent for improvisation, the liveliness, the being at one with the audience."
Bakriges and Chepaitis, each holding Ph.D.'s in their respective musical fields, have been founding members of a number of performance ensembles and both have performed internationally. Their performances are characterized by experience and mastery, a joy in performance and finding the creative spark. Rich in melodic, harmonic and rhythmic improvisation, and through live performance, such as on Saturday, January 17th in Bristol, the sound palette generously created by these musicians becomes part of the continuum of the ever-evolving invention that is jazz. As the great jazz musician J. J. Johnson once said: "Jazz is restless. It won't stay put and it never will."
An elevated aspect of the performance of these particular original compositions is the joy a composer of original works experiences when creating in real time with another high level musician and sharing this work in the moment with a live audience. This is the best possible experience for a musician. This is the essence of jazz, - in which music is being created fresh before your ears, - and the audience necessarily becomes part of the music.
Bakriges and Chapaitis have performed this program "in front of" some of the original Matisse Jazz scissor cutouts at the Indiana University Art Museum during a Matisse Exhibit in the spring of 2014, a program the curator described as "the favorite program the museum has ever presented. "While Matisse originals will not be hanging in the WalkOver Gallery during the performance on January 17th, images of the work that inspired respective compositions, (technology permitting), will be projected during the live performance of the original jazz compositions.
Please share this information of a very special evening with folks who might be interested.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 on the day of performance. Reservations and information may be found at (802) 453-3188 x 2 or

The IU Art Museum's complete suite of color plates from Henri Matisse's Jazz is featured as a special addition to the exhibition Matisse, Life in Color: Masterworks from the Baltimore Museum of Art on view at the Indianapolis Museum of Art through January 12, 2014. When the prints return to Bloomington, they will be the centerpieces of their own special exhibition.
On Sunday, May 25, the final day of the exhibition I, along with bassist Jeremy Allen from IU's Jacob School of Music, will perform the Matisse Project: Teaching the Eye to Hear, my compositions inspired by the scissor cuts of the 20th century's great colorist in a series he collectively called Jazz. Jeremy's credits are long and include working with Bob Brookmeyer and Kenny Wheeler. The performance will also include historical interpreter John Moore reading excerpts from the artist's own words.
For more information and reservations contact the IU Museum of Art at 812-855-5445.
Musician inspired by Matisse's 'Jazz'
CHICOPEE - The sick-bed "painting with scissors" paper cut-outs French painter Henri Matisse created before his death and the text that accompanied them when they were published in 1947 inspired Elms College music lecturer and artist-in-residence Christopher G. Bakriges - a pianist, composer and educator - to create a musical reflection on the work.
"Teaching the Eye to Hear: Musical Reflections on Matisse's 'Jazz'" is Bakriges' musical interpretation of the artist's visual images. His son, violinist David C. Bakriges, is featured on the CD.
The series of 20 Matisse plates, collectively called "Jazz," "really stimulated me to look at his composition, form and color and really respond to that in a musical way," Bakriges said. "I could see what he was doing in my mind's eye and really respond to it musically."

Facing nearly a half million dollars in cuts this year, and the prospect of another $1.5 million the three following years, Perham-Dent school officials are starting to aim the axe at specific budget items.
"Death by a thousand cuts...that's what it is starting to feel like," said School Superintendent Tamara Uselman Feb. 11.
