Verizon Sniffing Around iPhone 4G?
According to the Wall Street Journal (via Apple Insider), Verizon thinks that technology may finally give them a chance for a second bite at this not-at-all proverbial Apple after all. At least CEO Ivan Seidenberg really, really thinks so.
Ah, Verizon. First you said, "no thanks!" when Apple offered you the original iPhone. Then you thought you'd just wait for Steve Jobs to disappear and take his iPhone with him. Despite a huge segment of your users still clamoring for the iPhone, you gave them the BlackBerry Storm instead. When that fizzled, you looked to Nokia for an "iPhone Killah", but ultimately asked your customers if they would have stayed for the iPhone you first rejected.
Now you see a chance for redemption in the next generation 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) network technology that GSM carriers like AT&T and CDMA carriers like Verizon are both racing towards.
Will Apple end exclusivity with AT&T to grow into other user bases? Will Verizon get its second chance? Hey, if all else fails, at least domestic unlockers may appreciate an option other than T-Mobile for future generation US iPhones, right?
There are 54 comments. Add yours.
If VZW get the iPhone I will happily go back... Att sucks in metro Detroit I got 2 of every txt message got text delayed by hours and dropped 3 calls 6 years with VZW droped maybe 3 calls... Wouldn't trade my iPhone for anything though bring on next gen
yea AT&T is testing 4G now. they said hopefully comercially available by end of 2010 or early 2011. plus AT&T and apple are in works to extend the exclusivity deal. trust me it'll b like the sidekick. we all think it'll eventually spread out. but it ain't going anywhere unless you unlock it. and u can't use verizon for that.
If you look at coverage maps then you'll see that nobody has a true nationwide network. There are parts of the country that all carriers miss. Not that there's value to covering Death Valley, etc. but if the measure is 100% coverage of the US then the answer is no. 3G coverage? Not even close yet.
LTE is going to be here 2 years from now. It will start out like 3G and EVDO - in major markets first and then rolled out to other areas of the country later. Handsets will be like the current iPhone 3G - duel radio so it can handle LTE in LTE markets and switch to 3G in 3G markets (provided that 3G displaces EDGE by then). I would not expect full LTE for another 5-6 years. By the time LTE is upon us get ready for the next great thing beyond it. In the meantime, there's still going to be WiMax (currently in 16 states).
Heh, I missed that article about Verizon asking former customers about the iPhone. Well they didn't ask me, although that's the answer I would have given. Verizon still seems to have superior coverage, but AT&T doesn't suck as much as they used to, which almost makes it worth it for the sake of having GSM.
Of course in the future if they both are using the same 4G technology, that completely changes things, and both companies have an equal chance at being the one to upgrade more of their towers first. All other things being equal, I still think Verizon is a tiny bit more evil and/or incompetent when it comes to phone selection, but maybe things have changed. The other day my mom asked me to help her get photos she's taken on her flip phone onto her computer. I figured it would require hacked firmware to do something as brazen as access her own files, and was shocked to find the phone came with a fully working OBEX profile. So I guess there's hope for Verizon.
I hope Apple tells Verizon to get lost - just as I wish they would tell Windows switchers over 40 years-old to get lost. They all thought Apple was a joke? Fine! Rot in H€ll! :lol:
Revenge should always be more important than money. ;)
I left verizon a month ago for the iPhone and the coverage is fine here in Charlotte, NC. I'm very pleased with the iPhone.
Steve, the funny thing is that many people I know would consider buying an iPhone (and some have), but would never consider any other piece of Apple technology. Myself included.
I was an avid Verizon fan. I still love them and I always will. I always had good customer service (some claim it's horrid) and I had good service.
If anything before switching to AT&T for the iPhone, I had MANY doubts about the coverage on AT&T. I took the risk and went with it, so far I am a happy camper. I've had 2 dropped calls in 2 months, and 3G is available for me pretty much anywhere I go. (I'm in burbs of Chicago).
To me, 4G is really not a big deal, even when I have 3 bars on a 3G network, I found internet to be fast enough that I don't have to throw my iPhone against a wall and does what I need well.
The only thing I really want to see is AT&T and Apple working together on a GPS system. I LOVED VZNavigator and am WILLING to pay a monthly or per use fee over again.
@cameron, that is Apple's main problem. People love their iPhones and iPods. All my friends have at least an iPod, but the vast majority still use Windows. I am the same way, love my iPhone/iPod but I have no problems with Windows and don't forsee getting any other Apple products.
Apple's only hope would be to name me the winner of their 1 billion app contest. I wouldn't turn down a free one.
I love how bloggers don't have to find out all of the facts before blasting a company for a decision they made. Yes, Verizon did tell Apple to get got lost, but it's not because Verizon thinks they're better than Apple. In fact, it was the other way around. What other phone manufacturer would have the audacity to demand complete control over distribution? THAT is why Verizon told them no.
and as for Apple's Macs and such... if you're not doing multimedia, there's really no point in getting a Mac. They're way overprices for the casual web surfer, word processor type of user.
but even after demanding complete control at&t said yes and have a phone that is dominant in the US. Verizon absolutely DID think they were to good by saying "we are not gonna give you total control, we dont need you" and now they have customers switching to at&t and apple and are asking if they would have stayed for an iphone. I switched from Verizon to at&t for the iPhone and am very happy with it.
If, after the iPhone's success with AT&T, Apple can get extract same control terms from Verizon that they got from AT&T, great -- I am all for it. Verizon's network is better than AT&T's in my area, and besides, if carriers had to go head-to-head on subscriptions for the same iPhone, the competition could only spur them all to improve their networks that much faster.
If, however, a VZW iPhone would be the first step towards carrier-specific iPhone revisions like most other handsets, ewwwwww. I may not always like Apple's control freak nature, but I trust them a heck of a lot more than I trust Verizon, or AT&T, or any other carrier, for that matter.
Love this Blog. No one forced you to walk into a Apple or ATT store to buy a iPhone, you knew exactly what you were buying both the phone and the service. Now you want to cry like babies. If you left a perfertly good provider with great coverage and good customer service for a iPhone, who is the fool.
Apple should tell verizon 2 go to H€LL they thought Steve iPhone's would not sell out or nobody will buy them but newsflash they r the 1# one phone's in the world. And Yes I work for the AT&T company office 133# California well my uncle does..shhhhh and where talking about being number 1#. By the summer are coverage maps would be covered in orange and blue and dead zone's 100% coverage.
I love how younger commenters don't find out all of the history before blasting a blogger for publishing the truth.
EVERYONE has ALWAYS felt they were better than our freakish, out-of-touch, hippy Apple company. Period. End of story.
If macs are better at everything try to customize the hardware after you buy it. It cost almost as much as buying a new one. You can't do it at home. Plus no one hardly sells parts. As the commercials say "I'm a PC". But I love my iPhone it is an amazing price of hardware. Let's keep it AT&T.
Seems a bit doubtful that Apple would be willing to go to a CDMA carrier in the US as they'd still have to make a GSM version for the rest of the world.
The extra money spent on a Mac far outweighs the hard drive reformat and Windows reinstallation every six months needed to keep a PC fast. In the three years since I bought my intel Macbook, zero problems, it's never even needed the genius bar. For a student or anyone who relies on a computer on a daily basis there is no comparisson. I'll never buy another PC.
If Apples has a LTE version of the iPhone ( iPhone LTE ? ) They will sell many more iPhones. Come 2010/2011 , the only person that will loose out is AT&T. They won't be getting any new customers and the phone won't be the reason for getting AT&T service.
It would be a great move for Apple to have the iPhone on all of the major US carriers going forwards with LTE ( AT&T , Verizon, Sprint ).
Verizon Wireless will never have the iPhone unless Vodafone gets it. Why? The issue of control. Vcast Music with Rhapsody, Vzappzone, VzNav, and Visual Voice mail are worthless on the iPhone. You can use Vzappzone on the Storm (Vzappzone blows noone uses it), Vznav will be competing with 3rd party Turn by Turn with the advent of 3.0, and who needs Vcast Music with Rhapsody when you have iTunes?
Verizon Wireless will want all of this on the iPhone and do not think they will budge on this issue. They don't want the iPhone because they will not make profit on the device outside of the voice and data plan. Verizon prides itself as the only carrier that makes the most profit per handset. This is because Verizon forces its not cell savvy customers to go through them from ringtones to gps....
Now look at the iPhone. AT&T makes money only on voice and data while Apple makes money on Ringtones and Apps. So... Apple makes money on the sale and use of their device vs most manufacturers whom only make money on the sale of their device (I forget if Rim makes money on the Data plan.).
Why sell 10million devices when you can sell 8 million devices and then reap in additional profit from the App store and iTunes sales?
Oh look, an update for windows has caused my video card to stop working and I can't get past the login black screen of death. Oh well, I guess I'll just use one of my Macs.
Steve said: I hope Apple tells Verizon to get lost - just as I wish they would tell Windows switchers over 40 years-old to get lost. They all thought Apple was a joke? Fine! Rot in H€ll!

I left T-Mobile for the iphone...my plan is cheaper, the phone rocks and I have 3g. I can keep track of everything from the palm of my hand, my email for work and school, my bank accounts..everything....with tmobile, I had google maps...and edge....yay. Oh, and I left verizon for T-mobile due to the generic phones verizon offers. The software on verizon phones is all the same, unless you have windows mobile or RIM products. I am super pleased with the Iphone and ATT, I will be a returning customer when the knew Iphone kits the streets on whatever network
I guess it ended up a godd thing for Apple that VZW said no. They now sold the iPhone all over the world. With CDMA they would have been limited or forced to do a different verision. Now, with dual mode chipsets available all over why will Apple maintain exclusivity with AT&T? The question is will users just move to VZW (which means thy'll buy a new iPhone) or will they gain new net users? Tricky ...
I think Verizon Cant Sales Iphone 4G
because AT&T would not let them
it will start a battle of does two companies.
It Should be T-Mobile from start
everybody the got Iphones Unlocked them to get with T-Mobile.
witch is better than AT&T and more "CHEAPER"
But I hope Apple will Throught out AT&T and start with Verizon.
if anybody knows how to unlocked iphone 3G for carries the are not with SIM?
i seen the people maked them worked with Sprint, Verizon,
is it true
you can contact me email@example.com
Droves of people leaving Verizon for an iphone...?
On what planet? Go check your figures folks. Look at Q1-Q4 results since the launch of the fabled iphone. Verizon has maintained the LOWEST CHURN (Churn is defined as the loss of customers to a competitor) rating in the industry. Thats right... even lower than the AT&T post iphone.
They also add more net customers (mergers excluded) and operate on more revenue (free cash on hand).
If you really want to blow your mind. Look at the increase in sales of blackberrys during the iphones launch. (pre AND post storm)
I suppose you can be ignorant if you choose. Just be willing to blink when the light of truth starts to shine.
You know what sucks, I have the first iPhone when the 4 g comes out, I will get 3g when 5g comes out I will get 4g. Consumerism is so gay. Leave me wanting more! ThAnks apple.
I am a 20 year Verizon customer and somewhat pleased with their service, but not when they lock out functions on my phone just to get more revenue into their pockets.
My HTC 6800 has been locked out from being able to use Google Maps. When I talked to Verizon, they said the decision to lock out third party GPS software was made by Verizon management and marketing, and nothing can be done to enable the GPS receiver to enable Google Maps, but must use their VZ Navigator instead, at around $9.95 a month.
I live approximately 2 tenths of a mile from the closest pizza restaurant. On one of my phones with another carrier with Google Maps loaded, I can type in "pizza"and it nails the location right on target and with a satellite view. I type in "pizza" using my Verizon phone with their VZ Navigator, and it shows the nearest pizza restaurant is over 1 mile away on a very generic graphical street map and with no satellite view capability.
After 20 years of being a Verizon customer, I will be buying out my contract within the next month or so, and buying two new 4G iphones. Cell phone carriers are competitive amongst themselves, but I feel like Verizon has done me an injustice and to anyone else whom has had their phone "neutered" by their carrier.
Would you buy a new car only to find out that the air conditioner didn't work, and the dealer would then tell you that you must pay them a monthly fee for their a/c unit? Then their solution was that you must leave your windows down to stay cool? Enough is enough! Thank you all, for listening to my sincere concerns.
i hope the iphone doesnt go to verizon, i hate verizon they are expenisive and no where near apple standards, they make it so noone can unlock the phones they put out, like some kinda exclusive cult type of thing , verizon and apple have to different types of branding strategies , they just dont mesh
Look! Until Verizon can swallow their greed and unlock their phones to 3rd party services Apple is NOT gonna waste the cost of manufacturing the iphone to a provider who won't utilize the device's full functionality, It's like shoving an eagle in a small birdcage... it's just wrong!
Over the years Verizon has bought off their customers (most of them being youth between ages of 17-27) with the most "coolest and sleekest" phones of any provider with mediocre service (not poor at all but mediocre at best) and now they're trying to put another feather in their cap called the "iPhone 4G". AT&T is faaar from a saint by comparison but they never controlled their phones with a dictating hand to the extent that Verizon has. I switched from Verizon to AT&T a while back not for an iPhone and I have yet to have any 'major' issues with their service or phones; and now that I have an iPhone it makes their service that much better.
First off, I work for Verizon and I own an iPhone. I have this for personal use and have a cheap Verizon phone for work. Facts and figures show that Verizon has better coverage. Verizon has over 90% of the US population covered with 3G. AT&T has 60%. If u live in a decent size city then both are just as good. If u live off the beaten path (or get stuck in an elevator) then u better hope Verizon gets the iPhone.
It will be a while before VZW gets the Iphone. Not because they can't make the Iphone work on Verizon for GOD sakes people are smart enough to fly to the moon. Your telling me that it cant be done it can. It cant be done because what will happen when verizon gets the iphone AT&T will lose alot of customers because people would switch back. I personally have the Blackberry storm and I hate it with a passion. VZW knows it sucks they just are all in cahoots with each other and dont want to put the other outta business. If VZW gets the iphone both companies will lose money in the long run because it will be a battle to GOD forbid lower these horrible outrageously high prices. It will be a back and forth battle to see who will get the lowest to retain customers. Sorry to VZW and ATT apple has screwed you both:)
well everyone is talking about the iphone going to CDMA. its not.. Verizon id affliated with Vodafone. the Storm 9500 is a gsm phone on verizon 3G theyre called world phones. support 2 numbers one being gsm and one being CDMA or TDMA. the next gen. of the iphone will must be a world phone. why wouldnt a company as large as apple contract more phones to more sources? someone comment said that macs were better at all things. i have news for you dude. the same company contracts all softwares to windows mac and linux. its called rem star UIQ they also make symbian and windows mobile. and mac pcs are contracted through toshiba and HP. even the phones are through toshiba and samsung. so its all the same just the interface, why spend twice as much for a mac then? waste of money...
There are people talking about only purchasing an iphone or ipod and not an apple computer. Evidently you have not had one enough to use one. I once just had a computer and didn't like the phone because I didn't know much about it. If you did know more about the computers, your love for it would grow just as it did for the iphone. In fact, this is how they will bring more people to learn about their computers.
Love how this post is nothing but questions, No actual answers... What was the point in this page again?
Looks like every one wants to beat Apples greatness but they later regret it because just when they think they cought up w/ Apple or even beat them Apple comes out w/ thing at least 3 years in advance from what people thought wasn't possible. well im a happy apple customer and i cant wait foe next years iphone 4g. and I'm typing this from my 09 iMac OSX.
I would give anything for Verizon to have the iphone. I am huge apple fan, and I paid for both services for two years. I had the iphone for all of the wonders if offers, and then paid for an unlimited minutes plan with verizon so I could actually use the phone. I live in Orange County California, which is highly populated, and yet I still can't use AT&T! What the hell is that, if you can't use a phone service in a highly populated area, what the hell happens in a rural area.... nothing, I've tested it!
I finally had to pick one service and not pay for both, I sadly said good bye to the iphone because I needed a phone carrier that actually let you make phone calls!!
LTE or 4G is a long way away. More than 60 to 70 percent of phones still run on 2G & 2.5G Networks. 3G just started to pick up and gain momentum in the US like 2 to 3 years ago. Sprint shows commercials that they're the first to bring you a 4G network. Well, its a bit misleading. All they're doing is testing and building the network. That takes years and Billions of Dollars. Plus 3G Voice & Data fees have yet to mature (decline in price) which is another indicator that 4G is not close to happening. In addition, think about what you would pay for 4G Data and Voice (Yea, I'll pass on that). Furthermore, I don't believe that the iPhone will stay exclusive to AT&T forever. (duh) But with that being said, if/when it does go to Verizon, it'll be a device that will support GSM and CDMA networks. Think about it, why would Apple trade one set of subscribers for another? They won't exclusively move it to Verizon because they're looking to expand the iPhone customer base in America and Globally. I see the iPhone turning into what the Blackberry Curve is, and thats a Device that is available on all the networks in the US. In the end, it'll all come down to network quality, and the functionality that Apple will build into the iPhone OS. and updated hardware they'll use to showcase these features/technologies.
Look my favorite company is at&t then sprint then version and i think at&t should finish the iphone 4g because their the ones that got the idea so version should just keep my their blackberrys and at&t continue the iphone progress
Hopefully AT&T gets the Palm Pre and all of this can be over because the Pre is the best phone on the market. The iPhone is good and all but it lacks some of what the Pre offers. Pound for pound the Pre is better unless you plan on using the iPhone for games and such things that you would only find on the AppStore.
Tommy, are you kidding? I switched from the Palm Treo to the iPhone which is infinitely better. The Palm Pre is barely as step forward from the Treo, and this is from a person who has been using Palm OS products for over 10 years.

Macs aren't just better at multimedia. They are better at everything.
Better for multimedia? How is bluray working on your Mac? Oh? You say bluray is not supported on Mac? That sucks.. I also do some serious gaming on my Windows machine. Oh really? In order to game on my Mac, I have to use WINE to emulate Windows? I thought Macs did everything and did it better?
first off apple sucks everyone know this.Macs are by far the worse computers ever made they are limited in everyway(google mac software)~apple pwned~. Further more microsoft blew them out of the water in the 80's and still do today with there version of the ipad (omg it has flash).Verizon is the best company as far as coverage hands down yes they lock features on there phone but i have always just reunlocked them ~pwned~. now you want to see the best os in the world try linuxblws both windows and that other company out of the water and its free as is 99% of the software for it
Hey..!, great.Sorry if this is considered venturing off topic, but what do you think about the verizion iphone? I think it will decrease from the "percived value" of the iPhone.When the iPhone first came out everyone and their granny(and oddly enough I do see OLD people with iPhones) went crazy because of the "exclustivity" of having one.Im working on my degree in Economics and this decision is very unlike of them.I've admired Apple from a financial and buisness perspective, but I think they are going down the wrong path.In the long run In my opinion it could hurt Apple. If the iPhone loses its percived value it will basically be considered like the girl who will date anybody(lol).Sorry if I went offtopic.

As the most-mentioned year of the vice presidential debate, Joe Biden and Paul Ryan seemed determined to highlight the differences between the two campaigns plans to withdraw troops from Afghanistan in you guessed it the year 2014.
Just how much do Barack Obama and Mitt Romney agree, and disagree, on this point?
Heres the breakdown:
What Biden said
Thats why with 49 of our allies in Afghanistan, weve agreed on a gradual drawdown so were out of there by the year 20 in the year 2014. My friend and the governor say its based on conditions, which means it depends. It does not depend for us. But we are leaving. We are leaving in 2014. Period.
Fact checking Biden
Though the presidents plan is to leave Afghanistan by 2014, Biden seems to imply that the U.S. will be entirely withdrawn by then thats not true, according to Politico.
Most American troops are expected to be gone two years from now, notes Politico. But President Barack Obamas plan calls for leaving behind a force of U.S. troops that would remain in Afghanistan after 2014. Hes never said how long that smaller force would stay.
The Washington Post specified that an enduring presence of 10,000 to 15,000 troops has been discussed by the administration.
The New York Times, asking whether Biden was accurate in his firm statement about leaving Afghanistan in 2014, came to a conclusion with three words: Well, sort of.
What Ryan said
We agree with the administration on their 2014 transition
We do agree we do agree with the timeline and the transition, but what we what any administration will do in 2013 is assess the situation to see how best to complete this timeline. What we do not want to do ... what we dont want to do is give our allies reason to trust us less and our enemies more we dont want to embolden our enemies to hold and wait out for us and then take over
Fact checking Ryan
Ryans statement that Romney supports a 2014 troop withdrawal was rated Mostly True by PolitiFact, which found several instances when Romney expressed support for the timeline.
His criticism was not of the date itself but the announcement of it, which he said emboldened the Taliban and endangered troops, reads PolitiFact.
The New York Times goes on to explain that Obama plans to remove all regular combat troops by 2014, keeping a small contingent of military trainers and special operations forces afterward.
A Romney official would not answer whether hes ruled out keeping regular combat brigades after 2014, but Romney has said he would first seek advice from military commanders on the ground.
The bottom line
Both Obama and Romney agree with the 2014 timeline. The key difference is that Obama wants all regular combat troops out by then, but Romney has not committed to that.

It's vol 14, but it's the safest site (I have McAfee SiteAdvisor). You can Google it and download it from filestube, but you'll get a virus for sure.

The Scranton Zine Fest is a celebration of zinesters, zine distros, artistic press publications, community partners, crafters, artists, workshops and live entertainment under one roof for the public to enjoy — free of charge.
Zine festivals are a great place to learn something new, get inspired, discuss, interact, meet friends, connect with local writers and get involved with various forms of accessible media.
Although the history of the Scranton Zine Festival is not yet expansive, the time and energy put into developing such a radical idea in the blooming artist-community of the Electric City showcased a groundbreaking move in the light of how we converse and exchange ideas. The initial concept for the festival stemmed from Ruthless Zine, an arts and activism publication first created in November 2008.
Ruthless Zine was created in response to the lack of literary outlets for the teenage crowd in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Its content touched on local musicians and artists as well as different acts of radicalism. During this time, a number of local independent businesses graciously welcomed the zine in their venue, promoting a sense of interdependency and community.
Ruthless Zine (2008-2010), along with its respective umbrella organization, Ruthless Youth (now defunct), was a predominant effort of the young adults of Scranton. Ruthless Zine provided a community platform for an exchange of open ideas. Members of the community would send in social commentary on subjects of social observation, change and activism. Their literature would then be printed and distributed. Thus, there was a large mixture of different opinions in one zine.
Similarly, Ruthless Youth helped with community involvement by holding meetings discussing ways to change the intellectual landscape of the downtown area in order to make geared more toward a younger adult crowd instead of a "21-and-over" crowd. In accord with the zine's objective of expressing the opinions of the locals, the members of the Scranton Zine Fest seek to bring an array of different literary publications to the city for people to enjoy in addition to inspiring those to create their own zine.
In short, the Scranton Zine Fest is an outlet and networking tool for writers to exchange a variety of interests and to celebrate another aspect of Scranton's thriving artist base. The festival wishes to be an added stop on the map of notable East Coast zine festivals like the Richmond, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia zine festivals.
Now in our third year, the Scranton Zine Fest is working harder than ever to showcase the abundant arts and literature in Lackawanna County and beyond. We strive to bring in interesting artists from all over the East Coast as well as from foreign countries for an overall aesthetic experience.

The Contra Costa County Meals on Wheels division, operated by Senior Outreach Services, delivers 750 meals to seniors throughout the county every week, and the need for volunteers is ongoing. After recent budget cuts, Meals on Wheels Program Manager Sharon Fitzgerald is in need of nine drivers to pick up shifts in Antioch, Pittsburg and Bay Point.
"We're the only program in the county that delivers warm, nutritious meals to seniors, 60 years and older, at no cost to our clients," Fitzgerald said. "For about a third of our seniors, a Meals on Wheels delivery is the only meal they'll have all day. Volunteers are the hearts and hands of our programs, and we need people now more than ever. I've never seen a demand like this before."
Meals on Wheels serves homebound seniors who are unable to either shop or cook for themselves. According to the Meals on Wheels Association of America, 8.3 million seniors throughout the nation are faced with the threat of hunger.
For Antioch resident Sal Lucido, Meals on Wheels is a lifesaver. Sal's wife Sophie used to cook all the family meals, but now that she's developed dementia, she's unable to provide healthy meals for the couple, leaving Sal to whip up meals.
"I'm 96, and I've never cooked before," Sal said. "I can put something in the microwave, but that's not all that healthy. Meals on Wheels provides us with a healthy meal, so I know that we're eating right. It makes things a lot easier, and it takes away a lot of the stress of not knowing if you're going to have something for dinner or not."
Fitzgerald said another important component of the Meals on Wheels program is the interaction between the delivery drivers and the seniors. For some Meals on Wheels clients, the interaction with the delivery driver is the only socializing they'll get that day, so the personal connection is just as valuable.
"Our drivers develop relationships with our clients," Fitzgerald said. "They become like members of the family. It helps for seniors to know that they have someone looking out for them."
Meals on Wheels volunteers are asked to pick up one two-hour shift per week. Deliveries are made between 10 a.m. and noon Monday through Friday. Drivers typically make 12 to 16 deliveries per shift. To qualify, drivers must have their own transportation and liability insurance, and pay for their own gas.
Volunteer orientations are held at the Antioch Senior Center. Fitzgerald is also in need of relief drivers to fill in when volunteers miss a shift. For more information about how to volunteer, e-mail Fitzgerald at email@example.com or call 925-937-8607.

JOHNSON COLUMN: Ramon Dominguez sports a commanding lead in jockey standings
SARATOGA SPRINGS — At the halfway point of any given race at Saratoga Race Course, the outcome is usually still up in the air. The same can't be said for the jockey standings halfway through the 2012 meet, however.
Ramon Dominguez made sure of that.
On just the third day of the meet, Dominguez tied a Saratoga record with six wins in one day to take a commanding lead in the jockey standings. The 5-foot-6 114-pound rider finished first on 6-of-7 mounts to set the tone for the rest of the field.
Since then, Dominguez has won three or more race on five separate occasions, including a four-win (4-of-8 mounts) performance Monday to extend his lead over second-place Javier Castellano to 18 victories. Over that span of time, Castellano has notched three three-win days while no other jockey has more than one.
"I've exceeded my expectations as far as the numbers of wins," Dominguez said Monday. "I'm extremely happy, although I'm not saying necessarily (that) I'm going to duplicate it for the second half."
Dominguez leads the meet in starts (162), first-place finishes (39), second place finishes (28) and third place finishes (24). He also leads in percentage of rides finishing in the money (56 percent) among jockeys who have more than one start.
Despite the success, the two-time eclipse award winner says he has no trouble staying motivated to keep winning.
"It's a lot more difficult when you're struggling," Dominguez of his focus throughout the meet. "It's a lot easier to look back on your wins. I try to do the best I can with each horse.
About the only statistical category Dominguez is second-best is winning percentage among jockeys who have made more than one start. That honor goes to one of the newest members of the Racing Hall of Fame — John Velazquez.
Also a two-time Eclipse Award winner, Velazquez broke his collarbone at Churchill Downs in June when he was thrown to the ground and kicked by a horse after his mount broke down. Despite being injured at the start of the Saratoga meet, the 5-foot-6, 112-pounder sits fourth in the jockey standings with 15 wins in just 55 starts for a 27 percent winning total. Continued...
"I feel great," Velazquez said when asked about the lasting effects of his injury. "Riding nice horses, that's what helps."
Hitting on a high percentage of rides has gotten Velazquez back into the race for second place in the jockey standings. The Hall of Famer is currently tied for fourth place with Junior Alvarado (16 wins apiece). Javier Castellano is second with 21 first place finishes and Jose Lezcano is sitting on 20. Julien Leparoux, Joel Rosario, Rajiv Maragh, Rosie Napravnik, Cornelio Velasquez and Irad Ortiz, Jr. round out the top 10 winners for the first 22 racing days.
With 18 days of racing left in Saratoga, no awards have been handed out yet. Even so, it might take a record setting performance over the second half of the meet for someone to catch Dominguez.
"I hope at the end of the meet I can look back and be happy with my performance," Dominguez said.

"Storytelling + History = Worth the time!"
Probably not! But that's not a slam, it's a saga, but not...an Epic
Michener's books
Excellent command of multiple characters/intonations - superb actor
Wouldn't. It's a good name.
Brought pre-World War II and beginning of World War II to life through eyes and hearts of one family, making what seems already ancient and long ago deeply personal. An excellent introduction to the era from a very American family/set of eyes.
"Vintage James Lee Burke + Perfect Pitch Narration"
I've never read or listened to a James Lee Burke book I didn't like, so I come in with that prejudice. This hero, like Dave Robicheaux, is battle-scarred,demon-chased and damaged but not dead yet, still alight with desire for love and justice.
As always with Burke, a solid story, excellent villains, descriptions of landscape and characters that rival any fine writer's out there, notes of redemption. Burke's language is, as always elegiac and my only gripe in listening to it vs. reading it is....come'on what bad guys speak with such poetic erudition? It works on the page, and it's part of Burke's flow but in narration it's just too gorgeous for the down and out. But I like hearing it enough that it's okay. Burke always provokes thought, he keeps us entertained.
The narrator is perfectly paired with the material, and the "Feast Day of Fools" metaphor (there's a bit of a lecture by one of the improbably bad guys about metaphors in the book) is wonderfully wrought.
"Perfectly pitched - novel and narrator"
This book would appeal to readers/listeners who like a fine writer who can bundle atmosphere, character development and action -- more like an excellent mystery writer in some ways (Mankell, James Lee Burke) - author has created a haunting/intriguing book. Great delivery by Doyle, and most remarkably-- he pulls off an ending that does the entire book before credit. So many, many books like this end with a whimper, this one does not - the author has crafted a superb ending that does credit to his writing, his characters and the history also envelopes the work. I'm reading more Neville!
"I'd expect nothing less..."
A troubled, troubling, stirring, well-wrought end to the Wallander cycle that has me wanting to read and listen to all of them again. I discovered this author on Audible and have savored each book. In this last novel, Mankell has succeeded in what so few authors seem to be capable of, closing his series subtly, beautifully, remaining true to his characters and yet also exploring his terrain with wonderful intuition and character insights, keeping the book moving with compelling twists and turns. Mankell has turned the book, Wallander, and the reader all on their heads and has the reader/listerner looking at everything within (the pages, the plot, the life) in a new way-- sad and glorious. How I will miss Wallander, and how grateful I am that I met him and his creator!
"Interesting Mix for Elizabeth George Fans"
This book oddly combines the successes and failures of her last two novels-- after hating "What Came Before He Shot Her" and Loving "Careless in Red," I had more than one twinge of fear that this was going down the "What Came Before..." path. It didn't. Tough book to review because I don't want to give any hints of the twists or turns and there are some. Stay with the book, it'll surprise you in good ways, characters we know and love continue to develop too. Some scenes tremble a little too close to the disgusting and I confess fast forwarding through at least three ummm...unpleasantries. But in the end a satisfying read, and when as she often says, the other shoe finally falls and the reader figures out where George is going it's a delight indeed!
"An Ear Burner"
What's the equivalent of a page turner in audioland...an ear burner? This one's hard to turn off, you want to listen to it in big gulps, so clear off your calendar for a 18 mile walk or a weekend cleaning frenzy. Author has a really unique premise, the core creative idea that drives the story is novel and ambitious. So in terms of plot, and unique slant I'd give this 5 stars. But I gotta knock it down a bit for very stock characters, the protagonist is cliche, the supporting cast...ditto. Don't let that stop you from listening though, still great entertainment and I'm absolutely on to the next one!
"To Sing Praise About The Book"
I'd call this book absolutely charming if that didn't sound like a weak compliment generally administered to quaint books with just a slight degree of cleverness and whimsy. This book is fun, tons of cleverness and whimsy, nothing slight about it, and succeeded me in getting me to like and root for characters from the future and the past...especially the Dog and the Cat.
This is a fun and funny book, laugh out loud in parts, absolute great read. Gotta find out if Connie Willis has written others !
"Read Don't Listen"
Some books are better read than listened to....and after listening to this extremely long book not once but twice, I have to say this is one of them. "The Savage Detectives" is a high-end tour-de-force, includes the testimony of so many characters and the thread of enough lives and stories that it warrants a careful reading vs. a thorough listening to or two, as in my case. After my first listening, much escaped me and 2/3 of the way through I had put so much time into the book I was determined to finish it but felt it was a slog. However, the book ends so beautifully, I was replenished and decided that now that I had half the threads, I would listen to it again. And that was worth doing too as I was then able to distinguish characters/voices and weave together the books threads all the better.
The book is exactly that -- very "writerly" so having the actors read what is supposed to be written testimony at times comes across as contrived, and the first narrator initially irritated me to no end because, despite the actor's surname (Lopez) he sounded like a WASP. Didn't bother me as much the second time around as I was used to it. The second narrator covers so many voices it's incredible, and his voice is much more authentic but again having the same actor cover gosh...at least 15 voices that are written in style of testimony is difficult.
Parts of the book are quite beautiful, parts are tedious, the author treats his central poet characters as almost messianic which translates as a bit self-indulgent. There is a very gratuitous stinky vagina scene that's bothersome, but then some wonderful international scenes and the actual detection --there is that as the poets trace a phantom like female poet from a generation before these is extremely well-executed.
If you have time to listen to a very long book twice, give it a shot. Impossible to swallow in one listening. This is worth reading,but best suited for the printed page.
"Casts a very loooong shadow"
I often gravitate toward very long audiobooks since I listen with such frequency I feel like I'm definitely getting my money's worth. No argument here on this score, defintely a great word per penny ratio. But the very length of this book has become an internal argument in my mind -- is it just too long? Is it fair to even think about length when it concerns a huge life, multiple characters, or even any life if the author can keep the reader engaged? I'm not sure yet. The book is told from multiple points of view, but all of it centers around one character, EJ Watson. The writing is superb, the narrative at time does drift, but I think the author has done an excellent job of telling the same story from several viewpoints and keeping the telling of the story-- though we know the ending again and again and again -- fresh. I truly think the EXCEPTIONAL narrator keeps the story alive however. I have more than a sneaking suspicion that if I had picked this book up to read, it would not have held my interest. The author owes a lot of credit to the narrator on this one for making the book really come alive, and adding another dimension to the telling that a reader of printed word just would not get. Anyway, if you want a nice long read, an excellent narrator, and really some fine writing you will get it here, but if you're about listening for entertainment only this probably isn't the book for you.
"Satisfaction for Mankell/Wallander Junkies"
I get a little nervous when a collection of stories/novellas comes out from a novelist...especially if protaganist is a major character in said novelist's body of work. Usually. I worry that the stories will be froth, light entertainment. No worries with Mankell, these mysteries are just that, not short stories, they add to the already multi-dimensionality that is Kurt Wallandar, they provide background and depth. A great "listen" for the Wallandar fan...I know Mankell says he's done with the series but this is one case where I welcome prequels, sequels, intermidials...whatever I can get!

Patience Urged for Iraq Progress Report
Posted at 12:28 PM on Thursday, September 6, 2007 by dist1
VFW commander says 'A nation doesn't go to war to lose'WASHINGTON (September 6, 2007) – The new national commander of America's oldest and largest organization of combat veterans is urging patience as the nation awaits the progress report next week by Army Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker.
George Lisicki, who was elected last month to lead the 2.3 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. and its Auxiliaries, said the nation must carefully evaluate the report not so much for the accomplishments it will mention, but for the signs of progress and recommendations that the U.S. mission in Iraq can succeed with adequate time and resources.
"War is an ugly business that begins and ends in the political arena, but the bottom line is a nation doesn't go to war to lose," said Lisicki, a Vietnam combat veteran from Carteret, N.J.
"The critics and pundits say Iraqi politicians can't put their sectarian differences aside. I say a reliable security environment increases economic opportunities which forces politicians to work together," he explained. "That is exactly what is happening today in Iraq's largest province, Al Anbar, which a year ago was deemed a lost cause because of sectarian violence and foreign insurgents. Peace and stability breeds productivity and political reconciliation."

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
Will Santa's sleigh be late?
A record number of Americans ordered holiday gifts online after retailers flooded their inboxes with offers of extra discounts, free shipping and easy returns.
But a storm bringing snow to much of the Midwest on Thursday -- the heaviest shipping day of the year -- could mean that some packages might not make it under the tree in time for Christmas.
No major disruptions have been reported so far. Wal-Mart said no orders have been delayed. GSI Commerce, which handles online shipping for 70 retailers, said it is monitoring the situation hour-by-hour. So far, deliveries are on time.
Still, the storm's timing couldn't be worse for the world's largest package delivery company, UPS. Before the storm shut down service in some areas, it expected to move 28 million packages on Thursday, nearly double an average day.

In my blog, I usually write about adopting children and try to provide emotional support to prospective adoptive parents. Today, I am writing about the other adopted member of our family. I write for those who have lost a dear, furry family member and the devastating sense of loss it creates, while also leaving us with cherished memories.
Our dog Jasper died, fittingly, just before Memorial Day weekend. He came into our lives when I was truly ChildDrenched and unable to conceive our third child. He was a gift to our two young boys a year before we adopted our daughter who is now ten. His presence filled our home and our hearts and he taught our children lifelong lessons. As he aged, I watched in admiration as our children cared for him when walking became more difficult, feeding became more complicated, and spending time with him became less entertaining. I am forever grateful to our dog for suffering through the last few months as we readied ourselves for the end. We are now all in mourning, stunned by the emptiness in our home, despite five people living here.
As a healthy yellow lab, Jasper enjoyed every person who came to the door bearing packages, dry cleaning or mail. His tail wagged incessantly and despite his 90-pound girth, he was happy to be an inside, lap dog. He seemed delighted to see us every time we walked in the door, regardless of how long we had been gone.
My husband posted our dearly departed, eleven-year-old dog's photo on Facebook and received more condolences from friends and business associates than I have ever seen. Some had met Jasper when my husband used to take him to work. Jasper would greet all the employees walking from desk to desk and then lay down in the middle of the room, logging hours of restful naps while the software engineers worked. Others just knew of Jasper through my husband who referred to him as his "third son".
As a puppy, Jasper was another member of the "team" for our kids. He often played in the outfield when our sons played baseball many years ago. We would watch him try to pick up as many balls in his mouth as he could fit, and still run. He was happy to be "dressed up" on Halloween for pictures and trick-or-treating. My daughter enjoyed arranging her stuffed animals all around Jasper, who sat patiently listening to her chatting with all of her friends. He loved the snow and was extremely enthusiastic and protective when our kids went sledding.
Jasper was a loving family member who, until a year ago, was my perfect walking partner and my buddy when the house was empty on school days. He would sit and listen to me type at my computer, talk on the phone, and watch "Ellen" with me. Far from passive, he had an intuitive sense of how to respond to us when we were happy or comfort us when things went wrong.
Although the last year was full of vet visits, complicated medicine schedules, and physical therapy appointments, there is no relief in his absence. I would gladly have kept picking up his shedding fur and feeding him pain killers and treats. But, we knew his health would not improve and it just wasn't fair.
Now, we miss him when we walk in the door to our "empty" house. It will be a long, slow recovery, especially for our sons who helped us pick him up from the breeder eleven years ago when he was only six weeks old. Jasper's death represents the years that have gone by and as we look at his puppy photos, we also shed a tear for our children's childhood that went fleeting by. Optimistically, I now know that having a dog accompany our children as they grew from kids to young adults helped teach them compassion, responsibility and now, about loss. As difficult as this loss has been, I highly recommend a dog for any loving family.
We all knew this day was coming. My daughter kept track of Jasper "in dog years" helping her learn her 7s times tables and also understand <read more>

Wow. Thank you for this, Patty. Left me with a lump in my throat and yearning for a dog like Jasper. Beautiful memories. You and your family were blessed to 'grow up' with such a special pet.

Robin, Your comments are much appreciated. We were indeed blessed. Thank you.

Patty, from someone who went through this two years ago and now has a new family member we LOVE and cherish, don't be afraid to love again. Your new dog won't be the same, but he/she will be so special in their own way. I lost my dog when she was 13 - she was my dog as a single woman, then newly married, then with little babies. She was my constant companion, always there (some times in the way) I regretted not giving her more attention after the babies came after she died, so badly. But in the end I know she knew how much I loved her. One thing that gave me closure was painting and embellishing a picture frame in her honor with her tag, little decals special to her and a pretty picture. I also did a photo album, bought a pretty ceramic figure that looked like her and put her ashes in a decorative vase with the figure next to it in my living room, her favorite place to hang out. I know what you mean about the dog reminding you of phases in your life ending - that hit me like a ton of bricks in making that album!
We did get the new puppy a few months later, mostly because I thought I'd lose my mind without the pitter patter around. He was tough as a puppy, but it took my mind off the emptiness, and now he is so wonderful, such a great companion. I miss my other dog, but we love our new one just as much. I hope you find that too. You'll know when it's right. Best wishes & RIP sweet Jasper in doggy heaven.

Gorilla Perfume Volume II: Let's Get It On!
Volume II is the second round of perfumes being launched by our Gorilla Perfumers, the father and son team Mark and Simon Constantine. Inspired by ancient lore of the British countryside, tales of seduction, protective plants and beat poets, these perfumes are nothing like you've experienced before.
The Sun is an orange, tangerine and sandalwood oil blend, inspired by Mark's vision of a big orange sun on a lollipop stick. In the dead of winter, he reminisced about a road trip taken with friends in the middle of summer, driving down the New Jersey Turnpike to Cape May. Listening to Simon and Garfunkel croon "America", he flung open the doors to his fragrance cupboard and began recreating the happiness and contentedness of that warm, happy day.
The Voice of Reason is inspired by the generation of beat poets. It smells as is Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Jack Kerouac just walked past you and through a cellar door into a secret club. They are gone, and all you have is the faint scent of espresso, French cigarettes and whiskey swirling around you. Sandalwood and buddhawood soak into your skin, senses and soul.
Rose beats at the heart of the matter. Sikkim Girls is a scent of silent seduction. It is inspired by a Darjeeling café owner's tale of two women, the Sikkim Girls, who seduced his son-in-law with the subtle, sexual sway of their bodies. A blend of frangipani, jasmine, vanilla and tuberose conjures up exotic climes and heady possibilities.
Flower's Barrow is inspired by Simon's trip to an Iron Age hillfort, taken over by Romans who are now said to haunt the place. The ancient ruins have sunk into the sea, and nettles and brambles have taken over the land. Sage and thyme pull you back through the ages to times gone by. Ripe, bursting blackcurrant and sweet geranium are the tang of sea air and the wild plants that entwine against ancient stone.
A breathy, rose kiss will leave you charmed among the ruins; a sweet end to your encounter. At once familiar and strange, comforting and haunting, Gorilla Perfume will challenge everything you thought fragrance should and could be. Complex, deep and changing, these perfumes are the antidote to boring, mass-market scents.
Read more about all nine of our newest Gorilla Perfumes and buy them here, or stop by a shop and experience in person our truly revolutionary fragrances.

Here is bunch of cool pieces I found along the famous Music Row in midtown Manhattan.
These aren't really guitar stores anymore. They are more like museums, whose customers must be the rich and famous but whose history is undeniable. Below are a few bits that caught my eye.
A 75 thousand dollar Strat (which is just laughable). Hendrix's invoice for a Harmony, an Epiphone and a Les Paul, the classic sixties tape delay – The EchoPlex (also pictured from another store), and a couple of packs of strings as far as I can read.
I also snapped a quick shot of Dave Glimour's famous Blacktop Strat.
The most interesting thing on Music Row though was the great "Old Yellow" – the guitar used to demo amps and effects in-store for the famous and the common alike – the coolest looking coke bottle double cutaway Danny I have ever seen – probably the coolest guitar I have ever seen. I mean what a history that thing has. Played by so many of the greats. "Old Yellow" is a legend in its own right now.
