According to Verizon's second Verizon iPhone commercial, yes, they can hear you now. It's also beautiful, intelligent, even genius (though not magical, sadly). And they claim their network... works.
So what's next, will AT&T start airing simultaneous voice and data and international roaming commercials?
Check out the video after the break and let us know what you think!
[Thanks Kaled!]
he has gotten a little bit chunky...not trying to be mean
I agree with ricbon, I almost didn't recognize him. But I digress, the ad is a little dramatic for my tastes. Verizon may "work" but it seemingly works slowly in my area. viva la at&t
AT&T has to run an ad showing the simultaneous voice and data then asking"Does your network REALLY allow you to RULE the air?"
Hahahahahaha. WE GET IT ALREADY. Simultaneous voice and data. Yayyyyy. The only people who care at all about that are you guys trying to one up VZW w/ your sorry ATT. Nobody cares.
funny how my "sorry att" is still better than my coworkers with vzw, can't wait until they get their iPhones so i can still have better speeds
It's so sad...even the 1st iPhone can do simultaneous voice and data..and here we are on the 4th and best one yet and lame verizon can't do something that has been so simple for us on AT&T...Smh its a shame..
Nope, don't think it could. I don't believe EDGE allows it.
rumor is htc thunderbolt will be a able to do voice/data at the same tim. i must think its due to hardware. also they are keeping it hush hush dont want steal thunder from the iphone:http://www.droid-life.com/2011/01/26/htc-thunderbolt-can-handle-data-and...
I won't discredit the usefulness, though, having remained on Verizon despite the lure of the iPhone, I will not miss what I never had. And that is the point here. Verizon customers obviously don't have simultaneous voice/data as a top priority.
Oooops, yeah you're right..edge wasnt capable...anyway to us it's not even a big deal cause we've been doing it for so long...but think about it on verizon you can't even use your google map while on a conversation..sorry it's just not the same..
@jack keep your comments to yourself ok. if ou dont like it F**K off ok
Is it me or is Georgia hot!!
I'm getting really exhausted hearing att drones harp on about voice and data. I had art for 4 years and didn't even realize I could do that til I heard att shift there commercials to that to counter there piss poor coverage. I am with vzw and still do not miss that. A phone e is just that a phone first and vzw 3 g however slight the speed difference is smokes poor little att. They never even built out 3 g nation wide outside the burbs and want to sell 3.5 g as 4g following tmobiles suit. Coverage , phone quality first. Everything else second. If art works for you awesome if not make the switch but arguing atts little glimmer of advantages over vzw like you have stock in the company is pathetic.
@ jfelipe83:
Dude, STFU. It's a$$es like you that come on to a Verizon article and bitch and moan. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, you can "F**K OFF". OK?
If all that you, and tools like you, are going to do is go into articles that you obviously have no vested interest in and trash talk, then you need to get a life, loser.
AT&T should have that joke commercial with his Verizon iPhone friend getting that joke way later on their sub 1Mbps molasses 3G speeds.
I'm surprised AT&T haven't shown off simultaneous voice and data while tethering as using a tethered laptop and then making/receiving a call is far more plausible to me.
Who really cares about the one-upmanship. I have AT&T and will remain for the foreseeable future. That said, I have one thing to say to VZW customers: "Welcome to the iPhone!"
I wonder why they chose a Dallas area code? Would've been better had they used 212 or 415.
LOLOLOL That was pretty good... I am looking forward to the commercial battles between VZW and AT&T now >:) This is going to get entertaining.
Who really cares about the iphone when verizon has 4g android phones coming soon.. att sucks and so does that iphone...
Att should allow facetime on the mobile network knowing that
Verizon cant offer that with that slow cdma network.
Is that even the same Verizon guy? He looks close, but heavier and his voice doesn't even sound close to the other commercials.
i still can't believe people use CDMA technology :o
CDMA is a more advanced technology than GSM.
If CDMA was more advanced then why does the rest of the world use GSM???? Seriously??? I can't believe you just said that. Verizon won't be on CDMA in 5 years anyways
I Agree Matt.
CDMA wont be around for much longer. It's OLD tech and in no way more advanced then GSM.
GSM offers you the choice to change phones when you fell like it, Use voice and Data at the same time....... Actually something i love doing.
I would NEVER get a CDMA phone...unless i had no choice of course or that my GSM provider was so bad in my area that l technically had no choice if i wanted to make calls.
But giving the option GSM is the way to go
Looking forward to the AT&Fee commercials that show how voice and data work at the same time on their network.
Verizon makes me laugh, along with the fake android fan boys. In the commercial they forget to leave out the statement that you could be one of many who get their internet throttled along with compressing picture. music, and video files. Ill stay with ATT I don't have a problem been with Verizon before, they're Nazi. Ill keep my minuted that I paid for. Also I don't get why the hell anyone would buy a phone a year old and with rumored iPhone 5 (they release one every year people) in less 6 months.
hey at&t customers you can not even talk for 20mins with out a dropped call let alone surf and talk.. and the 70.9 million customers Verizon has do not have a problem of not being able to surf and talk at the same time..F OFF
That's all AT&T has? Simultaneous voice and data? I would much rather have calls that don't drop vs dropped calls and checking out email all at the same time, or whatever. Seriously, you ATT fanboys really need to come up with something better. Now the next best thing is going to be reading all your responses and use of foul language cause you cant handle the truth!
How bout everyone pick the network they want and move on with their own lives??
If only the same people were as passioanate about politics or what's going on around the world. Smh

West Coast hip-hop pioneers to discuss the role of gangsta rap on the 1992 civil unrest and over the past twenty years
Born of out the L.A. 1992 Civil Unrest, KJLH-FM's Front Page Show Celebrates 20 Years on Air and as Where Black Los Angeles Comes to Talk
*Inglewood, Calif. – Continuing its coverage and commemoration of the 1992 civil unrest, West Coast rappers and music veterans discussed the influence of gangsta rap on the 1992 civil unrest Wednesday, April 25 on KJLH-FM's Front Page show. Show participants included Compton rapper DJ Quik, Blood & Crips Bangin on Wax album legend Big Wy, Grammy-nominated rapper and actress Yo-Yo, Above the Law's Cold 187um aka Big Hutch, West Coast and Los Angeles hip-hop legend Medusa, and West Coast music historian Gregory Everett.
Pioneered in the mid-1980s by rappers such as Schoolly D and Ice-T, gangsta rap was popularized in the later part of the 1980s by groups like N.W.A. After the national attention that Ice-T and N.W.A attracted in the late 1980s and early 1990s, gangsta rap became the most commercially lucrative subgenre of hip-hop. The subject matter inherent in gangsta rap has caused a great deal of controversy. Criticism has come from both left wing and right wing commentators, and religious leaders, who have accused the genre of promoting crime, violence, profanity, racism, street gangs, drive-bys, vandalism, thievery, drug dealing, alcohol abuse, substance abuse and materialism.
Hosted by Dominique DiPrima, the Front Page is Los Angeles' only daily talk radio show focused on African-American issues. The show can be heard on air in Los Angeles from 4:30AM until 6AM at 102.3 FM, online at www.kjlhradio.com, and downloaded later on iTunes after the broadcast. Today's show was produced by veteran radio news journalist and producer Jasmyne Cannick.
DJ Quik, is an MC and record producer from Compton, Calif., whose debut album, Quik Is the Name, which was released in 1991, was led by the success of two top 20 R&B singles, "Tonite" and "Born and Raised in Compton."
Big Wy, is one of the original members of the of the Blood & Crips Bangin on Wax album. He is best known for the songs "Bangin on Wax" and "Piru Love", "Steady Dippin'", and as a member of the popular groups Young Soldiers signed to Dangerous Quality Records, The Relativez. Later, music mogul Suge Knight signed Big Wy to Deathrow Records and featured him on the film soundtrack for Murder Was the Case. Born and raised in Inglewood, today, Big Wy is the CEO and co-founder of 319 Music Group, which is also home to Cali Swagg District.
Bangin' on Wax is the first album by Bloods & Crips. The album was released in 1993 for Dangerous Records. Bangin' on Wax was a success, making it to #86 on the Billboard 200. Four singles were released "Bangin' on Wax", "Piru Love", "Crip, Crip, Crip" and "Steady Dippin'". The album has sold over 500,000 copies, reaching Gold status.
Yo-Yo is a Grammy-nominated rapper and actress. Much of her music has advocated female empowerment, denouncing the frequent sexism found in hip-hop music. She is the protege of gangsta rapper Ice Cube. Yo-Yo dubbed her crew the IBWC, which stood for the Intelligent Black Woman's Coalition.
Above the Law is a rap group from Pomona, Calif., founded in 1989 by co-founded by Cold 187um aka Big Hutch. In 1989, the group signed to the late Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. There they became close associates of the pioneering gangsta rap group N.W.A. Their first album on Ruthless, 1990′s Livin' Like Hustlers, featured guest appearances from N.W.A. members and some production from Dr. Dre. Above the Law is best known for their hit "V.S.O.P." Above the Law member Cold187um worked closely with Dre on production and the two had great influence on each other.
Gregory Everett is best known for being the founder of the 1980s DJ crew Ultra Wave. Today he's a filmmaker, his latest project being 41st and Central: The Untold Story of the L.A. Black Panthers. He is credited with being the Los Angeles historian of West Coast hip-hop having gotten his start as a music video assistant director for rappers Tupac and Ice Cube. Gregory has produced and directed numerous rap music videos for Innerscope, Priority, Death Row, Sony, Universal and for artists Kurupt, Tupac, Ice Cube, and L.L. Cool J.

Experts say spread joy, not germs, this holiday season
Published on Wed, Nov 18, 2009
Read More
Before you go over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house this holiday season, consider what a University of Wisconsin-Madison infectious-disease specialist calls key myths about travel and illness.
"Many people have misconceptions about how viruses and bacterial infections are transmitted from person to person, especially on airplanes," says Dr. Jim Conway, an associate professor of medicine at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) and pediatric infectious-disease physician at the American Family Children's Hospital.
"If you combine common sense with accurate information, you'll have a much better chance of staying healthy during the holidays."
Conway says the myths fall into three general categories.
Myth #1: Stale airplane air is a major source of contagious disease.
"There are very few things that fly through the air and magically infect other people," says Conway. "Viral infections like flu and colds spread when you have contact with a droplet from someone's sneeze or cough. It's transmitted because humans can't seem to keep their hands away from their faces," says Conway. Viruses last several hours on surfaces while bacteria can last for weeks.
Myth #2: Immune-boosting products will protect you from holiday illnesses.
Conway says there is no reliable evidence that shows products marketed as "bolstering the immune system" work. While the products contain heavy doses of vitamins, Conway says it's not ever been demonstrated in any clinical studies that a few chewables or tablets will instantly make the immune system stronger.
Myth #3: Surgical masks provide more protection against contagious viruses.
Conway says this is a myth with a shred of truth in it. Surgical masks won't stop colds and other viruses because these viruses are not airborne like the pathogens causing tuberculosis, smallpox and measles.
"Since it would be rare to come in contact with a contagious disease that's airborne, the only reason to wear a mask on a commercial airplane is that you don't trust yourself not to touch your mouth, eyes and nose, not to prevent someone from breathing in contaminated air OR if you are coughing and sneezing yourself, and want to protect other people by minimizing spread of your own secretions," he says. "To protect yourself, though, you're much better off spending 89 cents for a bottle of hand sanitizer and keeping your hands below your neck."
Conway says people may be tired of hearing it, but the prescription for staying healthy during the holidays is frequent hand-washing, the use of hand sanitizer and keeping your hands away from your face. In addition, make sure everyone in the family has received their influenza vaccine, and that sick people try to avoid close contact with others.

Trebol Soccer Club, Inc.
Parent/Coach/Player |
It is the opinion of the USSF, the governing body for CYS and Trebol Soccer Club, Inc., that the vast majority of concerns and/or complaints received by a youth soccer organization can be adequately addressed internally by the club's Director of Coaching and/or the club's Executive Director and Executive Committee.
Examples of types of issues deemed appropriate for the Director of Coaching to independently resolve include: a pattern of behavioral issues, communication issues, and education regarding policies and procedures.
Examples of types of issues deemed appropriate for the Executive Director and Executive Committee to resolve include: any complaints alleged against the Coaching Director, any issues that involve a legal issue or issues which could potentially impact the liability of Trebol Soccer Club and any other issue deemed necessary by the Director of Coaching.
I. Policy and Procedure for Voicing a General Concern Regarding a Player, Parent, or General Club Policy
Complaints received by Trebol Soccer Club, either verbally or in writing, will be directed to the Director of Coaching or his/her designee. The Director of Coaching has the authority following said discussion to take the following action, with written detailed documentation:
* Discussion satisfactory, no further action
* Reprimand
* Probation
* Suspension (always to include subsequent appropriate probationary period) – this should include review by E.D.
* Removal (requires written approval of Trebol Soccer Club Board of Directors)
II. Policy and Procedure for Voicing a Concern Involving a Coach
The Trebol Soccer club encourages an open forum for parents and players to express their concerns when presented in a manner that is appropriate and constructive. However, there is an appropriate time and place to voice these concerns. Please refrain from approaching a coach with a concern when the coach is on the field training his or her team and refrain from raising individual concerns in front of the entire team or via team email lists. The above actions are inappropriate and tend to prevent a positive resolution.
To help facilitate resolution to coaching concerns in a manner that is fair to both the player and the coach, the following procedure should be followed:
III. Procedure for Appealing a Decision by the Coaching Director

BreakPoint Blog
First Church of Nobody By: Travis McSherley|Published: March 20, 2009 1:53 PM This is a phenomenon that has always fascinated me: atheists gathering together in a church-like setting to talk about -- well, I'm not exactly clear on that part. I can understand that some people would choose not to believe in God, for varying reasons, but it seems a little strange to meet regularly to talk about it, or to passionately evangelize for the cause. Yet as this Washington Post article points out, the human need for community and companionship cannot be evaded even in the most self-centered of religions. Richard Lints, a professor of philosophical theology at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, a prominent evangelical school in Hamilton, Mass., said the humanist desire for greater community is understandable. He believes God "hard-wired" humans to need it.
But he said he doubts humanism can sustain itself in the local congregations Epstein envisions because community is not a natural part of humanism, where the individual is the ultimate source of meaning. If humanism becomes concerned with the "greater good," and a sort of natural moral order that implies, it starts to resemble religion and humanists will back away, he said. The community at the center of the Post's report was initiated by the humanist "chaplain" -- a rather paradoxical title -- at Harvard. And he offers a rather paradoxical reason for bringing fellow "believers" together: "Salvation is here on earth. . . . We have evolved over 14 billion years without purpose. Now we want purpose, we need to build it into our own lives." If humanism were true, the purposelessness of life would indeed be the universe's greatest tragedy. Yet real purpose is not something that can be created from within. Comments:You must login to this website in order to comment. |

There is a thread for ASh and one for companions/rivals but no one for the TRio. So assuming they are in XY anime which pokemon will they catch?
Printable View
There is a thread for ASh and one for companions/rivals but no one for the TRio. So assuming they are in XY anime which pokemon will they catch?
I feel like they should be carrying their DP Pokémon, if only because their exits were completely abrupt and unexpected, and not in a funny way like Lickitung or anyone. :x
I do wonder what they're going to do now that they both own 4-5 Pokémon each. I guess they could either start over again, or just use their Unova Pokes and continue to ignore their DP ones.
Also, if they're going to be like they were pre-BW, I think we can expect Pokémon along the lines of Wobbuffet and Mime Jr again where they're there to be funny and/or cute rather than be experts at fighting.
I couldn't care less what happens to their Unova Pokemon to be perfectly honest and the only one of their older Pokemon I'd like to see again is Wobbuffet just because it was fun and practically an honorary fourth member of the team. Out of the new Pokemon revealed so far, I can't really see them fitting with Jessie or James. I could see them getting a couple of Poison type Pokemon again for some reason, especially if they continue to be more like their pre-BW selves.
I actually like Amoonguss. But that may just be the species itself. They don't really have any personality. Some of that is down to screen time, but they really seemed to have zombified TR as a whole for most of BW.
I'd like Amoonguss to either develop a personality and begin stun sporing James with affection, or James should get a new grass or grass/poison type that continues the tradition. Funny how after all this "new and fresh" stuff BW tried, I'm eager to see the silly stuff again. Guess BW writers are just that bad.
Personally, I feel like they should leave all their Pokemon at TRHQ, excluding Mime Jr. and Wobbufett.
When they returned with Frillish and Amoonguss, it was an absolute waste. They should have returned with their old Pokemon. The only reason they didn't take them to Unova in the first place was because they would have stood out with the Unova Pokemon. But when they returned there were Kanto Pokemon in eastern Unova. I see no good reason why they shouldn't have returned with their old Pokemon. Their BW Pokemon have absolutely no personality and frankly, their boring.
For XY, the only Pokemon I can see them catching at this point is Skrelp, but I hope that Jessie and James' captures are limited too one, and if not one, than none.
I'm hoping Wobbuffet comes back. I really miss it and if they're still willing to show it in shorts and Kalos has no restriction when it comes to old gen pokemon, I think at the very least Wobbuffet should come back.
I also miss Jessie with Seviper. I'm just so used to seeing it that I wouldn't mind if Seviper came back either. At the same time though, TR should probably just stick to one regional pokemon, Meowth, and Wobbuffet.
Manene was useless most of the time, but his interaction with Kojiro was cute. Wouldn't mind seeing him return.
Either way, I just hope their pokemon have more personality than their BW ones which were only tools all the time.
You'd think they'd be treated better with the way Kojiro got Desumasu and all but I guess it didn't matter.
I hope they bring back Mime Jr. (or this Kalos's equivalent) and Wobuffett .
I hope Cacnea returns too James. I loved the episode when James sent him to train with Gardenia. And I also want Wobuffet back. But I can see James with a Skrelp.
I hope they continue doing what they did before BW and keep only their current Pokémon to take to Kalos. I don't see them with any of the Pokémon revealed so far, but I assume Jessie will catch a poison-type and James, a grass-type.
I think they could either take their Unova Pokemon or start fresh. I could see the return of Wobbufett, and maybe Mime Jr., either way.
If Kalos has some kind of Poison Snake Pokemon, I would think Jessie would catch it. And James will probably continue with the Grass types.
It's a bit difficult to speculate right now, because we only know a small handful of the Gen VI pokemon. I agree that Skrelp seems like the most obvious possibility, of the ones we actually do know.
Of their older pokemon, Wobbuffet is honestly the only one who I currently feel has any kind of chance of coming back, if only because of his continuing presence in the Pikachu shorts (the Meloetta shorts were special anniversary ones with a "reunion" vibe, so those weren't too surprising, but it's interesting that he'll apparently feature in the Eevee short too - I think the writers do enjoy using him as Meowth's sidekick in those things). Even then, I remain a bit doubtful as to whether we'll actually ever see him on the main cast again.
I can see them with a Skrelp but other than that, I'm not really sure. We haven't seen a lot of new Poison types yet and I seriously doubt they'd catch a Fletchling or a Gogoat. I would love to see Wobbuffet come or maybe Chimecho or Mime Jr. but we'll have to see on those fronts.
With the announcement of Spritzee, I can see James picking up one in the Kalos region. It reminds me of Yamask in that it's cute but morbid. If it can learn Smoke Screen or the like, it would be beneficial to have one.
I'm not sure about any carrying over from the Unova region. I never quite liked Amoongus or Frillish. Jessie keeping her Woobat would be cool, though.
Wobbuffet should return if TR are going back to comedy. Seriously the unova pokes can get lost they had no back story no personalities or anything.

Can someone tell me the schedule for tonites show Just really don't want to see openers What time does Priest go on ??
I've been a Priest fan since I was 9 years and was deeply fascinated by their music and style as I turned 11
Hard rocking greetings from Denmark Nicolaj P
To the Priest... I'm sad and disappointed about the lack of US / Canada dates. What about Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - eh?! No Minneapolis date either!? Com'on man! Going to all corners of the planet...I don't think so... I have to travel to Calgary 12+ hours from Winnipeg or Edmonton 15+ hours from Winnipeg in order to see you guys!? Here is to wishful thinking that you may still come to Winnipeg. I saw you for your Nos and Angel tours. It would be awesome to see you one last time. Hey we got our NHL hockey team back the Jets...go Jets go... No disrespect intended, I'm just disgruntled. See you on the road, RedCooper

Tradition and Innovation
Since its founding in 1853, Manhattan College has been committed to providing students with the timeless values embodied in a Lasallian Catholic education, while keeping an eye on the future. Now more than ever, Manhattan College is embracing innovation and reaffirming St. John Baptist de La Salle's mission in a 21st century context. Change is already visible in the blueprints of the state-of-the-art Raymond W. Kelly Student Commons, in new learning-living communities on campus, and in the service opportunities available to students. During the next decade, a detailed strategic vision will serve as the guiding force behind Manhattan College's Renewing the Promise campaign.
Renovations in Riverdale
A new $40 million student commons will operate as the flagship of Manhattan College's campus, providing much-needed resources for a student body that is majority residential. The multi-story facility will feature a wireless lounge with couches, a bookstore, café, dining venue, meeting rooms and space for student activities offices. In addition, the design and structure of the building will ensure LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification and match a commitment to green living on campus.
In newly renovated and updated classrooms throughout campus, students now have the opportunity to hone their expertise in a number of new programs. Responding to a growing consumer demand, the school of engineering has initiated its new cosmetic engineering program – the first of its kind in the nation. Students can also choose from two new majors – labor studies and art history – and will soon be able to deepen their understanding of faith with a Catholic studies minor. The College continues to strengthen graduate advancement through its transformed school of continuing and professional studies and a new five-year graduate MBA program in the school of business.
To enhance the connection between living and learning, Manhattan College launched the Arches program in fall 2011, a close-knit community of 108 freshmen students who live, attend class and participate in local service projects together, while fostering personal and professional growth in a unique setting.
Beyond the Bronx
Manhattan College has also pledged a renewed dedication to helping those in need through its many service opportunities around the city, country and world. Campus Ministry and Social Action continues to sponsor service trips to the world's poorest communities through its Lasallian Outreach Volunteer Experience (LOVE), but has also added fair trade education and fundraising as a way for students to aid the world without leaving campus. Jaspers are increasingly creative in their means to make an impact, from engineering water filtration systems for villages in Africa, to promoting solidarity among Christians, Jews and Muslims through an expanded Holocaust, Genocide and Interfaith Education Center.
A Growing Community
Furthering St. John Baptist de La Salle's mission to provide education to the needy, the College continues to award scholarships to deserving high school students and in the last two years, became a Post-9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon partner, a program that provides financial assistance to veterans.
Manhattan College has pledged to be widely recognized as among the best institutions of its kind by 2025. Inspired by recent achievement in national rankings, the College continues stronger than ever in its campaign to renew the promise of a Lasallian Catholic education while looking forward to a bright future.

Work/Life Balance
The Downside of Telecommuting
When I tell people I work remotely for my job I often get the following reactions:
"That's awesome! How cool that you can work in your pajamas if you want to!"
"I wish I could telecommute, my drive to work takes forever."
"Working from home must be so cool. I'd jump at the chance to do that."
Don't get me wrong. Working from my home office definitely has its perks. I no longer have to endure over fifteen hours of commute time every week like I used to do. I'm always home in time to have dinner with my family. And if my son is home sick from school, it's a lot easier to manage.
With that said, there are definitely some downsides.
I never leave the office. Not because I'm shackled to my job, but because my home IS my office. In other words, there's no real physical boundary. So often I create my own. I will put my devices and my laptop in my home office and close the door during family time like dinner and bedtime.
There's no one else's energy to feed or feed off of. When I worked in a large office of over 150 people downtown, you could almost feel a buzz in the air, especially when we'd get close to project launch dates or if we just won a big pitch. There's something to be said about a physical high five, a wide-eyed expression excitement, and when one needs a little extra encouragement, a sympathetic and supportive look in the eye. For me, I really miss some of that non-verbal communication and high energy of having colleagues in proximity. However, phone calls, emails, and instant messages are a great way to communicate both formally and for casual conversation with virtual colleagues, sometimes though it takes extreme skill to make sure your words come across with the same tone and intent that would be obvious in person, but not so much otherwise.
Feeling part of the larger world. Sometimes even if one reaches thousands every day through blogs, tweets, Facebook, and email newsletters, telecommuters can still feel extremely isolated and lonely. It's amazing what getting out of the home office and visiting a co-working space, coffee shop, or even inviting another telecommuting friend over to work across your dining room table can do. I find myself volunteering to run more family errands because of the human interaction it allows for me.
Obviously, these aren't challenges that can't be overcome and worked around. It just requires a little creativity and at times, a lot of patience. With less distractions I find my productivity levels are higher than they were when I worked in a large office and definitely don't miss my commute (did I mention I don't miss my commute?) Plus, I have a lot more flexibility with schedule, so if I have a personal obligation I can make up for those hours in the evening.
Do you telecommute? What challenges you the most about working remotely and how do you overcome those challenges?
