The Sprint BlackBerry Bold 9650... it's finally here! CrackBerry's David Boyd is currently putting the new CDMA flagship full physical qwerty BlackBerry through its paces and is working on in-depth device review, so while we're waiting on that I figured it wouldn't hurt to get up David's Bold 9650 video unboxing and overview.
In addition to now having WiFi, the optical trackpad and 3D graphics support as compared to the Tour 9630, the Bold 9650 also doubles its internal memory up to 512MB, which as you can tell from the video is something David is very excited about. Out of box with no tweaking to free up memory, you're still left with over 300MB of available space for instaling apps and running the device - a number that's huge to BlackBerry users. A device like the Bold 9000 or Storm 9530 out of box would have closer to 30MB of free application space, so we're literally talking a 10x increase in free memory (though a lot of us hardcore users would prefer to see gigs of free app space).
Check out the video above to get a good look at Sprint's BlackBerry Bold 9650 as it comes out of the box (and if you want to win my 9700 at as David points out, enter here). And if you have any specific questions you'd like answered or things you'd like to see in David's comprehensive review, be sure to drop them in the comments and we'll do our best to address them.

Number 1!
Can't wait to pick this up!
codemaker May 19, 2010 at 4:50 pm
My local sprint store told me that it was "on [their] calender for the 21st", so we'll see if I can pick it up locally two days early. I hope this isn't just a classic case of store rep sendrome...
codemaker May 20, 2010 at 2:02 pm
I just got off the phone with the local sprint store and they have the 9650 in stock today. Check with your local sprint store.
_Moxx_ May 19, 2010 at 4:41 pm
One thing to watch out for with these BlackBerry devices is the screen color. I just returned my Bold 9650 and ordered another one because the screen color has a dull, yellowish tint opposed to a nice white crisp color. I went through this last year with my Tour - actually went through 7 of them to be exact. Unless you have another BlackBerry on hand with a nice white crisp color ayou probably won't see the dull yellowish tint. The best way to compare the two devices is by going to the "options" screens where is't all white so you can see the difference in color. trust me, it's a huge difference.
bobaloo May 19, 2010 at 6:22 pm
So what you're saying is that you are so picky and self-absorbed that you think it's completely acceptable to return six completely functional devices so that you could manipulate your way into something that is so insignificant that you'll notice what you deem a flaw only when compared to another device whose "flawed" properties you also wouldn't notice on their own?
Great job. I thank you and others like you who so effectively force companies to compensate for your actions by keeping product prices high, keep contract offerings expensive, and make return policies less and less customer friendly.
umdaman#CB May 19, 2010 at 7:27 pm
That was a very well stated and thought-out reply...
_Moxx_ May 19, 2010 at 11:11 pm
You actually took the time to write a lame response, why? I was trying to share this problem with people who may not be aware of it, yet you thought it was a good idea to write an attack response. You're a clown, bro, and what you have to say carries no weight with me. Obviously you work for RIM and are very angry I brought this up, but that's just too bad. Do me a favor and entertain me though… what you're saying is that I should allow RIM to get away with selling a poorly developed device when I pay good money for it? If I pay good money for a device I want that device to work perfectly - that includes it's appearance, genius. What don't you understand? If the difference in color was slight I would have no problem, but the difference is huge when compared to another device. Every BlackBerry I have owned up until the Tour didn't have this issue. All of a sudden the Tour device screens are yellow. The RIM sales rep in NYC actually agreed with me when I was at the Sprint store complaining about this issue. He said he never realized it before, but can definitely understand why a customer would be unhappy with the yellow screen. So what's the problem? After bring this issue to rep at the store and the NYC district sales rep, why is that you have an issue with me bringing this up on Crackberry? Do me a favor, tell your boss at RIM to get it right and there will be no problem. You guys are losing a lot of customers these days to iPhone and Android devices so you better start working on some new ideas to keep yourself in the mobile game.
bobaloo May 20, 2010 at 10:23 am
Actually, I took the time to write a well-stated and thought-out reply according to umdaman. I am not attacking you, but your actions and their repercussions. Then again, I suppose I called you picky and self-absorbed, so maybe I did attack you a bit. I thought the labels fit the scenario; although, perhaps "self-absorbed" is a little harsh.
What's funny is that I don't think I expressed any emotion in my original reply. Yours is rather full of it.
In any case, I'm not running away, but I'm not going to have an Internet argument with you, especially in the comment section of a blog post. I will address your questions, though, since it seems important to you.
1)"I want you to explain to me why it's ok for the same model device to have two totally different screen colors. Please, explain why this is acceptable."
Screens may come from two manufacturers. They may have a different process, or they may have a different belief as to what provides the ultimate viewing experience. If the difference between the two is negligible, insofar as you can only tell the subtle difference when comparing the two different versions side by side, then I think that is acceptable. My statement is evidenced by the fact that you had to convince people to understand your complaint with a side-by-side comparison.
2)"Also, some of the returns last year were due to poor trackball issues and battery door issues. I'm sure you have a problem with me and others like me returning a device for trackball issues and loose battery doors, right?"
Of course not. If you have a legitimate failure or defect, then you are entitled to a warranty replacement.
3)"what you're saying is that I should allow RIM to get away with selling a poorly developed device when I pay good money for it? If I pay good money for a device I want that device to work perfectly - that includes it's appearance, genius."
I don't claim to be a genius, but thanks anyway. I don't think the device is poorly developed. According to your complaint, there is a slight, negligible difference in two types of screens. I'm inferring the device otherwise functions properly. Also, what if all the screens were consistent and had the yellowish tint? Would you have returned your phone six times complaining about its yellowish tint which is not noticeable without a comparison? I highly doubt it.
4)"I like individuals like you, you hide behind screen names and run their mouth... I get a good laugh."
Um, okay, _Moxx_ :rolleyes:
Like I said, I'm not going to have an Internet argument with you. If you want to have a healthy, intelligent discussion, I'd be happy to contribute. Start a thread in the forums and PM me the link.
_Moxx_ May 20, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Listen, you're not contributing anything meaningful to this discussion, so after this post I'm done entertaining you and your opinions. Just tell your boss at RIM to deliver quality products in the future or continue to lose market share – it's that simple.
Moving on… at the end of the end, It's the customer who needs to be satisfied with a product so if a product is not delivered as it should be then it should be returned.
For example, I recently purchased two 22" Dell monitors and if they had different screen colors – one a nice white crisp color and the other a dim, yellowish tint, I would have a serious problem with this too. Are you telling me you would be ok with two exact flat monitors sitting side-by-side displaying two difference colors? Like I said, this is not a slight difference when compared to one another. If you really don't care about the quality of the products you purchase then that's your choice. However, most customers care greatly about the quality of the products they purchase and if they pay good money for something they want it to be perfect. There should be no difference in screen color when we are talking about the same EXACT BlackBerry device. Why doesn't iPhone run into this problem? Android? Why do they get there screens colors exact?
These are just your opinions and obviously not fact. I understand device are manufactured at different locations, but that output should be the exact same - period. I want the same quality product delivered regardless where it is manufactured. What don't you understand? If I decided to purchased 20 BlackBerry Bold devices for my family members in time for Christmas and 11 out of the 20 had yellow screens do you think all 20 family members would be satisfied? Be honest, 9 look nice and clear and 11 look light a yellow film is over the content. Companies must love customers like you – never complain because you're afraid to speak your mind when you're "real" name is attached to the discussion.
Btw, when I was being sarcastic and said I like people like you who hide behind Internet screen names, I said it because you wouldn't take that tone with me in person – trust me. Therefore, you should show the same respect to an individual online that you would show them in person.
bobaloo May 20, 2010 at 5:28 pm
you solicited a response from me , asking me to answer your questions.
I did. How does that not contribute to the discussion?
Multiple device returns/replacements are very common among small electronics purchasers. I think this subject has some wheels.
This could have been a fun/interesting discussion. I invited you to help me escalate it to a more mature level in the forums.
I would still contribute to a discussion in the forums if you'd like to start a thread and send me the link. I'm not your enemy. We clearly have different opinions here, which is one of a few driving forces in a successful public forum.
But for now you seem to have shut out that possibility in the blog post comment section, so I won't address your most recent reply.
Until next time...
bobaloo May 20, 2010 at 6:23 pm
Oh, I almost forgot.
For your reading pleasure:
There are more, but the urls are longer and get truncated.
also, HTC and other android manufacturers have similar search results
_Moxx_ May 19, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Btw, don't run away, I want you to reply to my comment. I want you to explain to me why it's ok for the same model device to have two totally different screen colors. Please, explain why this is acceptable. Also, some of the returns last year were due to poor trackball issues and battery door issues. I'm sure you have a problem with me and others like me returning a device for trackball issues and loose battery doors, right? I like individuals like you, you hide behind screen names and run their mouth... I get a good laugh.
Madness87 May 20, 2010 at 3:32 am
I won't take sides on this issue. Just that it's pointless to argue on this video. To the guy who said it's ridiculous for wanting to switch phones. If he is allowed to do it and there's no harm being done to you, why do you have a problem with it?
To the guy switching phones, you do realize that RIM gets many companies to manufacture the phones right? Some are made in Canada, some in Mexico, some in Hungary etc...
It's quite possible the screens although the same size/resolution are from two different companies and that's why the tint or color is different. I saw this in the Bold 9700 and my Nintendo DS Lite as well... though whatever floats your boat, I just want to say I don't think it's a flaw, just the way the screen is.
phonejunky May 20, 2010 at 9:33 am
I'm with moxx in this argument why sit around and settle for a lesser device when you could have better thats silly.
Jake Storm May 20, 2010 at 12:54 am
The screen on my Macbook is like that. Slightly yellowish compared to my hp notebook. I like it. Much easier on the eyes than a bright white screen.
Certainly not something I would return 7 phones over.
Good thing I'm not in customer service. I would have told you to go pound sand after the 2nd phone.
AshHaushaltswaren May 20, 2010 at 2:58 am
thump up to the comment of bobaloo
mechanic_joe May 20, 2010 at 8:58 am
thumb down to the comment from bobaloo, first thing he does is personally attack the guy. Great way to constructively get your point across, works just as well on a public forum as it does on a playground.
mechanic_joe May 20, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Lol ! Well if your gonna throw emoticons at me... Heres one for you :) Its public forum, everyone's entitled to an opinion, thats what makes it so great. Sorry if I offended you.
bobaloo May 20, 2010 at 5:19 pm
Just trying to make light of it, MJ.
Thanks for having a sense of humor. I'm not offended, brother.
rendrop May 19, 2010 at 4:42 pm
there have been pictures posted in 9650 forum where the trackpad looks a smidget high on the left. how is it actually?
hornakapopolis May 19, 2010 at 10:41 pm
I saw a poster somewhere else mention his was like that and get a similar response. Mine is, too.
Not that it shouldn't be cirrect, but it seems to be just off enough to make you notice and then spend the next three minutes staring at it making sure you're right.
Jessica.Aracely May 19, 2010 at 4:43 pm
If I have a 9630 with Sprint and something mysteriously happens to it...will they replace it with the 9650?
codemaker May 19, 2010 at 4:49 pm
I have a friend who is trying to get his 9630 replaced with a 9650 throught the retentions department, but I doubt he will be successful.
Jessica.Aracely May 19, 2010 at 4:51 pm
oh well...I guess I'll wait until its time to renew...I've only had my tour for about 8 months...its still good, I just want the trackpad.
codemaker May 20, 2010 at 2:05 pm
Just heard back from my friend. Looks like sprint is going to let him get a Bold 9650 for $199 and renew his contract early. He complained about his multiple tour replacements, lingering trackball problems, and daily reboots.
CPTHREE May 19, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Way to go making the bold the Area 51 of smartphones
MusicMtl May 19, 2010 at 4:46 pm
When's it coming to Telus? :)
nfldberryuser May 19, 2010 at 4:54 pm
Not only that, but the video overview shows yet again how far the Canadian carriers lag behind their American counterparts in terms of not only contract pricing / renewals, but also pre-loaded features, i.e., being of the useful variety strikes my Canadian mind as odd and unfamiliar:) Still, can't wait - finally a chance to get a CDMA Bold!!!
FalkensMaze May 19, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Why would Telus or Bell pickup a CDMA phone????
Now that they've launched HSPA and have had the Bold 9700 for 7 months now, why would they move back to the 1990's????
CDMA is dead. Outside the USofA CDMA is in the death rattle. The only reason Sprint and Verizon are able to succeed is because AT&T suck as bad as they do.
If AT&T could have Verizon coverage and network backhaul, there would be no question that CDMA would be gone. But AT&T does suck beyond belief and the US is stuck with CDMA.
shabbs May 19, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Agreed. CDMA is indeed a dying breed.
Now, bring on the 21Mbps BlackBerry Curve 98900 or whatever it will be called.
Heh heh.
juttin3 May 19, 2010 at 4:51 pm
signal goes up and down very easily if you touch phone or move it a few inches. opera is almost unoperatable mouse moves so fast u cant control it .has lag pulling up web pages or pulling up data.
tazman69 May 19, 2010 at 6:23 pm
I'm really disappointed to hear this about the signal. My tour does that & I was really hoping the bold would be much improved in that area. My 8830 was very solid on the signal.
cheech73 May 19, 2010 at 6:59 pm
i heard just the opposite, i heard that reception is better than the tour and almost as good as the curve 8330 which IMO had excellent reception.
hornakapopolis May 19, 2010 at 10:46 pm
In all fairness, it's not like the trackpad does that for every app, though. It's clearly a trackpad/Opera issue... not just a trackpad issue.
James727#CB May 19, 2010 at 4:52 pm
When is it coming to Verizon?
MusicMtl May 19, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Why does it look like the trackpad is flashing? Is that because the camera is picking up (and converting) frequencies of light that we are not normally supposed to be able to see? Or does it actually flash like that?
jamiedhouse May 19, 2010 at 4:54 pm
PLEASE make a release date announcement!!!
olemil May 20, 2010 at 12:26 am
I guess when ever they get done with their intense testing like they did with the .591 OS....LOL.
havanahjoe May 19, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Was this filmed in a normally problematic area for getting a Sprint signal or does the 9650 have a weak-ish radio?
David Boyd May 20, 2010 at 6:48 am
My house is just a cell phone dead zone for all carriers unless I'm on the 2nd floor near a window. Signal is great as soon as get a block away from my house.
BUKEsq May 19, 2010 at 4:58 pm
how fast is it (a number please... not a physical description like "real fast")?
_Moxx_ May 19, 2010 at 5:15 pm
The processor is 624 MHz. The Tour is 528 MHz, btw.
SCrid2000 May 19, 2010 at 5:12 pm
olemil May 20, 2010 at 12:28 am
I heard they come with an Intel 3gig quad core liquid cooled processor...is that fast enough for you?
jzee923 May 19, 2010 at 5:22 pm
How's the battery cover?
Is it still loose like the 9630?
_Moxx_ May 19, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Battery door is perfect. Fits nice and tight with no wiggle.
rugbyua9#CB May 19, 2010 at 5:28 pm
If you have an old case from the 9630... they will not fit this if you plan on using the USB port... they moved it about 1/8 of an inch up on the device.
You will need to cut or buy a new case.
_Moxx_ May 19, 2010 at 5:32 pm
While the USB charging port moved up slightly, this is incorrect information. I took the "official Sprint" gel case from my Tour and put it on my new Bold and it's perfect. No issue whatsoever. If you have a gel case from another vendor then it is possible it will not work.
TheUnforgiven May 20, 2010 at 12:49 am
I have the RIM Blackberry Tour OEM skin and the charger port is still accessible, without any modifications what so ever. Though, like Moxx said, some cases may not work as well without modification.
wize00 May 19, 2010 at 5:32 pm
Can somebody tells me why I had a Tour, I currently have a 9700 but I feel attracted by the 9650? Have to say that I'm missing the size of the 9000 and the 9650 is a bit bigger than the 9700 even if the keyboard is the same size.....
jrmtz85 May 19, 2010 at 5:46 pm
I ordered the 9630 on July 7 when it came out last year. As a Sprint Premier user, do I have to wait til July 7 before I can order it, or can I get it before that?
_Moxx_ May 19, 2010 at 5:56 pm
You may want to check your dates. Sprint didn't released the Blackberry Tour until July 12, 2009 via telesales. Nonetheless, the answer to your question is "yes," you will have to wait one full year as a Sprint Premier customer and two full years as a non-premier customer before you are eligible for an upgrade. Otherwise you will have to pay the full price.
jrmtz85 May 19, 2010 at 6:03 pm
Ah you're right about the date, sorry about that. Thought it was the 7th for some reason. And thanks for the response. I guess I'm just sad I won't be able to get it by a planned trip over the 4th of July weekend.
tazman69 May 19, 2010 at 6:20 pm
If you ordered it in July & are Sprint Premier then you'll be able to upgrade as of July 1. Sprint always bumps your upgrade eligibility to the 1st day of the month. So you can pick it up before your july 4th trip. :-)
cheech73 May 19, 2010 at 7:04 pm
you can pick up the phone just a tad earlier if your account is in good standards and if your a premier customer. for example i just called my self to see if i can get the phone early just not 2 months early, they will allow you to get the upgrade 2 weeks before your contract is up, you may have to beg a little, lol.
what size memory card i heard 2gb
Not EPIC FAIL booooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrring
FalkensMaze May 19, 2010 at 6:39 pm
Perhaps you'd like to step up to the mic and put forward some effort and show everyone how it should be done????
musicinmyblood23 May 19, 2010 at 6:37 pm
I'd like to see how the battery life of the 9650 compares to the other Bolds on the market. I'd also like to see if there is any kind of problems with the battery door or any kind of build/hardware issues. totally looking forward to the in-depth review of this phone.
Boogies_Blackberry May 19, 2010 at 6:41 pm
Unboxed mine yesterday and was up all night just about playing with it! LOVE this phone! Great upgrade from the 8330!
ranbal May 19, 2010 at 6:58 pm
...Booooooooo Verizon. Punks.
djberry33 May 19, 2010 at 7:05 pm
New to BB, and enjoying the 8530. Is this one's camera (w/ LED) going to produce significantly better pics/vid, and does it have more processor power than the 8530. I'm not a gamer, just the basic programs plus sprint navigator, google maps, music, etc. Thanks.
dr sauch May 19, 2010 at 7:13 pm
Because usually, they're the ones waiting.
meljac600 May 19, 2010 at 7:29 pm
i will wait for storm 3
I'm not able to upgrade until October, the way I see it, it's a chance to see all the "kinks" get worked out and maybe OS 6.0 and Webkit Browser will be available at that time! Until then, I'll stick with my Tour 9630.
olemil May 20, 2010 at 12:32 am
I'm in the same boat as you, yearly upgrade is Oct. 4th, but I figure by then all the bugs will be worked out like when I bought my Tour. I will be getting one for sure..looks so sweet!!!
ReyRey305 May 19, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Is it just me or does the trackpad have a progress light under it and it flickers when you're doing something on the phone? that would be amazing to have and if there was a way to make it stay lit or light up when you touch it for ease of use in the dark.
scorpioz May 20, 2010 at 3:13 am
copying the link from earlier comment. The flickering is not visible (just shows in camera).
pgrtag May 19, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Is the Battery the same as the Tour?
hornakapopolis May 19, 2010 at 10:50 pm
Yes. It's the same battery
mike340t May 19, 2010 at 8:51 pm
Still waiting till aug/sep just to see the reviews as no big rush as still the same as my Tour.. I do LOVE upgrading every year with Sprint... Also, what is up with 300 megs free out of 500 and out of the box??? My Tour always has over a 100 megs with about a dozen extra apps/themes installed (including nav and docs to go)... Should be closer to 350 free no? What extra does this OS build/default set up have to take up so much mem??
AlexanderVander May 19, 2010 at 8:59 pm
So now when does it come to US Cellular? =P
hearture36 May 19, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Did anyone else notice that the device booted up almost instantly?
thecrazyone1217 May 19, 2010 at 10:13 pm
That was just powered down not all fully off.
KPower667 May 19, 2010 at 9:12 pm
Damn That's A Sexy Phone. I'm happy with my Tour 9630 but the memory is such an issue for me... Ooooo and that trackpad is nice. If only Bell would get this..I'm Willing To Pay Full Price Just To Get This Phone Early!
ricking May 19, 2010 at 9:26 pm
wow i hope kevin did not do this one inop!!!!!!!!!
colderemy May 19, 2010 at 9:54 pm
can't wait to make the upgrade!
Dark_Halmut May 19, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Would like to see a side by side comparison between the Bold 9650(tour2) and Bold 9700. Both are touchpad, both have wifi, both are similarly sized.
moonlessnight May 19, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Now if only Verizon would release it. D: I'm getting so impatient.
RedBank May 19, 2010 at 10:45 pm
not the video...but the device. 512mb memory is the only highlight here if you ask me (and you didnt).
Jake Storm May 20, 2010 at 1:09 am
I'd say that's pretty darn exciting, considering that's likely the minimum needed to run OS6
princ3shah May 19, 2010 at 11:04 pm
I m So excited for this but when is verizon releasing theirs?
HTC_Droid_EvO May 19, 2010 at 11:10 pm
Look at that memory, lmao....really? Thats your highlight for buying the tour all over...sad.
Previous tour owner speaking....
olemil May 20, 2010 at 12:37 am
True but an improvement.... so how many times do you have to charge your roid to make it through the day??? LOL
RedBank May 20, 2010 at 7:17 am
Im a Storm1 owner and have been since it was released...so coming from a 9530 owner...yes...the memory aint too shabby.
Is it the highlight for buying the tour all over again...no. bc i never had one to begin with and dont plan on getting this when it comes to VzW either.
it does nothing for me...and i mean NOTHING.
im bout to jump to the Android platform myself...just waiting for the right time...
princ3shah May 19, 2010 at 11:12 pm
because verizon couldnt get a decent blackberry yet i had to go get a 9700 ......now i m chilling with 2 phones jus release this verizon i would like jus one phone please
The General84 May 20, 2010 at 12:01 am
I am a long time customer of sprint in fact a premier customer they have been great to me. I am wondering if i should pay full price for the bold 9650 when i just bought the 9630 tour near the end of last year. I am eligible December 1st this year for a new upgrade. I am wondering if should make the leap and pay full price any thoughts or should i wait until December? Thanks for your help
notoriousslav May 20, 2010 at 12:17 am
unless you need the extra memory, or you got to have the trackpad, stick with the tour until you can get an upgrade.
notoriousslav May 20, 2010 at 12:13 am
I got the tour as soon as it came out, I am debating right now if I should upgrade to the bold, is it worth it?
robj75 May 20, 2010 at 12:20 am
If the holster is indeed the same as the one included with the 9630, it is not leather, as stated in the unboxing.
lobbyintx May 20, 2010 at 1:53 am
I'll pass on this phone since no wifi calling.
braydonluvspink May 20, 2010 at 2:24 am
I like the bold 9700 waaayy better, I hate the red keys on this one :s
lifegoes00 May 20, 2010 at 4:23 am
So today I exchanged my tour in for the bold 9650 thanks to best buys geeksquad black tie protection at no cost! I read the comment about the yellow screen earlier today, mine seems to be white. What I noticed when using the camera is that it is more bright on the tour than it is on the bold, I kind of see a yellow glare on the bold, anyone noticing this?
urnene4ever May 20, 2010 at 8:26 am

What a great phone! Got mine delivered two days ago, and I love it. The screen has great resolution and easy to see. After setting it up and transferring all the stuff from my 8330 (seamlessly done via Blackberry Desktop Manager), and getting everything personalized, I've thoroughly enjoyed the phone. The memory allowed me to download and use some of the great apps available on Mobile Apps. It's taking me a while to get used to the quick, fast trackpad. It's so much faster than the trackball and much more sensitive. But I'm catching on, and definitely don't miss the trackball. The only downer is the lengthy battery charge time. It definitely take longer to charge this battery than the one on my 8330. Probably just a characteristic of the battery, but annoying. I've ordered a backup battery, so that will solve the problem. A good battery charger is my next step. I really like this phone, and have no need for all the features on the EVO...at least for now. Now, all I'm waiting for is OS 6. Any idea when it'll be available?

I ordered directly from Sprint on the 17th, received it the next day and it is by far the best Blackberry I have ever had, and I have a drawer full. Very fast, optical trackball is super smooth and accurate, and finally Wi Fi. It does still fit in the 9630 holster, too.

If you are reasonably (not completely happy, especially indoors) with the T-Mo service, would you switch from the 9700 to the 9650 (also if there was no cost impact to you for it was paid for my your firm)? Can you please compare the devices?

Overall pleased with the phone - sturdy build but not heavy or bulky. HUGE improvement of trackpad vs. trackball. BUT ... I don't know if there's a sw upgrade, but I have continual problems with freezes and hangups. I have an email folder that is permanently reading "deleting" (and has been for six days; it's frozen and nothing I do will get rid of it).
But the camera, video, keypad, sound quality and everything else is quite good. I had to sacrifice my Tour once I hopped from Verizon to Sprint, and I'm just as satisfied with the Bold. If only I could get the OS problem solved ...

Mel Gibson Re-Unites With Estranged Wife for Charity Event
The special occasion was the 10th birthday of Maria de Jesus and Maria Teresa Quiej-Alvaraez, two Guatemalan girls borns as conjoined twins connected at the skulls. The pair garnered international attention when surgeons at Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA Medical Center separated them in August of 2002.
Gibson's estranged wife Robyn was formerly the president of the board of directors of nonprofit group Mending Kids, a group that provides life-altering surgical care for children worldwide: the Gibsons were honored for their contributions to the organization.
"We're all involved in Josie and Teresa's lives," People Magazine reported Gibson as saying (the actor was using the girls' nicknames). "It's incredible seeing Josie and Teresa do so well. Listening to Josie speak, you think, 'Man, this is the happiest kid I've ever seen."
Recently back from two Mending Kids medical trips to Guatemala and Panama, Mel told People "We gave them financial support, but it was hands-on sometimes. I remember Robyn taking care of children who came here [for surgery]."
"All of my kids do give back. Our children have been raised that way and that will be an integral part of their lives as they move on," he continued.

Good Wednesday morning to you, South Jersey, and Happy Hump Day as well! Showers began to move through the region through the tail end of the overnight period, and they have spread in coverage from western Cumberland County to the entire region. This is all due to an area of low pressure that will run along last night's cold front, which has stalled just beyond the New Jersey coastline. Scattered showers will move through the area over the course of the day today and through the evening as well. One thing you may have noticed already is the sharp difference in the temperature outside. It was 71 degrees yesterday afternoon for a high temperature, and today we'll be lucky to reach the mid 50s on the mainland and beaches since the aforementioned cold front passed through the area late last night. Skies will remain cloudy through the day with a northwest wind at 5 to 15mph. Showers will gradually taper off through the evening and into the night. High pressure will then begin to nudge to the east from the Great Lakes and begin to clear us out overnight as well. Temperatures will drop further than what we saw last night...upper 30s on the mainland and low 40s on the coast with a northwest wind at 5 to 10mph. That northwesterly wind both at the surface and further up in the atmosphere will continue to channel cooler air down into the Northeast from Canada. Along with that, the jet stream will also dig well to our south and allow for that cooler air to pool into the region.
The setup mentioned above will remain with us through the rest of the work week and into the first half of the weekend. Skies will remain partly to mostly sunny with below average temperatures by day and by night. Highs will struggle at times to reach the mid to upper 50s on the mainland and mid 50s on the coast by day, with lows near 40 on the coast and low to mid 30s on the mainland. It's the mainland lows on Thursday and Friday night that will be monitored for the potential for some patchy frost. There is no widespread frost or killing freeze in the forecast. Either way, this potential hinges on what kind of cloud cover (If any) we see at night as well as the wind. A calm wind will allow for frost to form. A breezy night will circulate the air at the surface and not allow for the formation of frost. If any advisories are posted, your NBC40 weather team will keep you posted. At any rate, a modest warm up may begin to take hold of the area as early as Monday with highs near 60 under sunny skies. Winds will begin to shift to a more southerly direction and bring up some warmer air, but it won't be a significant event. Rather, we should at least be able to return to near average temperatures by day and night through the middle of next week.
Have a great day!

Numbers produce an image of a city's place in time. For Philadelphia in 2012, the picture is of a city in transition on a number of fronts. There are familiar problems and one promising demographic trend.
In the last year, unemployment in the city was down, but job creation slowed from the year before. Residential building permits were up, but home sales dropped a sixth straight time. Violent crime fell overall, while the homicide total increased for the second year in a row.
One positive sign for the city's future, as reported in a new statistical analysis by Pew's Philadelphia Research Initiative, is that the number of young adults in Philadelphia has risen substantially in recent years. The question is whether those young people will find the place attractive enough to stay.

During the past 33 years, St. John's businessman Bruce Templeton has devoted the month of December to visiting children and assisting Santa Claus. At school parties, country clubs, or in the critical-care unit of hospitals, young people ask him profound questions about Santa Claus and the true meaning of Christmas. Templeton has collected hundreds of stories and questions during more than 1000 visits – some of them curious, some happy, and some heartbreaking. In his memoir of three decades he shares some of the most unforgettable questions. Templeton always tries to bring hope and joy through his visits, but he often finds it is the children who change his life and the lives of those who assist him on these extraordinary journeys. For readers who enjoyed the bestselling Tuesdays With Morrie and Everything I Need To Know, I Learned from a Children's Book, Bruce Templeton's memoir will fill them with enough inspiration and joy to last an entire year.
The Man In The Red Suit: A Memoir
Item Detail
About the Author
Bruce Templeton is an investment advisor, a Rotarian, a past chair of the St. John's Board of Trade and former regional manager for the Bowring retail chain. For the past 33 years he has assisted Santa Claus during more than 1000 visits with children. He believes in the healing power of the Christmas season.
Book ReviewSanta Claus just might be the hardest working person on the planet. For all that, he loves his work, and Bruce Templeton knows exactly why.Financial advisor and author Bruce Templeton knows Santa better than any of us likely ever will - through the close friendship that's bound them for 33 years. That's a long time to know someone. And when that someone is also the world's most popular and anticipated person, you gain a few insights; on life, and on the inner workings of Santa's mind.In the new book 'The Man in the Red Suit,' Bruce Templeton shares what he's learned; about Santa's strong but gentle beliefs, the abiding magic of Christmas, and what it is to see the world through a child's eyes. Because if there's one population group in whom Santa takes a strong interest, it's children.Children — from the well-to-do to the poor; the healthy and the sick; the happy ones and the sullen ones; the children fortunate enough to enjoy the love and security of a comfortable home, and those children in our midst who endure the stress of poverty and family troubles — all have been Santa's profoundest influence. As Mr. Templeton's book makes clear, all of these children, in their particular way, have taught Santa Claus important lessons. He's the person he is because of them.'The Man in the Red Suit' is a beautiful and gracious book that honors children. Because, you see, it might look as though Santa is the one giving all the gifts — when all that gift-giving is actually Santa's gesture of thanks for the privilege of knowing them.While reading Templeton's accounts of working with Santa, accompanying him on his visits, there were times when I had to fight back tears: the little girl who asked Santa whether the spirit of her recently-deceased mother would be with him in his sleigh on Christmas Eve; the terminally ill six-year-old boy who couldn't stay awake long enough to meet Santa, but whose grandmother took a photo of Santa laying his head down to share a space on the boy's pillow — as proof to the boy that Santa himself had left him that new teddy bear.But there are happy moments, too. And Templeton's candid book shares many moments when Santa was caught off-guard by a child's particularly pointed question — such as "Do your feet smell when you take off your boots?" Or, "How do you pick up after your reindeer?" Yes, even Santa can get a little tongue-tied.Even with the help of his elves, Santa can't do all the things he does without a lot of support, and Templeton's book is also a tribute to all the people who help him during special visits at Christmastime and throughout the year. Santa has a lot of children to thank, and he is assisted in this monumental task by community groups and professional organizations of every kind.Read 'The Man in the Red Suit' during quiet moments this Christmas, or give it as a gift.Western Star Book ReviewDarrell SquiresAssistant manager of Public Information and Library Resources Board, West Newfoundland-Labrador division
ExcerptWill my mommy's spirit be with you?December 5thBack in 2006,some very creative people at the local Hits 99.1 FM radio station posed an interesting challenge for their listeners. If your child could fly directly to the North Pole, what question would your boy or girl ask Santa? The prize would involve making that dream come true for 18 children and 18 parents. (Thank goodness Santa has lots of elves!) The only requirement was that the child be between five and eight years old. And they had to live within driving distance of St. John's. Nobody was really prepared for what happened next.Canada Post and the Internet got swamped. In fact, more than 6,000 families responded, which meant the station personnel had a great deal of reading to do. Over a period of weeks, the radio crew announced the names of one child each day until all 18 were named. The calls, live on the radio each morning to the winning child, were highly anticipated. (Santa got to pick a child as well, which I will explain shortly.) Fortunately, we didn't have to worry about the actual transportation to the North Pole. Provincial Airlines Limited (PAL), a wonderful Newfoundland airline with a strong sense of corporate social responsibility, had volunteered the use of one of their planes and its crew. The excitement grew each day as we got closer to the big trip.There was probably a bit of chaos in some homes around the city at 5 a.m. as 18 children were shaken from their sleep, dressed, and taken out into the cold on a Saturday morning. They were driven to the airport by 6 a.m. so they could be met by the airline staff – all appropriately dressed as elves. The children (each with one parent) got their flight tickets, passed through security, and went on board the "Santa Flight" to the North Pole. The only alteration to the plane was that Christmas wrapping paper had been cut and taped on the inside of the windows. At 7 a.m., the plane was towed out on the runway, where it taxied and then took flight. After roughly 20 minutes, the pilot came on the P.A. system to announce that the North Pole was in his view. They would be landing shortly.Meanwhile, there was great activity inside the PAL aircraft hangar. Elves were making their lists. They had arranged a long table piled high with gifts all beautifully wrapped. Very carefully, those lists were checked to make sure the seating plan and children's names were connected to the proper seat and row numbers. The clever elves had called the parents prior to the flight, so that Santa could have the gift of their dreams for them. If you are wondering how that is possible, this was the North Pole and everything is possible!When the plane touched down, it taxied to an enormous hangar. The big doors were opened, the aircraft was pulled inside, and blocks were placed on the floor to steady the wheels. Once the engines were shut down, the pilot announced, "Welcome to the North Pole!" The children were told that Santa was busy feeding Rudolph, but he would enter the plane in a minute. Outside, a wheeled ladder was placed near the side of the plane. A PAL employee then climbed to the top with a broom, which he swished back and forth on the top of the plane. The pilot came on the intercom again to ask the children if they could hear the reindeer on the roof.Meanwhile, the ground-handling staff picked up two large boxes of real snow which had been brought down from Labrador (there was no snow in St. John's at this time). Santa knelt on the concrete floor with his arms outstretched and they dumped six inches of powdery snow on his head and arms. Then he stood up, jingled his bells, and with a hearty "Ho, Ho, Ho" he walked up the steps and into the plane.The noise level dropped from high-pitched pandemonium to hushed disbelief as a snow-covered Santa stepped into the aisle of the plane. Children laughed, parents cried. Santa shook the snow off, much to the delight of everyone. Santa has lots of elves, of course, and so the night before this big event his workshop at the North Pole had been sent the seating plan for the airplane. Santa knew the names of all the 18 children, exactly where they were seated, as well as the questions they wanted Santa to answer.Billy in seat 1B asked, "Do your feet smell as bad as Uncle Billy's when you take off your boots?" Annie in 3A asked, "Does Santa have a pooper-scooper to pick up after the reindeer just like I do for my dog when we walk in the park?"There was a six-year-old girl named Kaylee who was seated in seat 7A. Santa had thought long and hard about Kaylee's question, because he knew it was going to be a tough one to answer. Kaylee's mother had died in a tragic car accident eight weeks earlier. In his letter to the radio station, Kaylee's father said his daughter was heartbroken. She missed her mother terribly, and she only wanted to know the one thing which – if true – would make her a happy child at Christmas. Kaylee had a tough question.With each child and each row, I knew that I was getting closer to Kaylee. Then I saw a man sitting next to a beautiful little girl who was crying. She stretched out her arms and I picked her up. She looked me straight in the eye and said, "Okay, Santa, what is the answer to my question?" I gulped. The question was simple but heartfelt, and there was no room for error.This is what Kaylee wanted to know."Santa, will my mommy's spirit be with you in the sleigh on Christmas Eve when you deliver the presents?"I looked at Kaylee, swallowed hard, and said, "Kaylee, you don't need to worry. Your mommy's spirit will not only be with Santa on Christmas Eve; your mommy's spirit will be with you for the rest of your life."Kaylee slowly released her very tight grip around my neck."Thank you, Santa. That is all I need for Christmas." Her dad looked at me and bravely tried to smile.On each visit, I have teddy bears with a scarf that says "Santa's Own Teddy." Sometimes, I carry more, as I did on that special day. I gently put Kaylee back in her seat and I gave her Santa's Own Teddy. I shook hands with her dad as a tear rolled down his cheek. I blinked myself, hoping the tears would flow into my beard. I knew I had to hold it together because there was one more challenge for me.I mentioned earlier that there were 18 children. The radio station had selected 17, but Santa got to pick one, too. That was Santa's "fee" for his visit with the children. We had called the Janeway to ask that they select a child for whom this might sadly be the child's last Christmas. That little girl was on the plane in row 9. She had an inoperable tumour, but no one else was told about her health, and even Santa only learned later about the seriousness of her condition. The encounter on the plane that day will stay with me forever.Soon the pilot was back on the intercom telling the kids that Santa had to finish feeding the reindeer. We also needed time for the elves to finish distributing gifts to some very surprised children. "Santa got my letter, mummy! Look what he gave me!"Santa waved goodbye, the door was closed, and the tractor pushed the plane out onto the tarmac for its flight back to St. John's. As I watched it take off, I marveled at how we get opportunities every day to make special memories for a child. And this day, an incredible group of people had all come together to keep the dream alive for children. They will never forget their experience.As for Santa, I still have a photo taken with Kaylee in row 7. I will remember her question for a long, long time.

SCEA Software Engineer Allegedly Working On "Voice Chat Library For PlayStation 4"
Posted on Wednesday, May 16 @ 11:10:48 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Sheesh. When will people learn that LinkedIn is not the best place to list unannounced stuff that you're currently working on? In yet another resume-related story, Frederick Umminger, a software engineer at SCEA noted in his resume that he is currently working on a "voice chat library for PlayStation 4."
While it's certainly a possibility that this is simply a typo, we wouldn't be surprised if it truly is an accidental leak. Sony hasn't officially announced anything regarding a new console, but the PlayStation 4 - allegedly codenamed 'Orbis' - has been rumored for quite some time now.
Be sure to stay tuned to Game Revolution for future updates on Sony's heavily rumored next-gen console.

Authorities confirmed detectives are working to determine if this is a case of elder abuse.
Events began unfolding Thursday night after an ambulance rushed the woman in her early 70s to the hospital. Police were on scene in the 300 block of Peck Street for more than 17 hours Thursday and Friday. Crime scene technicians wore masks, gloves and boot covers while processing evidence.
No charges have been filed as of Friday afternoon and the woman remains hospitalized. Her condition wasn't available.
Some neighbors told KCTV5 that they thought a younger appearing man lived alone in the residence.
"I really thought that he lived alone. I never saw anyone," Yvonne Morris said. "Shortly after I got home, police showed up at the house. They taped off the front and back of the house."
Morris and residents are shaken by the police activity.
"It's a sad situation," Morris said.

I'm perfectly fine with Nate on the bench..because if we really need some energetic scoring off the bench, why not give TD a shot? I know he doesn't quite have Nate's skill, but neither one is guaranteed to be efficient; at least with Douglas we know if his shot isn't falling he will continue to hustle and contribute on the defense, while Nate will just continue to try and pull off circus tricks while opposing guards run past him or shoot over him.
I hate the "We Want Nate" chants, if there is anyone we should want, it's another undersized SG sitting on our bench.

Journal for the M5POST M5 Euro Delivery owners reunion at the 2 Day M Performance School.
We have spied a new F10 M5 LCI mule and it showcases some new design elements. Seen for the first time on the M5 are double slatted kidney grilles (a la the M6). Like the M6, the F10 M5 LCI will also feature an M5 badge on the grilles, which is covered under black tape but can be seen on this mule's grilles.
This M5 wears new style wheels, in black, which look great set off against the gold M carbon ceramic brakes. Also seen are … CONTINUED
Great side by side comparison video of various F10 M5 aftermarket exhausts – 3D Design rears, Akrapovic Evo, Eisenmann Sport rears, and Meisterschaft Super Light GT w/LXR centers.
Cold start, idle, and rev action! A little something for everybody, be it rears only, full system, valved, or not.
Watch as a tuned F10 M5 belonging to M5POST member Niko1414 takes on various cars at the latest Airstrip Attack races.
The races featured in the videos are against a CLS 63, 997 Turbo, C63, and Lamborghini LP560.
The F10 M5 are finally being delivered with M Carbon Ceramic Brakes. An M5POST owner shares with us our first owner's review of the ceramic brakes from his just delivered M5.
We have also posted a full technical training document on how the M Ceramic Brakes compare the standard M5 brakes.
The F10 5 Series and F10 M5 LCI refresh models are coming soon, but spy photos have shown the external styling updates will be understated, with tweaks to the upper front fascia and headlight updates (sleeker looking and with optional full LED squared-off headlights), but the M5 will receive no changes to the lower front bumper design. Like the 5 Series, the F10 M5 will also receive light updates to its tail lights and lower rear bumper.
As for the interior, the most recent 5 Series … CONTINUED
Check out this tasteful F10 M5 build by Performance Technic for a local owner featuring Akrapovic Exhaust with carbon fiber tips, P3Cars vent gauge, OEM LED interior lights, OEM pedal covers, BMW M Performance spoiler, HRE wheels, and M6 steering wheel retrofit.
The M6 steering wheel seen here will be equipped in the upcoming F10 M5 LCI (facelift model)
As expected, the 2014 F10 M5 will be receiving a LCI update/facelift together with the F10 5 Series. The 5 Series LCI facelift has already been partially revealed, but it's been unknown how much of the M5′s design would be affected.
These spy photos show that the F10 M5 will receive the same upper front fascia and headlight updates [pics] as the 5 Series, but will receive no changes to the lower front bumper design. Like the 5 Series, the F10 M5 will also receive light … CONTINUED

At 9-5 and alone in fifth place in the Big East standings, Louisville will end its regular season with four games that all appear on paper to be toss-ups.
--Win all and the Cards earn one of the league's four double-byes for the Big East Tournament and head to New York playing solely to improve their NCAA Tournament seeding.
--Win three and they have an outside shot at a double-bye and are safely into the field of 65.
--A split would result in meeting Rick Pitino's goal of 11 conference and wins and probably also lock up an at-large bid.
--Win one and it's probably going to take a win or two (depending on the first round opponent) at Madison Square Garden for good vibes to resonate on Selection Sunday.
--Drop all four and U of L is probably staring down the daunting task of needing a run to the conference title game in order to go dancing.
In terms of degree of difficulty, there's very little separating these four games.
Connecticut has the worst record of the four, but the Huskies are playing as well as anyone in the league and Louisville has struggled in Storrs since it joined the Big East.
Georgetown has lost two straight and 3-of-5, but the Hoyas are probably one of the ten best teams in the country and are capable of beating anyone (see Villanova and Duke games). The losing streak probably doesn't bode well for Louisville.
Marquette has finally learned how to win the close one and has lost just once in the last month. Both teams will probably be facing similar situations, and the game is being played in Milwaukee.
Syracuse will be facing a hostile environment in the last game ever played at Freedom Hall, and the Orange have already lost this season to a Cardinal team they don't match up particularly well with. Still, this is the best team in the Big East.
So how do we rank these guys in order of most to least difficult.
Here's my thought:
1. Syracuse
2. At Connecticut
3. Georgetown
4. At Marquette
Regardless, it's quite the stretch.
What say you?

The History of Bunn Coffee Makers
The history of Bunn coffee goes back over 50 years. The company can be credited with a number of revolutionary coffee-brewing innovations. Bunn started out in the city of Springfield, Illinois and still has its headquarters there. The Bunn company was founded by George Bunn in 1957 as the Bunn-O-Matic Corporation. It was Mr. Bunn who invisioned the first commercial fluted paper coffee filter.
The fluted paper filter may not seem like much, but the new bowl shape and fluted form helped the paper filter hold its shape much better. That meant fewer spilled grounds, less mess, and more drinkable coffee into the final pot of coffee. Bunn also invented the pourover coffee brewing machine, more commonly seen in restaurants and offices rather than in homes. The pourover system maintains a pot of hot water, and then pours the entire reservoir of hot water over the grounds at once rather than let it drip more slowly. This method is more preferable in a commercial atmosphere because it is much faster and you can brew a large quantity of fresh coffee in just a few minutes. Because the water is kept hot, they use more power than drip brewers which is another reason they are seldom seen in home kitchens. This newly created style of coffee maker is what put Bunn in the leading edge of the commercial coffee industry, and Bunn is still holding that spot today. Throughout the history of Bunn coffee, they have maintaied their focus on the commercial market of the coffee industry, providing high quality coffee and espresso machines for retail, commercial, and industrial uses. Bunn does have a line of home coffee brewers for the home-user that has the same commercial high quality standards that they are famous for. In fact, it was Bunn that first came up with the drip coffee machine for brewing coffee at home.
Bunn home coffee brewers come in several models and pricing varies greatly. All models reflect their professional quality. One of their latest models to come on the market is the My Cafe coffee pod brewer. My Cafe takes advantage of the new trend in single-serve brewing that uses coffee pods (discs of coffee in tea bag-like material). Though the company has long been associated with the coffee-brewing business, Bunn also manufactures bean grinders, ice tea makers, juicers, coffee dispensers, espresso makers, water filtration units, frozen drink machines, and several styles of paper coffee filters. SoftHeat and BrewWISE coffee systems, found in their commercial machines, are examples of the use of technology at Bunn. Regardless of whether you are looking for commercial, residential, or home coffee brewers, Bunn remains to be the name that stands for high-quality in coffee brewing.

An Arizona man was sentenced to 50 years in prison Thursday for a violent rape that happened in Spartanburg more than two years ago.
Prosecutors said 23-year-old Quinton Stratton pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct, assault and battery with intent to kill and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
Investigators said that on Feb. 27, 2010, they were called to a home on Monks Grove Road where they found a woman suffering from a stab wound to her neck and a stab wound to her chest. They said the woman identified Stratton as her attacker before she was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Two people who were inside the home at the time of the attack told authorities that Stratton beat on their bedroom door after that attack and told them he thought he had killed the woman and that he needed help to dispose of the body, prosecutors said.
Stratton was arrested a short time after he fled the scene, prosecutors said.
Stratton must serve 80 percent of his sentence before being eligible for release. His name will be added to the sex offender registry.

Some of you might have noticed this headline in the upper right corner but for those that haven't, SB Nations Steelers blog, Behind the Steel Curtain, interviewed team owner Art Rooney, Jr.
This is not the first time BTSC has gotten a pretty amazing interview and its not the first time an SB Nation blog has done the same. But in light of recent conversations here at CSC about taking it to the next level and trying to gain further access to become a more legitimate source for Saints info, I thought this was something definitely worth highlighting. Again, certain organizations are much tighter in there PR department than others (honestly, I would have thought the Steelers would be one of them) but as society continues to move forward the hope is that blogs such as those within SB Nation will be taken more serious and more opportunities like the ones BTSC have been able to secure will become available.
If any of you out there ever realize a chance for such an opportunity for CSC, please let me know!
This is the end of our public service announcement. Gary Gibbs sucks.

Richard's Audio Nirvana
Richard from New Zealand has assembled his ultimate home theatre audio system using Perreaux amplifiers and preamps – including two of our reference Prisma 350 stereo power amps and a 6160 six-channel power amp, along with the Prisma SM6 MkII and Audiant DP32 preamps and our Prisma CD1 CD player.
I'll let Richard explain his audio system in his own words...
"Forget attacks in the dark or subtleties or nuances. The reason why I went down the Perreaux path was completely all about the sound. The first time I ever heard a 350 was when I went to audition some JBL Ti-10ks that I saw on Trademe just over a year ago. The seller had bi-wired them with a couple of Accuphase power amps controlling the mids and trebles and the 350 was controlling the woofers. And when I say control I mean full on domination. Grip beyond anything I had ever seen or heard. Normally an amp will have a speaker on a leash but these appeared to be physically joined at the hip. I knew at that moment that my other amps were about to be given the cold shoulder.

Buying and Cutting Firewood
A lot of us love buying a rick of firewood, fueling fireplaces with that firewood while gladly accepting the challenges involved. But fueling a fireplace or firewood burning stove can be a lot of work and cost you way too much if volumes and values are not known. Here are the basics on buying firewood and cutting firewood
- Finding and Using Firewood for Home Heating
- Determining Firewood Value
- Getting a Fair Firewood Price
- Measuring and Understanding Wood Volume
Seasoning and Burning Firewood
Two very important factors are necessary to be successful at using firewood for heating or cooking. You need to use the best tree species that produces the most heat over the longest period of time and you need to season the wood to make the most of the wood's "coaling" potential without excessive energy loss. Here are the basics on selecting and seasoning firewood.
- Seasoning Firewood
- Splitting Firewood
- Properties of Firewood by Tree Species
- The Best and Worst Firewood Species

Ease of Use
I was diagonised with ADHD when I was in my late 30s. I tried several oral medications before we found this one. I can tell a difference when I don't take it. Even my husband will notices a difference. This drug has changed my life.

Ease of Use
I started taking Daytrana because Concerta suppressed my appetite too much and I was dangerously underweight. At first, I really like the medicine. But after about two months I developed sinus tachycardia (fast heartbeat). I didn't realize at the time that it was most likely from the Daytrana. I also thought that I somehow developed allergies to everything because I had a stuffy nose and heada ... Show Full Comment
