Sounds kind of harsh, but it's worth playing, and not a waste of time. It's just not a game you'll be obsessed with.
Great Game!

You play as a secret soldier and along with your partner, go out on deadly missions to stop the terrorists. You work as a team and use such maneuvers as flanking, cover fire, blind fire, etc. Overall, the controls work well and are easy to adapt to. The interface is easy to access and switching weapons does not hinder gameplay at all. A cool feature is being able to buy new and upgrade current weapons and armor. The graphics are great and there is nice detail in some of the environments and for the most part the level design matches the area you would see in real life; lots of dessert terrain and military style strongholds. One key component is how you and your partner function as a team. You have what is called an aggro meter which can swing both ways. The one with the most aggro gets all the attention from the bad guys. You can command your partner to take the most aggro so you can flank enemies. This also works if you need to recover health for a time. You must pay attention to this meter because your partner will need the same help as well from time to time. This adds a bit of strategy to the game which is good. Some of the issues I had with the game were how aggressive the enemies can be sometimes and it felt like they could take more hits than they should be able to. But these issues were minor and after about 20 minutes into the game become almost unnoticeable. I did find the single player mode pretty short, but there are enough multiplayer options to keep the game fresh for a long time.

Although the graphics are great and the overall control and gameplay are easy even for the first time third person shooter gamer, I was very disappointed in the AI that the player is forced to deal with as a partner. I found myself yelling at my AI counterpart many a times (I know he can't hear me!!) to get out of my way or stop dragging me out in the open to heal when I got downed. Thus, I thought I'd try my hand at online play.
Better voice comm capabilities with online play would have been a nice touch. I found it hard to understand my partner while playing online and that really hindered what we were trying to accomplish as a team. There were some router adjustments I had to make to get this popping but even after that I still experienced poor voice.
If it's any consolation, I have played this game on Xbox 360 and all the gripes I mentioned above are not present. Microsoft's Xbox Live has surpassed all the things that people complain about with PSN gaming in most games I've played and written about. None the less, if you own a PS3 and only a PS3 you're stuck with what they throw your way. As I own both systems, I'll definitely be renting this one on Xbox 360 later to play it all the way through for a true "one-for-one" comparison.

The 1st thing I noticed was that I cannot read the small text on the screen. I am playing on a 42" HD plasma that has a perfect picture. Text is just too small to read. Just like it was in Dead Rising which is from like 2005. Next, the load time is long, especially in the shopping section. Oh, yeah, I really do not need the game interrupted for a mid mission shopping spree. The shopping screen takes too long to load and there are no descriptions for each weapon so I do not know why it would be beneficial to upgrade. The weapons do not operate very realistically. THe game plays kind of like Crackdown meets Conflict:Denied ops. Both of which were more fun than this.
The AI co-op is unique. Its kind of funny to have your AI buddy drag you through a storm of enemy fire to safety before healing you. However, he is constantly parking in front of you blocking your shots.
The graphics were just alright and could have been better. The back story was pretty good, what little there was of it. Overall, the game could have been alot better had the developer not rushed it into production.
In fairness, I did not try the online mode but i'm not interested in playing online anyway.

Co-op. Actually, it's better than that. The feeling of relying on another guy with your life. The cinematics are great, movement is crisp and on that nice 1080p TV I have, it looks even better. A must buy and a must to keep forever.

Overall, the game had a decent storyline and I liked the two person team, but it just didn't deliver. There were a few glitches in the game, especially when I went to save where I was and shut the game down. It froze up on me. I know it's not my system, because this was the only game that did it. Don't bother renting this game.

I am always looking for a game with co-op mode but this game does not have a co-op mode it is a co op game. the graphics are great a soldier of fortune niche is good one. The only part i thought was pure cheese is the back to back fighting it is like a bad 70's action movie but the rest is very fun and the weapons are cool but if i had to make a change it would give the ability to find or purchase ammunition. Overall a very action packed co-op game
don't play single player mode

Summary: With these words, Dante plunges readers into the unforgettable world of the Inferno--one of the most graphic visions of Hell ever created. In this first part of the epic The Divine Comedy, Dante is led by the poet Virgil down into the nine circles of Hell, where he travels through nightmare landscapes of fetid cesspools, viper pits, frozen lakes, and boiling rivers of blood and witnesses sinners being beaten, burned, eaten, defecated upon, and torn to pieces by demon ...show mores. Along the way he meets the most fascinating characters known to the classical and medieval world--the silver-tongued Ulysses, lustful Francesca da Rimini, the heretical Farinata degli Uberti, and scores of other intriguing and notorious figures.
This edition of Inferno revives the famous Henry Wadsworth Longfellow translation, which first introduced Dante's literary genius to a broad American audience. "Opening the book we stand face to face with the poet," wrote William Dean Howells of Longfellow's Dante, "and when his voice ceases we may marvel if he has not sung to us in his own Tuscan."Lyrically graceful and brimming with startlingly vivid images, Dante's Inferno is a perpetually engrossing classic that ranks with the greatest works of Homer and Shakespeare.

Well it must be some kind of genetic deformity (not saying that it's wrong or bad or whatever) because at its most primal level it doesn't allow for procreation and the continuation of the species. It's not a problem in modern times since there are so many other people to have children, but still.
#14 to #1 - Ruspanic (11/29/2012) [-]
A gay gene hasn't been isolated, so it may not necessarily be genetic. There's been some speculation that it's caused by hormone imbalances in the womb, or even in some cases post-birth experiences affecting development (I don't mean the lack-of-male-role-models thing espoused by some social conservatives).
#17 to #16 - Ruspanic (11/29/2012) [-]
Not necessarily. Genes are not the only things that impact hormone production and other bodily functions. Hormones are released in response to internal or external stimuli. Things like drugs or stress or abnormal environmental conditions could cause abnormalities that are not inherent to the mother herself.

Guantanamo Voices: Tracking former prisoners in Afghanistan
JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty Images
This image reviewed by the US military shows the guard tower at the front gate of "Camp Five" and "Camp Six" detention facility of the Joint Detention Group at the US Naval Station in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, January 19, 2012.
The controversy over Guantanamo prison has lasted now for more than a decade, and its legacy endures far beyond U.S. borders, especially in Afghanistan. Some 220 Afghans have been held at Gitmo, making them the largest population of prisoners.
Most have been released without charge, meaning the U.S. did not find a compelling reason to keep them in detention, but their time at Guantanamo shaped them in profound ways.
We're joined by Dawood Azami, a senior broadcast journalist at the BBC World Service, who tracked down and spoke with former Gitmo prisoners in Afghanistan.
Listen to the full BBC documentary here: Guantanamo Voices.

AHHH I LOVE THEM!! When I have children I am decorating the nursery in Dr Suess theme, I love crepe paper pom poms! I made them for my wedding, I would never have thought to make these gorgeous cute trees!

Thank you for the idea! I teach kindergarten and we have a Dr. Suess week! I was going to read the book the lorax to them but wanted a project to go along with the story! These will be amazing! I was wondering though if you need the full tissue paper to make them or if you could cut it in half and have 8 half sheets of tissue paper? Thanks for the idea!
Crystal @ Surviving a Teacher's Salary says
You can most certainly cut the small size down! We made these huge ones, then I cut the tissue paper in 4's and made tiny ones to send home with each of the children!
Angela says
How did you get the pom to stick to the wall?
Crystal @ Surviving a Teacher's Salary says
Believe it or not I just taped it right to the wall! If you can't get it to stick try some of those little Command stickies or packing tape!
Cecilia says
Love it and Love Dr. Seuss! Thanks!

Anyone applying to MCI August 2011 start date?
- 0Jun 14, '11 by as2633Hi everyone!
I'm a hopeful applying to MCI's August start date- I was curious if anyone else patrolling these boards was putting in an application. I'd love to hear what stage in the application process you're at, how things are going, etc..
good luck to all!
- 0did you take the teas yet?? if so which version?
- 0theres a 3.0 , 4.0, and V..each one has a different study guide so im freaking out bcuz id like to do really well
- 0Jun 30, '11 by as2633I'm pretty sure everyone feels the same way
I didn't study prior to the TEAS because I was told I didn't have to take it the first meeting (I ended up taking it anyway)- my adviser said they like to know where you're at before you have time to cram, so I'm not sure how they factor in the significance of your TEAS scores.
Someone who passes every section can not re take the test, however, a person who fails a section can study and retake those sections. I would assume they place some significance on scores where the student didn't need to retake? (at least I'm REALLY hoping for this- I know a few people who retested after the pre-req's and killed it). I have my fingers crossed, regardless I want into this program more than anything.
My advice is not to stress and maybe invest in both study guides? Good luck!
- 0I'm terrible at math so that's the only part I'm really worried about..I have all of the prerequisites so I'm hoping g for that to be some sort of advantage
- 0Jul 7, '11 by prayerngraceSo how is everything going now? What is your next step? (I also started a thread for MCI Virginia Beach 2011-2012.)
How far back did you start everything?
- 0Jul 7, '11 by movingfromNYI go to meet with Kim next week to take the assessment and show her my transcripts and if I do well on that I will have my interview soon after that
- 0Jul 7, '11 by prayerngraceMe too! I'm meeting with a different advisor though.

Check Out DJ Dodger Stadium's 'Stadium Status' Mix
- Words: Patric Fallon
The up-and-coming LA-based duo of Jerome Potter (of LOL Boys fame) and Samo Sound Boy (who we recently profiled in our Bubblin' Up feature), DJ Dodger Stadium, may not yet have a proper release under its collective belt (we have to wait until the Body High imprint drops that on October 4), but the pair did just drop an excellent DJ set for DIS Magazine. You can stream and download the Stadium Status mix, an eclectic, 77-minute excursion into the realm of lighthearted and playful club music (which, we should say, has no tracklist), below.

created 01/31/2013 - 9:38pm, updated 01/31/2013 - 9:40pm
Another commercial for the Super Bowl has landed online before kickoff this Sunday as Dwayne Johnson is featured in the Milk Mustache Campaign spot.
We see that Dwayne Johnson has run out of milk and will go to no lengths to get more even passing by a little girl whose cat is stuck in a tree as well as a lion seemingly threatening the Rock's own mom.
But once he does get his milk -- watch out! Dwayne Johnson is pumped and ready to take on an oncoming alien invasion.
Johnson recently signed on to do a new Hercules movie and has even been rumored to be attached to Drax The Destroyer in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Recipe for Success: FS1 Mason Champlin
When you ask someone what he or she enjoys most about being in the Coast Guard, the answer isn't usually creativity. But for Petty Officer 1st Class Mason Champlin, it's the creative freedom that makes coming to work each and every day enjoyable.
Recipe for Success: FS2 Ali Ganjour
Varied experiences and diverse backgrounds are what each and every Coast Guard member brings to the service. These two things combine to form talented, motivated and skilled crews that perform each of the Coast Guard's 11 missions. Petty Officer 2nd Class Ali Ganjour brings both to the table.
Recipe for success: SNFS Austin Reed
One of the newest crewmembers aboard Coast Guard Cutter Munro, a 378-foot high endurance cutter homeported in Kodiak, Alaska, is food specialist Austin Reed. A recent graduate of the Coast Guard's food service specialist "A" school, Reed is just finding out what it's like to be part of a team aboard a Coast Guard cutter.
Recipe for success: FS2 Yuliya Zelenskaya
Born in Kazakhstan, growing up in America and now serving in the galley aboard Coast Guard Cutter Charles Sexton, Zelenskaya has left a lasting impression on her shipmates through her love of country, her passion for using food to knit the crew together and her "cheesy bread" recipe which is a personal favorite of Sexton's commanding officer, Lt. Kevin Connell.
Recipe for success: FS3 Kristle Lopez
At some point in everyone's life, they think to themselves 'If I can find a job I truly love, I will never have to work a day in my life.' For Petty Officer 3rd Class Kristle Lopez, this is a thought that shaped her entire future. "Being in the military and serving my country is in my blood," Lopez said.
Recipe for success: FS3 Amy Edwards
Most Coast Guard men and women who choose the food service specialist rating do so because they love to cook. For Petty Officer 3rd Class Amy Edwards, it was more than just a love of cooking that impacted the route she took. After completing basic training, Edwards was stationed at Coast Guard Station Destin, Fla. As she learned about the different rates the Coast Guard offered, it was the creativity and rewarding work of the unit's food service specialists that impressed her most.
Recipe for success: FS2 James Mitchell
Petty Officer 2nd Class James Mitchell first chose to be a food service specialist while at a recruiter's office. At the time, he had an application in to attend a culinary school in Chicago, but was drawn to the opportunity of serving his country, traveling the world and learning the culinary trade.
Recipe for success: FS1 Bethany Clark
Many Coast Guardsmen join knowing they want to serve their country but aren't quite sure how. Not Petty Officer 1st Class Bethany Clark. Clark joined the Coast Guard in 2009 knowing exactly what she wanted to do; she wanted to be a chef. A 2006 graduate of Johnson & Whales University in Providence, R.I., Clark studied culinary nutrition and wanted to take her talents to sea.

Modern science is a wonderful thing.
Consider what it's doing for my younger sister, Sheila. More than a year ago, as part of a new program being tested, she recorded 1,610 sentences and phrases in her own voice, which hadn't yet been devastated. These will eventually be programmed into a device that will communicate for her, either when she taps it (if she can still move her fingers) or uses an eye gauge system. Amazing, right?
Too bad modern science hasn't yet found a cure for the thing that's destroying her speech and killing her.
Sheila has ALS. That's amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, associated in the United States with Lou Gehrig and in Canada with Sue Rodriguez. A "progressive" neurodegenerative condition that gradually paralyzes its victims and their vital systems, it usually kills within two to five years. It has no cure and, worse, no effective treatment. Sheila has no pills to slow down the degeneration or reverse any devastation.
Compared to other major diseases like cancer, it's also relatively rare, with fewer than 3,000 Canadians currently living with it.
That's good — and bad. It means ALS research is terribly underfunded, and the disease is largely unknown.
Which is why the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is such a weird, wonderful and utterly welcome phenomenon. In recent days, there's been the predictable carping ("nothing but slacktivism," grumble some) by people who despise bandwagons. But this completely misses the point.
"When I was diagnosed," Sheila tells me — and my mind slips back to that terrible phone call in November 2011 — "most people didn't know what ALS was. Now, with this ice bucket thing, it's really changing."
As is she, sadly. Since her diagnosis, she has lost the use of her hands (no more cooking, no more photography, both passions of hers). She is losing her voice and clarity of speech. She is in a wheelchair. In time, her ability to breathe and swallow will be destroyed .
But she's filled with some kind of amazing grace, this kid sister of mine.
"I've found a peace and strength inside me I didn't know I had."
When I ask her where it came from, she says from our mother. And I understand.
"People marvel at how I'm managing. But I do have my moments and my mini-breakdowns, especially every time I have a new loss. I'm no saint." (This I know. We once shared a room.)
But she is one brave and gutsy gal.
"I don't waste time worrying about the nasty stuff that's going to happen. I'll deal with it when I get there. I truly have developed the facility of living in the moment."
And then she tells me what she told a counsellor, something that bowls me over: "Apart from this effing disease, I would describe my life as joyful."
So she lives every day of her life with unimaginable limitations, relentless deterioration, a terrible certain knowledge of the future — and a determined smile.
My sister has the world's sunniest, most infectious smile.
These days, with all the ice-bucket publicity, she's smiling a little more broadly than usual. I imagine ALS sufferers right around the world are, too.
So if a bizarrely entertaining flash trend is sending faint gleams into darkened lives (not to mention hauling in a truckload of new funds and raising awareness), then three cheers for it.
Do we really need the usual round of social-media cynicism, the inevitable phase-two coolant for any phenomenon that gets too hot? Are all those smart and savvy naysayers actually serving any purpose?
"I think it's fabulous," says Sheila of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. "The hope it gives me is not for me personally, but for the awareness it's raising. When people get to know about this terrible disease, maybe they'll open their wallets. And then, maybe one day, that money will help find a cure."
Amen, Shee. Bless you for the sunshine of your optimism.
I can't imagine anyone wanting to rain on that parade.

My understanding was that the CTS Wagon was built for the purpose of boosting Cadillac in Europe. But GM pulled the plug on Cadillac in Europe before it was complete. With the eningeering done it went to market in North America anyways. I've actually seen a fair number of CTS wagons around here. But us Canadians have always appreciated the wagon more than those south of the boarder.
I'm not supprised but would be dissapointed if true. If GM does plan to offer Cadillac as a global brand a wagon model will eventually be a must.
See my cars stats below
Bummer. Its the only wagon I've ever liked!! CTS-V wagon is Bad-A$$!!!!
Past Rides:
Audi S4 2.7TT
Ford Explorer 5.0L
Pontiac Grand AM 3.4L
Chevy Corsica 3.0L
Does anyone know if they built any CTS wagons with the 3.6 V6 & manual transmission? (This would be a fun used car)
Sorry to see it go. The CTS wagon is a very attractive car. It is WAY nicer than the Mercedes E-class wagon. Too bad it didn't sell in better numbers to keep it going into the next generation. May look at trading the STS in on one while they still make them.
I would like a CTSV wagon. Can't get the wife on board though.
I just had to sell our CTS wagon (unexpectantly expecting a third child - the CTS couldn't fit all three + any friends) - just about cried when I let it go. Best combination of ride/handling I have ever driven. And an ultra-rare car - I can't count the number of thumbs-up I got driving that car. In fact, I liked it so much that we settled for a year-older SRX with a third-row as its replacement. It's the closest thing I could find that had that combo of ride/handling (although, with the sport package in the SRX, it seems to trade the ride a bit for flatter handling). The sigma platform is awesome, and I hate to see it go with the next CTS. However, I sold the CTS to a family member and have first crack at it back if/when they ever sell it.
Current cars:
2009 Cadillac 1st-gen CTS wagon (a.k.a. SRX - AWD 3.6)
2009 Ford Mustang GT
2001 Jeep Cherokee
Past cars:
2010 Cadillac CTS Wagon (AWD 3.0)
2001 Olds Aurora (3.5)
2008 Chrysler T&C
2001 Pontiac Grand Am (2.4)
1998 GMC Sierra
1997 Chevrolet Malibu (3.1)
1995 Honda Civic (1.6) - married into it
1984 Pontiac 6000 STE - first car
The 5 passenger wagon is a bigger deal in Europe, but too bad. Those wagon taillights were the coolest thing Caddy has made in decades!
Check out my automotive blog http://elvisceralappeal.blogspot.com/
2012 Hyundai Veloster
2008 Ford F150 Regular Cab
Future car: Cadillac ELR or Tesla Model S
I never said they were in the same field but merely cross shopped in the same dealership and the higher MSRP made it hard for the wagon to compete with the SRX.
Just that time again to ignore certain people. I'm certain they will continue to try and instigate and antagonize while throwing up their arms saying they did nothing but are here on a civil basis. Not worth the time seeing how some just seem to know all.
I believe this leaves exactly zero wagons for sale by an American manufacturer.
FYI... one can buy a 2010 CTS 3.6 AWD Wagon for about the same price as a FWD 3.0 SRX.
That choice is what they call a "no-brainer".
I got tired of waiting for GM to make a FWD convertible.
2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Sport Spyder
2005 Mercedes-Benz C320 4Matic
If a Cruze Diesel wagon were offered in the US, what would Mr/Mrs US consumer buy? A 30MPG Equinox or the 50+ MPG Cruze wagon? The Cruze Diesel wagon would put a serious dent in the sales #'s for the Equinox. GM won't allow that to happen.....

High Healthcare Costs Continue to Provoke Finger Pointing
Of course, health plans were eager to defend their territory. "Competition is vigorous among health plans across the country," America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) Press Secretary Robert Zirkelbach told HealthLeaders. "They operate in highly competitive markets in which consumers have numerous choices among plan types and insurers."
While stopping short of calling the report erroneous, AHIP pointed out that a former Department of Justice staff economist who analyzed last year's study concluded that AMA's accuracy and reliability could be called into question. "For example, the AMA data exclude some types of self-funded plans, a large and growing portion of the market, and show significantly higher market concentration than data available from NAIC," according to Zirkelbach.
He went one step further stating that in many markets, provider consolidation is a significant factor contributing to rising healthcare costs, citing research indicating that states often cited as examples of high market concentration actually have some of the lowest premiums in the nation.
As an industry observer, I'm left scratching my head as to who's story to believe. Turns out they're both right. Buried deeper in AMA's research about the lack of insurer competition is the fact that small physician practices are really the ones bearing the scars from contract negotiations. But considering the constant downward pressure on Medicare reimbursements, it's a bit unfair to health plans as the ultimate unruly enforcer.
That still doesn't answer the question of who's responsible for painfully high healthcare costs. Judging by what each side has to say, perhaps both should share the blame along with John Q. Public who doesn't take nearly as good enough care of himself as he should.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Just would like to make the distinction in pricing is what the article is really about. What things cost can be much different. The actual cost of providing care is much different than what is paid. Medicare pays much less and sometimes healthplans pay much more.
Robert Trinka (2/14/2011 at 11:04 AM)
Healthcare is the only industry in which the people who design and deliver the product/service are not responsible for the cost of the product/service. Insurance companies are financing vehicles - physicians primarily, hospitals and other providers of services are accountable for the product/service's quality and cost. Insurers and other payers including the federal government resort to reimbursement limitations and contracts only because physicians and hospitals have shirked their fundamental duty. The challenge for the healthcare system is to produce products and services that their customers/patients can afford. Then we will see real competition, real productivity improvement and real cost reduction.
R Daniel King (2/13/2011 at 10:14 AM)
The federal government has for decades mandated that a [INVALID] 2 million patient/residents are daily subjected to (1) increased consumer education and awareness, (2) prevention and wellness programs and (3) consumer-controlled comprehensive health record that facilitates monitoring, measurement and management as suggested in a following comment. All these so-called silver bullets self-interest supposedly do not want in place for the general population has been carried on in skilled nursing facilties in every state. Yet because few SNFs are efficient, quality driven facilities most of these mandated efforts fail at various degrees increasing preventable hospitalizations, medications, death, and chronic problems. To assume what has failed under the second most federally regulated environment for a population of 2 million patient/residents under minute to minute monitoring can achieve a 30% savings for the total US population is a millennium away from reality. It is easier and quicker to change the health care deliverys system's culture than the hundred of thousands of cultural difference through out American cities and towns that can lead to medical problems. Not until the health care industry has the courage to realize the barrier to the most efficient delivery of quality, universal, integrated care is the status quo will win/win/win change ever take place.

OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section.

It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light.

Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month.

AT&T's LTE phone by year-end will be thin and efficient, but won't be roaming on other LTE networks
Indeed, it is not until now that Qualcomm and other LTE radio manufacturers are putting into phones their second attempts with slimmer baseband modules that have much less footprint and suck less battery juice than the clunky first generation found in handsets like the HTC Thunderbolt, for example.
at least one LTE smartphone appearing on its network by the end of the year. It is already a common asumption that this handset will be the HTC Holiday, which was recently caught downloading stuff with 30Mbps from AT&T's ether in Texas.
About 70 million people in major US cities will be covered with LTE by AT&T this year, and the complete rollout is expected to finish in 2013. The nice part about AT&T's LTE phones will be that they will use a technology called Circuit Switch Fallback (CSFB), which basically means that one you go outside LTE coverage, your phone will continue on HSPA+ speeds, which are way faster than what Verizon's 3G EV-DO network can offer.
In addition, AT&T comments that it is commited to deploy comprehensive voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) solutions further down the road, while it builds its 4G network, which likely means the first phones won't have it. When asked about the pricing scheme, the carrier statement read that they are not commenting on upcoming pricing. As far as the most pressing question - whether AT&T LTE phones will be able to roam on other such networks like Verizon's or the one of MetroPCS, the comment is:
So for now we can assume having an LTE phone from AT&T like the eventual HTC Holiday will be somewhat restrictive in terms of network coverage and VoLTE, while AT&T widens it coverage, but you can count on the CSFB tech to fill in with HSPA+ download speeds, which are nothing to sniff at in case AT&T has good signal at your whereabouts.

I like how Sprint is going to start in 2012 and be done in 2013, while ATT started this year, and will finish in 2013.
5. Forsaken77 (Posts: 552; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
Most likely because AT&T is planning to cover 90% of the population and Sprint is not. AT&T's network is more than double the size of Sprint, so naturally it's gonna take longer.
7. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
actualy att plans to cover around 70 mil americans as said in article while sprint plans to cover around 250 mil americans.
8. nacho (unregistered)
I don't think Sprint even covers 250 million Americans now...
10. dave (unregistered)
actually at&t plans to cover 70 million Americans by the end of this year. then will expand to the rest of the country by 2013.
2. snowgator (Posts: 3303; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Okay, I will believe this rollout from AT&T when I see it. I just finally got 3-freaking G from them on October 2nd. Throw in the nightmare they will have combining with T-Mobile, and this is very suspect. Even though I love WP, I am leaning to Verizon even though there is no real choice in WP devices just due to believing their goal of not only LTE, but LTE + by 2014. AT&T just hasn't earned that amount of trust with me.
3. roldefol (Posts: 3183; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
It's easy for AT&T to point at Verizon's LTE phones as chunky and battery-hungry, but at least Verizon got a real 4G network out there. By the time AT&T gets theirs going, Verizon will be on its second generation of LTE phones and will match their claims.
4. NerdyGuy (unregistered)
Ok, that is great. Now announce the HTC Raider/Holiday already! I have been sititng on my upgrade for 4 months waiting for this phone!
13. TechAddict (Posts: 7; Member since: 01 Sep 2011)
Same here! I've been waiting for this phone for what seems like forever and I was totally expecting them to reveal it at CTIA!
6. AnnDroid (Posts: 53; Member since: 02 Aug 2011)
AT&T: Remove your stupid caps and I'll be impressed.
9. InspectorGadget80 (Posts: 6741; Member since: 26 Mar 2011)
Man now I really feel like leaving AT&T to Verizon. Their so slow not launching their LTE towers. Now they say you can use you're LTE phone to roam off others. Think they should replace their CEO with someone different. Guess it will be another 5yrs till AT&T launch their LTE service so i will stick with my crappy H+ phone
11. tania123 (unregistered)
Well I don't care what anyone says I will be sticking with at&t because I need GSM period because I go to europe a lot . And since verizon doesn't offer an Lte Phone witb gsm capabilities I will be sticking with at&t. People told me to give t-mobile a try cuz they gsm too, man did I regret it. Crappy reception inside buildings, crappy coverage I hated t-mobile and I had serveral different phones from them so it obviously wasn't the phones it was there service. And its not like I live in the middle of nowhere I live in the heart of LOS angeles, right in the city. Also did I mention no reception inside elevators, high rise buildings underground parking lots on t-mobile? Yea I kno t-mobile has wifi callin but if u live in a big city like me many highrise buildings downtown were t-mobile usually craps out have wifi but its locked so ur screwed either way. And with at&t u don't need wifi calling because they actually get signal all the way deep inside the buildin hate it or love it its the truth. I got an samsung galxy s2 on at&t and I'm loving it cuz I can now make calls in allthose places I mentioned above were t-mobile always crapped out I noticed the s2 has a very strong antenna even I have been shocked that in all those places I mentioed above I'm gettng 2-4 bars . Obviously it would be better if this phone was LTE capable but o well I'm good with hspa+ right now.
12. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
their is one lte phone that verizon has that has gsm aka world capabilities to my knowledge and that would be the bionic although i am not sure. sprint also offers the motorola photon which has gsm/cdma capabilities classifying it as a world phone
14. corporateJP (Posts: 1852; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
Nice excuses, Ralph.
15. Jyakotu (Posts: 823; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
I'm a huge AT&T supporter because I've had nothing but great service from them when I was with them. Switching to Sprint is a HUGE difference in service where in my house, I average 1-2 bars. Sprint might have unlimited data, but my phone is always on Wi-Fi because it's way faster than Sprint's 3G network. AT&T might have capped data plans, but their Wi-Fi network is so large that I could easily find Wi-Fi for my device and wouldn't even get close to 2 GB of data. Kudos to AT&T for beginning their LTE roll out and I love that their LTE phones will revert to HSPA+ when not in an LTE coverage area. I'll be watching AT&T. ;)

text: SEIU Official in 2009: Immigration Reform Will Lead to Millions New Progressive Voters Print article Send a Tip by Matthew Boyle 15 Aug 2013 post a comment SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Eliseo Medina said in 2009 that amnesty for illegal aliens would lead to a future "governing coalition" of progressive "voters." Medina made the argument that illegal aliens comprised a future progressive voting bloc at a leftist Campaign for America's Future event. "Now as you know, the negative tone of the immigration debate has created an intense interest in the Latino and immigrant community," he said at the 2009 event in a video that has resurfaced on YouTube. "We in the last election had the largest turnout of Latino voters in our history. And everything tells us these voters fully intend on becoming engaged into elections in the future." "They have tasted what it is like to participate and win and they are not going to go away because their involvement is basically because they feel they are being taken advantage of, they are being singled out and they are being scapegoated," Medina declared. "When they voted in November, they voted overwhelmingly for progressive candidates. Barack Obama got two out of every three voters that showed up." Medina argued that the "progressive community" needed to act like they cared about illegal immigrants to win over the potential future voters. "So I think there's two things, very quickly, that matter for the progressive community," Medina said. "Number one: if we are to expect this electorate to win, the progressive community needs to solidly be on the side of immigrants. Let us solidify and expand the progressive coalition for the future." "Let me tell you, when you are in the middle of a fight for your life, you will remember who was there with you, and immigrants count on progressives to be able to do that," he explained. "Number two, we reform the immigration laws, it puts 12 million on the path to citizenship and eventually voters." "Can you imagine if we have even the same ratio [as Obama got] two out of three, if we had 8 million new voters that care about our issues and would be voting, we would create a governing coalition for the long-term, not just for an election cycle," Medina stated. This week, Medina admitted in an interview with Breitbart News' Lee Stranahan that the SEIU includes illegal alien members. Watch Medina's 2009 Speech Below:

Show em', Farah
This is typical Joseph Farah journalism, from his column "Illegal to help change sexual orientation?":
"They literally deny that tens of thousands – maybe far more – have left the homosexual lifestyle and become 'ex-gays.'"
Exodus does not keep statistics, nor does any ex-gay organization, as it would be completely embarrassing.
Joseph, show the tens of thousands. It is fraud and you know it. Are you one of the statistics?

I am at 154.6 today. I realized that all these weekend meals at restaurants have really put my sodium at a much-too-high level, so I'm honestly relieved that my weight isn't even higher due to water retention!
We didn't end up going biking yesterday - we were both really tired. I think we'll go today, though not sure exactly where...Jess is being a little bit bratty about the whole thing ("How long of a bike ride do you want to go on?" "I don't want to go somewhere we've gone before." blah blah blah!) We did go to the gym both yesterday and today though. I noticed all of a sudden that when I flex my arms my biceps actually bulge out a little. Not sure I particularly like that, to be honest.
Anyway, in eight weeks we're spending a weekend on Welfleet in the Cape like usual. That means beach and bikinis. If I lose one pound a week til then, I will be at 147. Not very exciting, but I totally feel like I can lose a pound a week while still going to restaurants, having a life, and eating enough to keep my energy high. But a bikini at 147 pounds? Ick. So then I let my mind wander to dangerous places, and I calculated that if I lose two pounds a week, then by the time we go to the Cape I will be at 139. Unfortunately I have a magical unhealthy fantasy relationship with any weight that has a "3" in the tens place, so to think that I could be there for the Cape is HUGELY MOTIVATING for me. In fact, last summer I dieted hard and was at 139 for the Cape (though that was the weekend I gained 15 pounds in 3 days while we were there, ew). I don't want to diet hard ever again...I want a slow, healthy loss of fat without a loss of energy. So, I am going to shoot for any weight BETWEEN 139 and 147 for the Cape. I'll just have to deal if I'm not feeling quite bikini ready. There is no time limit for reaching my goals, because this is a lifelong quest - even after I hit my goal weight, I will still have to keep up all my healthy habits to maintain it.
My weight is back up to 155.0 today. I just finished guestimating my calories from last night and ended up with about 2,700. Ugh.
At least I had fun and was very active......and today we're biking the Minuteman Trail! Twelve miles!
Yesterday I went to the gym and did 45 minutes of chest, back, abs, and stretching, and then 45 minutes on the elliptical. Then we walked to and from a restaurant for dinner...over an hour in all. I had almost 2,000 calories yesterday, but was down to 153.8 today anyway, which is a new low (for THIS time around, anyway). This morning I went to Zumba, which is just the most awesome routine because I feel so healthy and alive when I get up early for a great fun workout on Saturday mornings! Then I did another 45 minutes of legs, abs, and stretching. Then we got together with my friend with the puppy for a walk...but it wasn't much of a walk because every few minutes we got stopped by puppy admirers:
"Ohh! How cute! Is that a weimerainer?"
"No, he's a silver lab."
"Really! Wow! I've never heard of a silver lab."
"Yeah, they're rare. But he's beautiful!"
Gotta go. Dinner on Newbury Street tonight with the fam!
Heehee. Yes, here I am blogging from school again!
Jess could not believe I walked on the treadmill for a whole hour yesterday. I was on an incline of about 3-6, and a speed of 4.0-4.4 mph, so I did get my heart rate up. I also did strength training (arms) for the first time since my back issues...I hope I didn't overdo it. I also stuck with the low calories two days in a row - yet another idea that Jess couldn't believe - he thought that being low on calories could backfire on me... but just over 1,400 calories two days in a row isn't THAT low, in my opinion. Especially with no exercise on one of those two days.
You know what's funny? During those 60 minutes on the treadmill, to entertain myself, I was kind of starting to write a blog entry in my head. I was watching this blonde girl who looked like she was straight out of Laguna Beach do her workout, and then the unquestionably hottest guy who goes to my gym (except for my boyfriend, of course) showed up and got on the treadmill right inbetween us...they chatted...and then even after he got off his treadmill he hung around her to talk until the guy I assumed to be her boyfriend came along. Normally I wouldn't even pay much attention, but you know what kind of mood I've been in lately. I will never be 21, blonde, and thin with the associated lifestyle, but that's okay. I am an accomplished woman with a master's degree, a respected profession, and my own real estate. And I don't think I look half bad for 30.
I was asleep around 9 p.m. again last night, which made for a lovely alarm-free morning today around 6:20, and on the scale I got to see 154.4. Nice.
Okay, now to respond to the comments on my blog:
Pamela - I'm sure I'm way too old to be your daughter, haha! You deserve all the praise and attention you've been getting - you have been working REALLY hard! Your husband sounds sweet. As for my goal weight, I am 5'6" so 130 is right in the middle of my healthy BMI range. In my fantasies I'd like to go lower, but I doubt that's realistic. Don't worry about me going too low...at this point, I'm still way too high.
Vidabela - You're right, a lot of people probably just TELL themselves they don't like the unhealthy stuff anymore. I guess a lot of it is training your mind. I try to picture all the nutrients when I'm eating my veggies and fruits. :) As far as flying through the 140s is concerned, I don't think I did it the right way. I did it so quickly that of course it all came back. You're working slowly, focusing on making your healthy habits permanent, and still allowing yourself to go to restaurants once in a while etc... so it should stick. That's way more important than doing it fast.
Susinok - I like the carbs and salt more than the sugar too... I like dinner more than dessert. :) Most of the time. I guess people who are in this boat where we need to work on our weight are people who do have a natural tendency to overeat, so you're right, guilt shouldn't be a factor. I too need to just accept that this is who I am and what I have to work on every single day, and when I mess up, move on. Congrats on maintaining the 70lb loss...quite a big accomplishment!
Bruin - I started WW and SP at the same time, and the only way I usually calculated my points was to look at my nutrition tracker on SP for the calories, fat, and fiber. So WW points were always an afterthought for me. Eventually I realized that all that obsessing over numbers was not helping anything, so I stopped counting points and only count calories now. I feel like a calorie is a real thing, where a point is made up. Plus points can be manipulated (you get a different total of points depending on whether you count each item separately or a whole meal, for instance) but calories can't. However, I do see the benefit of being able to count in your head a little easier. Oh well. Calories are for me. Also, like I said to Pamela, I'm 5'6" so my BMI range is a bit higher. I know I'll never get to the bottom of my healthy range, but I have to admit it is a fantasy. Honestly when I look back at pictures from last year, I was thin enough even at 137. I just know that when I get there I'm going to want to keep going. Hopefully losing more slowly this time and eating more, it won't really make much of a difference whether I try to lose more or maintain. My body will just do what it needs to do...if that makes any sense.
Happy long weekend, everybody!
So I've been in this mood lately, like all I want to do is play. I want to be at cool bars and lounges in new outfits, I want to be shopping for said new outfits, I want to be hiking and biking and taking fun new classes at the gym, I want to watch DVDs with my friends, I want to play with my friend's lab puppy, I want to play computer games and read fluffy chick novels, I want to be at Red Sox games. And of course I want to be doing all these things in the thin body I had for five minutes last year. I am in a young, flirty, happy, lazy mood. I am NOT in the mood to be at work!
Something about getting thinner does this to me. I couldn't have a sweeter, more dedicated, cuter boyfriend, but something about getting in shape makes me want to get lots of appreciative notice. I feel more outgoing and attractive. Unlike my two single friends, I initiated conversations with three different men at the Liberty Hotel on Saturday night. (Yeah, my boyfriend was there and he didn't particularly appreciate it, but I was just feeling very outgoing! I offered to introduce these guys to my single friends, but they are SO PICKY!!! And they're both stuck on guys from their past..) I can't imagine how fun it would be to be thin and single - I never have been. Now I feel bad for saying that... I DO LOVE MY BOYFRIEND! VERY MUCH! HE'S THE BEST!I am just naturally very flirty. Maybe it's springtime that's doing this to me.
Not that I'm thin yet...still working on it of course. I was back up to 155.0 today, but that's fine. The trend is exactly how I wanted it to be...it is a very slow, gradual slope. I can't wait to find out what happens when I am eating and exercising at this level and my weight gets down farther. Will I be able to work my way through the 140s okay? (Last time I lost weight I barely had time to blink in the 140s, I went through them so fast.) Will I hit a brick wall in the mid-130s again? My big hope is that if I lose slowly with a moderate, reasonable program, that won't happen. My body will have the time it needs to adjust to each new level and I will be able to continue to lose weight as long as there is excess fat to lose. My goal weight is 130. Part of me thinks that's too low, because of how hard it was last time, but I know I was being too extreme last time. Part of me thinks I'll still want to lose even more even if I get to 130...my healthy BMI range goes all the way down to 117. So we'll see, but NONE of me wants to get close to 130 and then just let myself go all over again, so I won't let that happen!
My heart and my mind both want me to get thin. My mind knows it's so much healthier, but my heart just feels so much more confident and attractive when I am thin.
I found a lot of inspiration on SP yesterday. I read through a thread that someone started who, exactly like myself, knew she had to make a lifestyle change but was concerned about her ability to make it permanent. Some people responded that after a while your likes and dislikes change and you won't even be tempted by the old stuff anymore, which goes along with other ideas like being able to count the calories in your head and make accurate guestimates for portions... yeah...no. Not me. I DO like the healthy stuff, for sure. But if in a magical fantasy land it had nothing at all to do with health or weightloss, I would DEFINITELY choose the fat, the carbs, the salt, the sugar, and most importantly, the HUGE portions. I have never gotten to a point where I was like, "ew, fries? They're too greasy for me now." I also don't know if I'll ever be at a point where I won't need to plan/track, either. The calorie levels still surprise me when I enter them, and I also am pretty dependent on the nutrition tracker for levels of nutrients, too. So I guess I better hope SP stays available forever, because that's about as long as I figure I'm going to need it!
This blog entry is starting to drag on as bad as my day is, so I guess I better go find something work-related to do! Thanks for letting me blab.
