My son and I stayed one night late October, 2012, at this Hampton Inn. Although it appeared very clean and a helpful staff, I awoke covered in bites. My son did not have bites then, but has reported several after unpacking at home a few days later. I reported the bites and my room was comped and someone was sent to check the bed.
Chewed On And Not Happy on 07/30/2012
I stayed here on July 8th and woke up to 50 – 100 bedbug bites all over my body.
I complained to the hotel, they contacted their exterminator, and a couple days later reported back that there were no signs of bedbugs in the room. Oh really? I compared my bites to online photos and am quite sure they were bedbug bites. They either have an incompetent exterminator (I doubt it) or are liars in order to avoid liability, since it can be quite disruptive and expensive if the bugs hitch a ride
home in your clothing or luggage and need to be cleared from your residence. A manager offered me a free single night's stay right back in the same infested hotel. Obviously I turned down such an exciting offer.
I complained to Hilton Corporate and after a month long run around they gave me a single night's stay at any property. It's quite underwhelming considering the number of HOURS it took to quarantine and clean my clothes and luggage to ensure that no bedbugs entered my home. Not to mention the bites hurt and itch.
In case you care, aside from the bedbugs and horrible customer service, it was a pretty standard Hampton Inn, which I consider to be nice for the money.
The only reason I was at the hotel was because my Southwest flight was cancelled. For my trouble Southwest gave me $300 in travel vouchers. So, will I fly Southwest in the future? Absolutely, because their only fault was selecting the hotel, yet they at least seemed to care that my experience was pretty miserable. Will I ever pay to stay at a Hampton Inn or Hilton in the future? Very highly unlikely due to very questionable integrity and horrible customer service.
NOTE: Google – this property and bedbugs. This is NOT an isolated incident. Beware – it's not worth the risk!

My husband and I stayed there for the Vegas Marathon in December 2010. We found one bed bug (positively ID'ed) and informed the management staff. The first manager acted like it wasn't a big deal while the rest of the staff was freaking out (as they should). We tore our room apart and did not find another one. Just as an aside, we DID check our room thoroughly before we settled in. The second manager--the one we talked to after the race--was much better because, by that time, we were very irate.
We had to ask to have the night comp'ed with the bed bug and were moved to another room, which we tore apart. No bed bugs were found in the second room. It appears a bug wandered into the first room, but where there's one bug....
I would not stay here again.

Just got home from a Vegas vacation. Our flight was delayed one night so we were comp'ed the night of Nov 7th, 2010 at the Hampton Inn Tropicana. Upon arrival, immediately checked the bed for bedbugs. Found no evidence of bedbugs and had no issues during the night or since then. The Hampton Inn Tropicana (located just off the strip about 1 block from Excalibur and New Yory New York) was a very nice hotel ... nice, tropical decor, new, clean, super comfy beds. Positive experience.

srv_setcollen (Extended Stored Procedure API)
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible. Use CLR integration instead.
Specifies the current data length in bytes of a variable-length column or a column that allows NULL values.
Each column of the row must first be defined with srv_describe. The column data length is set by the last call to srv_describe or srv_setcollen. If variable-length data (null-terminated data) changes for a row, srv_setcollen must be used to set it to the new length before calling srv_sendrow. For a column that allows null values, srv_describe must have been called with desttype set to a data type that allows nulls (like SRVINTN) and null data is specified by calling srv_setcollen with len set to 0. Zero length data cannot be specified using the Extended Stored Procedure API.
Note that when the data type of the column is variable-length, len is not checked. This function returns FAIL if called for a fixed-length column.
|Security Note
You should thoroughly review the source code of extended stored procedures, and you should test the compiled DLLs before you install them on a production server. For information about security review and testing, see this Microsoft Web site.

Dogs are more capable of understanding situations from a human's point of view than has previously been recognised, according to researchers.
They found dogs were four times more likely to steal food they had been forbidden, when lights were turned off so humans in the room could not see.
This suggested the dogs were able to alter their behaviour when they knew their owners' perspective had changed.
"These results suggest humans might be right, where dogs are concerned, but we still can't be completely sure if the results mean dogs have a truly flexible understanding of the mind and others' minds. It has always been assumed only humans had this ability."

Brand new mommy Kim Kardashian is all consumed with taking care of her baby daughter but RadarOnline.com has learned that her sister Kourtney Kardashian has warned her that she has "no idea" what she's in for.
Born on June 15, the baby is the only child of Kim and Kanye West and while both parents are superstar business moguls in their own right, they are newbie parents and her sister says she definitely isn't prepared to be a mom yet.
"Kourtney has told Kim that she has no idea what she's in for as a mom," a family insider told RadrOnline.com.
PHOTOS: Kim Kardashian Pays Homage To Her Pre-Pregnancy Bikini Body
"Kim thinks that she is just going to live her life exactly the way she did before now just with a little baby along with her. But Kourtney has told her that her life is going to completely change and she's going to be totally surprised at everything."
A mother of two, Kourtney's parenting skills are something that Kim can learn from, but the source said she doesn't think her sister realizes how much the baby is going to disrupt her whole life.
"Kourtney says Kim doesn't even know the beginning of what an impact having kids has. She says Kim thinks everything will be the same, that she'll be able to do everything she did before and that her life will be as picture perfect as it always is. Except Kourtney knows that isn't true – everything from her messy house to messy clothes and hair.

"Kim is about to be shocked at all the changes and Kourtney knows this because she's been going through it for years."
Kim and Kanye have been keeping details about their daughter she's apparently a stunner like her mother, with "she has dark hair, she looks just like Kim."

Why World At War Could Be The New Halo 3.
By Gunslinger 1 Comments
Now, I'm not saying this comparison to suggest that I feel it may become the new messiah of the 360. Nor do I say it to mean that it will "suck harder than a Dyson vacuum cleaner". I only say this to mean that, while it looks pretty, and it plays well, there is ultimately no point to its existence.
The similarities, while in their physical nature are non-existant, mainly lie in the position among the myriad of today's shooters on the consoles and PC. Take, for example, the setting. Like Halo, (set in the future) WaW is set like so many shooters before it, in World War 2. Yay for originality. But, of course, this isn't just like the other WWII games... No sir, this one has prettier graphics, thanks to the CoD4 engine. Unfortunately, a successful engine might not be enough to save it, in my opinion... While it may be prettier than all the other WWII games out there, it nevertheless is STILL a game that is set in a war that's lasted a shorter amount of time than we've been making games for.
This results in us having (from what I've seen and heard) the same guns and weapons as before, just with the CoD4 sticker stamped on the front of it... Yes, before the ramblings of the internet begin, I am aware that there is a flamethrower in this version... But, come on, is that really enough to save it? Is the flamethrower really such a unique idea that it warranted having its own achievement, and justifies spending £40 or more on? Personally, I'm not convinced by it.
You could argue that this is a WWII game for a new generation of WWII game-players, as it has better graphics, and Kiefer Sutherland (who I can't really decide is going up or down on the success chain for doing this game, yet). But then, that means that if it IS for newcomers, why have they never tried one of the other Call of Duty games? The only people (who I can think of) who won't have are 8 year olds, who've just goten their shiny new console for their birthday... And, since CoD:WaW (bah, that's one shortening that can go suck on hellfire) has swearing, and toasting of the flesh, I doubt that it's entirely suitable...
This isn't all, though. The gametypes, from what I've seen and heard, hardly change from those already done better by its predecessors. There's your bog-standard Team Deathmatch (which, admittedly, you can't really mess up), free-for-all, and War (a bring-over from the Call Of Duty 3 game). Now, while it's nice to see all these representations done in pretty graphics and all... I can't help but wonder that if this was supposed to be a completely different, more gritty World War 2 shooter, why they didn't include some really original, neat ideas that could have been done with the setting. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any, but since it's set in the tropics, and (I think) you're fighting/playing as the Japanese, why you can't encorporate some kamikaze in there is beyond me.
Now, since I've been focussing mainly on the multiplayer aspect of the game, I feel I should give the single-player (or, to use the more politically correct term these days: "Campaign") a looky-see at. Now, from the gameplay videos out there (ie the ones on IGN and GameTrailers, and the such-like) it looks like your standard campaign. Go kill dudes, sneak about, and generally have fun in the process. If you like having a challenge, I'm pretty sure that the "Collect all the death cards" achievement gives away that there'll be secret stuff to pick up, and (not unlike CoD4, ladies and gentlemen, I'll pause for the gasp of horror) most likely cheats that can be turned on. Now, I doubt that they'll be anywhere near as fun as turning enemies into tyres when they die, but that could be worth seeing, even if it's just from seeing some gameplay videos on the internet.
4 player co-op isn't an addition that hasn't been seen before. Heck, Halo 3 did the same thing. And it was fun, yes, but it did age rather quickly. And, most likely, will the campaign of the new CoD. Points and the such hasn't been seen before. Now, I could be mistaken (again), but I heard somewhere that there may be varying difficulty in the campaign dependent upon who it is that you're playing with. Now, while that could be good, it could also just make it infuriating if you got the game a couple of months after your friends, and you can't even make it through one mission, because the AI is so incredibly hard for you, and your friends are too busy fending them off to help revive you.
That's one of my major ticks with the co-op campaign. If just one of you dies, you have to start again. Now, while that's the same story with Halo, except it only ever happened when everyone died. Not just when one person went down. You just had to wait until it was safe, and you came back in tip-top shape, ready to fight another day. That's how THIS should be done. While I'm usually rather neutral to Halo 3, I still have it, because on occasion, me and my friends like to go on the campaign, and muck about. But to me, that just doesn't seem possible in CoD:WaW, with this annoying addition. Now, to give the developers credit, I can see how they wanted to encourage teamwork in the game, but when you're playing with your friends, you don't want to have to use strategy... It may be your cup of tea, but to me, I just want blow stuff away, and be able to go "holy ****, you guys, did you SEE that!?".
All in all, I can see the reviews of this game being pretty much the same:
"If you've played Call Of Duty 4, then you'll know how this game plays. If you like that, and wanted it in a WWII setting, then this game's for you. But, if you wanted something really original done, then you won't really find it here, I'm afraid. This game is for people that either really like the CoD4-style of play, really like WWII games, or have never tried either."
Leading me to think that this game, like Halo 3 was, is a pretty game, yes, but in the grand scheme of things, there's really no point to it being there. There are better shooters out there than Halo, and there are better settings for the CoD4 engine than World War 2.

We are a career military family. Wes is a retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant; I was born and raised in Wales, United Kingdom. After traveling the world for over 29 years we arrived on the Emerald Coast in 2005, fell in love with the area and decided to make it home.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2011
After settling in and realizing just how wonderful our new home is we decided to go into the vacation rental business and share this 'slice of paradise' with others. We're local, hands-on owners who will pull out all the stops to enhance your vacation experience. We believe in and do everything possible to live up to our motto "we sell memories."
I have never written a review before, but I had to based upon our experience in the condo. Louise was great, and everything that she advertises is TRUE! The kitchen was well stocked, the furniture was nice, and the master bed was very comfortable. She is a very "hands-on" owner. I did call to see if the she had an extra set of King Size Sheets because I thought the ones on the bed had seen better days. Not to worry....she brought me a brand new set. That is service!! I have stayed at The Beach House for many years, and I just love it! It's the only place in Destin that I will stay mainly because of the 600+' feet of beach in front of the condos. It is never too crowded. I must say that this was the most comfortable unit that I have stayed in there. We took our 16 year old granddaughter and her friend, and they really appreciated having full size beds in the guest bedroom. We all had a blast and will definitely return very soon. I highly recommend this unit!
I did a lot of research before booking our family trip to Destin & couldn't be more pleased with the choice we made. The Condo was clean, spacious, well stocked. The location was exactly what I was looking for.....right off the ocean. We enjoyed the view from the balcony just as much as the short walk to the pool or beach. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Lousie was an absolute joy to work with. She is very prompt in sending contracts, returning deposit checks & answering any questions you might have. She made planning this trip a breeze. Look no further, I promise you will not be disappointed if you book with her!
Much like the previous reviews, I can say with high confidence that you will not be disappointed with this rental. The views are spectacular and it doesn't get any closer to the water. A heated pool is great for kids and if you want to be on the beach, not a problem, as it's 100 ft from the pool. The attendants on the beach were extremely friendly and will help you with an umbrella and chairs. The actual unit is very clean and has everything you need. (Towels, pans, pots, coffee maker, etc) I loved the master bedroom and balcony, which makes for very pleasant evenings and hearing the ocean. Finally, I would like to say that Louise was absolute pleasure to do business with. She was attentive to all of our needs and I received my damage deposit check within one week of leaving the unit. I HIGHLY recommend this rental for you and your family.
This is an excellent place for your family vacation.
The unit is large and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well equipped with probably every utensil you'd need on a vacation. The living room is spacious and it's very pleasant with the porch door open. I thought the TV was a little small, but part of that is the couch is so far from the TV. The master bedroom was comfortable but not much drawer space. The master bath has dual sinks and lots of cabinet space under the sinks. The second bedroom had twin beds and the bathroom there also opened to the main living quarters. Again, one small dresser. There's a TV in both bedrooms. The picture in the description is your view from the living room and porch/balcony.
The beach is just down the wooden stairs. Those blue umbrellas and beach chairs you see are put up in the morning by the staff. Louise has put some in storage, I think, if those are all taken. One thing I haven't seen mentioned in the other reviews is that there's a lifeguard on duty. (Guard your daughters. They were young men who lifted weights and did push-ups and crunches to keep busy). My guess is that this service is only available during the season.
Location, location, location, and this unit is well situated. There are two major outlet malls, and they are both within 5 miles, one each way. Baytowne Wharf is the place for nightlife with all kinds of drinking and dining options, along with shops and some things for the kids. Many major food chains are near-by. For local flavor I recommend Camille's. Pizza is one of their specialties but they also have some great entrees. My wife had a grilled grouper over pasta and loved it. Save room for dessert: fudge covered homemade bread pudding with homemade pistachio ice cream!! We also liked Pompano Joe's, a restaurant and bar with lots of seafood. If you like fondue, try the Melting Pot. Save room for the chocolate dessert fondue.
The marina is nearby for almost anything you want in water sports. We went on a dolphin cruise which was a little disappointing. I've been on several where the boat races and the dolphins follow in the wake, jumping and playing. This cruise took us out to where the pods hang out and we got to watch them rise to breathe, so 5 second glances. There's also a water slide park, bumper boats, and lots of other activities if you get bored with the beach.
All in all, this was a great vacation. It's right on the beach and the unit is wonderful.
I can't say enough about the owner of this property. She treated us so well. We had an issue with another condo (from a different VRBO owner) and the owner of this property quickly got this condo ready for us to stay on very short notice. The owner actually came out and cleaned the condo herself for us so it was super clean. The furnishings in the condo are up to date, modern and cozy. The pictures really don't do it justice. Everything you could need was provided, even a floor fan in the master bedroom. I was greatful for the fan as I have trouble sleeping without one and I forgot my travel fan. The furniture on the balcony was so nice too. It wasn't the cheap plastic lawn chairs, the balcony furniture was the durable wicker with nice comfy cushions. The view off the balcony was beautiful and the beach access was awesome and not crowded. The location was great too. There are several good restaurants just a few blocks from the condo. And the outlet malls were very close if you have a rainy or cold day that you can't get on the beach. I would recommend anyone to stay here.
we stayed here over Easter last year and my family of 5 loved it. the place was clean and the view was beautiful!! we loved how we were just steps from the beach. Louise was great, made everything very easy. this particular section of destin has a much larger beach area and much less busy. we noticed that other condo buildings elsewhere didn't have the same relaxing and open feel as this one.
the only negatives, one of which may unfortunately keep us from coming back next year, is that they said the pool would be heated the beginning of April and it was not. the pool was freezing and everyone down there was not very happy. at that time of year it still gets chilly and a heated pool is a must. my kids were super disappointed and even they didn't want to go in it. But Louise was right on it and from what i understand, other owners were too who had guests complain. It was eventually turned back on and mid-way through our stay it was warm enough to swim in.
also the dryer in the unit didn't really seem to work that well and took hours to dry anything, but that certainly isn't a reason to not stay there.
All in all an AWESOME vacation and if we are certain the pool with be heated next time we will for sure be back!!

mooring bridal plate - monohull
I'm designing a storm mooring for my 42 Jeanneau in Puerto Rico.
The anchorage has decent protection (3 sides) inside the San Juan Bay channel.
The 1 mile channel presents the only main concern when storm winds come from the West. North and South are 8 ft sea walls then the bridge and marinas to the East offer good buffering and little chance for wave build up. Storm surge is not a major concern due to the location and physical obstructions (except possibly from the west through the channel). In speaking with the harbor pilots and masters its a good hurricane hole.
Anyway, my design calls for dual pennants (17,000 lb loading each) and would like to know if anyone recommends using a mooring bridal system vs two shackles to the anchor rode?
Thank you, Brian

Subrata Roy to decide buying into Liverpool inside next fortnight
Subrata Roy is seriously weighing up buying into Liverpool.
The Telegraph says Roy, the billionaire owner of the Sahara group, will decide in the next two weeks whether to enter the race to take a £100 million stake in Liverpool, according to sources in India.
Sources close to the businessman are adamant no approach has been made to the Premier League club, but it is believed Roy is examining the viability of buying a stake, which would dilute the shareholding of Liverpool's co-owners, George Gillett and Tom Hicks.
Sahara was identified as a candidate to replace AIG as Manchester United's shirt sponsors last year, though Roy has always insisted his first love is for cricket, and has consistently distanced himself with suggestions he may be prepared to invest in Premier League clubs.
It is unlikely, though, that Roy, or any potential bidder, would agree to join Hicks and Gillett as a minority partner.

Wireless Speed vs Wired speed
Likes # 0
Posted December 22, 2011 at 8:27PM
Running a broadband speed test on a desttop pc wired directly into the router gives me a speed of 9.5 mbps. The same test run on a number of different wireless devices connected to the same router is giving a speed of only 1.5 mbps even though the signal strength itself is excellent. All wireless devices except for the one running the test were off during the testing so there can't be any interference between them. Due to other issues I've replaced the router with a brand new N router and the same speed issue still exists. Verifying that the equipment is all okay. Surely the wireless speed should be much closer to the wired speed when it's the only device running. Any ideas?

Ethernet speeds will usually be greater than wireless but there is quite a discrepancy in your speeds. Have you had a go at changing the wireless channel on your router? Have a look at this article which explains why you may be having problems and how you may be able to solve them.

Maiden High School's new football coach carries an extensive resume in the sport.
James "Buddy" King, a former longtime college offensive line coach, was introduced as the new head Blue Devil in a press conference Tuesday in the school's auditorium.
King served the past two seasons as offensive line coach at Goose Creek High School in South Carolina.
"I can't thank Mr. (Dwayne) Finger, Mr. (Jeff) Price, the school board and all of you for the opportunity we all have here at Maiden High School," King said in his first comments to the community.
Four days after falling to Hickory on the road in the regular season finale, déjà vu struck the Fred T. Foard girls basketball team.
The Lady Tigers (14-10) lost 72-48 Tuesday in a game that mirrored a 72-54 loss to Hickory on Feb. 10.
Trailing 27-25 at the half, Hickory turned up its defense, outscoring Foard 23-7 in the third quarter.
Foard coach Brad Mangum said the quarter made a huge difference in deciding the winner of Tuesday's game.
CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Bobcats are hoping the return of point guard D.J. Augustin means the end of a dubious 15-game losing streak, the longest in franchise history.
The Bobcats (3-25) have lost 11 straight games with Augustin sidelined with inflammation in his right toe.

Well, it's finally arrived. Valentine's Day. It's here tomorrow. And as much as I warned and begged and pleaded and got down on my hands and knees and told you not to buy your Valentine's lingerie, I know some of you still did not heed my warning. Which is fine. My advice has proven to be mediocre at best through the years.
But for those of you who strictly follow the Egotastic! code of conduct, it's time to be rewarded with a look at some of our favorite sextastic celebrities in red lingerie. A typically complex theme I came up with in my basement laboratory, a bit of visual wonderment to fit the season, and to remind us all, that little bits of silk and lace are often best left to the professionals.

Re: Full or Shoal Keel on New Oyster 575?
Some of the issue may also depend upon the how hard one ones to think/work at getting into a given marina, haul out etc. If one wants to go there at any time, one needs a draft that equals the lowest range. If one does not have an issue with thinking, planning etc, then one can go with a deeper draft! Then get the sailing benifits of the deeper draft boat.
If one wanted BOTH options, then one has to figure out how to have a CB or lifting daggerboard as some LARGER boat manufactures are offering. If the OP has this option, I personally would go that route, then deep draft, last after exhausting ALL OTHER options would be a shoal draft. Assuming one is going to have draft issues everywhere they go. I would have a hard time assuming EVERYWHERE there will be draft issues with the drafts mentioned.

And I'll break both of them. Hell you could put me in a third, fourth, or even fifth one and I'll break them too
But to be honest I really won't need that many.
Actually no. The changes to cat form make your energy static now. Your energy always charges regardless whether you are in cat form or not, and the furor talent determines how much of your energy you keep (up to 100, which all ferals will have.) So shapeshifting no longer reduces the amount of damage you'll do, save for the global cooldown, but cat forms global cooldown is 1 second, which is shorter than a mages 1.5 second.
The only one that would concern me at all is deep freeze, but all that means is now I have a reason to use my pvp trinket while fighting a mage. Throughout the entire fight you will not be moving fast enough that I can actually ignore most of your slows/frostbolts/etc anyways. The only thing I need to actively break is the novas to avoid the shatter, which is easily done.
We get to use Deep Freeze way more often than you get to use your trinket. Deep Freeze is on a 30 second CD. Trinket is 2 min. We also have fingers of frost. That means we get a shatter combo even if your not frozen. As a frost mage I love it when someone trinkets (or in your case shapeshifts) out of a frostbite proc only to get blasted with an shatter combo 1 second later. We also have Icy Veins which with all my haste gear lowers Frostbolt to a 1.8s cast and won't let you push it back. We also have Ice Barrier which is 5k of damage mitigation at 80 that we can use every 30 seconds. And I hope you have quick reactions because every time you manage to break the barrier you'll be in a nova.
You have S4 gear so I'm sure you are quite good, but all I'm saying is mages are really strong now.

iPhone adding country code?
My iPhone is adding the US country code (+1) to all the phone numbers on it, and also on Google Maps.
In iTunes, my phone number appears as 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx
How do I remove this? I don't want to see the country code, and I don't know why it's appearing. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

It thinks you're abroad, for some reason. I don't know where you are, but it thinks you have an American phone, and are now outside the country. Anyway, turn off International Assist, and it will no longer be an issue.

Did you ever figure out how to fix this? I am having the exact same issue. As far as I can tell, it didn't happen until I synced my contacts with Microsoft Outlook 2007. I really want to get rid of the stupid 1 in front of all my numbers. It is incredibly irritating...

Sorry to resurrect an such an old thread, but I am having the same issue. It's not related to the phone or the SIM card. It's something on AT&T's side that is causing this to happen and they are not going to do anything about it because they say it is a non-issue (which it is). I do find it extremely annoying and wish they would look into it a little further than what they did. At this point, the only way I can resolve it is to get a new phone number which I am not going to do. When I spoke to Tier 3 tech support, I told them that my wife's iPhone, my mom's, and five of my friends iphone do not do this so why mine. Their response: they have two iphone's there in the office that are doing it so it must be normal. But I do agree, it is SO freaking annoying! Also, something new changed with my Vonage account. When my wife calls me from home it shows up as 11901#######. Vonage is sending out the country code with outgoing caller ID and since whatever "non-issue" AT&T has going on that's adding the +1 country code to all my incoming calls, that explains why I am getting two 1's in front of the incoming call. So if I touch that number in my recent call list, the call doesn't go through because it has two country code's in front of the local number. Man this sucks!

I actually have the reverse problem. Here in Canada I need the 1 in front of the number to call long distance. However when I uploaded all my contacts from my server, they come up as (XXX)XXX-XXXX. How do I add the 1?
|Sep 27, 2011, 12:20 AM
I had this issue today. It was very simple to fix, what I did was I used an at&t sim to acces the international assist setting, disabled it, restarted the phone (I'm using a gevey sim, my carrier is iusacell) and that was it. Hope it helps.

I noted the issue of phone calls, SMS & MMS messages starting to come in with phone numbers only and not resolving to contacts. They began to display +1 in front of the number which was the caller ID, Verizon provide in what seemed to be in a new format. Even thought the contacts already had the number in their profile, they all did not have 1's in front of their number.
I worked with Apple support and my issue seemed to be specific to Verizon. I corrected the issue by call *228 and use option #1 to program your phone again.
The fix was not immediate and after 3-5 minutes my phone numbers in recent calls did indeed resolve to a name versus just displaying the number. I also noted the SMS/MMS messages did not truncate or combine, though new messages did resolve to a name.
Hope this helps you!

Im having issues with phone calls showing up as +XX XXXX-XXXX
anyone know how to fix this? i've been on the phone with apple and att over 5 hours now.
it only seems to be happening with cricket wireless customers, i've swapped sims, updated/restore/etc, added and deleted contacts, on/off international assist, tried different iphones...you name it i've done it.
it never happened with my 4, just my since i purchased the 4s.
really annoying because anyone that is on my contact list doesn't show up as a contact just a 'international caller'
|Jan 7, 2015, 11:33 AM
I don't know if anyone is still reading this, but I have to ask: Why care? The added number 1 or +01 should work fine, and if you ever travel outside the U.S., the code is already there for you should you call back.

Do-it-yourself, Perl-controlled irrigation system
In this month's Perl column, we will introduce a system to water your plants while you are away from home. With a little help from Perl, a friendly, Linux-based irrigation system waters your plants twice a day.
During the summer months, if you take just a couple days of vacation and forget to ask your neighbor to water your plants while you are away, the plants on your balcony might not survive the drought. Instead of heading down to the supermarket to replace the dried-up victims when you get home, you might prefer to leave the task of watering your plants to a simple, do-it-yourself pump.

Mashantucket — Acknowledging its failure to meet the terms of a loan agreement reached in July 2013, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe, owner of Foxwoods Resort Casino, announced Thursday it's exploring its options with senior lenders.
In a news release issued shortly after 4 p.m., the tribe said it had entered into discussions "as a result of its failure to comply with certain financial covenants in the Credit Facility," a reference to the agreement between the tribe and Bank of America, N.A.
Scott Butera, Foxwoods' president and chief executive officer, indicated he could not comment on the talks.
Earlier in the day, Foxwoods posted its quarterly report for the period that ended June 30. The casino reported that in April, May and June, EBITDA — earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization — totaled $33.0 million, down $23.3 million, or 41.4 percent over the same period the previous year.
"We believe that consumer spending patterns remain challenging in our primary markets, particularly in the mass and mid-tier market segments," the report says. "As well, competitive pressures continue to be impactful, both from the expansion of gaming and marketing activities, in the Northeast gaming market."
The tribe defaulted on a debt of $2.3 billion in 2009, leading to a series of forbearance agreements with lenders and a debt-restructuring process that concluded more than 13 months ago. The resulting agreement enabled the tribe to exchange its outstanding debt for $1.7 billion in new debt.
"At the time, (Foxwoods) and its lenders agreed upon a financial performance forecast that was premised on improved economic conditions and a leveling out of competitive factors," the tribe said in its news release Thursday. "Those developments have been slow to materialize."
"Foxwoods' underlying business remains strong and day-to-day operations continue as usual and without interruption," the tribe said. "Moreover, the failure to comply with the financial covenants does not adversely impact Foxwoods' projected liquidity."
The tribe said it has continued to invest in Foxwoods despite the pressure on revenues. The casino has recently renovated hotel rooms and refurbished its retail and dining facilities. An outlet mall linking the original Foxwoods property to The Fox Tower, formerly MGM Grand, is scheduled to open in May 2015.
But the casino has also downsized its workforce in a bid to save on payroll costs. For the nine months that ended June 30, it employed the equivalent of 5,800 full-time workers, which is 9.6 percent less than during the same period the previous year, according to the quarterly report.
In June, Foxwoods curtailed weekday hours on a portion of its gaming floor.
"We believe, over the long term, that our focus on elimination of unprofitable lines of business and reinvestment in quality patrons will lead to a sustainable level of profitability," the casino says in its report.

Tamil Isai Sangam honours two artistes
Staff Reporter
TIRUCHI: Tiruchi witnessed another music and dance festival. But this time around, there was neither the overwhelming presence of silk and jasmine nor sublime `krithis' in Telugu.
It was out-and-out a Tamil festival with an authentic flavour of folk dance, music, instruments, all on one stage.
The `Tamil Isai Sangam' here strives to stimulate the ignored concepts and traditions of Tamil music, ostensibly, through the conduct of monthly music festivals.
This month's event offered dual treat for the audience.
For one, the yearly honorary title for folk artiste was conferred on two folk enthusiasts - A. Gopinath and Malarkodi Kandhaswamy. Secondly, the musical concert itself turned sweeter with Mr. Gopinath's passionate folk performance, retaining a distinct image while rekindling the Dravidian outlook in the audience.
The 34-member sangam organises folk concerts without jeopardising the very identity of the language on every first Sunday of Tamil month.
"Tamil folk arts and music broke new grounds in Indian music and served as pioneers in Carnatic music," says the Managing Secretary of the sangam, K. Rengarajan.
The 22-month-old sangam is brimming with hopes to enrich the performing arts of Tamil Nadu in various ways.
According to Mr. Renganathan, the sangam is charting out plans to support inception of dedicated music school for Tamil folk arts and to encourage researchers in that area.

Freida Pinto has revealed that she spent a lot of time online, researching about chimpanzees, to prepare for her role in Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
The Indian-origin actress was a little disappointed when Rupert Wyatt, director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, decided not to use real primates for the movie.
Despite the director not using real primates, the Slumdog Millionaire actress admits that she enjoyed learning about them by looking them up on the web.
"I would have loved to (spend time with apes) but there wasn't much opportunity," the Daily Star quoted her as telling the Daily Mirror.
"I did spend a lot of time reading about chimps, and also examining (primatologist) Jane Goodall's interviews and all her YouTube video links, so I did that kind of research," she added.

- Houston is 6-12 ATS in its last 18 games on the road

- The total has gone OVER in 11 of Golden State's last 14 games when playing at home against Houston
- Golden State is 2-16 SU in its last 18 games when playing Houston
- The total has gone OVER in 16 of Golden State's last 24 games when playing Houston
- Golden State is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games
This game features the 33-29 Rockets at the 35-27 Warriors. Two nights after beating the Raptors 125-118, Golden State (35-27) had its hands full with the lowly Kings before escaping with an 87-83 win Wednesday. Thompson scored a team-high 20, including the go-ahead 3 with 7.5 seconds to play for the Warriors, who were limited to 36.0 percent shooting — their worst mark in a win since February 2003.
"We're not the Miami Heat. We're not the Oklahoma City Thunder. A lot of nights it's not going to be pretty," coach Mark Jackson said. "That's just the fact. I embrace it. I give my guys credit because we battled, we competed, we got stops when we had to and we continued to put a check mark in the (win) column."
While he may sometimes get overshadowed by sharpshooter Stephen Curry and All-Star forward David Lee, Thompson has played a key role in Golden State's success. He's averaging 23.7 points while going 15 for 27 from 3-point range over the last three games, and the Warriors are 23-10 when he scores at least 16.
"I watch this guy every single day and this guy is a knockdown shooter in every sense of the term," Jackson said. "When you pick guys, that have ever played this game, that had to shoot a wide open shot — he's in the discussion. That's what Klay does for a living."
The Rockets (33-29) also beat the Warriors 140-109 on Feb. 5, while tying an NBA record and setting a franchise mark with 23 3-pointers.
Houston snapped a nine-game losing streak against Dallas with Sunday's 136-103 rout, but fell 112-108 in the back end of a home-and-home set Wednesday. Harden had 28 points and nine assists while Chandler Parsons scored 23, but the Rockets allowed the host Mavericks to shoot 54.2 percent.
Losers of 12 of 18 as the visiting team, the Rockets sit in 7th in the Western Conference, two games behind the Warriors.
I expect a close back and forth high scoring game as in the end the Warriors pull away with a 110-103 victory.

Ex-Wis. DA pleads no contest to ethics violations
The woman went to the police, who forwarded the case to the state Justice Department. That agency concluded Kratz committed no criminal wrongdoing, but urged him to get someone else to handle the woman's case and step down as chairman of the state crime victims board.
Kratz complied with both recommendations. He also was ordered to report the texts to the OLR.
The office concluded he acted inappropriately but declined to discipline him and closed his case in March 2010. It reopened the case in September 2010, bowing to intense public pressure.
More women started coming forward with allegations. The Justice Department reviewed their complaints but again found Kratz committed no criminal acts.
The OLR still brought the ethics charges against him, though, and the domestic abuse victim has filed a federal harassment lawsuit against him. Two months ago, he filed for bankruptcy.
The Associated Press
