New home developments are surging in the Lowcountry this year, but the market is showing signs of a slowdown due to a dwindling supply of ready-to-use lots, according to a new report.
The Charleston New Homes Snapshot for 2013 from Carolina One Real Estate says new home projects are still going strong. Permit activity is up 18 percent compared to the first eight months of 2012. A total of more than 2,500 new home permits have been issued in that time, the report said.
Permit activity is one way experts gauge builder confidence in the new homes market.
The strong demand and high sales have resulted in developers burning through the surplus of available land that had been sitting unused during the recession, according to Will Jenkinson, broker-in-charge for Carolina One New Homes.
"Trees are being knocked down right now and by about this time next year we will get the inventory of new lots where you can build new homes."
The report also showed that Charleston County is taking the lead in new homes projects.
The county has several large-scale homes developments, which includes Carolina Bay in West Ashley and Carolina Park, which is off U.S. Highway 17 in the north end of Mount Pleasant.
Berkeley County marked the second most active market for new homes.
The county is in the midst of a major uptick in new homes developments on tap, especially areas surrounding Summerville. Larger-scale projects include Cane Bay, Carnes Crossroads and Nexton.
Home prices
South Carolina home prices have leveled since the recession, according to a new U.S. Census Bureau report looking at the erosion of home values.
The federal agency report looked at average home values, as reported by homeowners, from two three-year spans: 2007-09 to 2010-12.
South Carolina fared better than most of the nation since the $136,300 average between 2007 and 2009 was exactly the same figure for 2010 through 2012, according to the data.
South Carolina was the only state to record neither a gain or loss comparing the two three-year spans.
The national average of $191,900 before the recession shrunk to $174,600 between 2010 and 2012, the agency reported.
The state with the largest post-recession depreciation was California.
The Golden State's home average dipped to $358,800 from $461,400.

MCSO IDs officer killed in West Valley ambush
PHOENIX -- The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office identified a detention officer who was shot and killed at his home on Tolleson on Thursday.
Jorge Vargas was 27 when he was killed near 89th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road.
Phoenix Police Sgt. Trent Crump said someone was spotted running from the scene around the same time when neighbors heard shots. The eight-year sheriff's office veteran was shot while standing in his driveway. Neighbors called 911 after hearing gunfire.
The officer died in a local hospital.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Vargas worked for the Sheriff's Office Custody Support Bureau in the jail's food factory, but he often came into contact with inmates.
He wouldn't speculate about whether Vargas' killing may have been related to his work, but said his office was assisting Phoenix police in the investigation, including gathering intelligence from the jails
"It's really going to affect the family he has in the sheriff's office as well as in law enforcement, but that's not going to stop us from trying to find this person and prosecute this person to the full extent (of the law)," said MCSO Sgt. Brandon Jones.
Vargas leaves behind a wife and a 5-year-old child.
Part of the area was temporarily blocked off to conduct the search for the shooter.
KTAR's Bob McClay and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

"One hundred SIT UPS"?
Hi all,
I've been doing the "one hundred push ups" program from http://hundredpushups.com/
for a while now. Now, I am looking for a similarily easy workout for my abs, something that I could do without too much effort before I go to work, or when I come home at night.
Could you please recommend me one?
- I am not looking to work out for a summer sixpack here, but just to strengthen my abs/trunk muscles a bit. *Groans.* I've been doing a bit FC sparring lately, and ooooh, I really need to get more in shape. *Applies more ointment to his abs.*
Thank you, and happy holidays,

Thank you for the advice. Maybe I should have asked in a more precise way, though:
I am looking for something I can do, like, right after waking up, or in a break of five to fifteen minutes, not a complete workout (I have tried the training-for-strength workout once, and it's trully exceptionally good). I am just looking for a small exercise that I can do in addition to my normal training (max. three times fighting, and three times lifting a week).
As to one-hundred-PU program, it's as good as anything else I guess, though I share hoodedmonk's opinion. It is okay for a time, but you take much longer to get to the magic hundred than just six weeks.

Use a wall to stop you on your way down ... right the point where you can bring yourself back to the starting position for a few reps. Over time (maybe months) you should be able to inch back till you no longer need the wall.

Oct. 27, 2008 -- Preschoolers now have their own food pyramid, covering not just what they should eat, but also their growth, physical activity, and what to do when they draw battle lines over food.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture today launched the "My Pyramid for Preschoolers" Web site today in Chicago at the American Dietetic Association Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo.
My Pyramid for Preschoolers is geared to the parent or other caregiver who makes most of the food choices for children aged 2-5.
Visitors to the My Pyramid for Preschoolers Web site can enter the child's first name, age, gender, and typical amount of daily activity. The site then generates a plan tailored to that child.
For instance, My Pyramid for Preschoolers recommends that a 2-year-old boy who gets 30-60 minutes of daily physical activity (including playing) get 3 ounces of grains, one cup of vegetables, one cup of fruits, two cups of milk, and 2 ounces of meat and beans per day. And a 5-year-old girl who gets less than 30 minutes of physical activity per day should get 4 ounces of grains, 1.5 cups of vegetables, one cup of fruits, two cups of milk, and 3 ounces of meat and beans per day, according to the Web site.
The Web site also includes sample meal plans and ideas for coping with picky eaters (such as letting the child help you cook and giving them choices, not eat-it-or-else ultimatums) and ways to encourage kids to try new foods (such as offering new foods at the start of a meal, when the child is hungry).

I know I have made a lot of promises, and delivered of few, I can make no apologies as certain unforeseen issues have taken a hold of my life and not to mention my back and several other physical locations on my body
The drugs that the Doctors have prescribed are just this side of intolerable and have made me "Stupid" more often than not. So I have been subject to a lot of down time.
So bare with me as I go and am drugged more often than not.
I ask for your patience
The Dexpot Project
As of today I am working on an aggressive plan
I am going to document my efforts to have Circle Dock work with Dexpot VDM
So what is Dexpot???
I will let them tell you
Dexpot 1.5 turns your monitor into up to 20. Dexpot creates additional workspaces you can quickly switch between. Take, for example, Desktop 1 to listen to your favourite music, surf the web on Desktop 2, use Desktop 3 to handle your daily word processing or switch to Desktop 4 for a game of Solitaire.Dexpot is a Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM) and like so many before it, it handles multiple Virtual Desktops across your computer to a primary monitor.
Different icons, wallpapers, start-ups, and much more can be configured for each desktop.
Different icons, wallpapers, start-ups, and much more can be configured for each desktop.
Unlike so many before it, it has the advantage of two Highly aggressive programmers (Sebastian and Patrick) and a small team of Beta testers (I am one of them). Dexpot is a great alternative to many old outdated VDM's and a great competitor to VirtuaWin (Who has been around for many years and many OS's), but Dexpot offers more. More in options. Options that extend beyond the UI settings page. When the settings dialog is not enough; you can reference their forums FAQ to reach down into some of the workings and get even more options.
You all know me, and I believe options are good
But more than this; Dexpot is ultra low resource and works like a champ on my little laptop (intel T3200 2.0Ghz 512 L2 Cache x2, 4Gigs RAM, integrated/shared Intel Graphics 4500) with all 20 Virtual Desktops available. I typically use four as I am also used to a Linux OS, and I am comfortable at that level.
Dxepot also has the advantage of being very user friendly in Windows 7 environment, and many of you already know that I am using the 64bit version.
Dexpot has also recently released an SDK (I recently submitted for this years N.A.N.Y. Project here at DC Concepts) that can be built upon to develop Plugins for Dexpot, but also (if it passes the beta testing phase) you will also soon be able to operate VirtuaWin "Modules" with Dexpot (Which is proving to be a mixed bag, but most work
Enough of Dexpot; moving right along
What is Circle Dock:
You are here?
I hope you know and understand this much
If not; give Circle Dock a spin
Rainmeter integration???
I originally opened a dialectic with the folks at Dexpot looking for a Collaboration project between Circle Dock, Rainmeter, and Dexpot.
Sebastian and Patrick have been more than willing to help us expand Dexpot's capabilities.
I will be making an initial skin for Rainmeter (Rainmeter 1.2 is due for full release tomorrow), but that is for another forum venue, and I will place a link here regarding this in the future, but first I wish to complete the Circle Dock functionality at this time.
The project outlined
The project I intend to document here is to have Circle Dock be able to switch between screens as needed, with a forward, previous and back buttons. I also wish to add as many options as possible, with out being overly crowded.
This may sound initially easy, when you know how, but there are other things top consider, Simple but time consuming;
Graphic Icons (Customized of course
Knowing what to use, and what to skip
Placement in Circle Dock
So I begin, and may expand as I go on capabilities, if possible as I go
I also wan to address the awkward issues of utilizing some programs if they are on a different VD and you need to control these with out switching Virtual desktops.
ie: Winamp is on VD 3 and you are working on VD1, you want t ochange teh song (Next Track), and you co not want to switch to VD3 to change the music....Circle Dock maybe your answer
I will address this as I continue
So get excited folks and also be patient as this will be complete in several steps/parts and may take some time, as I will be documenting as I go.
So this is not a done deal! This is an experiment in motion and I will take you along as I go
Where to start??? With the Graphics of course
As many of you know; I have a desktop wallpaper collection that is insanely large. I have selected a few that I want to place of Each Virtual Desktop (Yep; You can have a different wallpaper per VD ) , but I also want matching Graphics for each Icon that I will be placing into circle dock. This creates and easily identifiable , Visual, Icon that I can thne select so that I can then go to each Virtual desktop as needed, via visual reference.
So say I have the following background:
I want a matching Icon for my Circle Dock shortcut on my laptop or Netbook.
Maybe I want it to have the Number of the Desktop
Now you are saying; "But; what if I have a Desktop, or want another type of Icon?"
You can always customize your icons as you see fit.
I have decided to do a release set of Icons and accompanying wallpaper for this project. I do not expect everyone to utilize them ,but may be helpful for a reference, so if you want something different you can have icons such as the following;
Holly Sweet Hanna; how did he do that???
Time and patience, and still making these, for this example project.
You can make them as well
The following PNG images are the base exemplars for all these images.
I am using Gimp to complete these images as fast as possible.
All I am simply doing is taking the Background/Wallpaper image I want to utilize in a Dexpot Virtual Desktop, and then shrinking it down to match the appropriate image. Stretching the image as needed, to obtain the appropriate visual effect (You will notice this in the desktop Icon image, as the wallpaper is slightly at a perspective angle).
I have packaged the PNG's and the Gimp XCF (Gimp Raw layer saving format) file in the following download:
Icon Blanks Download Zip
Continuing on (06/12/2010 16:25 -7 GMT)
Ok I have completed the graphics and these will be made available through the Circle Dock Mediafire account.
While this Zip files is uploading, here are a few notes regarding graphics and associated file.
This is a large files with a ton of graphics. Approximately 16.26M (Wish 7-Zip was more common, files would be smaller than a Meg)
This un-packaged folder will break down into several sub-folders:
- Blanks: Same file as made available earlier
- Desktop Icons: As it says. This is a series of Icons with a desktop look
- Examples: This file is full of mixed graphics that I will explain in detail later in this project
- Laptop Icons: Similar to Desktop Icons, but with a Laptop graphic
- Monitor Icons: Similar to the Desktop and Laptop Icons, but with just a Monitor Image
- Wallpaper 1280x800: Exactly as the folder name. All wallpaper is in a 1280x800 format, as this is what I use on my laptop.
ie. WallPaper 01 will match with MonitorI 01, Laptop 01, Desktop 01 Icons
This was done to make things easier on me for this project
Ah good; The file is now finished.
The graphics in the following files are the ones I will be utilizing through out this portion of the project:
01 Circle Dock Dexpot Project.zip
So now that I have the graphics completed (the most time consuming part. Took many hours to complete these). It is now time to move forward and put Circle Dock to work with Dexpot.
Putting Circle Dock Shortcuts together to work with Dexpot
First an ugly note here:
This initial work up is going to be based on Command line.
Ultimately it is not what I would see happen. I would have a greater integration with Dexpot.
* I would love to see a corresponding Icon in Circle Dock, be lighted or somehow marked, so that the users of Circle Dock can more readily identify what desktop they are on by simple visual identification.
* Dexpot has a drag and drop capability for desktop items. so that Icons, shortcuts, files, and folders can be moved from Virtual Desktop X to Virtual Desktop Y.
I will document more of a "Wish List" as I continue on.
So this first project build may be less than some readers are anticipating (For Now!!! Markham is apparently not Vacationing, as he should be, and is "Hot On" this project as well. Read through additional posts in this thread for greater detail), but the folks at Dexpot recently expanded their Command Line functions in order to accommodate requests that I had proposed.
The necessary information regarding Dexpot Command Line Parameters can be found here:
If necessary I can post the full command line list here.
So if necessary, let me know and I will do so.
I will also be covering many of the relevant Command Line parameters as I go along on the project
Now that that note is done; This project will still be well worth the read through, and I will continue, as there is more than just Dexpot to consider in this.
Stay tuned you will see
(Continued 06/13/2010 1355 -7 GMT)
Apologies for the late updates in this project.
Rainmeter 1.2 was just released today, and that took priority this morning
First updates, as a lot has happened since yesterday.
First off; Our beloved Circle Dock Programmer Markham, who has a inability to vacation properly; like he's supposed to. Has pointed out that he will work towards better Dexpot integration.
So I may need to re-write this project, or do a continuation of it, in the future.
That ain't Nutt'in but a thing
As Markham pointed out, this possible temporary resolution, may have some consequences to your system resources (in spikes) and be slow to react, but should still be functional
Ok....Let me get some stuff put together here, and I will continue shortly
Ok I am going to start today with the assumption, or not, that some of you have downloaded and reviewed the graphics file listed above yesterday.
In the Examples folder there are a few graphics with what appears to be a 2x2 screen capture.
So what is this for?
This is the Images I will use for a couple of Icons, But initially this is going to be my default Dexpot Icon for my Circle Dock.
So how do we make that Graphic????
Well; For those of you that caught my final notes yesterday. I used Dexpot's "Full-Screen Preview" and Screenshot Captor.
As far as I know Screenshot Captor may be the only capture tool that can capture this particular image, at least as far as I am aware of.
I then shrunk the Image using Gimp to fit the blanks, also posted yesterday.
Besides; The Dexpot mascot "Dex" is so retro I got gray hair
Dex =
So I needed a new Image for the Circle Dock Icon Shortcut, that will be created later
A moments pause to make sure you have what you need
I am going to assume that you have downloaded and installed Dexpot.
If you have not, then you can get more information on Dexpot and the appropriate download from here:
Gimp can be downloaded here:
More of Screenshot Captor here:
Now that is done, we are moving right along.
I am not going to go into great details about Gimp, unless I have to, and not in this project venue, so if you need help, let me know, and I will go into greater detail at some other time.
Getting the 2x2 Icon image
Make sure you have Screenshot Captor Installed and running.
Go to your Dexpot in the systems tray
Or in:
Start> All Programs> Dexpot> Main Menu> Full-Screen Preview
Once you have your Screen Preview up, use the following hotkeys:
ctrl+prt sc (Control and Print Screen at the same time)
This will then open up Screenshot captor with a great graphic for our needs.
Go ahead and go to the Screenshot Captor Menu Bar and File.
In here use: "Save copy of Image As"
Save your image to a location where you can find it and manipulate with the samples, if you wish.
You are welcome to use any image you wish, but I like relational images that show me what I am looking at
So either find an image that works for you, or manipulate an image together based on the image pack I supplied earlier.
You are also welcome to use the images I have supplied. I have created a full set based on what I think I need. So more may be added as we go
Additional though
For those that have reviewed the download supplied earlier, The Wallpaper is labeled in a manner that I intend to use them. These correspond to to the individual Icons, as I like to have a matching image to my wallpapers, but you are welcome to utilize these images in any way you see fit, or not
In order to assign a wallpaper to a virtual desktop in Dexpot, Please review the Dexpot "Quick Start Guide".
It is in a PDF format, about 20 pages long and makes for a real fast read
Time to put it all together
So let's put this thing together. I will be going fast here (I think) so you are welcome to review as many times as need, and if I miss something, let me know
Go ahead and bring up your Circle Dock.
Figure out where you want to put your desktop Icon.
Keep in mind that the actual Dexpot control will be on the next layer, or Circle Dock folder.
Right Click on the Circle Dock ring you have chosen and go to:
Add> Dock Folder
Click on "Folder" and wait for the settings dialog.
Track down the appropriate Icon you wish to use.
For Name: I simply used "Dexpot"
Click "Finished" when you are done
Now go ahead and click on the new folder, and this will open the next Folder/Layer of Circle Dock (I know; Redundant )
Apologies folks.....Markham caught me working here and needed to run some distraction
Back to it.
This is where we should be:
Now lets add some goodies
Dexpot Command Line and Virtual Desktop Switching
Right click on Circle Dock
Go to "Add"
File, Folders or Special Items (Click it)
and wait for the Items settings window
1.) Image; Once the settings window has come up, you can go ahead and track down an image, or do that later.
Here at the moment we are more concerned with adding the a Name, Target, Argument, and Run Parameters
This first shortcut is going to represent Desktop One
2.) Name; I am going to simply name this Shortcut "Desktop 1"
3.) Target; you will need to seek out, or enter the path for Dexpot.exe here.
Typically Dexpot will be located in:
[copy or print]Or wherever you saw fit to install dexpot on your system.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dexpot\dexpot.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dexpot\dexpot.exe
4.) Argument; This is where the work will take place for the shortcut: The Command Line.
Once again; The Command Line calls can be found here:
Now as we refer to Dexpot's Command Line capabilities. We find that the "Argument" of -w 1 will symbolize Desktop 1.
so in the Argument area we want to enter:
[copy or print]
-w 1
-w 1
5.) Run; although not absolutely necessary. I have set mine to Invisible or Hide.
6.) Click Finished
You should now have an Icon on Circle Dock similar to below:
Now repeat these steps to make an icon for every Virtual desktop you have; up to twenty:
keeping in mind the following
1.) This will be the next image you have chosen.
2.) The name will change as you see fit to represent Desktop 2
3.) The path to "dexpot.exe" will remain the same
4.) The argument will change to represent the appropriate desktop; ie: -w 2, -w 3, -w 4, -w5, etc.
5.) Remember to set Run to Hide in the drop down
6.) Finished
rinse and repeat again, till you have an icon representing each Virtual desktop you have.
I am going to build three more of these, as I use 4 Virtual Desktops, and I will be right back
While you go along; Be sure to check your new Icons, to ensure they are doing what they are supposed to.
If you hit an issue, let me know, and I will stop what I am doing to get you up and running
Now hopefully you have something like the following happening:
Adding Dexpot Options
Now hopefully you are operating your Dexpot via Circle Dock and not through the systems tray, SevenDex, or some other method.
Now we need to add some additional options so we can quick switch Virtual desktops, open the settings dialog, and other visual options.
Let's get started.
First Off I am going to start by adding NEXT, PREVIOUS, BACK
For more information on what these are, again I will point you to the Dexpot FAQ post regarding Command Line Options:
Now this is going to be very similar to what we have done already for getting Circle Dock to handle the Virtual Desktop switching
In fact; All we are going to do different is add different Icon Images and a Different Argument. All else remains the same
Once again right click on Circle Dock and Bring up the "ADD" and then "Files, Folders or Special Items", Click it ans wait for teh Item Settings Window.
Then following the guide lines outlined in the settings we used before:
1.) This will be the next image you have chosen.
I have included additional images in the "Examples" folder in the download that is listed above
2.) The name will change as you see fit to represent Previous, Next, Back, etc
3.) The path to "dexpot.exe" will remain the same
4.) The argument will change to represent the appropriate option; ie: -next, -prev, -back
5.) Remember to set Run to Hide in the drop down
6.) Finished
Then rinse and repeat to add other additional Options for Dexpot.
I have included Icon Images for the following Options:
- Previous
- Next
- Back
- Catalogue Desktop
- Settings
- Images "00*****" are designed to be the "Center Image" and the "Full-Screen Preview" option button
If you desire additional options that are identified in the Dexpot Command line Parameters.
You will need to add custom Icon Images as needed.
I have only included Icon Images for those Options that I use, and feel are most common
I have ensured that these images are in match with the Dexpot Command Line Parameters.
Now if I just lost anybody; Let me know and I will better clarify what Just happened, or should happen
But Hopefully when you are done, you will end up with a similar working result as the following:
Q&A Time
Great to hear the launcher I like so much is going to be even better. I never liked a launcher before CDo, and I've never liked any virtual desktops, so there's hope for me to change my mind about that, too. Awesome.
Question (possibly dumb):Is the CDo going to stay static through all the desktops? I've seen multi desktops that change too much, IMH very out dated O and fuzzy recollection. I think I stand a better chance to be converted if it does, or even better, can be static or fluid.
I hope nobody minds if I use CDo to abbreviate Circle Dock. I've seen CD used but I needed to set something apart for some reason today.
Sarge, sorry to hear about your back troubles. Get better soon. My sister's husband went through back trouble for months a few years back, but he's back playing football (American) and in the gym again, no problems since, as far as I've heard.

I needed a bit of clarification on this, but now have it figured out.
Many users utilize Circle Dock in a fixed location on their desktops.
Now, typically, when you switch Virtual Desktops, it is a toss up on what is going to move, and what is going to remain on any given Virtual desktop.
In this instance it is typical that Circle Dock will remain on the last desktop it appeared on.
Dexpot has a solution for such a situation as ours.
As defined in The following article at Dexpot:
As described;
The wechsel.ini file is located in the Dexpot root folder (usually C:\Program Files\Dexpot) and offers the capability to create exceptions for switching desktopsThe wechsel.ini is note so much a secret, rather just no one really is aware of it.
The wechsel.ini is the answer to many issues that have been experience in VDM environments of the past.
In this case we want CD to be "Static" (in the same place) across all Virtual desktops.
and the wechsel.ini is the answer
Let's do this
Go ahead and close Circle Dock and Dexpot.
Once both programs are closed. Navigate to the Dexpot Program file.
Typically in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Dexpot
Find the wechsel.ini and open this with Notepad or an editor of your choice.
MS Word will not work for this so you must use a code editor
Once open; add the following code to the last line in [Klasse] area.
[copy or print]
Save the ini file.
Start Dexpot, then start Circle Dock
This should allow Circle Dock to appear on all desktops at the same time.
I have been testing this for a few hours now and have had mixed results, but then again; I have been running Circle Dock through some serious rungs today.
So try it, and if this does not work, or even if it does, please let us know.
If there is a continuing issue, we may have to have Markham and the folks at Dexpot take a look into this jointly to get a solution.
Well that is it for me tonight....I will be back tomorrow to continue.
I think we are ready to move on to part two, and this is where the game gets interesting.
Let me put it to you this way;
How often do you want to switch to Dexktop X to change Winamp, when you are working on Desktop Y ???
Frustrating as hell.
I think I have an answer; Wait and see what I do in part 2

The Spanish full-back netted the opening goal of the game - his first ever goal for Chelsea - as Jose Mourinho stretched his unbeaten record against Arsene Wenger to nine matches.
Arsenal face a difficult run of games which sees them face Liverpool and Manchester United in their next two league games, but Azpilicueta says Chelsea are just trying to concentrate on their own performances.
"Arsenal now have two really hard games but we don't need to look at other teams. We need to keep working," said the former Osasuna player.
"We are improving in every game and this is the most important thing. We are growing up as a team. We are in second, two points less than Arsenal, and we're now going to try and get up to first.
"We play in a difficult stadium as well in Newcastle on Saturday. It's always hard there. This league is really competitive."
Azpilicueta, who signed for Chelsea from Marseille in 2012, explained Chelsea's performance against Arsenal has lifted the entire squad.
"We felt really confident on the pitch and did a very good game," he said.
"We controlled most of the game. We had two or three more chances but the feeling inside of us was that we were dominating Arsenal in their stadium and they are top of the table, so it's very nice."

Speech and voice changes are common in Parkinson's Disease, with an estimate that 89% of individuals with Parkinson's undergo some change in communication abilities. The initial changes in voice and speech may be subtle and represent the insidious nature of the disease, which hovers in the background changing the way respiratory, voice, and speech muscles work. Unfortunately, patients often wait to pursue treatment until symptoms are more pronounced and, by that time, communication habits are more entrenched, improvements in voice are harder to attain, and requests for repetition, nagging, and frustration have become a part of the daily ritual for the non-Parkinson's spouse/carepartner.
Talking to one's spouse, which may have been a pleasurable and an emotionally fulfilling part of a couple's relationship, may gradually disappear and become another burden associated with the disease.
While there are numerous sources for information regarding specific therapy techniques directed at improving voice and speech, such as the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment® program, there is not a lot of information directed at helping couples maintain or improve their pattern of communication when speech has become difficult. Communication that is full of directives: "you need to …" or "speak up…" can become parent-like or demeaning to the individual who may need extra time to formulate a thought or a response. A speech and voice impairment may be erroneously interpreted as a cognitive impairment, resulting in unfamiliar speakers directing conversation to the healthy spouse, while the individual with Parkinson's sits passively and quietly on the sidelines. If hearing loss is an issue for either partner, as well as refusal to use a hearing aid, day to day communication is guaranteed to deteriorate further.
So, what are some things that individuals can do to improve their communication with a spouse whose speech and voice have declined due to Parkinson's?
Communication patterns in relationships are typically as unique as the individuals involved, with patterns of interacting established long before the emergence of a communication impairment. When, for instance, a wife says to me: "I wish my husband would talk more," and I ask: "was he a big talker before his diagnosis?", and she says: "Not really, he was always kind of a loner," I am amused. How can we imagine that a man who barely communicated before his diagnosis of Parkinson's will talk more, when speech and voice are now an effort?
Anyone with a recent diagnosis of Parkinson's should embark on a program of voice strengthening to maintain and improve communication abilities. But even if your partner is now in the middle or late stages of the disease a qualified speech-language therapist may still be able to assist you in improving your day to day communication.
Mary Spremulli, MA, CCC-SLP resides in SW Florida, where she holds a speech- language pathology and nursing license with the mission of enlisting individuals in their treatment, and helping them express their personality & spirit through voice. She is founder of Voice Aerobics, LLC, a private practice, and is the author of Voice Aerobics DVD™, Voice Aerobics Grand Slam ™, and Voice Aerobics™ Songbirds CD, voice and exercise programs. The Voice Aerobics™ family of products blends the art and science of voice therapy into fun programs designed to be used independently by patients, and which may maximize function and reduce speech and voice symptoms associated with Parkinson's Ms. Spremulli has worked in the health care field for over 25 years, and has lectured nationally and internationally on health related topics. Ms Spremulli has published in the area of Clinical Ethics and Patients Education. For more information, please visit http://www.voiceaerobicsdvd.com or http://voiceaerobicsdvd.blogspot.com.

Rebecca Cummins
Skylight Aperture Sundial
Montlake Branch, Seattle Public Library
2401 24th Ave. E.
Libraries for All Bond 1% for Art
Rebecca Cummins' sundial is comprised of five colored glass discs in the ceiling, held in place by steel brackets, which project colorful spotlights that float through the library as the sun moves across the sky. Markings on the floor indicate the position of solar noon from the spring to autumn equinox. The projected light from the first orange circle is designated the "aperture nodus" for the sundial, and its path is marked on the floor below to indicate both clock noon and solar noon.
The additional colored projections are decorative. The shape and position of the spotlights are continuously changing; near the summer solstice the projections of colored light elongate and splay down the staircase in the afternoon. At other times, the circles of color cross the walls, beams, patrons and bookcases.

The Miele Company has a long and rich history
of high quality engineering. "Immer Besser" or "Forever Better" was established
early as the company motto and stands for a commitment to the highest quality standards,
longevity and improvement; both in production and business practices. This philosophy
is as relevant today as it was over 113 years ago.
Founded in 1899 by a farmers son, Carl Miele, and a salesman, Reinhard Zinkann,
The Miele Company is still independently owned and managed by the Miele and Zinkann
families. With global headquarters in Gutersloh, Germany, Miele is a world leader
in the production of premium domestic and commercial appliances. There are 8 production
plants in Germany and also plants in Austria, the Czech Republic, Romania and China.
Miele has its own wholly owned sales subsidiaries in 47 countries and is represented
in a further 48 by distribution partners. Company turnover now exceeds €3bn.
In 1963 Karl Heinz Wedekind, who recognised a demand for high quality domestic appliances,
was entrusted by Rudolf Miele to set up a subsidiary in Great Britain. Miele GB
started operating from modest offices in Great Portland Street and employed only
7 staff. In 1972 the company moved to larger premises in Acton and then in 1981,
to Abingdon, Oxfordshire
As the demand for Miele products has increased the Abingdon site has expanded and
now occupies 13.5 acres. The premises comprises of large purpose built offices,
120,000 square feet of warehouse space and the Miele Experience Centre

By Tracy Steffenson
Has anyone really taken the time to look around lately and see what we are all doing to our children, well you not me as I have no kids. When your child competes in, lets say, an olympics type of scenario and comes home with a double gold medal something is wrong.
Now a days kids always make the team, get medals for participation, and are running around with cell phones before they can tie their own shoes. I think America as a whole needs a wake up call. I got my first cell phone when I was 17 years old, had to work hard to make the team, and only got a medal if I was good enough to make it to the top.
What is happening to this country if even winning a silver medal isn't good enough? How will it be before you ask a kid if they won and they say, "No, but I came in double first." And who comes up with these ideas? Losers! And do you know what these children do when they grow up? Buy homes they can't afford, crush the financial market and yell at police officers when they get caught doing something wrong. We are raising a bunch of whiners who expect everything to go their way and get it handed to them on a silver, wait I mean gold, plate.
You don't see couples starting out in smaller sized "starter homes" anymore, you see them going to the bank and getting a 4-5 bedroom home with 3 bathrooms, a hot tube and a 3 car garage. It doesn't matter that they really can't afford it, that is what they want and they are not going to settle for a silver medal because they have been taught that they only deserve the best, no matter what the cost.
Next thing you know their house is getting foreclosed on. But who's fault is this? Of course it isn't the buyer's fault, oh no it's the banker's fault. The guy who laid everything out in black and white in the paperwork. You want to know what the problem was? The people taking the loans didn't read the black and white, all they saw was the big ole' house they "deserved" to have.
Whatever happened to taking responsibility for your actions? I know, I know!!! Our country has become a bunch of spoiled little whiney brats who don't care what happens as long as they get what they want, when they want it.
There is one thing in the Constitution, a key word that everyone has seemed to be overlooking lately; "pursuit." This country was founded on the concept of Life, Liberty and the PURSUIT of happiness. No where does it say guaranteed happiness or worry free happiness. Nope it says pursuit, which means looking, working and striving to own it.
The problem is once people start expecting to be taken care of we are all doomed. Once they start using their vote on a "what's in it for me" basis instead of who is best for the job or will do the best thing for the country it is going to be a downward slide that is going to be impossible to reverse. Unfortunately, there are more dumb people than smart people and in this country the majority rules. Pretty simple really but most don't seem to grasp it.
So for all the "We don't keep score at soccer games" generation, money wasn't a worry, mom and dad were a bottomless pit of cash. Now all of a sudden that generation has grown up and expects the government (aka me and you) to replace Mom and Dad. All I can say is I don't want to replace them. I am an American who's very content with her life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Sure there are things I want like, a bigger house and a new car are a few of them but can I afford them? Not yet so I am waiting. See how that works?!?!
If everyone would just concentrate on those things, they wouldn't have to go through all the other crap that they bring onto themselves. What else can I say?

Today being Monday I thought I'd renew a tradition I had started a few years ago. As most of you on Twitter knows on Monday we pay special tribute to our men and women serving our country in various branches of our Military. I received an email yesterday that rekindled my desire for another tribute to our troops. It spoke volumes of how as we as a society have digressed. I ask each of you that reads the names of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice; that you remember them and their families in your thoughts and prayers…The email:

My daughter was very happy and excited to give these cards to her classmates. She right away framed her poster. She is very grateful for the thoughtfulness in sharing something so special. God bless and continue the good fight.
These valentines bring humor as well as a message in the scripture that is included. Not only would children enjoy them because of the popularity of Duck Dynasty but the parents of the children (if they see them) as well as the teacher. The poster that was included by the Duck Dynasty family shows the values they represent and uphold. I gave that to my sister who teaches at a Christian Daycare so they could post it on one of their bulletin boards.
very good for a classroom

I didn't. Too many issues with FaceTime and MMS. Plus when I jailbroke my gf's 3GS when I installed Winterboard and applied the them "no docked or undocked icons", I thought the phone was going to blow up.
I'll wait it out. Mobile Terminal doesn't work and I don't know how to change my root password otherwise.
Why did you Jailbreak iPhone 4? (If you did)
The iPhone 4 (and iOS 4.x) Jailbreak hit last night and by the looks of our Jailbreak Forum, many of you have gotten busy and quickly.
Since iOS 4 allows wallpaper and multitasking, and iPhone 4 is available officially unlocked in many countries, we're curious why you're Jailbreaking this time around?
Better notifications? Glance-able information for the lock screen? Drop-down settings access? Themes? Removing Wi-Fi-only restrictions? Wi-Fi hotspot? AT&T unlock? What's keeping on the Jailbreak these days?

Why did you Jailbreak iPhone 4? (If you did)
I didn't. Too many issues with FaceTime and MMS. Plus when I jailbroke my gf's 3GS when I installed Winterboard and applied the them "no docked or undocked icons", I thought the phone was going to blow up.
I just finished jail breaking my iPhone 4 running IOS 4.0.1. No problems at all with FaceTime or MMS. I've also rebooted the phone several times with no probs.
The main reason I jail broke this time around was for MyWi, so I can tether my iPad. I'm curious to see if FaceTime will work with 3G ubrestrictor. I also really like my AOL "You've got Mail" mail notification. I probably won't be doing much of the customizations or need backgrounder anymore.
I jailbreak because there's no way I am ever going to pay for ATT's insane tethering prices.
Now that the issues have been ironed out I'm just waiting to download apps updated for iPhone 4.
With a jailbreak this easy people that have been on the fence will now take the plunge into the jailbreak scene. I hope this increases the quantity and quality of jailbreak apps.
I did out of curiosity... many years without ever trying it I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. Tonight I'll revert back once I figure out the best way to do so. Its slow, buggy, and it feels like things aren't working right anymore. Would have liked to test mywi but I have a 3G package for my iPad that I don't plan to cancel because of a jailbroken phone. Its interesting to have the option and maybe cydia will fill up with more interesting stuff in the future.. but for now its not for me. I'm actually sad it was a lame experience.
I jailbroke my phone actually on accident at jailbreakme.com. I didn't think it could be done through safari like that. Awesome process. I was disapoited at how much cydia sucks compared to the app store. There is no descriptions and no image previews. Plus it installs dependencies but when you uninstall, I have no idea how to get rid of the dependencies. Plus winterboard messed up my phone because I think it was for ios3. Why did cydia let me install it!!!! I had to do a restore. Really disappointed. I'll stick with apple approved apps.
@JD...your JB is slow and buggy? Do you have any animated themes runni o anything? Mine works really good. Can't tell a difference in performance at all.
As for me I jb for intelliscreen, MyWi, and sbsettings. I HATE going to the settings menu to turn wifi on/off all the time and I like to keep it off unless I need it for battery purposes. Just one example of many.
If TIPB doesn't know why people jailbreak by now...:P
Sames reasons as always. Because Apple is so controlling.
People want to tweak their smartphones as they've done for years now. They want to be able to install the apps they want such as MyWi. Or download files over 20mb. Or hopefully be able to use facetime using 3G that we already pay through the nose for.
Perhaps a better question would be why wouldn't you jailbreak? It's simple to do.
REPLY HEADLINE: What are the disadvantages or problems with JBren phones? What will I lose, or what disadvantages will I face?
I have worked with computers for 32 years, since the DOS days. Yes, I saw the evolution of personal computing. I know that Apple "borrowed" the GUI from XEROX PARC, but that Microsoft did not keep up, and came out with the ugliest GUI ever in Windows 3.1! (What were they thinking?) Nonetheless, I liked that I was a superpower over my DOS machines, and that the Windows (Microsoft Windows, that is) would be compatible with more software.
I briefly even used Macs in their infancy when desktop publishing, PDF, and Postscript were born. It was a beautiful time. Could have been even more beautiful had a Mr. Bill Gates not walked the earth in his greedy shoes.
I just got an iPhone 4 (my first iPhone ever) and I am just wondering what took me so long. Although, I have been also using the 2G original iPhone that my bro in law gave my partner, I can see some lag time that is not apparent on iPhone 4. I probably would have hated that. So far, there are only a few issues I have with iPhone 4. Maybe about 3. Other than that, I think the designers thought of just about everything they could.
With that said, I would like to use my iPhone 4 tethered to my notebook without paying AT&T, the ripoff company, a ton of money for just that feature alone. On an aside, I would also like the ability to have unlimited data for $30, which AT&T "claims" is to provide the customer with a cheaper alternative that saves some money. Hmph. $5 is not much of a monthly savings. Why not give us unlimited data, minutes, and SMS for $50 monthly??? Now that would save us some money. HELLO AT&T!!!
I also like that I heard I could sync my phone thru WiFi, like I do with USB now, AND, most importantly, I want my OWN SMS TONES!!!
Can someone tell me what to look out for, and what I am up against in doing this? What will I lose? What will I gain?
I'm on a Microsoft Windows PC (not for long), so I need instructions geared toward that environment. I would also like an outline of steps to follow in doing this, just a brief step by step list of the motions taken and the order taken, so that, as I am following on the various tutorials, I will know what step I am on and that I am doing it all correctly.
Thank you all great people, for any help you can give me. I do give rep and praise for help given to me, and I try to assist others where I can.
I am looking forward to being part of this forum, as it seems the most down-to-earth, yet professional and friendly community.
Best wishes, I will await your replies!
I jailbroke mainly for SBSettings, BiteSMS and Scrobbl, but use many other tools like LockInfo, Backgrounder, iBlueNova and Winterboard for some little modifications.
@Kil Miller:
Cydia has descriptions and image previews, but they're not really unified, sometimes you have to click on "More info" for screenshots and stuff like that. And sometimes they take their time until they show up, especially at the moment because of all the new Jailbreakers.
You can uninstall dependencies and system packages by switching to the advanced view while in the packages screen.
Winterboard has been updated for iOS4, but maybe a theme you installed wasn't 100% compatible. Switching to "Summerboard mode" could possibly have helped.
"@Jordan…your JB is slow and buggy? Do you have any animated themes runni o anything? Mine works really good. Can't tell a difference in performance at all. " - In Reply
Not slow and buggy at all, works perfectly and smoothly, just some theme's arn't displayed properly because of the retina display but it looks just as good with a few tweaks!
I Jb cause of biteSMS, SBSettings, MyWi but I can't get it to work. Install0us of course!
Saying iOS4 multi-tasks is a bit generous so Backgrounder is one. But the main reason is so I could use LockInfo or Intelliscreen. I don't like have to go in to my calendar just to see appointments and prefer them at a glance on the lock screen. Seems like such a simple no-brainer thing so I'm not sure why Apple is so resistent to doing it themselves. If they did I might not jailbreak any more.
SBsettings, MyWi, LockInfo big deal for me and my Wife since we share iCal
Two reasons for me:
1. Because I can.
2. LockInfo. That's the one thing that should have been built into iOS from the get-go.
The rest is all a wash for me; I don't tether and I'm not a big "theme" guy. I'd love to have Mobile Terminal working on the iPhone 4, though, cuz I love command-line stuff. :)
JB for many features, mostly MyWi, lockinfo(why should I have to go into my calendar to see it win mobile has had this for a long time and they are irrelevant right now), SBS settings (best way to have quick access to turning wifi on and off, or hide apps I don't want my wife or kids to see, ;)), BiteSMS (I love this for texting, nothing better IMO), AnyRing (love being able to use any song on my phone for rintone or text notifier), 3G restrictor, Mtn Dew battery (fun touch), and many more...
BEWARE SOME EXTENSIONS AND APPS FROM ROCK OR CYDIA MAY CAUSE IPHONE 4'S TO KEEP CRASHINING AND PUTTING TO SAFE MODES! I DOWNLOADED LIVE WEATHER AND THEN IT KEPT RESTARTING AND SAYING IM IN SAFE MODE AND HAD THE SAD IPHONE ON THE LOCK SCREEN SO I UNINSTALLED LIVE WEATHER AND NOW ITS WORKING FINE, IF IT DOESNT DOWNLOAD THE FIRST TIME THEN IT NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED FOR 4.0 ON ALL APPS. ROCK AND CYDIA SHOULD PUSH FOR EVERY DEVELOPER TO UPDATE THEIR APPS FOR 4.0 COMPATIBILITY BY THE END OF THE WEEK.sorry for caps
When I had my 1st gen iPhone I had to JB if I wanted to use it because it wasn't in Canada until 3G and there were no data plans so I could only use it JBen in order to unlock it and also to turn off the 3G. Then when I got my 3G I had become used to using the phone without data, I'm in Wifi 90% of the time. So again I had to JB to turn off 3G but I also got used to having wallpapers, custom SMS ringtones and a few other perks. I'm not a heavy JB user so with my iPhone 4 I don't need a data plan because from the OS I can turn off cell data. I have wallpapers so the only thing I would JB for is to have custom SMS tones. I like having my iPhone 4 in pure form it just feels so nice I'm not sure that is enough of a reason for me to JB it. I'm still considering it but I'm leaning towards not doing it. My GF now has my 3G which is JBen so I'll still maintain that and get my JB high off that phone LOL.
Im not going to jailbreak this time around. iPhone 4 is already capable of multitasking and allowing folders on the springboard. Also, MyWi would have been another reason but my laptop busted so i dont really need it now. Plus, all the problem with MMS and FaceTime just turn me off to the whole jailbreak concept.
Why isn't the browser based jailbreak getting more attention? It shows that iOS allows arbitrary code to be downloaded and run in system-changing ways. People approvingly call it just a jb method, but on any other platform, this would be called what it is - a remote root exploit, or, in plainer terms, a yawning, gaping security hole.
I am all for jb and fully support the rights of anybody to do what they want with the hardware they purchased, but allowing the browser (or a browser-initiated process) to run arbitrary remote code is a flaw as bad as anything the IE team ever released, and this remote flaw is one Apple has to correct yesterday.
3G FaceTime which will come soon, LockInfo, iRealSMS, Tethering, try before you buy (AppSync) - (I should note that I have bought MORE apps because of piracy, because I was able to try them beforehand. Buying them is easier than always waiting for someone to crack new updates. The more the updates, the more I'm incentivized to buy) - Also, need SBSettings, and little hacks here and there that I can't live without. It's a no-brainer to jailbreak.
If I do JB my i4, it will be because I want the app that will give me quick access to my BT settings.
I jailbroke, because I wanted the dB numerical meter, not the bars, but I run pirated software, and the hosts file was messing up my ability to restore my 3GS backup to the i4, but I didn't realize this at the time.
However, I'm glad that I didn't restore from my 3GS backup, as it seems this is what is causing a lot of the proximity issues and the other stuff.
I literally jailbroke, installed SBSettings, changed the graphical to numerical, downloaded the official iOS and chose to Upgrade (not install) and wiped the jailbreak, but kept the numerical meters. Rock on.
Only one real reason to JB for me... tethering without being raped by AT&T, with not only their $20 surcharge for the "privilege" of tethering, but double whammee - capped to 2GB. No thanks. I'll keep my unlimited and now thanks to JB'ing - will tether to my heart's content... my plan is to try and hit 10GB in a month... screw you AT&T!!!!!!!!!!!! mmmwwwwuuuhahahahahaha
I love the way you guys are quite happy to break your T&Cs of your contract with AT&T to get tethering.
I'd laugh my ass off if they kick you off and force you to pay up your contracts...lol
@Mephisto i agree, bet its there fault att had to make changed to there data plan, the jail breakers are that percentage that use 8gig or more a month.
i hope Apple finds a way to block the browser certificat to the jailbreak site and att finds a way to charge these people for tethering
I did so I could turn that blasphemy Apple calls multitasking off. Half of the bugs with the iPhone 4 can be linked right back to those apps never actually closing correctly. Since I've jailbroken my phone and turned that crap off, I can successfully import my photos and videos every single time. No more power cycle needed to import. Yeah, this was the right thing for me.
Mephisto and non-jailbreaker... I pay for unlimited data. I do NOT tether to dl big files/bit torrent etc. I use it so I can work on my files on my laptop and email them as needed. I use it so I can web browse/post on forums, etc. from my laptop when I'm on the road. Yes, there are some that abuse the system, but it's not all of us, and I doubt it's even most of us. Just like most who JB are decent people, so are those of us who tether.
Why did I jailbreak? 'Cos I have missed the ability to add my own sounds, have different themes and most important, I own these gadgets and I will decide what I want to do with them, not Stevie and not Apple. Great work guys ;-)
If I could get Cydia to hit any repo's my reason would be MyWI and biteSMS
For SBSettings and MyWi!
SB Settings and the flashlight app that actually turns brightness all the way up on my 3gs.
I JB'ed for a few reasons.
MyWi so I can have wifi for my non-3g ipad
and 3g unrestrictor
I can't wait for apps like iblacklist and fakelocation to come back!
I did it ...because it was easy. Or so it seemed when I hit "slide to jailbreak." Then all the respositories were jammed up and everything was slow and buggy. I tried to get some game emulators but they didn't work right because of traffic. When they did start working, so much of the Cydia "store" is encrusted with ads and dubious-looking links that I don't want to hang around there.
Is this what Android is like?
I played with SSH and some settings tweaks but I can't shake the feeling that it would be really very easy for someone to steal my passwords or other data.
I am resetting my phone now and will run the (multi-hour, dammit) restore when I get home tonight.
People that brag about vilolating their TOS confuse me. Teathering with unapproved third party apps is stealing, period. I love the excuses and justifications... I already pay for the data and should be able to use it for the iPad, I don't use that much data so its ok. These same people would criticize me for walking into a convenience store and stealing a Mr. Goodbar, such hypocrites. Do contracts and signatures mean anything anymore? You WILL get caught and have to pay backdated data, I guarantee it. And it won't be cheap.
Bitesms. In app texting was supposed to be included in iOS4
Apple has made improvements si Now I jailbreak only to CHANGE the AWEFUL native apple SMS tones and to change SMS bubbles/BG.
I don't understand why apple doesn't realize the amount of people that texts and they won't give such simple options when clearly it can be done. They don't even put an option yo hide keyboard!!!!!!! iPad has it!!!!!!! So annoying that I have to exit text window and re-enter just to read a text!
Julie. You are an idiot. Period. You are an embarrassment to the forum. Please leave.
There is a big difference between stealing a physical product ( with a tangible costs) versus using data.
It's people like you who pay for the same data twice that cause this mess. The companies know that suckers are born every one. You are the sucker of the day. An embaresment to women and iPhone owners!
Your T&Cs state that you can ONLY use your data on the phone, not to tether to another device. This is specifcally against your terms and conditions, it's black and white.
If you don't like it then take your phone back.
YOU'RE the embarrassment, idiots like you who think they're entitled to do what they want.
You pay to use your unlimited data on your phone ONLY, thats stated in yout T&Cs. It's not rocket science, stop trying to justify your breach of these terms...
I jailbroke my iPhone 4 for the same reason that I did my 3G. I did it for Options & Functionality. I just love being able to tweak and add things that Apple is to stubborn to include natively. BiteSMS, 3GUnrestictor, Shink, SBSettings, PDANet, FiveRow/Icon, MultiIconMover, ActionMenuPlus, & Winterboard are just a few packages that just completely changes the way you use your iPhone and makes it so much better.
@Julie1468: You're dumb, why would you not jailbreak and get "FreeTethering" when the same Data that you pay 15 dollars extra to use is no different then the data that you already use w/you default data plan.
Loud noises!!! No... I have some serious questions. Does AT&T have anyway to know that you are tethering other than the increased use in data? Also, is tethering the only thing the breaches the AT&T T&C?
It IS different, you agreed to ONLY use that data on the phone. If you weren't happy with that then why did you agree to sign the contract?
I almost considered not jailbreaking my iPhone 4, but I did. I soon realized how much I was missing. I'll list what I got and why:
Sbsettings - quick toggles for everything. Amazingly useful for battery life and convenience.
3G Unrestrictor - I love having the ability to use my apps wherever I want. I don't feel like being held back by wifi to be able to enjoy them.
MyWi - tethering is sometimes necessary. Home Internet will go out, hotels don't offer wifi, or other devices without cell repection may need it. I don't care what AT&T says in the contract. Sorry, but they've yanked us around long enough to not offer it as part of the service.
ToneFXs - This app is great for having lots of ringtones and shuffle them regardless of who's calling. I don't have to depend on a specific person to call for the ringtone I assigned. Many other sound customizations, but that's my biggie.
@Soeun Status Notifier = Major Fail on iOS 4.0.1
It's always so intriguing for me to see the way Americans get stuck on moral discussions. Here in Europe most people are much less held back by the idea of jailbraking. People here decide te jb for the choice of things like ssh or sbstettings. Tethering is just one of those things. It wouldn't even surprise me if the Dutch CEO from Apple also jb'd his iPhone.
LMBO..You guys have to go through "jailbreaking" a phone and voiding your warranties just to customize? If you have to do this why purchase such I locked down device??? This is what I had to tell myself before I went to the HTC EVO..It just doesn't make sense to purchase a product with my hard earned money that has so many limitations. SMH..I couldn't even choose what kind of keyboard I wanted to use in my Iphone4 Geeze!!!!

This is pathetic that you buy the product then..It appears to me that you would LOOOOOOOVVEEE Android!! May not be as SMOOOOOTHHHH..But you get FREEDOM!!!!!
@Dguidro for "jailbreakers", jailbreaking its just another option to buy apps, warranties last for 1 year only, jailbreaks last forever. We, the one who jailbreaks and choose this devices bought such a locked down device because of the simpler reason, we think its the best choice around, apples programs designs/hardware are high quality, always. For finding what kind of keyboard you want, you just need to read the setting menu for less than a minute.
Apples hardware is not quality. None fact that if you drop the phone from 2 feet unto a hard surface it will shatter costing in the range of 100 bucks to get it fixed. Are you saying that a 5mp camera and a phone that has just now gotten a flash Quality? Apple feeds you guys birdfeed because they know you will buy whatever they sell. The iphone4s will include a 8pm camera with tethering to one device and you guys will buy. Its a game and you are in it..don't be a sucker man!
I jailbroke my iPhone for 3 things specifically. Sbsettings, tethering, and 3G Facetime. However, I never thought that the iPhone had limited functionality. I mean yeah you cant customize it like crazy but isn't that really limitless? In that case every phone is limited or "locked" by their maker. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, maybe Apple hates us all wants us to use their Marimba ringtone forever lol.
Oh, 2 more favorite jailbreak tweaks: Cyntact, and snaptap. Don't know how I got used to not using these for a month.
To everyone that thinks tethering is breaching the contract agreement, Can I have some money? I don't think you'll spend it wisely enough.
But seriously, who cares? I don't think its unethical. I mean come on, how ethical do you think AT&T is being when they charge you $20 a month for texting when it costs them NOTHING? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_messaging) Besides, AT&T wants you to tether, their motto is Rethink Possible ;P
Intelliscreen. That's it, really.
Who cares if you use feathering for free. Att are thieves just like banks. All they want is your money. To justify not using all the data in the phone why can't you use the extra data on your computer? I have the unlimited plan still since I've had it since the first day so I don't see the problem.just because they now offer feathering doesn't mean anything. They should have had since day 1 and nit for jailbreak users.
Hi, ibought one Iphone 4 from http://www.trade-whole.com/apple-iphone-4-black-16gb-unlocked-mc603ba-gs... in competitive price, it bring me a lot of convenient, i like it very much.
OMG Creating a WiFi hotspot without paying 20$ a month for AT&T's outrageous tethering fee. A Flat fee for the program pays for itself within 2 months. Utilizing My3G makes Facetime actually usable anywhere! I can now watch Hi Def YouTube videos on 3G network now! This is to name a few... The jailbreak actually makes the phone utilize its full potential!

As for the topic at hand, I jailbreak for customizable SMS tones and better multitasking. I love my iPhone 4 but it's multitasking feature isn't really multitasking at all. When I put an internet radio app in the background, it should keep playing (Shoutcast, for example). However, it turns it off. But, with Backgrounder on a JB iPhone, the radio continues to play. Annnnnnnd I can decide what programs are backgrounded and which aren't.
Apple is getting better but is still a ways away from giving us a customizable device right out of the box.
LOLOLOLOL! Jailbroken iPhone 4 > everything else, droids, nokias, htcs, palms, hahahaha, you are only fooling yourself if you think that because the x has an 8mp camera and u can "customize" it without modifying it like the iphone 4, haha. It is only a phone so this whole online back and forth baby battle between phones is pretty lame, but who cares if it takes a few minutes to jailbreak, the software won't fail and apple doesn't cover cracked screens so who give a _____ about a warranty, I've had all 4 iphones and never needed warranty help, other than a display issue which they replaced even though it was jailbroke, I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 and I have the best phone in the world, if you think I'm wrong, you obviously don't have one!
I've had the 3g, the 3gs, and now the Iphone 4. I've never Jailbroken one of them, but i'm seriously considering it because of this article:
Ok first of all how stupid can you be, why in the beep would I pay almost 130 bucks a year and not get full capabilities. JAILBREAK JAILBREAK JAILBREAK!!! Do IT and you will open so many capabilities, just lists and lists and list, for crying out loud iphone does anything and everything you could imagine once JBd. Why do so many people criticize the iphone well its cause theyre jealous. Instead of making stupid comments go ahead and try out a JBd iphone and you will see what I mean, it totally makes every other phone look bad.
Ive done alot of research on jailbreaking the iphone 4. My main concern is like most people about the whole warranty issue. Now if ive read correctly if you do jailbreak it and need to send it in for whatever reason you should have backed it up before and restore the factory setting before sending it in. That would make sense to me. Does that sound right?
Because I get apps for free. AT&T is expensive as shit an apps for there product should be free. Apple needs to give something back to the loyal following that they have.
