Well i use a Pearl 8130 and a Curve 8900 and the fast scroll works on both ... i just wanted to ask u what u meant when u said ,
"Curve 8900 which just got upgraded to 220.127.116.11"
thanks a lot
I received an email the other day from one of our readers/podcast listeners (thanks Chris!) that brought up a good tip that some of you may not be aware of and also raised a valid question/concern:
Have you noticed that on the Curve 8900 and Curve 8520 holding alt + scrolling left or right scrolls all the way the left or right of the text. Example: when your typing a email or text, once you get a few lines down hold alt and scroll left to right or up and down. I've noticed this doesn't work on the Bold, but I've tried it on the 8900 and 8520.
Being able to fast scroll when reading/composing by holding Alt is definitely a great feature for trackball/trackpad BlackBerry smartphones, but as Chris points out there does seem to be at least some inconsistency as to what devices/os versions offer this feature. For example, it's working flawlessly on my Tour, on some older devices doesn't appear to want to work at all, and on my Curve 8900 (which I just upgraded to 188.8.131.52), I can fast scroll when composing but not while reading emails. So the question is, does it work for you?! I'd assume it's a gimme of a function and should always work, so I'm not quite sure why it wouldn't in some situations. Try holding down alt while scrolling on a message with a lot of text to see if your cursor makes the big jump.
Well i use a Pearl 8130 and a Curve 8900 and the fast scroll works on both ... i just wanted to ask u what u meant when u said ,
"Curve 8900 which just got upgraded to 22.214.171.124"
thanks a lot
It works both going left and right. also it scrolls up and down by skipping three or four lines making it faster to scroll, but you can also use the space bar and the letter "t" for top
doesn't appear to work on 184.108.40.2067
left to right is the bigger thing here for me vs. top/bottom... key use for me is if i make a type at the beginning of a sentence and want to go back and fix it when i'm now at the end of the line on the right, the alt scroll left jumps you back quick (vs. the slow scroll).
i don't think it works on my bold's 18.104.22.1682
my bad, i just reread the post and it said that it didn't work on the bold! haha
Javelin 18.104.22.168
During composing email:
alt + scroll right -> go to the end of line that I'm writing
alt + scroll left -> go to the start of line that I'm writing
alt + scroll up -> scroll up a variabale number of line (I haven't identified a precise logic)
alt + scroll down -> scroll down a variabale number of line (I haven't identified a precise logic)
Thanks for the tip. It works well on my tour also. I use to scroll for days trying to get through the text. Again thanks.
I have a Tour and this function has been a hindrance more than anything. If you compose a long email and see that you have a typo 4 sentences above and in the middle of the sentence, it is extremely hard to maneuver your cursor back to that exact location. On my 8830, you could scroll back to the line, hold the ALT key and the cursor would remain fixed on that line and you could move from left to right one letter at a time. With my Tour, the cursor jumps to the beginning or end of the sentence. If you release the ALT key and try to scroll from left to right, your cursor jumps all over the damn place.
I have had to take it to the Verizon store to show a tech person because most people had no idea what I meant when I first described it. I also called Verizon technical support and they said that they have had many complaints about this but he doesn't know if they are including a fix in the update.
It makes composing longer emails a pain in the ass!!!
shift+left or right this will select (highlight)
It's tips like this that make me love crackberry.com. I get completely annoyed when I have to scroll all the way back to the being of something and it takes forever or I can never scroll the way I want. This has made my very boring Wednesday. Thank you very much
BUT it does freeze my screen on my Tour. Battery pull time. Thanks for nothing!
This only works on my Tour for messages I'm composing. Seems to have no effect (i.e., acts the same as if I'm not holding down the [alt] button) for messages I'm reading. Am I doing something wrong? I thought I saw another comment from a Tour user who said it works for both.
how awesome is this
thanks so much
Didn't work on mine, current OS as of 8/26
The other thing this tip is great for is long lists. For example bartender pro is something I just purchased here (great program) but some of the lists are really long especially because you can't just hit a letter to jump down. Alt-scroll makes it a lot less painful to get from page to page of a long list.
(edit: I have an 8900 btw)
Doesn't work on my Tour.
Well well, I must say once I read this , I immediately tried it and it does jump across the screend. thanks for the advice!
keep them coming :)
I have a blackberry tour by the way :)
I've got a Curve 8330 on Sprint and this tip doesn't work for me. But space (1pg down) & cap+space (1pg up) works for me. I also use "t" (top) and "b" (bottom) alot. But very annoyed that this tip doesnt' work since I tend to have to scroll r/l 1-char at a time! Well, at least I still got one great new tip from this article - Thanks!

Click Here to Watch Glee Season 4 Episode 12 Naked Online Free
Click Here to Watch Glee Season 4 Episode 12 Naked Online Free
We been in love to all the glee character for their unique role and Glee Season 4 Episode 12 some to their talents and now because the glee originals are getting more facing the world this season they need the new character that will continue the new direction to the lead champion,
Glee Season 4 Episode 12 At the previous episode of Glee last year we are happy and glad that all the new generation gather for the spirit of Christmas and we touch our heart to see them perform in one stage like just an old time. Which Sue reflects on the holiday season, imagining it as a setting for a series of plot lines sandwiched between commercials breaks, much like the movie "Love, Actually" - "which is a movie that I don't think anyone cares for but is constantly on cable."
Watch Glee Season 4 Episode 15, That the Mckinley's Sadie Hawkins will dance on the stage who had a huge surprises in also it means that all the girls will ask out the Glee Season 4 Episode 12 boys to dance in the floor in once again Blaine will the victim of the gay bashing in the school outside before Dolton it was. In top all the sugar fans this episode will Sugar appeared on this episode after she left out. I know been excited to this installment so, I hope you will not miss this episode.
Episode Name:
Air date:
The glee club puts together a calendar photo shoot to raise money as they head into Regionals. Meanwhile, Rachel wins a part in a student art film, but the role poses a moral dilemma.
Glee season 4 continues this week with episode 12, "Naked," and while Rachel's going to have a decision to make about a role in New York, the guys at McKinley are going to be stripping down for a calendar photo shoot.
The first sneak peek shows the full performance of Rachel singing "Torn," and that's exactly how she's feeling regarding this role, which brings up a moral dilemma and would have her topless. Lea Michele is perfect here as Rachel is "torn" between the old her and the new her. The last episode showed just how much New York is changing Rachel, and if you've missed seeing the old Rachel, well, here's your chance.
In the second Glee season 4 episode 12 clip, Figgins brings Sam and Brittany into his office because they've received the highest and lowest SAT scores ever recorded at McKinley—and it's Brittany who got a near perfect 2340. "Clearly she cheated," Figgins says. Ouch. Apparently Brittany really lucked out that the way she filled out the answer sheet resulted in that score. Sam, on the other hand, got a 340. Brittany does try to comfort him: "Don't worry. You don't need to go to college like the rest of us. You have a really great body. You could be a personal trainer. You could be a greeter at Abercrombie. You could be a greeter at Abercrombie's corporate headquarters. Whatever you want to do." That really doesn't help, and it also doesn't help that Brittany doesn't even know the names of the colleges she thinks she could go to now. Are they going to find out something that changes this situation?
The third "Naked" sneak peek shows that the New Directions are back to competing and have to get ready for Regionals, which includes raising money. After a couple of ridiculous suggestions, Tina comes up with an idea: the Men of McKinley Calendar. Each guy takes two months, and Tina already has an idea for Blaine. Oh, Tina. This isn't going to end well for her.

A Reminder: Video and Camera Policy
It's May! It's May! The busy month of May!
Dear Parents,
This month begins and ends with important events and is filled with even more events in between! From Senior projects to May Faire dances, from Pentathlon races to Spring concerts, our rich cultural life at Merriconeag seems to reach a dizzying pace in May. All of these celebrations culminate in the activities of the last week of school…dinners, picnics, Roses and Sashes, Alumni Breakfast and 12th Grade Graduation.
Of course, all of these special occasions are also rare photo opportunities. We all have family who can't make it to a play or a Festival, and we all want to document these events for the future. Unfortunately, with the rise of the smart phones and compact video equipment, the issues that arise for our teachers and families are more complex and more intrusive.
Merriconeag's video and camera policy states, "We ask that no unauthorized photographs or videos be taken during play performances or assemblies. Photos and videos during a performance can distract audience members as well as the cast. At the teacher's discretion, photographs may be taken after the event or at a dress rehearsal. Our high school students are offered a yearbook elective each year. The culmination of their work is the annual all school yearbook. These students will have approval to take a few discreet photos at various events throughout the year."
In addition to the policy stated above, we often make arrangements through our Public Relations office to photograph or video plays and events that can be edited for outreach purposes and are then shared with parents through our Tuesday News or website. We will make every effort to announce when professional recording of an event takes place.
We ask all parents to respect the policy stated above, and refrain from using their own recording devices at events. This insures that parents who have not agreed to have their children photographed will have their privacy protected, and the quality and experience of those on stage and off is not compromised. For outdoor events, such as the May Faire and the Pentathlon, we ask you to be discreet and only take pictures of family members. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please do not hesitate to contact me. Your support and sensitivity for the school's policy is greatly appreciated. Christine Sloan

Once the brick is laid, we shall begin the task of creating a varied, sensory oriented pathway to the center. Again, this is your chance to make your mark in the labyrinth. Keep watching this post and the field for developments. Lynn Thurrell and the Eighth Grade

After exploring several career options, Abby Reilly plans to attend graduate school toward work in higher education for student services.
But first, she is going to work in that field for the next year at USC Aiken serving as an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer.
My role is going to be the development of an infrastructure for community service, said the May graduate from the University of South Carolina. Im going to delegate and inspire students to take part in service-type programs.
According to its website, AmeriCorps was founded in 1994. Over the past 20 years, more than 800,000 member volunteers have participated in a wide range of service efforts throughout the nation.
VISTA actually dates back to 1965 as Volunteers in Service to America. Again, the website described VISTA as that time as a national service program to fight poverty in America. President John F. Kennedy created the concept, which led to Head Start and other initiatives. The program merged with AmeriCorps when that organization was created.
USCA is now one of 17 South Carolina college campuses participating in the AmeriCorps program. The university selected its own service-oriented project.
Reilly is working specifically for USCA for the next 12 months. However, she will collaborate with service agencies throughout the community.
We wanted to increase the number of students in community service, Dr. Deb Kladivko, vice chancellor for student life and services, said. Abby will help us expand those opportunities.
The ambitious project will not be just where you go, Reilly said. Well have a volunteer training program with partnerships so that students can get experiences with other agencies.
A native of the small town of Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, Reilly moved to Mt. Pleasant as a teenager, graduating from Wando High School. She originally enrolled at USC with plans to major in experimental psychology and counselor education. Reilly then considered marine science and photography.
Then she found how much she enjoyed being a resident mentor on campus. Reilly found value in the counseling aspect and student interaction.
I was also heavily involved in promoting community service, she said. We went to New Orleans and did service programs in South Carolina during spring breaks. In the summer of 2013, I went to Kenya on my own to serve at orphanages.
Reilly will participate in a transition process with USCA administrators over the next year, which will require final approval from AmeriCorps officials. When she leaves USCA a year from now, a structure will be in place that students can organize much on their own.
Senior writer Rob Novit is the Aiken Standards education reporter and has been with the newspaper since September 2001. He is a native of Walterboro and majored in journalism at the University of Georgia.

An Experiment: Using Walmart's New Price Match Policy
In a world tipped in the favor of retailers and manufacturers due to the recent uptick in media attention on consumer dishonesty and fraud, Walmart has chosen to not only simplify its price matching policy, but to choose to trust consumers on their word with their new price match policy.

Facebook numbers point to low sales for Microsoft's new operating system.
Windows Phone 7 doesn't appear to be having the speedy start that so many had predicted. Phones packing in the smart and sleek OS hit a mere 40,000 on their first day on US shelves according to one report. And now new data suggests that number now sits at a measly 117,000.
The figures are taken from Facebook stats, which calculate the number of punters using Windows Phone 7's on-board Facebook app. With just 117, 256 people hopping onto the social network, things aren't looking too rosy for Microsoft.
Of those, 83,646 accessed Facebook on Windows Phone 7 using the Facebook app available in Marketplace. The remaining customers opted to use the Facebook skills baked into the device.
Facebook acts as a good indicator of user numbers because of its huge popularity and high install base. And of course, there's a chance there are more phones packing Windows Phone 7 out there. However, these figures will hardly make happy reading for the Big M at a time when Android and iOS remain rampant and webOS is resurgent.
Have you bought a Windows Phone? Tell us what you think of these figures on our Facebook and Twitter pages now.

SELinux Compatibility
I'm told by the Fedora people that NVIDIA drivers
I've used different flavors of Linux: Red Hat (back in the day before Fedora existed), earlier versions of Fedora (thru ver 5.), Ubuntu, and openSUSE, and I've never had a problem installing NVIDIA drivers for my GEForce 7200 GS card (or any other NVIDIA card I've ever had) on any of these previous releases and flavors of Linux (although openSUSE has special RPM builds of your drivers) until I recently decided to give Fedora 12 a whirl and that led to the post on the Fedora forums linked above.
So I wanted to ask NVIDIA what their position is on SELinux (and Fedora's Nouveau project) and what you all are doing to make your drivers play well with it?
Re: SELinux Compatibility
Fedora 12 and SELinux has not problems with the Nvidia Driver, its a rpmfusion thing. The Installer and Driver from nvidia.com works flawless as expected. All you have to do is to deactivate Nouveau by adding a command to the Kernel line in your grub.conf (nouveau.modeset=0).
Re: SELinux Compatibility
So if anyone at nVIDIA happens upon this thread please chime in.
You just can't believe everything you hear anymore! :nono:

Stuff's supposed to happen today. It's draft day. All the teams' general managers in the same building for hours on end, something's bound to happen. Something crazy might even go down, like a Stanley Cup contender that came close recently could trade away its two best centers.
It's unlikely that Sedin and Kesler will be going anywhere, though. Mike Gillis said at the NHL Awards show: "We're very happy with the group we have, we're gonna try and keep as many of them as we possibly can."
That makes sense. The Canucks won 15 playoff games last season. When your team comes that close to winning the Cup, you try to keep as many things the same as possible. Maybe they'll get one or two more bounces next time around, and that'll put them over the edge. Who knows?
The off-season plan seems pretty clear-cut this time around, anyway. The pieces that are likely to stay are the top six, the goaltending tandem, and the top four defensemen. Potentially replaceable are the bottom six forwards (excluding Malhotra) and the bottom defensive pairing. Gillis specifically said he was going after good character guys who want to play in Vancouver.
Of the Canucks' RFAs, Jannik Hansen is most likely to stick around. Lapierre has probably earned his stay as well, leaving three bottom-six roles to be filled. Chris Higgins, Raffi Torres and Tanner Glass could all return, but none of them are guarantees, or are necessary. If Gillis looks to fill the roles elsewhere, don't expect him to make a trade. He said he was looking for players who wanted to play for Vancouver, which likely means the free agent market.
While there's not a lot wrong with the Canucks, one of the postseason's themes seemed to be the Canucks' penchant for running into crazy-good goaltending. Corey Crawford, Pekka Rinne and Tim Thomas all shut down the Canucks' offense for large portions of their respective series. When a team runs into a wall in net in three series out of four, it might be nice to look at getting more in the way of net presence — big, tough guys who can play a checking game but can slot into the top six or the power play if the offense isn't clicking. Zdeno Chara didn't have any trouble moving Burrows or Kesler.
Gillis got a bargain with Raffi Torres and his contract, and the crop of bottom-six guys on the market this off-season looks intriguing to say the least. If the Canucks are looking for a big net presence option, they've already seen what Joel Ward can do. It seems unlikely that Sean Bergenheim will be a free agent come July 1st, but if he is, it'd be nice to add a player who's been proven to score in the playoffs from a depth role. Ville Leino isn't exactly a tough guy, but he's another great playoff scorer who's less than a week away from being on the free market.
If Gillis is looking for more dedicated checkers, both Rob Niedermayer and John Madden have Cup rings and are due to become free agents on July 1st. Both made less than 1.2 million last season. Niedermayer is particularly interesting, given his history of scoring in the playoffs, and declining PIM totals throughout his career since the lockout.
Still, one of the most interesting names out there is Brendan Morrison, who showed last season that he can still play and be an effective asset. He's a great character guy, and someone who wants to play in Vancouver. Last season he was cut from camp in favor of the now-retired Peter Shaefer. Two seasons ago, Manny Malhotra practiced with the Canucks before signing with the Sharks. Gillis had no problem going out and nabbing Malhotra the next season. Would he be willing to grab Morrison as well?
Either way, the Canucks have the ability to keep their core together and make another deep run. One of the upsides to such a deep run in the playoffs is there's very little sitting around waiting for July 1st to come along. It's a week from today. Nothing stops you from moping about last season like seeing fresh new faces signing contracts with your team.
Lindsay versus Hart
I hear lots of Canucks fans talking on twitter and the forums about how the Ted Lindsay is the real award, because it's voted on by the players, not the media. I've got news for those fans:
They're both real awards.
I have to wonder, though, how many of these voices were trash-talking Alexander Ovechkin when he implied that he cared more about the Lindsay than the Hart after winning the former while Henrik Sedin won the latter. It seems that Canuck nation has a very short memory.
Really, neither award is definitively better. Yeah, the players vote for the Lindsay, but how often do Eastern Conference players play against the Sedins? Exactly as often as the Western Conference players play against Stamkos. The players aren't watching every game or commenting on everyone's season throughout the year the way the media are. That said, several members of the media seem to have no idea what they're talking about. Some hardly watch the games on which they report (not mentioning any names).
Want to know what the best awards are in the NHL? The ones that no one votes on, that are decided purely by performance on the ice. The Art Ross goes to whoever scored the most, the Jennings goes to whoever allowed the fewest goals, and the President's Trophy goes to whoever has the best record. When we ignore all the talking points and foolishness, the Canucks took home the awards that can be won by performance, rather than election.
I know everyone does it. I know that it occasionally draws penalties. I know that the Canucks' diving was blown out of proportion.
Still, it's embarrassing. The Canucks might not do it more than other teams, but it's still cheating and it doesn't make them friends. The Canucks couldn't seem to get the calls to go their way during the Final, and perhaps their reputation as a team of divers fed into that. It was great to see the Canucks play whistle to whistle all season. That happened because Mike Gillis made it clear — you participate in shenanigans, you sit a game. It'd be nice for him to do the same thing with regards to diving.
I can already hear people complaining that diving isn't even a big thing with the Canucks. That's great, and I agree. I'd prefer if it weren't a thing at all, though. It doesn't draw many penalties, and for every penalty it does, it makes an enemy in a referee. The Canucks don't dive nearly as much as they've been accused, but they do dive, and it'd be nice if they stopped.
Fire Everyone!
After hearing a week of suggestions from Canucks fans on forums, I've concluded that everyone is correct: Alain Vigneault is clearly responsible for the loss in the Finals and should be fired. Also, Luongo clearly doesn't have the heart to win the Cup. He's just not emotionally stable enough to deal with the rigors. He should be traded. The Sedins are clearly fair-weather players who can't score when the opposition decides to make things tough for them. We should get something for them while they still command a price. Burrows's antics cost us the respect of the referees, and the Canucks probably can't win with him still on the team. Aaron Rome changed the momentum of the whole series with his hit on Horton, and he should be removed from the team by trade or waivers or being burned at the stake. He's not worse than Keith Ballard, though, who was completely invisible through most of the playoffs. In Game 7, I didn't even notice him on the ice. He has to go. And if Ryan Kesler is going to insist on taking up a roster spot while he's too injured to skate, he'll have to do it on another team.
This is known as the "Paul Holmgren" approach.
For the record, with all this blaming going on, I'm surprised no one pointed out what an awful Game 7 Christian Ehrhoff had. He just couldn't receive a pass at the blueline, and single-handedly killed the Canucks' momentum several times while the game was still well-within reach. I'm not saying he shouldn't be re-signed, though.
When your team makes it to Game 7 of the Cup Finals, you don't look for people to fire. You start handing out contract extensions.

"Want to know what the best awards are in the NHL? The ones that no one votes on, that are decided purely by performance on the ice. The Art Ross…"
…And thus Henrik proves his superiority by having the better award then his brother, for he his Art Ross has 8 more points then Daniels.
Oh, it's completely true. But unlike Qris and Harrison, I'm totally going to name names. For instance, OW! Dang, there's a pencil sticking out of my arm. In order for it to stick in like that it would have had to be shot at a high velocity from some sort of OW! Dammit, there's another one… What the heckkkkkkkkkkkk AFFFFFFVjnix
I would agree. Brendan would be a stop gap measure, he's likely pissed, and he isn't big enough to move players out of the way. While I would love to see him again the Canucks have a need that he isn't quite able to fill. If you had said Bertuzzi, now ur talkin. Or someone just like Bert who isn't Bert.

Merry Montgomerie turns over new leaf on Champions Tour
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Colin Montgomerie apparently will summon his inner Rocco Mediate when he makes his Champions Tour debut Thursday at Fox Chapel Golf Club.
Montgomerie has had a prickly relationship with golf fans, particularly American ones, during his Hall of Fame career. But the Scot plans to showcase a less intense side when he tees it up at the Constellation Senior Players Championship.
"I think that my personality will show through on the (Champions Tour) as opposed to trying to win a major on the PGA Tour," said Montgomerie, who turns 50 on Sunday. "I really look forward to playing a role with the crowd, getting involved with the crowd and involving them in the game."
Montgomerie and Mediate, a Greensburg native, are two of the most celebrated newcomers on the Champions Tour this season. Each has embraced the golfing opportunity that comes with turning 50, and the latest chapter in Montgomerie's complicated career will give him a chance to buff his image.
All he has to do is look at Mediate if he wants to connect with fans — and look like he is having fun rather than a colonoscopy on the golf course.
Mediate has long chatted up fans and competitors, and his personality shined through five years ago when he stood up to Tiger Woods on one of golf's biggest stages.
Mediate nearly beat Woods in the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, and the two provided compelling theater on prime-time TV. Woods needed 19 extra holes to finally vanquish Mediate, who made it through a sectional qualifier just to get into the tournament. Mediate basked in the moment instead of wilting, as so many used to do when encountering Woods near the top of the leaderboard in a major, and that only further endeared him to fans.
"He wears his emotions on his sleeves," Steve Stricker said of Mediate. "He's always been just a classy guy, fun to be around and easy to play with, so I think that's why everyone likes him."
Montgomerie, by contrast, won't win any popularity contests. He has tangled with fans and fellow competitors alike, and a recent SI.com story chronicling the best-ever golf feuds had Montgomerie at No. 14.
His sparring partners? Everyone.
Montgomerie is still one of the most outspoken players on any tour, and he said his contentious relationship with fans can be traced to his challenging Greg Norman for top player in the world in the pre-Woods era.
"When I got to No. 2 in the world to Greg Norman, I was quite a threat," Montgomerie said. "Therefore I was a target."
The image of a dour, snarling Monty, however, is at odds with the player who took time while playing in the BMW International Open in Germany last week to answer questions via conference call.
Montgomerie provided insightful answers and seemed generally appreciative of the opportunity to play on the Champions Tour — and win a major championship, the one thing that has eluded him during his decorated career.
The player who fans derisively called "Mrs. Doubtfire," after a portly nanny portrayed by Robin Williams in a 1993 movie, showed a self-deprecating side as well. When talking about how good the Champions Tour is due to how much healthier players are, Montgomerie said, "Well, I never really have been fit, but I am as fit as I've ever been."
Montgomerie said he is "under no illusion" that he will win big immediately on the Champions Tour because of how competitive it is.
Mediate can attest to that.
He won his first start on the circuit in February but still is looking for his second victory. Mediate also has tied for 20th and 36th, respectively, in his first two majors on the tour.
"It's a joke how many good guys and good players there are out there to hang with," Mediate said. "The players want this tour to stay healthy, and it should be healthy because of all the legends that are out there."

IBEROSTAR Rose Hall Beach
Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Rose Hall Beach
Patricio Escobar says: 10 months
My only concern is the Iberostar website is a bit hard to navigate. It was hard to get a straight answer as to where the waterpark was (beaches rose hall, suites, or grande). We found out too late that it was at the suites and not at the beaches rose hall
"Hotel was great! Plenty to do, good atmosphere. Beach was beautiful. We got upgraded to oceanview and that was greatly appreciated. As vegetarians with a toddler and infant, the variety of food was very good (the best we've had at any resort in Jamaica, including the RIU). The staff was very accommodating and friendly. "Rating: 8,0
Kevin And Francine says: 10 months
Our overall inpression of the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach was execellent. This is a resort that we will continue to return to.
"This was an fantastic vacation!! The staff surpassed our expectations on a daily basis, from the moment we checked in until the time we had to leave. The food was excellent at all of the four dinning options. Entertainment was great and made us continuously laugh!! The resort amenities, accommodations, and the property are very pleasing. We will be back for a third time."Rating: 10,0
Rebecca says: 10 months
We had a good stay.
"We enjoyed our stay at the resort. Room is musty so that takes some time to get used to, needs freshened up. Beach service for drinks is not very good. There is only one girl that is on the ball so to say. Another one just goes around singing and not doing much. Restaurants are good and clean. Beach is small but nice."Rating: 8,0

Whats the payment?
The first time I ever heard that question was in South Carolina, as I was telling a friend about a car I had purchased.
I thought it was an odd question, although I have heard it many times since then. Its an odd question because the monthly payment tells you little about the cost.
A monthly payment on a loan might be low because of a lengthy loan term, or a low interest rate, or because there was a large down payment. A monthly payment might be high because a larger amount of a purchase was financed, or the loan term is shorter, or the interest rate is high.
The important question is: What will the car, or the house, or the new roof or whatever actually cost when you add up the payments?
A five-year car loan with a 3 percent interest rate would have lower monthly payments than a four-year loan with no interest, for example, but would cost the buyer more overall.
When people buy something expensive and durable, they often finance the purchase with a loan, and of course they would want to make sure the payments are affordable.
But affordable payments sometimes can mask the true cost or, worse yet, obscure unreasonable interest charges.
The challenge for savvy consumers is to sort through all the ways that sellers might attempt to make purchases seem less expensive.
Take, for example, an actual mortgage loan I reviewed last month with a Charleston-area couple who were struggling with their payments and trying to refinance.
This couple had borrowed just under $145,000 for the primary mortgage on their new home, back during the housing bubble. Seems they did not really understand the terms, and had been steered into whats now known as a toxic mortgage by a broker working on commission.
So, what was the payment?
Well, the payment was initially $1,172 a month, rising to $1,612 after two years because the loan rate adjusted twice before becoming a fixed-rate loan.
But thats not the point. This was a 40-year loan with 30 years of monthly payments and a balloon payment at the end, with an interest rate roughly double the going rate for people with good credit nearly 13 percent in annual terms.
Heres what that means: Forget about the payment. During the first five years of the loan this couple could have made every payment on time, and they would have paid off just over $1,000 of the balance, with more than $84,000 being paid in interest.
The monthly payment masked the high interest rate, and the fact that the loan was structured so that they had little hope of gaining home equity.
If they made all of the payments for 30 years, there would be a balloon payment of about $105,000 waiting for them at the end. All but about $40,000 of their payments for three decades would have been for interest.
So, it mattered not at all what the monthly payment was. What mattered was, they got into a truly horrible loan product by focusing on the monthly cost and taking the advice of people who stood to profit from the deal.
I expect to be writing more about their situation, which is a cautionary tale for anyone financing a home, or even a vehicle. Always make sure you know the true cost of financing, particularly the annual percentage rate of any interest charges, and the total value of all payments.
Otherwise, you can get into a situation that many people face with credit cards; making low monthly payments but paying high rates of interest over long periods of time.
With all of the loan refinancing going on right now, due to record-low interest rates on car and home loans, its also important to understand how loan terms and interest rates work together.
Just last weekend, I was talking with a relative about one of her friends who has refinanced a mortgage multiple times at progressively lower interest rates.
The problem was, while this serial refinancer was focused on how the payments kept dropping each time the mortgage was reworked, she was refinancing into new 30-year loans each time. That meant the borrower was extending the term of the loan, which raises total interest payments, at the same time the interest rate on the loan was being lowered.
The cost of any long-term loan is a combination of both the term the longer the term, the more interest you pay and the interest rate.

75 acres burn in Deltona; Volusia County on high alert
Three families evacuated Sunday
By Al Everson
posted Jan 16, 2012 - 2:15:46pm
Deltona firefighters are keeping a close watch on a patch of charred wilderness from which three families were evacuated Sunday afternoon.
"About 1 o'clock, I got a call in Oviedo. It was my daughter, and she said a cop came to the door and told them to leave," said Earl Morgan, as he and his neighbors waited for authorities to give them an all-clear to drive down a rugged dirt trail to their homes. "I saw the column of smoke on the Lake Jessup Bridge. That's how big it was."
Morgan added he was leaving a church in Oviedo when he got the call.
"Thank God for the Fire Department," he said.
While en route to Deltona, he alerted a neighbor via cell phone.
"Earl called me and told me they were evacuating. I was an hour away at the hunt club," said Jerry Flynn, who also wondered if his home would still be standing. "I could see the column of smoke in Orlando, all the way from there. Our houses were in harm's way."
"I have been hunting for three days, and I just want to get back home," he continued.
The fire scorched an estimated 75 acres east of Deltona City Hall. The homes are along a rough trail accessible only by heavy-duty vehicles or on foot. The trees, weeds and grass have become tinder dry because of a lack of rainfall and the cold snaps that brought frost over much of the Sunshine State.
"The lake bottom is switch grass. What used to be water is now fuel," said Flynn, referring to what is in the rear of his secluded acreage.
"I think you're going to find that this was started by somebody back there," he added, noting some of the burned area has been used as a Boy Scout campground.
As he passed by Morgan and Flynn on his way out of the fire zone before sundown, Deltona Deputy Fire Chief Robert Rogers said the cause of the blaze has not yet been determined.
Nevertheless, Deltona firefighters, aided by their counterparts from Orange City and Volusia County Fire Services and personnel from the Florida Division of Forestry, contained and extinguished the flames. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office's Air One helicopter monitored the fire from overhead. Flynn said the firefighters acted none too quickly.
"It [the fire] was about 50 yards from our homes," he said. "We want to definitely thank the Fire Department and the Division of Forestry."
An avid outdoorsman, Flynn is also a professional alligator trapper for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. He said the fire "moves wildlife around," as animals try to get away from the flames approaching their own homes.
"I could wake up tomorrow morning and find a rattlesnake in my yard," he added.
While firefighters were busy putting out the Deltona blaze, others of their number were also busy with wildfires elsewhere in Volusia County, especially near New Smyrna Beach.
Unless rain comes often and in sufficient amounts, the wildfire danger will only worsen. Central Florida is now in the middle of its usual dry season, which began in mid-October and ends in late May or early June.

Driving along Lytton Rd after working an overtime shift one Saturday at the Ampol Oil Refinery on Lytton Island, Tom Burns was in his work van at the traffic lights near the Colmslie Hotel.
He was an electrician and I thought he must have been working overtime, I saw him the next S'day at the same place, he looked kinda stressed to see me at the same lights on consecutive Saturdays, he did not look like he had been at work.
Still working overtime shifts, the lights were green the next Saturday when I drove thru, TB was in his work van on the Wynnum Rd side - he looked like he had committed a crime - hollow cheeked and wide eyed, that night on the evening news, was a report that a thirteen yo girl had been brutally raped at Lota an adjoining suburb!
Shortly thereafter Tom Burns was endorsed by the Australian Labor Party, as Member for Lytton in the Queensland Parliament.
From Left: Beattie, Burns, Leslie Smith
1982 Leslie Smith then President of the Queensland Branch of the P&D's Union, said Peter Beattie then Qld Secretary of the Australian Labor Party, was blackmailing him, under the terms of which he had committed murder.
It could be that the murder Smith says he carried out at the discretion of Peter Beattie, was the same young woman who Burns raped in 1972 or thereabouts, at Lota.
Keith Wright later Member for Capricornia, and like Burns a former Leader in the Queensland Parliament, had got twelve years for a similar crime against a twelve yo girl, maybe the girl from Lota was "making noises!"

As if Charlie Crist didn't have enough problems, along comes this story about the Florida state Republican Party, which until recently was headed by Crist's close confidante Jim Greer:
Donors and party activists are livid over newly revealed records that suggest outgoing chairman Jim Greer used the party as a personal slush fund for lavish travel and entertainment. The records also show that executive director Delmar Johnson padded his $103,000 salary with a secret, $260,000 fundraising contract and another $42,000 for expenses — at the same time the once mighty Florida GOP was having to lay off employees amid anemic fundraising. . . .
Greer has long been known as a flamboyant chairman who enjoyed entourages, charter jets and belting out Elvis at party galas. But even the biggest critics of Gov. Charlie Crist's hand-picked chairman were stunned by revelations that he entered into a lucrative secret contract with a stealth company set up by his most loyal aide de camp, 30-year-old [GOP executive director Delmar] Johnson, a former Crist campaign aide. The contract would pay Johnson a 10 percent commission on all major donations to the state Republican Party.
This will likely become yet another source of angst for Crist, as party activists and ordinary voters question what he knew about his chairman's activities and how this reflects on his judgment. ("Crist has said he didn't know about Johnson's contract, but some activists aren't satisfied. Crist is the de facto head of the party and its biggest fundraiser.") It seems as though Marco Rubio's outsiderness is proving again to be an advantage. For now Rubio is taking a restrained line, calling for an audit "looking at how expenditures have been made in the past and make sure that going forward people are confident when they give money to the Republican party, it's going toward good things." Sometimes it is best simply to get out of the way while your opponent is drowning.

Zappos Logs Record Service Call
By editor
Good morning. I'm David Greene. So it begins: the yearly ritual of waiting to return holiday gifts - in stores, online, on the phone. Let's hope it doesn't take as long as a recent call to Zappos.com. It lasted over 10 hours and it wasn't all about the shoes. For one thing, the customer on the line wanted to know how the Zappos employee likes living in Las Vegas. Zappos commended its employee's customer service. The conversation even ended with a sale of Uggs boots. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Oct. 2, 2009
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- Our preseason is winding down and the start of the season is just around the corner. We are all extremely excited and anxious to get playing. We had a really good week of practices and conditioning workouts. Each day we are picking up some new concepts and everything is coming together, it is fun to see. We ran a court circuit on Wednesday and competed against each other. Our team is definitely not lacking in competitiveness this year! It is fun to see everyone pushing each other and giving a little bit more because we want to win.
Each year during the last week of preseason, we have a tradition that the seniors don't have to participate in the last Friday workout. It is their reward for the hard work they put in over the last four years. That means that this past Friday was the last Friday running day for Eileen, Val, Georonika and I. It felt so good to get through that workout and know all that we have accomplished.
You know, that tradition kind of got me thinking about a lot of the rituals and routines that our team has. So I put together another list, this one is titled, "You know you're a UNM women's basketball player when... So, sit back, relax, and don't laugh too hard, some of them actually make a little bit of sense.
You know you're a UNM women's basketball player when...
That wraps up this list, but don't forget to put your name on the list for season tickets this year. They are officially on sale now!

My husband and I have been many times and love it. We have not had a disappointing meal yet! Ben & Jack are often there to greet you and are always welcoming. The porterhouse is always cooked perfectly and the sides are delicious.

Came in New Years Eve night with my boyfriend. Crowd was drunk and rowdy and quite annoying. I appreciated the waiter telling the large party behind us to leave. They who were standing around us and knocking into our chairs. The table next to us was extremely obnoxious and drunk as well, so the steak better have been worth it.....and it WAS!!!! We first ordered the shrimp cocktail and fresh oysters. Shrimp was jumbo and fresh and their cocktail sauce was very yummy. Oysters were ok, not bad, but not outstanding. We also had the Steak for Two with Creamed Spinach and German Potatoes. The steak came sizzling (of course) and even made my mouth water with just that sizzle noise and delicious smell! Our friendly waiter served it to us and when we put the steak in our mouth...OMG, it was absolute heaven! It was cooked perfectly to our specification (medium well) and extremely tender and juicy. The sides could have been better. Spinach was too salty and watery and didn't have much substance to it. The potatoes were flat out burnt. I was expecting the potatoes like Lugers, but it was not at all as golden and tender as Lugers. I still would recommend B&J's because their steak was just out of this world! Maybe their sides guy was having an off night or something. Didn't have any room for dessert, but they all sure looked great! Overall, the steak is definitely worth the trip!
Posted by Eddie on 12/14/2006
I've been to Ben and Jack's many times with different groups of people. Everyone has loved it. The food and service are great! The only weak spot is the decor - It doesn't feel like a steakhouse - it's too stiff. I think it is one of best steak places in NYC.
Posted by Trader99 on 12/04/2006
Very bland steak, although the Ben and Jack's salad was very good. Friendly wait staff, although it did take a while to get re-fills on drinks. Their house steaksauce was very good, and I did like how they slice the steak for you. Atmosphere and interior is more fitting of an Italian restaurant than steakhouse in my opinion. Overall... just average.
Posted by foodpro on 11/05/2006
You must have caught an off night. We eat here 2 - 3 times a week, and the food, especially the fish, is consistently outstanding. The Maitre D/owners are terrific and really appreciates their customers. I would give it another try.
Posted by Joe W on 10/31/2006
I came to NY on Business and I was very disappointed. I was hoping to get Peter Luger quality without having to go to brooklyn. My seafood was overcooked and the steak lacked taste. Waiter was great but the Maitre D's were useless, it seems that everyone there is an owner, and they walk around in suits and only talk to the customers they know which were very few. I would think with two Maitre D's at least one might have come over to my table (8) business people, but they never did. Not recommended.
Posted by Carol of 45th st. on 10/26/2006
My favorite steak house in the neighborhood, best steaks and lump crabmeat. The service is impeccable and friendly staff. I recommended this place to all my friends and they all are happy with their meals.

End 'hiatus' on women's issues
Progress on women's issues at Duke has seemingly stalled over the past several years, despite momentum gained during Nan Keohane's presidency.
In 2003 at the conclusion of the Women's Initiative, Keohane created a Commission on the Status of Women to ensure that progress would be made on the actions highlighted in the Initiative's final report. Three years later, President Richard Brodhead charged a President's Council on Women with continuing progress on gender equity at Duke.
But last year, Brodhead halted the council's meetings and placed it on hiatus, saying that the body was being re-evaluated. Since then, he has made no public statements about the matter.
Although the council was more or less stagnant, it is important to have an oversight structure in place to address the important needs of women at Duke.
The council format adopted by Keohane and Brodhead was marginally successful in advancing women's issues like the installation of lactation rooms on campus and the improvement of childcare services offered to female employees.
But one of the biggest flaws in the body's structure was that it lumped all of the University's female constituents—students, faculty and staff—into the single demographic of women. In reality, the needs of these groups differ, and a one-size-fits-all approach was destined to falter.
Despite the council's failings, challenges still exist for women at Duke, and they merit serious attention. When it comes to undergraduate life, the problems identified by the Women's Initiative—dating culture at Duke, greek life and academic advising networks—are not conducive to building women's self-esteem.
The Initiative's report also rightly noted that female faculty and staff face obstacles in the workplace because of their gender. Mentoring and professional development, safety and security, LGBT issues, diversity and work-life balance continue to be important issues for the University to address. And a glance at Duke's upper level administration reveals a dearth of females, evidence that gender inequity—intentional or de facto—still exists.
Admittedly, many of the women's issues present at our University are not unique to Duke. But they still necessitate careful, committed and sustained attention.
Support from the president goes a long way in legitimizing attempts to address women's issues, and it is understandable that each president would take an approach that best fits their individual style. It's problematic, however, that Brodhead chose to carry on Keohane's council but later disbanded it in a rather underhanded manner without any sufficient explanation.
With the Women's Initiative as a guiding document, Brodhead should replace the President's Council on Women with some sort of oversight structure to address the obstacles Duke women face with concrete recommendations and policies. Rather than charging a council with a broad and vague mandate, an action-based mechanism with a specific structure to deal with specific constituencies' problems would be more effective.
Bottom-up initiatives are necessary to address women's issues, but they are ineffective without outspoken upper level administrative support. President Brodhead must not shy away from exercising true leadership in addressing gender inequity at Duke.
Lucy McKinstry, a former member of the President's Council on Women, recused herself from this editorial.

Topic: Nantes vs Valenciennes
4-9-10 for the hosts, and they are in the relegation zone. Poor form, but they managed 0-0 against Lille in their last match. Barthez is back in the goal.
Valenciennes are four points ahead. Ok form, but they have 1-1-10 away. Few players missing, but they have a chance of doing good in this match.
This match could end in a draw.
