Brooke Mosteller told a joke during her pressure-packed interview question at the Miss South Carolina 2013 pageant. She was still having fun as she was introduced as the state's new beauty queen Sunday.
Mosteller, who competed as Miss Mount Pleasant, won the crown Saturday night at the pageant in Columbia. Her platform is helping high school students apply and go to college, especially students with no one in their family who has ever been to a university.
Mosteller moves on to compete in the Miss America pageant in September, and she has some big high heels to fill. Miss South Carolina 2011 Bree Boyce became nationally known for losing more than 100 pounds before she won the crown. Miss South Carolina 2012 Ali Rogers, finished second in last year's Miss America pageant.
"Strap up," Mosteller said as she faked flexing her muscles when asked what she planned to do to get ready for the national pageant.
Mosteller, 23, is a Furman University graduate and was attending the University of South Carolina law school before her win Saturday night. She also was a preliminary swimsuit winner.
The runner-up Saturday was Miss Greenville County, Lindley Mayer. Third place was Miss Spartanburg, Clarka Wickliffe, fourth place was Miss Hilton Head Island, Lauren Cabaniss, and fifth place was Miss Greater Greer, Lanie Hudson.
Miss Mauldin Teen, Brook Sill, won the Miss South Carolina Teen crown.
Mosteller was still having fun Sunday morning when she was presented with jewelry, a new car, a fur coat and other gifts. After being given a strand of pearls, a medallion and a ring with a diamond shaped like South Carolina, she found her dad in the crowd.
"My birthday's on Friday. You're going to have to do a lot to top this," she said, as her father beamed with pride from the first row.
Mosteller thanked her parents and her pageant coach for believing in her. She lost four times before she finally won a preliminary pageant. This was her second try at becoming Miss South Carolina. She also thanked Taylor Swift, saying the pop star's songs about growing up as a girl inspired her.
Mosteller's platform is called "Go Higher." Its goal is to get guidance counselors and others in high schools to help students fill out college applications during the day. Mosteller said as salutatorian at Wando High School, the college application process was confusing, so she couldn't imagine how daunting it must be for someone in a family without any college graduates.
As her mother passed out eight pages of research and testimonials on the project, Mosteller posed for pictures with people in the audience. Her mother, Cyndi Mosteller, said her engaging personality and ability to handle any situation has always been evident.
"What you see is what you get. She isn't the kind of girl you expect for these kinds of things. We're so proud," said Mosteller, who is a former chairwoman of the Charleston County Republican Party.
Brooke Mosteller will now move into a three-bedroom apartment in Hartsville provided by the Miss South Carolina pageant. She was spending the summer as an intern in Attorney General Alan Wilson's office, but joked he fired her after determining she wouldn't be able to spend much time in the office now. Mosteller also plans to take a hiatus from law school, if administrators there will let her.
"I have spent the past year learning how to make an argument and that's one I will have to make to the law school," she said. "I think I will wear the crown while I am there."

This is exactly why when someone like Tom Corbett runs for office I withhold my vote from the office of governor. Not only are you privatizing the lottery but you let a foreign company take it over. Hey Corbett! We won our independence from the British over 200 years ago!
My forefathers are rolling in their graves right now.

The lottery was supposed to help seniors but only a small percentage actually goes to them. It's disappointing that this would go to a foreign enterprise, but after Wisconsin and Michigan, I'm pretty turned off by public sector unions.

Unbelievable, he really is governor corporate. Maybe we should sell the turnpike to a company in Spain and sell all the booze stores to a German company. This guy really needs to go.

If you suspect your child may be suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, there are some symptoms directly related to the problem. Dr. Frank Lawlis, Chairman of the Dr. Phil Advisory Board, provides the following checklist to help recognize the symptoms. Place a check mark next to all those that apply to your child, not occasionally, but on most days:
1. Your child has intrusive, persistent thoughts and images that interfere with day-to-day functioning, including interfering with emotional access to positive feelings, such as joy and peace. ( )
2. Your child has intrusive, persistent images that often trigger anxiety and stress. ( )
3. Your child may attempt to control these intrusive thoughts by excessive behaviors to reduce stress. ( )
4. Your child's attempts are unsuccessfully to ignore the intrusive images with some distracting thoughts or actions. ( )
5. Although your child may recognize the thoughts or images as irrational, he/she feels driven to reduce the resulting anxiety and frustration at all costs. ( )
6. Often your child feels the irrational compulsion to perform certain activities, such as washing his or her hands, counting, etc., as a means to reduce anxiety. ( )
7. The time it takes to deal with these intrusive thoughts and images takes up at least an hour of every day and interferes with the daily routine. ( )
8. Your child often feels depressed because of the persistent memories of regret and disillusionments. ( )
9. At times, images or thoughts are triggered by external events and your child can't control them or find ways for them to diminish in intensity. ( )
10. In an attempt to control the onset of anxiety and frustration, your child tries to behave in a perfectionist manner in work, in the hopes that by doing so, he/she won't be criticized. ( )
11. In order to maintain control over the intrusion of ruminating thoughts and images, your child becomes rigid in daily routines or to a specific set of rules, such that any deviation from that routine can trigger anxiety. ( )
12. Your child's cravings keep spinning in his/her thoughts without resolution, causing constant and extreme stress. ( )
13. Your child is not satisfied until there is a level of perfection to the product. ( )
14. Your child cannot release feelings of guilt even when there is no reason for it. ( )
15. Your child cannot release problems of the past that have been forgiven and forgotten. ( )
Scoring: If you checked off more than eight of these symptoms, there's a reasonable chance your child's brain is vulnerable to stress-inducing rumination patterns. Perpetual conflict isn't good. Please consider getting your child professional help.

Assuming you already own a broom, there should be no direct costs associated with reducing or eliminating outdoor cleaning. The benefits will be the water savings and reduced water bills.
If you currently wash your car at home and opt instead to go to a car wash that uses recycled water there will likely be some increased costs.

Vermont's Northeast Kingdom abounds with brook trout, in large part because of the helping hand played by a local sportsman's club. Volunteers with the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Conservation Group refurbished the former state fish hatchery in Morgan, where they now annually raise thousands of brook trout fry. They oversee an annual program called "The Morgan Hatchery Project" that involves getting members of the community to fan out across the Northeast Kingdom on cross-country skis, snowshoes and snowmobiles to stock local beaver ponds and other remote waters with these colorful, native fish. On a good day volunteers can distribute 60,000 fry to throughout the Northeast Kingdom. Though the stocking benefits the fishing community, the real satisfaction comes from practicing responsible habitat stewardship, and giving back to nature. We follow the brook trout journey from incubation to release on a wintry spring day in Morgan.
For information about volunteering for the Morgan Hatchery Project or for stocking location information, contact Byron Fish at (802) 723-6385.

Semin is gonna get a long deal from either us or the pens... I say 4 years at the most but you gotta know he will have options so yes we will have to overpay or give a longer contract than we want. I think, given the leagues perception of him, he will want a longer term contract more importantly. Consider us lucky if we can get him for 3 years
JBou will be a player a lot more easily obtained... Franzen, Cleary, and Bert... Flames get a long term goal scorer and we can ditch our dead weight and let our kids play... Franzen for JBou should be a good deal straight up but I want holland to dump these guys salary as well
I wouldn't be upset if we signed Semin to a 3yr/15mil contract. I think that's a slight over payment but compared to the salaries out there around the league not too bad.
I think Ken Holland would be too embarrassed to make that offer to the Flames for Bouwmeester. He would be laughed out of the room. I would think the Flames want young assets not older, close to retirement players. People are so unrealistic.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. - Take a step back to the earlier times and see horse-drawn wagons roll on the National Road again.
The 25th annual National Pike Festival and Wagon Train gets underway Friday, with its encampment in Clear Spring at the historic Plumb Grove Mansion. Visitors can see the wagons arriving, and be entertained with music and food from 5 to 8 p.m. Wagons, pulled by horses and mules, and many individual riders will re-enact the pioneering wagon travel during the early part of our nation's history.
The Wagon Train rolls out of Clear Spring at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 18, and continues through Hagerstown to Funkstown. On Sunday, May 20, the Wagon Train continues and finishes at Boonsboro, Md.

The National Pike Festival and Wagon Train will bring riders through Washington County this weekend.
Tom Riford, president and CEO of the Hagerstown-Washington County CVB, urged visitors and residents to plan and witness the Wagon Train in several special places along the route. There is a special brochure, designed and printed by the CVB, available at many locations, including at the Downtown Hagerstown Visitors Welcome Center.
The festivities kick off in Clear Spring at Plum Grove Mansion - built in 1831 - from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, with music, food and more.
Here is a partial schedule of approximate arrival times:
Article Map
9 a.m.: Horses depart from Plum Grove Mansion
9:30 a.m.: Clear Spring Pike Days Parade
10:30 a.m.: Wilson General Store
11:15 a.m.: Wilson Stone Bridge (weather permitting)
Noon: Huyetts Crossroads (near the Sheetz), behind the Wacohu Grange
2 p.m.: Hagerstown City Park between Hager House & Museum of Fine Arts
3:30 p.m.: Ravenwood Lutheran Village (brief stop)
5:30 p.m.: Funkstown Community Park, Overnight encampment
10 a.m.: Wagon Train Departs Funkstown
Noon: Auction Square Marketplace in Boonsboro
1:30 p.m.: Shafer Memorial Park in Boonsboro
The route can be viewed at www.nationalpikefestival.org/map.shtml. The online brochure is available at www.nationalpikefestival.org/wagon_train_schedule_2013.pdf
Held every year since 1989, this fun-filled community event provides visitors with an authentic wagon train experience, highly reminiscent to the 1800s era, during the time when Western Maryland was a frontier, and everyone relied on wagons and horses. Many communities along the entire National Road (from Baltimore to Ohio) celebrate the annual National Pike Festival with fairs, parades, celebrations and, of course, this unique and authentic wagon train. Participants and visitors can enjoy special activities at various stops during the Festival; Hagerstown City Park, and Boonsboro Shafer Memorial Park.
In the early 19th century, because of its unique geographical location west of Baltimore, between the Allegheny Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains, Hagerstown and Washington County proved its importance in assisting the nation's expansion. The 300-mile route created by the Federal Government eventually became known as the National Pike. In 1806, President Thomas Jefferson signed an act authorizing federal funds to build a road from Cumberland, Md., to the state of Ohio.
"One of the interesting facts about the National Road is that the very first time that macadam was used was right here in Washington County," Riford said. "The section of the road from Boonsboro through Funkstown and on to Hagerstown began construction in 1823."

In my work agenda it is a vital tool, as I am every day in several meetings with existing customers and potential customers, and this book in particular gives me great comfort to take my notes, and very important, provides an image giving presence and calling the attention of my customers, because it looks so fine. The only thing i changed is the default black plastic disc for a 1-inch gold disks, since default disks not look so good, now it remain impeccable. I enjoy working with it, it is the best I've had so far, I recommend it 100% !!

I was excited to receive this organizational and personalized product in the mail. While its overall looks are great and the monogram adds a nice touch, I am disappointed in the cheap binding where 2 of the plastic bindings (in the middle) broke off from just opening and closing the notebook. After only a week of use and the price paid, this is highly disappointing.

Comments about Levenger Circa Leather Foldover Notebook:
Levenger products are always of great quality. This is no different. Even better when matched with the Ox blood aluminum rings. Recently got back into journaling but prefer to write on pieces of paper that are not bound to a book. Of course the Circa system becomes a great answer to this need.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought 8 of these to give as employee recognition gifts. I had their names put on the front and they LOVED them. They talked about the smell and feel of the quality leather. They also mentioned how they could rearrange their notes and add pages in the notebook with the hole punch we also got from Levenger. The only down side is that I did not get one. : (

Bottom line: The perfect notebook system to organize, and move around your notes without having the torn edge of a spiral notebook page. Here is the long version of my review: I'm studying a foreign language, and I needed a notebook that would allow me to add, remove, and reorganize pages as my vocabulary, grammar, and conversational phrases in this foreign language class progressed. I'd been using a regular spiral notebook up until now, but I found that it was difficult to organize my notes in a way that works for me. I considered using a 3 ring binder, so that I could move around pages, and re-organize as needed, but the bulk of carrying a full size 3 ring binder to/from class was a turn off since I commute an hour each way to class. The Circa notebook was a perfect solution for me, because it allows me to take notes on the loose levenger punched pages, and then I am able to place those pages in their corresponding sections of the notebook. The best part is the notebook isn't fat and bulky at all, it has the benefits of a slim spiral notebook, with the organizational flexibility of a three ring binder. I got the Junior size notebook because I like to travel light, and the junior size fits into my purse! I can go straight from work to class, and not have to carry a cumbersome bag! In fact, I carry the notebook with me all the time now, so whenever I find a few moments of down time (on the train, my lunch break, etc.) I have my notes with me to study. These benefits are well worth the price of investing in this notebook system. I like that you can buy the levenger page refills, and section dividers that you can move around within the notebook as well. I'm really happy with this product, and in fact, I'm thinking of getting a full size notebook, and a levenger punch so that I can put all the handouts from class right in to the notebook as well so that I can have ALL my class materials in one notebook!!
You've got me!
By PJ the skater
from Atlanta GA
I have threatened to buy a Circa notebook for years but didn't. I am so glad I finally did (and sad I didn't do it sooner). I work full time, am on two boards, and figure skate as a hobby. All areas require a notebook--but I am a stickler for one notebook for my "life." Period. With one, all information is accessible for all parts of one's life. This notebook offers the perfect solution--with dividers; easily changed out paper; small carrying size, and nice styling. If your personal and profession lives are busy--and whose isn't--this is your forever notebook!

|Observation of a Macroscopically Quantum-Entangled Insulator
It has recently been proposed that insulators with large band gaps and strong spin-orbit coupling can host a new phase of quantum matter called a topological insulator that is characterized by entangled wavefunctions. The proposal has now been realized by an international collaboration led by researchers from Princeton University who studied the electronic structure of insulating alloys of bismuth and antimony by means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and spin-resolved ARPES. Their results constitute the first direct experimental evidence of a topological insulator in nature that is fully quantum entangled. In the future, a detailed study of topological order and quantum entanglement using their method can potentially pave the way for fault-tolerant (topological) quantum computing.
Quantum entanglement can occur in quantum mechanical systems of two or more objects in which the quantum states of the constituent objects are linked together, thus leading to non-classical correlations between observable physical properties of the system. Entanglement is a required feature of quantum computing schemes. The wavefunction coherence required for entanglement is difficult to maintain for macroscopic objects, so entanglement is usually observed in systems comprising atoms or smaller particles. However, the recently proposed topological insulators are described by a quantum entanglement of its wavefunction, dubbed topological order, which survives over the macroscopic dimensions of the crystal. The topological order sets these insulators apart from "ordinary" quantum phases of matter such as superconductors, magnets, or superfluids.
Topologically ordered phases of matter are extremely rare and are experimentally challenging to identify. The only previously known example was the Nobel-Prize-winning discovery of the quantum Hall effect insulator in the 1980s in a two-dimensional electron system under a large external magnetic field at very low temperatures. While these systems are characterized by robust conducting states localized along the one-dimensional edges of the sample, two-dimensional topological insulators are predicted to exhibit similar edge states even in the absence of a magnetic field because spin–orbit coupling can simulate its effect. Three-dimensional topological insulators are an entirely new state of matter with no charge quantum Hall analogue. Their topological order or quantum entanglement is predicted to give rise to conducting two-dimensional surface states that have unusual spin-selective energy–momentum dispersion relations.
With these conducting surface states as a key signature of the sought-for topological insulator , the collaboration studied the electronic structure of insulating alloys of bismuth and antimony (Bi1-xSbx) by means of ARPES at ALS Beamline 12.0.1 and Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Light Source (SSRL) Beamline 5-4, and by spin-resolved ARPES at the COPHEE beamline of the Swiss Light Source (SLS). An important feature of the electronic structure of conductors is the Fermi surface, a map in momentum space of the maximum electron energy in the ground state. By systematically tuning the incident photon energy, they isolated the signal from surface states for further investigation of the surface state Fermi surface.
Among their findings, they observed a notable property characteristic of the surface states of a three-dimensional topological insulator; namely, that its Fermi surface supports a geometrical quantum entanglement phase, which occurs when the spin-polarized Fermi surface encloses certain high-symmetry points (Kramers' points and ) of the surface Brillouin zone (a kind of unit cell in momentum space) an odd number of times. In this way, they were able to confirm that these insulating alloys exhibited a three-dimensional topological insulating phase. In addition, the observed spin texture in the Bi1-xSbx alloys is consistent with a magnetic-monopole image field beneath the surface, as predicted in theory.
The work also demonstrates a general measurement approach for identifying and characterizing topological insulator materials for future research that can be utilized to discover, observe, and study other forms of topological order and quantum entanglement in nature.

By Dr. Sue Hubbard
The Kid's Doctor
During a child's checkup, I spend time showing his or her parents (as well as older children in the family) their child's growth curve. This curve looks at a child's weight and height, and for children age 2 and older, their body mass index (BMI). This visual look at how a child is growing is always eagerly anticipated by parents, as they can then compare their child's progress to norms by age.
I often use the growth curve as a segue into a discussion with the parents about weight trends and a healthy weight for their child. I like to start this conversation after the one-year checkup, when a child has stopped bottle feeding and is now eating regular meals and enjoying table food.
This discussion becomes especially important during the toddler years, as there's growing data that rapid weight gain, even in this age group, may be associated with future obesity and morbidity. Discussions about improving eating habits and making dietary and activity recommendations need to begin sooner rather than later.
An interesting article in the Archives of Pediatrics relates to this subject. A study at the University of Maryland looked at the parental perception of a toddler's weight from age 1 year to 32 months. The authors reported that 87 percent of mothers of overweight toddlers were less likely to be accurate in their weight perceptions than mothers of healthy weight toddlers.
They also reported that 82 percent of mothers of overweight toddlers were satisfied with their toddler's body weight. Interestingly, this same article pointed out that 4 percent of mothers of overweight children and 21 percent of mothers of healthy weight children wished that their kids were larger.
Part of this misconception may be related to the fact that being overweight is becoming normal – a sad statement about our society in general.
Further research has revealed that more than 75 percent of parents of overweight children report that "they had never heard that their children were overweight" and the rates are even higher for younger children. If this is the case, we as pediatricians need to be doing a better job.
We need to begin counseling parents – and their children, when age appropriate – about diet and activity, even for toddlers. By doing this across all cultures, we may be able to change perceptions of healthy weight in our youngest children in hopes that the pendulum of increasing obesity in this country may swing the other way.

In the last year there have been several attempts to replicate the iPhone experience, names like Voyager and Vu come to mind, but in reality no one has come close. Part of Apple's success lies in their ground-up approach, a fact that went largely overlooked by competitors. Samsung and Sprint took note. Nearly a year to the day after the iPhone's release the Instinct is here, and it is the first touchscreen device that can truly go toe-to-toe with the iPhone ...

Went to play with the device at a Sprint Store, I must say it's not what I thought it would be, it honestly feels quite cheap in the hand and it lacks the simplicity that the iphone has with its OS. but, if that's your thing I am sure it will work for you. The speeds with the data varied based on reception, although when it had full bars I didn't notice much lag on it, the phone did freeze a few times on me. The GPS was quite a nice touch, the music player which got low marks already wasn't that great. All and all it wasn't enough to make me go back to Sprint, sorry to say I am going to wait for the iphone 3G when it comes out and if that's not as a WOW factor as the original was for me I am going to bank on the Samsung Omnia with it's FM Radio, 5 MPXL camera, Wi-Fi, WinMo 6.1 and HSDPA. Plus it's a phone I can take with me overseas. All and all I can see why the price was knocked down to 129.99 for it. Just not that stellar.

I purchased his phone on the 19th and must say this review is the closest to the experience I have had so far. The QWERTY is extremely accurate and easy to use right out of the box. I did want to point out that you do not need to use the virtual back space button as the permanent back button next to home icon will work as well. I also had trouble with the virtual back space button which will make the keyboard disappear if you missed it. Also I was able to load Google Maps by sending the text link to myself via google.com. The UI is very easy and user friendly but seems to be pretty dumbed down. I was surprised with the lack of options under the Settings icon. My favorite feature is the Sprint Navigation which like the review stated works hand in hand with Live Search. The Navigation was quite to re-route when I would purposely not follow where it told me to go. I can search everything from gas by price to just about anything else under the sun with easy which is all categorized and once you find what you are looking for you are given the phone number, a map, driving directions, and the ability to send the info to anyone! All in all t is a great phone for what I need. If you are looking for email access you are better off to stick with your BB, WM, or Palm because the Instinct will not cut. It is far from a smart phone but has to be one of the best multi-media/GPS phones.

I was able to download google maps and use it just fine on my Instinct. I agree with all the cons. The camera sucks and not having T9 is pretty dumb. I hate not having the ability to personalize the phone with a wallpaper that I can see longer than 2 seconds. Other than that it is great!
31. (unregistered)
no need for T9 when you have a keyboard!

I was going to switch from Sprint to AT&T with iPhone 3G but then I took an hour and tried out Sprint Instinct at the store. It is an awesome phone and a serious competitor (except browser which will be resolved with Opera Mini soon). Other than that, it is very customizable, single handed operation for most stuff, fast Touch-screen response, real GPS (unlike iPhone which just tacks on Google Maps) with turn-by-turn directions. You can even download Google maps (both street view and satellite view) on Sprint Instinct (should be integrated with GPS in a little while as well). The voice command search is awesome (you say Chinese Food and it will find nearby using GPS and even give you a one-touch number to call or one-touch to turn-by-turn GPS directions), and 30+ TV channels and a lot of Radio channels are included. It also has a camcorder that iPhone doesn't. It is perfect size (iphone is too wide). And best of all, for $69.99 single line or $129.99 for 2 lines, you get everything that iPhone 3G will provide plus UNLIMITED Text messaging (iPhone will cost $20 extra per month!) and UNLIMITED TV and RADIO time (no TV or Radio on iPhone)! The TeleNav GPS on Instinct is like high-end GPS unit for a car and it has voice command with real names of streets. It also checks for real-time traffic alerts and re-routes you! You can even set Instinct up to announce (text to voice) the names of phone callers on incoming calls or text messages! And it cost me $129.99 at BestBuy (no mail-in rebates needed) with renewal of 2-year contract (I was 23 months into the contract). This is the best deal for my money and I got 2 of them for me and my wife and she loves it!

Too bad this sweet phone is on one of the worst "nationwide" networks available. Poor Sprint.
32. (unregistered)
here we go, we know Sprint isnt your cup of tea but it works great for me and my family for the last 5 yrs.
9. (unregistered)
now what's left? Sprint needs to improve they network. I still believe vzw and att has the best network in the business. Without a good ASS network all of this ain't possible. Because u will be frustrated with the phone but really is not ur phone is the cell towers that SUCKS!!!!
10. (unregistered)
its all about what works in your area, but as one who uses both vzw and sprint and travels a lot i have to admit that sprint has surpassed vzw in the past two years or so. they keep getting better, while my vzw service deteriorates.
11. (unregistered)
The real deal killer for me on the Instinct is that it currently lacks the ability to open PDF's and Office doc's, no push email, and no calendar sync. I know this is not intended as a "business" phone, but these are serious drawbacks for anyone considering the phone for anything but play. Does anyone know if these shortfalls will be addressed?
13. (unregistered)
Hopefully the SDK release will solve some if not all of the probelms you listed. The other option is wait util they release the Andriod version which I've read is expected Q4 08 or Q1 09.
33. (unregistered)
well working in retail and selling Sprint this phone is mainly for play, no calender sync and no plans of correcting that as of yet. also this device is not ment to compete with your current line of PDA phones it is not even classifyed as such by samsung and sprint.

do you mean that there is no way to sync your phone with your computer??

Have you tried to typing on the Instincts virtual keyboard yet? I wasn't sure I would like it myself but after the first day I was amazed with how responsive it was. The only problem I have is the "?" is right next to the space bar so I somethings have a "?" instead of a space.
15. (unregistered)
Did anyone know that if you are using the GPS or radio that you will not receive phone calls. They go right to voice mail.
17. (unregistered)
I received a call on Saturday night while I was using the Navigation so you may have a probelm with your phone. Now if I'm watching TV or using the RAdio app it will go to VM but not when I'm using the Nav

I enjoyed reading this review thank you phone arena. The only inaccurate item in your review is saying sprint has the largest 3g network. If you go off of sprints website their EV-DO is available to over 230 million people in the U.S. If you go off of Verizon's website their EV-DO coverage is available to over 245 million people. But hey who's perfect?
22. (unregistered)
ev-do is not the same as 3g
26. (unregistered)
ev-do is the name of 3g that sprint and verizon use.
40. tuscan_sun (Posts: 2; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
"largest" can mean geographical area, rather than metro population coverage. Personally when assessing a network coverage i dont care about the other 244,999,999 folks.. i want the largest geographical coverage from a network.

I got my Instinct the day it came out, and now I'm on my 2nd one. The GPS and the Live search only work when it feels like it. I just moved and it has gotten me lost TWICE for over 30 minutes each. One more mess up and I'm turning it back in and reactivating my old trusty M1 flip phone.

Switch to Verizon. Get the LG dare and drop Sprint. youll be happier I promise
24. (unregistered)
.......who cares about hte error codes, the N-gage sucked, but people still purchased them, if you want something that will cook you breakfast and wash your clothes get a maid, these are phones, besides, If people are so happy with the Iphone, why don't they petition Steve Jobs to pay them for all the free advertising they do. Who wouldnt want to get paid for getting on their knees whenever someone mentions the Iphone. I'd do it, but they gotta pay me.
25. (unregistered)
not to mention if my IPhad breaks, I HAVE to send it off and there is NO REPLACEMENT plan on the Phone, so.....Id rather get something that works, not to mention LG is Samsung......so either way they win

Dare and Verizon is a much better choice for me and may be for you as well.

I am one of those guys that went into the store and played with the instinct for about 2 minutes, and walked away not impressed. However, being the gadget guy that I am, I had to give it a honest go, so I sighne up and got an Instinct (after having a iphone on Tmobile for 10 days). I have to say I love this phone now, the camera if very good with a lot of light. Yes a lot of light, If you know anything about photography then you will know that u need light to get good exposures, so don't bother taking a low light image if you don't have the light to properly expose it, get ur 20d or nikon w/flash. The keyboard is nice, a T9 option in portrait would be nice, html email would be nice, but the push email, with basic text is great on the battery, u take ur pic. Web browser needs work with the crashing, but I still can get to my sites. Notes need work, (ability to add more). Picture Mail, this is great, just need ability to play anaimations. Excell, and Word reader would be nice to, but I don't use em much, or even a txt pad.

VZW IS OPEN ACCESS NETWORK translation.....I am using the Instinct on VZW network right now, it is cool but I think the DARE (which I use on the same number as well as my voyager ) is just far better...camera BLOWS IT and the I phone out the water, it is a multi tasker so while I am surfing the net I can listen to my music and I can also recieve my phone calls and not get booted out of any of the apps I am running at the same time...I like the Voice command GPS but that wont work on VZW , which is fine....I did get the TV hooked up with it and it is good quality....But the Voyager is louder....still it is nice to alternate phones .... I use to miss that but with changing esn online for free anytime I want I rotate my phones every other day or so.

Now I feel stupid. I got this phone yesterday, and there is only 2 thing I do not like. 1. no space to put the stylus. all this finger pressing is fine, but i like the precision and visibility that stylus gives you. 2. I can't figure out on how to delete a contact name from the speed dial list, with out deleting them from the contacts all together. Someone help! Please! I just refuse to belive that there is no remove feature. That was the my first time I played with the phone, and with the first 3 presses the name got added by accedent that I rearly use. So my next attemp was to remove it... and that is where I got stock, and felt very stupid. read the manual, and did not find that info. But since no one else mentioned that issue, I'm starting to belive it's just me. LOL

I just purchased this phone yesterday and I must say i am very impressed with it, even though I played with the iPhone a little bit, I am not missing the fact that this is not an iPhone. I love it in every way EXCEPT you don't have the option to lock your pictures, being that people want to look through your phone because it is a new phone that is out, should give the the option to lock your pictures and videos.

New business professors manage first year
The Utah Statesman
By Madisen Miller
Among the faculty the Huntsman School of Business hired this year are two new professors who each have different stories about what attracted them to the university.
John Ferguson began his tenure in June 2012. He said it was the beautiful valley and multiple academic positions that attracted him to USU. Both he and his wife now teach USU courses.
Ferguson said his impression of Logan was a good one at first.
"You have the mountains right there," he said. "People were very friendly. My colleagues were very friendly. I thought it was very nice."

The Discovery of the True Cross - kirk yacoub - 14-09-2007
Today, September 14th, we celebrate the discovery of the True Cross in 326. The importance of the Cross is obvious: we cross ourselves before, during and after prayers; we are signed with the Cross many times during all the sacraments; we bow before the Cross; we pray before icons that depict our Lord in His suffering on the Cross; we wear the crucifix, not as an ornament or as jewellery, as the reactionary school and work place "dress-codes" try to imply, but because the Cross is the sign of Christ's agonized sacrifice for our sakes, most importantly, it is the sign of His victory over death.
There are those who belittle the Cross. The Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, mock us by saying, if Christ had been executed by firing squad, would we hang a replica of a rifle around our necks? (I have personally experienced a Jehovah's Witness approaching me, smiling as he brandished a copy of watch Tower, suddenly noticing my crucifix, looking panic-stricken and fleeing with the hurried aversion to the Cross associated in films with Count Dracula!) If only they could be persuaded to read, absorb and understand St Athanasios' clear explanation in "On the Incarnation of the Word", of why Christ could only have undergone
crucifixion, no other death.
By being signed with the Cross, by crossing ourselves, by bowing before the Cross, by wearing the Cross, we are acknowledging the saving power of the Cross. To celebrate the finding of the True Cross is to celebrate the Relic of all relics. The Cross is not a logo, it is an ever-living reality whose power to protect, save and transform is expressed every day. Syriac Church Fathers recommended that the faithful should cross themselves before every undertaking because, after all, we are supoosed to take up our cross daily in walking that straight and narrow path towards God's Heavenly Kingdom.

Dear Kirk,
Thank you for this.
Quote:Syriac Church Fathers recommended that the faithful should cross themselves before every undertaking because, after all, we are supoosed to take up our cross daily in walking that straight and narrow path towards God's Heavenly Kingdom.This is wise counsel; and it may be wrong of me, but I cannot help but feel it keeps the demons at bay.
In Him,
Sign of the Cross - John Mark - 28-09-2007
Dear John and Kirk,
I certainly do not think you are wrong John, I have yet to come across any Church Father who didn't recommend making the sign of the cross at nearly every opportunity.
Indeed the early martyrs would, I understand, often stand with arms outstretched in the Colisseum so that as they were attacked by wild beasts, burnt alive etc and died they could not fail but imitate Our Lord.
In Christ,

October is Respect Life month, a time to honor individuals from the time of conception to natural death. Our society's morals have declined as we have seen less marriages, many broken homes, lower church attendance, and fewer places where Christian morals are taught.
Society is replacing the values of past generations with the values of television and movies. These different values have led us down a path where people are confused as to what is right and wrong. This has led many to accept abortion as a choice, without asking themselves what the reality of that choice is. The abortion choice ends a person's life. Each life is a gift and each of us have a responsibility to live our own life and not to end other's lives.
What will the future bring as the population gets older and we have fewer people to take care of our elders? What will happen to our aging population when they are deemed not worthy or too costly to keep alive? We see examples of lost values often in Chicago and lately in Freeport. Many people die unnecessarily from people who no longer have any Christian values and have lost their sense of right and wrong and choose to commit murder.
There are people in our midst who are against values and are promoting their own agendas. If we look closely we can see how evil has entered our society. We need to develop strong families that support one another and respect life throughout all of it's stages. It is up to each of us to assist one another with this endeavor.

Pat Howard: Whether through lottery or slots, government addicted to gambling
Most of the folks I come across who object to Gov. Tom Corbett's plan to outsource management of the Pennsylvania Lottery focus on the prospective loss of homegrown jobs at the hands of a foreign company.
But there's a larger question. The Corbett administration's contract with Camelot Global Services -- now in limbo after new state Attorney General Kathleen Kane deemed it unconstitutional -- is premised on Camelot generating a lot more money from the lottery.
That means the state needs people to lose more to cover the coming increase in demand for the programs benefiting senior citizens that lottery proceeds pay for. While sitting in on the Erie Times-News Editorial Board's meeting with Corbett on Friday, I asked him if it was sound policy to fund a big increase in public spending by encouraging more people to gamble (lose) more cash in more ways more often.
Corbett parsed the issue, saying the idea was to get more people playing rather than coaxing those who already play to lose more. He also noted that the basic course he's on was set in 1971 when the state Legislature created the lottery.
There's no going back, in other words. Just asking the question felt kind of quaint.
Implicit in the governor's plan is another query: What's the alternative? Slashing subsidies to senior citizens as the wave of aging baby boomers swamps Harrisburg would be politically unthinkable, as would raising the sums required through conventional taxes.
So what's needed is a larger pool of suckers who will part with that cash voluntarily. The arrangement with Camelot would commit the company to delivering that in exchange for a piece of the action, which set records for sales and profit in the 2011-12 fiscal year.
While the moral dynamics are similar, the gambling calculus is different in Erie County, where local government's share of the take from Presque Isle Downs & Casino has begun to contract along with the casino's revenue in the face of new competition in Ohio. County government and its Gaming Revenue Authority had been splitting $12 million-plus each year, but it dropped to $11.7 million in 2012 largely because of the opening of Horseshoe Casino Cleveland in May.
When Harrisburg was putting in place casino legislation and as plans for the local slots emporium took shape before its 2007 opening, scattered voices locally raised concerns. Some worried about the effects of gambling's powerful lure on families and the region's social fabric, while others warned that slot machines would redirect people's finite disposable income from the local economy into the casino company's corporate coffers.
Such cautions never got much traction. The prospect of easy money became an unstoppable force.
Much was made of the prevalence of Ohio plates in Presque Isle Downs' parking lots, because whatever cash out-of-state gamblers left behind was a net plus for Erie County's economy. But the Cleveland casino has likely softened that market for good.
We'll get a read on the new normal by the end of the year when the numbers reflect a full year of the more competitive environment. The question isn't if, but by how much, Erie County's share of the take will drop.
What's striking, as that unfolds, is how thoroughly that money has been woven into the planning and finances of county government, not to mention the various civic facilities and institutions that receive annual grants. The casino pipeline didn't exist until six years ago, and now any major slowing in its flow would cause a world of hurt.
Demand for the money quickly expanded to meet the supply. Now it's helping to fuel, among other things, the extension of Erie International Airport's runway, the renovations to Erie Insurance Arena, and a new sprinkler system and water lines at Pleasant Ridge Manor-West.
There's no going back, in other words. So as Gov. Corbett looks for ways to increase the state's lottery take to meet greater need for the things it pays for, local government and nonprofit officials are rooting for Presque Isle Downs to limit its competitive losses so its money can keep covering everything that now depends on it.
Both situations reflect how gambling can be addictive in more ways than one. Government entities that develop the habit soon enough are dependent on a steady supply of people with a weakness for losing odds.
As Corbett suggested, whether it was a good idea in the first place is beside the point. In Erie County, like in Harrisburg, we're all in.
