The state agency that oversees rules and regulations for the oil and gas industry is considering proposals that would extend the minimum setback distances required between homes, schools and other buildings from new oil and gas well drilling operations.
While well-intended, that attention isn't exactly getting a warm reception from a diverse group of interested parties that includes farmers, cattlemen, energy councils, oil and gas officials, commerce and industry groups, and even Weld County officials.
Weld County Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer, who has been working with oil and gas issues in the county since the early 1990s, recently said in a Colorado Oil and Gas Association release the new setback proposals being considered by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission amount to a "draconian mandate from the state," one that will interfere with private property rights and the ability of local community officials to plan and manage land use decisions.
Kirkmeyer, while concerned about the tinkering with all setback distances, is especially disturbed by the 1,000-foot setback proposal being suggested by COGCC staff.
"One thousand feet, that's a lot of land," Kirkmeyer said last Tuesday. "That's about 72 acres that's being impacted. No one thought that through."
Kirkmeyer pointed out she and other Weld County officials have been working with ag land owners, real estate owners and the oil and gas industry for the past 20 years with little or no problems.
"We've been allowed to work things out," Kirkmeyer said. "And, we have pretty well. Has it been perfect? No. But, we have worked it out."
Kirkmeyer reiterated the current rules and regulations are working just fine.
"The requirements we need are in place," she said. "And, these are good regulations, tough regulations. Like our governor said, 'We have some of the most robust (oil and gas) rules in the country.' "
Kirkmeyer added the proposed setback changes will have a huge impact on farming, an $8 billion a year industry in Colorado. About 25 percent of state farming occurs in Weld County.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which has been considering changes to state setback requirements for some time, held a rulemaking hearing Nov. 14 to take public comment on the issue. That hearing has been continued to Dec. 10-11 at a site to be determined. Kirkmeyer said she will testify at that meeting.
COGCC hearings manager Bob Frick confirmed last week COGCC staff has already drafted some proposed setback changes for the commission to consider at that meeting. The commission will also consider alternate proposals from the public. Alternate proposals are due to the commission by Nov. 30.
"I'm pretty optimistic that some rules will be adopted in December," Frick said. Those changes, however, will require final approval from the Colorado Legislature before they can become official.
The COGCC staff proposals under consideration would require:
» All setbacks to be a minimum of 200 feet from any building, public road, major utility line, or railroad (changes to Rule 603).
» All setbacks to be not less than 150 feet from a surface property line (changes to Rule 603).
» Any drilling facility located within 350 feet or less of a building be designated in an exception zone, requiring property owners permission to be there (changes to Rule 604).
» Any drilling facility located within 1,000 feet or less of a building be designated in a buffer zone, requiring approval to be there (changes to Rule 604).
» COGCC approval is required for any drilling facility within 750 feet of a high occupancy building unit such as schools or hospitals (changes to Rule 604).
» A minimum setback of 350 feet from the boundary of a designated outside activity area (changes to Rule 604).
The current minimum setback requirements for drilling operations are 350 feet from homes and high density areas and 150 feet from buildings in rural areas.
The new setback proposals are the result of growing concerns by environmentalists and residents as drilling activity increases in the oil and gas-rich Niobrara shale formation, much of which lies in Weld County and northeastern Colorado.
Their concerns include noise, water and air pollution, and a variety of health and safety issues.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Association, speaking out for farmers, cattlemen, and the oil and gas industry, argues increasing the distance from an oil and gas facility to neighboring buildings has unintended but realistic impacts to the environment.
The COGA points out arbitrary setbacks will result in disturbing additional surface area, will cause greater impacts to natural resources and could impact property values and future land uses.
"We acknowledge that public interest is driving the call for increased setbacks, and we are interested in discussing the practices that can address these concerns in urban drilling," COGA president and CEO Tisha Schuller said recently in a prepared release. "At the same time, we cannot forget the stakeholders most affected by drilling. Any setback solution must acknowledge the legal, regulatory, and technical complexity of well-siting."
Farming industry leaders agree.
"Arbitrary setbacks result in the taking of private property — both that of the agriculture producer on the surface and the mineral owner below the surface," Colorado Farm Bureau president Don Shawcroft said in the same release. "Setbacks reduce the ability of the farmer and rancher to negotiate the proper placement of the oil and gas well so as to not disturb agricultural activities."
Cattlemen agree, too.
"Arbitrary setbacks will actually harm the environment, resulting in an ecological-takings by further fragmenting open space," Colorado Cattlemen's Association president T. Wright Dickinson said. "Limiting landowners' ability to strike the necessary balance of well placement with the protection agriculture viability and environmental conservation threatens society's access to affordable food, open space and energy."
And, there is a lot of flowback against any consideration of a 1,000-foot setback.
"If Colorado were to transition from its nuanced and thoughtfully created setbacks requirement to a 'one size fits all' 1,000-foot limit, the negative economic impact to our state would be substantial," Colorado Association of Commerce & Industry Governmental Affairs Representative Carly Dollar said. "From increasing the costs of current practices, to devaluing property, to hindering projects that are already under way, such a proposal would hurt a variety of businesses and employers, and without cause."

Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi Explains How She Lost 44 Lbs. After Baby
Just five months after giving birth to son Lorenzo, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi says she's shed the 44 lbs. she gained during her pregnancy.
"Right now I'm 109 lbs., and I've been working out with a trainer since Halloween," Polizzi, 25, told PEOPLE at Logo's season 5 premiere party for RuPaul's Drag Race in New York on Friday. "I go four times a week, and we do legs, arms and everything. And after every one-hour workout, I do an hour of cardio."
But she's the first to admit earning her post-baby body was hard work.
"It wasn't easy. I'm still working my ass off, but it's all worth it," she says. "I'm now motivated and I want to change my body. It's a good feeling to work out because I feel much better. Plus, my guy Jionni likes it."
As for wedding planning, Polizzi, who got engaged early last year, has no plans to walk down the aisle any time soon.
"We're not ready right now. We need our house first. We're still living in [Jionni's] basement," she said. "We already bought land, but they still have to knock down the trees and build. So it's probably going to take a year and a half to two years. Once we get our house, we'll do all the planning for the wedding and worry about those things later."
Although wedding planning may be in the future, one thing Polizzi can't wait to do is expand her family.
"I want to pop out another baby right now! I'm hoping for twins this time," she said. "It would be cool to have my kids to grow up close in age, so that's my plan. I don't want to wait to have kids."
But for now, Polizzi is taking things one day at a time.
"I'm so happy with everything in my life," she said. "I love being a mom and I love my son. My life is awesome."

Noted as the dean of the Civil Rights Movement for his legendary work with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Rev. Joseph Lowery told a gathering of civic and community leaders in Detroit Sunday evening that President Obama ushered in a new reality for the nation and the world.
Lowery, who gave the benediction at Obama's historic inauguration as the first Black president of the United States, was speaking Dec. 6 at Fellowship Chapel for the Peace and Justice Banquet hosted by Central United Methodist Church.
Lowery said America has had three fathers before the dawn of Obama, citing George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Dr. King. He further went on to say that "I would argue that Obama is the fourth father of the nation. I believe that God in His infinite wisdom seeks time and time again to help us and give us a new beginning."
Central United Methodist Church, which held the banquet that is now in its fifth year to honor individuals who are fighting for social justice causes, also used the occasion to begin the church's 200-year anniversary.
"You have the challenge to make the next 200 years more powerful," Lowery said. "Each of us has a calling as particular members of the community of faith and members of the coalition of the conscious. I challenge you to not let this call pass."
Lowery, who was one of the first leaders of the Civil Rights Movement to come out early in the campaign to support the candidacy of President Obama, certainly does not his choice.
"I supported Barack early not because I was so smart but because God was giving us a new beginning," Lowery said. "When we fought for voting rights in the 1960s, none of us ever dreamed we would live to see this day."
Lowery cited examples of how he would visit college campuses in 2007 talking to students and faculty members about Obama and his promise of a new America.
This year Lowery was among an array of international icons at the White House including former South African Archbishop and anti-apartheid activist Desmond Tutu to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.

Protecting Your Home Computer 101
Protecting Your Home Computer 101
Zombies, Botnets, Hackers, Malware, Drive-by Downloads... you can't surf the Internet these days without hearing about the bad guys. While surfing the web may seem intimidating, there are some simple key steps everyone can take with their home computers to reduce their overall risk.
Keep Your Operating System Up to Date
Computer operating systems are periodically updated to stay in tune with technology requirements and to fix security holes. Be sure to install the updates to ensure your computer has the latest updates from the manufacturer. Check for new updates weekly and install all critical updates.
Install & Update Your Antivirus Software
Antivirus software is designed to prevent malicious software programs from embedding on your computer. If it detects malicious code, like a virus or a worm, it works to disarm or remove it. Viruses can infect computers without the user's knowledge. Most types of antivirus software can be set up to update and protect automatically. Remember – your antivirus software is only as good as its last update, so make sure it's being updated daily.
Keep Your Firewall Turned On
A firewall helps protect your computer from outsiders who might try to gain access to crash it, delete information, or even steal passwords or other sensitive information. Software firewalls are widely recommended for single computers. Firewall software is typically included with most current day operating systems or can be purchased for individual computers.
Be Careful What You Download
Carelessly downloading email attachments or software from unscrupulous websites can circumvent even the most vigilant antivirus software. Never open an email attachment from someone you don't know, and be wary of forwarded attachments from people you do – they may have unwittingly advanced malicious code.
Use a Standard User Account
Using a standard user account can help protect your computer by preventing users from making changes that affect everyone who uses the computer. For typical everyday web surfing and emailing, the standard user account is more than sufficient. You should only log in to the Administrator account for tasks that require it; such as hardware of software installation or making changes to other user accounts. Set up a standard user account for everyone in your home and implement a strong password on the Administrator account. Help on setting up user accounts at home for a few of the more popular operating systems can be found at the following sites:
Microsoft Windows 7
Turn Off Your Computer
With the growth of the high-speed Internet connections, many of us opt to leave our computers on and ready for action. The downside is that being "always on" renders computers more susceptible. Beyond firewall protection, which is designed to fend off unwanted attackers, turning the computer off effectively severs an attacker's connection – be it spyware or a botnet that employs your computer's resources to reach out to other unwitting users.

Wondering what to do for the school holidays? Go on a fully guided private family safari. Let the kids discover nature on our private 4 day Families Choice Safari Package. Under the guidance of an expert guide discover all that the diverse Kruger Park has to offer.
Save time and stress by flying into the Kruger, where you will be met by an experienced guide who will take care of everything, including all the meals and driving. This gives you more time to relax, have fun and spend quality time together while enjoying excellent game viewing.
Let your children be inspired and learn about nature while on our 4 day Families Choice Safari Package. Accompanied by a friendly, knowledgeable guide, explore the winding roads of the Kruger National Park and see its amazing wildlife. Safety of your little ones is foremost, and the guide is highly trained and will tailor the experience to suit the children's ages and interests.
Have the kids seen the movie Madagascar? Let them see Marty the Zebra, Alex the Lion and Melman the Giraffe in the wild while on exciting game drives. The guide will show them smaller creatures such as magical Chameleons and Rhino Beetles. This safari allows you to relax and spend quality time together as a family.
In the evenings after dinner served at your accommodation, let the kids (and adults) have fun trying not to burn their fingers while roasting marshmallows. For dessert, S'mores? Yes please! Afterwards fall asleep in your comfortable bed surrounded by the gentle sounds of the African night.
With the kids bouncing in their seats set out on your Kruger Family Safari on a flight from Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo International Airport to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport. Once you have landed, and retrieved dropped toys, you will be transferred to Kruger National Park. Watch the kids delight at their first sighting of a tall Giraffe or magical Chameleon on an exciting game drive. Your guide will actively engage their attention to the smaller critters such as a Dung Beetle, the scurrying Mongoose or Hornbill.
The game drive will be short with strategic loo breaks. You will stop for lunch (on your own account). In the late afternoon arrive at the fenced camp and settle into your bungalow. The children can play and explore camp while Mum and Dad relax and enjoy a refreshing drink. Delight in a tasty meal served at your accommodation and talk about all the exciting things you have seen. Then the kids can get a good night's sleep. (Dinner Included)
Over the next two days, you will have coffee / tea and rusks (biscuits) before climbing aboard the safari vehicle and heading out in search of animals. See eagles and other fantastic birdlife; watch as the guide tracks animals such as Lion and Elephant.
Return to camp for breakfast and for some leisure time and make use of the camp facilities.
Perhaps cool off with a swim in the pool or play games with the children. Head out to explore around camp spotting birds, monkeys and interesting bugs. You can choose to go on a late afternoon game drive before returning to camp and having a tasty supper. (Breakfast and Dinner Included)
On the final day of your safari, set out on one last game drive and take a few last photos before having a delicious breakfast back at your accommodation. You will get transferred back to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport for your return flight back to Johannesburg. (Breakfast Included)
Safety of your little ones is important to us. Your guide will be highly trained and experienced and will tailor your experience to suit your children's ages and interests.

Lubbock, Texas
Lubbock is an American city in the state of Texas. Located in the northwestern part of the state, a region known historically as the Llano Estacado, it is the county seat of Lubbock County, and the home of Texas Tech University.
Lubbock's nickname is the "Hub City" which derives from being the economic, education, and health care hub of a multi-county region commonly called the South Plains. The area is the largest contiguous cotton-growing region in the world and is heavily dependent on irrigation water drawn from the Ogallala Aquifer.

The tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico that showed signs of organizing on Friday has weakened into a tropical wave overnight. This means the chances of it becoming a tropical storm are now near zero percent.
This low-pressure system could nonetheless have a significant effect on our weather as it moves westward across the Gulf of Mexico and into Texas late tonight and on Sunday, most notably by bringing some rain and cooling temperatures off — Friday's high was 97 degrees, our warmest temperature in 10 days.
The region's rain chances will be highest on Sunday and Monday, especially for locations closer to the coast. Here's a look at the latest rainfall accumulation forecast for the event:
Coastal areas such as Galveston could also see some gusty winds on Sunday afternoon.
Rain chances begin falling off by Tuesday, and at this point the middle and second-half of next week look quite steamy. In fact it's possible we could see highs reaching near, and possibly all the way to, 100 degrees as high pressure settles back over the area.
So enjoy the weather this weekend in the low- to mid-90s.

With the finesse of a school teacher or a professional tour guide, Becky Safarik maneuvered to the front of one of Greeley's buses Friday and instructed those onboard to pull out a cottonwood stick from their goodie bags.
Demonstrating with her own, Safarik, Greeley's assistant city manager, snapped the stick in half at the "knuckle," revealing a star formation on the inside that once prompted Native Americans in the area to believe that breaking the stick would release stars into the sky.
Like kids on a field trip, the 20 or so people on Greeley's second "G. Town Tour" passed the broken cottonwood around with interest as Safarik explained that Island Grove Regional Park — one of the stops on Friday's tour — is known for its plethora of cottonwood trees.
The Natural Places and Open Spaces tour was the second of six free tours Greeley officials scheduled this year to get residents and visitors to tout the good things about Greeley. Spread across 22 points of interest, from Lincoln Park downtown — where original settlers of what was then Union Colony cemented sea shells and other pieces of their hometowns into a stone fountain that still sits there today — to the Poudre Learning Center, Friday's tour was in high demand.
"I tried to get on the first one, but it was full," 23-year-old Aiden Levy, a student in Fort Collins, said of the first tour. After he started working more in Greeley, Levy said he thought the tours would give him a better taste of the city.
Safarik said slots on single buses for the tours filled up almost immediately, so the city added extras.
"We thought, if 22 people signed up, we could fill one bus and we would be good," she said. "We have people signed up for every tour all year."
On Friday, four buses caravanned to the different points of interest, with a total of about 55 participants. If the interest is still there next year, Safarik the city could start offering tours on the weekends, and she said a bank and a mortgage company have approached her about paying for a charter bus for their employees to go on the tour.
With city employees who double as tour guides and money in the transit budget for bus use outside of running their routes, the tours are pretty thrifty, Safarik said. Each participant gets a goody bag, complete with a string cheese sample from Leprino Foods, maps of Greeley's parks and open spaces and other city-related media.
Many of those on the bus exclaimed at Safarik's comment that Greeley has 40 parks in city limits, and nearly all of them at some point pointed out a place that they had not noticed before.
"I didn't know where that place was," said DeChantal Lucas, 63, as Safarik pointed out Sunrise Community Clinic in north Greeley.
The architecture of the clinic, Safarik explained, is meant to match the new development goals of a Hispanic Mercado District near the 11th Avenue corridor.
While the focus of Friday's tour was on open spaces, Safarik took advantage of passing the Sunrise Clinic and other places to talk about what else is going on in Greeley, from the Farmer's Market to an annual fishing derby at Sanborn Park. At nearly every stop, she had a nugget of information that delighted at least one participant.
"I walk back around that park all the time, and I didn't know that," Lucas said as Safarik rattled off details about Promontory Park in west Greeley.
"I've lived here this long, and everything has grown so much in the time I've been here," said Lucas, who has lived in Greeley for 36 years. In that time, she said she has yet to explore much of it. "This is the perfect opportunity to do that."

Academic/personal services
Academic and Personal Services
The following is basic information you should know about academic policies and support along with some of the personal services like insurance and counseling that we provide students.
Adding, dropping and withdrawing from classes
Students may add classes until about one week into the semester. As of the first day of class, students must receive instructor permission to add a class. A student may also drop a class during the first week, and the transcript will not indicate that the student has been enrolled in that class. After the "drop" date until the 11th week of class, students may withdraw from courses and will receive a mark of "W." A "W" does not affect the GPA. In case of illness or injury, family members may initiate a withdrawal from classes. The Dean of Students should be contacted in this circumstance. Students who fail to attend classes will not necessarily be dropped from the class (this is up to the instructor during the first week of class). Students are responsible for making certain that classes which they decide not to take have actually been dropped. However, before dropping or withdrawing from courses, students should consult with an advisor. This is especially true for students receiving scholarships, grants or federal financial aid since dropping below full-time status (12 hours) at any point in the semester may result in major financial consequences.
We plan to have grade reports available to students on the Web at the end of each term (specific dates are included in the Important Dates handout). Transcripts are not issued to students who have outstanding financial or other obligations to the college.
Dean's List
The Dean's List is an academic honor list computed after fall and spring semesters. To qualify for the list, students must complete at least 12 graded credit hours (credit/no credit classes don't count) and achieve a 3.5 or higher grade point average (GPA) for the term.
Academic advising and registration
The START Center is the academic advising office for all entering and undeclared students. START Center advisors will meet with freshmen through their first year. Students are encouraged to make advising appointments before each registration period for the following semester. At the end of the freshman year, students who have decided on a major may request that they be assigned to a faculty advisor in that program. By the time students reach junior status, they must meet with a faculty advisor and formally declare their major. Nursing and Education students are assigned faculty advisors when they are admitted to those programs.
Among other things academic advisors will help students clarify their goals; assist in developing educational plans and selecting appropriate courses; inform students about educational and support resources on campus; and answer questions about the college in general. While the college provides a strong support network for first year students, they must also learn to take the initiative in getting the information and help that they need. Parents can support students in this process by encouraging them to use the START Center and other campus resources. A list of these resources is included in this packet.
Academic problems
If students are having difficulty with a class, we encourage them to talk with their instructors. All faculty have weekly open office hours for individual consultations with students; professors generally spend many additional hours working with students outside of class. Free tutoring for many courses is also available through the START Center. The college has an academic early warning program in which faculty identify any students missing or doing poorly in class before the midterm point of each semester. These students are notified by letter and are invited to meet with START Center advisors to identify resources that can help them improve their grades. Residential students are also contacted by student services staff for further follow up.
Probation and suspension
Students failing to achieve good academic standing during a semester are placed on academic probation. The GPA needed for good standing depends on the total number of credit hours students have attempted at Westminster:
All students are notified by letter if they are placed on probation (it is not indicated on their grade report). While on probation, students may not be enrolled in more than 13 semester hours. Probationary students are assigned a student services advisor who will contact them to review schedules, refer to appropriate campus resources, and follow up with students throughout the semester.
When students in academic difficulty are confronted by parents, they sometimes claim they were never told they were on probation. Although the college cannot share grades or probationary information with you, please be assured that we are as concerned as you about your student's academic performance. Every effort is made to identify problems early, to follow up with resources and academic assistance, and to notify students of their academic status.
To be returned to good standing, students must meet required semester and cumulative GPAs. This applies only to fall, spring and summer terms (May term is not included). Students who fail to earn the minimum GPA required for good standing during a probationary semester are suspended from the college. Students may not register for any classes while suspended and must remain out of the college for one or more regular semesters. Suspended students must appeal for readmission. Students who meet semester grade point average requirements, but not cumulative grade point average requirements, may be considered for continued probationary status rather than suspension if the term grade point average shows substantial progress toward meeting all grade point average requirements.
Academic standards and satisfactory progress for financial aid
To continue to receive an academic scholarship, a student generally must maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA. To receive a grant, a student must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA. To maintain satisfactory progress for federal financial aid, students must complete at least 70 percent of the semester credit hours for which they enrolled and maintain a 2.0 GPA after 28 credit hours are completed. Student records are reviewed at the end of each academic year (end of May term).
May Term
May term is a four week term following spring semester. Payment of full-time tuition for fall semester 20009 entitles undergraduate students to two credit hours during 2010 May term without additional charge. Payment of full-time tuition for spring semester 2010 entitles students to an additional two credit hours for a maximum of four free hours for 2010 May term. The college residence halls remain open during May for those students registered for May term, and there is no additional room charge for students who have paid room and board charges for spring semester. Students remaining on campus during May should budget their meal plan accounts to include the extra month: no additional money is put on student accounts. However, money left over from fall and spring semesters will roll over to May if the student continues to live on campus.
Services for students with disabilities
Westminster provides equal access to academically qualified students with disabilities. To access services students must meet with the disabilities advisor in the START Center and provide documentation of their disability. Once eligibility is established, students work with their advisor to determine what individualized services are appropriate. More information about services for students with disabilities is provided on the enclosed handout with that title.
Personal Services
Health Insurance
Counseling Services
Counseling services are available to all registered students through the Counseling Center. Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, alcohol and drug problems, and family dysfunction are some of the common reasons for seeking counseling services. Services are provided in a comfortable office in the lower level of Shaw. It is confidential and provided at no charge. Appointments may be scheduled in person, by telephone, or email.

Questions or Concerns
If you are concerned about your student's academic experience or have questions about Westminster Policies or procedures, please start with the Dean of Students Office at 801-832-2230.
As a reminder, we cannot share specific information about students without their written consent. We will do whatever we can, however, to explain policies, offer suggestions or resources, and refer you to the appropriate person or office if we don't have the answers.

CHARLES TOWN - What started out as a response to customers' requests has turned into a bit of boom for Final Cut steakhouse at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races.
Through the bottling of three of its sauces - Herb Ketchup, Steak Sauce and Meyer Lemon Cocktail sauce - Final Cut allows its customers to take at least one element of the experience of dining out home.
Brian Collins, executive chef for Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races, says that the venture started small and has grown steadily.
Article Photos
"We started with a small batch of 15 gallons of each sauce and now we're doing 120-gallon batches to keep up with the demand," Collins said. "The reaction has been so great that we're considering expanding to other products."
The sauces are made from scratch at Final Cut, which meant that one of the biggest challenges to bottling the product was making sure that it was true to what you would find in a restaurant.
Through trial and error in working with Frooper's Gourmet Central, a bottler out of Romney, Collins achieved the desired result.
Fact Box
Meyer Lemon Cocktail Sauce
Due to a fear of horseradish in general, I've always had a reluctance to use cocktail sauce on seafood in most cases.
The Meyer Lemon Cocktail Sauce was a pleasant surprise, however. Instead of wearing your taste buds out with the flavor of horseradish, this sauce uses the sweetness of Meyer Lemons to complement seafood, which is a genius move. Lemon juice and fish are a better match than horseradish and fish any day. There is horseradish in this sauce but it's not the first thing you think of when you taste it. It's a perfect mix of sweet, tangy and salty.
Steak Sauce
The rosemary and thyme come through in this sauce and it adds a refined flavor that's a nice complement to any steak. This sauce also contains a classic ingredient in any steak sauce anchovies. Collins said that the anchovies help the balance and that the anchovies in the Final Cut sauces are a cut above of what you might find elsewhere.
"It helps to balance the flavors of the sweet and savory spices," Collins said. "Anchovy is an ingredient in most well-known steak sauces, but what sets us apart is the use of fresh white anchovies instead of canned salt-cured anchovies."
Herb Ketchup
Like the steak sauce, the essence of rosemary and thyme come through in this condiment. There's more of a tomato base to it in comparison to the steak sauce, but it has a lot of the same complementary effects on a burger that the steak sauce has on a steak - which makes this sauce a successful effort.
-Justin Griffin
"Our goal was to make them taste as good bottled as they do when they're first prepared," Collins said. "After going back and forth in the bottling process about a dozen times, I think we achieved that and more."
Collins said that the flavors and the stability might have even been improved by the whole process.
"We spent about a year perfecting the bottled sauces and the result is rounded flavors that stay fresh longer, and taste even better than their original versions," Collins said. "The sauces we're selling now are the exact ones being served in our Final Cut Steakhouse, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome."
As Collins explained, the process of bottling the ingredients added a level of flavor.
"The bottled sauces actually taste better because the flavors are more blended," he said.
The sauces are $6 a bottle and are currently available in the casino gift shop, at the hostess stand at Final Cut Steakhouse and at the hotel gift shop.
While the sauces are currently available exclusively at Final Cut, the casino and the hotel, Collins is open to other modes of distribution.
"They're selling really well, so we're definitely open to selling them elsewhere," Collins said. "We're also looking into expanding the line to include other items, like dry spice rubs or hot sauces."

Motorola DROID, Apple iPhone 3GS and Palm Pre: side by side
Smartphones can do so many things that can aid you on a daily basis, one of them being email ready right out of the box. All of three have the ability to setup just about any kind of email service right on the phone; including support for Microsoft Exchange. At the core, all work relatively the same in being able to compose and send out messages. Apple has been perfecting its email application with each new update – it can even search for keywords in your folders to narrow down specific messages. On top of that, you can use certain finger gestures to easily delete multiple emails. The Palm Pre takes a similar approach to what's offered on the iPhone 3GS – everything is intact including the search function to browse emails. The one advantage it does have is just the flexibility to open multiple cards to read or even reply to an email – it takes the hassle of having to close one thing out just to look at another. The Motorola DROID steers off the path with two separate applications to access your emails. Hands down the DROID implements Gmail to the fullest thanks to its superb replication of the desktop experience. Your emails in Gmail are viewed in a threaded format which makes it really simple to view messages you've replied to and read. In addition, there's a whole separate application to view your other emails – we still scratch our heads as to why this is so. You can choose to combine your inboxes to one which is broken down by a color coding system. Now on the downside is the fact that the DROID requires to constantly pull emails from the server to view them on the phone. Unlike the Pre and iPhone 3GS where messages are downloaded and stored locally on the handset, the DROID has to download them on the go as you move through your long list of messages. Even though it's a champ when it comes to Gmail, the Pre and iPhone 3GS have a much more versatile email applications.
The iPhone 3GS may not sport a physical keyboard, but that doesn't stop it from being able to dish out messages in a heartbeat. When it comes to on-screen keyboards, the iPhone 3GS is still the leader in that category. Not only does it have the most responsive and usable on-screen keyboards, but its predictive text is also the smartest – it'll literally know what you're trying to say even with all the mispresses you might do. When the S stands for speed, you can recognize that the iPhone 3GS flies when you're trying to type a long message.
It may seem a bit unorthodox to see a touchscreen phone missing an on-screen keyboard option, but the Palm Pre's compact form factor will reveal a decent tactile physical QWERTY that shares some commonalities with its older siblings. Buttons are a bit smaller and just slightly raised from the surface, but don't let its looks fool you because it works well for the most part. However, you'll still rely on using the tip of your fingernails to really make out each button press. We've seen a hacked Palm Pre sporting an on-screen keyboard before, but we hope that Palm will release one down the road as WebOS matures.
When it comes to messaging, we feel that the best balanced out of the three is the Motorola DROID. Combining both a physical and virtual QWERTY keyboards, the DROID takes some key points from the other two handsets in its implementation. The QWERTY is a lot roomier than the cramped confines on the Pre, but its decent tactile feel makes typing a breeze too. It's really tough to gauge which physical keyboard is better just for the fact that one is in portrait and other in landscape. Whichever one you decide to go with, you'll eventually get adjusted to the feel and layout after a period of time. The DROID's on-screen keyboard is one of the better ones offered for the Android platform, but still not up to the level in terms of responsiveness that the iPhone 3GS exudes.
Web Browser:
Data usage has exploded since the original iPhone arrived on the scene with its smooth looking WebKit based web browser. Throw in a fast processor to easily make scrolling a smooth experience and support for multi-touch; you get the market leader in mobile web browsing that still manages to impress just about anyone with the iPhone 3GS.
The Pre follows a similar path with its web browser - although it doesn't quite have the pep in speed to rival what the iPhone 3GS offers. You can visually compare the intuitiveness of scrolling long pages at every direction and see that the Pre has a somewhat choppier experience. Still it doesn't deter us from the overall experience and easily name it as the best device on Sprint's network for web browsing. Of course switching between multiple pages is better visually on the Pre thanks to its multi-tasking prowess and the fact you can rearrange them in any order you want.
The Motorola DROID is easily, of course, the best Android phone to date for web browsing. Omitting multi-touch support may be glaring at first, but its lightning quick page loads and seamless scrolling makes for a decent experience. With some impressive hardware powering the handset, the DROID is capable of also opening multiple windows without a hitch in performance.
So far there is no true Adobe Flash support for all three handsets, but both the iPhone 3GS and Motorola DROID displays YouTube embedded links to watch videos. The iPhone 3GS does the best to resize a web page for the most optimal viewing on a touchscreen. In addition, it loads up pages super fast which is closely rivaled to the Motorola DROID. These devices are the cream of the crop on their perspective carriers, so they perfectly emulate the desktop experience on a mobile level.

why do any comparisons at all the last two i looked at did not come to a complete conclusion. I can compare a 1985 mustang and a 2006 tacoma and tell you what i think is better. It does not matter what or when they came compare how it is today its easy.

overall not a bad review. They tried to stick to the facts. Only getting lost in the Iphone 2-3 times. However, at the end They awarded the Iphone the Multimedia phone. Which i would very much disagree with. Itunes is the worst Music program, a open system with the ability to play any music file type is far superior. Plus, during the review the droid got more praise for its video player and options(this is still considered multimedia right?). Also, the droid received credit for having the best speaker, which i feel is very much in the multimedia area. When comparing the cameras, phoneareana failed to mention that the Droid has a nice LED flash. Now, I have not had a problem being able to find the app i'm looking for in the android market. 50,000 or 100,000 it doesn't much matter at that point, everything after that is a duplicate anyway, and all the new intuitive apps will more than likely be releasing on android because of apples strict filters on their app store. Now I have reviewed the review. And I think the droid has surpassed the Iphone in nearly every way. The only thing left is opinion, which for the most part can not be changed. but facts are facts, and they seam to stack up in the droids favor.

It looked like the iphone won to me. The droid is great but you guys are getting ahead of yourselves. How many iphone killers are there going to be! Part of me is just hoping that a phone comes out of nowhere and beats the iphone so we can get this over with. I mean some of you guys even called the Storm an iphone killer. Come on. Verizon is probably already preparing for their next Android device. And based on the pictures taken, I'd say the iphone's picture quality look the best. Just look at the color of the pictures, even in low light. And if a developer had to choose between developing for Android or Apple, they would go for Apple because there are so many iPod touches and iPhones that are out there and growing everyday around the world. And one thing that they like is the uniformity. If you develop for one, most likely it will work for every single one out there. You can't say that for Android. Some graphic intense games on the Droid (if there are any) probably won't work for the Eris and the G1. Take Gameloft for an example. Although they receive 13% of their profits from Android, it probably costs them more to pay their laborers to convert each of their games to work with each Android device. (That has to be the reason why they are not making any more apps for Android because I don't see why Gameloft would drop that 13% of profit) And I hear that Android won't only make smartphones because they want all phone users to be able to customize. That's tears up the uniformity even more. And everyone keeps on saying that the Android app store will grow and grow very soon. But sadly, that's the same exact thing the Pre owners were saying. And I guess I can stop talking about how bad the iPhone's battery life is because it looks like it is much better than the Pre's and Droid's. And they didn't emphasize how bad the keyboard sucked. On the Droid website it boasted about having the thinnest keyboard in the world, but it stinks really. It probably would have even helped them out if they made it a little bit more thicker. And after two years the iphone still has the best online keyboard and easy to use interface? Really? Still? And everyone keeps complaining that its outdated. If these phones can't beat an outdated phone, then that makes everything even more sad. And its a good thing that the Droid users have removeable battery because I'm reading that removing the battery often to fix problems is not uncommon. And is backgrounds really featured on the Android Market? More than a year later and backgrounds is featured on their market? That app is so done now. I wouldn't call it useless, but its bordering that area.

The Iphone doesn't have the high specs that the droid and the droid is also on Verizon It's like comparing an off the line Ford Mustang to an off the line Dodge Challenger. The challenger is gonna win cause of specs are just better and plus with the Iphone on AT@T network it's like the mustang will lose spark at random times lol, stupid metaphors Iphoneluv just except it, the Iphone is beaten this time by the droid. Plus if Verizon gets the Palm Pre next year like rumored then Verizon will have two Iphone challengers, and with the htc dragon/passion that means Verizon will have at least 3 Iphone challengers. Meaning Verizon will definitely draw a lot of attention from AT&T and the Iphone

Well said smartphonelover. The Droid is the clear winner, without question. So iphoners, when's your next Droid killer coming out? DROID FTW
31. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Since when has anyone cared about the high specs of the iPhone? That's not why so many people like it. But I'm pretty confused why the iPhone renders web pages faster while the Droid falls behind the Pre, even with the highest specs. And why does the Picture quality not look as good as the iPhone or even the pre? Go specs!

all you iphone lovers got it all wrong the droid is not an iphone killer but it is an iphone competitor
33. vzwman (Posts: 385; Member since: 26 Oct 2009)
E.N. im sorry to say that your full of crap you obviously dont know squat about the performance any of the three smartphones mentioned in this article
34. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
BS. I probably know much more than you.
36. vzwman (Posts: 385; Member since: 26 Oct 2009)
i own 2 droids my brother has an iphone 3gs and a friend of mine owns a pre from sprint oh and not to mention my droid eris NIB havent opened it yet
38. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Okay? What does that prove. You know a lot of people with phones. I'm happy for you. That doesn't mean you know more. You probably still think that the web browsing on the Droid is better than the iPhone. And why would you have two droids and an Eris?
40. Quemical (Posts: 162; Member since: 14 Jul 2009)
"But I'm pretty confused why the iPhone renders web pages faster while the Droid falls behind the Pre, even with the highest specs. And why does the Picture quality not look as good as the iPhone or even the pre? Go specs!" Are you KIDDING ME? As far as rendering, CDMA 3G and THE FASTEST PROCCESSOR AVAILABLE + webkit = PWNGE, have fun surfing on GSM! PICTURE QUALITY????? Do you know anything about the DROID???? How about 720p Bluray video on my Droid, I just compared to my brothers Iphone and its not even close!!! Its sad really how much you are in denial. You could make an argument for speed but picture? Thats just being woefully ignorant.
41. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Go back and read the review. Look at the video of the web browsers and tell me which is better of the three phones. Look at what phonearena wrote inregards to speed and data rendering. Look at the pictures phonearena took and then come back and we'll see what else you can scream about. It's not like I made this up what I said out of nowhere. And again you're throwing out specs that I dont really care about. All I know is that the pictures taken by phonearena on the iPhone 3GS looks better than the Droids. (We all know that the Droid's video quality is superior. I was talking about the photo camera.) Everything I jsut said came out of this review. So if you're going to get mad, get mad at the information and video posted. The Droid has two processors and that's the best it could do with web browsing? Please point out what else I said that was incorrect.
43. vzwman (Posts: 385; Member since: 26 Oct 2009)
I own two droids cuz of the simple fact that it's an awesome phone (one is mine and the other my wife's duhh) and the Eris is just to add to my collection -lg dare -lg voyager -lg env touch -blackberry storm -samsung omnia -2 motodroids -and last but not least HTC droid Eris
56. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
your fanboyism doesnt change the fact that the iphone is pretty much the same as it has been for 3 years. it is outdated and old. its been replaced my Android handsets left and right that can do more, better.
59. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Okay, Sparky (E.N.), let's review your review of the review of the review. 1. There have been exactly TWO "Iphone killers" Verizon has released. One was the Blackberry Storm (which was FAIL, admittedly) and now the Droid. As fast as the Droid is selling, and considering that as dead as my store is I've already sold two (and seen plenty more go to the direct store down the street to buy it) I'd say we have a winner here. Add to this that the Droid, unlike the Storm, has had ZERO performance crippling bugs and very few returns relative to the Storm, that's saying quite a lot. 2. yes, Verizon is working on more Android devices, but they're all more "budget" phones so far. 3. You obviously haven't fact checked before spouting off your predictions about the app market. The Android app market has doubled in size since the DROID premiered, from 10,000 to 20,000 apps. This puts it at roughly a fifth of the size of the Apple market, which has been around for THREE YEARS. The picture quality at good light levels on the Droid were the best looking out of the three. And the video quality on the Droid is excellent. 4. Your statement that "13 percent of Gameloft's profits come from Android" followed by the statement that they lose that profit paying people to convert apps is demonstrably stupid because it reveals your absolute ignorance of economic terms. PROFIT is the money you have left over AFTER costs, INCLUDING costs of labor for any app conversion. So that 13 percent is perfectly intact. Also, since the battery is usually the first thing to die on any phone, it's a good thing that the Droid has a removable one, because you don't have to throw the phone away and get a new one when the cells blow on it. So, E.N., you're obviously totally biased in favor of the Iphone. I sell Verizon products, and I'm not afraid to admit the Iphone would be a cool addition to our lineup. It's a good phone, it works well, most people love it. But the Droid is King, and it's coming to claim its throne.
60. haste_the_day (Posts: 5; Member since: 27 Dec 2009)
@ E.N. - Not to mention that rendering pages on a smartphone work off the processor speed as well as the network connected to it. Beat, and beat. And if you have anything to show otherwise as far as specs, please, post them, bc i have yet to see anything showing otherwise.
62. DonkeyPunched (Posts: 321; Member since: 10 Jan 2010)
LMAO I like seeing you verizon fanboys get all crazy. It's hilarious. By far, Verizon is the most communist company out of all four of the major ones. Yea, their coverage is definitely great, by far, but their customer service is complete crap. And they just doubled their cancellation fees? Ridiculous. I'd rather use Sprint if you wanna say CDMA is better. Plus where do you all live anyway? Whenever I have a problem with reception with AT&T, everyone else has reception problems with every other service (why did I pick friends who I can't get mobile to mobile with...) AND, I love being able to use all the foreign phones that CDMA users can't use. 80% of the world is GSM, not CDMA, so suck it. But anyways, phone wise, I will say the Droid is a great phone as well, so I'm not gonna try to hate on it much, but I can't get over the iPhone, along with the majority of users that use iPhones. I absolutely see no reason to switch to a Droid. And sorry, I'm just gonna leave the Pre out of the game because we can all agree right now it just can't compete yet till it starts updating and making a better variety of hardware. To clarify, I'm probably like most of the commenters on here. I have something different from what everyone uses. When the first iPhone came out, I bought it and was so happy. Now that everyone has an iPhone, it turned me off. I currently do not use the iPhone because I wanted a phone no one else would have, so I bought the LG Crystal and I'm actually satisfied right now. Just to clear this too, iPhone pictures kick ass. People can say "oh droid has more megapixels." I have found the more megapixels, the crappier they look, out of experience. And no one wants a big crappy picture. iPhone apps win hands down. Yes, there are pointless apps, but they literally do have an app for everyone. I'm fed up of people trying to hate on it. No matter what, the facts stand out and show the Apple App Store definitely wins. At least for now... Biggest standpoint, the syncing. Someone said iTunes is the worst program. WTF are they talking about? Browsing, syncing, updating, ect., is amazing. Go ask people about what Android syncs with and I'm sure most won't answer that. Apple was smart to include their music service to their phone because everyone and their mom already owns an iPod. Docking the iPhone is even easier because it can hook up to many iPod things such as alarm clocks, car stereos, rechargeable batteries, ect. I'm more likely to find a way to charge or play with my iPhone at someone else's place rather than a Droid. Also, I hate the Droid keyboard. I will say, I wish an iPhone would come out with a keyboard, but the Droid's keyboard definitely didn't cut it. It feels so cheap and crappy. Watching CES, I actually think the backflip looks good. I think the Milestone will be pretty awesome too, but honestly, I think I don't want my phone to look so sophisticated because I'll freak out about the scratches every second of the day, but ANYWAYS... I am open to every OS I'll say. I love the customization you can do on the Droid, multitasking, and the thing you do when you bring the top bar down and see notifications. That's pretty awesome. I mean, I probably could jailbreak an iPhone and do that, but I prefer not to do that...Apple is communist too at times :] Overall...I just can't wait for the next iPhone. I'm hoping for them to shut everyone up for another 2 years.

where was the comparison with coverage? i was at the hospital yesterday and it was hilarious my uncle asked to see my droid so he could search on the internet, while he did that i was playing with his iphone and couldnt do nothing but play one of his games he already had. droid wins by a mile, i guess by balance they meant 80% opinion
6. Iphoneluv (Posts: 59; Member since: 13 Nov 2009)
Iphone rules!! The pre, droid and anything else that comes out unless it is the 4th gen Iphone will continue to fall short.......Iphoneluv Out!!
8. rockstar323 (Posts: 20; Member since: 15 Jan 2009)
I've owned all 3 phones, and the Droid is by far the superior device. lol @ 4th gen iPhone, all they will add to it is maybe a flash for the camera and maybe some new colors.
10. Literati (Posts: 17; Member since: 22 Oct 2009)
rockstar323, you can't fix stupid. Let this guy continue to live in his time vortex.
27. smartphonelover (Posts: 37; Member since: 26 Nov 2009)
The Iphone's interface just makes me feel stupid. The Droid or the Pre actually makes you think a little instead of going through a boring interface that's simple enough for a toddler. It kinda bores me, if everything was like the Iphone's interface then I'd just try to learn how to hack the device and make it more complex to use.
12. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
i thought it was a great phone comparison, phonearena team.
35. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
I agree. Keeping it neutral is the best way to go.

motorola droid all day long
15. Iphoneluv (Posts: 59; Member since: 13 Nov 2009)
You can keep trying to hype the droid vzwmam bit the facts are facts. Iphone is hands down the best mulimedia device and PHONE on the market period.... Read the articles on consumer reports, phone scoop, and many more. The droid is nice but an iphone killer............................................................................................. ............. It AINT...
18. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
the iphone is old news! it is no longer a trendy phone and it has lost it's wow factor. so i'm sorry anyone that owns an iphone is officially uncool. :-)
21. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
I don't think its lost anything. People are still buying the iPhone 3G let alone the 3GS. Go on ebay right now and you'll see pre-owned iphone as a featured item. The iphone has probably been a featured item on ebay for the last two years straight. I just randomly went on right to see if its still there and what do you know....It's on there. Go to CNN or ABC, which has millions of viewers, and you'll see them advertising their app on the iphone. Even pizza hut advertises their iphone app. I'm sorry man, but the iphone is not leaving anytime soon. Its funny because I was watching ABC News and they were talking about if the Droid was the next iphone killer. After watching the segment (where no conclusion of which phone was better was made..........like everyone does) a commercial came on and it was ABC advertising their iphone app. I laughed so hard when I watched that. Is the droid the really better than the iphone? You decide. Buy our app now from the app store and get live updates, videos, blah blah blah. lol
37. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
i'm just saying it has lost its wow factor. if you had an iphone any time within the first year of its launch, it still had its wow factor. but now, i wouldn't buy an iphone again because it's out of date imo. and again, when i see people over 20 pull out their iphone, i'm like, really? it's like an adult playing with action figures. but oh well... and the droid's keyboard is perfect, i have no compaints. i think the droid's keyboard is better than my old voyager. but whatever floats your boat EN. :-)
39. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
A lot if people really hate the iPhone and that's just simply how they kook at things. I mean what's o childish about having this phone? So having a flip phone isn't childish but having the iPhone which has much more functionality is? I just don't understand. You're probably just tired if the iPhone and that's pretty understandable. What I'm tired of is everyone calling every touch phone that comes out an iPhone killer. Does the Droid have to kill the iPhone to be a good phone. And people are already calling the HD2 iPhone killers. It's annoying. And it's also annoying how so many phones jock the iPhone. Have you seen Droid's latest commercial? It's exactly like the iPhone commercials. Instead there is a black background with wires and circuits and whatever and instead of seeing a man's hand going showing the phone, you have a robot finger.
44. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
you said you've had the iphone since it came out? aren't you bored with it yet? even if you think it's great, you still never get bored with a phone that has barely changed?
48. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
What is with this change stuff. The iPhone has been changing since day 1. It looks the same and the UI is the same. And that's about it. Their music player gets better with every update, the phone is even faster, they updated their camera, up to 32 gig of internal memory now, the web browser is still the best but they still add little features here and there, the app store is still the best and growing, the touch screen is still the best (which I think is sad after 2 years). Like i've said before, the only feature I want now is multitasking and then I'm set. And if I find a better phone than the iPhone, I would buy it. That's why I am always reading reviews, watching videos, and checking out phones in stores. But people are different. Some people want keyboards and some don't. Some people want removeable batteries but I don't think it's that important to Apple since most people don't even buy an extra one. And I think it's great that Verizon includes a 16 gig memory card with some of their phones. And again, thank Apple for that. A year and a half ago I would have to shell out big bucks for a Verizon 2gig (or maybe it was 4gig) memory card for my phone, and now they include a $100 item for free? Woah
49. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
so are you saying the cell company you choose is based on the phone you want? it may be the best phone to you, but again, you aren't bored with it?
51. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Yup. I would still be in Verizon if the iPhone was there. And I don't really care about call quality and such because I hardly talk on the phone. I'm always emailing, web browsing, texting, etc. Plus AT&T and Verizon are identical in my area, so "there's a map for that commercial doesn't really apply to me." And Verizon was getting on my nerves with all the random features that I never added that kept appearing on my bill. So I wasn't exactly crying when I left. And no, I'm not bored with it. It's kind of hard to get bored with this phone.
52. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
ha ya, i don't talk on my phone much either. well en i am happy you are satisified with your iphone. even though the droid is awesome, i will prolly get something newer and better in a year or so. i went from a pocket pc, a few dumbphones, to blackberry, to android, what's next.
57. jdawg183 (Posts: 1; Member since: 06 Dec 2009)
"So having a flip phone isn't childish but having the iPhone which has much more functionality is?" Oh my, I just had to laugh at that. The iPhone does not have much functionality at all. It allows others to add functionality, but does not include much by itself. But if you want to count what the apps allow you to do fine. Your phone can fart on command. Congratulations to you. Excuse me while I listen to music and browse through the files on my phone. Maybe make a reg edit or two just for the heck of it.
63. DonkeyPunched (Posts: 321; Member since: 10 Jan 2010)
Majority of the iPhone users are saying the same thing about you...and thats about 90% to 10%. So actually majority says you're uncool :]
16. eltimbalero1019 (unregistered)
Iphoneluv.....stop honestly dude i work for AT&T and i had the iphone and it blows dude honestly i mean an expensive phone with no tru multi-tasking i mean come on...i know why u love the iphone because its a kids phone and ur 12...but when u grow up and become a man opr woman w/e then ull realize iphone = garbage...i have a pre honestly i love it great phone and ive played with the droid and i can honestly say both of those phones sh*t on the Iphone...Android and WebOS are the best OS out there right now APPLE is failing unless they revamp there entire phone and just stop prettying up the same tired old phone...Im out...
17. Iphoneluv (Posts: 59; Member since: 13 Nov 2009)
12....?.? Dude please ur not worth my time... You have a freakin pre......... Enough said. Did your mom buy that for you? Get a real phone and then write back. How can you talk when you have a liile kid phone in a big boy league....Iphoneluv Out!!
20. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
You're putting up a pretty lame argument. First it was copy and paste (which was a legit complaint). Then it was MMS (but most people don't even use that!). And now its multitasking. the iphone does need multitasking, but I think the people who hate the iphone now will hate it no matter what. So it doesn't matter what Apple adds.
28. smartphonelover (Posts: 37; Member since: 26 Nov 2009)
Iphoneluv just face it the Iphone lost. There's only two people commenting that the Iphone rules and you are just basically saying it rules cause you said so without stating the facts why (kinda like what a little kid would do). How about acting like an adult in an adult conversation and stating specs or whatever that might support why it's better.
46. eltimbalero1019 (unregistered)
no actually i bought it with my own money that i saved from moving to sprint something you will never do since u pay double the amount of what i pay and the pre is better than the iphone...now dont get me wrong i never said it was a bad phone cause it works for some people and they are happy but for me i need COPY and PATSE and tru did i meation tru multi-tasking...so u can keep ur phone and ill keep my phone and we both be happy...but i will honestly say ur going on with a less than mediocre cmpny
47. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
What you were saying was lame. "i know why u love the iphone because its a kids phone and ur 12" - dumb "APPLE is failing unless they revamp there entire phone and just stop prettying up the same tired old phone" -Do you think that Apple themselves, the general public, and all other phone companies they are competing against think they are failing? I don't think so. Uniformity is actually their greatest strength. Just because the phone and the UI looks the same doesn't mean that it hasn't changed. Really, the only thing it's lacking is multitasking. And what your phone is lacking is a better application store And I don't know if you know, buy the iPhone has copy and paste now. And Android can customize. We get it.
53. eltimbalero1019 (unregistered)
EN all the phone mentioned above are great but one tru thing is i need service and i need it now in my home area i get great sprint and verizon service but at&t not so much...i have had the iphone for a yr and the palm pre unfortanetly not the droid but that can chnge...anyways i enjoy the pre better and for me its faster and bettr thanm the iphone...now i kniow noone will chnge ur mind due to the fact that the phone works great for u so w/e works then hey go for it...but in all reality i really love the Pre and wouldnt chnge it until it no longer satisfies my needs then i will be moving on....but for me the iphone is boring yes ALOT OF APPS but who cares...PRE doesnt have so many but i have homebrew apps and i love em
64. vzwcutomer (Posts: 1; Member since: 16 Jan 2010)
Dude calm down Clearly everyone here knows how you're in love with the iPhone but you don't need to bash on other people's technology because they said something mean about yours what is this middle school? I've used all these phones and all of them are great but with the rate android/ webOS is progressing they are going to overtake apple in no time unless apple steps it up and introduces some new technology and gets it on a carrier that actually works everywhere without as many problems as at&t.

25. shgam2 (Posts: 42; Member since: 08 Sep 2009)
I just like the iPhone for its apps and smooth touch sensitivity. The browsing on this thing is just sooooooo amazing seriously. Nothing beats iphone in those two categories. Oh, and don't forget the media player. I just don't own an iPhone because so many people own it and I hate the way it looks. Droid looks a bit slow and the touch sensitivity doesn't seem so nice. I don't find Droid that interesting honestly. Pre just has the nice OS. Thats pretty much it for Pre I think. I'm just waiting for HD2.
29. smartphonelover (Posts: 37; Member since: 26 Nov 2009)
I think they could've done better with this review. The picture in the low light taken with the droid looked like to me that they didn't use flash. I've seen pictures taken buy the droid in low light with flash and it turned out a lot better. Also the Iphone does seem to have maybe the best looking interface on music but it seemed like to me that the droid had a better looking interface on video playback. Plus the Droid plays videos clearer then the Iphone. The Droid is able to connect to a computer and you can easily add or remove items, so it's better then having to use Itunes and not being able to take music or video off the Iphone to store onto another computer. For multimedia I think the Droid beats the Iphone easily with better video playback, it's easy transferring items to and from a computer, and Droid has an expandable memory slot. I am disappointed how phonearena didn't include the phones network coverage but that's probably because everybody already knows that the Iphone would lose in that category just like it lost in several others. Tisk tisk. Oh and btw the Droids replaceable battery is a big advantage over the Iphone cause you can swap batteries at any time. By having a spare battery with you you can have the Droid lasting longer then the Iphone ever could.

I own a Droid and love it. I also own an Ipod Touch and love it as well. I don't hate the Iphone at all and feel both phones do everything equally well. The real question here that wasn't even addressed in the review is service!! I travel to rural areas frequently and need to have service. AT&T's network sucks compared to Verizon....period! I'd have had an Iphone 3 years ago if it would have been on Verizon's awesome network. Can you imagine how many Iphones would be out there had Verizon and Apple come together? AT&T would be out of business had the egos of these two giants been put aside 4-5 years ago!! The same may be said for some phone manufacturers such as RIM and Motorola had the Iphone been on Verizon's network from the beginning! Here's to hoping VZW and Apple come together on a 4G Iphone for LTE!! Can you say, Time to buy fruit and gum (Big Red) stock!! Just my thoughts.

MACON, Ga. – Nathan Debut became the first Stetson University men's tennis player to be named Atlantic Sun Player of the Week this season, as the conference made its official announcement, Wednesday. Debut, a junior from Toulon, France earned the honor after a perfect weekend against Lipscomb and Northern Kentucky.
Playing at the No. 1 singles position in both matches, Debut won in straight sets last Friday over LU's Rob Mitchell (6-4, 7-5), then put forth a valiant comeback to defeat Northern Kentucky's Mate Virag, 4-6, 6-4, 10-6 on Saturday, to notch his second singles victory in as many days.
In doubles play, Debut was equally as strong, posting a pair of wins with partner Hans Adrian Riseng at No. 2. Debut and Riseng defeated Lipscomb's Daniel Hernandez and Rob Mitchell, 8-7(6) on Friday, then repeated the feat just hours later, this time against NKU's Balint Zsidai and Jody Maginley, by an 8-3 score.
Debut has played in the No. 1 position for 14 of his 16 matches this season, compiling an 8-6 record with two having gone unfinished. The Frenchman has also preformed quite well in doubles play, posting nine wins with Riseng as his partner for the majority of the season.
Debut is no stranger of accolades from the A-Sun as he was named a Conference Scholar in 2013 and earned a spot on the conference's All-Freshman Team in 2012.
His Hatters finish out A-Sun play and the 2014 regular season with a match at Florida Gulf Coast, Saturday, Apr. 12 at 1 p.m. in Ft. Myers.

An East Amherst woman who stole $49,311 worth of lottery tickets was placed on probation for five years on Thursday.
Lynn A. Hudson, 35, of Clarence Center Road, also must seek substance abuse and mental health evaluations and also report to a Town of Amherst specialty treatment court for gambling addicts.
State Supreme Court Justice Deborah Haendiges called Hudson's "issue with gambling" the "catalyst for this criminal act."
Hudson, who pleaded guilty in August to fourth-degree grand larceny, admitted stealing the scratch-off tickets between November 2011 and last June from Tully's on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Amherst, where she worked as the restaurant's manager. She had faced a prison sentence of up to four years
The restaurant's insurance covered about half of the loss and Hudson repaid the balance, said John C. Doscher, head of the Erie County District Attorney's Special Investigations Bureau, who prosecuted Hudson.
The District Attorney's Office offered a reduced larceny count because the restaurant recouped the entire amount of its loss, Doscher said.
"I'm just sorry about all of this," Hudson told Haendiges during the hearing.
