Who cares im sure there a bunch of Iphone fanboys that will jump on here say verizon is stupid for not picking up the iphone. But seriously I have had the Iphone ive had blacberrys and now have a droid. The droid has made the Iphone irrelevant for verizon and that is why verizon is in no rush to get it. Anyone that can name one thing that the iphone does better then the droid then they havent done their research or havent used a droid. The droid Multitasks and i can text or surf the web while in a phone call when necessary. Oh and a little application called isyncr for 2.99 in the market allows me to use my itunes and full playlists.

"Anyone that can name one thing that the iphone does better than the droid then they havent done their research or havent used a droid" ...or they just don't like the Droid. It's not necessarily the Droid alone, it's more so Android itself. As a mass market product, the iPhone OS is a bit better in terms of user experience. Though, I'd rather have Android w/ Sense, I can accept the fact that the iPhone is popular for a reason...

Thanks for adding that bit at the end about an app in the Android market that allows you to sync Android with Mac applications. Thateas always one of my hold-outs for Android but if that's the case, then Android has just become much more of an appealing option for me.

I am a huge Android fan. I currently own the HTC Incredible (after upgrading from the Motorola Droid), and love it. But I will give the iphone props on one thing and one thing only... the facebook app. Currently, the facebook apps (all of them) for the android leave a little bit to be desired. They each have certain parts they excel at, but there isn't one that does it all. I have faith though that someone (preferably FACEBOOK) will fix that. :) Android FTW!!!

Just to be clear, you can only surf and talk if you are surfing over a wifi network.

The three major problems I have with Android right now is 1. correcting text, if i write a paragraph, I can click on the word I need to correct but it's not as smooth as the iPhone where I get the magnifying glass and can get to the exact letter. Is there an easier way to handle this, if so please let me know. 2. The browser, I don't really like Chrome it doesn't work for me like I function. Would anyone on the forums know if there are other browsers for the Android Market Place that are better? and my 3. Is that all the good Android phones are on VZW and Sprint and I don't really want to be limited by these carriers. I travel allot and like to use my phone over seas, does anyone know what Android phone on ATT or T-Mobile compares to the Incredible and please don't tell me the Nexus one....

What about the HTC HD2? I hear its pretty good.
12. gdjsnyder (Posts: 9; Member since: 06 Nov 2009)
"Anyone that can name one thing that the iphone does better then the droid then they havent done their research or havent used a droid." Eh, well I've owned three droids, the first two had to be returned due to defects with the phone. The third got sold on eBay. So I got the owned part covered. And I would account 3-4 hours of my day researching technology and such, so I think I have the research part covered, and I can name a bunch of things the iPhone does better. But I'll start with a simple one. One thing the iPhone does better than the Droid- sell. Plain and simple. How many iPhones have been sold? How many Droids? iPhone wins, hands down. And also, to be the little prick I am, I really don't believe Apple ever made an Iphone. I know they made an iPhone, but I didn't hear the news on the new Iphone?
17. gambino37 (Posts: 146; Member since: 16 Oct 2009)
You are kidding with the p/P thing right? WOW. And as far as selling how long as the iPhone been out compared to the droid? Hardly a valid argument. Do some MORE research.
18. ecml (Posts: 129; Member since: 23 Mar 2010)
Well the reason the iPhone have more sells than the Droid is because it's been in the market years before the droid. @gdjsnyder
19. Windsponge (Posts: 92; Member since: 01 Nov 2009)
Sorry last quarter iPhone way out sold Droid..Not even Close.I am using Droid so I am not biased.
21. supadave (Posts: 12; Member since: 26 Mar 2010)
3 Defective Droids= User Error sorry but I'm serious you probably downloaded a faulty or incompatible app or damaged the device(s).
25. Russki (Posts: 45; Member since: 26 Dec 2009)
"iPhone OS is a bit better in terms of user experience" Well i mean thats a valid point. The iPhone is in-fact idiot-proof. But, if you are interested in a more stimulating user expirience with many more features, come play with a Droid :) You'll see what everybody's talking about.
27. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
To Ecml and gambino37, I bet more people are buying the year old iPhone 3GS today than are buying the newer 7th month old Droid. (well maybe not today since its so close to the announcement of the new iphone) Or to make it simpler for you guys to understand, the iPhone 3GS sold more in it's first 5 months than the Droid did in it's first 5 months. I think that's what gdjnsyder was trying to say. He wasn't comparing the iPhone sales since 2007 with the Droid's sales since the end of 2009. To oo7jbondistm, Its really the Verison users that are begging for the iPhone. Many people on AT&T really don't care. If Verizon does get the iPhone, I'll probably move to Verizon. But until then, who cares. I think that's the attitude a lot of AT&T users who jumped from Verizon for the iPhone share.
30. gdjsnyder (Posts: 9; Member since: 06 Nov 2009)
No, I am not kidding with the p/P thing, or the i/I thing either. Some people take that very seriously, i am one of them. I don't need to do more research. I didn't say take ALL 3 years the iPhone has been available times the droids availability now. Just look at the original iPhone v. Droid, iPhone 3G v. Droid, iPhone 3GS v. Droid sales. You will then see that each iPhone has outsold the droid. How long did it take Motorola to sell it's 1,000,000 Droid? I believe the iPhone 3G sold it's 1,000,000 sometimes around July 11th, it's release date.
31. gdjsnyder (Posts: 9; Member since: 06 Nov 2009)
I'm talking about each iPhone, not all three of them together. Moron.
32. gdjsnyder (Posts: 9; Member since: 06 Nov 2009)
I'm using a blackbery, so I am not biased either, so I hope no one gets that impression.
33. gdjsnyder (Posts: 9; Member since: 06 Nov 2009)
Nope. Verizon admitted fault both times. The 3G antenna in one was broken and in another they were dead pixels and the like. Both hardware defects. So don't blame me that your precious phone CAN have faults not caused by it's users. Because it does.
34. gdjsnyder (Posts: 9; Member since: 06 Nov 2009)
Thank you, E.N. That was my point all along. I appreciate that not all PhoneArena posters aren't so consumed with hate against Apple and love for their Androids.
35. BlackberryUser (Posts: 609; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
I found I like Dolphin a lot better, because it allows you to exit.
37. testman22 (Posts: 338; Member since: 03 Nov 2009)
gdjsnyder, you said... "I can name a bunch of things the iPhone does better." All you've said was that it sold more- so please, enlighten us with this large list of what the iphone can do better than the droid incredible
39. BlackberryUser (Posts: 609; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
+1 testman22
47. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Do you really want to hear another list? I mean I could just as easily provide a list but I and many other iPhone users have done that so many times in the past, that no matter what I write, it won't change anyone's opinion. You're going to like your Droid Incredible better no matter what anyone says. But if you still want a full list, I suggest waiting until tomorrow.
51. supadave (Posts: 12; Member since: 26 Mar 2010)
You probably got a rep that didn't feel like troubleshooting the alleged faulty antenna issue. Dude all I'm saying is I've maybe replaced 4 Moto Droids since launch and I'm in tech support.
60. plyfulgentleman (Posts: 43; Member since: 17 Jul 2008)
EN are you serious! People who actually own a Iphone 3gs will will pay to have 1.3 MP cam in front of the phone to have video conferencing. Wow that's mind boggling, if dats the only reason why iphone users reason to buy go for it. That's just not smart at all. Why? Well tell us why would you buy it EN?
65. core628 (Posts: 2; Member since: 11 May 2010)
you have to compare with the records of the first gen of the iphone cuz the droid it is the first one for verizon and motorola and in that sense droid did beat the iphone on the first gen's...
68. tuminatr (Posts: 773; Member since: 23 Feb 2009)
personally I think its all about marketing, the IPhone is better known, but for the last six months android has been outselling apple here in the USA. Personally I have played with both devices and they have advantages and disadvantages. I believe apple will loose this fight its simply a numbers game Verizon has 5 droids sprint has 3 and Tmboile had 5 heck even att has one. and those numbers are growing. Droid will win

I am a verizon customer and have been since 2000. If verizon doesnt get the iphone by the time my upgrade comes up in 2011 then i will unfortunatly be forced to switch to att(although i hate to say that cuz there signal sux where i live and i use to work for verizon) but they have the iphone. Hands down the iphone seems to have something that everybody craves. ive played and researched with many types of windows, android, and iphones and iphone seems to be the best for me.

"Of course, the next question is, just how long in time is the immediate future?" Stop reading between lines that don't exist!
7. BlackberryUser (Posts: 609; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
I think that's a very valid question. Most advertising requires "reading between lines".
23. Kiltlifter (Posts: 742; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
Nah... stupid people have been proclaiming the second coming of Jesus since 900AD as the "immediate future". When was the last time you saw the reincarnation of the Christian son of God? I think Verizon should stuff it Apple and never support a single Apple product forever. Eventually with no support and poor service whyPhone users will defect when they get bored of the device and realize that apple low specs the device on purpose to release a slightly better model every year. 2G>3G (tiny upgrades and 3g support), why becuase they knew that people would buy the 3G one again. 3G>3GS (it finally does video, something phones have been able to do since 2002), 3Gs-4G (we changed the design so now people with 3G/S will look like iTools and follow the iSheep to the iStore to blow their iMoney and hand their iLife over to their self appointed dictator: Steve Jobs... I guess if you talked to a Mac-tavist lately they would tell you that the second coming of Jesus is Steve Jobs. So maybe we will see a whyPhone on VZW, but I hope that it never comes. I also wish Microsoft, Adobe, and Google stop supporting mac with any of their software to let Mac squirm. Here's hoping ChromoOS is a huge success so there is another worthwile OS for a desktop computer besides Windows.
24. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Yes, you should pray everyday that it doesn't come to Verizon because if it does, then I honestly don't know what will happen to the Droid series. Since the launch of iPhone, people have been asking when the iPhone would appear in Verizon. But when the G1 launched on t-mobile, not many cared. and I can say that because I was on Verizon during that time. And stop freaking obsessing over the iPhone, honestly. It seems like you just can't hold in your excitement. The Apple conference is only two days away. Can't you hold your excitement in for just a little longer? But I know how you feel cause I'm excited too. But Monday probably comes, you can do all the iPhone obsessing/hating that you want. But really, if Steve Jobs controls anyone, it's the iPhone haters. I mean you guys really go out your way to bash the iPhone. Just read BrokenImaege's comment and see if you dont get freaked out just a little. I bet most of the Andrlid users (especially the EVO users) will be tuning in to Engadget, Phonearena, Apple.com, or any other source to get more info. Haha, you guys will probably find out information before I do. That's how obsessed I think some of you guys are.
38. lovebuzz (Posts: 76; Member since: 21 Oct 2009)
No it's not Blackberry. It's not advertising, it's hype. There are no lines and he said exactly what he meant. People need to get over this already.
40. BlackberryUser (Posts: 609; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
I didn't say it was advertising, I just used advertising as an example. He is playing a political game to direct customers the way he feels will drive more sales for Verizon. That said, I think the iPhone WILL eventually come to Verizon, because there are loyal followers. Although it may take 10 years to happen. My statement was really just that reading between the lines is necessary to get a full picture. When a politician tells you something, do you take it for face value? Any company rep is a politician for their company.
43. lovebuzz (Posts: 76; Member since: 21 Oct 2009)
Why do i get the feeling that when you say "You" you're actually referring to yourself? HAHA you are so transparent.
48. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
??? Umm, I don't understand what you're trying to say. When I said "you" I was referring to Kiltlifter. When I said "I", I was talking about myself. I think you're referring to the part when I said " Can't you hold your excitement in for just a little longer?" I said that because obviously he is excited for the conference tomorrow. I mean look how ansy his comment was. I'm excited to see the new features that will be offered. He's excited/eager to try to prove his point about how all the new iphone's have minor updates. So in the end, we will both be watching Apple tomorrow. That was the point I was trying to make.
52. Kiltlifter (Posts: 742; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
@ E.N. In a way I could say you are right. I do obsess a little about technology becuase I am excited at the way things are going. I honoestly think that Apple Corporation holds the advancement of technology back and uses psychographical information to trap their iSheeple into giving their life freely to Apple products. Don't ge me wrong I also feel taht Google is doing the same thing. But I truly hate Apple fanatics becuase they act like such crying babies about EVERYTHING. I hope steve jobs announces that the iPhone will be released to every single US Carrier tomorrow besides VZW. That way AT&T will start to lose sales, VZW will stay where they are, and Sprint and T-Mo will grow significantly.
61. plyfulgentleman (Posts: 43; Member since: 17 Jul 2008)
Haha its hella funny that u mention the G1 phone. That phone actually works on Tmo edge network(2g) that's why it didn't get as much fanfare as the iphone. Hey look don't get me wrong I just don't like the fact that there's such a choke hold on what u can do on the damn thing. On the 3gs no tethering, which to some of ya people don't care too much for but I do. And everything else has to be done on itunes wow goodluck. I choose android SIMPLY PUT OPEN-SOURCE MEANING NO RESTRICTIONS. Why do u thing AT&T is itching to get more android devices cuz they know wats happening at da end of the year exclusivity and iphone is bye bye. So AT&T is doing the best thing jumping on the band wagon... Android band wagon that is...NUFF SAID
62. plyfulgentleman (Posts: 43; Member since: 17 Jul 2008)
Oops I also forgot to mention flash...oh that's rite flash won't work on iphone...unless people program on html5. I just thought i'd add that formy pal EN...
8. BlackberryUser (Posts: 609; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
Here is my take on this for what it's worth, which is nothing. Why would Verizon stop their customers from buying Android phones for the anticipation of an iPhone? If he said Verizon would have an iPhone soon, customers may choose to wait for the "upcoming" iPhone or at least to compare it. He didn't say they aren't getting it and "immediate future" is left open. At the same point, he'll continue selling a lot of Android phones. I think the Android is a better phone all the way around, but you still have the hardcore iPhone fans that Verizon will eventually serve to when they release an iPhone on their terms. The iPhone on Verizon will still not surf and talk without LTE or Wifi.
22. wade1968 (Posts: 224; Member since: 12 Apr 2010)
if your talking and surfing the web at the same time either you are bored with who your talking to or you are just plain RUDE.
26. Man_of_God (Posts: 32; Member since: 27 Jan 2009)
Or, maybe you are on a conference call and you were just sent a slide deck via email and you need to view it.... Or maybe you holding a training session and you want to illustrate something on the whiteboard app on your smartphone.... Or maybe you have a teenager and you want to verify that they are actually at their friends home and the parents are there, so you call them and have them turn on the video camera and you actually see the parents.... Need I go on??? Don't be limited in your thinking. There are plenty of reasons why voice and data simultaneously can be very productive.
36. BlackberryUser (Posts: 609; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
To continue your argument.. ... you have a teenaager and your running locator to see where they're actually at. ... You have bluetooth and your friend is asking you about meeting at a restaraunt. ... you are on bluetooth discussing what movie to watch tonight. ... you are on bluetooth using your phone for navigation. I've had a few instances where I found having the ability to talk and surf would be convenient. I have AT&T and Verizon, I feel Verizon has a far superior service, but it is a missing feature.
66. core628 (Posts: 2; Member since: 11 May 2010)
talk and surf at the same time??? lol at&t should fix their drop calls and lack of coverage... phone with no servie pretty much an ipod
72. metalpoet (unregistered)
haha i agree!
10. ace1122 (Posts: 237; Member since: 23 Mar 2009)
Verizon is #1 without the iPhone and id take the Incredible or the upcoming Droid Xtreme over the iPhone any day.
73. metalpoet (unregistered)
dont rule out the new lg ally. finally lg decided to step up for verizon in the android market
13. Gowireless (Posts: 85; Member since: 23 Feb 2010)
From what i heard Verizon plans to eleminate their CDMA network and instead use VOIP over their LTE network. If this is the case Verizon will be using SIM cards. For customers that want to have a iPhone 4G it seems it would be very possible to unlock the phone on Verizons LTE network.
28. cellgeek82 (Posts: 518; Member since: 20 Dec 2009)
Sounds like you have your predictions correct but you're leaving one thing out...this will happen in YEARS time. CDMA will be operational for some time to come, even after 4G is switched on. As for an iPhone 4G, I would imagine that Verizon will eventually get the iPhone but they'll probably have a 4G model. AT&T is so slow about enhancing their network I'd say that Verizon has a better chance in getting a 4G iPhone. Even if AT&T got a 4G iPhone before Verizon it'll suck like the 3G one did. AT&T has horrible data coverage. If Verizon expands their 4G network like they did their 3G network then AT&T has something to worry about. As for unlocking the iPhone, good luck with that. Untill there is LTE across the board you'll run in to network compatibility problems where the first 4G devices will be CDMA/LTE and GSM/LTE. Also, Apple and the carrier the 4G iPhone belongs to will have that thing locked down super tight, be prepared to do some major hacking.
14. BrokenImaege (Posts: 173; Member since: 27 Jul 2009)
Been saying this for how long now????? We don't need the IPhone period. Android is surpassing it everyday. On top of that, no way VZW pays Apple what they want in subsidies. Once Android suceeded on VZW it put Jobs on the losing end of negotiations. They will either play by VZW rules to put it on our network after 2012 or they can keep selling it on a shitty network. Apple has lost and they cost their customer base the best wireless network in the US because of being greedy. Once they put a global device on VZW, its overwith. That's the last step in this game.
15. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
I hate when people get so attatched that they confuse logic with emotion. Your whole comment is a mess. "We don't need the IPhone period." "Android is surpassing it everyday." - huh? Really? Says who? And how many times can you surpass something. Once you surpass something you can't surpass it again. "Once Android suceeded on VZW it put Jobs on the losing end of negotiations." - says who? "They will either play by VZW rules to put it on our network after 2012 or they can keep selling it on a shitty network." - you don't even know of Verizon and AT&T already have an agreement. "Apple has lost" - do you really believe that? "Once they put a global device on VZW, its overwith. That's the last step in this game." - wow
16. theman414 (Posts: 132; Member since: 08 Jun 2009)
Or Apple could just sell the iPhone to every other carrier except for Verizon. Sometimes you Verizonfanboys just say stupid stuff!
20. Windsponge (Posts: 92; Member since: 01 Nov 2009)
You are correct. Truth is buy what you want and don't worry about what some one else wants.
29. cellgeek82 (Posts: 518; Member since: 20 Dec 2009)
I'm a Verizon customer and an Android user. I can't say I like the iCult...I mean, iPhone...but I still think that Verizon would do good to get the iPhone. Well, ANY carrier would be ok! Why not see how the iPhone performs on a great network? I think it's a bit unfair and bad business practice to keep it on one carrier. At least Android is on every carrier! Apple seems careless to stay on one carrier, and they seem to be "in love" with AT&T. I could understand being only on AT&T at the start but it's been a while now. C'mon Apple, there are other fish in the sea. Quit sleeping with AT&T, they'll only give you blue balls.
41. BlackberryUser (Posts: 609; Member since: 26 Jun 2009)
Although the Android has done an amazing job competing with the iPhone, the iPhone has many more units sold everyday then the Android. The iPhone has the advantage of being out there longer, but if you look at only todays sales it's my understanding that today the iPhone sold more units then all other Android phones combined. I'm glad to see a good contender in the marketplace, but don't write off the iPhone yet. Next... like cellgeek82 said, the iPhone would be beneficial for any carrier as far as sales go. That said there could be unexpected drawbacks like excessive data usage.
46. cc16177 (Posts: 312; Member since: 09 May 2010)
Actually as of Q1 2010 the iPhone only accounted for 23% of smartphone sales and Android was 28%. First time that has happened.... RIM is still the majority though.
53. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
"Then we get cold hard numbers like these -- showing iPhone OS owning 28 percent of the US smartphone market and closing in on RIM's leading 35 percent -- and we face up to the realization that Android handsets still account for less than one in every ten smartphones owned by Americans today. " - Engadget AT&T sells iPhone 3GS and 3G. AT&T also sells the Android blackflip and (will if not already) the Nexus One Verizon sells the Android Droid, Droid Eris, Droid Incredible, and (will if not already) the Nexus One. T-Mobile sells the myTouch 3G, the Nexus One Sprint sells the Android Hero and the Evo 4G. I think you guys can imagine the point I'm trying to make.
59. CRICKETownz (Posts: 980; Member since: 24 Oct 2009)
Sometimes its hard for ppl to let go of the glory years...hard for the original iPhone fans to grasp the concept that the iPhone is no longer the big fish in a small pond. HTC EVO, HD2, Incredible, Droid Extreme comin, Microsoft KIN (lol sike)...everybody has leveled up. Sorry Mr. Jobs, you just another option in the line up now.
63. plyfulgentleman (Posts: 43; Member since: 17 Jul 2008)
I would ac@tually try the iphone for vzw if and when it comes out...jus to see what the fuss is about.

verizon has horrible customer service and the prices are crazy! but they have thebest service and they know that. iphone or no iphone. with android in the picture, the iphone and att have serious competition now.

International Decisions, Gatt Dispute Settlement Panel, United States – Section 337 of Tariff Act of 1930
Kenneth W. Abbott
Arizona State University
The American Journal of International Law, Vol. 84, p. 274, 1990
The European Economic Community (EEC) requested that the Council of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) establish a panel under GATT Article XXIII(2) to consider the application of section 337 of the United States Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1337 (1982 & Supp. V 1988)). The Community sought a finding that the procedures applied under section 337 in patent-based cases were inconsistent with the GATT obligation to accord national treatment to imported goods and thus constituted prima facie nullification or impairment of benefits accruing to the Community under the GATT. The panel established under the authority of the Council found: (1) that certain aspects of section 337 procedure accord less favorable treatment to imported goods than is accorded to goods of domestic origin by the comparable procedures of patent litigation in the federal district courts, and are therefore inconsistent with the national treatment obligation of GATT Article III(4); and (2) that these instances of less favorable treatment cannot in many respects be justified as "necessary" under the exception for enforcement measures in GATT Article XX(d). The panel recommended that the GATT contracting parties ask the United States to bring its procedures into conformity with the General Agreement. This article reviews and analyzes the panel's decision.

The Unwritten Diary of Israel Unger
Paper 240 pp.
Release Date:
Online discount: 25%
$24.99 $18.74
At the beginning of the Nazi period, 25,000 Jewish people lived in Tarnow, Poland. By the end of the Second World War, nine remained. Like Anne Frank, Israel Unger and his family hid for two years in an attic crawl space. Against all odds, they emerged alive. Now, after decades of silence, here is Israel's "unwritten diary."
Nine people lived behind that false wall above the Dagnan factory in Tarnow. Their stove was the chimney that went up through the attic; their windows were cracks in the wall. Survival depended on the food the adults leaving the hideout at night were able to forage. Even at the end of the war, however, Jewish people emerging from hiding were still not safe. After the infamous postwar Kielce pogrom, Israel's parents sent him and his brother as "orphans" to France in a program called Rescue Children, a Europe-wide attempt to find Jewish children orphaned by the Holocaust. When the family was finally reunited, they lived a precarious existence between France—as people sans pays—and England until the immigration papers for Canada came through in 1951.
In Montreal, in the world described so well by Mordecai Richler, Israel's father, a co-owner of a factory in Poland, was reduced to sweeping factory floors. At the local yeshiva (Jewish high school), Israel discovered chemistry, and a few short years later he left poverty behind. He had a stellar academic career, married, and raised a family in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The Unwritten Diary of Israel Unger is as much a Holocaust story as it is a story of a young immigrant making every possible use of the opportunities Canada had to offer.
Born and raised in New Brunswick, Carolyn Gammon moved to Berlin in 1992. Her poetry, prose, and essays have appeared in anthologies in North America and Great Britain, and in translation. She is co-author of the Holocaust memoir Johanna Krause, Twice Persecuted (WLU Press, 2007).
Israel Unger was born in 1938 in Tarnow, Poland, and immigrated to Canada in 1951. He is Dean Emeritus of Science at the University of New Brunswick. Israel Unger was one of fifty Holocaust survivors to be honoured by the Government of Canada in 1998 in connection with the fiftieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. He was the educational advisor for Atlantic Canada for the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies.
"The book's final section sets it apart from many other memoirs, in detailing the extensive research undertaken by Unger and Gammon, greatly facilitated by the internet, to reconstruct the circumstances of his Holocaust childhood: the hiding place, the Polish citizens who helped the nine Jews, others who knew about their refuge but did not denounce them, and even the fates of the five others who hid with the Unger family. Correspondence and personal encounters with various helpful and unhelpful Polish authorities enliven this account. A high point is Unger's meeting with the mill owner's son, who had known about the hidden Jews, and the discovery of and visits with two women from the group, sisters living in Israel. Another strength of the book is its rich photographic documentation, again largely the result of careful research.... Gammon and Unger have produced a readable, unpretentious, straightforward book that will be of interest to those studying immigration and exile, Holocaust memoir, and Canadian university life. Closing the account, the reader is inclined to agree with Unger's assertion that 'every survivor story ... is unique and extraordinary' and to concur with his own self-assessment: 'I have had a very good life.'"
— Cecile Zorach, Franklin and Marshall College, Yearbook of German American Studies
"[The Unwritten Diary of Israel Unger] is a powerful story of courage, survival, humility, and love—love of family, love of community, and love of peace, justice, and truth.... Unger and his collaborator, Carolyn Gammon, wrote this book clearly intending to tell the story of an extraordinary life. In the process, it became more than just a writing exercise for them. Like so many works motivated by passion and discovery and framed within the borders of historical and family narratives, this book became a journey of self-discovery and narrative renewal.... This book of memory is as finely written an account of a life as I have read."
— Richard Blaquiere, Bugle-Observer (Woodstock, NB)
"In a small town in Poland, nine Jews hid from the Nazis in an attic crawl space for two years. All of them survived. Israel Unger, professor and dean emeritus of the University of New Brunswick, was one of them. With the help of Carolyn Gammon, Unger has shared his story in the Unwritten Diary of Israel Unger. Unger says the idea to write this book was not his, it was Gammon's. 'When she first suggested to me that we write a book, my answer to her was that there wasn't a book, that my memories were not very extensive because I was so young at the time,' he says. Unger was five when they first hid in the attic, seven when they left that tiny space after Poland was liberated. 'And I was 1 1/2 when the German war machine crashed into Poland,' he notes. 'But Carolyn then said, what happened afterwards is also interesting.' Looking at himself as a representative of what happened to many survivors, he realized that there might be a book. 'There were 350,000 Jews that survived Poland—10 per cent of the 3.5 million that were living there before the war—and I was one of those,' says Unger. 'It seemed to me, in telling the story, you could also tell in some ways the story of many other people.'... What [Unger] found particularly gratifying was that the external reviewer said his story wasn't just part of Holocaust history, it's part of Canadian history. The reviewer also said his story filled a gap. 'To me, it was kind of a justification for the book, that somebody considers it a part of Canadian history,' he says."
— Lori Gallagher, Fredericton Daily Gleaner
"This is like a detective story where we are also taken on the journey with the authors and become witnesses to the discovery of evidence that, in every detail, supports Israel's memories and stories. I have seldom been so moved that I literally stop everything else, including eating until I reach the end. There is a tension between the utter honesty and attention to detail of Israel's story, and the need to dig deeper and find out more emotionally. It makes this book powerful and indeed, empowering. This is storytelling / history / memoir / biography at its very best. The Unwritten Diary of Israel Unger deserves an award for its content but also its methodology. It provides a useful blueprint for other writing–interviewing partnerships and shows how dedication to the cause can lead to an incredibly compelling book.... You cannot read this book fast. It is a slow read. It needs to be. Nor can you put it down. So, be prepared to find a safe haven, take plenty of time, and begin this journey. You will not emerge the same person as you began. This is one of those unique, life-changing books."
— Cathie Koa Dunsford, Asia Pacific Review

This is the first complete book on running injuries designed for physicians. It describes the biomechanics, physiology, and the diseases afflicting the runner and their treatment. Among its better chapters are those entitled "Tendinitis and Plantar Fasciitis in Runners," "Exertional Compartment Syndromes," and "Neurophysiology of Stretching." Also of great and often unusual interest are the sections on stress femoral neck fractures, the physiology of heat and fluid loss, and the biomechanics of running and nutrition.
Several of the chapters such as those on heat stroke and the role of stretching are informative but lack information on the prevention of specific injuries. For instance, although the iliotibial band syndrome is described, there is no reference as to how to prevent it.
This unusual monograph will be of help to a variety of physicians, not only those who are involved in sports medicine but also those who themselves are joggers.

It's going to be hot, again.
Iowa is going to be feeling the heat Wednesday into Thursday as temperatures are expected to get into the high 90s and low 100s, according to the National Weather Service.
Frank Boska, meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said the system that could bring the heat is currently in the west and Kansas is expected to be here by Wednesday.
"That's the air that's supposed to migrate to us," he said.
Boska said if the "air mass does not moderate," it could bring temperatures approaching and breaking the 100 mark. Even overnight lows will stay in the mid to high 70s.
"If it happens, the heat will be rather oppressive by Thursday," he said.
The expected temperatures are well above the normal for this time of year. Boska said it is typically in the mid 80s for highs and lower 60s for the lows.
There are two different standpoints when it comes to groups that are venerable to high heat. From a personal standpoint, the elderly and very young children are susceptible to the heat as well as someone with a metabolic disease, such as diabetes or who are obese, said Dr. Patricia Quinlisk, medical director for the Iowa Department of Public Health. She added that medications, such as those for high blood pressure, can cause dehydration. For those people, it's important to stay in a cool place.
"Take it easy when it gets that hot," she said.
Quinlisk added that fans are great for the overnight, but when it gets hot and humid enough, they don't really work. Then, it's time to find somewhere with air conditioning.
The Polk County Health Department has a list of cooling centers open during the day where people can visit to get out of the heat for a little bit. Even as little as two hours in air conditioning can decrease one's risk of heat related problems by a significant amount, said Polk County Health Department Public Information Officer Sarah Boese.
As for opening up an overnight shelter, Boese said her department will be monitoring the weather, looking at such factors such as the heat, humidity and length of the high temperatures, to determine if it will be needed.
Outdoor workers, Quinlisk said, need to be especially careful during heat like this. For people like roofers and farmers, it's important to them to take precautions while they're outside in the heat, she said.
Quinlisk recommends for these people, it's important to start early, take a break in the middle of the day at its hottest, and finish up when it starts to cool off.
Also, keep an eye out for yourself and others. If someone is dehydrated, or showing signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, such as turning bright red, headache or confusion, it's time to take a break.
"That's not the time to push," she said.
And everyone should be sure to stay hydrated, drinking cool or ice water. Quinlisk added sports drinks are fine for people who are sweating a lot to replenish some of the salts they're sweating out, but if that's not the case, ice water is the best route.
Boese added it's important to sip on water throughout the day, and not to wait until feeling thirsty. Also, avoid alcoholic and sugary drinks.
And be sure to be checking on people like the elderly at least twice a day, she said. Boese also said to take care pets, don't leave them in cars, even with the windows cracked, and make sure they have access to shade and water.

Soroptimist International of Amarillo recognizes its Women's Opportunity Award, Violet Richardson Award and Soroptimist Ruby Award winners.
Lyn Clark, president of Soroptimist International of Amarillo, announced the local winners of the following Soroptimist programs, The Woman's Opportunity Award, Soroptimist Violet Richardson Award and Soroptimist Ruby Award. All have been developed to support local club's efforts to improve the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world.
Woman's Opportunity Award had been awarded to Mary Suarez of Amarillo. The Women's Opportunity Awards program was established in 1972 to assist women with primary financial responsibility for their families to obtain the skills-training and education necessary to improve their employment status and standard of living for themselves and their family. Each year, $1.5 million in club, region and federation funds are awarded to more than 1,000 women in SIA's 19 member countries and territories. The women receiving these financial awards may use them for any costs associated with their educational efforts, including tuition, books, child care and transportation.
Soroptimist Violet Richardson Award is a recognition program for young women ages 14 to 17 engaged in volunteer action within their communities or schools. The award is given to young women whose activities make the community and world a better place. This year's SI Amarillo award goes to Tori Tankersley. She volunteers with LIFE Deaf Youth Camp and Children of Deaf Adults. She said she is thankful to serve and help empower the deaf and CODAs.
Soroptimist Ruby Award honors women who have worked to improve the lives of women and girls through their professional and/or volunteer work. A ruby also is a deep red gemstone associated with wisdom, importance, vitality, strength, vivacity, power and love: all words embodying the strong and compassionate women who are our award recipients. Ann Sanders is SI Amarillo's honoree for this year. Sander's is a licensed chemical dependency counselor in Amarillo, currently working with Downtown Women's Center. She has worked with inpatient 30-day treatment, probation and parole, and helped set up substance abuse departments in five new prisons.
All of these ladies will be honored at SI Amarillo's Annual Awards Luncheon on Wednesday at Amarillo Club.
Headquartered in Philadelphia, Pa., Soroptimist offers programs that improve the lives of women and girls through social and economic empowerment. Soroptimist, a 501(c)(3) organization that relies on charitable donations to support its programs, also powers liveyourdream.org — an online community offering offline volunteer opportunities in support of women and girls.

As part of its strategic plan to "dispose of non-core properties in order to strengthen its balance sheet by reducing debt," Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (NYSE: PEI ) announced today it has completed the sales of two properties, generating combined proceeds of $87.3 million.
The gain on the two sales, according to PREIT, is approximately $45.4 million and represents a 6.8% "blended cap rate." Proceeds will be used to pay down debt and for general corporate purposes.
The two separate transactions included the sale of PREIT's Christiana Center in Newark, Del., and the Commons at Magnolia located in Florence, S.C. In addition to the sales proceeds, PREIT noted in its statement that the unnamed buyer of the Christiana Center also assumed the property's $49.2 million mortgage.
CEO Joseph Coradino said in the company's statement, "PREIT has strategically reduced its debt by $359.0 million in 2013, funded primarily through non-core asset dispositions and a successful common equity offering."

New plays mix light, dark in Edinboro
The second New Works Festival by Laugh/Riot Performing Arts Company offers an opportunity for audiences to enjoy the works by new playwrights, actors and directors, and those with more experience.
While the fest's six plays are spread across two nights, anyone who purchases a ticket for one will receive a free ticket for the other.
The darker set features Jonathan Persinger's "Kill Your Darling," Morgan Gore's "Little Girl Blue" and "I Will Be There For You." In the first play, directed by Jeff List, Kaz Himes' disturbingly obsessed writer dodges the affection and alarm of his wife, played by Kat Farinola. Chris Glecos and Laura Chandler are toned down as the characters in his mind.
The set's most intense performance is by Rob Connick in "Little Girl Blue," directed by Chanel Thennes. His brutal portrayal of a prostitute's first client is gripping. Veronica O'Brien pours herself into a deeply vulnerable role.
"I Will Be There For You," directed by Craig Schneider, depicts a toxic sibling relationship, with Meranda Roth giving a haunting performance opposite an understated Candace Stone.
More lighthearted are Conlan Carter's "Civility's Sake," James Michael Shoberg's "Helping Out" and Daniel Johnson's "Double Date," which involve dinner and romantic conflict.
Matt Gulick gamely portrays the hapless man in bookending scenes in "Civility's Sake," directed by Shaun Taylor. Farinola amuses as his mortified girlfriend who's afraid his tasteless jokes offended their companions. Alyssa Dreihaup gives a sassy but classy performance in "Double Date," directed by Ashley Delaney, as an ex-wife with an ax to grind.
The complex "Helping Out," directed by Connick, focuses on nervous student Ian, played by Jared Martin. Himes, as his flamboyant friend Daniel, steals the show with a dynamic presence. Thennes' nurturing nature and Glecos' bombastic approach as Ian's parents create comic tension that's exacerbated by the arrival of Ian's girlfriend Margot, played with uncouth abandon by Brittany Sloss.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, one of the greatest players to have ever played the game. Tendulkar has been the greatest icon of world cricket for almost two decades now and has several records to his credit.
From the highest number of international centuries to the most ODI and Test runs, to the highest number of Man-of-the-Match and Man-of-the-Series awards, he has achieved it all and still he is criticised every time he fails to score a century.
For heaven's sake, someone should remind these self-proclaimed critics that Tendulkar is a human and not a run machine. Before criticising him, these pundits should remember one simple thing - name a better player than him to play cricket beside Sir Don Bradman or maybe Sir Vivian Richards. A man who started playing for India at the age of 16, Tendulkar hardly had an adolescence before he was shouldering the expectations of billions of Indians, when most of these critics were trying to date their school or college sweethearts. At that time this gentleman was busy setting standards for the whole world to follow, and people think he is being affected by the numbers game, namely his 100th international century? Oh please, give me and his hard core fans a break.
Critics over the last six months have gone overboard and day after day they have been criticising the "Master Blaster" on one thing or the other. Do these critics really understand the game? Have they ever played this game? This is not the tennis-ball gully cricket in which you can chase down 180 in 10 overs. This is a man's game.
For over 20 years, the modern-day Bradman has tormented attacks around the world. Curtly Ambrose and Courtney Walsh were no match for him. Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis did their best but with no reward. Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath tried as hard as they could but they were against the best.
I am shocked by this "quick to praise, quick to blame" attitude and shortsightedness of some of the critics and so called cricket experts. These are the same critics who were going all crazy when he scored his 50th Test ton and these are the same people who are just thrashing him in every article just because India has collectively failed overseas in the past few months. Why is Sachin's hundred to be blamed for this disastrous showing in the Test matches in England and Australia? What are the other ten guys doing in the team, showing middle finger to the crowd and fans?
Whether it is batting, bowling or fielding, this man has everything to help India win. He is the one person capable of bringing his country to a standstill. Whenever Sachin strides into the middle, the crowd goes berserk, TRP ratings and TV volumes go through the roof, tension levels hit an all time high and expectations increase to unprecedented levels.
From a child to an 80-year-old man, all have their sights set on Sachin. Every single time he walks onto the field, why do we expect him to score a ton? Why do we expect him to be a match-winner every time?
I wonder how the experts got into Sachin's head and predicted that the 100th ton is troubling the little master. Even if Sachin gets out on well made 30s, 70s and 80s, they all blame the hundred! Why? He has been out in the 90s many times before when he was no way near this landmark, so what was weighing on his mind then? Will any critic stand up and answer that?
If the ton weighs on his mind all the time, how does he produce such miraculous shots from the very first ball he faces? Shots which the Chappells, Shastris, Manjerekars and Arun Lals have never played or can play to even school kids bowling?
If one has to describe Sachin Tendulkar as a player, he would soon run out of adjectives; words like awesome, brilliant, magnificent are certain to cross your mind, though. He is a genius, with God-given talent no doubt. He stands at the crease, with such wonderful balance and poise and at the same time intimidating the bowlers and dare I say, he can still give the best of the bowlers nightmares.
He has carried the burden of expectations on his broad shoulders and no testimony is required to prove his contribution. He is miles ahead not only in the Indian team, but there is broad daylight between him and the rest of the batsmen who have played the game.
Has Sachin even once said that he is looking forward to that milestone century? Has he even once said to call him God? Has he even once asked to be termed the greatest batsman of the time? No, it's the media that is putting words in his mouth.
We as humans really do not know how to respect or take care of our heroes, whoever it is; whether he is a social worker or a cricketer. We seem to have a problem with successful people. We are always trying to bring down our current stars via suspicion or jealousy, or whatever other reason, after putting them on a pedestal ourselves.
Most appearances in ODI's, most ODI hundreds, most Test hundreds, most international hundreds, most runs in Test and one day-cricket history, most runs in a calendar year, most runs in any World Cup, the pages of record books would prove to be insufficient to record the achievements of this cricketing feat and then also people think he plays for record. Even if he plays, what's the problem with it? He is making those runs for TEAM INDIA and contributing for his country, not for any rival nation.
India loves him not only for his style of play, which is aggressive and fashionable, but also for the way he behaves off the field. He is respectful and one of the most humble guy you would come across. He does not flaunt his wealth, he leads a private life and guards himself from any controversy at all times.
The famous BBC Sport quote will perfectly sum up this article in one line, "Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure."

Beaujolais Nouveau Evening – Thursday 18th November
November 16, 2010
At the strike of midnight on the third thursday of every November, France erupts in massive celebration in honour of the unveiling (or should we say uncorking) of the Beaujolais Nouveau wine.
Beaujolais Nouveau, which is a young wine (only 6 weeks old) comes from a region south of Burgundy. The light-bodied and fruity wine must be finished by Christmas with the French government putting in place regulations that delay the wines release.
Enjoy a fine meal …then sleep on it
March 3, 2010
Whats On North East recently joined us at Chapters for one of our "Gourmet Nights".
It's great going out to eat, but a recent visit to Chapters Hotel and Restaurant in Stokesley proved to be something extra special.
Formerly a coaching inn, the hotel dates back some 250 years and its Gourmet Nights – which include an evening meal, overnight stay and breakfast – sounded the perfect way to unwind and relax.
Arriving in the reception area we were greeted by the manager and he instantly made us feel very welcome. First we headed to our room – and what a lovely touch, sparkling wine on ice with petit fours.
The room was spacious with a wonderful mixture of modern and traditional furniture creating a beautifully elegant environment. Then it was time for food. (more…)

The first of many Chapters Wedded Bliss
April 7, 2007
IT was the hottest day of the year when Helen and Glenn Laville took their vows. After just 12 weeks of planning and organising, the Billingham couple tied the knot in Chapters Hotel and Restaurant in Stokesley, on April 7.
Helen, 26, and Glenn, 39, were the first couple to get married in the 300-year-old listed building on the High Street, which has started catering for civil weddings
"It was fantastic," says Helen, a Health and Safety inspector. "I have friends who have spent two years organising their wedding and it just seemed too stressful.We knew we wanted something quite intimate and personal.We visited big hotels but it was more like a wedding conveyor belt. We also didn't want the massive budget and all the years of planning." (more…)

Dear Members,
Happy Christmas & Happy new year to all my friends!!!Please invite your friends on this good occasion to our noble cause.Bible says "thou shalt not kill"
Animals are my friends and I don't eat my friends." George Bernard Shaw
"Vegetarian food leaves a deep impression on our nature. If the whole world adopts vegetarianism, it can change the destiny of humankind."-Albert Einstein
"The beef industry has contributed to more deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of `real food for real people,' you'd better live real close to a real good hospital." -Neal D. Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Washington, D.CT
The cow is the most important of animals because she is the mother of all the demigods and human beings. Almost everyone in the world daily drinks some cows milk and eats butter, ghee (clarified butter), or cheese made from that milk throughout their lives. Therefore from a moral point of view because we all drink cow's milk, the cow is our mother.
The Ayurveda has detail mentions of importance of Cow's Milk, Curd, Ghee, Urine in the treatment of various human aliments. All these five products obtained from cow are individually called Gavya and collectively termed as Panchagavya.In Sanskrit, Panchagavya means the blend of five products obtained from cow. Panchagavya is made from five products of the cow -- its dung, urine, milk, ghee and curd. Since ages Panchagavya is being used by people of India in traditional rituals. The uses and healing properties of different components of Panchagavya are : 1)Cow Milk : According to Ayurveda, cow milk provides special and unique nutrition that cannot be derived from any other type of food. Cow milk, when digested properly, nourishes all the tissues, promotes balanced emotions, and helps to balance all the doshas. It is one of the most important foods to promote Ojas (the force that maintains life). 2)Cow Ghee : In Ayurveda, cow's Ghee is believed to be the best for human consumption. It is full of nutritive qualities and an ideal diet for these heart patients who suffer due to excessive cholesterol in their blood. Its regular consumption enhances physical and mental strength, keeps the body healthy and increases the potency of the body. It is not only nutritive, but also helps in taking out the impurities from the body. It enhances eyesight, keeps muscles and tendons healthy, and bone sturdy yet supple. 3)Curd/Dahi : Curd is a byproduct of cow milk. The Sanskrit name is for curd is dahi. All the leading practitioners of Ayurveda, including Charaka and Sushruta, have written on its qualities and usefulness. It is considered as one of the most wholesome food items throughout the world. Curd has its therapeutic value in many diseases. It has been described as a tonic and is credited with the properties that prevent premature aging. Curd also brings relief to patients of diarrhoea and dysentery and is recommended in chronic specific and non-specific colitis. 4)Cow Dung : Cow dung is anti-septic. It has anti-bacterial and fungicidal action. Thus a filtrate of the suspension made by thoroughly mixing cow dung and water forms one of the main ingredients of skin ointments, which are useful in serious skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema and gangrene.Cow dung has provided man with fuel for millennia and used it as fertilizer. It may be used as a seed protector, a heat source (cow dung is naturally hot – compost makes it hotter and it is put into glass-houses to heat them or run pipes through to get hot water). It is employed as a purifier (natural antiseptic qualities), floor coating, mud brick additive (improves resistance to disintegration), a skin tonic (mixed with crushed Neem leaves); the smoke is a mosquito repellent, dung is a pond..

Where do we stand in Week 8I look forward to this each week. Great stuff Hagan...
Posted 10-29-2008 at 05:18 PM by saintsfan1976
I can not give up. It's just not in me.Nicely put. They are like a strange marriage. Each person feeding of the other. For the good and the bad.
I sold those paper bags at the dome as a kid. But I never wore one. I thought it was disrespectful to the team. But a buck was a buck. Idiots spent a $1.50 on a 5 Cent bag and that included the maker and the time to make it. Looking back on it now it also tells alot about the type of fans we had then and well still do.
Booing seems to in fashion. I was brought up it was something negative you did to the refs and the opposing teams. If your team is struggling it was up to the fans to help the team as best as they could to turn things around. Cheering them to victory no matter what. Yep I sound like a RUDDY movie I know but that is what a fan is all about. The 12th man lifts the teams spirit in times of need. Booing at the drop of a hat makes wonder why these people even come to the games. Are they there out of love for the team or because having tickets is in fashion? I am going with fashion. Most will be the first let there season tickets go when the team heads south. You know those fans with a bag on their heads back then were probably better fans than most of the Boo birds we have today.
Nice blog Sapper.

I want Gramatica Gone and I want Haluchi Fined!!If we're going to miss kicks like that, at least let it be the rookie. It's disappointing that a seasoned vet let Martin continues to help us lose games weekly. I bet everytime someone passes him in the locker room they just want to give him a backhand.
You can tell he has a strong leg... but it's of no use if he can't kick it in between the uprights. It's time to move on... he's had more than one chance to redeem himself. I will be extremely surprised and baffled if he's still on this roster come Sunday.

They all picked tOSU to stomp on the Tigers last year and we all saw what happened. USC over the past 3 years... loses to Oregon State, Stanford, and Oregon State. Enough said.
It's a given the SEC is the best conference... why they continue to call USC and Ohio State the best team in NCAA football boggles my mind. I don't mind being in the shadows... but enough with "They're the best team ever!" BS every single year.

Your car, like you and your family, is an important part of your life. Just like you, it needs to be insured to with an auto insurance policy. You need to research all kinds and find the best ones that offer affordable rates and coverage should anything happen to your vehicle. These tips below can help you with that.
When considering auto insurance for a young driver, be sure to check with multiple insurance agencies to not only compare rates, but also any perks that they might include. It also cannot hurt to shop around once a year to see if any new perks or discounts have opened up with other companies. If you do find a better deal, let your current provider know about it to see if they will match.
It's very important to keep your driving record spotless. If accidents or tickets appear on your driving record, they may lead to your insurance rates going up. There are times when you can't avoid the accident or ticket, so you should check out traffic school to see if this will help clean your record and make your insurance premiums lower.
Know what kind of car insurance coverage your company offers and what is out there. It can help you decide what you might need individually or for your whole family. If your company does not offer what you are looking for there are many others out there.
Auto insurance for young drivers is very costly. You can save some money by choosing the right kind of car for your teenager to drive. If you allow your teen to drive the Mustang, prepare to pay through the roof. If, on the other hand, you restrict your teen to the most "beater"-like car you own, your premiums will be notably lower.
Before you decide to purchase any young driver insurance policy, one of the first things you should do is calculate your total mileage. Some people do not drive their vehicles that often, and they may be privy to certain discounts if they only use their automobiles for work use or other limited uses. Driving less means you are less of a risk.
If you are a young driver with a high rate, add a responsible older driver to your policy to help get it lowered. Insurance companies look at the age of the drivers, as well as, their driving records, so adding someone over the age of thirty, who has a clean record, will quickly drop your premiums.
Do not forget to update your car insurance policy if you relocate. Even if you are only moving a few miles away, make the changes. You may not like what you see, though, because premiums are set by zip code. In one town it could be higher because the theft and collision rates are higher.
When you get older, you will want to have your vision checked regularly. Some states have made mandatory eye testing a requirement for a senior license. This will keep you and the others around you a bit safer; even if your state does not require the test, be safe and have it done on your own.
Some insurance providers will not provide the senior-driver discount unless you complete a mature driver safety course. It is a class that is a lot like the defensive driver course but focuses on the many driving issues that an older driver may face each day. It will save you money and maybe even save your life.
Start carpooling. Many car insurance providers will charge you less if you do not drive your vehicle often. If you drive less than 7,500 miles a year, your premiums might be significantly lower. If you are unable to carpool, try taking the bus or some other form of public transportation.
Protect yourself, your passengers, and your insurance premiums by opting for cars with added or enhanced safety features whenever possible. Front and side airbags, passive restraint systems, and a variety of other safety options make your chance of serious injury much less in the event of an accident, which then keeps medical costs to a minimum. This translates into big savings for drivers of vehicles with these options.
Getting auto insurance for your car ensures that if anything happens to it, it can be fixed. That may not work the same as with a human life, but similar to insurance for people, it is really important to your future. So, do yourself a favor and do your research and apply the above tips to your policy hunt.

On weekend mornings, while much of the city sleeps, Amarillo National Bank patriarch Tol Ware guides his 6-year-old Lincoln past branch offices, eyeing the flowers and the grass.
"He likes to just make sure everything's in order, that the landscaping's being taken care of," said Patrick Ware, grandson of Tol, who at 93 remains unperturbed by advancing years. "Civic beauty is very important to him."
What Tol Ware saw during his drives last summer disturbed him: beyond the branches, a city turned barren, swaths of brown stretching across parks, trees brittle and dying, the beauty stripped and public land laid to waste.
"It was like the moon," Patrick Ware said. "Our granddad just saw this as a tragedy. He mentioned it to us, and we began looking at it."
That provided the tinder for a debate that finally sparked last week, when Amarillo Globe-News senior reporter Kevin Welch followed up with the younger Ware and city officials about an item in the bank's newsletter questioning city water policies.
Specifically, Patrick Ware wondered about the ostensible illogic of the city reducing watering last year amid drought, then spending taxpayer money to replace trees killed in the process. Might it have been cheaper to simply have watered the trees in the first place?
The answer is elusive, officials said. City crews for years have been replacing trees either nearing or at the end of their life spans, so no one knows which trees being replaced now were fallen by drought, by time or by disease.
At Ross Rogers Golf Course, where more than 200 trees succumbed, the issue is thornier. Work to replace an aging irrigation system began there at what proved to be the worst time, with the city in the early throes of the driest year on record. Weather officials recorded just 7 inches of precipitation in Amarillo last year, less than half the annual average during the Dust Bowl.
"The trees at Ross Rogers weren't getting any irrigation because the system was being dismantled," City Manager Jarrett Atkinson said. "In 2010, we had a very wet year, so it wouldn't have been a problem under those conditions. But that's not how it worked out last year."
Normalcy — what semblance of it can be found — has since returned to the weather. That suggests, to the Wares' thinking, that city officials might have overreacted, treating the drought as the new meteorological order of things rather than an anomaly.
Further, the city possesses more water per-capita than any other town in the state, providing a supply sufficient to last 200 years. So, said Patrick Ware, officials ought to stop "acting like we live in a desert."
But officials also concede uncertainty about the supply. Lake Meredith — soon to be Pond Meredith and later, Puddle Meredith — has ceased its function as a water contributor. The Ogallala Aquifer, the underground reservoir, is shrinking with nothing to feed it.
Nature is battling to keep pace, specifically with agricultural demand, an especially cogent point of the Wares'. Farming makes up 88 percent of water use in the Texas Panhandle. Less than three percent of use in the High Plains Underground Water District went to Amarillo and Lubbock in 2009.
"So it's not about watering parks and trees," Patrick Ware said.
Indeed, it's not.
It's about watering corn and cotton. It's about feeding economic lifeblood to a region where farming almost a century ago brought the dust in clouds.
Solutions addressing the critical impact of irrigation on the water supply are more complex and more difficult, both practically and politically, than letting trees die. But these kinds of solutions are dramatically more substantive. No matter how brown the grass turns in Ellwood Park, it won't save the Ogallala.
The Wares note that switching from corn to cotton on 10 percent of the region's farms would save roughly as much water as Amarillo and Lubbock use. They also point out that water laws in Colorado and Kansas are far more restrictive than in Texas. Implying a need for increased regulation is a good way to start a fight around these parts.
Still, it's the argument that needs had. Otherwise, officials might as well keep spitting in the wind, wondering why they're wet.

AGANG SA leader Mamphela Ramphele has accepted an invitation by the Democratic Alliance (DA) to be its presidential candidate in this year's national elections.
The two parties plan to set up a joint technical committee to manage the integration of their structures, DA leader Helen Zille announced at a press briefing in Cape Town on Tuesday morning.
Ms Zille, seated next to Dr Ramphele, said this was a "game-changing" moment for South Africa. Dr Ramphele will be the face of the DA on the national ballot paper and she and Ms Zille plan to go on a countrywide roadshow to present the new face of the party and explain the reasons behind the move.
Political analyst Daniel Silke said the fact that Dr Ramphele had joined forces with the DA was "an admission that her go-it-alone efforts have largely failed and she severely underestimated the practical and logistical difficulties of establishing a new political party in South Africa."
Dr Ramphele said, however, that she believed the decision to join the two parties was made "in the best interests of South Africa as we head into turbulent waters".
She said the DA was the "government in waiting", adding: "We are the representatives of millions of South Africans who believe in the promise and potential of a multiparty democracy.
"This is the time to bring our country's fantastic resources together, not for the few but for the many, not just for insiders but for all."
She added: "We are coming together to fulfil the promises of 1994 and restore our journey to the country of our dreams. Together we are greater than the sum of our parts."
She said the partnership would deliver the South Africa of people's dreams, and stressed that it was time to put the country first. The ground has shifted in South African politics, former president Nelson Mandela has died and the "broad church" of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) is fragmenting, she said.
Dr Ramphele had to defend her decision when journalists confronted her with her former opinions that the ordinary people of South Africa could not vote for the DA. She said she had been referring to the DA as it was at the time.
"For the DA, her joining will be seen as a much-needed shot-in-the-arm for the party's hitherto lacklustre election launch and will potentially galvanise a renewed enthusiasm for the campaign," Mr Silke said.
As the DA is unlikely to become the ruling party with Dr Ramphele as president of South Africa, she would become an MP. Ms Zille said she would have to go through the normal election procedures with the DA's parliamentary caucus for the election of parliamentary leaders.
Agang crisis
Agang, which entered the political scene last year amid much pomp and fanfare, was in recent weeks seen to be facing an internal crisis, with sources both within the party and outside saying some members were becoming disgruntled with the direction of the party its leadership.
Speculation had been rife ahead of the briefing that a merger of some sort with Agang was on the cards. Ms Zille and Dr Ramphele are long-time friends and in many ways share political views, though Dr Ramphele has in the past been an outspoken critic of the DA.
On Tuesday, however, Dr Ramphele was emphatic that the merger decision was not prompted by the fact that Agang was on the verge of financial collapse. "The only party that is bankrupt is the ANC," she said.
A number of well-known personalities have been linked with the DA since the party this weekend announced its candidates for public posts after national elections later this year. At least six "confidential" places were reserved for people yet to be named.
Another one of the "confidential candidates" is Glynnis Breytenbach, the outspoken prosecutor at the National Prosecuting Authority.
A parliamentary observer said on Tuesday: "The DA have long battled to get someone with strong struggle credentials into their party. Dr Ramphele fits that requirement perfectly."
Ms Zille told the press briefing that the DA's interaction with Dr Ramphele had continued over a long time as they examined all the options available to them. Circumstances had changed dramatically since these talks first kicked off last year and came to nothing.
Now, she said, "we have an agreement politically and only have to work out the technical details".
Ms Zille also said that two-thirds of the DA federal executive, which met on Friday, had approved the decision to put Dr Ramphele at the top of the party's list of election candidates.
She said that when she was elected DA leader in 2007 she set out a case for the realignment of politics in South Africa. "I said then that political change will come about as the old political formations become obsolete. We can see this happening now."
Dr Ramphele said she believed the merger was a historic moment and would "take away the excuse of race and challenge the ANC to be judged on its performance" by acting as a bridge across the divide of race-identity politics.

In the past few months, we've all worn down the soles of our shoes pretty well. I joked around w/ my neighbor yesterday, "sorry man, I'm not down for a bike ride, I ran a 10K today." He asked which one, and my response was "The Hustle Paintball Tuesday Orders 10K." Running around, picking and packing orders has kept us all in shape, and even though we're all working pretty consistent 7am – 6pm shifts, it just doesn't seem like a job in the typical dreary, long-hours, I-hate-my-life way you might imagine. As Jay said a few weeks back, "we're all in this together, this is our family and we will all bleed together!"
It's great to have a crew like I do, everyone has a positive attitude and tons of energy (needed for the 10K's), but more than that, everyone is willing to work together and encourage each other to get our work done. We've made a big promise to you, the paintball community, our extended family, and that is "We will build a community website for you (www.pbriot.com/forum.php), we will sell everything that you want to buy at the best price possible (www.hustlepaintball.com), we will bust out as many information & entertaining videos as humanly possible (www.youtube.com/hustlepaintball), and, as always, Customer Service is King." (yes, I know, it's a long promise, but it's a lot of stuff) It takes a lot of hard work to back up a promise like that, but we're doing it! (Now, if we can just clean out the video studio so we can start popping videos out once more)
But, moving forward, how are we going to keep up? Haha, well that's still a challenge for us to overcome as it continues to arise, but rest assured that we are happy to be bleeding to get this all taken care of (and still have enough time to go play paintball on the weekend). We've got new t-shirts, patches, hats, stickers and more that are going to be available soon, so everyone (us included) can display some Hustle love. Keep your eyes peeled for that, and we've also got a crew headed to Living Legends 5 to shoot people on our behalf (Justin & the Social Paintball crew) as well. Hopefully, we'll be able to attend these events ourselves, but in the meantime, we're sending some trusted Allies on behalf We're stoked to see the videos of gameplay (and shenanigans) coming from them very soon as well.
I had intended to write a bit more, but I've got to get back to it and help my crew keep up with the madness It's good to get so much good feedback from you all, but we won't rest on our laurels and just enjoy it. That's what many other companies in this industry do, but that's just the start of the slow slide back into mediocrity. As was requested on my last blog, I'd like to end with a decree – "We will keep striving to be better, especially when the others give up."
Decree #2 (since I didn't have one previously) – "Let everyone enjoy consistent paintball, good weather and friendly people when they play this weekend (and next)"
Thank you all for your support and input, we truly value you as our extended family.

text: I will agree with those opposed to marriage equality that marriage is a religious institution. While people may have been procreating and living in familial relationships before the institution was conceived of, the concept of marriage, as far as I know, was brought into existence by religion. Therefore, I believe that the decision as to what constitutes marriage should be left up to the religious leaders themselves.
