September 01, 2013-Aug 31, 2017d. 10% effortTitle: Multicenter Career Development Program for Physical and Occupational Therapists (PT/OT CDP) Abstract: This training grant is an institutional K-12 support mechanism for physical and occupational therapists. The goal of this proposal is to establish a Multicenter Career Development Program for Physical and Occupational Therapists (PT/OT CDP) targeted at new investigators so that they can acquire the skills to address the need for research that validates rehabilitation approaches, optimizes treatments and incorporates new technologies to manage disease and conditions that limit peoples' potential to live productive and healthy lives.

Role on Project: Site Principal Investigatorf. Dec 01, 2011 – Nov 30, 2015g. 10% effortTitle: Exploratory Study Of Different Doses Of Endurance Exercise In People With Parkinson Disease: The SPARX Study The overall objective of this Phase II study is to determine the futility or non-futility of conducting a Phase III randomized controlled trial to determine the effects of exercise on the progression of PD symptoms. The primary aim is to determine whether individuals with de novo Parkinson's disease (naïve to drug treatment) can achieve the randomly assigned levels of mean exercise intensity (60-65% HRmax or 80-85% HRmax) and adhere to the exercise protocol. The secondary aims are to determine: 1) whether moderate- or high-intensity endurance exercise [or both] warrants further investigation as a therapeutic intervention for motor symptoms in the treatment of de novo Parkinson's disease by conducting a futility trial, and 2) the incidence of adverse events and 6-month attrition associated with endurance exercise for each exercise arm (i.e., mean 60-65% HRmax and mean 80-85% HRmax groups).Design and Outcomes: This will be a Phase II, multisite, randomized, evaluator-blinded, no exercise controlled, exploratory clinical trial of the effects of 26 weeks of endurance exercise on the ability of patients with Parkinson's disease to exercise at the assigned heart rates. Outcome variables include: Exercise intensity; Change in UPDRS motor; Adherence to exercise; Attrition; Adverse events.

Easy Healthy Whole Wheat Flax Pizza Crust
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 15 mins
This is an adaptation from my other pizza crust recipe. This one is 10x healthier, and just as easy! Yum! Note: Altitude can affect how much moisure is absorbed in this recipe. DONT OMIT THE SUGAR, IT HELPS ACTIVATE THE YEAST! (in response to a review)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 100 ml whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
- 1⁄2 ml salt (less than 1/8 tsp)
- 75 ml warm water (or a bit more)
- 30 ml all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- Preheat oven to 425.
- In a large bowl, stir together first 4 ingredients.
- Pour warm water into first 4 ingredients, mixing strongly.
- Add flaxseed first, then add additional flour and stir until dough forms a ball, noting that not all the flour will likely be picked up by the dough ball.
- gently knead dough on floured surface until smooth.
- Cover and let rise for 5 minutes.
- grease 9inch pie plate, and spread dough in it.
- put on tomato sauce, toppings, then cheese, and put in oven for 15-20 minutes.

First, This stuff is fantastic and super healthy, but really who wants to be that healthy? i pre-cook the crust for about 7-10 min and let is rise for WAY longer, then topped it with some gravy, mashed taters, corn, chicken (cooked in the crock yesterday) with a little Romano cheese. YUMMY time. I always 4x this recipe and makes two perfect pizzas. the leftovers are better than anything, yet there never seem to be any. Thanks!!
Easy, fast, healthy, AND tasty. Wonderful recipe.
I thought this was a fabulous recipe! I had to make some adjustments--first of all, converting the measurements to US was a bit tough but it all worked out in the end! I didn't have any flax in the house (made this at the last minute) so I had to leave it out! I added garlic powder & italian seas to the crust, and used part white & oat flour for more fiber. I used a 9 inch bar pan & baked this in my toaster oven at 400 for about 12 min. I ate about 3/4 of it & gave the rest to my husband to taste-test as well. We both thought it was totally yummy. I thought the dough was pretty easy to work with--used a spoon but next time will pull out my hand mixer with the dough hooks:-). Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!!
UPDATE: wasn't sure if I should share this, but after 1-2 tries I managed to come up with a THIN CRUST version. I love thin crust, and while this recipe on its own is not very thick, I decided to thin it up even more. If anyone would like me to share it, pls msg me & I'll share!

What's going on with Soma?
If nothing else it would serve as a great recruitment tool for Microsoft. I can't even image how much time it takes new hires just to get a handle on the codebase of some of these larger projects.
This seems like a really good offering. I'm definitely interested in learning more.
Jeez. I'm glad that I chose to spend my time learning TypeScript. There's nothing worse that investing time in something to find out that it has been deprecated.
Although I've love the Visual Studio experience with TypeScript, I wish that the module syntax was more inline with ES2015 / ES6.
I'm not sure of Angular attracts bad programmers or if there is just a void of best practices, but there is a lot of really bad Angular code and or advice floating around.
So many people are drawn to Angular just because it's from Google.
I don't know how many of you have tried EmberJS since Ember-CLI came out, but if you haven't recently, I would give it a shot.
So many things just work. The whole framework is geared towards making good architectural choices, while making it clear when you're doing something wrong.
I haven't been more productive or had so much fun writing code in a long time. The community is also incredibly positive, energized, and helpful.
I haven't figured out how to get TypeScript and Ember to get along yet, but when I do, I'll surely be using both.
EmberConf 2015 just finished, and the Keynote is up on YouTube, if you want to see something like a State of the Union keynote.
Looking at the import statements in the TypeScript 1.5 announcements, some of the ES6 module discrepancies may have been eliminated.

ThaiBev puts Thai youngsters on road to a pitch-side seat at 'El Clasico'
ThaiBev kicked off the Chang Road to El Clasico in Udon Thani over the weekend, with an overwhelming response from young soccer players hoping to earn a chance travel to a Real Madrid vs Barcelona match.
The three-month tournament comes after the makers of Chang beer secured an unprecedented Bt500-million sponsorship deal with the two Spanish La Liga giants. The winners of the four-a-side event will gain firsthand experience of arguably the world's most anticipated battle on a soccer pitch, between two sides boasting some of the globe's best players.
Udon Thani was the first of nine regional legs leading up to the national finals in Bangkok on September 9 at CentralWorld. The first leg, at UD Town Shopping Mall, was swamped by locals who enjoyed fairground games and fun photo opportunities provided by full-size models of Real Madrid and Barcelona players.
Entering via a players' tunnel normally only seen at soccer grounds, fans were greeted by a display of boots and shirts in a mock-up dressing room.
Sorrakit Latitham, ThaiBev's marketing manager, hoped the event, under the company's "Live Like You Mean It" campaign, would help spur a generation of youngsters.
"Of course, our main aim in this project is to provide soccer players across the country the opportunity to showcase their skills, and we'll take the winners to watch 'El Clasico', in Spain.
"The atmosphere is unique in Spanish stadiums that have a capacity of 100,000. You cannot find it anywhere else, even in England. We are keen to offer ordinary Thai players this unique opportunity to watch arguably the world's two best teams in action. We hope the experience will help inspire the young generation to improve themselves on and off the pitch."
The sponsorship has spawned other plans too, with Sorrakit revealing that a training programme based on knowledge from Spain was in the pipeline.
"Rather than sending our kids to train there, I think it would be more beneficial if we trained them here and used a programme developed from the methods those two clubs employ. Here it can be done with a greater number of children.
"Everything is in place as we already have the ThaiBev Football Academy (TBFA). And, we're already holding board-level discussions about upgrading the TBFA to the 'Chang Academy' so that everyone who loves football can train and play there."

Shall We Dance?
JA already blogged about the Ultima Salon2 demo we attended yesterday, but I just had to second his praise with an additional rave: These large speakers are incredibly light on their feet. Yes, the bass was impressive, and, yes, they sounded fabulous on vocals, but for me, it was their ability to change rhythmic directions on a tack-head that was most impressive.
So, it seemed appropriate to post a photo of Kevin Voecks waltzing them around the room. Kevin led.

Mining Hard Hats
Mining hard hats are especially designed to protect workers in mines, caves, and other dark, tightly confined spaces.
There are a number of different mining hard hats to choose from. The one that you should use depends on a number of things, such as the specific requirements of the work site, your particular job on the work site, and of course your personal preferences, just to name a few.
However, we have found that the MSA Comfo-Cap, shown below, meets the needs of the majority of customers. It is in fact the most popular mining hard hat currently on the market.
A couple of things makes this hard hat an ideal head protection piece for the mine worker.
First, it has a low-clearance crown. This is very important because when you are working in mines you will frequently encounter low celing areas. You need to get through these areas with ease to work efficiently and to avoid injury. Furthermore, you also have to be careful not to disturb the walls as much as possible to help prevent ceiling collapse in areas with weak structural integrity. A traditional hard hat design, with a prominent crown, is simply not fit for the job of a miner.
MSA Comfo-Cap mining hard hats have a polycarbonate hard shell that is light weight yet extremely tough. Furthermore, the hard hat's crown features molded cross ridges, which are specially designed to enhance the level of rigidity and strength, particularly vital for miners, whose heads get banged up practically every day.
At the same time, these mining hard hats are non slotted, so although you cannot attach hard hat accessories other than a lamp, this helps to assure the wearer does not get caught onto any tight spaces or protruding objects within the mine. Furthermore, it also allows falling objects to slide right off should they strike the wearer's head, which reduces the risk that he will get pinned or dragged down by such objects.
MSA Comfo Cap mining hard hats are equipped with brackets on the front end above the brim so the user can attach a headlamp. That way, you will have a light source to help you get around. Although it is wise to always have a flashlight with you, it is nice to have both hands free, especially when you are deep within a mine in a tight corridor and its pitch black everywhere around you.
A number of merchants will sell this model, and it will usually come stocked with MSA's mid-grade suspension sytem, which it calls Staz-On. It's not a bad setup. The crown straps are made out of Nylon, so it provides more cushion and comfort than basic plastic suspension systems. This is a four point suspension system that will disperse the impact of anything that may strike the hard shell across four points on the helmet. Fit adjustments are made via a smooth sliding, releasable positive locking mechanism.
This model meets or exceeds all ANSI Z89.1-2003 requirements for a Type 1 (top impact) Class G (electrical, low voltage) hard hat.
Available colors are white, blue, yellow, orange, red, green, and black.
If you are interested in using MSA Comfo-Caps, you can purchase them for $50 – $60 each.

I actually didn't buy this myself, but got it for Christmas from Daz! One of the best presents ever, I have to say! Kitten themed clothes is hard to beat, ha! This jumper is so easy to wear. I think I've worn it every single weekend since I got it, it's such a comfy material and shape! You can pair it with leggings, shorts, jeans.. literally anything. I usually wear a vest top underneath as it's been quite freezing outside lately.
To be honest, I was a bit worried at first that it might be itchy and that the gems (on eyes & whiskers) were gonna fall out in the washing machine, but no - no damage done at all, and it's incredibly soft to touch! Yay!
As I've already said, this cute jumper is now on sale on the Wallis website - it used to be £35 (Oh god, yes. Bless Daz for gettin' it for me!) but it's down to £25 now!

Columbia Crest Winery
Columbia Crest is one of the largest wineries in the United States, and the largest in the Northwestern United States. Columbia Crest is located in a beautiful Chateau in Woodinville, Washington, built by the winery in 1982. By 1983, Columbia Crest had invested $26 million in the Washington winery, a sum that has been returned many times over as the winery was immediately successful, and continues to be one of the most successful wineries in the world.
More About Columbia Crest Winery
By 1990, noted wine critic Robert Parker had named Columbia Crest one of the 24 "best value wineries". So many awards and kudos have been awarded that we literally don't have room to list them all here.In 1992, Columbia Crest began viticultural and enological research on microclimates and irrigation that continues today.
Columbia Crest has pioneered vineyard and winery research in the Northwest. In March, 1999, Columbia Crest released the results of their six year study on irrigation in the Northwest. In 1999, Columbia Crest added a new, $7 million red wine fermentation facility to its winery. The expansion introduced to Columbia Crest rotary fermenters, a high-tech heating and cooling system that can be monitored and adjusted from a remote location, and fermentation, storage and blending tanks in varying sizes. The expansion will help winemaker Doug Gore to create even more fine, handcrafted wines.

HONOLULU (AP) - The University of Hawaii plans to begin renting textbooks to students this month.
The school said more than 300 titles and 14,000 textbooks will be available for rent. The cost of renting a book is about 40 to 50 percent of what it costs to buy a textbook at full price.
Books available for rent are listed on the bookstore website and will be at the school's eight bookstore locations starting today. Rentals are available on a first-come-first-served basis.
UH Bookstore Branch Stores Manager Tricia Ejima said students may write in or highlight in their rentals just as they would with a book they've bought. She said renting textbooks is one of the best ways to save money.

Followers of Muhammad's example - Believe that the first four caliphs were rightly guided; that Muslim rulers should follow the Sunna or Muhammad's example; lastly that the Shi'a have distorted the meaning of various passages of the Qur'an
A group of people who rejected the luxurious life of the Umayyads and they pursued a life of poverty and made a devotion to a spiritual path
After repel against the Umayyads, the Abbasids came to power in 750. The Abbasids moved to a new capital and developed a strong bureaucracy to conduct the huge empire's affairs. They had groups to manage the business and the army. Overall they were very successful
A place where the Berber armies stopped in the middle of the war and created a Muslim state here
A caliphate which was formed by Shi'a Muslims who claimed descent from Muhammad's daughter Fatima
House Of Widsom

Five Pillar: Faith
To become a Muslim, a person would have to testify to the statement of faith - "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah."
Five Pillar: Prayer
Five times every day, Muslims face toward Mecca to pray. They assemble at a mosque
Five Pillar: Alms
Muhammad taught that all Muslims have a responsibility to support the less fortunate. Muslims meet that social responsibility by giving alms (money) for the poor through a special religious tax
Five Pillar: Fasting
During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast between dawn and sunset. A simple meal is eaten at the end of the day. Fasting serves to remind Muslims that their spiritual needs are greater than their physical needs

Golden Bolts: Three Holo-plans: One
Weapons: Nano-Swarmers, Buzz Blades
There are two routes at the beginning of the level: 1) the road to the Pirate Hideout, and 2) an on-rails section containing the Armor Magnetizer, an item that polarizes your armor to attract bolts from great distances. We chose the road the Pirate Hideout, first.
Objective: Infiltrate the Pirate Hideout
The road to the Pirate Hideout is infested with Space Pirates. By now, you'll have the Nano-Swarmer in your arsenal, an item of enormous value and power, great when surrounded by the enemy -- use it often during your stay Planet Ardolis in order to level-up its powers. Follow the road to the hideout until you stop at a wall, where the game promptly tells you to use your Geo Laser. Aim at the yellow circles on the wall, cutting each of them sequentially, opening a hole into the Sardollow Caves.
Sardollow Caves
The caves are light on platforming challenges, but filled with annoying Pirates and flying and grounded creatures. At one point, you're forced to use the Geo Laser on a large stalactite on the roof of the cave, and on the ground, the stalactite will be used as a bridge to scale across a gap and onto higher ground. Then, use the Geo Laser again, this time to cut a hole in the wall, exposing a large gathering of Space Pirates.
Stand back when you're opening the door, because a large, powerful Pirate comes bursting in the room. Backpedal to the main room, while firing your Combuster and avoiding his fire. If the Combuster isn't working, throw a Nano-Swarmer by his feet.
Now, make your way to the lift with the flashing blue lights on the ground, and ride down the zipline.
"We've found it," says Ratchet. "But what is it?" asks Clank.
Objective: Meet at Pirate Radio HQ
Walk to the edge of the platform, where you'll see a small Pirate ship and two blue lights in the background. Use the Swingshot to jump across the gap and to land on the ship, on which you'll ride a lift marked by blue lights on the floor at the back of the ship. At the top of the lift, take the zipline down to another ship docked at a Pirate Base. Cross the bridge and into the base.
Inside, defeat all the Space Pirates to gain access to the elevator. (Use a Nano-Swarmer to kill them easily, or continue using the Ravager.) Then, board the Pirate ship.
Holo-plan: Look to the right of the room to spot a bright yellow circle. Use the Heli-Pod to open the latch, then walk onto the balcony where you'll find the Holo-plan in the crates.
Pirate Radio HQ
Golden Bolt: A Pirate Doorkeeper guards a Golden Bolt in the room next to the exit. Remember, you can only enter the door with a Pirate Disguise found in the Return to Fight Festival on Planet Mukow.
Return back to the spaceship by using the teleporter. Now, you may explore the other side of the Pirate Hideout, or jet off to Rykan V.
Golden Bolt
In Pirate Radio HQ behind the door guarded by the Pirate Doorkeeper. It's right after you beat the boss but before you exit. Be prepared to shake your booty in the Pirate Disguise to gain access.
Golden Bolt
Found on a Pirate ship at the southern tip of the map (look at the screenshot for the location of the Golden Bolt.) You must throw two Heli-Pods to lift a crane up to the same level as the Pirate ship.
Remember when you were attacked by the gang of Pirates in the Sardollow Caves? Go into the room and look for the Pirate Doorkeeper in the east. Appear before him in your Pirate Disguise, and it'll let you through.
Look to the right of the room to spot a bright yellow circle. Use the Heli-Pod to open the latch, then walk onto the balcony where you'll find the Holo-plan in the crates.

Religious salvation and Winslow Homer's 'Shipwreck'
Prints of American painter Winslow Homer's seascapes, children at rest and play (such as this Museum of Fine Arts, Houston engraving), and hunting scenes are almost as frequent fixtures on the walls of bedrooms and college dorms as are Edward Hopper's Nighthawks and Andrew Wyeth's Christina's World.
But there is more at play in Homer's seascapes, argues the curator of a new Homer exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Homer, though he was "not an openly religious person," may have intended for viewers to see religious symbolism in his depictions of shipwrecks.…

text: John Wooden and Spencer Shiraishi (The Maui News, Sept. 3) were examples of excellent character and integrity. Although, I had never met coach Wooden personally, that rolled up newspaper was my weekend addiction to college basketball. His grace, persona and management of athletes, would be on par with the coaching skills of coach Shiraishi.

In Wednesday's post I said the 10th person to tell a Hurricane Ike story would win an ice cream cone.
Well, things didn't go exactly as I intended because the 10th person to respond was Jerry Martin, who told an Ike mother-in-law joke.
My question had been: What did you lose during the storm?
And Jerry answered:
My mother-in-law. Last time we saw her, a big wave washed her out the window. We lost house and all. My mother-in-law survived and has been searching for us. We are at_____________.
In these parts, Ike's still not very funny, and I ain't crazy about mother-in-law jokes, either. But Jerry still won the ice cream cone, and here's his picture and what he had to say about himself:
My name is Jerry Martin
H-E-B is where I buy my ice cream (no sugar).
I am 69, retired, flawlessly handsome, built like a Greek god and modest.
Happily married to a very lucky woman and have five grown children who are still trying to find their way back also.
I was quite comfortable during IKE, namely like an old scout, I was well prepared and had no loss.

Otolaryngologists frequently care for patients with injuries that violate multiple aspects of the facial skeleton and skull base. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is a common complication after skull base trauma. Two percent of head injuries and 12% to 30% of all basilar skull fractures result in CSF leak.1 In a retrospective review2 of 820 fractured temporal bones, 122 CSF fistulae were noted. Posttraumatic CSF leaks originate most commonly from frontal or ethmoid sinus fractures or appear after longitudinal temporal bone fracture.3 Typically, CSF leak presents as clear nasal drainage or meningitis. We describe a case of swelling in the midface under a radial forearm fasciocutaneous free flap that was used to reconstruct the palate, midface, and skull base. Initial evaluation of this painless, slow induration 1 year after enucleation of orbital remnants was highly suspicious for a skull base CSF leak, mucocele, or encephalocele. Surgical exploration and final pathologic analysis revealed an unusual presentation of a dermatologic entity: apocrine hidrocystoma.
Figure 3. Axial (A) and coronal (B) computed tomographic scans demonstrating fluid collection under the flap.
Figure 4. Photomicrographs of the resected lesion. The cystic wall and pseudopapillae are lined by 2 rows of cells forming a luminal epithelium with apocrine differentiation and a basal myoepithelium. Note the lack of nuclear atypia and mitotic figures in the luminal epithelium (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×20 [A] and ×40 [B]).

QueenOnline On Tour: Notes From The Road Part 3
The taste of things to come…
Today is dress rehearsal day, the full run through of the arena show. Things just got real.
Firstly, thanks for all the feedback so far on the updates; I am not trying to be funny or clever, just throwing it all out there in the way that I see it.
Secondly, a little mention about the football. England lost, yes, but at least we played with a lot of heart and, I felt, we absolutely went for it. A bunch of us from the crew hit a very scruffy sports bar to watch the game. It was the perfect setting actually, a mix of hardened but entertaining barmaids, big screens, a rowdy atmosphere and us, a bunch of Brits providing a novelty for the locals. We left in good heart, with croaky voices and confidence after the game...I'm not sure if it was the pride in watching our young lions offering hope on the pitch or the beer if I am honest. Rock n' Roll football.
Once again it was down to the rehearsal hangar for 8.30am after being picked up by Doug one of our drivers. Doug is great, the journey in the van is only a short one, but in every journey he manages to give us all a general US news update, crack several jokes and rely about three of his rock n' roll stories in about 6 minutes, he really is quite the force of nature, but we love him. This whole circus is just full of characters and I was about to meet another...
"Nick, this is Neil."
Neil Fairclough, the bassist for the tour, what a lovely man. What is it about Northerners from the UK? They are so damn friendly. He even admitted to reading my Notes From The Road blog, I thought he was just being nice, but he really had! Another thing about Neil is that he is so funny and entertaining, you can see why he got the gig, not only do you have to get on musically of course, but personally too. I could also hear Spike arriving outside the Production office; you ALWAYS know when Spike is in the house, a whole bunch of nonsense is normally round the corner. Not long after, Brian also popped his head in and gave us all a smile too.
Tonight we load out and lock up the stage and all that comes with it and get set for Chicago on the 19th, but before that tomorrow evening we have the our event down at the iHeart Radio Theater. This one off over in Burbank is small show for sure, but a big deal for the few hundred who are going to be in attendance, for which I am lucky to be one.
So how did the dress rehearsal go you ask? I know that is all you really want to know about. Am I going to give you any pointers of what to expect? I have already hinted at a few treats in the set list, but no, that is your lot I am afraid. Think about it though, this is a Queen show. It's big, it's bright, it's loud and packed full of soul, that's a pretty good start don't you think? The music is not too bad either.
See you on the road!

QueenOnline On Tour: Notes From The Road Part 3
Jonathan w
Keep on rocking ,my son. Did not realise you could write so well.keeping us both entertained back homeland glad you are living your dream!
Sad to not be able to afford even the cheap tix but as a lifelong Queen fan it's been exciting to read these behind-the-scenes posts. Nick does a marvelous job of making readers feel as if we're there beside him on what must be the trek of a lifetime for anyone who loves the band. I'll continue to direct all my money to my wife's medical bills and experience the tour vicariously through Nick's excited eyes and ears, which he filters through his keyboard for our perusal and ultimate enjoyment. Thanks Nick and keep up the great work!
PS: More on this Malandrone fellow please :)
Hi Nick! Well you have us " straining at the leash," anticipating any little tidbit that you can share with us! Thanks for mentioning Neil's name, which I didn't know.I noticed what a fine musician he is & what a pleasant face he has on stage. and he certainly deserves recognition. Adam is sure to please with his wardrobe which is always rock & roll! Can't wait to see it! Please hide the hair clippers from him if you can, as before a major event Adam has been known to shave the sides of his head with a plucked chicken look which is a travesty with his thick, lush locks that anyone would die for . He looked so perfect on the last Queen mini-tourin Eastern Europe & UK. Just looking out for him, as the world will be watching this drop dead , good looking work of art! :) Brian & Roger are always coolness personified! Still 4 more days!
I want to Thank you from my heart for listening to us, Devoted fans of yours and Adams yo do a tour of America! I will be in Chicago and Detroit and Bri I'm beyond Elated for this yo happen. It's like a dream come true for me! I love you guys..being Queen since I was a kid ans saw u live in Milwaukee in the 70s. I also LOVE Adam so much it hurts. I've seen him live 4 times and can say there is NO ONE on this planet more talented then him.. You guys are a DREAM TEAM LIKE NO OTHER! Thanks for all your hard work getting this off the ground..and now I get to be a part of this EPIC EVENT. LUV YOU..XX
Thank you so much for giving us a tiny glimpse in your exciting world. I'm dying to witness the greatness that is Queen+Adam ♥♥♥♥
Wonderful notes. I can't wait for Monday night. It is the icing before the cake: Live in Burbank, then live at the Inglewood Forum on July 3rd!!!!
Loving your posts. So joyful and detailed. You have to be the luckiest one of the lot!. Can't believe I've finally going to be seeing Queen & Adam perform. Three times!! It's a dream come true. Madison Square Garden will be epic. MD/DC, the only outdoors show, will be amazing. Atlantic City will be my hubby's first live Adam experience. He's a huge Queen fan. Fifth row! Wish me luck!
Thank you SOOOO much for letting us in on just a little **window** of what it's like to be directly involved in this Tour!!! Very excited to see the real thing LIVE in Vancouver and Las Vegas! Saw Dr. Bri and Roger and Adam et al in Las Vegas for iHeartRadio Music Festival last Sept. and am ETERNALLY grateful for these opportunities to see a FULL show, with all of the stagecraft that will be going along with it!!! Woo Hoo! And I'll be tuning in tomorrow (June 16th) to see/hear a bit of what we can expect in the months to come! And it's honestly an even bigger treat since I've been a fan of Queen for years, and Adam Lambert for the past 5.. Dare I say, a match made in Heaven!!! @glitzylady MaryMaryQuite
Loving your posts! Please continue!! We fans are ready for the wild ride!
Kim we are only going to San Jose. Have fun with the Vegas Glamberts. Wish I could be there to party with Rose, Ron and the gang :)
Hi Nick!
enjoying your blog! As an expat from the North of England, living in Vegas, I feel a kinship :) I grew up with Queen and having my fave singer on the planet performing with them is beyond words. See you guys in Vegas next month!!!
Just a reminder
YahooScreen will be doing a live stream of the Burbank show! Watch here! https://t.co/vIGcS6ta7y

Israeli leaders are denouncing what appears to be a Jewish attack on a West Bank mosque.
Vandals torched the mosque Friday, burning books and prayer rugs. The incident could further raise already high tensions in the area.
Rabbi Alludes to Holocaust
On a rare visit to the northern West Bank, Israeli Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger visited the mosque and condemned the attack, which many believe was carried out by Jewish settlers.
"Seventy-one years ago, the Nazis burned hundreds of synagogues and it was the opening of the Holocaust, and we are until today with the same feeling about the trauma that the Jewish nation has," Metzger said.
"Therefore, I came to say to our neighbors, the Muslims, that we are against burning any, any holy place that people are praying inside," he said.
Anger over the government's decision to freeze all building in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) for 10 months is speculated to be the motive for Friday's attack.
The mosque burning was just one incident that has stoked tension in recent days.
Palestinian Leaders: No Peace Talks
Meanwhile, some Palestinian leaders have encouraged violence to support President Mahmoud Abbas's decision to reject peace talks with Israel.
In the past week, security forces have caught several Palestinians trying to smuggle knives or explosives through checkpoints. Before the rabbi's visit, Arab youths threw stones at Israeli soldiers.
Palestinian leaders want Israeli security to crack down on settlers, increasing the urgency for the Netanyahu government to solve the mosque burning case.
Interior Minister Eli Yishai of the ultra-orthodox Shas party also condemned the attack.
"This has never happened," he said. "The Jewish people never acted this way, and we must do everything to find the perpetrators."

Despite an absolutely terrible year for the DBs in 2009, quite a few have returned. Luckily, Marcus Trufant is looking very good, Lawyer Milloy was our best safety (and eventually even got to play!), and Roy Lewis has been very good. Much more importantly though, the Hawks drafted Earl Thomas, Walter Thurmond, and Kam Chancellor, all of whom looked good in the preseason. All in all, an improved group, but there are questions about our Right CB and it remains to be seen if Milloy can play through the whole year at his age and, more importantly, speed.
Make no mistake, this was a big weakness for the Hawks last year, but they were given absolutely no help by the coaching staff / schemes or the defensive ends. Still, I've made it clear that I love Mebane, but Cole remains a question mark and I know nothing about Siavii. Terrill had to go, but the Vickerson cut will have us scratching our heads for awhile. I dont think they got more talented, but I do think the scheme will match their skills much better.

AARP: Erie among best, most affordable cities
Looking for a pleasant and affordable place to spend your twilight years?
You won't be able to find many places better than Erie, according to a new list of top cities to live on a budget compiled by AARP the Magazine for its October issue.
That list ranked Erie as one of the 10 best places for a person 50 years or older to live on just $30,000 a year.
AARP highlighted Erie's different entertainment options, including the Erie Philharmonic and multiple minor league sports teams, and its natural beauty. The list referred to Presque Isle State Park as Erie's "real treasure."

HTC Sensation ReviewHTC Sensation 4G 9
HTC Sense 3.0 isn't anything revolutionary, instead offering multiple improvements, not least of all in the form of an entirely redrawn UI and an intelligent lock screen. We have to hand it to HTC: it's only been a few months since its last UI update, and already we're seeing another. This approach of incrementally updating coupled with HTC's recent announcement that it will unlock its bootloaders in response to pressure from users has left their brand image looking pretty fantastic right about now.
The redrawn UI sits on top of Gingerbread and carries the premium feel from the construction across to the interface. From a design perspective, HTC Sense 3.0 is so considered, elegant and cohesive, that it's on another level to any custom UI we've seen. Each widget now has a silky smooth 3D transition when swiping the homescreen, so the layers of the widget subtly separate. Widgets are pin sharp and there are some really attractive new ones, such as the photo grid (gallery) widget, a huge improvement over the static photo-frame. If you're liking the idea of renting movies on the fly, the Watch widget, gives you quick access to HTC's movie rental service. The 7 homescreens are also now on a revolving carousel system, so the last leads straight back to the first, and all with some rather slick SPB like carousel visuals in the process.
The lock screen is also a definite improvement, with a ring in the bottom of the screen and four application icons just above. Drag a shortcut down into the ring and you will unlock your phone straight in that application, or just drag the ring up to unlock where you left off. There are also personalizations you can apply to your lock screen, the most obvious being selecting your shortcut applications, or going further and selecting your lock screen background. Your options are:
- standard wallpaper
- photo album
- friend stream (in which you can drag an update into the ring to open that up)
- weather
- stocks
- clock
Suffice to say, similar lock screens can be installed by 3rd party means, but that's the beauty of HTC Sense, as it matures it aggregates a number of awesome features into one complete experience, fresh out of the box.
Aspects that were overhauled in HTC Sense 2.1 haven't seen any real changes, but suffice to say, operate smoothly with a staggered app drawer and quick settings and recent application shortcuts in the pull-down notifications tab.
The overall impression is one of seamless fluidity. Thanks to the 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon chipset, there isn't slowdown or lag, and while loading times are occasionally found when widgets need to refresh, even these are minimal. The interface of the HTC Sensation therefore offers more than just Android, expanding functionality and ease of use out of the box thanks to Sense 3.0.
Of course, HTC's Sense 3.0 UI on top of Android delivers a fantastic messaging experience as well. When we couple the outstanding HTC QWERTY keyboard with the Sensation's giant 4.3" screen, it indeed makes for a compelling texting solution, when in landscape mode, that is. Email is as easy to set as it is on every other high-end Android smartphone out there - just input your username and password for the popular services, while custom accounts will require you to enter additional details. The Gmail app is of course very good, offering loads of options for its users.

so it means it's better than galaxy s2 for the normal consumers and the masses...!!
2. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
I don't think so. I think the review just means the Galaxy S2 and Sensation are dead even- the screen is better for viewing and at angles and benchmarks a little better on the S2, the build more solid and the UI more polished for the HTC. Cannot go wrong with either handset. Very happy for T-Mobile consumers. Hoping AT&T and Verizon grab a similar handset for them. (Sprint, you already have the EVO 3D. No fair grabing another one.)

If anything, I got from the review that the Samsung galaxy S2 has a slightly faster processor (according to benchmark scores) and better display and viewing angles and its bootloader is unlocked for installing custom ROMS. Not sure how you came to that conclusion.. ?
Seems like hardware & specs-wise Samsung galaxy S2 is more powerful, but the Sense 3.0 User Interface is more complete than Touchwiz.
42. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
real world performance is negligable. though if your a benchmark guy, the SGS2 cant be beat right now.
the SGS2 wins in
performance tests
camera software.
since thats just about every major category. lol. the sensation is by no means a slouch though nor a bad phone in any category, the SGS2 is just that far ahead in tech. The old dual core snapdragon is a generation behind the dual core exynos in archetecture design which is why its so poor on battery and not as powerful.
And PA, Why the hell do you keep trying to throw an iphone into every article? If android is not for a reader, they probably wouldnt be reading this article anyways. Seriously..
48. LionStone (Posts: 743; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
I agree, so lame...this being a review for the hTc Sensation..."but if you don't want this great phone, how 'bout an ip?!"
51. TyDeL (unregistered)
Haha, the Iphone remark at the end of every review always makes me laugh.
"btw, after you just read through an exhaustive, 5 page, in-depth review of this Android phone, there's always the Iphone!"
Really, if you want an Iphone, you're not going to be bothered reading about Android phones, you're not even going to be reading reviews, you're going to blindly take the one option that Apple feeds you.
72. ladyhaly (Posts: 106; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
If you look into another article with a blind test done by PhoneArena in order to pit the devices' picture quality output against each other, you would know that you are wrong and that the Samsung Galaxy S II has the worst camera among all the high-end phones as of today as I'm typing this.
And no, that's not every category. You forgot the User Interface. If I was after a benchmarks and speed, I'd go for the Galaxy S II but I'm actually after an intuitive device that would bend towards my will and do the things I want to do. Out of the box, that is.
Unfortunately, Samsung isn't it. And oh, I also hate how Samsung uses plastic and how it makes the device light. Some people may like light devices--- I prefer devices with a more solid feel to them. Something that would feel premium in my hand. Something that won't go off and slip from my fingers because it's so light like a feather.
Basically, it all comes down to personal preference.

4. seeds (Posts: 48; Member since: 13 Apr 2011)
what about bootloader ?
locked or not ?
up there just said unlocled for sammy
41. Evolution (unregistered)
The bootloader is locked on this device.
52. TyDeL (unregistered)
Now that HTC is changing their stance on bootloaders, does anyone know if they plan to unlock future sales of the Sensation anytime soon? Or is this phone just doomed to have a locked bootloader forever?
71. Calvin (unregistered)
im sure this has been answered by now. But yes in fact i think most of the ones coming out of the box now should be unlocked and the other ones should be unlocked through an update.

This was a great review until it mentioned the iPhone 4 at the end. Seriously PA wtf!?! I swear they get paid by Apple everytime they mention it in a phone review. It is just so random and irrelevent how they manage to throw it in at the end of every Android phone review. To PA: no one who is reading this review of the Sensation gives a flying fuck about iPhone 4!
6. xenover (Posts: 174; Member since: 27 May 2011)
iPhone 4 is nothing in comparison to any dual-core device.
I think your right that phonearena gets paid everytime they say "iPhone 4"
20. iwebdroidberry7 (Posts: 230; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
So what do people buy if the don't want an Android phone? You understand that everyone does not want an Android device right?
21. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
If they're not interested in an Android device then why the hell are they reading the review for one? Everyone who doesn't live under a rock knows what the iPhone 4 is. There's no point in mentioning it in an Android review. Did they list alternatives(Android, WM7, etc.) in the iPhone review?
23. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
All they mention in the i4 review is screen size differences.
26. iwebdroidberry7 (Posts: 230; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
Yeah they do mention android in iPhone reviews. Go read the 1st paragraph of the Verizon iPhone review.
"If they're not interested in an Android device then why the hell are they reading the review for one?"
Thats what reviews are for. To show consumers the products so they don't have to go out and buy something they don't want. If someone reads the review and decides they don't like android then its helpful to list alternatives. And they did mention other Android phones as alternatives
34. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
You speak truth. Let's see how many thumbs up you get.
43. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
I read the one for AT&T and I edited my statement. You said:
So what do people buy if the don't want an Android phone?
If you don't want an Android phone why bother reading the review for one? I never wanted and Iphone, which is why I didn't know every detail of the review. Should have checked before I posted though.
38. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
its windows PHONE 7... and why do u people get so upset they mentioned the iphone? did it hurt u in some way?
44. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
Don't think anyone's THAT upset. It's just annoying sometimes how everyone is so smitten with Apple products and just overlook their shortcomings. I rarely hear mention of the lack of SD slot in Apple devices. Some of these review #s seem biased. How does the Sensation only get a 9, really?
7. john (unregistered)
apple brainwashed him to like apple product till dead, wake up pa
8. jeck77 (Posts: 25; Member since: 09 Dec 2010)
Seriously, grow up people. This is a phone blog, and he's giving comparisons. He mentions the iPhone 4, but doesn't say anything about it to attempt to sway anyone towards that direction. All of you are so quick to jump on the, "He's an Apple fanboy!" bandwagon, that none of you stop and attempt to use your brains. Trying to look cool on the internet doesn't make you cool in real life, it just makes you that much more pathetic.
11. AndroidTroll (Posts: 359; Member since: 05 Mar 2011)
I have used my brain and it concluded that the iPhone 4 should not be mentioned in this review because it is a single core, small screen, non 4G, non Android, last year's tech POS device that is completely out of its realm when compared to the Sensation!!
19. iwebdroidberry7 (Posts: 230; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
How DARE you speak with any logic at all on PhoneArena?!!!
22. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
That's a load of S%^T!!! There are no comparisons in the iPhone 4 review.
24. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
The i4 review does compare screen sizes. And jeck77, chill out dude. Like you said it's a phone blog. Insults aren't necessary.
33. jeck77 (Posts: 25; Member since: 09 Dec 2010)
Everyone has opinions, and are entitled to them. My thing is that people want so bad to look cool on the internet, that they will jump all over someone who even mentions anything in regards to the iPhone. I've owned every smartphone platform out there (other than Win7) and I've owned countless Android phones, and a currently have an iPhone 4 on Verizon. Android has many advantages and disadvantages, as does the iPhone. Guess that means I'm being paid by Apple since I just made a comparison too.
35. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
Much agreed. The slightest mention of the iPhone means you're a mindless Apple sheep. Seriously?
45. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
For me, it's more the scores that the Apple products keep getting and their shortcomings get overlooked. I rarely hear mention of the lack of SD slot on Apple products. How is the Sensation only a 9?
47. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
No one said they're Apple fanboys. He's said they're getting paid to mention iPhone in EVERY SINGLE REVIEW(only slight exagerration.)
53. TyDeL (unregistered)
I wasn't appalled that he mentioned an Apple device at the end of the review, but it did seem completely irrelevant. Just like when you're watching a movie and some really bad acting or effect pulls you out of the story, there's absolutely no reason to mention the Iphone at the end of this review.
I was excited when I realized he was making a comparison between the SGS2 at the end because these are two of the newest phones, which target the same market with nearly identical specs. That's a logical comparison to make between two, next-generation phones. To randomly bring up the Iphone4 after that, which is now horribly out dated and has been available for what feels like an eternity in the tech world is just completely unnecessary.
61. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
Couldn't have said it better myself.
9. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
So let me get this straight, its a little bulky, the screen angles could be better, and the battery life could be better? It only gets a 9 where the motorola atrix gets a 9.5.
Sorry to complain but this phone is way better than the iphone and atrix put together.
30. KingK (unregistered)
Not really. Notice no benchmarks are posted.........
Nothing special about the Sensation.
10. EA (unregistered)
i dont mind the 3d on the evo but it would have been better if it had a better camera. htc and sprint should have made a phone with a better camera,maybe 12meg instead of the 3d...tmobile and htc did a good job with the sensation by keeping the camera more relavent. unlike the evo3d which sacraficed a better photograph for a fun toy that wont be used often
16. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
i don't care about 3d and phones with 3d like evo and LG have poor viewing angles and for now i've never seen anybody talking about how exciting is 3d
28. AndroidTroll (Posts: 359; Member since: 05 Mar 2011)
Here is a philosophical question for you: What good is a newborn baby?
My point is that glasses free 3D on a phone is such new tech that people may not be able to see and understand the value of it until it has had a chance to develop. If you give it some time it might end up being a necessity for those who grow accustomed to it.
12. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
The screen is way better than the thunderbolts, way better battery life, way better construction, thinner, has a dual core processor, runs the latest version of sense and has gingerbread, can shoot full 1080 hd videos, but yet it gets the same score.
This is why people complain about the review scores, they never make sense.
17. sweetlou (unregistered)
if you read the whole review, it is much more positive than the thunderbolt's. If you've read both, its obvious that the Sensation is far ahead spec wise, so the scores shouldnt even matter. I know i never look at them.
18. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
The scores shouldnt matter? So they should give it nothing but compliments and only minor complaints but give it the same score as a phone that had a lot of issues? People look at overall scores and take that into consideration.
54. TyDeL (unregistered)
The problem with applying scores/rating to technical products is that the technology is always changing. Thunderbolt is a fairly new phone but even still it was released when there weren't really any dual core processor phones out. It may of been a "9" when it was reviewed several months ago, but it would be more of an "8" if it came out today. And that's really the only way you could make scores relevant, if you retro-actively went back and constantly updated ratings with the current technology.
You have to keep in mind the date of the review when you look at ratings.
13. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
one of the best devices ... haha and at the end!! just can't miss to mention iphone
27. iwebdroidberry7 (Posts: 230; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
Neither can you apparently.
36. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
Good point. Android fans can mention iPhone in almost every comment trying to defame it, but at the moment someone says anything positive about Apple anything, their automatically referred to as a sheep and a troll.
39. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
I agree with you Darko90. It doesn't upset me to see the ip4 mentioned in an Android review because at this point I expect from PA. I think when you are writing a review you should have a target audience in mind, and mentioning the ip4 on a review that will draw a huge amount of Android fans is kinda like going to Madison Square Garden, grabbing the announcer's mic and screaming "Miami rules"! You gotta expect a few people to say "WTF"! And seriously, at this point EVERYONE knows what an iPhone is. No one needs to be told...well there is also the iPhone! This mention of the ip4 was a shameless plug and you know it, iwebdroidberry7 (I like the name BTW, but you forgot about Symbian) If anyone is reading this article, it's more than likely they are looking for an alternative to iOS, not the other way around.
14. cellphoneuser (unregistered)
Sick and tired of all the best devices coming out on not the best of networks. I'm on Verizon, I'm due for an upgrade, and they keep coming out with crap. Sick of it.
15. sweetlou (unregistered)
great phone, would pick it up tomorrow if it were offered on a better carrier. Why good android phones cant be offered across different carriers bewilders me. Loving the "truly unlimited" plan at tmobile, aka throttled back lol.
25. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
The HTC Holiday may be the Sensation upcoming on AT&T, only with a 4.5" screen as opposed to a 4.3". Verizon not having a dual core HTC product does seem strange. They are going all in on the Bionic, I guess.
29. Su-Rio (Posts: 51; Member since: 05 May 2011)
not everyone can afford to get an iphone, even less for the coverage of an iphone... i.e. no warranty, expensive hardware to replace, expensive plans, easy to break, and antenna issues that they decline to mention
37. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
I'm pretty sure this phone will either equal or costs more than iPhone.
59. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
lol you can get an iphone for 50 dollars.
Most high end android phones are 200-300 dollars, which is the same if it not more expensive than the iphone.
People need to realize owning an iphone now does not mean you are rich, it means you own a phone.
31. juiss (unregistered)
so basically this review said nothing, no benchmarks, no numbers, not even a full specification of the phone... all talk.. I hope it gets updated soon, but right now this is not a "review", more like a preview
32. hhaa (unregistered)
I really wanted to get this as i had the original Desire and absolutely love HTC Sense, but decided to go with the Galaxy S2 mainly due to the fact that the S2 has 16GB of internal memory and the Sensation? A mere 1GB, yet I don't even thinks this accounts for the inclusion of the OS.
Come on HTC! Give us more memory.......!
49. alien45 (Posts: 3; Member since: 02 Jun 2011)
I'm a iphone 3gs 16gb user(not a fanboy though). I never own a htc but really like the beauty of sense and freedom of android. I was very excited about the sensation but after watching some review about the performance review and mainly the battery life and internal memory I went for sgs2(probably going to get it tomorrow!). htc's upcoming & rumoured phones r no different in this case. They just want customers to rely solely on memory cards and recharging the battery twice a day, and that really sucks!
58. hhaa (unregistered)
I'm with you on that one, perhaps it was still early back then but when I picked up my Desire it was stunning yet no reviewer really picked up on the memory issue; even now they hardly seem to mention it.
My Desire came with 512MB of ROM, yet after the Android OS is accounted for I'm only left with 136MB!
With apps coming in at 10MB+ each, I managed to fill my Desire up in the first week of getting it!
A majority of apps will by default install to ROM, some may use external memory such as games. Certains apps might not function correctly either if installed to SD card.
For a high end phone you shouldn't really expect much when it comes to battery life and for me as long as it lasts through the working day I'm fine and thankfully both the Desire and S2 seems to do just fine.
Still, I'm quite envious of my girlfriend's iPhone 4 as it lasts well into 2 days from full even though she's constantly playing 'Plants vs Zombies'!

I really don't know how this works, let's say I buy one unlocked on ebay for example, will it work on canadian networks ? I don't want to buy one for nothing if it is not going to work, i know they are different but all these frequencies get me lost...
50. alien45 (Posts: 3; Member since: 02 Jun 2011)
I think u mixed up bootloader lock with carrier lock. This phone's bootloader locked means u can't install custom firmwares/roms on this phone and that doesn't have anything to do with the carrier unlock. So if u buy a carrier unlock phone from anywhere its surely gonna work.

Apple iPhone 5c production cut in half?
0. phoneArena 11 Oct 2013, 13:48 posted on
Seems like we've seen this show before; last January, week demand for the then flagship Apple iPhone 5 reportedly led Apple to slice production of the device in half. On Friday, a published report out of China said that the Cupertino based tech titan is cutting its daily producvtion of the Apple iPhone 5c by 50% due to "disappointing sales"...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
35. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
You don't work for Apple, so unless you had access to highly confidential numbers, it's hard to believe you knew what Apple's expectations are in the first place.
What we do know is that the wall street analysts blew their call on the 5C.
41. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
If Apple didn't expect to sell all those iPhone 5c's, they wouldn't have wasted the money producing them. Want to see the photo I took of my full drawer of 5c's, which consists entirely of the initial shipment?
45. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Don't show it to him, because he'll just say it's fake.
iPhone 5C isn't selling. It's just another phone sitting in stores while the 5S is running out of stock.
47. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
Which means they won't be purchasing replacement stock. That's really where Apple is going to be hit, when holiday shopping orders aren't as big because of release stock still sitting on the shelves.
55. Mr.Verizon (Posts: 23; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
That's where people are mistaken. Each carrier has a contact with apple. It's well known that in order to carry the iPhone you must agree to purchase a set amount of iPhones within a certain timeframe. How do i know this? At certain points over the past few years were told to focus solely on selling iPhones. Even though they are one of the lowest gross profit phones to sell. And I'm not talking right before a new iPhone launches but random times. This is the reason that quite a few European carriers won't carry the iPhone because of that contractual demand.
61. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
So what happens if they don't sell the specified amount?
72. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Sniggly, you are responding the same way when I stated ZTE and Huawei will do well in a couple of years. You were in disbelief since the only ZTE or Huawei handsets you've seen were complete crap. Your mistake was your failure to look into the future.
You are making the same mistake now. Here's my advice, use your Droid Mini and look up the story of how the statisticians got the Dewey-Truman contest wrong. The statisticians had forecasted Dewey to be the winner. They got it wrong due to sampling error. You are making the same sampling error with the 5C as with the ZTE and Huawei.
58. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Just kidding, I'm going to show you anyway.
Here's all the 5c's from our one initial shipment a month ago, minus one or two full (10 count) boxes in a back cabinet.
otos?pid=5933632403976424370&o id=107754956401440611752
Here is said cabinet after our shipment tonight. Now there's about six full boxes sitting there.
otos?pid=5933698689923434322&o id=107754956401440611752
Plus here's what that drawer looks like now.
otos?pid=5933698749141987122&o id=107754956401440611752
That's not to say we haven't sold any, but sales have just not come close to how many we have been sent by Apple.
Granted, a lot of those loose phones ARE the 32 gigabyte model, which I've seen even less interest in.
Come on, ardent, it's not so hard to admit you're wrong. If I can admit when I'm wrong, then you can too.
Believe it or not, it actually strengthens your credibility when you acknowledge evidence that you took the wrong position in an argument. I mean, hell, we all know you're a smart guy. You don't have to keep trying to prove that to us by trying to win unwinnable arguments.
73. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
You are one data point. A data point doesn't tell the whole story.
Here's a homework assignment for you -- all you have to do is look up old press releases from ATT, Verizon, and Sprint when they sold the iPhone. You will see a pattern, at launch, people tend to buy the newest and best model which in this case is the 5S. People will buy the older model as the months continues meaning sales of the older models should rival the best model. You know this to be true since the 4 and 4S did really well before the launch of the 5S.
Right now, with the 5C, it has to compete with existing stocks of the 5. Once the 5 inventory gets depleted where only the 5C, then look at your drawer. That is to say if the 5 wasn't available, the 5C would do better.
In business, this phenomenon is called overhang, and the correct way is to "normalize" the data as opposed to using the actual data. In statistics, the actual data contains too much noise. With the 5S with 64-bit processor, the overhang of the 5, there is too much noise in the 5C data to make any sound prediction.
Remember, not selling well now doesn't equate to not selling well in the future. The ZTE and Huawei devices are pretty damn good today versus 2 years ago.

81. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
I just recheck Apple's new release and you are full of crap.
Apple sold 9 million units of 5S and 5C over launch weekend. The estimates (by wall street firms) is about 25% of the sales are 5C. That would be over 2 million units. Apple would NOT release actual sales of 5C for competitve reasons.
We can debate whether or not over 2 million units over 3 days is massive sales.
The point is just because you failed to sell 5C's in your store, doesn't mean 5C's aren't being sold.
To be clear, my position has always been since Apple never told us (about 5C sales targets), we have no reasonable basis to discern whether actual 5C sales are hitting their bogey, the "iPhone 5 Overhang" notwithstanding. I have nothing to apologize for.
84. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Well, this is fun. I never got notifications for these responses.
For your information, though, there was virtually no overhang. Apple and Best Buy sought to eliminate it by giving really awesome trade in deals for the 5 prior to the 5s/5c launch. By the time the launch happened, we had barely a handful left. Now we have maybe two or three 5's in stock, some of them open items. People aren't coming in for either phone, and if the 5c were selling really well at other locations we'd get overflow from them looking to purchase it, like we do for the 5s, since we have 3 or 4 locations within fifteen minutes of our store, not counting standalone mall locations.
Apple missed badly with its internal sales estimates. There's no way to claim they didn't unless you're also prepared to declare that Apple deliberately manufactured way more 5c's than they intended to sell.
I agree that it's a small sample size, but it simply doesn't look good from this angle. You could be right; sales could magically pick up during the holidays when kids whine for the iPhone and parents get the 5c because there's no way they'll pay an extra hundo for the 5s.
16. Landmarkcm (Posts: 505; Member since: 11 Aug 2009)
Well to each there own right. Im a pretty new "isheep" lol as they say. I had briefly tried the 4s was on Sprint @ the time with that so im sure that didn't help the experience. But anyway Im happy with my blue 5C overall. I got a great deal on it. Best buy matched Targets price of 79.99 plus tax of course. Anyway one of the things that drew me to it was the Plastic and the colors which I actually prefer! I cant be the only one. It's not cheap plastic like some phones either. Also I know there's not much different over the 5 but the front camera is upgraded and ive read some say its a bit zippier still etc. Anyway like I said I dig the plastic & color options & think apple did good with it. That's why we have choice right.

You are the perfect apple candidate. Get the 5c but convince yourself it is "zippier". Convince yourself the plastic feels better...Apple plastic? Convince yourself the blue looks good and not like your phone is wearing crocs.

Lol! I don't have to convince myself of anything. I like the plastic look and colors better. Thats it. Its good that apple changed it up a bit with more options too. Now if they just make the screen abt 4.3 that would be the sweet spot for me.

Ya its prob pot "zippier" either and one thing ya did get right also crocs are ugly! lol :)

Hint: iPhone 5 and the 5C have the exact same processor, so one is not "zippier" than the other.

True true

The 5C will be free with a new contract by December...its already down to $45. Prices don't normally get cut in half a month after they are released. So much for it being a margin builder.

If Walmart or Best Buys or Target wants to lose money on the phone -- that's their call.
The Retailer mark-up on the iPhones is about 10%. There's not a lot of room for discounting because Apple set it up that way.

Walmart is already selling cheaper than what Apple wants them to. Apple is losing grip on whatever pricing control it did have earleir or maybe Walmart twisted Apple's arms to get a better pricing ...

rusticguy, did you read the last paragraph?
"Honestly, it's just our business model," added McKinney. "We leverage our expenses so we can invest in price." That seems to suggest Wal-Mart simply ignored Apple's pricing preferences."
It's what I wrote earlier -- Walmart is willing to accept a loss or lower margins. It helps if you read and understood what the author is trying to communicate.

Busy start to the weekend
Its kinda weird to be on the road again after a 9-game homestand and really 13 days in our own beds cause of the commuters to Burlington. Still in the state of Illinois though and it always seems to rain in Kane County. But I walked over to Portillo's (look it up, its freaking awesome) for some Beef/Sausage Combo and there is NO better way to start the weekend. Everyone at the hotel, in Portillos and in the Walgreen's i popped into is talking about 2 things. How did the weather go from 88 yesterday to 60s and tornado warnings today. And can the Bulls beat the Heat in Game 1 at the United Center on Sunday. My answers: Its Illinois. And of course.
So we started the day by activating Graham Hicks from the DL and he will start tonight. Hicks, much like Dallas Beeler last night, will throw 40ish pitches and then be followed by Su-Min Jung. To make room on the roster, Matt Szczur was placed on the temporarily inactive list as he flew out this morning to Philadelphia to attend Villanova University's Graduation ceremonies this weekend. He will miss the series leaving us with 14 pitchers and 11 position players for these three games. With one of the two backups a catcher, it virtually guarantees that Casey Kopitzke will keep the pinch running and pinch hitting to a minimum and hope for no injuries or sickness.
We were about an hour out of Peoria when my boss and our team President Rocky Vonachen (who is on the road to Kentucky for his middle daughter Abby's college graduation) called to tell me that Randy Wells will make a rehab start for us on Tuesday night against Quad Cities! The game starts at 6:30 and more information is Here. Although Randy has not pitched for us, he did pitch at O'Brien Field with Lansing in 2004 and has been on the last couple of Cubs Caravan's in January. He has always been great to talk to and has a lot of fun interacting with our staff and the fans at those events.
Its always fun to have the MLB guys around on rehab starts even though they are there to get better and head back to Chicago quickly but its nice for the fans and for our players to be around them and see how they do their job and for the fans to watch them up close for MiLB prices and in our atmosphere. Its also fun for the staff and raises the entire atmosphere in the ballpark.
May 13 Lineup
LePage 4
Silva 8
Rohan 3
Jones DH
Gibbs 2
Soto 6

Here are today's game notes: May13GameNotes which include the pitching matchups for the series.
