Teen driver crashes, sends mom to hospitalMay 22,2013By Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
WEST RUTLAND - A Middletown Springs teen sent his mother to the hospital with serious injuries following a crash this morning.
According to State Police, around 7:30 a.m., a 15-year-old was driving north on Route 133 in a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse when his vehicle went off the road and struck a tree.
The teen was driving under the supervision of his mother, Jennifer Sheridan, who sustained a broken back and broken ribs from the crash. She was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center, where she was listed in good condition, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
The teen was not injured. Neither drugs nor alcohol appear to have been factors in the crash, police said.MORE IN This Just InPUTNEY A local women told police someone stole $400 in cash from her car.

Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

A place apart, in peril
Tangier Island, Virginia, is mere inches above the Bay around it. There isn't much dry land. Kids play on the airstrip. The people have a unique accent (which is becoming hard to find). With the land mostly marsh, folks bury their dead in their yards. It's a watery place, but charming. If Irene delivers even a glancing backhand blow, the entire island will be underwater.

Product Description
After the introductory review lessons are complete, students begin a schedule of lessons that include daily writing practice of selected words in the "Scripture of the week." On Day 4 the student writes the complete verse and then on Day 5 they copy it onto a border sheet from the back of the workbook.
Border sheets are outlined with wonderful black-line drawings and graphics that students can color to decorate their handwritten verse. They are wonderful "treats" for grandparents or shut-ins, aunts and uncles or friends to receive in the mail. Your young student will have an opportunity to spread the gospel and send a smile to someone they love.

Ping G25 Driver For Sale
Ping G25 Driver adjustment tool and headcover included
When Ping launched the G20 driver in 2011, it was proven to be one of the most forgiving drivers on the market. The new Ping G25 driver continues that trend. It is the largest-profile, most forgiving driver Ping have made and now features Ping's modern matt black finish.
Along with the new look, the G25 brings adjustability to the 'G' range. Using Ping's lightweight, aerodynamic adjustable-hosel players can optimise their own launch conditions using the Trajectory Tuning Technology. Players can add or subtract half a degree of loft to the four different lofted heads: 8.5, 9.5, 10.5 or 12 degrees.
Ping were cautious entering into the adjustable market, wanting to design a driver and specifically a hosel that wouldn't adversely impact performance or appearance. The hosel design they settled on has the same mass and diameter as past 'fixed' hosels, making the transition to adjustability as seamless as possible.
The Ping G25 driver has a 460cc head with a larger profile design. The ultra-thin-crown and aerodynamic design redistributes weight along the perimeter of the clubhead, moving the CG (centre of gravity) farther back and lower than any previous Ping driver. This new CG position increases the clubs MOI (moment of interia) and makes it extremely forgiving
Ping engineers made structural reinforcements to the crown, sole and skirt in order to offer the G25 a solid feel and sound. Variable thickness behind the face powerfully transfers the energy of a players swing into the ball, producing fast ball speeds leading to greater distances off the tee.
Ping have developed the innovative TFC 189D shaft specifically for the G25 driver. This lightweight, high-balance point shaft has a new non-glare, charcoal finish to help eliminate reflections, improve alignment and inspire confidence at address.

raking it back

RE: raking it back
Hi Simon,
Like alot of what is found on the Guy Cribb site, if you take things out of context (the same can be said for this site as well) you can come up with several different "interpretations".
If we are talking free ride and wave sails, with very high tack to foot angles, then Guy Cribb is right on. If you rake a free ride or wave sail back until the foot angle is parallel to the board, you will be killing alot of the power in the sail and getting the CE (Center of Effort) of the rig way back behind the fin. This will cause the board to head upwind, won't help with early planing, and it for sure will kill the power in the rig.
So, for this type of gear, and freeride sailing/wavesailing what Guy Cribb suggests is essentiallly correct.
If you change the context, to Free race and race sails (which many of us in lighter wind areas use all the time, then what Guy Cribb suggests is very much not the case.
Free Race and Race sails have a much fuller foot with a much lower tack to clew foot angle, and most are made to be brought down parallel to the deck.
If you have the correct components (i.e. mast base/mast base extension with a really low pulley setup ala Chinook's CL250) then you can rig your sail really low, and get the foot of the sail right down on the deck (effectively closing the gap completely) with the sail at it's designed rake angle. Everything balances at this rake angle and it's up to you to adjust your mast base (in the mast base slot) so you apply the mast foot pressure in the right place to get the CE of the rig to align/balance with the CLR of the fin at this rake angle.
Check out any current race photos (especially formula) and you will see that for going upwind the sailors will have the gap closed.
So, it depends on what "sailing discipline" you are talking about, and what "design type" rigs/sails you are talking about whether "closing the gap" gets you maximum performance, or results in a grossly "over raked" rig that kills it's power.
So, I will neither agree, nor disagree with Guy Cribb's assesment, but he tends to make strong "always the case" statements that many sailors misinterpret.
Windsurfing technique is far too dynamic for anyone to apply words like always and never.
So, is "closing the gap" an anachronous myth....?
NO!..... if you apply it to modern free race, slalom, and race gear.
YES!.... well MAYBE...if you apply it to modern free ride(smaller sails espcially) and wave sails.... but then it never really applied to these rigs even in the past as for this type of sailing a deep low foot normally results in the sailor "dragging" the foot or having the foot get slapped by a wave, so the sailmakers "fix" this potential problem by making the foot run at a much higher angle.
Hope this helps,

The other Suns
"We had a couple of guys who had never seen the game before, and they strapped on the boots for round one."
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
When you start an Australian Rules football club in the middle of Queensland you need to "wear a number of hats" according to Chinchilla Suns secretary Helen Gent. After all, not every club secretary takes home the uniforms after a game to wash them. "On Sunday the washing line is beautiful and red!" She laughs.
Helen and her husband were heavily involved in a footy club when they lived in Brisbane, so when they moved to the Darling Downs town of Chinchilla, wanted to share the love of the game with the community.
The passion didn't fade, "even when we got to the stage where three weeks before our first game we had no home ground, we didn't have our jerseys, and we didn't have enough players!" Helen explains. "My husband and I sat in the car and said 'even if there's one person turning up to training, we'll keep going'. And it's paid off."
"There's a lot of people in town that love the sport. And a lot of people who love sport in general who just want to give it a try.
"We had one 17-year-old who came along in his Gold Coast jersey to the first training session and said 'I want to thank you, I've watched this game for years and never been able to play it.'" Helen says.
The decision was made early on for the team to adopt the 'Suns' name.
"It goes hand in hand with who we are in Chinchilla. We need the sun for the harvest. We need it for our crops and cattle. It's a nice warm part of the country."
"We contacted the Gold Coast team early on to make sure we could use a similar playing strip and we got their full approval."
Helen admits to hearing references to "aerial ballet" in the small town, "but I just invite them to a game to watch a game from the sidelines. I'm quite confident when they see the game a lot of those tags fall by the wayside."
Even though they're a brand new team, Helen sees a number of rivalries developing. "I think the local derby with Dalby is always going to be something quite special. They're just down the road, and that's usually where you find your biggest competition."
They Suns lost to the Dalby Swans in round one, but Helen admits to "having a bit of a tear" watching her boys play for the first time. "We had a couple of guys who had never seen the game before, and they strapped on the boots for round one."
"One of our players used to play rugby union, and when he took a mark the first thing he did was tuck the ball under his arm," she laughs, "but that's ok, it's all a learning process and there's a place for everyone in the team and in the club.
Helen says the hopes for the team aren't about a certain number of wins by the end of season, rather incremental improvements. "This team has a big heart. On the scoreboard it doesn't look fantastic, but every quarter these guys have played, they've improved."
While she hoped to see a win on the board by round 11, it came early when the Suns beat the Lockyer Valley Demons by 19 points a fortnight ago.
Helen says while they have a good number of locals keen to strap on the boots, if a certain star player from the Gold Coast Suns ever wanted to visit one Saturday afternoon, they'd manage to find a place for him on the field. "Although we might have to bench him to start with because we have one player on the team who is a mad Ablett fan. He actually plays in #9, so if Gary Ablett turned up Jessie would probably mob Gary on the field! So he might have to start on the bench for his own safety!" She laughs.

Most Anticipated Movies at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival: 'Behind the Candelabra,' 'Only God Forgives,' 'The Bling Ring'
Gosling, Damon, Timberlake, Cotillard, Swinton and more
<< Prev Next >>
Only Lovers Left Alive
Director: Jim Jarmusch
Stars: Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska
Premiere Date: Saturday, May 26
Why: The "almost" closing night film and late addition to the festival reunites Swinton (increasingly the one true heroine of global cinephiles) with Jarmusch after 2009's "The Limits of Control." This time around they team up with indie darling Wasikowska and everyone's favorite Asgard God of Mischief (Hiddleston) for tale of two vampires in love for centuries. We'd like to hope this is Jarmusch's most commercial endeavor yet, but Swinton as a vampire? Bingo.

WASHINGTON -- Score one for the rich, litigious neighbors.
Remember the lawsuit over the 25,424-square-foot mansion called "Le Chateau de Lumiere," being built in the extremely wealthy Northern Virginia locality of Great Falls?
"The owner has decided not to build the house," said Mike Mafi of The Building Group Inc., the company that was designing and building the palace. "However, the plan of the house belongs to me and the architects."
Mafi told The Huffington Post on Wednesday afternoon that he's been contacted by a handful of Virginians who "love the house, and want to have this thing built." Some of these Virginians are even in Great Falls.
"This house will be built," Mafi said. "This time we're going to be careful and build on 10 or 20 acres."

New Diego Rivera Website Launched
Discover the life and career of Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.
This need led to a new website launch which gives art fans an insight into the life and career of Diego Rivera as well as providing a gallery of his most significant paintings.
The artist himself was a famous muralist who took his ethnic style across to the United States where he taught others of the artistic qualities found with in the art scene of his native country.
Few Mexicans have managed to get international fame for their work but he impact of this artist has made it easier for some, with westerns now generally more interested in art from this region.
The growing influence of Mexican culture in the US should also increase the opportunities in the future for Mexicans there. Rivera will always be seen as one of the integral influences on this and his work continues to be exhibited across the United States and beyond. Few painters have managed to come from outside the western world and establish such a reputation and this just underlines his own qualities and also the way in which traditionally the western arts scene was not as ambitious as perhaps it liked to think, only recently taking in other styles to the mainstream in a significant way. Previously, only certain artists and individuals had become interested in artists from outside of Europe and North America.
The one-time wife of Rivera, Frida Kahlo, had herself an exceptional career which is also worthy of note though her impact came more after she had passed away at an early age whilst her husband was able to appreciate and use his fame whilst he was still alive.
There can be no doubt that these two artists demonstrated exceptional innovation which really deceives to be take note of by anyone looking to understand more about artistic influences to have come from outside the regions of the western world and were able to give us whole new ideas.

Hi! My name is Dawn, I run a restaurant on Bon Island in Phuket, Thailand. It's a wonderful little island, so whan I have the time I like to catch it's beauty with my Nokia N82. The weather here can be quite dramatic, anything from a beautiful sunny day to a violent tropical storm. The island is very rocky and rises high above sea-level, which was a major factor in protecting us from the 2004 Tsunami disaster. The photo you see here was taken on the beach at Bon Island just three days after Tsunami hit Phuket, the beach was beautifully clean and the sea the clearest we had ever seen, sadly the coral reef got very badly damaged and now, three years later we are starting to see it's recovery along with the return of many little fish. I feel very safe here on the Island and wouldn't choose to be anywhere else! Create your own visitor map!

Feb 19, 2013Lahav Receives Grant for Research on Premature Infant Environments
Amir Lahav, ScD, PhD, the principal investigator of the Lahav Lab for Neonatal Research in the Department of Newborn Medicine, received a $437,000 grant from the Charles H. Hood Foundation to conduct research on the effects of biological maternal sounds on cardiorespiratory stability and early brain maturation in extremely preterm babies admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. For the three-year grant, Lahav and his team will examine whether and what types of maternal sound stimulation (such as a mother's voice and heartbeat) facilitate optimal growth and neurodevelopment in the early postnatal period.
The Charles H. Hood Foundation was incorporated in 1942 to improve the health and quality of life for children through grant support of New England-based pediatric researchers. To date, the foundation has made 638 awards to New England Investigators, many of whom are now leaders in child health research.

LUBBOCK - The play was 98X-Sluggo. And thanks to some improvisation from Texas Tech quarterback Kliff Kingsbury, the third-quarter play slugged Oklahoma State right in the stomach.
Kingsbury threw four touchdown passes on a windy, gritty and nasty Saturday afternoon, but none bigger than his third that propelled Tech to a 49-24 win before a season-high crowd of 44,545 at Jones SBC Stadium.
"Every once in a while, you have a play where everything goes right for you," Kingsbury said, "and this was one of them."
The Cowboys, who trailed 28-7 in the second quarter, fought back to 28-21 on Tatum Bell's 67-yard run on the third play of the second half. Bell, who rushed for 165 yards, appeared trapped behind the line of scrimmage before breaking away and shooting through the secondary.
Tech then moved to the OSU 19, but a 9-yard sack of Kingsbury and an incomplete pass seem to stall the drive at the 28. Kingsbury dropped to pass, but was flushed out of the pocket and began giving ground to near midfield.
He turned upfield, and just before he went out of bounds with Cowboys in hot pursuit at the OSU 41, he flung the ball toward the end zone. The pass sailed over the head of 5-foot-8 Nehemiah Glover -- and into the chest of Y receiver Mickey Peters.
The unlikely 28-yard touchdown pass pushed Tech's lead to 35-21. The air went out of the Cowboys with as much force as the 47 mph westerly gusts that turned Jones Stadium into a brownish wind tunnel.
"It was huge because they got all the momentum," Tech coach Mike Leach said. "Kliff was on the verge of getting sacked, and was able to turn it into a touchdown.
"All these guys have lists of pretty good quarterbacks. Maybe if they saw that play, he'd be on that list too. It was a tremendous play by a great quarterback."
Tech 49, OSU 24
Records: Texas Tech improved to 7-4 overall, and 4-2 in the Big 12 Conference. Oklahoma State dropped to 4-5 and 2-3.
Key Stat: After OSU closed to within 28-21, Tech scored three touchdowns in a span of 11 minutes, 28 seconds to lead 49-21.
Impact: With their seventh win, the Red Raiders became bowl-eligible for the 10th consecutive season.
Peters, who had six catches, was to run the safety off and out of the play. He said he saw Kingsbury scramble, and when he did, he came toward him as did OSU safety Kirk Milligan.
"Then I went back to the end zone, and I think he got mixed up in the shuffle," Peters said. "I waved my hand and Kliff saw me. I almost slipped and fell. That would have been real nice."
Kingsbury was 38-of-49 for 425 yards and four touchdowns before departing with eight minutes left. His last TD, a 12-yarder to Wes Welker with 1:16 left in the third quarter, gave Tech a 42-21 lead.
A short time later, freshman safety Vincent Meeks, making his first start, took a tipped Josh Fields pass 14 yards for a touchdown and a 49-21 lead with 12:37 remaining.
"In particular, we did a good job in key situations, but we could have been more consistent," Leach said. "We played good at key times. It was one of those deals where you had to answer the charge of your opponent. The one who could do it the longest would win."
Despite the gale crossing winds, there was 988 combined yards. Tech, which has averaged 479 yards and 50.6 points at home, had 556 and 30 first downs.
Resurgent OSU, coming off wins over Nebraska and Texas A&M, had 432. But OSU simply couldn't keep answering Tech's attack.
"We learned a long time ago from our mommas and daddies never to let anybody come into your house and steal something," said Carlos Francis, who scored two touchdowns. "If you come to Lubbock, you got to put 60 points on us to beat us."
Not much came cheap for Tech, which officially became bowl-eligible for the 10th season in a row. The Raiders went 80, 79, 60, 80 and 91 yards for five of their six offensive touchdowns.
The Cowboys used special teams to set up two scores. Tech punter Clinton Greathouse couldn't handle a snap that set up OSU at the Tech 16 for its first score. And Chris Massey raced 28 yards off a fake punt to the Tech 19 to set up Bell's 4-yard run to pull OSU to within 28-14 at halftime.
"This team just doesn't know how to go on the road and play," OSU coach Les Miles said. "I didn't come here today to have this happen to us. I expected that it would be a dogfight."
It was until 98X-Sluggo.

Verizon working on HTC DROID Eris weather widget issue, still investigating other problems
I got word back from a Verizon Wireless rep moments ago regarding all of the complaints we are seeing in comments about the recent HTC DROID Eris Android 2.1 over the air firmware update. We were told that the tech gurus are already working on the weather widget issue, but that other less frequently cited problems (such as missing call audio and message notification issues) have not been properly documented yet.
I was advised that people with problems other than the weather widget should call Verizon Wireless or bring their DROID Eris to a Verizon Wireless retail store. Verizon is somewhat skeptical of anonymous internet chatter, but will put a heck of a lot more weight on something that they can experience more directly and link to actual customers.
So, you want to get a fix to your problems? Call Verizon by dialing 611 from your Verizon phone or (800) 922-0204 from any phone and seek tech support. Tell them what the problem is, when it started happening, and how to duplicate it.
- Warren
Will Droid Eris ever get 2.2 Froyo?
- Karla Martins
I have had nothing but trouble with Facebook AP and widget since I updated the software to Eris 2.1.
- James Davis
Since the update to 2.1 from vzw I've had to reset my phone to the factory reset and am still have issues using my blue tooth headset ever since. Calls were going out people were recieving them, but could not hear me, and i could not here them. Had to finally turn off the blue tooth setting in my droid Eris… What is VZW going to do about this.
- AMendez
My phone received the 2.1 upgrade. Since then my phone has powered off, deleted all my text messages, very frustrating since I refer to those to keep convos going. I am frustrated with this phone doing things like that. Any ideas on how to get this corrected?
- sezme
First, I still like my phone. Getting the Google Nav was my target from the beginning and I just couldn't justify the Droid. However, I have to say the update is buggy and I sincerly hope a fix is in the works. Calls freeze in mid conversation, 3 way calls don't work at all. Nav text to speech works sporadically, Oddly, the camera doesn't seem to work as well. I'm sure there's more that I have not discovered yet. Reboot seems to work but having to do that once a day puts my brother's advice to go with iPhone squarely in the "I told you so" corner. Darn, I hate it when he's right.
- dmennenoh
This phone was nice until 2.1 was pushed to it. Now it's a pile of crap. I can't hear people when they call me, sometimes dialing takes 5 – 10 seconds for a number to register – facebook pics are blurry if they show at all – weather doesn't work – camera has loads of problems. All in all the 2.1 turned my phone into a useless paper weight. Nice going Verizon and HTC – way to beta test your software.
- east boston
2.1 upg – now having trouble with voice. People can hear me, I can't hear them. Happens intermittently with send and recieve. Phone appears to lock up sometimes and I can't make a call. Went to Verizon store today. They don't have any diagnostic software. Willing to replace phone with a new one w/ 1.5 OS, then I can upg to 2.1. Doesn't make much sense unless 2.1 is patched.
I was the second one with the same problem according to one techrep, but as I opted to not exhange, my problem was not recorded in the system, so Verizon can safely say "We are not aware of any problems with the 2.1 upgrade.
- Mike
I have had all of the above problems with my phone. SO I decided to call tech support and see what happens.
Long story short they blamed it on the phone not updating correctly and had me pull the battery out of the phone then reprogram it by dialing *228 then selecting option 1.
My phone seems to be working properly now….but it has only been a few minutes since the 'fix'. We shall see….
- Michael
Loved the Eris and still do, but 2.1 is really frustrating. Problems I've encountered include: Phone not ringing/not getting message notifications, not able to hear or be heard during calls, Phone has suddenly shutoff and reset a couple of times. Not to mention the significant slow down of most functions. Android 2.1 is awesome, but I just don't think the Eris was made to run it.
Hi all..I have had nothing but an awesome time with my Erie since the 2.1 OTA upgrade. No issues as others are experiencing. Battery management, speed of web, camera, weather updates, etc. all running excellent. I purchase my Eris in November 2009 so I can say without a doubt that the upgrade was just that…like a new, sweet smartphone! Here is my question… how many of u performed the OTA from a OEM 1.5 Android OS? I am guessing that others on so many blogs with issues may have performed some, well, u know, something that made their update perform so poorly. Think about Verizon & HTC software engineers making the update for a stock 1.5 to 2.1 OS. Please remember I am only just thinking out loud cause again my Eris is like a whole new phone & working wonderfully. So to conclude if Verizon does offer a patch or patches, what about those folks that aren't having any issues whatsoever?
- Nate
I found this on another site and it resolved all of the weather widget problems for me
Go to
Settings/applications/manage applications/weather provider/clear data
Then go to
Settings/accounts and sync/weather/sync now
- Kimberly
I got my Eris on April 15. I was COMPLETELY happy with it. Loved it. Made no changes to it (that's to How-Buds)
Then I did the upgrade. Since then:
1) I drop phone calls at least 5x a day
2) My phone deletes contacts/removes phone numbers from contacts/unlinks contacts and facebook profiles regularly (sometimes they relink, come back, other times not). By regularly I mean several times a week. I will spend an hour getting everything back to normal, the next day it's all gone again.
3) Internet is much, much slower.
4) Calendar Force Quits if I try to view it. It is 100% useless.
5)Spontaneously turns ringer off.
6) Annoying vibration sound when call is happening.
7) (And probably the biggest thing). When I try to make a call, about
a) 1/3 of the time, the call goes through normally.
b)1/3 of the time, the phone acts like nothing is happening and then after 10-15 seconds, the call goes through. Frequently, at that point I am trying to redial, I hit CALL right as it finally dial and I end up ENDING the call accidentally. And the other c)1/3 of the time, it blinks off to a white or HTC screen for 1/2 second and then pretends I didn't do anything. But when it happens, I don't know if it is going to dial eventually like in b. So I have to wait.
8) Twitter App & Pandora only work about 60% of the time.
9) Photo sharing to picasa or twitter only works 10% of the time.
10) Phone turns off and restarts at least 2x a week
11) I rarely have more than 1 bar of service, frequently none. In places where i had 2-4 before.
12) People OFTEN can't hear me.
This has made my phone ridiculously frustrating and hard to use. My sister was going to buy a Droid, but after all of this, she just got a Blackberry Storm today. I AM SO JEALOUS! I hate that I made a decision on my phone, loved it until JUST after my 30 day return period, and now hate it. Hate.
- Mar
I'm having the same problem with my weather Widget and am hoping for a fix soon.
- Jim Z
I bought my Droid Eris in mid February and I loveddd it; only complaint was battery life and i dl advanced task killer free edition and it has helped but the battery is still a weakness on this phone. Ever since i got the automatic s/w update downloaded onto my phone 2.1 my eris has turned to JUNK!!! As many people have posted here the sound for me is the biggest problems are:
1. i have to reboot my phone at least 15x a day because i lose all sound i get calls people cant hear me i cant hear them, and the ringer just goes silent, no vibrate or ringer.
2. the signal is up and down all the time i never had issues with signal strength before
3. Internet browser likes to force close by itself for no reason
4. Rolling ball will just go nuts and flash white even though i dont have any new mail or msgs. I'm sure there's more wonderful items on the way, I went to VZW store yesterday Tech rep was real snotty and did a factory reset and was 100% confident i wouldn't have any more issues. It worked last night cause i got no phone calls but sure enough today i already had to reset 5x so i called 611 and the rep told me they hadn't heard of any sound issues at all which was shocking since all over these android forums that seems like it's a #1 complaint. I'm going to VZW store today and demanding a new Eris with 1.5 on it; 2.1 really is a P.O.S bigtimeee way to go HTC.
- Jen
Same problem as everyone else. I know why there's no sound though…it's because the sound profile resets itself to "silent" every 10 minutes or so. Even when the phone is powered on. It sucks! I can't stand it. My apps lock up, I'm missing calls, even if I set it to vibrate. I lost most of my "people" in the upgrade too! I absolutely hate the phone now.
- Victoria
I am so disappointed in this phone. I bought in November 2009 and loved it up until May 29th or so. I updated to Android 2.1 and since then the problems have been persistant and any attempt at a fix is futile. Rebooting solves the problem until I make a second call or someone calls me. I love google Navigation but hell – I'll go back to google maps/directions if I can just get 1.5 back! Sadly, HTC didn't even recognize the Droid Eris on their website for the longest time after it's initial release. HTC makes a good phone, but when I'm due for my upgrade – HTC may have lost a customer.
- Daphne
Same issues. I don't have much on my Phone. It was so great at first. My son has one as well. He received the download first. I told him to wait, I'll do it first. Good thing. I did not like that it takes you back to factory defaults for many items. This is an operating platform correct? I don't do this for my pc. At any rate, weather widget irks me. Forces close. Upon receiving a call the finger progressively decreases on its own. Phone vibrates while I'm making a call.1 bar of service. People can't hear me. When I make a call the phone used to pick the mobile number as priority, however, now picks home number. I've also had problems with Bluetooth. I'm not happy. Sure I got navigation, but I thought it was all supposed to work together.
- Steve
Anyone have any updates on if Verizon is working on a fix for the call audio issue. My phone works fine, but my wife got the update on her phone and since then has had a lot of trouble with making and receiving calls. There is no audio, but the call seems to go through and connect. Verizon even switched out her phone to a new (refurbished) one and that one has the same problem. Restarting the phone is a temporary fix, but they need to address it. She went to a VZW store today and their "tech" guy told her to remove the battery once a week and that should fix it. That is not a fix, that is a work around.
- Nuadi
Nate, thanks. Worked for me too. :)
- Beth
I have experienced most of the same. My calendar won't sync with Microsoft Exchange anymore, my contacts are all messed up and I can't even add appointments to my calendar's main page without a FC crashing in on me. This is so upsetting. I LOVED my phone before the update. I mean I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread – now I am so dissapointed. I feel like I had the best phone ever and now it has been taken away from me. I am absolutely going to call Verizon support and report these issues, and I will even go into a Verizon store if I can't get any help over the phone!
- Patty
Did not receive the update, so I downloaded it elsewhere. No problems except weather widget not working. I'm having trouble downloading some programs, for example, Skype. Coudl this be because I didn't get the "official" version?
- Matt
Received the update OTA and had the problem of not being able to hear when someone called me or when I called them. I would turn the phone off and turn it back on where I would find it working again but it would then stop working after about 15 mins. I took the phone into my Verizon store and the lady already had had a few cases where this was happening. She told me the best thing to do was just to get a replacement phone. After receiving my replacement phone in the mail, I haven't had a single problem with anything about it. Works great and 2.1 is so much better than 1.5. Much faster and battery life is absolutely amazing. Will have it on all day and with 1.5 the battery life would be almost out but with 2.1 my battery life at the end of the day is around 70-75%!
- Ak
I don't understand any of yalls complaints my phone performs better now then ever before!!! No problems of any you speak of. I know half of yalls problems came from not having a full battery before you started the update!! It will not install proprley with a low battery hence all the eff'in problems your having!!!!!
- Martin
Thanks Nate worked for me to. Weather issue is gone.
- Alan
I have loved my Eris up until today. I would try calling people… they could hear me, but I didn't hear anything, not even the ringing. I restarted my phone and now my haptic vibration no longer works?! I mean, how can I tell when I pressed a button correctly?! Not to mention all of my contacts went out of sync.
UGH! I am going to Verizon tomorrow.
- Sarah
I loved my Droid Eris before the update. But since the update to Android 2.1 it is always freezing up, and it runs a lot slower. i have been having trouble with calls and messaging too. That's not all, it seems everything on my Eris is out of whack; nothing works like it is supposed to/ or like it did. This update is not worth it, and I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of it.
- Sarah
P.S. I had great service before the update, never dropped a call, but now I rarely get more than 1 or 2 bars. I hate this update.
- aaron
The post below worked perfectly!!!
Thanks Nate!
Nate Jun 1st, 2010 at 5:53 PM I found this on another site and it resolved all of the weather widget problems for me
Go to
Settings/applications/manage applications/weather provider/clear data
Then go to
Settings/accounts and sync/weather/sync now

Verizon is half of the problem with phone issues. They should back their products and they rarely do. Most often times they just state "Really? We've dont have any record of the phone's having __ type of issues".
HTC Droid Eris is a great phone, obviously the make of the HTC Incredible shows that they realize this phone should have more internal memory capability…however since the 2.1 upgrade we have had issues with:
1. Phone deletes contacts about every other day. VZW blames Google and once again I say… back your product and resolve the issue, dont play blame games
2. Phone responds slower…internet slower, app opening slower etc.
For all of you who had great success with 2.1 good for you but dont minimize other peoples issues. Product quality has to be qualitative as much as quantitative and 30/70 working quality just doesnt cut it when you pay 200 bucks out of pocket for these types of smart phones.
- Jodi
Loved my Eris Droid BEFORE the update, TOTALLY HATE IT NOW! I used to try to get all my friends to go to Verizon but now it's embarrassing! Verizon you are about to loose a loyal customer, Eris you F'd up.
I have these same issues, most irritating:
Can't make a call, can't hear a call, they can't hear me. Hangs up and drops Bluetooth connection in my car and then the speaker option on the phone won't even work. Have to turn off 1-2 times a day to get it to work again, JUST TO MAKE A CALL!
Blank emails in the preview screen.
Volume is out of control, can't turn in call volume down.
Contacts are always refreshing so this takes a moment or two when I go to make a call from favorites list.
This is just the main problems many more as stated above. I feel a class action coming on.
If you can't fix it, don't break it VERIZON/ERIS who ever you are!
- Laurel
Yup, had nothing but problems since the 2.1 download. It's making me crazy!
- Michael
Both tricks – cleaning weather provider data and full reboot of OS (long push of power switch/power off then power switch again)worked for me: 1st fixed weather widget problem, 2nd fixed the Bluetooth problem. Reboot was done twice.
It's not the battery issue during the upgrade (my battery was 100% charged because I had this problem with Sony Reader before).
Have no problem with phone performance since the upgrade – probably because uninstalling all cool crap. TaskKiller helps a lot.
- summer
I just spoke with Amber who is a tech support supervisor and was completely shut down on this problem (HTC eris 2.1 update). All of the well documented phone problems since the update are now happening to my wifes phone and our business is suffering because of it. How can we be compensated for business and customers already lost by my company due to this problem? When i asked who is responsible for the update coming on to the phone, she blamed HTC. My issue is that we bought our phone from verizon and pay money to verizon so why am i needing to call HTC? They are taking advantage of the convoluted mess of having three companies involved being google, HTC and Verizon. Getting the same useless phone as a replacement is not the answer to our problems as we continually lose money with our phone based business. My wife and I were both very happy customers at Verizon until this update and the response. We had a fair proposal that would make the situation right which Verizon will not agree to. Amber compared it to buying a tv at walmart and that any problems with the item must be taken up with the manufacturer outside of the warranty. I say that is apples and oranges since a phone is made up of the hardware, software and service and much different than a TV. This kind of dumb analogy is an insult. It's more like the cable company(verizon) selling you a tv then zapping it with something that breaks it. Please fix this VERIZON or you will hear from a lawyer soon and lose many customers!
- Jeff
I just spent 1 hour wiht Verizon customer service demanding resolution to the many problems both my wife and I have experienced with these phones since the 2.1 update. After all the transfers I finally got a supervisor on the phone who basically told me it was not their problem. He offered nothing but appologies but no solution. He even went so far to tell me that he has not heard of any problems with the 2.1 update. Total denial. We have been customers of Verizon for 8 years, it would appear that customer loyalty does not carry any weight. Very dissatisfied.
- Lena
I too am having problems with the Eris after the 2.1 update. I would be interested in knowing anyone is having problems with the camera and if so, is there a fix? When I try to take a picture the track ball engages but the shutter doesn't engage. The camera just freezes and then goes to a black screen. After experiencing this problem several times I took the phone to Verizon and the tech couldn't replicate the problem so he wouldn't acknowledge I was having the problem. He told me to remove the battery and let the phone reboot. From what I have read that seems to be the pat answer to every problem. This is not a solution, especially when you are trying to capture a moment. Extremely frustrated that is what they are calling a fix. Something else I have noticed is that the phone prematurely sends my emails and messages before I tap the send button. I will be typing the message and off it goes before I even finish the word. That is really annoying.
- Karen Inclan
My Droid Eris isn't working i can't hear anything and what should i do? :(

Cesare Prandelli is without some key players for Italy's friendly with Spain in Madrid and, having called up several fresh faces, looks likely to experiment.
Both Mario Balotelli and Daniele De Rossi are out, the former through injury and the latter because he was seen punching Inter's Mauro Icardi during their recent game with Roma. Italy are also missing the injured forward Giuseppe Rossi, who had been enjoying a blistering season for Fiorentina.
Italy lost out to penalties the last time these two sides met. The Azzurri will want to up their game this time in order to beat their old rivals and set the tone for the summer and the 2014 World Cup.

How Inclusive has Growth Been During 1993/94-2009/10? - Part-II: State-Level Analysis
By Sukhadeo Thorat and Amaresh Dubey
The study, by Sukhadeo Thorat and Amaresh Dubey, examines changes in the incidence of poverty and its relationship to consumption expenditure growth at the state-level since economic reforms were launched in 1991.
In Part I of the paper, How Inclusive has Growth Been During 1993/94-2009/10?1, the analysis has been at the aggregate all-India level with disaggregation by place of residence (rural and urban), economic group of the households, and social as well as religious group of the households in the two sectors. In this second part of the paper, we extend the analysis to the level of Indian states and examine the changes in poverty in relation to growth between 1993/94 and 2009/10.

In fact, NP gave FFVI a 3.75 for telling people that it's not directed to kids. 3.75 out of 5 is around a C. But NP also stated that they found little to no flaws in it.
I honestly don't know where you got this random accusation from. Also, to be clear on this, many reviews were made much after their release.

I found it boring to play. Not interested in any of the characters. Not a fan of the environments that you're in for a lot of the game. To me its bad. Also this whole thing is pointless. Because in the end it comes down to opinions. You love the game other people hate. I don't know why you chose to do this but you won't convince anyone It's a good game if they don't already think that. They also won't convince you its a bad game. Lastly of course you'll counter them you like the game. They aren't gonna suddenly make you realise you actually hated playing the game. You liked it others didn't so just stop this. It's pointless for everyone.

FF13 was NOT bad. I actually quite liked it. It told a complete story and had a good ending, had engaging battles, and is still staggeringly pretty.
FF13-2 was an abomination- it ruins and retcons 13's story in the sake of making more money- gameplay was mess of garbage inflicted on us in a weak misguided attempt to "fix" what was perceived as "wrong" with 13.
Yes 13 was guilty of spending way too long in the "tutorial" phase of things, and could have used a town hub to return to (and a mini game/option sidequest or two to break things up), but it was a good entry.

It was bad because it was just ok. Nothing stood out. The world was bland. The characters were boring. The combat was pretty much autopilot. They didn't even TRY to hide the linearity. The what little plot was there was told poorly.
FF6 is considered one of the best RPGs ever. FF7, along with MGS, won the 5th generation for Sony, and is easily the most popular JRPG ever (not getting into debates about how good it is/isn't). How do you drop from that to just OK?

Skip to comments.New analysis counters claims that solar activity is linked to global warming
Posted on 07/11/2007 3:40:02 AM PDT by liberallarry
It has been one of the central claims of those who challenge the idea that human activities are to blame for global warming. The planet's climate has long fluctuated, say the climate sceptics, and current warming is just part of that natural cycle - the result of variation in the sun's output and not carbon dioxide emissions.
But a new analysis of data on the sun's output in the last 25 years of the 20th century has firmly put the notion to rest. The data shows that even though the sun's activity has been decreasing since 1985, global temperatures have continued to rise at an accelerating rate.
(Excerpt) Read more at guardian.co.uk ...
Forget Mars and Pluto we got a dude that did an analysis! An analysis based on 25 years! So that firmly dispenses all that "the sun is hot" business.
Those stupid planets probably just got hit by a meteor or something like that. That's probably what melted the Martian icecaps. Yes, the sun is hot, but it's not too bad, not when compared to evil capitalists driving carbon-belching SUV's.
C'mon the dude did an analysis and he used super-smart, scientific jargon and you ask, "what about Mars?" ManBearPig can only save one planet at a time, so chill! We got to like save the Earth and stuff first, cause that's where I keep all my stuff, dude.......................lol :)
The Earth is warming. We need more rock concerts.
Sure...and Einstein was wrong because he made a simple arithmetic error. Give it a rest.
Wooly Mammoth. They used go be around. Now they arent. It used to be cold and it got warmer.
It tends to get warmer until some volcano blows up or some asteroid hits the earth.
When did that volcanoe in the Phillipines blow up? I will bet that put the chill on things for a year or two.
Ok. Now that the sun is decreasing its power, I guess I will have to go back to the human treadmill to power the house. Solar just ain't cuttin it. The boy and wife aren't gonna like that.
With global warming, Greenland will get more open air rock concerts.
Son of MurryMom?
Yeah...which means detailed criticism cannot be made intelligently by those who haven't subscribed. Hmmm....
The lead author, however, is very, very adamant about the filmmakers who twisted his position (reminds one of Michael Moore, no?)
I'm pretty sure that this sentence is all f*ck*d up. Its the earth's magnetic field that shields it from the sun's cosmic rays. The earth doesn't produce cosmic rays. At least it didn't when I was in school which admitttedly was a long time ago. Is this a peer reviewed study and who were the peers ?
That's your idea of wit? No wonder your arguments are so poor. Are you really a Doctor? More likely a Doker (kudos to Mel Brooks).
The solubility of a gas in a liquid decreases with increased temperature. CO2 in the atmosphere follows warming events, just as in your warm Coke example.
How long after intensified solar heating does it take for the warmer upper layers of the oceans to mix and distribute their heat? Many seasons will pass before the cooler regions begin to release some of their CO2.
The oceans are a huge CO2 sink, and it is more complicated than simple solubility, because the oceans are buffered. Every clam traps CO2 as calcium carbonate.
This is a sensible explanation for the built in time delay.
The solar researchers cited have managed to flunk both Thermodynamics and Chemistry, but never mind that. They FEEL the right way, and the motives are noble.
The guardian is a commie rag. Anything that they say is automatically suspect.
Yet here it is on a discussion forum. Posted by... you. And now you claim, if you read you correctly, that we can't debate or debunk it because we can't actually read the article.
Take a hike, junior.
Thanks for the links. Looks like they were only looking at solar radiation and not the solar magnetic field and related effects.
Do you spend all your time reading my mind?
I think they're saying that both sun and earth magnetic fields would tend to shunt incoming heavy nuclei aka cosmic rays away from the earth. But in what experimental vessel did anybody ever verify this basic assertion about cosmic rays and clouds?
It was my understanding that the incident solar radiation striking and heating the Earth has increased recently. I recall a paper from the Max Plank Solar Institute. I fee uneasy about this article because of the lack of a reference.
Your confusing the reporting with the science.
MurryMom was also quite fond of jumping to huge conclusions in a single bound. She hasn't been heard from in quite a long time. Give your mom a call!
I saw that, I can only assume it was typo, but you would certainly expect better since the topic seems to be closed to further study. You know the alternate theory being so firmly dispensed and all.
But the abstract is pretty good.
"I have seen dozens of pictures of those weather monitor stations that were placed next to air conditioner outputs, incinerators, asphalt pads, black top parking lots etc." ~ LibLieSlayer
Here's the link: http://www.norcalblogs.com/watts/weather_stations/
What conclusions have I jumped to? Aren't you confusing me with the reporter and the reporter with the scientists? Once again. Are you really a Doctor? I'd hate to think so since your ability to reason is so poor.
The Earth is warming. We need more rock concerts.Excellent. How succinctly you have expressed the Prime Idiocy of the 21st Century.
I can't work out what you're talking about. Is it your contention that solar insolation ISN'T the primary factor in global temperature?
In which case its time to EAT SOME GRAPHS!!! :0)
The following is a collection of temperature reconstructions. Note the sinusoidal variations in temperature over the last 1000 years. Note the high temperatures 1000 years ago. Perhaps the Guardian can explain how those evil Greenlanders managed to drive temperatures so high in 1000 AD. And why temperatures got so low in the 1600's?
the time frame's too small, I think. Also, if the mass of the Earth were heated, it would release the heat when external cooling occurred. Just like the mass used to passively heat some homes.
But again, since when do scientists decide anything based on one study of such a small time frame? When they are politicians, not scientists.
The reporters' veracity has appeared to exceed that of these scientists.
No IPCC grant for you!
Me too.
I even questioned Erlich about his loss to Simon and his disagreement with his collegue Thomas Sowell. His response was that only his timing was wrong. An unpleasant character that Erlich...but I think he was correct.
As for global cooling and other scientific hypothesis which have been shown to be wrong...so what? If you're trying to say that all human knowledge is conditional and limited, you're right. If you're trying to say that science is always wrong, you're dead wrong.
You mean scientists who study climate? Gee, I don't know. Maybe they don't read the same comic books you do. What do you think?
Well, it does look rather ridiculous for these slyentists to peer at this forest through a mere 25 year wide drinking straw.
How so? Have you read the full report? I doubt it. I doubt you've even read the abstract.
Something we can all agree on. It's the poisoning of science with vast injections of government money that seems to be the problem.
There's no limit to your foolishness, is there? They're pointing out that correlations which held over long periods of time in the past do not apply in the most recent 25 years.
Hmmm... No, liberallarry, I think you are confused as to which persons are relying on comic book thinking.
"i'd hate to think so since your ability to reason is so poor."
very strange. disagreement with a liberal brings condescension, denigration, insult. just like disagreeing with those fellows who broke all those windows so many years ago. (insufferable, global-warming goosesteppers, one and all, not to mention punks.)
Unfortunately, it costs a great deal of money to do modern experiments...there's no way around it.
D-—— if you do, d-—— if you don't. Either that, or it seems to get hidden behind costly gates for the eyes of the elite (like this particular one). A field of study whose consequences are as profound as this deserves to happen in the public domain, where any Jane or Joe with Matlab or similar tool can crunch the equations and numbers and say either bravo or bunkum to the leading theories for themselves.
The tiny time period makes it impossible to answer the question of whether we are looking at a valid representative of a trend of centuries or a mere piece of noise.
You seem to be suffering from the same limitations as Levy, who began the denigration and insult (under the guise of wit). Look closely at my posts. I am not an equal opportunity insulter. I treat with respect those who deserve it...and they don't have to agree with me to deserve it, they just have to be capable of arguing well.
I just love to keep poking rabid wildcats with a stick.
Yummy graphs, contra, thanks. ;-)

Dan Morton is hoping Scenic Blast can return home in a blaze of glory during the spring after spending almost four years interstate or overseas.
The $500,000 weight-for-age Winterbottom Stakes (1200m), run at Ascot on November 24, is the trainer's prime target.
However, he hasn't dismissed a first-up run for Scenic Blast in the Prince Of Wales Stakes (1200m) on October 27.
The 2008-09 Australian horse of the year ran second to Dante's Volonte in an 1100m sprint on January 10, 2009 at his last race at Ascot.
That launched a whirlwind campaign which saw the striking son of Scenic win the Group 1 Lightning Stakes (1000m) and Group 1 Newmarket Handicap (1200m) at Flemington, before heading to England to win the Group 1 King's Stand Stakes (1000m) at Royal Ascot that June.
Scenic Blast toured the Global Sprint circuit to race at the elite level in the Sprinters' Stakes (1200m) in Japan and the Hong Kong Sprint (1200m) in the same year.
After a bleeding attack in Hong Kong, Scenic Blast was transferred to John Shirreffs, the US trainer of famed mare Zenyatta. He ran places at Group 1 and Group 3 level in California.
Scenic Blast had a second operation to fix a breathing problem after he flopped in the Schweppes Stakes and Patinack Classic at Moonee Valley last spring.
Morton took the eight-year-old to Queensland in the autumn where he ran second to Buffering first up at Eagle Farm on May 2, before running second and 13th to the crack three-year-old filly Sea Siren in the Group 1 BTC Cup and Doomben 10,000 at Doomben.
Morton spelled Scenic Blast and his multiple Group 1 winner Scenic Shot in Queensland before the two horses were floated home to Ascot.
"I am rapt with both of them," Morton said. "They are in work now and going along fine.
"I staggered their trip back to Perth. They had nearly two weeks in Melbourne where they spent some time on a walking machine.
"I want to keep Scenic Blast's prep short and sharp. Whether that means he has one or two runs we will see."
Morton said he would "wait and see" whether Scenic Shot would race again. He was ninth to Lights Of Heaven in the Brisbane Cup (2400m) on June 12.
The 10-year-old has earned $3,095,880 from 17 wins and 16 placings at 74 starts. "If he is happy and I am happy with him then he'll race. If not, he won't," Morton said.
