Sugar factory comes down after 100-year history – VIDEO
EATON, COLORADO — Shelly Ingersoll was up at 5:30 a.m. on Sunday to make sure she had a front-row seat to the 8 a.m. show.
It proved to be the longest wait ever for the shortest thrill ever, she said.
Twenty-five seconds after the first round of explosives were heard coming from the former Great Western Sugar factory off U.S. 85 and 4th Street, it was over.
Only the shell of the 111-year-old piece of Eaton history remained standing.
"It didn't want to go down," Ingersoll said with a laugh after the implosion that took out the middle part of the main building along with a water tower and smoke stack. "It wanted to stay."
The implosion slightly disappointed most of the hundreds of people who had gathered to watch the event hoping to see the entire building collapse, but it was what the company hired to bring it down and clean up the area expected.
"I was hoping that if they were going to kill a piece of history, that they'd do it a little more spectacularly," Ingersoll said. "But we did see what we came for."
Officials with Recycled Materials Company, Inc., which oversaw the project, and Dykon Explosive Demolition Corp., the company hired to bring the building down, said on Friday that the outside walls of the building might remain intact after the implosion.
They wanted to make sure the support beams of the building didn't become shrapnel to security officers, company employees or spectators who lined the viewing areas with lawn chairs, blankets and cameras.
Dave Alexander, the general superintendent on the project for Recycled Materials, said cast-iron doesn't react in explosions like steel, it can cause a lot of damage. For that reason, they wanted to contain the implosion as much as possible, so they only wired the ground floor beams. They loosened the bolts on the beams of the two upper floors, so they would collapse when the lower floor came down — internally.
The company will finish bringing the building down and then clean up the area. Recycled Materials paid Eaton $50,000 to demolish the building. It will collect the scraps.
The 25 seconds it took to bring down what did come down was still exciting. As the smoke stack fell, the water tower hit the roof of the building, and the outside wall of the mid-section fell in a plume of smoke.
"Cool!" most every child younger than 10 could be heard saying.
As people waited for the sound of dynamite, some stood around and speculated about what happened to the building that has sat empty for more than three decades.
Some came, simply, because they had never witnessed an implosion before.
"Imagine all the sunrises this place has seen over the years," said Greeley resident Susie Himmel, who brought her niece and a friend to watch history.
Jon Pfeiffer, who worked for Great Western in both Brighton and Longmont in the 1960s, has lived in Eaton for five years. He came out of curiosity.
"Kind of looked like a dud," he said with a laugh.
And still others came to see the staple along the Eaton skyline for one last time.
"It's weird," 11-year-old Gavin Huckaby said. "That water tower has navigated farmers to Eaton for 100 years. But I guess the silo will work well for that, too."

Kathryn Lofton's "The Methodology of the Modernists: Process in American Protestantism"
Posted by Trevor Burrows
4 comments
The last few weeks have found me reading through some of the recent scholarship on both liberal Protestantism and religious liberalism. Thinking about such topics always leads me to questions of definition. What does it mean to be liberal in terms of religion and spirituality, Protestant or otherwise? Is it primarily a theological category? How does "liberal" relate to other aspects of religious life and practice? And how does liberal religion intersect with conditions of modern life and culture? As such questions have been gaining greater ground in scholarly circles as of late, I would like to call attention to an article that has helped me to broaden my own understanding of liberal Protestantism at the turn of the twentieth century.
Kathryn Lofton's "The Methodology of the Modernists: Process in American Protestantism" (Church History, June 2006) provides a useful contribution to discussions of Protestant modernism and liberal Protestant identity. Lofton correctly observes that William Hutchison's The Modernist Impulse in American Protestantism still stands as the dominant historical exposition of modernist thought. Hutchison argued that modernists were defined by three characteristics: their emphasis on God's immanence, what Lofton calls their "postmillenial progressivism," and their unique understanding of the intimate relationship between religion and culture, a stance that compelled Protestants to actively adapt to modern cultural challenges and imperatives. It is this latter aspect of modernist thought - the willingness to engage and adapt to new knowledge and shifts in modern culture - that, for Hutchison, most distinguished the modernists from other liberal Protestants.
Lofton's article argues for another critical characteristic of modernist identity: their method. Modernist coherence was not based in a foundation of shared doctrine or theological precepts, but rather in a shared understanding of religious belief and experience as an ongoing and rigorous intellectual process. Modernists incorporated the self-evident soundness of the scientific method into religious life by directing the processes of analysis and interpretation toward the twin pillars of Christian faith, the Bible and the person of Jesus Christ, in order to consciously rearticulate them in light of new knowledge and circumstances. This emphasis on method redefined the nature of Christian practice by aligning faith with constant study and interpretation rather than simply doctrine. To stress inquiry over content or conclusion, however, risked undermining the usefulness of belief. "While evangelicals and fundamentalists told their followers precisely what to do and how to think," Lofton writes, "modernists encouraged curiosity, relentless skepticism, and expansion. Into such an abyss of knowledge, little Christian clarity could emerge" (400). The emphasis on process within modernist practice opened up new possibilities for Christian faith in the twentieth century, but it left many believers unmoored and uncertain.
Although published in 2006, I have not seen Lofton's article referenced in any of the recent literature on liberal religion - this is unfortunate, as the article accomplishes two things for students and scholars of religious liberalism. First, she helps to situate religious modernists alongside other forms of modernism, thus placing the movement within a broader cultural context that can be easily overlooked. In emphasizing method over content, Lofton suggests, the religious modernist enterprise paralleled similar movements in other cultural fields, especially in art and literature. But her article makes another useful, and perhaps more important, contribution. By redirecting our attention from theological content to religious life as process, Lofton provides a valuable entry-point for thinking about liberal religious practice as opposed to liberal religious theology; it gets at the dynamic, searching quality of liberal Protestant thought, a quality that clearly influenced later generations of Protestant thinkers. At the same time, it raises questions, old and new, that speak to major themes in a number of recent works (including Matthew Hedstrom's The Rise of Liberal Religion and Schmidt and Promey's recent edited collection, American Religious Liberalism). How did modernists and other types of liberal religious thinkers work to change the contours of day-to-day belief and practice? How did the average mainline congregant incorporate this notion of process into their own spiritual lives? Did the Protestant method have equivalents within non-Protestant traditions? And, perhaps most importantly, what effects did liberal religion as process have on broader currents of American culture? Indeed, Lofton's article is proving an excellent companion as I consider these and other recent works on religious liberalism, and I encourage those interested in related subjects to give it a good read.

Thanks so much for this introduction to Lofton's article!
Personally, I'm skeptical of old uses of the "modernist" label within the study of American Protestantism. It works well enough when the subject is (like Lofton's) the turn to "empirical" methods of inquiry. Really, it's the pragmatist method that was so thoroughly embraced by turn-of-the-century religious educators and seminarians. However, historians of liberal and mainline/ecumenical Protestantism still have not come to terms with what David Bains has called the "liturgical impulse" in those churches. How do we square modernist methodology with the all-too-evident traditionalism of self-described twentieth-century "Catholic Protestants" or "Evangelical Catholics"?
Mark, excellent question at the end of your post. I too missed Katie's article. Given her engagement with Hutchison, I feel I must read it now! I'd be curious to hear more though on the point about modernists not sharing theological beliefs or doctrines, but that they somehow had a "shared understanding" of religious belief and experience as an ongoing process. That needs a little unpacking for me. I'm curious why no one has brought up Christopher White's excellent "Unsettled Minds." The call for a more capacious understanding of "liberal Protestant" is part of his project, but his attempt to link the rise of liberal Christianity to personal experience (especially the desire for spiritual assurance in a cultural context where Calvinist parents and preachers emphasized this is a necessary aspect of attaining a deeply personal "true religion" is particularly illuminating. The turn to psychology to validate or explain stages of religious development, if I remember White correctly, was part of this broader effort at grounding religious experience in the verifiable or empirical. Perhaps one basic point is that "liberal" or modernist as a generic reference is not all that helpful unless it is placed in a specific historical moment and especially when it is used as a self-identifier or term of opprobrium (by critics) in heated moments of debates and cultural transition. That way of examining is clearly not sufficient, but one necessary part of a broader analysis.

And, perhaps most importantly, what effects did liberal religion as process have on broader currents of American culture?
Or perhaps most importantly for American Protestantism, whether it was the other way around, the hunter captured by the game.
I've been following what is left of [Harry Emerson] Fosdickism, the Rockefeller-financed Riverside Church in New York, whose leadership--including the pulpit-- has been marked "interim" for some time, as though there is some discernible direction for this monument to liberal American pop theology.
The social justice department seems to be squared away with permanent officers, but the religion department seems to be drifting toward a semi-permanent interregnum.
Much like Reform Jews, who waggishly concede that their only differences with the Democratic Party lately are their holidays.

text: Legendre 985 Report post Posted June 30, 2013 I am making a small RPG with limited multiplayer. In science fiction RPGs, I can revive players from death with technology: cloning, reconstruction of body etc. In fantasy RPGs, there is always magic: resurrection spell, healing spells etc. How do we revive players in semi-realistic RPGs that does not have high technology or magic? One way to do it is to say the player didn't die, he or she gets seriously injured and later recovers. But I am really hoping to have death and macabre ways to die in my game, so this is out. An alternative is to have the player control a team instead: a team member can go out, adventure, dies and be replaced. But this is loses a lot of immersion and role-playing since everyone is controlling generic team members. I will be so grateful if someone has any other ideas? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's only a problem for foreigners, at least in the case of Arabic. It's actually easier to read without all the vowels, since they're mostly predictable anyway. Same for Hebrew. But I agree, as a foreigner, lack of pointing is a real pain, at least until you start getting a feel for the language. But Persian may be different, I don't know--Swahili certainly was; it was almost unintelligible sometimes without vowel marking, and AFAIK there isn't the nostalgia for the old script you sometimes find for Turkish.
If you pine for the sukun, be glad that consonant pointing is now almost universal. It wasn't always that way. The Quran was unpointed, and not just for vowels, one reason there are still three variants of the Quran in use today (there were once 13 official interpretations). Inscriptions in Turkey are often missing consonant pointing as well, which would be a huge barrier to literacy.
But for me part of the beauty of a script is its ease of use, of learning, reading, and writing. Medieval Latin was a vast improvement over the script the Romans used, an improvement that Greek and Cyrillic only partially followed (no real cursive form in the first case, basically all small caps in the second).

Fall in Love With Chocolateby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Holidays, Healthy Tips, February 10, 2009
There aren't many things better than chocolate — though it's a high-calorie sweet, a little bit here and there can be a healthy indulgence. To get you in the mood for Valentine's Day, here are some basic facts and, of course, irresistible recipes.
Cacao to Chocolate
Originally grown by the Aztecs 2,000 years ago, pods of the cacao (pronounced "kah-KOW") tree are mashed into a paste to make this world-renowned confection. There are actually many steps to get from the cocoa bean to a delicious chocolate treat. Beans are usually roasted to enhance their flavor, cracked, ground and pressed into a thick substance called "chocolate liquor," which contains cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Think of cocoa butter as the natural fat of the cacao bean -– it gives chocolate that melt-in-your-mouth quality. In some cases, chocolate makers remove remove cocoa butter and grind pure cocoa solids into cocoa powder — great for smoothies or hot chocolate.
Special combinations of chocolate liquor, cocoa solids, milk, sugar and cocoa butter join to create all those lovely chocolate varieties. Milk chocolate is at least 10% chocolate liquor and 12% whole milk, the Bittersweet kind is 35% liquor –- different manufacturers add varying amounts of sugar and cocoa butter to create their signature flavors. White chocolate is simply cocoa butter, sugar and flavoring. Some die hard chocolate lovers refuse to accept it as chocolate since it contains none of the prized cocoa solids.
Think you're a choco-wiz? Take the Chocolate Challenge.
Healthy Hype
Cocoa beans contain oodles of vitamins and minerals including vitamin A and E, B vitamins, calcium, iron and potassium –- there is a nutrient to benefit just about every part of your body. Cocoa is also packed with numerous antioxidants (more than green tea or red wine). Theobromine is a powerful antioxidant; it's good for reducing inflammation and lowering blood pressure but bad for pets (this is the substance in chocolate that is toxic to dogs and cats). The cocoa butter alone also contains unique antioxidants as well as some heart healthy, unsaturated fat.
It's important to recognize that COCOA contains all these fabulous nutrients, which is why eating pounds of CHOCOLATE (also rich in sugar, milk and, therefore, calories and fat) can lead to weight gain. While you may not be able to justify eating pounds of the stuff, enjoying it in moderation can be good for you. Dark chocolate varieties contain more cocoa, which means more nutrients. When it comes to calories and fat, they are about the same. An ounce of milk or dark chocolate has about 150 calories and 9 grams of fat.
Special Powers
As for calling chocolate an aphrodisiac, there's not a large amount of scientific proof, but it does contain a bit of phenylethylamine, a substance linked to feelings of happiness or love. I say go with it!
Ways to Enjoy
However you prefer to drizzle or nibble, you can't really go wrong. Cookies and cake are obvious choices. Fruit dipped in chocolate gives you the best of both worlds. Make your own chocolate candies with any combination of nuts and dried fruit. Sip on a cup of warm chocolate kissed with cinnamon. Enhance the flavor of chocolate by adding coffee (a tip from Ina Garten).
Chocolate doesn't have to be for dessert. Cocoa powder and unsweetened chocolate work well in chili and other sauces (like Mole sauce) to add richness and depth of flavor.

It's strawberry season! Last weekend I discovered an early patch of local strawberries, visiting Johnson's Corner Farm in Medford, NJ. But over the next few weeks, berry farms across the country will be opening for business, fresh fruit ripe and ready in the fields. Visit PickYourOwn.org to find a farm near you, and DO NOT let strawberry season slip by without a journey to the source. Plucking your food off a plant is pure, priceless fun with friends and family.
And, of course, the best part is figuring out what to do with your strawberries once you get home. Find inspiration from TasteSpotting or see what Jamie Oliver suggests in his cooking-from-the-garden show Jamie at Home.
I ran across a "no-recipe" recipe in Jamie's Italy that added the perfect sparkle of flavor to my fresh-picked fruit: Mix the sliced berries with a little sugar, a squeeze of lemon juice, a bit of lemon zest and some torn mint leaves. Perfect.
Favorite way to enjoy strawberries? Any good tips?

To do this, simply associate the thing that you need to do (go to the bank) with a phonetic keyword for 1 (tie). Visualize the next thing that you need to do (pick up dinner) with a keyword for 2 (knee). When you wake up in the morning, you simply need to go through your keywords to remember the things that you need to do.
A variation on this method is to group your keywords by category. For example keywords 1-10 could be used for things related to work, keywords 11-20 could be for things related to home, and so on. This will help mentally organize your to-do list.
To reduce interference between days, you could use different keywords for each day of the week. Monday uses keywords 1-10, Tuesday 11-20, etc. Pick the method that works best for you.

Psychic and the KingSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
There was once a king of a foreign country. He had a psychic who always made fun of him when he wasn't around. The king heard the psychic one day. He was going to ask the psychic one more question and then kill him. The psychic finds out about his plan. He had to save himself somehow. The king asked him when he (the king) would die. The psychic gave an answer that saved his life. What answer did he give?
AnswerHe said the king would die the day that he (the psychic) dies himself. The king wanted to live so he just left him alone.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
A recent headline from a McKinsey report on sales trends spoke volumes: "Customers want it all."
Think about what a typical buyer is dealing with today, and it's understandable why their "wants" are so wide-ranging. They have higher expectations placed on them, but tighter resources and increased scrutiny on their spending. Every purchase decision is expected to have a clear business benefit.
Their workloads are escalating. E-mail inboxes are overflowing, not just from client, co-worker, colleague and supervisor communications, but also from all of the people who are constantly trying to sell them something.
With the time, attention, budget and responsibility pressures adding up, customers want fast and highly efficient transactions, flexible approaches and solutions that can simplify and address complex challenges. Tallying up the list of "wants" ultimately boils down to a desire for partners who aren't just going to sell to them, but who will add value by solving their problems and making their jobs easier and faster. If the sales professional can't make a connection quickly and understand what's most important to the customer, the customer is going to find a salesperson who can.
Meanwhile, sales professionals are dealing with pressures of their own.
Sales professionals need to build the kind of relationships that lead to shorter buying cycles, larger deals and long-term loyalty, but that is a tall order when the customer simultaneously "wants it all" and doesn't have any time to spare.
How do we help sales professionals quickly develop the savvy to deal with the dual realities of ever-more-aggressive sales targets and customer demands for what sales consultant Tom Searcy calls "silly putty contracts" that keep options flexible in favor of the customer, depending on the economic environment?
How do we keep sales professionals focused on generating revenue and making the most of every opportunity when there are so many new ways to "lose?" Customers will begin looking at the entire set of experiences that a company provides, not just a single service, transaction or product.
To be successful, sales professionals have to:
Spending on sales training is on the rise, but we have to start with thinking to get the best return on that investment. Are your sales professionals focusing their time and energy on the activities your customers really value?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/2/2013 (1656 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The numbers don't lie. But the truth they're offering adds up to some pretty dark and dangerous stuff.
Unfortunately for Martin Bohm, a head-on collision with the most perilous of permutations and numerical combinations is inevitable as he seeks to understand what his gifted son, Jake, knows about numbers and patterns while at the same time protecting him from evil entities that seek to exploit the boy's extraordinary knowledge.
Yes, the stakes have been raised as the Fox drama Touch begins its second season, with Martin (Kiefer Sutherland) on the run as various factions of an international corporate conglomerate called Aster Corp. increase their efforts to locate, abduct and perhaps kill Jake (David Mazouz).
As Touch's long-delayed sophomore campaign finally begins, Martin's flight from danger has taken him and Jake all the way across the continental U.S. to California, where at last season's end they encountered Lucy Robbins (Maria Bello), whose daughter, Amelia (Saxon Sharbino), has been missing for three years and was apparently targeted because she possesses gifts similar to Jake's.
Lucy has been told that her daughter is dead; she doesn't believe it, and her not-so-chance meeting with Martin and Jake on the Santa Monica Pier strengthens her belief that Amelia is alive and can be found.
Martin, Jake and Lucy form an uneasy alliance with their main focus being an all-out effort to find Amelia. Martin has a friend -- a former colleague from his days as a newspaper reporter -- whose connections and online resources could help them turn a few numerical clues into a solid lead regarding the missing girl's location.
Meanwhile, over at the evil empire known as Aster Corp., a genius mathematician named Calvin Norburg (Lukas Haas) is on the verge of a career-defining algorithmic discovery, but he's having second thoughts about turning its results over to a for-profit company that might use the information for nefarious purposes.
When he tries to extricate himself from his Aster Corp. contract, Calvin is told in no uncertain terms that there's really no way out. Frustrated, he uses a scheduled speech before the company's shareholders to lambaste his employers for their less-than-noble motives.
Across the pond in Brussels, a mysterious man named Guillermo Ortiz (Said Taghmaoui) is searching for a uniquely gifted composer who wrote one perfect piece of music and then quit, going underground and working as a baker. When he finds the musician, a discussion of the divine beauty of art has rather distressing results.
As is always the case in Touch, these events -- indeed, all events -- are connected by patterns and paths toward destiny that only Jake and his ilk can understand. And the fun of the storyline is watching as non-gifted types such as Martin and Lucy struggle to make sense of the complexities their offspring have forced them to consider.
Equally entertaining, still, is watching Sutherland in a post-Jack Bauer role in which dangerous encounters and physical confrontations (which become more frequent as Jake is drawn closer to his version of the truth) don't always end with the good guy winning.
Touch isn't ever going to be a big, mainstream hit, because the appeal of its numbers-based narrative is sure to elude a big slice of the couchbound crowd. But for those who are drawn to this show's labyrinthian logic and ethereal imaginings about the order of all things, Touch continues to be a drama that can satisfy its followers while providing Fox with ratings numbers that meet modest Friday-night expectations and could justify a sustained prime-time run.

Forgot about the other problems...
Sorry, but I forgot to mention that this thing also seems to constantly erase my text messages, call log, AND caller ID. So often times it wont let me accept an incoming call for some reason, and then it won't record the number of the person that called. So basically, unless I am sitting right at my desk with pen & pad ready or they leave a voicemail, I have no idea who has called me.Design 5/10Features 5/10Sound Quality 7/10Signal Strength 6/10Value for money 1/10

Real Disapointment
OK, I know smartphones are known to have a few issues with them, but the phone should actually work, right? I have been looking for quite some time now for a new phone that can do interet browsing, scheduler, phone, email, etc and I chose to go with the Blackberry Pearl from Verizon Wireless. I am now on my SECOND pearl from them since I got it around the end of December. I will say that I love the email and calendar, but the phone just doesnt work! The system locks up frequently, the pearl trackball has never worked right & takes forever to get it to scroll down on anything, and frequently it locks up every time I try to type in a phone number to dial. Oh yeah, at times it wont let me accept incoming calls either. I would love to think that it was just my phone, but I had these same problems with my first one too, thats why I got the second one. I have now owned it for over 3 months and I can't wait to replace it, that is sad.Design 5/10Features 5/10Sound Quality 7/10Signal Strength 6/10Value for money 1/10

I switched to the BB Pearl from a Palm Treo and after multiple aggrivating trips and phone calls to verizon and BB I am going back to the Treo. The phone would drop text messages,call logs and just stop working. After multiple attempts(15 to be exact) verizon switched phones out for me. It will lock up and you have to remove the battery to "reset" it to normal functions. This is by far the worst reliable phone I have ever had.

Best PDA ever!
This phone has by far been the best I have owned. I charge it every 2-3 days and I use it constantly throughout the day! Great reception on VZW network. Only quirk as stated by another reviewer is that the phone deletes txt/call logs/emails randomly. I don't mind, since I don't necessarily want millions of txt adding up like it did on my Treo.
Previous post, mentioned he wanted to separate emails/txt/call log. this IS possible! I did it. I now have my call log separate than emails/txt. and my txt sorted separately than emails. Go to Messages icon, push in ball, push in blackberry button, select "options", scroll down to "SMS and Email Inboxes" change this to "separate". This should solve that problem!!!

Poor Functions
Nothing ever seems to operate like it should. Often it appears that the menu options will designate themselves from one time to another. Also, I have experienced on 5 devices that I have used, the memory on them is absolutely horrific and seems to delete itself at whim. The call log memory, email memory, and texts seem to do what they prefer, spontaneously erasing. On one the bluetooth quit functioning after no more than a week. Horrible! Every single one seems to have some quirk that the last one didn't. I have eventually settled on the one with fewest evils!Design 6/10Features 3/10Sound Quality 7/10Signal Strength 6/10Value for money 5/10

Awesome Phone
The Pearl had been one of the best phones I've ever had. It gets great reception in places I did not think possible. The sound quality is great, the suretype texting is very convient, and the camera is wonderful. The only problem I have had with the phone is when it decides to delete my call logs and text messages. I had to replace the phone which was a minor issue so I shall see if my new one has this issue. But other than that I absolutely LOVE this phone. I would highly recommend anyone to get this phone. and since it's with Verizon that just makes this phone even better.Design 10/10Features 10/10Sound Quality 9/10Signal Strength 10/10Value for money 8/10

Good Phone When it Works
I was excited to see the Pearl come out on Verizon because I had looked into several PDA's and after owning a Palm Treo 650p was somewhat scared. I wanted the BB reliability, stable OS etc, and my Pearl appears to be stable except for the memory leak issue which supposedly BB is trying to fix. I get my corporate emails directly to my phone, which is around 20+ per day, along with all the texts as well. My only lament is that the inbox does not seperate text messages, calls and emails. I would prefer to have one inbox just for email, and a seperate inbox for texts and mms. It just makes sense. Regular phones do that, I was a bit disappointed to realize that there was no way of separating these in my inbox. I like the call quality of the Pearl, reception is good, however in lower service areas (eg. Duluth MN) the phone isn't exactly a paperweight, but it certainly encroaches paperweight status especially when I am not downtown. (it's kinda embarassing actually, to have two other verizon phones that work just fine and my BRAND SPANKIN' NEW BB PEARL doesn't work...). Also I am a bit concerned with the manufacturing of the phone as in some cases it seems shoddy. For example, if you pull out the battery and look under it you can see circuitry. This is a detail that I would rather not actually lay eyes on. At least put something back there, even a sticker would be better than nothing. My back stays on, however it is loose feeling, not a huge deal that the silicone cover...Design 8/10Features 9/10Sound Quality 9/10Signal Strength 6/10Value for money 10/10

I called tech support and found out that Alltel & Blackberry are working on the problem. They released a phone with a 2-meg/pix camera that cannot send or receive pictures?!

About Time RIM has released a good phone on a real carrier.
Sprint's blackberry plan is great too. Unlimated Text, Nav, Web, And Email, along with access to Sprint Music and TV stores. and Only 30 bucks a month. Not to mention the 8130 is so much smarter than its GSM counterparts, Better sound, bluetooth and camera.

Why do you say things that make no since
The pearl is a great cacth for verizon and it seems that the phone was layed out well. the size is perfect and the streaming of music was awsome.
Why would anybody swicth to T-moblie for a phone? The whole point in having a phone is to make calls!! the manufacturs make phones and the network work supports them.( news flash) So i guess that verizon is really bad????

Verizon, you're expensive, your phones suck, but you got great service. Please please please get the Pearl soon, i'm dying to get it!!

Mike Kelly is the odd man out in the federal Labor government in the row over the approval for the Tralee housing development.
The three Labor MPs representing Canberra are firmly against the project, saying it will inhibit the development of Canberra Airport and possibly redirect flights across Canberra.
Federal Transport Minister Anthony Albanese also says the go-ahead defies commonsense.
''The idea that you have a flight path that is housing-free into a major airport and then you decide to put housing under it is pretty extraordinary,'' he said on Tuesday.
Dr Kelly, whose electorate is based on Queanbeyan, said he looked at the reality of the future of aviation in the region.
''Canberra Airport is never going to be Sydney's second airport as Mr Albanese has confirmed,'' he said.
''Where Sydney's second airport does finish up, we know that is where the freight traffic will go as well.
''When I first got to grips with this issue in 2007 I actually agreed with the Canberra Airport about the proposal as it stood then but I believe the way the proposal has been reworked does meet all the concerns of the airport as a viable option.
''They've substantially reduced the area [of housing] and they've put it outside the flight path.
''I am all in favour of the Canberra Airport expanding their business and I salute their ambition.
''I think Canberra Airport will improve and increase their volume and I certainly wish them well with that but I don't believe on an objective analysis that they will end up as Sydney's second airport and, therefore, Tralee is compatible with everybody's interests.
''I've been closely involved in this for quite a few years now and I just have a different perspective on it [to other Labor MPs], having followed closely how the design of the proposal has changed and looked through the realities of what's going to happen with aviation in this Sydney-Canberra area.''
Canberra's federal Labor MPs - Kate Lundy, Gai Brodtmann and Andrew Leigh - said the Tralee go-ahead undermined the call from NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell for Canberra Airport to be Sydney's second airport.
It also had the potential to redirect flight paths over long-standing residential areas of Canberra, they said.
Ms Brodtmann said she was angry about the go-ahead.
''It defies logic in that there are so many reports advising against it,'' she said.
''This short-term decision by a Liberal NSW government has a long-term impact on the future of Canberra.
''It has an impact on the growth of the airport and an impact on our economic growth and it could push flight paths over Canberra. We want growth for the airport and for Canberra to be unimpeded.''
Dr Leigh said the three Canberra federal MPs had argued consistently the Tralee development was a bad idea.

Columbia Business School 10th Annual Healthcare Conference
Columbia Business School's Healthcare Industry Association (HCIA) and the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Management (HPM) Program
Friday, November 22, 2013 from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM (EST)
Welcome to the 10th annual Columbia Business School Healthcare Conference! We are excited about this year's Program, as we bring together experts from across the full spectrum of the healthcare industry to discuss and debate the dramatic changes underway to align incentives, improve health outcomes, and "get costs out of the system". There is a clear recognition among providers, payers, manufacturers, and policy makers that "something has to give", and thus novel technologies, business processes, and unique collaborations are being pursued at an accelerated pace.
As reflected in this year's theme: "Creating Value-Based Solutions for a Discerning Healthcare Buyer", the Conference will focus on creating models and enabling technologies to address unmet medical needs, enhance health outcomes, and allow consumers to make more informed decisions on the cost and value of healthcare products and services. At the Conference we will move past the political acrimony and rancor around "Obamacare" and focus on how system stakeholders can provide sustainable improvement in the delivery of high quality affordable healthcare.
The Conference attracts more than 500 industry practitioners and students from Columbia and other top-tier professional schools. Speakers from established healthcare organizations, emerging companies, and investment firms will present informed views on how to improve health outcomes and the "value proposition" leading to more cost-effective patient care. This year we have three prominent keynote speakers and six diverse panels:
The Conference concludes with a networking reception and career fair with our prominent sponsors -- leading healthcare employers, investors and client service firms that promote healthcare business education and research.
On behalf of Columbia Business School's Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Management (HPM) Program and student-run Healthcare Industry Association (HCIA) we welcome you to this year's exciting event! For information on the HPM Program and HCIA, please visit our websites.
Columbia Business School is a leader in healthcare business education providing students with a real world understanding of the increasingly complex global healthcare industry. Developed by senior industry executives, this area of study is integrated into the School's full-time MBA program and offers innovative and insightful healthcare courses, learning and networking opportunities with industry leaders, experiential learning opportunities, and career development and planning. The Program emphasizes critical thinking and encourages the development of new approaches to address the strategic, economic, competitive, technological and sociopolitical challenges facing this important sector. The Program helps students successfully pursue careers in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices & diagnostics, healthcare services, management consulting, investment banking, equity research, venture capital, private equity, and entrepreneurship.

Last night, Fab and I were transported to the Tropics—if only mentally—at the Mara Hoffman show. While Fab chatted with the designer herself, I trotted backstage to chat with the hair and makeup teams. (Yep, that's the actual backstage area!)
While watching the models get done up, I chatted with hair stylist Sandra Yu. Her goal, she said, was to make the hair simultaneously sexy, raunchy, clean and beachy. I think she nailed it—the models' hair had lots of movement and looked natural. To get their locks shiny, Yu used Rusk weightless glossy hairspray and Rusk shine spray.
Andrea Helgadottir from MAC shared her inspiration for the makeup: glowy, very colorful, sexy, and just plain beautiful.
