EXCLUSIVE: Oprah pulls plug on second season for Lindsay Lohan's reality show - but no one has told her yet!
Lindsay Lohan's OWN network reality TV show will not be renewed, but no one's told her yet!
The OWN network honcho Oprah Winfrey, 60, has called time on the show after poor ratings.
So far only her head TV network executives know, while Lindsay has been kept guessing if she will return. The part reality show/ documentary turned into a 'meltdown' rather than a comeback series.
Scroll down for video
Out on her a**: Lindsay Lohan had a chance at a second series of her OWN reality/documentary show, but ratings were poor and she has been accused of failing to promote it properly
Gone: A source told MailOnline that Oprah grew tired of hearing about Lindsay and her private life in other media outlets
Insiders say Oprah is livid with Lindsay, 27, for her behavior on the shows and for leaks of trashy stories about the show and her rumored sex list.
Oprah also feels that Lindsay could've done more to publicize the show in the right way.
Ratings for the prime time episodes were low. The premiere attracted less than 700,000 viewers - a third less than they hoped for.
Bosses at the network originally commissioned the show for a one off run, but had given the star options for further follow ups if it was a success.
'Oprah will tell Lindsay later this month that her show won't be reappearing for in the future,' an insider divulged. 'First and foremost, the ratings were an absolute disaster. It didn't pull in the viewers that Oprah had hoped for.
Off the wagon: Reports from Coachella at the weekend claimed she has failed to stay sober. Oprah is said to be very displeased at her off-screen 'trashy' antics
'Also, Oprah grew tired of hearing about Lindsay and her private life in other media outlets. It became a little worrying when stories about her private life appeared in magazines, while Lindsay never talked about anything like that on the show.
'Leaked stories from those around her also generated what many felt was trashy publicity, which didn't really improve her image or send out a message that her star was on the rise.
'A story about Lindsay's supposed sex list story left many with a bad feelings too. Lindsay did very little publicity for the show either. Oprah kind of expected that, but it would've been nice if Lindsay went some chat shows to talk about the reality show.
'Oprah has cut her losses and said there will be no second season for Lindsay.'
The source continued: 'OWN saw the Lindsay show as a possible long term hit series. And Oprah was hoping that it would chart her time from coming out of rehab to making it back into the A list movie ranks.
'In reality the series has simply showed that Lindsay is a long way from returning to Hollywood. And her attitude towards the advice and help Oprah gave her seemed to be ignored in the main.
'On paper this show had huge potential, but in practice it has been a poor show.'
This weekend Lindsay Lohan went out partying at the Coachella Music festival.
'Far from Hollywood': OWN had hoped that they could follow the transformation of Lindsay back to stardom. But these days she has to accept cameos, like above in CBS' 2 Broke Girls
Oprah didn't send out any of her camera crews to follow Lindsay's antics. Had they gone, they may have scored some interesting footage.
Reports say that 'sober' Lindsay started drinking again during her partying after the music shows.
The one time Disney Starlet now faces an uncertain future.
She has not attracted a leading role in a major successful movie for almost a decade.
Instead, she has been forced to take less high profile jobs. Most recently, she has taken on a cameo as a difficult bride in the hit CBS series, 2 Broke Girls.
And critics have been harsh on comeback performances in Liz And Dick and The Canyons.
Spokesmen for Lindsay Lohan and Oprah Winfrey's OWN network refused to comment.

Lady Comets 0-2 after close OT loss to William Campbell
SoVaNow.com / December 09, 2013After a tough opening night loss to Person County last Tuesday, the Halifax County High School varsity girls' basketball team lost by two points in overtime to William Campbell, 58-56.
The Comets are 0-2, after a 46-44 loss to the Rockets in the season opener. HCHS is struggling at the free throw line. The Comets missed 18 free throws Friday night in the loss to William Campbell, and also missed 15 in Tuesday's narrow loss.
Halifax County is working on the problem with extensive practice. Murray understands the Comets will get fouled repeatedly if they can't make key late free throws down the stretch.
Halifax is also struggling with turnover issues. Murray hopes to cut down on these problems.
The new coach is also trying to a solid rotation in place, as the early games are proving to be a lab where the Comets can get better.
Janiyah Logan and the rest of the starting five are playing well, but the Comets need more solid production out of the bench. The Comets start district play with Martinsville Tuesday, part of a busy week for HCHS. The Comets are supposed to play four games in six days, including district action with Franklin County Thursday, but Murray is trying to the schedule lightened up a bit.
HCHS is scheduled to play again tonight, with William Campbell coming here.
Logan has been the top scorer both nights. She had 14 against William Campbell, and Lakia Martin added 14 as well.
In earlier action against the Rockets, HCHS made a gutsy rally to tie the game.
Halifax was down nine with four minutes to play. HCHS tied the score at 42 all, after Lexie Tucker drained a three to force the tie.
"We played from behind ... and the girls never quit. Lexie Tucker and (Logan) carried the team offensively. Ashley Hill, Brittany Boxley and Lakia Martin led our defensive push from the second quarter on," said Murray.
"We do need to work harder at moving without the ball and driving the lanes on offense. We must do a better job rebounding the ball and we must do a better job at the free throw line ...," said Murray.
Nevertheless, he said the Comets have not been quitters, adding HCHS needs improvement in small areas to be a successful squad.

Fantasy Football: Week 4 WR Rankings & Daily League Plays
Fantasy Football: Week Four Wide Receiver Rankings & Daily League Plays
by Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad)
Daily League WR Value Plays:
- Ravens WR Torrey Smith ($5,700, 11.4% of your cap at Draft Kings - Play Now)- We all saw what Stephen Hill, Santonio Holmes, and the Jets did to the Bills last week.
- Dolphins WR Brian Hartline ($7,250, 7.3% of your cap at Draft Day - Play Now)- Hartline has as many touchdowns as he did over the past two seasons (two), and is always a threat to rack up some points in PPR formats.
- Lions WR Ryan Broyles ($3,600, 7.2% of your cap at Draft Kings - Play Now )- This recommendation may be a week early as we are uncertain how much of a role Broyles will factor into the Lions offense this week against a tough matchup in the Bears, but the upside is there now with Nate Burleson out with a broken arm. Or you could consider Cowboys' wide out Terrance Williams (6% of your cap) with the news that Miles Austin will miss Sunday's game against one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. The Chargers have allowed the most passing yards and second most Net Passing Yards/Attempt.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 6–7–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
'Right man for the job'
Business partner says Miller never backs down from a challenge
Wade Miller's drive to excel is not a complicated matter according to his business partner of the last 11 years.
"Wade is very special in his passion for things," said Dale Driedger, who with the new acting CEO of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, co-founded Pinnacle, a staffing solutions and recruitment firm, in 2002. "When Wade has a passion for something, then he performs at a very high level.
"He's always up for the challenge; never backs down from a challenge. It motivates him. The bigger the challenge, the better."
Blue and Gold fans will like to hear that, given that Miller assumes control of the club with the 1-5 record six games into the CFL season.
The 11-season veteran of the Bombers, Miller was twice a CFL East Division all-star, holds a league record for special-team tackles and was inducted into the team's hall of fame in 2011.
Four years before he retired in 2006, he began his venture with Driedger, combining a player career with an emerging business career.
Driedger, also Pinnacle's president, was glowing in his assessment of Miller's business talents.
"That's the work ethic and passion he has," Driedger said. "He was committed to football, committed to us starting this business and he's tenacious.
"People have seen him on the field and that's what he's like in business, too. He has evolved into a senior executive-level business person here.
"He's always one to be educating himself. He's been working just as tenaciously on working and educating himself on all facets of the business we're in and everything to make us grow because he's a great visionary thinker. He takes knowledge, he can think ahead and not only have the vision but then things happen.
"I think we've proven that at Pinnacle. We started from nothing. Wade started his football career from nothing, too. He's always applied things in life for his success.
"He's the man for the job. He will be successful. They've got the right man for the job, my opinion."
Miller was interviewed and was one of the runners-up for the Bombers' position in 2010, the president-CEO post that eventually went to Garth Buchko.
Friday, when the team turned to him, Miller's plain-spoken, no-nonsense approach hadn't changed.
He had the unpleasant first task of dismissing GM Joe Mack and he put no sugar-coating on what's been happening with the team.
"A GM has a responsibility to win football games," Miller said. "Let's call a spade a spade, under Joe Mack the record speaks for itself.
"The standing pat is gone. It's time for action. And yes, I'm going to focus on football first, to bring back the history and winning attitude we used to have because that's what our fans not only expect but deserve."
Miller said directly he was "going to make things right on the field...." The 40-year-old, also the founder of Elite Sports Injury and Elite Performance and co-owner of two Booster Juice franchises in the city, was questioned about his qualifications for the new job.
"I have the football experience," Miller said. "I have the business experience. And I'm also going to bring the passion. That's all I need."
He was asked about his management style.
"Sure, it's about empowering, it's about serving and helping everybody that reports, about being a leader and setting the direction and vision and having a systematic approach to everything that we do," Miller replied. "I'm able to sit here today because I have amazing business partners and amazing staff and amazing organizations we've built together."
Miller was unequivocal in his belief he has the full authority, no "permissions" required, to make changes to the team as he sees fit.
"If I had any doubt in that, I wouldn't be sitting here today," he said. "It is 100 per cent without any question, I know it is that way."
While he'll be choosing the team's new GM, Miller said he'll first turn his attention to the football side with current assistant GM Kyle Walters and head coach Tim Burke, effectively endorsing Burke in his coaching role.
"I want to take a step back and sit down and review that," Miller said. "There are a lot of things that go into winning football games. You don't need to be the most talented team on the field. But we want to take a look at everything we're doing and see what we can do to be in the best situation to win this week.
"I'm going to work with Kyle and coach Burke and we're going to figure out what we need to do to start moving the yardsticks and start winning."
Miller insisted he's ready to do the "heavy lifting" that's required to fix the Bombers.
"In accepting the challenge in this leadership role, I look at the amazing new Investors Group Field knowing the finest facility in the country can't protect our fans from the disappointment of what is happening on the field," he said. "To our fans, I want you to know that I am committed to the heavy lifting required to put us on a new path and effect the kind of change that will lead us into a new direction. These aren't empty words.
"I'm not afraid to prove myself and let my results speak for myself."

North Korea threatens war with South over UN sanctions
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea threatened to attack rival South Korea if Seoul joined a new round of tightened U.N. sanctions, as Washington unveiled more of its own economic restrictions following Pyongyang's rocket launch last month.
In a third straight day of fiery rhetoric, the North directed its verbal onslaught at its neighbour on Friday, saying: "'Sanctions' mean a war and a declaration of war against us."
The reclusive North this week declared a boycott of all dialogue aimed at ending its nuclear programme and vowed to conduct more rocket and nuclear tests after the U.N. Security Council censured it for a December long-range missile launch.
"If the puppet group of traitors takes a direct part in the U.N. 'sanctions,' the DPRK will take strong physical counter-measures against it," the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said, referring to the South.
The committee is the North's front for dealings with the South. The North's official name is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Speaking in Beijing, U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Policy Glyn Davies said he found North Korea's rhetoric "troubling and counterproductive," and that he and his Chinese counterparts had agreed a new nuclear test would be harmful.
"We will judge North Korea by its actions, not its words. These types of inflammatory statements by North Korea do nothing to contribute to peace and stability on the peninsula," he said.
"What North Korea has done through its actions, in particular through the launch on December 12 of a rocket in contravention of Security Council resolutions, is they have made it that much more difficult to contemplate getting back to a diplomatic process."
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland urged North Korea's young leader Kim Jong-un to choose a different path, rather than "continue to waste what little money the country has on missile technologies and things while his people go hungry."
The U.N. Security Council unanimously condemned North Korea's December rocket launch on Tuesday and expanded existing U.N. sanctions.
On Thursday, the United States slapped economic sanctions on two North Korean bank officials and a Hong Kong trading company that it accused of supporting Pyongyang's proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
The company, Leader (Hong Kong) International Trading Ltd, was separately blacklisted by the United Nations on Wednesday.
Seoul has said it will look at whether there are any further sanctions that it can implement alongside the United States, but said the focus for now is to follow Security Council resolutions.
The resolution said the council "deplores the violations" by North Korea of its previous resolutions, which banned Pyongyang from conducting further ballistic missile and nuclear tests and from importing materials and technology for those programmes. It does not impose new sanctions on Pyongyang.
The United States had wanted to punish North Korea for the rocket launch with a Security Council resolution that imposed entirely new sanctions against Pyongyang, but Beijing rejected that option. China agreed to U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang after North Korea's 2006 and 2009 nuclear tests.
Nuland declined to speculate whether the United States thinks the U.N. steps would change North Korea's behavior.
"What's been important to us is strong unity among the six-party talks countries; strong unity in the region about a positive course forward; and the fact that there will be consequences if they keep making bad choices," she said.
Long-dormant six-nation talks brought together the United States, China, Russia, Japan and the two Koreas in negotiations to try to induce Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear arms quest in exchange for economic aid and diplomatic normalization.
North Korea's rhetoric this week amounted to some of the angriest outbursts against the outside world coming under the leadership of Kim Jong-un, who took over after the death of his father Kim Jong-il in late 2011.
On Thursday, the North said it would carry out further rocket launches and a nuclear test, directing its ire at the United States, a country it called its "sworn enemy".
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the comments were worrying.
"We are very concerned with North Korea's continuing provocative behavior," he said at a Pentagon news conference.
"We are fully prepared ... to deal with any kind of provocation from the North Koreans. But I hope in the end that they determine that it is better to make a choice to become part of the international family."
North Korea is not believed to have the technology to deliver a nuclear warhead capable of hitting the continental United States, although its December launch showed it had the capacity to deliver a rocket that could travel 10,000 km (6,200 miles), potentially putting San Francisco in range, according to an intelligence assessment by South Korea.
South Korea and others who have been closely observing activities at the North's known nuclear test grounds believe Pyongyang is technically ready to go ahead with its third atomic test and awaiting the political decision of its leader.
The North's committee also declared on Friday that a landmark agreement it signed with the South in 1992 on eliminating nuclear weapons from the Korean peninsula was invalid, repeating its long-standing accusation that Seoul was colluding with Washington.
The foreign ministry of China, the North's sole remaining major diplomatic and economic benefactor, repeated its call for calm on the Korean peninsula at its daily briefing earlier on Friday.
"The current situation on the Korea peninsula is complicated and sensitive," spokesman Hong Lei said.
"We hope all relevant parties can see the big picture, maintain calm and restraint, further maintain contact and dialogue, and improve relations, while not taking actions to further complicate and escalate the situation," Hong said.
But unusually prickly comments in Chinese state media on Friday hinted at Beijing's exasperation.
"It seems that North Korea does not appreciate China's efforts," said the Global Times in an editorial, a sister publication of the official People's Daily.
"Just let North Korea be 'angry' ... China hopes for a stable peninsula, but it's not the end of the world if there's trouble there. This should be the baseline of China's position."

Ecuador's Foreign Trade Committee (COMEX) has issued a resolution which establishes new quality control measures for the importation of particular products into the country.
The resolution covers items, including cosmetics (shampoo, soap, makeup and deodorants), ceramics, perfumes, toothpaste, processed fries, meat and cereals, among others.
Compliance with these new requirements must be certified by accredited verification agencies at the country of origin. The importer has then to obtain a Certificate of Recognition from the National Institute of Standards (INEN) before the goods can be shipped.
This procedure can become cumbersome or take very long to be completed which is expected to function as a barrier for a number of items to enter the country.
These restrictions are expected to result in a reduction of imports during 2014 of some $800 million, roughly equivalent to 75% of last year's trade deficit.

NLRB decision expected next week in lockout case
Aug 27, 2011, 1:30 PM EDT
Sports Illustrated's Zach Lowe reports that the NBPA's charge of unfair labor practices and failure to negotiate in good faith has "finished investigation into (the) union's complaint." Final briefs are expected next week.
The odds of a different result than the NFL garnered are pretty small, but the effect would be devastating for the owners… for about thirty seconds before they appeal and this thing enters legal purgatory. The owners can't lose this fight, so they'd have to keep appealing, which would be costly. Then again, they've literally stopped their business, so what's a few more million on top of it?
Meanwhile, everything continues according to plan, with both sides following the same playbook legally they were expected to. And that's really been part of the issue. Both sides continue to follow the playbook line by line with no deviation. If there's going to be a season, something's going to have to deviate from the expected pattern, otherwise both sides are just charging headlong into losing the entire year.
The swiftness and decisiveness of the decision may give us some insight into how organized the Union is at this point.

Painting for Profit
Is art a good investment?
That's not surprising. Sure, the data shows that art performs well as an asset over time. But for the wealthy people expected to invest in these funds, much of the satisfaction of buying (or investing) in art is being able to hang it on your wall and show it off. Someone who is willing to commit a few hundred thousand dollars to art would probably be more likely to go buy paintings at Christie's than invest in a private equity fund that buys paintings at Christie's.
One of the great ironies of the art world is that artists rarely benefit as the value of their work appreciates over time. But one art fund is aiming to change that. Artists who join the Artist Pension Trust pool their pieces with those of other artists and then receive a stream of income down the road as the trust sells their pieces—and those of other artists. In other words, the best way to make money on art as an investment may be to give it away.

AVM Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7390 review
Packed with useful features and it's a dream to set up and manage. Only performance lets it down
Review Date: 24 Feb 2011
Reviewed By: Jonathan Bray
Price when reviewed: £175 (£210 inc VAT)
Features & Design
Value for Money
We don't often get excited by a wireless router, but when German firm AVM brought its Fritz!Box 7390 ADSL2+ router into the office for a demo, we left the room itching to try it for ourselves. This is no ordinary router; it can do everything bar get itself out of the box, plug itself in and make the tea while you relax on the sofa.
A quick perusal of the rear panel and edges hints at what's to come. There are the usual solitary DSL and four Gigabit Ethernet sockets, but also two USB sockets, two analogue phone ports and an ISDN phone socket.
This router not only connects your wireless and wired devices to the internet, but also sports VoIP features and can act as a base station for up to six DECT phones. AVM sells its own DECT handset – the Fritz!Fon MT-F – for £65 inc VAT, which adds the ability to listen to internet radio streams as well as directly manage the answer machine and telephony features on the Fritz!Box itself.
It's a clever box of tricks, but the list doesn't end there. The wireless radio is concurrent dual-band 802.11n, so you can have 2.4GHz and 5GHz devices connected simultaneously. There's channel bonding – pushing the theoretical maximum speed of the connection to 300Mbits/sec – 512MB of built-in storage, and even fax send and receive facilities. It may be primarily intended for an ADSL line, with support for up to 100Mbits/sec ADSL2+ speeds, but you can also use it for cable connections.
That list of features is pretty remarkable, and it's by no means an exhaustive description, but what's most impressive is the ease with which all these features can be accessed, tweaked and set up. The Fritz!Box's web-based management system is the most straightforward, well-organised and easily understandable we've come across in any router. We had it plumbed into our internet connection, landline and Sipgate account, with two handsets registered to the DECT base station, in less than an hour.
If you switch it into Advanced mode, a huge array of powerful features is unveiled. We particularly like the overview page, which provides quick links to all the router's core features and information about your internet connection, wireless network, analogue phone and functions at a glance.
There are live bandwidth graphs on the internet connection page and, on the page where you select which wireless channel to use, the 7390 displays not only neighbouring networks and their signal strength, but also other sources of potential interference.
If there's one weakness, it's raw wireless performance. In our file-transfer tests we found the Fritz!Box 7390 underwhelming, to put it mildly. At close range (2.5m) we achieved average speeds of 65Mbits/sec downstream of the router and 58Mbits/sec upstream over 2.4GHz, while over 5GHz we achieved 73Mbits/sec and 76Mbits/sec respectively. That's a long way short of the fastest routers we've tested, which have hit speeds of up to 122Mbits/sec downstream over 2.4GHz and 135Mbits/sec downstream over 5GHz.
In our long-range tests (40m distant with two walls in the way) it was a similar story, with average speeds of 34Mbits/sec downstream and 30Mbits/sec upstream – well short of the best we've seen – and it failed to connect at all over 5GHz. We also tested NAS speeds over the USB socket but it wasn't much better, achieving an average speed in the same tests (this time over a wired connection) of 29Mbits/sec.
That's disappointing, but not disastrous, and the sheer quality of the rest of the offering more than compensates. In particular, the channel selection tool will be of far more use than raw speed in achieving a stable, fast wireless network. The Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7390 is expensive, but for a router that does this much it's actually pretty good value.

Get the 7270
This latest router does the additional interest streaming to the DECT handsets and the spotting of noise, but the older 7270 has the three aerials which when set to three different directions gives far better wireless performance and I think these new aerials are the problem according to forums. The older model is still for sale and comes with almost the same features and I've two DECT handsets together with usb hard drive utilising all the features available and can really commend the older version

"It may be primarily intended for an ADSL line...but you can also use it for cable connections."
How exactly, please? There doesn't seem to be an ethernet WAN port on it?
By nichomach0 on 24 Feb 2011
Cable connection...
You're quite right nichomach0 - there's no specific WAN port on the 7390.
The Cable connection is in fact achieved by switching the first LAN port into WAN mode using the router's settings pages.

Careful with the Cable style connection!
If you are intending to make use of the VOIP features, beware using the Ethernet based connection. Either the VOIP provider, or the Fritz, doesn't always run smoothly when the VOIP traffic has to use all-Ethernet links.
By Steve_Cassidy on 27 Feb 2011
Wow, a router not like every other.
I've always wondered how you guys mustered the enthusiasm to review wireless routers. Like, there are only two paragraphs to write - how fast is it, and what colour is it. Everything else is just the same-old same-old again, and to be honest, who cares about the colour?
So hats off to AVM for something a bit different.
Right now I'm looking at, beside my PC, a dreary belkin wifi router, a Grandstream VoIP ATA, a Philips DECT ansaphone, and a cable modem, each with associated power brick. If AVM could just go the extra mile and make a cable version (or put in an extra ethernet port or two - what's with the industry limit of four ports?) then I'm a customer.
The ADSL thing is a shame, after all its we cable subscribers, free from the tyranny of a landline rental, who are the most likely VoIP takers. I don't get why cable modem users have to loose a scarce ethernet port - for the want of a dedicated ethernet socket to bypass the ADSL circuit.
Maybe you could also review the cable equivalent - Fritz!box 6360. And do a companion interview with Virgin Media to appraise then of the wisdom of letting their customers connect it to the Virgin network...
By martindaler on 28 Feb 2011
try reading further up the page martindaler...
Jon tells you exactly why/how this IS in fact a cable router as well as an ADSL box....
By mrgwhite on 2 Mar 2011
try taking your own advice mrgwhite...
as Jon points out, if you read his post, you sacrifice one of the precious few LAN ethernet ports if you want to configure the device for cable modem use. Which is exactly what I mentioned in my own post, if you try reading that far down the page.
By martindaler on 4 Mar 2011
Advice please......
I am thinking of purchasing one of these - but also noting comments above about 7270 - so would be grateful for advice on some issues.
1: if I connect a DECT-GAP Siemens phone to this box will I be able to access the answerphone functions or will I need a FON phone?
2: can a connected DECT-GAP contact to a VOIP service via the router. I assume that an IQ capable phone is for WLAN connection outwith the DECT
3: has anyone got experience of connecting a Blackberry Bold 9700 to wifi BIS on these types of router? I currently have a Netgear DGN1000 on loan and I can only get a wifi connection without access to BIS. Conversely, whilst a Netgear DGN3300 also on loan gave me full BIS connectivity on a 'G' band but the router had to be returned because of frequent disconnects from the internet.
4. How stable as these routers; ie, are they good at remaining in sync?
Many thanks.

Amazing all in one router and DECT hub
This is an amazing router that does sterling service connected to BT Infinity, either through the Cable Modem or through the VDSL modem which is built in to the router (along with a ADSL modem). I have used it to replace a BT HomeHub, Openreach cable modem and Siemens DECT base station. Contrary to the review I haven't found wireless performance to be poor, in fact it's an improvement over the Home Hub and an Apple Time Capsule I also own.
I have also set it up with 5 DECT Handsets (Siemens SL78H) which can access the built in answer phone. I also have the iPhone app to use it as an additional handset.
The best part about the 7390 is its stability, it almost never needs a reset (I think I have done it once and that was as a result of my playing with the VDSL settings).
To answer 1, 2 and 4 of HenGus' questions, I would say yes. I'm afraid I have no idea about 3.
To add my tuppence to the "debate" between mrgwhite and martindaler, they are both right and wrong. There is only a need to lose an ethernet port if you use the device with a cable modem, which you don't have to do as it has one built in.
All in all, a very good purchase.
By sgoldswo on 11 Sep 2011
Bad quality
Beware, I bought both the Fritz!Box 7390 and the FritzFON.
The audio quality of the FON was so bad that I had to send it back (with much difficulty in being refunded, finally was thanks to Visa's help).
The Fritz!Box in itself works fine for the VDSL (though I had to wait for a firmware update first). The phone number recognition stopped working pretty soon though, and the call list gets polluted with fake numbers, which makes the phone functionality (filter, DECT, ...) pretty much useless.
I would avoid buying from this brand yet, it's just not mature enough quality-wise.
By noahfb on 5 Nov 2011
Don't buy this !
Very bad hardware compared to linksys.
1. Very unstable DSL connection
2. FritzFon MT-F has permanent noise and you can't get rid of that
Don't waste your money with this !
It just looks very good on screenshot and in theory, practically, it is a nightmare.
By FritzBoxFonCustomer on 13 Nov 2011
Don't buy this ! #2
I tried all the different parameter for the DSL connection from "stable" to "fastest", updated everything to latest firmware, call the P&T, they came to my place, replace the plug with their own and told me that was fixed and I had to pay because they've modified my plug.
The result was the same, I had to put back myself the plug and finally exceeded, put back my wrt350n an linksys modem to get the stability of before (and honestly that wasn't the best I ever had, but compared to avm fritzbox, it is very good)
By FritzBoxFonCustomer on 13 Nov 2011
Lots of ports?
There aren't many SOHOs which need more than 4 ports in one place.
If you need more than 4, just cascade to a bigger switch, or distribute using powerline networking (this will keep SWMBO happier than running cables around the place anyway...)

PC World Google gaffe: This is what happened when you searched for the 'computer superstore' online
Dixons Retail PR team chief tweeted 'we're on it'
Adam Withnall
Adam Withnall writes for http://independent.co.uk
Tuesday 04 March 2014
In the modern world of online retail and internet marketing, having a helpful and efficient first page of results for Google searches of your company is more important than ever before.
This extraordinary gaffe when you search for PC World, then, is unlikely to be around for long.
As you would expect, a search for PC World on Google comes up with links to the retailer's home page, a map showing nearby branches, a snippet of information taken from Wikipedia and an "official" logo.
Except, that is, until you look a bit closer.
Underneath the company logo on the right, instead of saying (as it used to) "The Computer Superstore", there appear the words "Like hell, but with worse customer service".
Google seems to have taken the alternative logo from a 2008 article about rumoured job cuts in the company's servicing and repair division.
It is only a matter of time before the PC World PR team are able to get in touch with Google to rectify this particular situation – but it seems fair to say they do have something history in terms of customer service.
All the results you would expect for a PC World Google search - except - what's that under the logo? In 2010, a Which? Retail survey placed Currys 95th, PC World 97th and Currys Digital (the Dixons rebrand) joint bottom out of 100 companies for customer satisfaction. In 2009, the retailer was voted among the "worst places" to buy a computer on the high street.
Responding to comments on Twitter about the current state of its Google-search-provided logo, Mark Webb, head of corporate social media for PC World owners Dixons Retail, said: "We're on it."
Mr Webb added that the team had been "kept on their toes" by the "joys of social media", and said: "Hey ho. Customer satisfaction levels rising rapidly across the board, but we have some past reputation to deal with."

NCF On The Trail: Georgia Bulldogs
Best of the visits: SEC
The No. 2-ranked inside linebacker in the country, Roquan Smith, visited South Carolina for its 38-35 victory over Georgia. The Under Armour All-American tweeted out a picture of his family in Williams-Brice Stadium. Georgia is one of Smith's favorite schools, while South Carolina has fallen behind. A big win against the Bulldogs could have given the Gamecocks a boost.

SEC's top recruiting visits
There are much better games on tap this weekend in the SEC than last. Without question the top game this weekend happens on Saturday when the Georgia Bulldogs head to Columbia, South Carolina to take on the Gamecocks. There will be many recruits taking unofficial visits and even a few taking a few official visits. Here is a closer look at some top expected visitors.
Georgia at South Carolina
With 27 verbal commits South Carolina is pretty much full for its 2015 class except for maybe a few remaining spots. One big unofficial visitor this weekend will be Roquan Smith, the No. 2-ranked outside linebacker in the ESPN 300. Georgia is one of his top teams, so he could just be going to see the Bulldogs, but any chance a school gets to have a top recruit on campus, there is always a possibility he could be impressed by what he sees. With their 2015 class almost full, South Carolina will turn to their 2016 class. Three junior prospects, all ranked in the top 50 of the ESPN Junior 300, are expected to be in attendance. The trio consists of quarterback Brandon McIlwain, tight end Isaac Nauta and athlete Mecole Hardman.

Can Georgia finish No. 1?
There is not a program in the country that enjoyed a more fruitful July and August on the recruiting trail than the Bulldogs. With the efforts and momentum created with the hire of Jeremy Pruitt as defensive coordinator, along with the work of the entire staff with an increased presence on social media, Georgia is positioned nicely to make a run for No. 1.
Should the Bulldogs go into Columbia, South Carolina, and beat South Carolina, a 10-win regular season looks like a strong possibility, as well as a huge leg up in getting to the SEC championship game.

ESPN 300 No. 149 Nyheim Hines will announce his Top 7 at 7 ET tonight. While he's not technically cutting schools from consideration, programs that don't make the Top 7 are essentially out of contention at this point. Among those that are near locks to make the seven are NC State and Duke with North Carolina, West Virginia and Ohio State also good bets. Also in serious contention are Vanderbilt, Georgia, Florida, Virginia Tech and Virginia. The major factor in the speedster's recruitment is his twin sister, Nyah. Nyah has been offered by NC State as a hurdler. Duke was considered the favorite last spring, but things are certainly pointing to the Wolfpack as the current team to beat with the track offer resting with Nyah.

Texas A&M catches the attention of top recruits
Even though Texas A&M has put together a tremendous recruiting class this year, many expected it to be a down year on the field for the Aggies. After all A&M lost three first-round draft picks including Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel. Much to the delight of the Aggie faithful, Texas A&M dominated SEC East opponent South Carolina last Thursday evening.

Recruiting changing in up-tempo era
With fast-paced offenses such as Auburn, Missouri, Ole Miss and Texas A&M having much success over the last few years, it's forcing defenses to change their philosophy on who they recruit to defend against these spread attacks.
The 6-foot-3, 245-pound middle linebackers are dwindling and replacing them are hybrid linebackers that can rush the passer and run sideline-to-sideline. There are 23 outside linebackers committed to SEC schools currently, all but one, Darrell Williams, weigh less than 220 pounds. There are only four inside linebackers committed to SEC schools.

Which top schools play freshmen most?
"Now it's 'I want to play,' " Addazio, 55, said. "If you're talking about not playing them early, the majority are like 'What do you mean?'"
So, the ability to play or possibly even start as a true freshman has become a regular sales pitch for coaches from the Power Five to the Group of Five. It's certainly a tool in the belt for Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher. Last week, Fisher alluded to the number of freshmen All-Americans he's coached the last four seasons. Twenty-four hours later, it was on the program's official recruiting Twitter page.
"The last [four] years we've had 14 freshmen All-Americans," said Fisher, condensing multiple outlets' freshmen award teams into one, concise Florida State propaganda poster. "If you come in ready to play, we're willing to put you on the field. It's critical for guys to come in saying 'When I'm the best, I'll play.'"
Fisher has the goods to back up his claims, even if the numbers are obviously skewed to best represent his program. But how does his résumé compare to those coaching some of the country's other top programs?
I tried to come up with a way to accurately discern which schools play the most freshmen and decided true freshmen letterwinners was the simplest and most effective way to crunch the numbers. To earn a letter, a player has to actually play consistently through the season. The disclaimer is each program can use different benchmarks when awarding letters, but there is never going to be a perfect way.
I began with Florida State's, looking back at the 2011-2013 classes. To properly quantify the data from Florida State, I decided I'd look at the five schools ranked highest in the preseason polls that have had its coach in place at least five seasons. Oregon's Mark Helfrich was offered an exemption because he was promoted from within and is in his sixth season with the Ducks. Coaches in place at least five years was the stipulation since an incoming coach might be susceptible to playing the prospects he recruited or having a number of transfers that could open up starting or rotational spots.
The criteria: Each class was looked at and the total number of signees was pared down to just those who enrolled as members of the football team in the fall. Junior college signees were excluded, as were any recruits who were academically or medically disqualified before playing a game. That explains why the total number of freshmen for our purposes might look different than what might be seen on RecruitingNation. Any true freshmen who spent a year at a post-graduate or prep school was also excluded. Redshirt freshmen were disqualified, too.
Bottom line is if the player was not a part of the football team the fall following his high school graduation, he was excluded.
Nearly all of the data was collected after poring through media guides and archives, although the communications departments at some of the schools were also helpful providing numbers and deserve recognition.
So, here is the actual data:
It is hardly a coincidence that Fisher and Alabama's Nick Saban, who mentored Fisher at LSU, have identical percentages of true freshmen earning a letter. Fisher and Saban arguably have been the two best recruiters over the last few cycles, and, the data shows those two are not going to keep young talent off the field simply because of age. Nearly half of the true freshmen at Alabama and Florida State lettered over the last three seasons.
Mark Dantonio has built Michigan State into a national title contender in a different manor, relying on experience. Only 12 percent of true freshmen lettered over the last three seasons. Recruiting to Michigan State is not the easy task it is at some other top-10 programs, and the Spartans are not recruiting as many ESPN 300-level players as the likes of Alabama and Florida State.
It should be noted Michigan State, Oklahoma and Oregon don't have quite the recruiting base Alabama and Florida State do.
Inquiring minds want to see how that 45 percent stacks up to some of the other top programs in the country, so even though they did not fit the criteria I looked at a few other schools with coaches in place at least five seasons and lately in the top half of the rankings. LSU was worth a look considering it's Les Miles' 10th season in Baton Rouge and, like Fisher and Saban, has recruited exceptionally well for a long period of time. Mark Richt is in his 14th season at Georgia and, like Miles, usually has a highly-regarded recruiting class. Steve Spurrier is in his 10th season at South Carolina and has steadily improved the Gamecocks' class to the point that the 2015 class is No. 5 nationally. Dabo Swinney has turned Clemson from a perennial disappointment into a two-time BCS bowl participant. And Ohio State and Texas A&M, mainly because it's worth seeing how third-year Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer fares considering he frequently voices his preference to avoid redshirting. Kevin Sumlin is also in the process of trying to build an SEC power that can compete with Alabama and LSU in the SEC West.
For the Buckeyes, out of the 69 true freshmen to land in Columbus, Ohio, from 2011-2013, 31 lettered -- the same 45 percent. Looking at just Meyer's two seasons, however, he is decimals ahead of Fisher and Saban at 46 percent (21 out of 46), thanks in large part to 14 freshmen letterwinners in his first season.
Georgia's Mark Richt has a percentage of nearly 50 percent, but the Bulldogs' numbers might be the most skewed. Along with South Carolina, the Bulldogs had several recruits that either did not qualify or spent time at a prep school or junior college. Also, Georgia's long list of dismissals and transfers is well documented, and all of the departures has opened up spots for freshmen to earn immediate playing time.
It is Miles, though, who plays a higher percentage of freshmen than all of the others. Twelve true freshmen lettered for LSU in both 2012 and 2013, and another nine earned a letter in 2011. There were a total of 65 applicable freshmen to enter LSU during that span and 33 of them lettered. That's a percentage of 51 percent.
Certainly the numbers will fluctuate year to year, and coaches at every single program are playing freshmen more frequently than ever before. When taking into account the timeline is over three years, LSU averages just one more freshman letterwinner per season than Alabama and Florida State. For our intents and purposes, though, the data shows which top programs consistently play the most freshmen in this new era of freshmen phenoms.
And, uh, FYI, Alabama has 19 ESPN 300 players prepping for their freshmen season this fall. LSU has 16, and Florida State isn't far off with 13 of their own.
