Verizon finally shows off Windows Phone 8 with new tagline
Perhaps it shouldn't be "odd" to see Verizon promoting Windows Phone, after all, the powerhouse US carrier is planning on selling not one, but three Windows Phones this year: Lumia 822, HTC 8X and the unspecified Samsung Odyssey (expected to have a 4" S-AMOLED display, WVGA resolution, and a 5MP camera)
Still, you know things are changing when you see a nice ad right on Verizon Wireless's front page with the line "Introducing The new Windows Phone. So advanced, it's actually simple."
We dig that tag line. And we're glad to see Verizon onboard with Windows Phone. Thanks, Andrew K., for the tip!

Then who will sell the Samsung Ativ S? Since the Odyssey is the medium end WP.
jc98081175 says:
I think that is going to T-Mobile and AT&T if it sells good im sure VZW will pick it up also.
Odd-i-See says:
I hope T-Mo picks up the Ativ S. I read somewhere that Samsung wasn't releasing anything in the US until next year. I hope that isn't the case, cuz I want this to be my next phone.
tomyang says:
I think windows 8 is much better performance than Windows 7, and i expect this website can offer us the beatiful lumia 920 accessories: http://www.etradesupply.com
danzinho16 says:
Idk if I'm right, but I read somewhere, that the Ativ is exclusive to Verizon.
Odd-i-See says:
I just hope it comes to T-Mo, and I also hope it is not exclusive to one provider.
danzinho16 says:
Or T-Mobile ..
MadDogFL62 says:
MJF has confirmed the ATIV Odyessy for Verizon December 2012.
No confirmation from Sammy or VZW as to what it will pack. i.e. How it will compare to the ATIV S.
Typically TechRadar is pretty good with thier Windows Phone scoop. Hopefully WP Central or TechRadar come up with more information about this VZW ATIV.
WP Central formus are also buzzing about a big Black Friday promotion for WP8 at Verizon and, of course, the Nokia 922 rumors are still buzzin' hard too.
MadDogFL62 says:
Just like the FCC passing the ATIV Odyssey today? Let me rephrase "confirmed" and use the phrase "published story".
No scoop about the ATIV announcement and now no article about the FCC passing the ATIV? Where's the love, Danny?
independentvolume says:
The odyssey is a version of the Ativ s from what I hear. There is another Sammy coming to Verizon that's pre paid but it's definitely not the Odyssey.
independentvolume says:
Are you 100% positive? My source has batted 100% on Verizon wp8 news thus far. After the wireless charging for the 8x I have total faith that he's steering me straight.
TRICSIO says:
VZW will be getting the Samsung ATIV Oddyssey - Coming in December
Judge_Daniel says:
I'll take it!
jc98081175 says:
I love how it seems that everyone either already has the new windows line up or at least they are advertising it. But At&t the so called premiere partner doesn't have squat once again they have dropped the ball but hey if you look on their website you can get an crap phone 5 or pre order a Samsung note 2 not even a word about new windows what a joke. Worst marketing scheme ever at&t really hire someone with some competence.
samyaras says:
+1. For all this wait, ATT better have a surprise, when releasing or at least carry enough devices, so I can freaking get one!
MaulerX says:
AT&T is really pissing me off right now. It's freaking November 2'nd for crying out loud. Give us something already!
WP7WasMyIdea says:
That 8x!!!
barbogano says:
While I agree that AT&T has definitely dropped the ball as far as announcements and timing go, they have had a landing page similar to this up for several days:
Still lacking important details (dates, pricing, etc.) though
Quin 2013 says:
How did this turn into a ATT post?!
The better question would be; when is Verizon going to step up and play ball and finally get N922?!
TaliZora says:
All those people who went to ATT for the L900 feel that they are entitled to having the best of anything WP so they bring it up in every topic that ATT this or that. As if there aren't enough places on this site to discuss ATT and their WP lineup.
Verizon really is the best network (at least for me, yes I understand not everybody is the same) and it's great that they are getting some solid WP devices.
The one thing that bugs me about this site is most people think that Nokia is god and any other phone is sub-par. "Verizon going to step up and get the N922"???? What's wrong with the 8X? The phone is amazing. Yes, the latest gen of WP7 devices the N900 was the best but this 8X looks pretty fantastic for a first gen WP8 device! I honestly would rather have it than the N922.
karelj says:
Cool story.
fwaits says:
Some of us like the Lumia 920 over the 8X for any number of reasons such as
Wider screen ratio
Larger screen
60Hz screen with super sensitive display (gloves and such)
Camera with OIS
32GB Storage
Wireless Charging
Hardware design/colors
The 8X is a damn nice phone, but that doesn't mean others can't want something else. I don't get why there are so many people that are trying to hate on any of the OEMs. Like what you want, and buy what you want without bashing other products, especially in the same family (Windows Phone).
Sifilone says:
"The 8X is a damn nice phone". True, i had it in my hands recently, and i had the 920 too. Pros and cons for both of course. The 8x feels just right in your hands, is lightweight, the camera is pretty decent (it's a phone not a DSLR), the screen is the same gorilla glass as the lumia. The 920 has a bigger screen, bigger battery better camera stabilization... but is heavy! damn heavy. But... but it has the exclusive Nokia apps that i think will make the difference for me. Drive, Music, Transport, City Lens they are all great and i actually use them on my 800. Damn it, i'm confused... :)
What would you do?
Odog4ever says:
Maybe I did the math wrong but isn't the 8x about a .25lb and the 920 around .5lb?
I feel like if I'm going to get fatigued holding .5lb then I need to go to the gym or see a doctor...
Anyway I chose the 920 for the reasons you listed above but I was opining for the 8X for a while. Good to have multiple top-notch options!
fwaits says:
The Lumia is 6.5 oz. (.4 lb) so quite a bit less than 1/2 lb. Agree with what you said basically. 95% of the people saying it's heavy are speaking relatively and/or without even ever having held it yet. I personally think some phones are getting so light that they are too easy to drop or feel like they aren't well made.
sixty8poncho says:
Yes, your math is wrong. 920 about 0.4 lb. Seems to me this would indicate a more solid, tougher product, which I would rather have.
myrandex says:
I'll never consider a cdma network the best network :/
MadDogFL62 says:
I never considered a Windows Phone with no SD card slot, short battery life, no gyroscope and marginal rear camera a "damn nice phone" either.
Patience Grasshopper. VZW will have better phones out than the 822 and 8X in less time than it will take for you to get your first 8X monthly bill.
WP95 says:
Maddog,you must think everyone has the same opinion as you. First off I don't know how you know if the 8x has a short battery life.
second, I've been sporting the htc trophy for the past 18 months and I'm due for an upgrade. The trophy does not have a gyroscope nor a sd card slot. And I still think it is a "damn nice phone"
everyone has a different point of view with their smartphones. Some people may agree with you but I certainly don't. I would love to get the 920 it has a ton of new features, maybe more then the 8x but that doesn't mean it's a much nicer phone then the 8x.
I would also like to know when these better phones will be out as well and who from. Since you seem to have all the answers.
MadDogFL62 says:
WP95 - Not trying to hurt your feelings. Just out here running another search on "gyroscope" and I am still seeing what HTC refuses to talk about - no gyro for the 8X. Sad.
WHAT WAS confirmed today (and WP Central missed) was that the Samsung ATIV Odyssey was passed by the FCC. A good sign that this may be coming to Verizon shortly (December).
The VZW ATIV has a gyroscope and other anticipated desired features like a large replaceable battery, SD card slot and more. May be worth staying out of the Verizon store until next month?
christosays says:
I'm actually getting the Lumia 822 over the 8X. The 822 might be the "inferior" phone but it isn't by much. Compared to my HTC Trophy, there's no competition.
1) The L822 will have Nokia's clear black screen and the super sensitive display. Check.
2) The camera will have an f/2.2 aperture. Check. They don't state what kind of sensor it is, so I'm going to assume it won't be BSI, but still, f/2.2 is not bad compared to f/2.0. Low-light performance should be decent in theory.
3) Expandable storage. Check. I don't know about you but data caps, data caps, data caps. I'm not going to stream all my music and media and my 16GB on my Trophy runs up PDQ.
4) Nokia apps and support. Check. I've said it before, I'll say it again. HTC's apps on WP7 were near worthless. Maybe they'll step up their game with, WP8 but Nokia has done a great job at setting themselves apart and really supporting Windows Phone.
5) Snapdragon S4 CPU. Check. They all have just about the same internals so performance theoretically shouldn't be that different.
The biggest problems I see people having with the Lumia 822 is the 800x480 screen resolution and the camera tech (especially when compared to Nokia's Pureview). There will be some that just really dig the 8X design or really don't like the Lumia 822's design and that's a fair point as well. But the more I thought about it, the more I became sure the Lumia 822 was the phone for me.
I can't wait for all these phones to launch though! Man, it's going to be great!
safesax2002 says:
That pretty much sums it up for me christosays
aubreyq says:
Well put. The 822 doesn't get the credit it deserves.
db4williams says:
Same here. The exclusive apps and SSTS really do it for me right now. I used to add the wireless charging to the 822 side but now that it has been revealed that the 8X gets it as well, then that made the choice if more difficult. And now the price might be an issue too since the 822 is now $149 (before rebate) vs. the 8X at $199. Decicision decisions!
Chemicals React says:
Sound enhancer was far from worthless
JohnnyBii says:
6) Gyropscope. HTC 8X doesn't have it. I say its a HUGE miss. I'm surprised there isn't more fuzz about 8X and 8S not having a gyroscope. I bet there will be a lots of disappointed HTC owners that do not realise that when they are buying. Bye bye games and some other cool apps that will use it.
As far as I can remember Nokia mentioned on launch event that 820 uses the same sensor technology as 920, just no optical image stabilation on 820.
OMG55 says:
The 8X/S would basically be the 3rd Gen for HTC. Previous units include HTC trophy, Titan I, Titan II. Ad to why Nokia is considered the front runner.
1. They introduced cutting edge design
2. Markets the device, thereby get WP into the hands of users
3. Works with/pay developers to bring popular apps to WP's ecosystem
MadDogFL62 says:
Just for curiosity... Why not Samsung, the ATIV line, and the Samsung ATIV Odyssey? Sammy seems to be a front runner to me. Here's my Samsung laundry:
- Slimmest phone out there. Very light and fits nicely in the hand.
- Best battery life of all WP8 devices and the battery is replaceable.
- SuperAMO screen with crisp resolution.
- Great front and back camera with good supporting software.
- SD card slot.
- Gyroscope.
- Great Windows Phone history with possibly the best selling WP device to date (Focus).
- Not copycats like HTC, yet smart enough to release a device with the success of the Galaxy SIII
- Samsung utilizes the Microsoft OS and OS features - Nokia may have a decent feature or 2, but they don't have the infrastructure to support hardware and software (ahem, Symbian success?)
- Samsung IS NOT watering down the WP market with a bunch of cheap, crap, handsets.
Sorry, I thought the last point to be pretty important. I would like to see as many WP8 customers out there as possible, but I would also like to see them happy and buy future WP devices. This watered down Nokia and HTC inventory scattered amongst the carriers (so the carriers won't be mad about 8X and 920 exclusives) does nothing but appease the carriers. The only benefit to the customer is in the pocketbook, not the WP experience.
hopmedic says:
What's wrong with 8X? Nothing if you want sound over the camera and are happy with half the storage. But some of us want the camera as our highest priority. I want the camera, the storage, and the apps.
druger81 says:
I hope I can get the 8X soon. I'm ready for a new phone. Slight crack on my trophy screen. Not too bad but bad enough.
safesax2002 says:
I have a crack too. But I can't upgrade until the end of April. :( But maybe I'll have more options to pick from or at least discounted prices.
Quin 2013 says:
You are in way better luck then I am buddy.
My contract with tmo ends late December, I'll be forced to choose something less par to n920. Come April, you'll have so many options, and most likely pay a lot less then the rest of us.
val.m says:
Really nice tagline, hopefully will get people interested and finally realise that WP is so much more then just squares, as some of the people I know put it.
Some people still in deny the fact that Microsoft is actually pushing the desing and usability bar higher than before.
badboysidd says:
looks nice.. but still no multi tasking.. still too closed os. App market is better than before but stil far back frm android n apple. love the screen n camera. i sometimes feel other than samsung y suddenly every company is not give external storage card slot. i mean when it comes to buyin a cell phone ppl do want it n thus samsung is sellin many more devices than other OEM. i jus hope windows user are able to get extended memory in future devices.
casualk says:
Samsung is selling millions because they spend a lot more on advertising then the others.
And the Lumia 822 has a SD slot, and if I am not mistaking the HTC 8S also has a SD slot.
About multi-tasking even wp7.5 can do that, maybe not the way you want it to but you can multi-task on windows phones.
Sorry if it look like I am picking on you I am not, but the part about a closed OS to me that is a huge plus so we will just have to disagree on that one.
MrSean490 says:
It's an iffy sort of multitasking. My problem is Internet Explorer on WP7 isn't contained within itself, that is each page becomes a new instance or essentially app in the "multitasking" section, and thus overwrites apps that I had open before. So if I had Soundhound (just off the top of my head, bare with me) open, then went to internet explorer and went through 5 different pages and then held the back button down,Soundhound would be gone but 5 IE pages would be available. Just to clarify: This only happens if I make a new tab, otherwise IE remains as one single instance .. but I always make a new tab when clicking links so it's a problem for me
lubbalots says:
The other problem with WP "multitasking" is that you can't close any of the 8 open apps. They just automatically slide off into thin air one by one. That's just plain stupid!
winger46146#WP says:
Not sure if WP8 is different than WP7 but in WP7 you just keep hitting the back button and they will close, or if you just want to close one of the apps you hold the back button select it then hit the back button.
lubbalots says:
Its not an intuitive way of multitasking, closing of apps. But many have suggested swiping opens upwards to close but guess MS didn't take that into consideration.
OMG55 says:
I thought wpcentral had a post yesterday outlining true multitasking in wp8
eastbayrae says:
You should stick with Apple
AriesDog says:
Trollers be trollin'.
WP7WasMyIdea says:
You should take that apple out of your uh..... Nevermind.
volcane2004 says:
I would love another 4" phone besides the 8S! I would still have my original Focus if it's charging bell didn't go off every half second!
aubreyq says:
Did you try a new battery for the Focus? I swapped mine for a new one with 1800mah and it breathe new life into the Focus.
AriesDog says:
The bigger question is will Verizon salespeople bother trying to sell Windows Phone this time? The Trophy release was a disaster with their employees actively trying to steer interested customers away to iPhone or Droid.
Honestabebread says:
There will still be personal bias from the reps as usual, but Verizon does their best in their training courses to instill an attitude that it doesn't matter what the reps like, it matters what will work best for the customer. I can tell you that the marketing for Windows Phone 8 should be big enough so that customers will ask about it, which is the first step.
aubreyq says:
I was chatting with a Verizon rep at a BJ's Wholesale kiosk (kiosk only sells Verizon, btw) and told her I'm waiting for the new Windows Phones. Her reply (in a condescending tone): "Why would you want a Windows Phone?"
db4williams says:
When I bought my Trophy there wasn't one on display. I had to ask the Rep if they even had one I could look at. He acted like he couldn't even be bothered to go to the back of the store and grab the demo phone for me. I wondered if he got it out of the janitors closet cause it was really dirty and gross looking. He said no one ever bothers with the Trophy. I said of course not. How's anybody to know if you have it if it is buried in the back of your store and not on display? He just shrugged.
Honestabebread says:
This landing page has been up since the Windows Phone 8 event.
Honestabebread says:
Also, there are these pages on Verizon's site:
unstoppablekem says:
Same as the ATT page.
Lasp24 says:
they should have used another color for the htc
scolab says:
Totally agree with you, Lasp. The pictures they have posted look the same as their iPhone and Android lineup. How about animated gifs or flash showcasing the Live Tiles? Make those phone POP on the page and people will come running to buy them.
tyrok says:
I preordered the Lumia 822 at Best Buy yesterday. Can't Wait.
GoodThings2Life says:
I'm actually kind of offended by Verizon's tag line... "So advanced, it's actually simple."
Actually?! It's like the Geico Caveman commercials... Actually, as in, Windows has always been a pain in the ass, so difficult, wah wah wah, let's cry about it. And maybe I should take that to mean so advanced and so simple it's better than Droid or Apple, but that use of "actually" bugs me.
WinFan1 says:
yeah it irked me too but no one on this thread seemed to mind. "IT'S ACTUALLY SIMPLE" ?? How About a tagline that mentions the philosophy behind windows phone something like "The most personal phone you will ever own!" or "Windows phone knows what you care about most"
or even microsofts tagline
"This phone was not made for all of you, but for each of you"
idk im just being picky and think they could have been more created.
verizon certainly was with the "in a world that cant Droid Does" sigh w.e at least they are getting phones lol
unstoppablekem says:
You didn't get my tip? And ATT shows the 920, 820, and 8X on their home page.
Vheissu says:
Hey Verizon how about a F*$&$N date would that be too much to ask. It's not like you don't know it you been plannig this for months
WP7WasMyIdea says:
Microsoft's press release for vzw phones says "by Thanksgiving". Good enough for me!
zorb58 says:
I'm glad to see this. As long as carriers at least mildly get behind WP8 I think we'll see some market growth!
pizzalovinhulk says:
It should say " checkout the new windows phone we were to ignorant to maintain it now we feel at&t will jump us for number one so now we support it " DROID RAGE LOL
infamousdaveman says:
No front carrier branding on Verizon's 8x too!!! They really are making this the Windows Phone first device..i like that!!
jcagga says:
Funny how article doesn't mention lack of HTC and Verizon logo in front.
independentvolume says:
You should have learned by now that Verizon is the black sheep around here. Apparently people are upset that they didn't sell legacy devices last spring.
Shadai says:
I wish they'd get onboard with the Nokia 920

Loved our Purchase

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Home Styles Furniture Salt and Pepper Granite Kitchen Cart in Black:
Over all love this product. The conter top is amazing. We were so pleased to see the quality of the work space.[...] The only thing was there were a couple pre-assembled pieces that were not assembled correctly and we had to take them apart and put them back together correctly. It wasn't a big deal but froma quality control perspective it shoudl have been caught.
Perfect, even for a small kitchen
By Cindy
from Arkansas
Our U-shaped kitchen did not allow us to work together when preparing meals. This cart not only looks beautiful but is quite functional. We now have the room we need. Our Jack LaLanne juicer fits in the bottom of one cabinet; our knife set in the other, and our gadgets, i.e., scraper, peeler, etc., fit well in the top drawer. We are very happy with this cart!
Higher quality than expected!
By Caroline

We purchased this for our outdoor living space. It really adds a nice touch to the area. It provides a good amount of storage as well. Highly recommend this product. I feel it is a good buy.
quality better than expected!
About Me Budget Shopper
We are using this on our covered porch/outdoor living space. We were amazed at the quality of this product. (Almost don't want to use it outdoors!) It was easy to put together. It has a high-class look to it. I highly recommend this product. [...]
Excellent Purchase
By Organizer
from Bay Area
We had virtually no counter space and very limited cabinet space, and are quite pleased that this product turned out to be exactly what we had hoped it would be. It was an excellent buy for us. As frequent DIYs, we found the instructions to be straightforward and easy to follow, and the cabinet was relatively easy to assemble. However, assembly definitely was made much easier with two people and, given the number of parts/pieces, it probably is not a task to be undertaken by people who hate to follow instructions.
What a beautiful afordable product!
By easyeagle
from Sedro Woolley, WA
No disappointment here! This peice had the perfect look I wanted. It functions as an extension at the end of my kitchen counter and also serves as a buffet bar server to my dinning area which is also seen from the livingroom. I am very pleased with the quality for the price and the function that I intended it for! [...]The assembly is a bit of a job but well worth it! Click on the picture and step inside my home for a look!

I was so pleased with my cart. I have it in my dinning room and it was a perfect match to my dinning room set. [...] my husband had no problems assemblying it. I'm always skeptical of buying on line but this was everything I hoped for.

Great Product
By Steph
from Danbury, CT
This kitchen cart was exactly what I was looking for. It is solid construction. The granite on top looks great. The only thing that I wish were that the drawers were a little deeper. Not all of my kitchen tools fit. Other than that perfect!! And it came so fast. I didn't expect it for a couple more days. Great service.
Great Quality
By Amy
from Belleville, IL
This is a GREAT product! I highly recommend this for anyone looking to add more storage or workable counter area. I do wish the work space was a little larger and it does still move slightly with the wheels locked. That aside it is made of real solid wood and high quality metal drawer slides. We got the salt and pepper marble top and LOVE it. It is worth the small extra amount of money. This site also had the best price, and I shopped around! You will be happy with this kitchen cart when you buy it!

Great extension Gate
By Jodi

About Me First Time Parent

Comments about One Step Ahead 21-3/4"" Outdoor Gate Extension:
We purchased this gate and three extension parts to go across a large gate that leads to a pool. My two year old is not afraid of the water and I needed a quick safe fix that would give me peice of mind around the pool. This gate is sturdy and easy to install. You will need a drill and a little handy man intuition to install. We love this gate. The color is not great though. However, this brown color is the only color that is manufactured. I might spray paint it white, as white looks much nicer. Lastly, it has a clasp that a toddler can not open, but a parent needs two hands to undo the clasp and lift up. I do not mind it is tough to undo, better safe than sorry.

HEAD racquet rebel Novak Djokovic missed his chance for a second straight final at the Monte Carlo Masters in a 6-2, 6-2 semi-final defeat by sixth seed Fernando Verdasco. Djokovic, who sparred a year ago with Rafael Nadal for the prestige title in the Mediterranean principality, had another great start into the clay court season and wielded his YouTek Speed Pro to reach the semi final for the second time in a row.
Djokovic, who played two spring clay finals against Nadal in 2009 and owns the Dubai title this season, said he hit a bad patch at precisely the wrong time against Verdasco. But he added that after disappointing results during March on US hard courts, he's pleased with the progression of his game in the run-up to Roland Garros next month. "If I was physically feeling a little bit better on the court, I think I could have a good chance to be in the match with him."
Djokovic will take a few days off before travelling to Rome for that Masters 1000 event from April 26. The Serb stands 18-5 this season and 1-1 in ATP finals.
In the doubles competition, HEAD player Nenad Zimonjic and partner Daniel Nestor became the first double team in eight years to defend the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters title. The duo was leading 6-3, 2-0 against Bhupathi/Mirnyi when Bhupathi retired due to a leg injury.
In Barcelona, HEAD player Roberta Vinci, playing with a YouTek Extreme Pro, reached the final where she lost that WTA final 6-1, 6-1 to fellow Italian Francesca Schiavone. Among others, Vinci beat No. 2 seed Aravane Rezai on the way to the final.

Training Camp resumed Sunday night at Ray Nitschke field for the Pack but the numbers were light under the lights. Mike McCarthy gave nine veteran players an extra night off. The list included Aaron Rodgers, Charles Woodson, Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, Ryan Pickett, A.J. Hawk, Jarrett Bush, Jeff Saturday and Anthony Hargrove. John Kuhn could have joined them but after getting cleared to practice in pads for the first time this summer, was out on the field with the rest of the squad. Desmond Bishop also worked in pads for the first time. McCarthy announced Marshall Newhouse and Jennings suffered concussions in Friday night's Family Night Scrimmage. Neither was ruled out for Thursday's pre-season opener in San Diego. With Newhouse down, Herb Taylor worked at left tackle with the starting offense.
There was some feistiness to the practice with at least three scuffles breaking out. Jarius Wynn and rookie Greg Van Roten took swings at each other, Jamari Lattimore knocked the helmet off guard Don Barclay and Robert Francois and Shea Allard tangled briefly. During the goal line drill, Bishop nailed fullback Nic Cooper who dropped a swing pass but McCarthy thought the hit was a bit much, chastising Bishop and then yelling at the defensive coaches that this wasn't a live tackling period.
Every day, offensive and defensive linemen spend time on pass rushing and protection drills. They go one on one and on Sunday, number one pick Nick Perry has one of the most eye-opening reps against Bryan Bulaga. Perry got tremendous leverage on a bull rush and knocked Bulaga on his rear. Bryan rarely loses in this drilll and Perry hasn't shown much until that play, it was impressive.
McCarthy is altering his camp schedule next week. Sunday, August 12 and Monday, August 13 practices were originally set for 7:00 PM, Tuesday, August 14 at 3:30, but all three workouts are moving to 11:15 AM instead.
On the link below, post Sunday night practice quotes.

"Lennox AC"
The unit has been pretty much trouble-free except for a circuit board replacement and a bad Lennox thermostat. The pan is now leaking into the emergency pan in the attic. Why would a company make an AC with a metal pan that would rot out? We live in a world of stainless steel and plastic or fiberglass. It is stupid and gives the technician a reason to replace the whole unit, with all kinds of bs reasons. Replace the pan, it is $300 for a small pan and you can't just slide it out. Labor, at least another $300. Of all the problems that would be easy to eliminate, this pan would be at the top of the list using materials that do not rust out. This is a true sign of a poor product by a poor company. It eliminates any good feeling for the 15 years of pretty good service. Will I buy another Lennox? No way! Lennox

"Conspiracy Theory ?????"
My outside a/c unit blew exactly 1 month and 1 week after warranty expiration of 5 years. Prior to this, it has had service for two other mishaps. I am terribly disappointed in this company. Often products far outlive their warranty period - not just 5 weeks later.

My unit is a dual stage compressor unit with electric coil heat. it is still working even though the outdoor compressor unit aluminum parts around the copper tubing has corroded almost into nothing [white powder], I guess lennox ac's were built better back in 1985. over 28 years I have replaced a "compressor interlock", an "evaporator fan motor" and several "fan belts", and 2 electric heater "contactors" relays. last year the low capacity compressor stopped working, but the hi capacity still cools my home [ac runs mid may to mid oct, 93 day hi temp 82 night lo temp]. I am a diy electrical tech and do repairs myself. I am now trying to figure out what is wrong with the electrical parts. I will post later my findings. after reading all the previous review I would use trane or goodman if I replaced this lennox top of the line unit.

"2 year old Unit"
Turned the unit on this summer....no cold air. Had the company that installed the unit come in at a cost of $119 to tell me it wasn't working. They wanted $175 to test for coolant which they suspected there wasn't any. To replace the coolant, and the part (which was under warranty) they wanted $1000. This is after paying them $1500 2 years ago. I'm not putting another dime into this unit. I'm buying a Carrier. Had one for over 20 years and worked like a charm. Stay away from Lennox.....

"Lennox Air Conditioner Dissatisfication"
Replaced my old air conditioning unit with a Lennox and thought I had made a good choice. Had a 5 year warranty included but 2 years later I need a new compressor and at a labor cost of $750.00. You would expect something that expensive to last more than 2 years.

Satisfaction Rating:
"Very satisfied"
Our house was built in 1990 and once the ac is turned on in early June, we don't turn it off until late Sept, so it's been getting alot of use for 19 years. We've had 3 service calls in 19 years time to top off the freon one of which was today. The Lennox furnace was replaced after 16 years and so far we've had no problems with the furnace. We are extremely satisfied but based on the reviews I've read, I question if the newer models will last as long.

"I have a Lennox condensing unit with a Rheem Classic air exchanger"
I just had the unit installed last week, 7/27/09, the workers installed a Rheem Classic air exchanger and said it was better than the Lennox. They said the filter was better. my only concern is that at the top of the unit I saw something that did not look like heating elements. I had a Ruud before and it had heating elements that looked normal. I had it for 17 years and the start cap. was bad and I decided to replace the older unit to avoid futher problems.

"Lennox =POOR QUALITY PRODUCT"
Like many others, I moved into a newly built home that had a Lennox ac. We have had the repair guy out here at 5 times within that year and 1 month after our warranty expired he tells us we need a new coil that will cost approximately $900.00. I would never recommend Lennox to anyone.
Years owned: 7
Satisfaction Rating:
I have just received word that the compressor has failed in my 7-year- old Lennox Elite 11 unit! This unit has caused trouble ever since installation. At least 2-3 times per summer it breaks down. a/c people have told me that Lennox is not a quality unit; now I realize they are correct. I will never buy another Lennox.

"Class Action Lawsuit"
I live in Summerlin, Las Vegas, a very nice area. Every afternoon I walk the neighborhood and amazingly I hear the familiar loud sound of Lennox Ac's that were installed by the builder. At first I thought I was the only one who had had bad luck with the unit. As I talk to the other neighbors I find out that we are all in the same boat that Lennox has sailed. The house is 2 years old and we have spent days without cool air. Luckily I purchased home owner warranty when I bought the house against my wife's wish. Boy was I right. Fortunately so far the home warranty has paid for the repairs less $60.00 per visit. I am looking into interviewing lawyers regarding a class action lawsuit against Lennox.

Girls. I was sort of complaining all day yesterday that I had to trek out to Long Island's Nassau Coliseum to see the New Kids on the Block concert after work yesterday. I mean, I was excited. I was THE Joey girl 1988-1989. But I have a cold. I was seriously tired. You know. Also, I'd heard a commercial on Z100 yesterday morning that said something along the lines of "So you want to go to see Natasha Bedingfield and your mom wants to hear the New Kids on the Block."
I was all, 'scuse me? MOMS want to hear the New Kids? What MOM (a person with a child old enough to even KNOW about the New Kids) are we even talking about? I immediately felt ANCIENT and like I should have kids or something. This was a new feeling for me, let me tell you. You know that my lifestyle wouldn't mix well with kids. So that happened. THEN, my friend Lauren, with whom I was going to the concert emails me this: "I already have a headache and we haven't even gotten to the pre-teen concert yet."
So OBV, I had to inform her that this was not going to be that kind of party in the least. This concert was going to be TEEMING with 26-32 year olds. And was it ever.
So we arrive at Nassau Coliseum a trip on the LIRR and a cab ride later. And the place is CHOCK FULL (as in, all men's room signs were covered and converted to women's rooms – and the lines were STILL an hour long) of late twenties gals rocking their original NKOTB gear. Big Donnie Wahlberg pins. Authentic 1989 tour tees. Signs that said "Joey, I've been waiting for a hug for 20 years!" CRIMPED HAIR (Lauren told the crimper, "I see what you're doing and I LIKE it.") And my personal fave: one girl had a shirt that said, "Before Justin there was Joey". Can you EVEN?
THEN, they came onstage and Lauren's and my reaction couldn't have differed ONE IOTA than if we were eight years old and our parents had taken us to the concert IN 1988. It was AMAZING. When Joey and Jordan (they used to be my faves) appeared, I screamed. I got the chills. I was farklempt like Linda Richman at a Barbra concert AND I couldn't stop wringing my hands. I was a veritable MESS. Joey looked like a drop of water in the NEGEV. He's GORGE. He has the same voice. He has the same hair and phenom eyebrows despite the fact that he's no longer the 15 year-old on the cover of my Teen Beat magazine and is, in actuality, a 35 year-old DAD. Lauren and I immediately put our hair into side ponies for the occasion. You can't listen to "The Right Stuff" with your hair down, dolls. You just can't.
They played EVERYTHING. Everything from "Please Don't Go Girl" to "Step by Step" (the latter was one of the encore songs.) It was everything I thought it'd be and more. I felt like I'd taken a TIME MACHINE to a place where I only made time for daydreaming about Joey and maybe working on my fourth grade report on a national park. BT dubs, their lyrics are so syrupy-effusive… they gush about how much they LOVE this girl (whom they refer to only as "girl.") They are so unbelievable RESPECTFUL of women in these lyrics. It's hard to imagine how feminist nightmare 90s rap lyrics and even Eminem ensued. Anywho, I think that may be the reason so many phenom late twenties gals I know are single. They're still holding out for someone to tell them to "please don't go, girl."
Oh, AND. My NKOTB order back in the day was: Joey, Jordan, Donnie, Jon, Danny. But that formerly froggish Danny surely grew into his looks. He's looking GOOD, I can't lie. So much so that my new order is (because I know this info is vital): Joey, Danny, Donnie, Jon, Jordan. Poor Jon still looked as uncomfortable performing as ever. He looked like he was actually counting out the steps in his head while the rest of them were just DOING it. And I'm pretty sure Jordan's a fagella. I mean, that falsetto is still as impressive as ever… but I just don't know that that dude is entirely straight. He did a bare chested, open-white collared shirt flowing against a wind machine solo performance of his 90s hit, "Give it to you." The effect was not sexy as much as it was Celine Dion.
Oh, and then THIS MORNING, after I'd downloaded all of my former fave songs that weren't already establishing residency on my iPod along with a few of their new songs ("Summertime" is especially catchy), I was ALL PSYCHED to be able to listen to NKOTB at will, something I'd never been able to do in the 80s. I mean, I had to wait for it to come on Eagle 106 while I was on the bus with my fellow NKOTB fans/neighbors Rachel and Suzanne. But now, the world was my oyster. I could "Hang Tough" my whole subway ride to work. Wouldn't you know it – a guy friend of mine who lives in my building just HAPPENS to be walking out at the same time as I am AND he insists on taking the subway with me ALL THE WAY downtown where I work (where he also works) so I only was able to listen to ONE NKOTB song instead of the full 10-song playlist I'd so artfully crafted this morning. Blasphemy.
Anyway, this is the world's longest post. I just had to give you the low-down on the concert. I'd literally waited 20 years for it and it was everything I'd thought it be and more. And Joey is still as cute as ever. Oh Joey. "I'll be loving you forever… Just as long as you want me to BEEEEE…."
Did you go to the concert? If so, "let's get this" and comment away!

Four NFL players will be eligible to play this weekend despite having been suspended for their involvement in the New Orleans Saints' controversial "bounty" program, the league said Friday.
Their suspensions are to be reviewed by Commissioner Roger Goodell, according to the NFL. The move came shortly after a ruling by a three-member appeals panel.
"Consistent with the panel's decision, Commissioner Goodell will, as directed, make an expedited determination of the discipline imposed for violating the league's pay-for-performance/bounty rule," said league spokesman Greg Aiello.
"Until that determination is made, the four players are reinstated and eligible to play starting this weekend."
In March, the league suspended four current and former Saints players -- Jonathan Vilma, Scott Fujita, Anthony Hargrove and Will Smith -- concluding that they had leadership roles in the pay-for-injury program.
"I can't wait to see Jonathan on the field," said Vilma's attorney, Peter Ginsberg. "He's fought long and hard for a measure of justice."
Vilma tweeted: "Victory is mine!!!! -stewie griffin." Stewie Griffin is the name of a child character in the animated TV show "Family Guy" for whom "victory is mine" is a catchphrase.
Smith also tweeted Friday, saying, "Thank you to everyone involved in the process of this solution. And everyone who supported us through this whole ordeal."
Fujita said he was "overwhelmed with all the support."
"Thank you so much everyone," he tweeted. "Can't tell you how much it means to me."

This year's highly awaited BECC Summer Party got underway with a truly delicious home grown lamb barbeque and the welcoming words. The first of the activities to get underway was the pony ride for children closely followed by the rowing on the river which turned out to be a huge success and fortunately no re-enactments of the Titanic! With everyone safe and dry, the golf carts were next and once they took the style of a non-stop train across India, they set off in search of treasure and clues around the Manor. A brief pit stop enabled everyone to fill up once more on lamb, wine, beer and dessert and then we were off again, this time with a Manor tour all be it rather slower and more relaxing than before. The children were then able to be let loose around the grounds, in a more child-orientated treasure hunt of their own.
We concluded the party with a fantastic raffle and socialising too. The acoustic guitar that was greatly enjoyed by all was played by Jorma Puusaag. We hope everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and hope to see you all back next year!
We would like to thank all great sponsors who helped us with this great event: Merko Ehitus, RSA Insurance Group, ATL Group, Viru International, Bestwine and Vihula Manor Country Club.

Yellow, known for its optimism, has always been clear, bright and uplifting.
Traditionally, women wore yellow ribbons to symbolise hope as they waited for their loved ones to return from war.
Pure and bright, yellow is the easiest colour to see. Because of its high visibility, yellow is often used to issue warning within nature, found on wasps and bees to warn predators.
The colour reflects warmth whilst encouraging inspiration and expression. Yellow is used to energise whilst still being soothing and sophisticated.
Within interiors, yellow lightens and welcomes. It helps to expand any space, a perfect solution for dark hallways and small rooms. To create a soft, inviting look, start with classic creamy yellows which will bring warmth to spaces with limited light. For something more lively, experiment with stronger, mustard yellows and cool greys to create a really dynamic room.
The palette for yellows move towards more crafted shades with great warmth in their character.
Mustards are key and work beautifully on their own or combined with cooler neutrals. Warmer golds and tans bring the natural world inside to create a look of comforting and calming radiance.
In previous years, yellows showed a trend towards their true heartland. Radiant and enlightening shades with a sense of optimism and artistic expression were everywhere.
Liquid Gold yellows can be complimented by mulberry shades like Damson Dream 1 to create a strong impact. For a dynamic look, try a clean yellow like Buttercup Fool 3 with a smart neutral like Rum Caramel 3.
Coloured glass vases and unusual bottles accessorise this open plan space well by adding some rich shots of deep green and bold yellow.
The warmer side of yellow can really illuminate your room. Combine radiant shades like Lemon Pie and Pale Citrus with soft creams like Timeless to create a contemporary look. Light wooden features compliment this colour scheme perfectly by adding even more warmth.
Barley White
Pale Citrus
Striking, acidic yellows with a zesty feel create a contemporary style within any room. Strong mustard yellows can be used as an accent and work especially well with cool neutrals like grey or even with white. Try adding a subtle secondary colour like a green pastel (Willow Creek 5) which will compliment the vibrant yellow of Spring Breeze 3 beautifully.
Night Jewels 5
Spring Breeze 3
Willow Creek 5
Feel inspired to combine soft silver and gun metal grey within your accessories. From interesting vases to metallic cushions you can really add some luxury to your room.

Think of the bellies!
By Anthony Tosie,
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 4:10 PM CST
These articles are generally supposed to be about things going on around the area, but I'm going to buck that trend this week, because I have a bone to pick with Frisco.
You have too many restaurants.
Yeah, I said it: I see way too many restaurants while driving down the city's streets -- it's constantly making me hungry, even when I just ate.
I don't have that problem where I live; I'm pretty sure Frisco Square has more restaurants than my entire town.
Living in a much smaller town, I generally have to make due with fast food restaurants on occasion. If I lived in Frisco, I'm not sure I could do the same thing. There's a great restaurant on every corner it seems, like Mattito's Tex-Mex -- which is literally on the corner at Frisco Square.
It's not just like these are all the same style of restaurant, too. There's Sake Toro for sushi, Thai Green Village for Thai food, Platia Greek Kouzina for Greek food, Mariana's Taco Shop for Mexican or Kenny's Burger Joint for traditional food.
Am I leaving tons of restaurants out? Yes, but that's exactly my point.
I don't have the kind of money to be eating out at these places on a daily basis, but I do have the appetite to be eating out at these places on a daily basis. Thus my dilemma was created: how do I visit Frisco and not spend money at these restaurants every day?
Do I just close my eyes and pretend they don't exist?
Well, I don't think the Frisco police would appreciate me doing that while driving. I could always eat before driving to Frisco, but that would just make me disappointed when I see what my taste buds could have been enjoying instead.
So here's my plea to the developers of Frisco: stop building all these great restaurants! Why don't you all start building other stuff -- like, I don't know, a theme park? (And don't go making the theme food-based or anything like that.)
I don't know how all you Frisco residents do it. I'm a picky eater, but I know a good restaurant when I visit it.
There should probably be a clever ending to this column, but I'm about to drive to Frisco and my stomach is already rumbling, so I think I'll just stop writing now. If I don't, I'll just be thinking about food even more.

I watched this episode the night it aired. And fell asleep at some point during the runway show. I woke up, put the episode back on, fast-forwarded to where I left off…and then promptly fell asleep AGAIN before the judging began. Something about that endless parade of little black cocktail dresses was either incredibly soothing or perhaps simply robbed me of my will to live.
Or maybe the endless parade of designer freakouts ALL EPISODE LONG was just that tiring. Not a good showing for the remaining ladies. In case you actually depend on these recaps to fill you in on any pertinent details (that I have been skipping more and more each week because zzzzzzzzProjRun-related narcolepsyzzzzzzzz), here's how it mostly went:
TIM: Chillax, dude.
TIM: Sack up, ho.
At this point, I really am dying to ask Elena two specific questions. First, why in the world did she even bother applying to Project Runway, when EVERY. SINGLE. CHALLENGE, no matter how straightforward, is apparently beneath her or contrary to her aesthetics and principles and process and blah? None of the challenges this season have been that unusual. A version of most (if not all) of these challenges have been done almost every season already. Every week she's got a different reason why that particular challenge is impossible for her. She's too high end! Too avant garde! Too modern too edgy too hot too cold too doomed to only sell her work on an Etsy shop with Lady-Gaga-like styling. Whatever. She is exhausting and not at all fun to watch or listen to.
And that brings me to my second question: How the bloody hell is she managing to game the Fan Favorite poll and be so far out in front? She's currently at 38%? With Britta/Melissa trailing at number two with 25%? And my beloved Comrade Snape is all the way down at number SIX with just 3% of the votes? Christ, even I-Don't-Do-Feminine Dreads Girl has 5% and I STILL DON'T EVEN KNOW HER REAL NAME.
It's enough to make me actually vote for someone this season. Or at least to maybe consider voting for someone. I dunno. I'm still pretty tired.
Let's move on to the dresses. Dmitry, Sonjia and Ven all ended up in the SafeMiddle, much to Sonjia's relief and Dmitry/Ven's collective outrage. Their dresses were both fine (and probably better constructed than some of the crap that landed in the top), but both of them essentially made dresses that they've made multiple times before. Ven keeps doing that damned pleated rose thing, which was cool the first time and is now definitely getting diminishing returns. Dmitry made another tight-tight pencil dress with with subtle details at the neckline. But this time he made it in gray. Whee.
(It also looked way too much like Korto's design.)
That means our tops were:
(Click to embiggen.)
Fabio, who had immunity, in case you couldn't tell just by looking at this thing. The judging was crazy inconsistent, as usual, since they praised Fabio's standard take on the LBD while crying boredom on other versions. This is a cute little dress and I like the hem, but I HATE that clunky zipper with the heat of a million Elena Dramasuns. We see way too many big visible zippers on ProjRun but I wonder if it's mostly because every challenge is a one-day challenge? So there's just no time for details like zippers and hems and oh, I don't know, DECENT LOOKING CLOTHING?
Elena, who somehow managed to overcome All Of The Obstacles this week and design a super-futuristic trash bag dress that looks like a costume reject from 1997′s The Fifth Element.
Melissa, who also Faced Challenges And Second-Guessed Herself Before Staying True To Who She Is As A Designer, even though this dress didn't fit her model at all and kinda sorta made her look like brown bunched-up sausage. Cool neckline, though.
And Christopher NotCostello, who won. No wonder I fell asleep. (TWICE.) Like Ven, he pulled the same damn trick out of his trickbag for the millionth week in a row and shredded chiffon. This dress is fine and lovely and all, but I AM SORRY, every time I see the shredded chiffon up close I see nothing but messy fly-away threads and can only imagine how raggedy it will look like after you wear it a few times. (Here's the Lord & Taylor version, which does away with the shredding technique ANYWAY.)
With four high-scoring designs, that left us with two bottoms:
Since this was a "make a dress for a department store" challenge, Gunnar made a dress that is sold (and probably sells pretty well) at every department store in America. And was promptly eviscerated for it by the judges. It certainly isn't anything exciting or groundbreaking, but I actually liked it better than Fabio's and it fits his model better than Melissa's. After weeks of getting top 3 spots for badly-sewn garbage, it was surprising that this middle-of-the-pack design landed him in the bottom. I woulda swapped this one for Sonjia's sad little peplum (OY WITH THE PEPLUMS ALREADY) dress.
No surprise here, though I really think Alicia had some great IDEAS for this dress, but couldn't quite get them to come together. I love the idea of the dropped waist with tuxedo-like detailing, but…eh. This one is hitting at the wrong point or needs a few inches off the bottom, and the neckline is jacked. Something lower and more flapper-like might have worked?
After falling asleep the second time, I gave up on making it to the elimination and decided to try again later, once again fast-forwarding through an hour or so of meltdowns. So imagine my surprise and delight that there WAS NO ELIMINATION. Surprise! Those two designers who bailed effed with our production schedule so everybody gets a freebie. In other words, I could've just taken another nap.

Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Pneumothorax is a condition in which air or gas collects in the "pleural space" or "pleural cavity," which is the space between the lungs and the chest cavity. This can cause the lung to collapse.
Normally, the lungs sit next to the inner surface of the chest wall. Thin membranes called pleura cover both the lungs and the chest wall. A pneumothorax occurs when air either escapes the lung or leaks in through the chest wall and builds up in the pleural space between them. This build-up of air can result in the collapse of the affected lung.
There are different types of pneumothorax, and each one is defined by its cause.
Primary spontaneous pneumothorax occurs when there is no other underlying lung disease. It is often caused by the rupture of an air-filled sac in the lung, called a bleb or bulla.
Smoking is associated with a higher incidence of spontaneous pneumothorax.
Traumatic pneumothorax occurs as a result of a traumatic injury to the chest. The injury could be penetrating, such as a bullet or stab wound, or blunt, such as a blow to the chest or automobile accident. A traumatic pneumothorax can complicate other medical procedures that may be necessary following a traumatic injury.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Tension pneumothorax occurs when excessive pressure builds up around the lung and forces it to collapse. This pressure can also affect the heart's ability to pump blood. For this reason, tension pneumothorax is considered the most serious type.
If you experience any of the symptoms listed below, do not assume it is due to pneumothorax. These symptoms are often caused by other, less serious health conditions. If you experience any of them, see your physician.
Since the development of pneumothorax can be delayed in the case of traumatic pneumothorax, repeating x-rays the day after the injury may be needed.
While a small pneumothorax will usually resolve itself without intervention in a week or two, a larger pneumothorax often requires treatment. Oxygen is commonly administered.
Treatment focuses on removing the air from the pleural space so the lung can again expand to its full capacity. This can be accomplished by inserting a needle and syringe or inserting a chest tube.
Surgery to remove blebs or attach the lung permanently to the chest wall is sometimes needed to prevent recurrences.
Up to 50% of patients who experience pneumothorax have a recurrence, but there are no long-term consequences following treatment.
If you are diagnosed with pneumothorax, follow your doctor's instructions .

Australians supporting the UN Refugee Agency
Frequently asked questions about UNHCR.
Have a look at how we've made a difference over the last 10 years!
Thank you to the schools around Australia who registered and submitted entries to take part in the Australia for UNHCR and Skype real-time video cross with students in Nakivale. We are pleased to announce that the winning entry was from Killara High School, in Sydney, NSW. View their submission.
The Here & There Program teamed Killara High School with the Australian-funded high school in the Nakivale refugee settlement in Uganda. Using Skype technology, students in both countries will be able to connect their classrooms, ask each other questions and work together on a creative project to learn more about each other's lives. In a real-time video cross on 21st September 2011, Australian students talked with young refugee students from a secondary school in the Nakivale Refugee Settlement supported by Australian donors through Australia for UNHCR. They gained a unique insight into each other's lives while exploring their shared interests in areas like music and sport.
The Here & There Program aims to raise awareness among young Australians of the issues facing refugees of their own age, many of whom have spent their childhoods in refugee camps. For the students in Uganda, it is an exciting opportunity to engage with young people on the other side of the world and share their ideas and interests. The program has been designed in consultation with educators, both here and in Uganda, and aligns with the Australian secondary school curriculum and geography syllabus.
About the Here & There Program Australian media coverage on the Here and There Program
Reasons for interest in the Here & There program: Testimonials from students of Killara High School
Romy Silver, Year 8: Because it is a really rare experience. Not many people get to see the life of the kids in Uganda and Refugees in the way we will if we get to participate in the Here and There Program.I hope to learn more about how the effects of being a refugee changes your childhood and the way you see life as well as getting to learn about just how lucky everyone is at Killara High School.I do not know if it will, because whether or not their lives are the way I imagine...I can only really find out once I've started the program. No research or written interviews could let you be the one to ask the questions or see the opinions of different individuals. Melissa Xu and Ann Quian, Year 7: Because we think that we will be able to learn more about the students by face to face communication rather than reading reports.What differences we have and if there are any similarities. What thoughts [questions] they have for us.Yes, because they'll probably have a very different life so we'll have more knowledge about their lifestyle and their past. Julia Gapon, Year 8: I am really interested in participating in the Here and There program as, honestly, I have no clue where Uganda is, how the population lives, in fact, until now, I barely knew it existed. It is quite an unknown country and I would love to learn more about it. I hope to learn the differences and similarities between our everyday lives. I hope to learn about the difficulties children in Uganda have to deal with every day.I think it will greatly change my perspective on education and refugees as we will learn more about them. It will be a great experience and I am really looking forward to it. Daniella Csizmadia, Year 8: Because it is a great opportunity to know what people / students in Uganda are like, how they live their lives everyday. So basically it just sounds like an interesting program to be a part of. What students hope to learn through interaction with the refugee students.What they need to go through just to be able to go to school, What their daily morning routine consists of, what problems they face. Potential for changing your perspective on refugees, education or other aspects of life.

Matias Sanchez made quite an impression with his first MLS start. In last Saturday's 2-0 loss to Colorado at Crew Stadium, Sanchez played 77 minutes and was described as one of the best players on the field by head coach Robert Warzycha.

Taking Action: Beardsley Park neighbor helps improve area
Updated: January 21, 2013
The positive came in the form of information. The neighborhood group puts on forums at Beardsley Park. Several times a year, they'll hold sessions on issues like health, education, and employment. It's a way to teach the children living nearby.
"It's very necessary for them to know there are a ton of different resource to gain employment and education," said Howell.
And that initiative has caught the City of Champaign's attention. It's also earned Mary and the group the city's STAR award. It's an honor given to those who've made a difference in their community.
"I'm always surprised by the level of commitment by our neighborhood leaders," said John Ruffin with the city.
And that commitment for Howell and her group goes beyond the award.
"It means a lot to know that you can do so little and get so much from those kids' perspective," said Howell.
The City of Champaign is looking for nominees for this year's STAR awards. If you know someone deserving of recognition, click here for more details.
